I don’t know if it was because of those people who came today, but no one came to visit Dani at Lao Zhao’s house at night, so Lao Zhao had time to call his two sons and talk about what happened during the day.

Zhao Fang and Zhao Yuan also agreed with their father's approach. Zhao Fang was a little worried that the old man was being deceived, so he decided to go home the next day.

So the next day at noon, Dani suddenly saw her father, who looked exhausted, appear at her doorstep. She was so scared that she dropped the basin of water she was holding.

Zhao Fang hasn't been back since the second floor was built. He has been working at the construction site for more than a year. The work there is very busy, and he will lose a lot of money if he takes a day off, so he hasn't been back for almost two months.

And before he left, he said he would come back after the New Year, but now he came home without any warning.

Seeing Dani drop the basin, Zhao Fang couldn't help but frown, "You can't even do your job well! What's the point of having you?"

He was about to say something else, but suddenly remembered what his father had said before: this girl had contributed a lot to the construction of the second floor of the house, so he swallowed the words back.

Hou Wenting followed Zhao Fang in. Both of them were sweating profusely. After a quick wash, they ran to Lao Zhao's room to talk. They had to clarify the land exchange matter.

Dani brought the food to the two of them nervously, and then sat in the kitchen in a daze.

What the sister said came true, her parents really came back, so is the other thing she said also true?

Could it be that she really wasn't a child of the Zhao family? Then where were her biological parents? Why was she here?

Dani felt empty inside at the moment. Her silence did not arouse any suspicion from the Zhao family. She had always been ignored. As long as she could do her job well and make more money at night, no one cared about her mood.

Everyone in the village saw Zhao Fang and his wife coming back, so Da Niu was able to rest at night.

After nine o'clock, the old couple went to bed, and the rest of the people were in their own rooms even if they made any noise. Dani waited for a while, not knowing whether she should listen to Wei Mian.

She struggled with her thoughts in bed for a long time, and finally decided to go to the bathroom. If she could hear something, she would listen to it. If she couldn't hear anything, then she wouldn't hear anything and just pretend she knew nothing.

After comforting herself in this way, Dani walked out of the room quietly.

When she passed by Zhao Fang and his wife's room, she saw light coming through the crack in the door and heard faint voices coming from inside the room.

Dani bit her lip and crept closer.

"...If that place brings prosperity to future generations, we can all benefit from it. If Erni becomes successful in the future, we will also benefit from it."

This was the voice of mother Hou Wenting, with a hint of flattery.

Hou Wenting has been speaking in this tone for many years. Previously, it was because she didn't give birth to a child for the Zhao family, and later it was because she didn't give birth to a son.

Seeing Zhao Fang remain silent, Hou Wenting's face flashed with embarrassment. She continued to be humble and said, "Even if you think Er Ni is still young, we are now relying on Dani's help. Otherwise, where else could we find such a nice house to live in?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Fang turned around and looked at her with annoyance. "What does borrowing Dani's strength have to do with you? She was raised by my Zhao family."

When Hou Wenting heard this, she felt that all the credit she had put into raising Dani over the years was being wiped out. She felt a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to refute.

But Zhao Fang felt even more disgusted when he saw her like that. The two of them had always had a bad relationship since Erni was born. Zhao Fang felt that he had no hope in this life as he didn't have a son.

It would be fine if life was as hard as before, but seeing that his family conditions were getting better and better, but he didn't have his own son, and would have to rely on his nephew for life in the future, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially recently he has heard a lot of instigation from several co-workers. If he changes the woman, maybe he can give birth to a son?

The young widow in the barber shop at the entrance of the construction site has hinted to him several times that she wants to follow him.

So Zhao Fang now dislikes his wife particularly.

Hou Wenting suddenly looked up and happened to meet Zhao Fang's undisguised disgusted gaze. Thinking of those rumors, she was suddenly filled with resentment.

"I know you've blamed me for not giving you a son for all these years, but when we first checked and found out that I was not in good health, we agreed to adopt one, and you agreed at that time!"

Zhao Fang frowned suddenly. Here it comes again, bringing up old things every few days. After so many years, he is still bringing up the same old things. He is really fed up with this kind of life.

"I agreed at the time. I agreed because you said to adopt a son, but is the one I adopted a son?"

Hou Wenting was unhappy when she heard this. "You were the one who went in and held the baby in the hospital. How can you blame me when you held a girl?"

"Why don't I blame you? It was you who told me to bring the blue blanket, but you brought back a little girl!"

"Then how do I know that some girls are also swaddled in blue? I'm not a god! And why didn't you open it and check when you were holding it?"

The two of them would say the same thing every time they quarreled. Zhao Fang could even guess what Hou Wenting was going to say next, but she felt aggrieved about it, and so did he.

They took such a big risk to steal a baby from the hospital, thinking it was a boy, but they didn't expect that the girl was also swaddled in a blue blanket. Zhao Fang was so nervous at the time that he didn't even open it to take a look. He just picked up a blue blanket and ran away.

The two did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly took the child and boarded the train back to their hometown. It was not until they were almost home that they realized that the child in their arms was actually a girl.

But at that time, the two had already told their hometown people that they would come back with the child, so Zhao Fang had no choice but to go back.

The child who was brought back was Dani.

Later, they simply left their children in their hometown and continued to work outside, but they never dared to go back to the previous city.

The two also thought about stealing another boy and throwing Dani away if they succeeded, but they didn't find an opportunity for several years until Hou Wenting announced the good news of her pregnancy.

Who would take the risk of stealing a child when you can give birth to one yourself? Besides, an adopted child can never be compared with a biological one. But after Zhao Fang carefully took care of her for nine months, Hou Wenting gave birth to a girl.

Zhao Fang's heart was completely chilled.

Hou Wenting noticed that Zhao Fang's face was getting uglier and uglier, and she knew that she had been in the wrong all these years, so she softened her stance and said, "Even if she's just a girl, we've made a lot of money from her in the past two years. I heard that some places in the south are recruiting young and fresh girls. Several people in my hometown village have made a lot of money. If things don't work out, we can send her there. No one in the village will know she's going to be a prostitute anyway!"

Zhao Fang also suppressed his temper. He really couldn't divorce Hou Wenting so easily. If this crazy woman got angry, she might expose the fact that he had stolen the child.

By then, not to mention having another son, he himself would probably end up in jail.

But now he is only 45 years old, and Hou Wenting is already 51. It is impossible for her to have children. There is no hope for his beloved son.
