I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 168: People Aren't That Bad

While Teacher Shen was breastfeeding, Yuan Xiu asked her, "Do you remember how you fell?"

Teacher Shen nodded, "When I was going upstairs, my foot suddenly slipped. At that moment, Xiaoting happened to be coming downstairs. She tried to pull me up, but she couldn't. That's probably why Sister Zhu misunderstood and thought that she pushed me."

She remained conscious after falling down the building, but the pain was too much for her to speak.

Wang Ting nodded: "I did want to pull you up, but that Zhu guy insisted that I pushed you, and now I don't know what he's saying about me at home."

The hospital ambulance has arrived, so the neighbors must have noticed something was wrong and will inevitably go to the house to find out what happened.

Yuan Xiu asked Wang Ting, "Did you trip and fall when you went upstairs to get the blanket?"

At the time, Yuan Xiu was checking on Teacher Shen's condition and did not look upstairs, but she heard a crashing sound.

Wang Ting nodded: "I was running too fast, and my foot slipped and I fell. My knee hit the stairs."

Teacher Shen's gaze fell on her knees: "Are you hurt?"

Wang Ting then rolled up her trouser leg, revealing a dark bruise and obvious swelling around her knee.

She only felt the pain now and started hissing.

Yuan Xiu got up and went out. A moment later, she returned with a bottle of iodine and cotton swabs. "Clean it yourself."

Wang Ting took the medicine and sat on the edge of the bed to apply it to herself.

Teacher Shen seemed unwell, so Yuan Xiu cut to the chase: "You both fell on the stairs, what a coincidence! Was it the same spot?"

Wang Ting and Teacher Shen exchanged a glance and said, "It seems to be the same place, especially slippery."

At first, neither of them noticed this detail, but now that they had calmed down, Yuan Xiu's question made them realize that something was wrong.

Yuan Xiu certainly couldn't say that someone was deliberately harming people, because she herself couldn't be sure. She could only point out some unreasonable aspects and let them think about it for themselves.

Wang Ting: "Did Sister Zhu not mop the floor properly, or did she do it on purpose?"

Teacher Shen: "It shouldn't have been intentional..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Ting interrupted her, "Don't be so naive! She's not a good person! Last time she deliberately tried to sow discord in front of you, didn't you notice? Who knows what she's up to! I heard her family is quite poor, right? She's probably just jealous of how well you're doing, so she's deliberately trying to harm you!"

Teacher Shen frowned: "Xiaoting, people aren't that bad."

"You just haven't seen it before!"

Wang Ting said indignantly, "Just because my brother is smart, that old woman's sister tricked him to the well and almost pushed him in! It's because she's afraid our family will produce another successful person who's just as vicious as that old woman!"

Teacher Shen knew that the old woman Wang Ting was referring to was her deceased mother-in-law. "I was originally planning to let her go, but Old Wang went to the company these past few days, so she stayed a few more days."

She simply couldn't believe that Sister Zhu would kill her.

She realized that Sister Zhu had ulterior motives, so she wrote a letter home and found an excuse to return Sister Zhu's money. The two of them agreed that she would leave once Old Wang returned from the company.

"Did you tell her to leave?"

Teacher Shen nodded.

Wang Ting snorted coldly: "It must be because you kicked her out that she harmed you. If you were alright, she could have stayed and taken care of you."

Teacher Shen closed her eyes, her spirits becoming increasingly weak.

Yuan Xiu: "Let's put this matter aside for now. You should rest and get a good night's sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Wang Ting wanted to say something, but Yuan Xiu shushed her and waved her away.

Because of the anesthesia, Teacher Shen quickly fell asleep.

Yuan Xiu covered her with a blanket and then took Wang Ting outside.

The two didn't go far, standing at the door to keep an eye on the situation in the ward.

You'll soon find out whether she did it on purpose or not.

Wang Ting was taken aback: "How come it's so fast?"

Just then, footsteps sounded in the corridor. The two looked over and saw Wu Yufen had arrived.

If Sister Zhu is alright, Wu Yufen shouldn't have arrived so late.

really……

"Xiao Yuan, you were right. That Sister Zhu was definitely up to something. As soon as you left, she went inside, grabbed a rag, and started wiping the floor. And instead of wiping the bottom of the stairs first, she climbed up to wipe the top stairs! She didn't notice me following her in. When I called her, she panicked. She's clearly done something wrong!"

Wu Yufen took a breath and continued, "I reached out and touched the stairs, then lay down and smelled them. Guess what was smeared on the stairs?"

Wang Ting: "What?!"

Yuan Xiu: "It's oil."

Wu Yufen: "Yes! It's oil!"

Wang Ting stormed out, furious: "I knew it was her! I'm going to beat her to death!"

Wu Yufen grabbed her arm, frowning as she began to reprimand her: "Comrade Wang Ting! You stop right there! As a soldier, who are you trying to kill with your mouth? Don't let your personal emotions tarnish the image of our soldiers!"

Wang Ting kicked the wall hard!

Yuan Xiu: "Where is she now?"

"She's been locked up," Wu Yufen said. "She won't admit it, saying Wang Ting pushed her and that she doesn't know when the oil was spilled. Do you think I'd be fooled by her? We sent her straight to the security office."

Yuan Xiu gave Wu Yufen a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! I knew if I told you about this, you would definitely catch the murderer quickly and get justice for Teacher Shen and Wang Ting!"

Wu Yufen was very pleased with Yuan Xiu's praise. That's right, she was the Bao Zheng of the family compound!

Another brilliant chapter has been added to his life's resume!

I heard that Sister Zhu was sent to the security department. Wang Ting stopped making a fuss. The security department can even find out spies, so that woman definitely can't escape!

"Xiao Yuan, you go back and rest first. I'll stay here and keep watch."

Compared to Yuan Xiu's exhaustion, Wu Yufen was full of energy. "You're pregnant, and you still have to go to work tomorrow."

Yuan Xiu didn't insist. "Xiao Ting, come back with me. Go back and pack some clothes for Teacher Shen and the baby. I noticed Teacher Shen doesn't have much breast milk. She bought some formula before, so go back and find some and bring a can too..."

Wang Ting nodded. "Is there anything else I should bring? Should I make her some rice porridge?"

"Cook it!" Wu Yufen said, "You'll definitely be hungry when you wake up tomorrow morning. Once you've cooked it, just put it in a thermos and bring it over so you can drink it anytime."

After Wang Ting and Yuan Xiu left, Wu Yufen quietly entered the ward and sat down by the bedside.

She leaned closer to examine the child in Teacher Shen's arms. "Tsk! Oh my, look at him, he's not good-looking at all. Is he a girl or a boy?"

She carefully lifted the swaddling clothes and looked inside. "...Girls change a lot as they grow up, becoming more and more beautiful."
