The Childless Couple's Secret

A couple got married at the age of 20 but had not been able to have children even by the time they reached 35. They went to a county hospital to get checked but couldn't find any medical issues. Unable to bear the gossip from people in their village, they decided to move out for work.

The couple rented a house in the urban village of a big city. The husband worked at a construction site while the wife took a job at a restaurant. Across the street, there was a residential area where a young nanny was often seen with a little boy. The nanny was quite young and enjoyed playing around. Surprisingly, the couple took an interest in the child, planning to steal him away.

After much deliberation, the husband was hesitant, fearing that they might get caught by the police. One day, both the couple and the child disappeared suddenly. It was the day when the child also went missing. The police checked the surveillance cameras but found no recordings due to road construction at that time. They then checked the couple's identification with the landlord of the rented house, only to discover that their IDs were fake. It appeared that they had planned this for a long time.

It turned out that the couple had treated the child very well.
