Chapter 89 Buying Out Custody
"vicious?"
"About what happened today?"
Chen Baomei was very surprised. Why would Niu Niu ask this?
But then she thought, Niu Niu is kind-hearted after all, and it's her first time doing something like this, so it's normal for her to feel a little uncomfortable.
"Do you think you were too harsh on Shen Jiao?"
Niu Niu nodded.
"She dropped out of school. What if no school accepts her? When I was in Lougaotang, they wouldn't let me go to school. The teacher and the village head came to our house and lectured them, saying it's not okay for a child not to go to school."
She felt that Shen Jiao was too bullying, but she had made Shen Jiao drop out of school, and she felt uneasy again.
Chen Baomei smiled and said, "You can rest assured. Even if they drop out, they can transfer to another school."
Even if the old man and old woman of the Wu family did not help, Wu Wenwan and Shen Qin had their own ways.
If you can't get into a key primary school, you can still go to an ordinary school.
"Besides, even if no school accepts her, she deserves it. She's ridden on you, pooped and peed on you, and slapped you, and you're still letting her do this? What's your fault in this matter?"
"The money is in your schoolbag. If Chen Jiao hadn't been so greedy and bullied you, would she have fallen for it? You can't be too naive or too saintly, otherwise everyone will want to step on you. We are not the floor, why should we be willing to be stepped on by others?"
Niuniu asked doubtfully, "Grandma, what do you mean by 'a saint who can't make dumplings'?"
"You can't be as weak as a bun, who can be pinched by anyone, nor can you be too kind like a saint, who graciously turns his right cheek to someone who hits you on the left. Kind people are bullied, and kind horses are ridden. People should live with edges and corners, so that they won't be bullied."
If Chen Jiao hadn't bullied Niuniu, wouldn't these things have happened?
They didn't do anything. They just put some bait and Chen Jiao took the bite. How could it be considered as going too far?
Chen Baomei patted her little head.
"Don't overthink it."
After being enlightened by Chen Baomei, Niu Niu felt much better.
Shen Qin is the head of the family, so the transfer cannot be done secretly without telling him.
The school and Chen Baomei only gave her three days, and Wu Wenwan had to resolve the matter within these three days.
Even though she was reluctant, she had no choice but to call Shen Qin back.
Shen Qin only goes home on weekends now. He stays at the company when he has nothing to do. He enjoys the quietness.
When she got home, Wu Wenwan briefly told Chen Jiao what she had done, and then brought up the matter of transferring the two children to another school.
Shen Qin's forehead started throbbing when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Jiao with more and more disgust.
"Why transfer her to another school? Since her biological mother has come looking for her, let's just send her back."
"How can that be? You went to pick up Niuniu by yourself. You know what that place is like? If you let Jiaojiao go back, wouldn't that be harmful to her?"
Although she had resentment towards Shen Jiao in her heart, Wu Wenwan was still reluctant to send Shen Jiao away.
After all, we have raised each other for so many years, and the feelings will not disappear or be exhausted overnight.
When Shen Jiao heard that Shen Qin was going to send her away again, her face was filled with fear.
"Mother."
Wu Wenwan patted her on the shoulder and told her and Wu Hui to go back to the house. It was not good to quarrel in front of the children all the time.
Shen Qin laughed sarcastically, "You kept her, and that's how she harmed your own daughter. At such a young age, she actually blackmailed others. It shows that the old saying 'A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who digs holes' is very true. No matter how much education is given to people with inferior genes, the bad habits they carry in their bones cannot be changed."
"Don't mention that damn girl to me!"
Wu Wenwan feels upset when Niu Niu is mentioned.
Before she came back, their family was very harmonious, and Chen Jiao was very well-behaved and never caused trouble. It was because she came back and stimulated Chen Jiao that so many things happened.
"Jiaojiao is young, why do you have to judge her so prematurely?"
"Besides, I asked you to come back to discuss something, not to argue, so there's no need for you to be so aggressive. Your mom said you'd go to my workplace and make a scene if you didn't drop out of school. You know your mom's temper now. She's shameless and capable of anything. To be honest, I'm afraid of her. Let's come up with a plan as soon as possible and see which school is suitable for the children to transfer to."
All in all, Wu Wenwan just didn't want to give up Chen Jiao.
As they were husband and wife, Shen Qin also tried to persuade her in a kind way.
"What's the point of transferring Shen Jiao to another school? We can't do anything about Zhang Yuelan deliberately causing trouble. Shen Jiao is someone else's child, and now someone else has come to claim the child. You have no right to detain the child. If they are determined to take Shen Jiao away, even if they go to the police or the court, you won't do anything, right?
Wen Wan, I'm telling you the truth. Just one Chen Jiao has caused so much trouble? Don't you feel tired cleaning up her mess every day?
We raised her for over a decade, and we also provided her with a comfortable life for over a decade. If it weren't for her biological parents' manipulation, Niu Niu would be our beloved child. Her current life, and the motherly love you have for her, were all stolen from her by her parents.
You look down on Niu Niu, thinking she's petty and unpresentable, but is that what she wanted? If she hadn't been switched or stolen, would she have ended up like this? If everything had returned to how it was, if the child swap hadn't happened, the person you'd hate would have been Chen Jiao.
If we had set things right when we found Niuniu, our family wouldn't be in this situation today, and Mom wouldn't be so disappointed in us."
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret.
Wu Wenwan cannot be blamed solely for Niu Niu’s problem; he is also responsible.
If he hadn't been so indecisive, if he had been more resolute, he would have sent Chen Jiao away immediately, and there wouldn't have been so many problems later.
Shen Ming was right. None of these three children were close to him.
None of his biological children had his surname, but it was someone else's daughter who took his surname, Shen.
Even after saying so much, Wu Wenwan still needs to listen.
Unfortunately, Wu Wenwan's heart was set on Chen Jiao, and she couldn't bear to send Chen Jiao away no matter what.
"Zhang Yuelan came here just to ask for money. I gave her money and asked her to give me the custody of Jiaojiao."
If Chen Jiao gave her a thousand yuan, she would be well behaved for several days.
Since these unruly people from poor and remote areas value money more than anything else, she would use money to solve the problem and make them completely sever ties with Chen Jiao.
Shen Qin said angrily: "You are really hopeless!"
"I have no other choice. Should I send Jiaojiao back and watch her live in a pigsty? I simply can't do that."
Seeing that he couldn't change Wu Wenwan's mind, Shen Qin felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
He really has no idea what to do.
"If you really want to do this, then let's sign a marriage agreement. We'll each have half of the marital property, and our respective incomes will belong to each of us. I won't bear any of Chen Jiao's expenses, and as for Hui Hui's expenses, we'll each have half."
That couple was not a good person. Since Wu Wenwan was reluctant to part with Chen Jiao, how could they not take this opportunity to blackmail Wu Wenwan?
Even if you bargain, it's still a considerable expense.
Shen Qin no longer wanted to spend a penny on this fake daughter. Since Wu Wenwan was reluctant to do so, she would have to bear all the expenses alone and let her do it herself.
