Chapter 384 Whose child is it?

"Open the door, Su Youfu!"

The director raised his hand and slapped the door, intending to slap it a second time, causing the gate to creak.

It turned out it was only partially closed.

The director pushed him aside and saw a child with his lower body naked, being spanked by Grandma Su.

The little child's face turned deathly pale. Seeing the director, he clenched his fists and cried out, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Xiao Bao is in pain, boohoo..."

"Xiao Bao!"

When the director's wife saw what was happening in the yard, her blood rushed to her head.

She rushed over and snatched the child into her arms. Touching the child's cold hands and small body, her eyes welled up with tears of anger.

She yanked open her cotton-padded coat and stuffed the child inside, glaring fiercely at Old Lady Su, "What are you doing?! What are you doing! How dare you not dress such a small child..."

Su Youfu was somewhat bewildered to see that the director and his family had all arrived.

"Director, what brings you all here?"

The director said coldly, "You still have the nerve to ask us why we're here? Su Youfu, look what you've done!"

Su Youfu was puzzled. When he saw his wife, he quickly called her "Liberation Wife".

The young wife didn't even look at him, but rushed over and touched the child's little face, which was red from the cold. "Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, how are you?"

"Waaah, Mommy, my bottom hurts so much! Grandma hit me..."

The child was crying with tears streaming down his face, which made the young wife and the director's wife feel sorry for him. They pointed at the Su family mother and son and started cursing.

"Are you crazy? It's so cold, and you've stripped him naked. What if he catches a cold?"

"Who told you to take Xiaobao's clothes off? Are you trying to kill him?"

The two of them went back and forth, scolding each other, leaving Grandma Su completely bewildered. She forced a dry laugh and tried to explain, "Children are more afraid of heat than cold, and kids have iron bottoms for three years, they don't get sick that easily..."

She took the clothes and handed them over, intending to dress the child, but the young woman grabbed them and cursed, "You old hag, get out of here."

The mother and daughter dressed the child, who then nestled in the director's wife's arms.

He grabbed her clothes and called out, "Grandma."

"Oh, my little treasure."

"Xiao Bao, Grandpa's here to save you too." The director half-squatted down and took the child's hand. The child pouted and called out, "Grandpa."

"Why."

The director patted the child's head, straightened up, and looked coldly at Su Youfu and his mother.

Su Youfu was even more confused. He opened his mouth and asked the director, "What... what's going on?"

"You're asking me?"

The director was so angry he wanted to kill someone. "I also want to ask you, why is my child here with you?"

"...Director, what are you saying? This is my grandson. Isn't it normal for him to be in my home?" Su Youfu said.

Seeing how protective the family was of their child, Old Mrs. Su had a sudden inspiration and shouted, "Son, they're trying to take our child away from us! Quick, get the child back..."

She lunged forward, grabbed the child's feet, and pulled him toward herself.

"This is my great-grandson, not your child. Let go of him!"

The child cried out in pain as the hand was pulled.

"You old hag, let go right now, you're hurting Xiaobao."

The young woman patted Grandma Su's hand, but Grandma Su was determined to take the child away. Her fingernails almost dug into the child's flesh, and the child cried out in pain.

The noise attracted the attention of the neighbors, who all exclaimed, "Aunt Su, let go quickly, look how you're pulling the child..."

"I won't let go, this is my son's grandson and my great-grandson!"

Grandma Su shouted, "They're bullying us and trying to snatch my child! Everyone, come and judge this!"

The director's forehead veins bulged.

What utter nonsense!

"The child belongs to our family!"

The family of three was furious with Old Mrs. Su's shamelessness. The mother and daughter held onto the child tightly, refusing to let go. The child clearly belonged to their family; when did he become part of the Su family?

Both sides claimed the child as theirs, and the neighbors who were watching the commotion began to whisper among themselves.

"Isn't this my own child? How could I not recognize him?"

"Why do I feel like the child looks like the director's child?"

"I think so too. People who spend every day with their children are unlikely to mistake them for someone else. It's Su Youfu who's confused with his mother..."

"The two of them have never seen their own grandson, so they've probably mistaken him for someone else."

"Yes, I think so too."

Hearing the discussion, Su Youfu pulled at his mother, "Mom, wait a minute!"

He pointed to the woman who had been liberated and asked the child, "Is this your mother?"

"Waaah, Mommy..." The child's face was covered in tears as he struggled to get a hug from his wife.

Su Youfu felt his vision blur. Looking at his wife, he said, "How could this be? Isn't this my grandson? You, Jiefang's wife, asked someone to help me snatch him! You gave him to me! How could this be..."

"Who gave it to you? What nonsense are you spouting?!" The young wife quickly shifted the blame.

Su Youfu's eyes widened. "It was you! When I left your house, you had someone slip this to me..."

"fart!"

The director's wife pointed at Su Youfu, "Who gave it to you? I was holding my child when I went to pay New Year's visits and ask for lucky money, and you came and snatched it away from me!"

"Impossible! Watch how I take it!"

Su Youfu patted his leg, which was now lame and splinted, and said, "I need crutches to walk with this leg, how can I go and steal it?! I know, you regret it, don't want to give me the child anymore? You want to use Li Banxia's grandson to ask her for money and negotiate, right?"

His eyes lit up, he swallowed hard, and called her "Liberation's wife."

He asked her urgently, "Are you going to use the child to blackmail Li Banxia into releasing Jiefang?"

A group of people, "..."

"You're crazy! This is my grandson!"

The director, unable to contain his anger any longer, spat at Su Youfu and roared, "We went to see Li Banxia a few days ago, and her grandson was perfectly fine at home! When her grandson was taken away by human traffickers, someone from her family chased after them, and the child was rescued on the spot. He wasn't kidnapped at all. This is our grandson! And..."

He glared at Su Youfu, gritting his teeth as he reminded him, "Our family has nothing to do with Lin Jiefang anymore. Don't say anything more about these illegal and disorderly things that could harm our family!"

"Pah!"

Grandma Su spat at the director and said, "In the end, you just want to monopolize all the benefits. Don't even think about it! We also want money. If you want the child, give us ten thousand yuan, otherwise no one will be able to take the child away."

Su Youfu suddenly remembered what Li Banxia had told him: the first person to spot and chase after the child was the former aunt of the "Liberation Wife." That bitch hadn't told him whether the child had been caught!

The director said he caught up?

Was this child actually born to his family?

Is he the boss?

Su Youfu felt uneasy and swallowed hard, not daring to speak rashly.

Grandma Su insisted that this was her great-grandson, and that if they wanted to take him away, they should pay money in exchange. She demanded 10,000 yuan, not a penny less, otherwise she would not let go!

The director, seeing his grandson's leg red from being pulled, was furious and shouted, "Call the police! Let the police handle this!"
