Although he likes himself very much, Da Bao knows that it's mainly because of his father.

Previously, the father of this family did not intend to get married, so they regarded themselves as the only child of the first wife.

He spoils himself quite a bit, but now Da Bao feels that he will become the superfluous one in the future.

Tears streamed down her face.

She was so small, curled up under the window, quietly listening to the conversation between the two people inside.

Grandma Wang looked at her son's determined gaze and shook her head.

"Why?

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your eldest child, who is already so old.

When Da Bao grew up and was about to get married, other families only had the father-in-law.

If a woman doesn't even have a mother-in-law, people will definitely want to marry her daughter into the family. But if she doesn't even have a mother-in-law to help take care of the child, how miserable will that girl be?

Besides, you're a man and you're not very good at taking care of Da Bao. Wouldn't it be better to find a girl to do the laundry and cleaning for you two?

Wang the Cripple felt uneasy listening to this.

He also wanted to find a mother who could love and care for his eldest child.

But he was even more afraid of finding a wife like the one Wang Tie found at the village entrance, who would constantly beat and scold their two children.

After his wife became pregnant, even Wang Tie himself became completely biased towards her.

There's a saying that goes, "With a stepmother comes a stepfather."

Wang the Cripple didn't consider himself that kind of person, but he was also afraid that he might unintentionally favor his own child.

Since I've decided to adopt Da Bao, he's my only child, and I will never let him suffer any injustice.

"Mother, let it go, don't ruin that good girl's life."

I am already a cripple, and I also have a child to support.

Even if a high dowry is given, the girl will still feel uncomfortable.

The parents are selling their daughter, but we can't actually accept it.

Moreover, I don't want Da Bao to be neglected after other people come in.

After all, Da Bao isn't someone else's biological child, so why should they treat Da Bao well?

I'll spend my whole life with Da Bao. I can tell he's a good kid.

When I get old, that child will surely take care of me.

"Mother, please don't worry about these things."

When Grandma Wang heard that her son actually had such thoughts, she quickly shook her head.

The reason we couldn't find a wife for our eldest son in the past was mainly because he was lame.

With no money at home, which family in the surrounding area would be willing to jump into this fire pit?

But things are different now. Now everyone in the family can earn some money, so we naturally have to get the wedding done beforehand.

Otherwise, when people in the surrounding villages have better roads in the future, they will look down on the leader again.

Moreover, the eldest son is already so old; if he waits another two years, even fewer people will be willing to take him on.

Old Mrs. Wang kept trying to persuade him, but Wang the Cripple wouldn't budge no matter what.

"Mother, I swore an oath that I would spend my whole life taking care of Da Bao."

"I'm absolutely not going to look for anyone else, so don't try to persuade me."

Seeing that her son wouldn't listen to her, Old Lady Wang finally sighed.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I'm already quite old.

Children grow up and have their own ideas; if they don't want to listen, then so be it.

Da Bao is indeed quite good; after all, the eldest son has an heir.

Although the old lady was trying to comfort herself, she knew all too well that she treated Da Bao somewhat differently.

In the past two years, he has outwardly treated Da Bao and his other grandsons equally, but Da Bao is ultimately not his own grandson.

It's like the meat and vegetables we bring back; we always give the best meat to our beloved grandchildren.

On the surface, she treats Da Bao the same as everyone else, but there are still some differences, which others can more or less understand.

Wang the Cripple naturally had no objections; he felt that his mother could accept someone who was not related to him by blood.

And to be able to maintain a semblance of peace is already quite an achievement.

The other three wives didn't have much of a problem with Da Bao either.

Except for the fourth child, all the other families have several children, and they all understand this.

When we get old and can't take it anymore...

When the family is dividing their assets, the property will mainly go to them.

Da Bao outside the window was crying one minute and laughing the next.

But she secretly resolved in her heart that she would definitely take good care of her crippled father in the future.

At this moment, Da Bao let go of many of his previous obsessions.

Wang the Cripple pushed open the door and came out just in time to see Da Bao, whose eyes were red and swollen, squatting under the window.

Judging from Da Bao's appearance, it was clear that he had heard the entire conversation inside.

He waved to Da Bao.

Da Bao, as if caught eavesdropping, blushed instantly and walked towards Wang the Cripple with his head down.

Wang the Cripple led Da Bao into his room, and then looked at Da Bao carefully.

"Dabao, do you know why your father named you this?"

Da Bao nodded.

Wang the Cripple continued, "When I decided to adopt you as my son, I knew you would be my only treasure."

Dad's only wish in this life is to protect you and live a good life, so don't feel burdened.

From now on, will you treat Dad as your own father?

Wherever your father is, that's your home. This is your father's home, and it's also your home.

Don't think you're any different from the other sons! Got it?

Da Bao nodded, his eyes red.

"Dad, Da Bao knows."

But Da Bao hopes that his father can find a wife so that they can live a good life together in the future.

Even when his aunt had a younger brother or sister, Da Bao would help take care of them.

Da Bao is sensible and obedient; he definitely won't upset anyone.

Wang the Cripple looked at Da Bao, who was so sensible, and rubbed his head.

"Father's reluctance is not because of Da Bao. Father is a cripple, and he is so old that he has no money."

Father doesn't want to be a burden to good family girls, understand?

That's why your father wants to stay by your side and live a good life.

"Sweetie, wash your hands, dinner's ready soon."

Wang the Cripple led Da Bao to the backyard to wash his hands.

The family enjoyed a delicious dinner together.

I slept without a dream and waited until the next day.

The genius was just beginning to emerge.

Da Bao was so excited all night that he barely slept.

The next morning, looking at the sky outside, I thought about going to the back mountain to pick some mushrooms.

Now, Da Bao has become much more cheerful and is no longer as quiet and withdrawn as before.

He suddenly tripped and fell while going down the mountain.

It rolled down into the ravine with a gurgling sound, and its head accidentally hit a rock.

Da Bao was knocked unconscious.

Early in the morning, everyone got up very early. When Grandma Wang saw that Da Bao was not at home, she thought he must have gone to the back mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Grandma Wang saw that dinner was ready at home, but Da Bao hadn't returned yet, so she went to the back mountain.

Just as Old Lady Wang stepped out the door, a large group of men in black arrived.

These people immediately took out their knives and herded all the villagers to the open space at the village entrance.

Did you find a woman here two years ago?

The leader of the men in black looked at the villagers who were trembling with fear.
