Sheng was a little hesitant.
"But we can still have children."
"Don't you want to try for another child?"
Maybe the fourth one is the son.
Wang Xiaocui thought to herself, "The fourth son is indeed my son, but he's not your son."
But that doesn't matter, as long as it's her son.
So she brainwashed Sheng Shi.
“Actually, it’s fine to adopt him. He’s still young, and he’ll only recognize us as his parents in the future.”
"Besides, we haven't had any luck for so long, maybe we won't be able to have a baby."
“I think it’s good to have one, so I won’t have to send money back to my mother’s family to subsidize my nephew in the future.”
"From now on, we'll focus on raising this son, and the money will come from our family's resources. What do you think?"
These words touched Sheng Shizhen.
He was still somewhat bothered by Wang Xiaocui's constant financial support for her family.
They only tolerated it because the couple still had to make a living.
He was quite happy that Wang Xiaocui was now willing to give up subsidizing her family and spend the money at home.
He reluctantly agreed, "Alright, bring the child back so I can see him."
Wang Xiaocui immediately went to hug him.
The child was well-fed and chubby, and looked quite adorable.
Sheng Shi actually liked it quite a bit after seeing it.
But it's strange, "How could someone lose such a chubby, fair-skinned son?"
You know how difficult it is to have a son, and yet they just say they don't want him anymore.
Sheng Jinjin told a lie, "That family had twenty sons, and they couldn't afford to raise them anymore, so they abandoned them."
“If we had twenty sons, we wouldn’t care.”
Sheng Shi was rather naive and believed it again.
"This child is pitiful, let's take him home and show him to his parents."
Wang Xiaocui was pleased with herself and went back to the factory with him.
Sheng Shizai's parents were a little puzzled when they saw that they had brought home a child.
Wang Xiaocui told them that she wanted to bring a child back so that the Sheng family could have an heir.
The elderly couple felt that something was wrong.
Although the child was adopted, it always felt like Wang Xiaocui gave birth to him.
After all, a woman's condition is always different after giving birth.
Judging from how close the child is to Wang Xiaocui, it seems more like he was born to Wang Xiaocui.
The elderly couple felt that something was wrong.
However, they didn't say it aloud, only secretly telling Sheng Shi when Wang Xiaocui went out.
“This child’s origin is a bit strange. I always feel that Wang Xiaocui gave birth to him outside of marriage.”
"Look at her buttocks, they're obviously wide, like she just gave birth."
"When you smell her again, there's always a milky scent."
It's obvious that she was recently weaned.
Although Sheng Shi is simple-minded, he is not stupid.
After hearing what her parents said, she also began to have doubts.
So he secretly observed.
One time, he came home early from get off work and instead of knocking on the door, he secretly pressed his ear against the door to listen.
Inside the house, Wang Xiaocui was bathing her child, saying proudly, "Son is definitely better! He's so chubby and strong. Those girls are so much better."
After saying that, she hugged the child and kissed him.
"As expected of my offspring, he takes after me; he's incredibly strong."
Sheng Shi's pupils widened upon hearing this.
But he didn't go in to question them immediately, afraid that he might have misheard.
I want to confirm it several times.
On several occasions during meals, Wang Xiaocui would say to the maids, "This is your own brother. When you grow up, you must help him buy a house and a car."
"Only if you treat your brother well will he be able to support you in the future."
"Otherwise, when you get married, without your maternal brothers to support you, your in-laws will bully you."
If the girls lived in the countryside, they might believe this.
But after coming to the big city and broadening his horizons, he realized that Wang Xiaocui's words were wrong.
He countered, "If you want others to respect you, you have to be self-reliant and strong."
Relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, and relying on people will lead to their departure; it's better to rely on yourself.
These were the words Sheng Yueqing said to them, and they all remembered them.
I also think that there's some truth to that.
Both parents favored sons over daughters. Although the father did not abandon them, he loved his son more deep down.
As for the mother, she was even more outrageous, treating the children she adopted from outside better than her own.
You can't count on a mother like that, let alone a brother who isn't related to you by blood.
Therefore, what they need to do is rely on themselves, not on others.
Wang Xiaocui was displeased with their rebuttal.
"What's the point of all your studying? What do you mean by not relying on your younger brother?"
"If you don't rely on your younger brother, what will you rely on?"
“If you are bullied by your husband’s family in the future, and your younger brother doesn’t come to your door to help you seek justice, you will be bullied to death. You won’t know what you’re learning all day long.”
"It would be better to come back sooner to earn money to support my younger brother, instead of wasting the money spent on his education."
The three daughters were very indignant.
“We’re paying for our education with Dad’s money, not yours.”
Since Wang Xiaocui had never treated them well, the three maids naturally weren't close to her.
Given that they were both around ten years old and in the prime of their rebellious years, they naturally weren't afraid of Wang Xiaocui.
Wang Xiaocui got angry when she saw them talking back.
He slammed his fist on the table in anger, "Have you gone too far? I gave birth to you and raised you? And this is how you treat me? Where is your filial piety?"
"They've all kept it to themselves!"
The three girls retorted, "You gave birth to us, but you didn't raise us."
"If we are to be filial, we should be filial to the people who raised us."
"Besides, it's not like we begged you to give birth to us; it was your own choice."
"We don't even want to be born in your belly."
