After Old Lady Zhang finished speaking, she knelt down in the direction of Fu Hongxing.

Neither Ning Jing nor Fu Hongxing expected that this old woman would be so shameless.

Tan Dingguo was also startled by this sudden turn of events.

What can we say about Granny Zhang? She's so old, and she's kneeling down to a junior like Fu Hongxing. If word gets out, how will Fu Hongxing face anyone after this?

Before he could react, Fu Hongxing had already dodged away, then pulled Old Lady Zhang up, his face dark, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Lady Zhang grabbed Fu Hongxing's arm tightly as he helped her up, and said with her head tilted back, "I'm entrusting Xiaofeng and the others to you!"

She tried to pounce on Fu Hongxing, but he dodged her.

But now, he's obediently come to my door, Old Lady Zhang thought smugly.

Upon hearing her words, Ning Jing's face showed a hint of anxiety, and she glared at Fu Hongxing resentfully without saying a word.

Fu Hongxing lowered his head as if somewhat ashamed and remained silent.

Seeing this, Old Lady Zhang gripped even tighter and cried even louder.

The crying was so loud it was like a demonic sound, causing Tan Dingguo and several other village officials to frown.

Not to mention Fu Hongxing, whose arm was being held tightly by her and who couldn't break free.

As if she was completely at her wit's end by her crying, Fu Hongxing sighed heavily, then said with a dark face, "You want me to support them? You can't expect me to support them for nothing, can you?"

When Old Lady Zhang saw that Fu Hongxing's tone had softened, she immediately knew that there was hope.

The wailing stopped abruptly, and she replied somewhat obsequiously, "Brother-in-law, you are the children's maternal uncle. Raise them, and I promise they will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hongxing's already dark face turned as black as soot at the bottom of a pot.

"How dare you talk like that? What do you mean by taking care of me in my old age? Can't I have my own sons to take care of me in my old age? Besides, when they grow up, aren't they still your Zhang family's offspring? It's a wonder they'll take care of their uncle in his old age!"

Fu Hongxing tried to shake off Old Lady Zhang's hand in annoyance, but he couldn't shake it off several times. Old Lady Zhang then used both arms to hold on tightly to Fu Hongxing's arm and refused to let go.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't be angry. It's just that this old woman doesn't know how to speak properly."

However, I meant well.

"Why don't you think of something to do?"

As long as she doesn't have to pay for the medical expenses to support a half-dead girl, she'll agree to whatever Fu Hongxing says.

Fu Hongxing hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowed, looking troubled.

Tan Dingguo, standing nearby, also chimed in to mediate: "Hongxing, no matter what, this is your sister's child. I know your wife might feel uncomfortable saying this, but as human beings, we have to be true to our conscience."

Upon hearing this, Ning Jing's expression immediately turned quite unpleasant.

Tan Dingguo really doesn't know the meaning of pain until he experiences it himself.

Fortunately, she had originally planned to keep Xiaofeng and the others.

Otherwise, after being told such a saintly thing by Tan Dingguo, if she didn't stay, wouldn't that prove Tan Dingguo right, that she was a heartless person who didn't deserve to be called human?

Fu Hongxing's face turned completely black when Tan Dingguo finished speaking.
