When Su Chen's mother saw Fang Qiao, she didn't feel embarrassed at all by being surrounded. Instead, she took the initiative to speak, adopting the air of an elder and a condescending attitude: "You must be Tian Tian's aunt, right? If I remember correctly, isn't your name Fang Qiao?"

Fang Qiao glanced at her but didn't respond.

Su Chen's mother wasn't embarrassed at all. She smoothed her messy hair, coughed, and said, "You've come at the right time. Tell your fellow villagers if I'm Tian Tian's grandmother. Guests are guests, and besides, we're all relatives. I'm Tian Tian's grandmother, and you're her maternal uncle's aunt. What kind of scene is this! Everyone, disperse, disperse."

After Su Chen's mother finished speaking, she realized that no one around her had moved at all.

Her face paled, and her eyes darkened.

She looked at Fang Qiao, forcing a smile: "Sweetie's aunt, don't just stand there, say something too, tell everyone to leave. It's a family matter, you can talk about it behind closed doors, but if you make a scene outside, people will just laugh at you."

"What's it to you?" Fang Qiao scoffed. "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Su Chen's mother's smile froze: "Sweetie's aunt, that's not right of you! How can you turn your back on someone in front of everyone?"

Fang Qiao thought to herself: So what if I turn my back on you?

The pledge to sever ties has been signed, it's written in black and white, there's nothing to argue about.

She bent down, picked up Tian Tian, ​​and turned to walk out of the crowd.

Wang Qiuju quickly followed.

Just as I stepped outside the crowd, I saw Cheng Baidong rushing over.

"How is it?" He reached out to take Tian Tian from Fang Qiao's arms.

Sweetie wrapped her arms around Fang Qiao's neck, buried her head in her shoulder, and shook her head, unwilling to be hugged by him: "Auntie, hug me."

Compared to her uncle, Tian Tian is closer to Fang Qiao.

Fang Qiao patted Tian Tian's back to comfort her, "It's okay, let me hold her."

"No, Sweetie is too heavy. If you carry her all the way back, your back will start to hurt again."

Cheng Baidong disagreed and bent down to coax Tiantian gently: "Tiantian, let your uncle carry you. You've grown up and are a bit heavy. Your aunt has back pain, and it's too tiring for her to carry you all the time. She'll get back pain later."

"Okay, then." Sweetie is a kind and understanding child. Although she would prefer to be held by her aunt, since her aunt's back hurts, it's okay for her uncle to hold her instead.

Reluctantly, she released her arms from Fang Qiao's neck and instead reached out her arms to Cheng Baidong.

Cheng Baidong reached out and pinched her armpit, transferring her from Fang Qiao's embrace to his own.

At this moment, Auntie San, who was working in the far north, also received the news and rushed over. Seeing that Tian Tian was safe and sound nestled in Cheng Baidong's arms, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

She glared fiercely at Sun Chen's mother on the donkey cart, then turned to her family and said, "Let's go home."

Su Chen's mother was unwilling to return empty-handed.

With her bound feet, she jumped off the donkey cart and stumbled after it, calling out, "Wait!"

She stopped trying to negotiate and stated her purpose directly: "Tian Tian is my granddaughter, and I'm taking her home! No way!"

Take her away!

Cheng Baidong paused, turned around, stared expressionlessly into Sun Chen's mother's eyes, and said coldly, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Cheng Baidong's gaze was icy, and his tone was like ice. Su Chen's mother felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her with his dark eyes, as if she were being watched by some large, ferocious beast.

With just one glance, her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and she dared not take another step forward.

She felt a little apprehensive and couldn't help but have second thoughts.

She gritted her teeth, her fingers unconsciously clenching into a fist. But she clenched too tightly, and her sharp nails dug into her palm, causing a sharp pain. However, the pain only emboldened her, and she said, "Did I say something wrong? Tian Tian is my Su family's granddaughter. She's had enough of living at her uncle's house these past few years. I'm here today to take her back. Please send her back quickly."

"Send her back? Su Chen's mother, how can you be so shameless? You still have the nerve to ask us to send Tian Tian back?"

Auntie San's emotions exploded instantly. She opened her mouth and started cursing at Su Chen's mother: "You shameless old woman! You know what happened back then. Tian Tian was almost being raised to death by your son and his new wife. As her grandmother, did you do anything about it? Did you ask anything?"

If her uncle hadn't taken her back in time, it's questionable whether Tian Tian would even exist today. Now that we've finally raised her to five or six years old, capable of working, you want to reap the rewards?! You have such a big face! Even the kneading basin can't hold your face!

"So what if I opened my mouth?" Su Chen's mother was no pushover either, and she turned around and started arguing with her third aunt: "Tian Tian is my own granddaughter, her surname is Su! It's only right that I take her home!"

"What a load of rubbish! In the past five or six years, have you ever taken care of Tian Tian even for a single day? You haven't given her any money, you haven't even come to visit her, and now you're spouting this nonsense! You're all shameless!" Auntie San was furious.

No wonder she's the kind of person who could have a son like Su Chen; shamelessness is passed down from generation to generation!

“From now on, Tian Tian’s surname will be Cheng, not Su!” Cheng Bodong interrupted his third aunt, glanced at Su Chen’s mother expressionlessly, and said coldly, “Su Chen has already signed the promise to sever the father-daughter relationship. Tian Tian is now just my niece and has nothing to do with your Su family.”

All the ramblings her aunt said during their argument were meaningless; the household registration and the promise to sever ties were the key points. With those two things in place, no matter how much more nonsense Old Lady Su said, it wouldn't matter.
