Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Chapter 483 Crazy Woman

Zhan Jinhua's resistance was futile and she fainted. Sun Xiaohao hailed a taxi and took her to Jiangyuan City Mental Hospital, where he completed the admission procedures for her.

He explained to the staff, "My mother has been acting strangely lately. Her mental state is very abnormal. She keeps saying she sees ghosts. She might have schizophrenia. You must make sure she takes her medicine every day and don't miss a dose.

She has no violent tendencies, so let's put her in a room with multiple people. It'll be more lively and she won't have any wild thoughts."

He continued, facing the astonished gazes of the staff, "She's a bitch. Maybe she's done too many bad things, and even we, her children, can't hold our heads up high. You don't have to be polite to her. If she doesn't obey, use all the means you can.

If all else fails, it's fine to lock her up with patients with more serious conditions. I'm not sure if she's faking this illness to avoid jail. If she doesn't suffer a little, who knows what bad things she might do when she gets out."

Afterwards, Sun Xiaohao listed in detail the immoral things that Zhan Jinhua had done. The staff were very angry after hearing this and directly promised Sun Xiaohao that they would "take good care" of Zhan Jinhua.

After Sun Xiaohao completed the formalities, he went straight to the train station.

Compared to the mental hospital, Zhan Jinhua felt that Sun Xiaohao was more terrifying. There were more people here, so she wouldn't have nightmares again. She hadn't realized what was waiting for her.

In order to get rid of Sun Xiaohao, Zhan Jinhua even breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that he was going to put her in a mental hospital, and cooperated very well when she was admitted to the hospital.

In this way, Zhan Jinhua was transferred from the detention center to the mental hospital.

She originally thought that mental patients all lived in single rooms, but she was assigned a four-person room.

The other three beds were occupied by patients wearing hospital gowns. They looked dazed and confused, and one could tell at a glance that their mental state was abnormal.

Two of them were tied to the bed with restraints. It goes without saying that these patients either have violent tendencies or like to self-harm.

There was also a middle-aged woman, thin and weak, who was walking around the room holding a pillow. She kept smiling at the pillow and saying things like "Good baby, don't cry", as if she was coaxing a child.

Zhan Jinhua's bed was next to the door, against the wall. The nurse, with a stern face, explained the precautions she should take during her hospitalization, then turned and left, closing the ward door tightly.

As soon as the staff left, Zhan Jinhua became nervous again.

The two bound patients kept shouting and struggling to break free from their restraints, causing the bed to creak as they swayed.

The woman holding the pillow seemed to be used to it. She continued to coax the "baby" in her arms as if nothing had happened.

Zhan Jinhua sat down on the bed carefully, not daring to make any loud noise for fear of attracting the attention of other people in the ward.

The woman holding the child was tactless. After wandering around for a while, she actually sat down next to Zhan Jinhua, pushed the pillow in her arms a little closer to Zhan Jinhua, and asked her, "Do you think my baby is cute?"

Zhan Jinhua was bewildered and laughed: "...cute, cute!"

The woman then asked, "Where's your baby? Bring it over so I can see it, that's only fair..."

Zhan Jinhua responded awkwardly: "I don't have a baby!"

The woman didn't believe it. She took a closer look at Zhan Jinhua's figure and was attracted by her bulging belly. She suddenly laughed strangely and said madly, "You are lying. You said you don't have a baby, but he is in your belly!"

It turned out that the woman thought that Zhan Jinhua was pregnant because of her bulging belly.

Zhan Jinhua felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the woman, so she tried to shrink her stomach to make it look smaller.

The crazy woman still refused to give in and insisted that Zhan Jinhua take out the "baby" in her belly and show it to her immediately.

Zhan Jinhua was scared half to death. She even wondered if this madman would think of cutting her open if he failed to achieve his goal.

Fortunately, the mental hospital has strict management of dangerous items such as knives, otherwise she would not know how she died.

She had thought that this woman, who was not restrained by restraints, would be easy to deal with, but she had not expected her to be so difficult.

Zhan Jinhua didn't dare to anger the crazy woman, so she could only patiently explain: "My belly is fat, all fat, there is no baby in it..."

The crazy woman looked at Zhan Jinhua doubtfully and asked, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

She looked at her skinny body again and asked a soul-searching question: "Then tell me, how did you get so much fat?"

