"Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, or you'll regret it."
"I am willing to take care of them because I am good friends with their mother, and the two children have spent two years with me. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the truth."
That's what she said, but something strange was going on in her heart.
She would love for these two children to stay with her; she would be very willing.
She will treat them like her own daughters.
Unfortunately, they have a biological father, which alone makes it impossible.
As expected of a couple, Xie Daliang felt the same way when his wife said she wanted to take the child home.
He's taking two daughters at once. Is it really possible for him to have such a lucky break?
He will never have children in his life, so adoption is the only option. It doesn't matter who he adopts, but it's better to adopt someone he knows well.
Parents intended for them to adopt their eldest brother's child, but based on Xie Dabao's behavior of scolding his wife, they would never adopt Xie Dabao.
Men earn money to support their wives and children for the sake of family harmony, not to support a two-faced troublemaker.
After the weather clears up, he'll send the three of them back to the countryside. If he can't raise these two children, he'll find a sweet little girl for his wife. He doesn't want a naughty boy.
Unbeknownst to them, a glimmer of hope also flickered in Xu Lan's young heart.
Aunt Xie was very kind to her and her sister. Every time Uncle Xie received his allowance and cooked something delicious at home, he would give them a share.
Although her mother reciprocated, she was human and knew who was truly sincere towards her.
This stepmother doesn't even pretend to be nice in front of others; she's utterly heartless.
Her father, upon hearing her words, sent them back to the countryside. She would never forget the hardships she endured there.
If she could choose, she would prefer to be surnamed Xie, and she believed her sister would be willing too.
She moved closer to Xie Guihua, seeking the warmth closest to her mother.
"Pshaw, only someone who can't have children would want a money-losing child. If you're really kind, fine, when Old Xu comes back, I'll personally talk to him and give you both the kids to raise. Don't come up with another story then..."
"Zhou Miao, that's enough! How can you say such things in front of a child? Are you even human?"
Xie Guihua was genuinely angry.
Can two children really grow up happily in such a family?
With a stepmother comes a stepfather, and the biological father has already favored the stepmother; the two children's future lives will likely be more bitter than bitter herbs.
