It was said that the child in the pregnant woman's belly had a good fate, either rich or noble, whether sent to study or practice martial arts, he would definitely be a marquis and prime minister. However, the child had a calamity in his life and needed to be taken good care of.

Another point is that the child could bring prosperity to brothers and sisters, but if the child was safe, the family would definitely be prosperous.

At that time, the family was so happy.

Zhong and her cousin thought at that time, otherwise, they would steal the child and raise it as their own child.

What if they could have a child while raising it? Even if there was no child, it would be an honor to be a marquis and prime minister!

So, not long after the pregnant woman was found out that she was pregnant, Zhong and her cousin began to plan to steal the child when the child was born.

The two planned for seven months, and Zhong pretended to be pregnant, so that everyone thought she had a child. When the pregnant woman was about to give birth, they left Qi'an Town for a few days on the pretext of going out to pray to gods and Buddhas, and when they came back, they came back with the child.

This child was Hu Qiangzi.

Everyone in Qi'an Town thought that Hu Qiangzi was born to Zhong. Even if no midwife saw it, she had been pregnant for several months, and everyone saw it.

Although Zhong did not give birth to a child and had no milk to feed, it did not prevent everyone from thinking that she was the mother of the child.

Later, the family that lost the child died of dystocia because the child was too big in the belly. The family gave up after searching for a while, and the man remarried after half a year, so the matter was left unresolved.

Although it was not far away, everyone saw Zhong's big belly, and no one suspected Zhong. No one thought that she was so close and so bold.

As the family became rich and moved away, Zhong and her cousin no longer cared about this matter.

They raised Hu Qiangzi as their own son and did not treat him badly.

The two did their best to let Hu Qiangzi start studying at the age of six, but Zhong's cousin died in an accident when Hu Qiangzi was seven.

Zhong firmly believed that others had predicted Hu Qiangzi's fate, and she had no intention of remarrying. She really wanted to raise Hu Qiangzi well.

She thought that even if Hu Qiangzi found out and his biological father found him in the future, she would still be grateful for raising him. If Hu Qiangzi succeeded, she would enjoy the happiness.

Another layer was that her cousin sincerely treated Hu Qiangzi as his son. Although her cousin was gone, she wanted to raise Hu Qiangzi well with her cousin's wishes.

All this changed after Hu Qiangzi stopped going to the academy.

Hu Qiangzi got into a fight and was scolded and punished by the teacher. He simply stopped going to the academy. Zhong felt that she had raised an ungrateful person.

She beat him and scolded him, but it was useless.

Hu Qiangzi also shouted that he wanted to go out and earn money to support her.

Mrs. Zhong felt that Hu Qiangzi could not do anything, so she only asked him not to leave Qi'an Town. She thought that if she did so, Hu Qiangzi would go back to study after a short time.

Unexpectedly, Du Sanniang took over the Qi'an Inn and was recruiting people, and then she recruited Hu Qiangzi.

At that time, Mrs. Zhong hated Du Sanniang very much, but she never showed her emotions to the outside world, so no one could see it.
