Wu Yuejiang politely stepped in front of his wife and smiled as he explained to Chen Suwen and the other leaders, "Leaders, my wife just has a bit of a temper, but she really doesn't mean any harm."
He then said gently to Zhao Lexin, "Lexin, didn't Uncle Wu tell you that your aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart? She's very good to you, isn't she?"
"Oh yes, yes, although Auntie beats and scolds you, although Auntie curses your deceased parents in front of you, although Auntie blames your mother for seducing someone else's husband, although Auntie makes all sorts of excuses to beat you... but Auntie's heart is good."
Chen Suwen, standing to the side, spoke sarcastically, staring directly into Wu Yuejiang's eyes, "Comrade Wu Yuejiang, you really have a thick skin when you say that."
"Actually, I have serious doubts. If you and Comrade Zhao Yixiu are really good brothers, why does your wife always scold Comrade Zhao Yixiu's wife?"
"Your wife suspects you of having an affair, yet you've become best friends with that woman's husband?"
"Wow, what kind of incredible sucker is Zhao Yixiu? Even after they're dead, you're still going to ruin them for him?"
"Don't you know how many rumors your wife has spread about herself, taking advantage of the fact that Comrade Chen Qixue is dead and can't be refuted?"
"Don't tell me you don't know. You're Pang Zijuan's husband. If you don't know what she does or says, you're really useless," Chen Suwen said coldly.
Wu Yuejiang's gentle expression froze for a moment, and his gaze toward Chen Suwen turned fierce and cold.
This woman is being incredibly unreasonable.
Chen Suwen looked at the leaders and said, "Leaders, we definitely can't let them support Zhao Lexin anymore."
"It's only been a month, and little Zhao Lexin has gone from being a well-behaved, smart, and sensible child who is loved by her parents to a bad child who is unpredictable, jealous, and even steals money."
"If the Wu family continues to raise her, won't she be turned into a 'dangerous element that endangers society'? Won't she be turned into a 'repeated bad guy'?"
"For the sake of Comrade Zhao Yixiu and Comrade Chen Qixue in heaven, and for the physical and mental health of Comrade Zhao Lexin, she really cannot stay in the Wu family any longer."
“Our family is definitely the best choice to adopt her family. With Lao Zhou’s salary, as well as the salaries of our eldest and third sons and the second son’s side, we are not worried about not being able to support this little girl.”
"Besides, with the money her parents left her, raising her wouldn't be a difficult task."
Seeing that Chen Suwen was about to take Zhao Lexin away, Wu Yuejiang quickly spoke up to stop her, "Aunt Chen, what you said is biased."
"You said my family isn't suitable to adopt Lexin, so how come your family is the best candidate?"
"Who doesn't know that the atmosphere in your family is... a little tense?" Wu Yuejiang glanced at Zhao Lexin. "Lexin is sensitive after losing her parents. Letting her come to your house to watch over you... to teach your daughter-in-law will hurt her young mind."
Chen Suwen snorted coldly, "Are you saying I'm a wicked mother-in-law?"
"Yes, I am the notorious wicked mother-in-law in this area, but I am just a wicked mother-in-law."
“I’m not a complaining wife who’s always throwing tantrums at her husband and suspecting him of having affairs.”
"Furthermore, aren't all of my three sons and two daughters good children? Tell me, aren't all of my children good children?"
"Why can't I raise children?"
Although the original owner had a reputation as a wicked mother-in-law, she only disliked her daughter-in-law; she was much better at raising her own children.
Although she has a strong desire to control her children, which of her children is not outstanding?
Even though she schemed to marry the eldest daughter of a wealthy and powerful family, she herself was a beautiful and talented young woman.
Who dares to say that Chen Suwen couldn't raise children well?
Then don't blame her for "persuading people with reason".
The factory director was persuaded by Chen Suwen.
It is obvious that although Chen Suwen was a notorious wicked mother-in-law, the children she raised were indeed very outstanding.
She managed to ensure that none of her children went to the countryside. All three of her sons had jobs, her eldest daughter was married and didn't go to the countryside, and her youngest daughter was too young to go.
Such a situation is rare, even in Guangzhou and across the entire country.
Therefore, compared to Wu Yuejiang's family, Chen Suwen's family is indeed more suitable to adopt Zhao Lexin.
"Comrade Zhao Lexin, tell me yourself, who do you want to live with?" the factory director said, letting Zhao Lexin choose for herself.
"Should we choose Grandma Chen over here, or Uncle Wu over here?" The factory manager looked at Zhao Lexin and asked her seriously.
Zhao Lexin had been silent from the beginning, and Chen Suwen's embrace gave her a warm and reassuring feeling.
She has lacked a sense of security since her parents passed away.
People around her were gossiping, but not many knew about the pension, so adopting her was a difficult matter, and many people didn't want to take her in.
Few people, whether distant relatives or her parents' friends, were willing to adopt her, and they didn't care what they said in front of her.
The clever girl understood what the adults meant.
When Uncle Wu approached her and said he wanted to take her home and let her live with his family, she was actually full of anticipation.
Uncle Wu smiled gently and said that he has an older sister and two lively younger brothers, which she was really looking forward to.
She was her parents' only child, and sometimes she envied other families that had brothers and sisters.
Because many older brothers and sisters will stand up to protect their younger siblings when they are bullied.
Zhao Lexin was very envious.
She had been bullied before, but she had no older brothers or sisters to protect her, and she had no younger brothers or sisters either. Sometimes she was very envious.