Zhan Jinhua really didn't know how to answer the crazy woman's strange questions to satisfy her.

She could only tentatively say, "I eat too much, that's why I have so much fat..."

The crazy woman seemed to have understood and nodded hesitantly: "Oh, I see. But we are all hungry. Did you steal our food?"

Zhan Jinhua cried out inwardly, feeling wronged. She had just arrived and was already being suspected by fellow patients of stealing their food. How could she possibly have a good life in the future?

The two were talking when the nurse came in. She came to bring them medicine.

In order to prevent patients from hiding medicine, nurses supervise patients to swallow the medicine after dispensing it and check that they do not hide any medicine in their mouths before leaving.

Zhan Jinhua felt that she was not sick and did not want to eat, so the two nurses forced the medicine into her mouth and gave her water to ensure that the medicine had entered her throat.

Seeing Zhan Jinhua being treated so violently while taking medicine, several other patients learned their lesson and took the medicine cooperatively.

Afterwards, the nurse took the crazy woman who was hugging the pillow away. When she came back, she no longer had the interest to chat with Zhan Jinhua, but was full of hostility towards her.

She said nothing and did nothing. She just stared at Zhan Jinhua with a wary and hostile look, which made Zhan Jinhua feel a chill on her back.

The crazy woman tightened her grip on the pillow, stayed away from Zhan Jinhua, and walked close to the wall, as if Zhan Jinhua was some kind of plague god.

Zhan Jinhua didn't know why this woman's attitude towards her suddenly changed. She was just a lunatic, and how could she predict the behavior of a lunatic?

The mad woman stopped talking to her, and she finally had some peace and quiet. With her nerves slightly relaxed, Zhan Jinhua lay down on the bed.

She was originally most worried about the two patients tied to the bed, fearing that they would break free and harm her.

After half a day of observation, she found that the abdominal binder was still very effective. Apart from making some noise, it did not hurt her at all. On the contrary, the middle-aged woman who looked thin and gentle was a time bomb.

Fortunately, the woman must have been tired too. After entering the room, she lay down on the hospital bed, lying on her side to coax her "baby" to sleep.

Zhan Jinhua was very tired both physically and mentally after a busy day, and fell asleep in bed at around eight o'clock.

But as she slept, she felt something was wrong. She felt like there was some movement at the head of the bed. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a woman with disheveled hair staring down at her. This sight almost scared Zhan Jinhua to death.

It was that crazy woman. I don’t know what she was doing at her bedside in the middle of the night.

She sat up from the bed, patted her chest, and asked in a trembling voice: "Big sister, what's wrong?"

The crazy woman sobbed and grabbed Zhan Jinhua's hand: "Please give my baby back to me, okay? Please don't hurt my baby. As long as you send her back safely, I will do anything..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly knelt on the ground and began to kowtow to Zhan Jinhua, her tone somewhat cautious: "My baby is still so young and can't leave me. Please be kind and return the baby to me..."

Zhan Jinhua naturally didn't know where the crazy woman's "baby" had gone. Faced with the crazy woman's request, she was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Having lived for nearly sixty years, what kind of scenes had Zhan Jinhua not seen? What kind of people had she not come into contact with? But she had only dealt with normal people before. This was her first time dealing with a lunatic.

Oh, no, if you count carefully, her sister-in-law Shen Nan should be the first crazy person she met. Shen Nan is the unreasonable type, and she will never talk nonsense if she can take action.

But the madman in front of her was talking a lot of nonsense, which made Zhan Jinhua at a loss as to what to do.

She thought that this woman might be like Shen Nan, and was going crazy because of the trauma of losing her child.

Thinking that the woman was using a pillow as a child, Zhan Jinhua simply took out her own pillow and handed it to her: "Hey, your baby is here, it's safe..."

The crazy woman took Zhan Jinhua's pillow doubtfully, put it under her nose and sniffed it, then suddenly dropped it to the ground and stomped on it twice: "My baby smells so good, don't try to fool me with a fake one..."

Zhan Jinhua wanted to argue, but the crazy woman grabbed her neck with her hands, her eyes full of murderous intent: "Tell me, did you sell my baby? If you don't return the baby to me, I will strangle you to death..."

Zhan Jinhua didn't expect that the seemingly thin crazy woman had such strong hands. She used all her strength to pry the crazy woman's hands apart, gasping for breath.

She was almost strangled to death by the crazy woman just now.
