Chapter 174 Car Accident at the Intersection
Chapter 174 Car Accident at the Intersection
Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Song Qiao immediately turned around and saw several children standing under a persimmon tree, including a nursery rhyme.
"Nursery rhyme!"
Song Qiao couldn't hold back any longer and shouted through the door.
Tong Yao heard the shouts at the door and looked over, but remembering her mother's instructions, she stood up and ran back to the classroom.
"Mingxuan! So the nursery rhyme is from this kindergarten?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan with surprise and delight: "Shall we go in?"
Seeing this, the security guard quickly reminded them, "You can't go in. The kindergarten is in session, and you can't just enter."
To calm her down, Lu Mingxuan put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't get agitated. As long as you know the child is here, that's all that matters. We'll definitely bring her back this time."
Song Qiao looked up at Lu Mingxuan and asked, "What if Wang Cuihua won't let me take her away?"
"Let's discuss it with her!"
Considering that Wang Cuihua only has one child, Tong Yao, Song Qiao said helplessly, "Let's wait until the child gets out of school and then talk to Wang Cuihua properly."
Ever since Song Qiao learned that Jiang Ming had switched the baby, she hadn't thought about the child for a single moment. If he really took the child away, what would happen to Wang Cuihua and Tong Yujun, who had lost the ability to have children?
Thinking about all this, Song Qiao looked conflicted and stood at the kindergarten gate with Lu Mingxuan by her side, pondering many things.
Parents waited for their children at the gate, arriving one after another. Song Qiao's eyes darted between the kindergarten and back again, checking if Wang Cuihua was among those who had come.
While cooking at home, Wang Cuihua accidentally cut her hand. Seeing the blood on her finger, she went back to her room to bandage it.
While wrapping the bag, she looked at her husband Tong Jun, who was sitting in a wheelchair: "Is Song Qiao waiting at the kindergarten gate again? I'm getting anxious, my hand is cut."
Tong Yujun looked at her and said, "Hiding like this isn't a solution. Why don't we talk to Song Qiao? Although she gave birth to this child, we raised her with our own hands and feet."
Wang Cuihua wrapped her finger with a strip of cloth and shook her head: "She won't agree. Who would want their own flesh and blood to be separated from them?"
Wang Cuihua and Tong Yujun were chatting about this when she suddenly looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Oh no! School's out."
"Go quickly, and be careful on the road."
Tong Yujun looked up and saw that there were less than five minutes left before school ended. It would take ten minutes just to ride a bike on the way home, so he reminded Wang Cuihua, who was walking out of the room.
They rented a small courtyard house because Tong Yujun couldn't walk, so they couldn't live in a house with stairs. In the end, they found a small courtyard house that the previous owners had moved out of.
The homeowner moved upstairs and rented this place to them.
The money Song Qiao secured for her is still in her hands, and she plans to buy an apartment with an elevator when the time is right; she's been inquiring about it recently.
While riding her bicycle, Wang Cuihua changed her mind. She no longer wanted to buy a house in Wenzhen. She still wanted to take Tongyao and her husband to live in a more distant city. Her daughter would be starting school next year, and they couldn't keep moving around.
After thinking it over, Wang Cuihua rode her electric bike to the kindergarten gate. Just as she propped up her bike, she looked up and saw Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan blocking the kindergarten gate.
"What should we do?"
Just as she was getting anxious, Tong Yao ran out of the yard and shouted, "Mommy, why are you so late? All the other children have left."
When Song Qiao saw Tong Yao, she stared intently at her. When she heard Tong Yao call her "Mom," she quickly bent down and instinctively stretched out her hands.
However, when Tong Yao came out and looked past her to the back, Song Qiao came to her senses and realized that the "Mom" she was calling was for Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua realized she could no longer hide, so she went over and picked up Tong Yao, looking at Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan: "Miss Song, Dr. Lu, what brings you here?"
"Sister-in-law Cuihua, can we talk?"
Song Qiao looked at Wang Cuihua with tears in her eyes.
"I have nothing to talk to you about, Yao Yao! Let's go home."
Wang Cuihua, holding a nursery rhyme, walked towards her electric scooter.
"Sister-in-law Cuihua, listen to me..."
Song Qiao was about to chase after her when Lu Mingxuan grabbed her arm: "This is a kindergarten. Let's follow her and talk at her house."
Song Qiao looked around and noticed that many parents and teachers picking up their children were looking at her, so she could only nod and say, "Okay!"
Wang Cuihua put the nursery rhyme on her electric scooter and rode away.
"Mom, why is Jiang Xiaoran's mom crying? And Uncle Lu, he was very nice to me when I was in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuihua glanced down at Tong Yao and said, "If you encounter them in the future, don't pay them any attention. Jiang Xiaoran is not a good child; it's all because her mother didn't raise her properly."
In fact, Wang Cuihua knew in her heart that Jiang Ming and his mother had always spoiled Jiang Xiaoran, and that the two times Tong Yao was beaten were compensation from Song Qiao.
"But Uncle Lu is a really nice person!"
Wang Cuihua glanced at her daughter again: "He's a doctor, it's only right that he treats his patients well."
The two rode bicycles in front, while Lu Mingxuan drove behind. Song Qiao looked at the bicycle in front with tears in her eyes and said, "Mingxuan, Wang Cuihua will not give me the child. I have made up my mind. As long as she is good to Tong Yao, I will let the child stay with them. But I have only one request: to return to Jiangcheng so that I can see the child anytime."
Lu Mingxuan sat in the driver's seat, leaning forward, and heard Song Qiao say, "Let's talk about it when we get to his house. I feel you should tell Tong Yao the truth and let her know that you are her real mother. As for how the child chooses, we will respect her opinion."
They reached an intersection, but because Wang Cuihua was in a hurry to get home, she didn't stop even though the light was red. With Song Qiao's exclamation, a car knocked down her electric scooter.
"Nursery rhymes?"
Song Qiao was sitting in the car, and before the car had even come to a complete stop, she wanted to get out, but Lu Mingxuan grabbed her arm and said, "Don't rush, I'll pull the car over."
Lu Mingxuan parked the car on the side of the road, and the two of them got out and ran over.
Seeing Wang Cuihua crawling motionless on the ground, and Tong Yao lying there with her eyes closed after being knocked to the side, Song Qiao picked up Tong Yao and exclaimed, "Yao Yao!"
Lu Mingxuan went to Wang Cuihua's side, turned her over, and immediately began to perform artificial respiration. While doing so, he looked up at the people who had gathered around and said, "Quickly call an ambulance."
Upon seeing this, the driver who hit the pedestrian quickly picked up his phone and dialed 120 for an ambulance and the police.
Song Qiao hugged Tong Yao and cried out, "Mingxuan, come and see the child!"
Lu Mingxuan looked up at the driver and said, "You continue to perform CPR on her. I'll go check on the child."
The driver was a young man who delivered goods to supermarkets. He had just received a call from a supermarket that needed his goods, so he was in a bit of a hurry.
The light had already turned green, so he hadn't gone the wrong way. Thinking that saving lives was the priority, he listened to Lu Mingxuan and started performing CPR on Wang Cuihua.
