"She wants to switch sons with me? She's dreaming!"

Fang Qiao was both shocked and furious. She wished she could get out of bed and beat Li Dan to death right away. At the same time, she even doubted whether she had misheard. Otherwise, how could she have heard such absurd and outrageous words!

However, Liu Lai'er's next words clearly told Fang Qiao that she hadn't misheard. Li Dan had indeed had such a thought, and even planned to tell her!

Liu Lai'er shrank back in fright at Fang Qiao's furious voice, but still mustered up her courage to speak: "My dad also said that my mom is dreaming, that you would never agree to it, and that she should give up on the idea and stop causing trouble. But my mom said that you already have two sons, so it doesn't matter if you give her one, and she must ask you about it."

She's gone mad!

She's insane!

How dare you even have such a thought?

She traded her own daughter for someone else's son. How could a mother do something like that?

It was one thing to favor sons over daughters before having no children, but now that her daughter has been born and is clearly the only biological child she can have in her life, she's willing to give up her only biological child for the sake of a so-called son.

Is your son that important? So important that you'd abandon your own daughter?

In her past life, when Fang Qiao was searching for her relatives, she had seen several families who exchanged their own daughters for children because they didn't have sons. However, most of them were illiterate people from poor mountain villages who couldn't read a single character. They were brainwashed and kidnapped by feudal ideas and the ignorant environment and public opinion around them, which led them to make such absurd actions.

But Li Dan is not illiterate, nor did she grow up in a remote, impoverished mountain village.

She had received a modern education and knew that women could hold up half the sky; she had even been a teacher in a childcare class before.

Fang Qiao simply couldn't understand why Li Dan would have such twisted and extreme ideas! She was simply an incomprehensible madwoman!

Liu Lai'er's voice trembled with fear: "Ah, Auntie, if my mother comes to ask you again, please, please don't, don't agree!"

Fang Qiao finally came to her senses and realized that her ugly expression had frightened the child. She hurriedly tried to force a smile, but failed.

She was so angry that she couldn't even smile while trying to comfort the child.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie isn't angry with you." She reached out and touched Liu Lai'er's slightly messy hair. "Don't worry, your sister will always be your sister, and Auntie will never agree to your mother's request. I won't give my child to anyone."

Upon receiving Fang Qiao's promise, Liu Lai'er stopped crying and started smiling.

"Thank you, Auntie. I feel relieved to hear that."

She bowed to Fang Qiao as she spoke.

The little one, when saying thank you, did it quite well.

Children's troubles come and go quickly. She skipped away, but Fang Qiao's heart sank to the bottom.

She could no longer be neighbors with Li Dan. This person's thinking was too extreme; having him around was like having a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

This time they say they'll replace it, next time they might just steal it!

Fang Qiao sat on the edge of the bed with a gloomy face. Xiao Jing cautiously spoke up, "Sister-in-law..."

She wanted to say a few words to comfort Fang Qiao, but she had always been reserved and never said anything nice. She didn't know how to start comforting her.

"I'm fine." Fang Qiao shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It's a good thing that there's Lai'er, otherwise I wouldn't have known that she had such thoughts in her heart."

What are your thoughts?

Just then, Cheng Baidong carried An'an in from outside. Tian Tian was holding a handful of milk candies and ran excitedly towards Fang Qiao as soon as she entered the door: "Auntie, have some candy!"

After giving it to Fang Qiao, she turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Auntie, have some candy!"

Fang Qiao wasn't in the mood for candy right now, and waved her hand, saying, "Auntie doesn't eat any."

Xiaojing also refused: "Auntie doesn't want any either, Tiantian, you can eat it yourself."

Cheng Baidong noticed Fang Qiao's pale face, so he quickly walked over to her, put An'an on the bed, sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Why do you look so pale?"

Fang Qiao winked at Xiao Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, take Tian Tian out for a walk. I have something to say to your older brother."

"Okay." Xiao Jing immediately bent down and carried Tian Tian out, making sure to close the ward door behind her.

The twin brothers were sleeping. As soon as Xiao Jing left, the entire ward fell silent.

An'an tugged at Fang Qiao's hair from behind. Fang Qiao reached out and grabbed her mischievous little hand in her palm, and said to Cheng Baidong, "Li Dan wants to exchange her daughter for one of our sons."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baidong's gaze instantly turned cold, and his face became grim as he asked Fang Qiao, "Did she tell you that?"

“She did come, but before she could say anything, I kicked her out,” Fang Qiao explained. “It was Lai’er who told me that she didn’t want to switch the little sister with someone else, so she secretly came to warn me not to agree.”

"Of course I won't agree, but I'm furious that Li Dan dared to even consider this idea."

In her past life, she suffered a life of loneliness and hardship; children were her Achilles' heel!

Having An'an, Chuan Chuan, and Yue Yue in this life, she felt that her life was more complete. Li Dan wanted to destroy this completeness for her, so she was her enemy, and she would never let her go!

She has a good temper, but she's not someone who doesn't hold grudges!

Fang Qiao looked up into Cheng Baidong's dark eyes and gritted her teeth as she spat out, "If she dares to reach out, I dare to chop off her hand!"

A sinister glint flashed in Cheng Baidong's dark eyes. He grasped Fang Qiao's hand and said in a deep voice, "Leave this to me. I'll handle it."

"Tell her to get out!" Fang Qiao trembled with rage, shouting, "Heshan Pharmaceutical Factory has either her or me, it's either her or me!"
