Chapter 43 Domineering Protection of Daughter

"Do you know how much three thousand yuan is? You are so shameless to ask for that." Yuan Yujuan heard the noise and ran over from the front yard. She just happened to hear what Ms. Deng said and immediately retorted.

Ms. Deng said indifferently, "If I hadn't picked up his daughter, I'm afraid this dead girl would have been eaten by wild wolves in the mountains. What's wrong with me asking him for some money?"

"There were so many people going up the mountain at that time. How was it possible? He would have been eaten by wild wolves. Maybe there was a better family who brought him back. She was already 8 years old at that time and she couldn't do any work." Yuan Yujuan said angrily.

Ms. Deng threw a tantrum and said, "I don't care about the kindness I've shown you over the years. It must be worth three thousand dollars. Hurry up and bring the money over, and I'll let you take the person away."

"Since I came to this family, I have never had enough to eat. But I have not lacked anything. I have done housework, worked in the fields, and picked up wheat ears. Which one have I not done?" Zeng Wenjuan listed her childhood experiences one by one. She said indignantly: "If you were not afraid that your children would not be able to find a wife at that time, and that it would cost money to find a wife, I am afraid you would not have brought me home."

"What? You were wearing a jade pendant at that time. The jade looked like a good thing. But that old hag took it out and sold it. I was bewitched back then. I wanted those few dollars, so I hid it for her." An aunt said in a pinched voice.

If Zeng Wenjuan had not been able to help the villagers make money now, she would probably never tell this story until she died. If you offend someone, you have to pay the money back. But now she doesn't feel bad at all. As long as she sells a pound of medicinal materials, the money will be returned.

Ms. Deng looked at the aunt's shaking hands and pointed at her: "Bullshit, you are slandering me. You said there is such a piece of jade. Can you tell me the zodiac?"

"It was a piece of white jade with a rabbit pattern on it and the date of birth written on the back: July 12, 1951. That's how we know. Wenjuan was already an 8-year-old girl at that time." The aunt shouted directly.

Chen Yitang's heart trembled slightly when he heard this. The corners of his lips trembled slightly as he said, "There is also a sentence engraved on the back: Daddy and Mommy's favorite little girl - Zeng Wenjuan, who lives at No. 576, Xiangjiang Street, Zhangcheng."

"Yes, yes, yes, at that time I guessed that this must be a city kid. Rural people like us would never say that our parents still call us dad and mom. I originally thought of reporting to the police and asking them to find the child. Who wouldn't be anxious if they lost their child? But..." She still gave up the idea for a few dollars.

After hearing this, Yuan Yujuan understood why the Zhao family had adopted Zeng Wenjuan. It turned out that they were attracted by the jade pendant on the child, and they could have sent the child back earlier just for a few dollars.

"Mrs. Deng... look at what you have done. How did you treat Wenjuan? Doesn't your conscience hurt? When you wake up in the middle of the night, can you really sleep?"

"What can I do? I have no money, how can I send her back? Besides, isn't this how every family raises their children? She's doing well. I even let her get married." Ms. Deng didn't think she was wrong at all. Instead, she thought these people blamed her. They just couldn't stand her doing well.

Zeng Wenjuan only realized the truth about her disappearance after hearing this. After arriving at the Zhao family, she had a high fever, and the Zhao family did not call a doctor for her. Fortunately, Zhao Jianguo got some herbs from somewhere and saved her, but after the fever subsided, Zeng Wenjuan forgot everything before the age of eight.

"I will repay the Zhao family for raising me. What's more, we have already separated. I will slowly return the pension money to you. As for anything else - forget it. If you push me to the limit, I will report you to the police and accuse you of human trafficking. I have evidence and witnesses now." Zeng Wenjuan said to Ms. Deng in a strong voice.

When Ms. Deng heard that she could not get any more money, she threw a tantrum and said, "Now that you have found your biological father, you should give us the pension money right away. My family can't even afford to eat, and you still have the conscience to eat and drink at home. You don't even know to send us some. I'm really raising a white wolf, but it's better than raising you."

"How much is it? I'll pay it for my daughter later. Our two families are separate, and don't even think about getting close to my daughter." Chen Yintang protected his daughter domineeringly.

"The total amount is 1,800 yuan. The 20 yuan you paid before is considered as interest. Just give me another 1,800 yuan. My family will definitely be rich in the future. If you want to climb up to us, you'd better kowtow to me a few times first!" Ms. Deng said sarcastically.

She thought of her son who had also signed a contract with the pharmacy. She gathered Zhou Li's family and people from the village yesterday. They dug up a lot of medicinal herbs and handed them over. They made 300 yuan.

"Okay... it's a deal. Call your man over. I don't talk about these things with women. As long as you are willing to sign and seal, we will also publish an announcement in the newspaper to terminate our relationship with you." Chen Yintang was not afraid at all. It was just money!

A lot of money has been spent in searching for Nannan over the years, but now that Nannan is found, she cannot be wronged. Moreover, it is still unknown when the search for the child will end. How much money will it cost? Chen Yitang also went through the small treasury and collected jars of money along the way.

Zhao Maohua came out smoking a pipe and pretended to be angry and said to Ms. Deng: "You are a woman, what do you know? What are you yelling about here? Isn't it normal for children to fight with each other? Go home quickly."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are my Nan Nan's adoptive father. I'm making this clear today. My child is going to sever ties with you. If you agree today, I'll give you another 200 yuan, making a total of 2,000 yuan. If you don't agree, let's go to the police station." Chen Yintang made a naked threat.

Zhao Maohua puffed on his pipe, his eyes tired as he stared at Chen Yitang, trying to see something from his eyes, but they were all foxes, so why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here? In the end, Zhao Maohua was defeated.

"Although we have raised Wenjuan for so many years and have feelings for her, you, as her biological father, have come to find him, and we can't stop him from letting him return to a better life. Then please ask the village chief to write another document for us." Zhao Maohua was the most face-conscious, so he said this in a high-sounding manner. If someone who didn't know them heard it, they would probably think that this adoptive father had a good relationship with his adopted daughter.
