Chapter 99 Welcome
"Now, you say we are a family again?"
Wu Youwei was so angry that he laughed at the shameless faces of these people from the Ma family.
"Your daughter poisoned my own daughter. She almost killed Xiaocao!"
That year, when Xiaocao's mother died, he was unable to return in time.
Later, when he asked for leave to go back and pick up Xiaocao, he swore in front of Xiaocao's mother's grave that he would be good to Xiaocao for the rest of his life.
but……
He didn't even fulfill this one vow. These days, the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt.
"We dare not keep such a vicious woman in our family compound."
"That's right. If she dared to poison a little kid like that today, she might poison us tomorrow. I'm scared of people like that any more than I can look at."
The people around were chattering non-stop.
Ma Yanni's father was too embarrassed to save his face and stood there with a flushed face.
Ma Yanni's brother yelled at the people around them, "What do you know? My sister said that there have been rats at home recently, so she bought rat poison. She put the poison near the stove. Who knew that little girl would eat grass? This is all a misunderstanding."
"Oh, who would believe that? Xiaocao is being taken care of by your sister. She's ten years old, but she's still not as tall as our Sanqiao, who's only six this year."
"They're just making up stories. Everyone in the compound knows that Xiaocao has never had enough to eat in their Wu family."
"Ma Yanni must have seen Xiaocao always eating grass out of hunger, so she deliberately put rat poison in the haystack next to the stove."
"That's what I think."
Seeing that the discussion was one-sided, Ma Yanni's mother was able to bend and stretch, and she pulled Wu Youwei aside.
"Youwei, we've been a family for so many years. Our Yannier hasn't done some things well, but Xiaocao is a daughter after all. She will marry into another family in the future. Tianbao is your son. A hundred years from now, you will still have to rely on Tianbao to take care of you in your old age. If you divorce our Yannier now, what will happen to Tianbao?"
As Ma Yanni's mother spoke, she began to cry.
"Tianbao has been making a fuss at home these past two days. He said that if you don't want his mother anymore, then he doesn't want you as his father either!"
Before Wu Youcai could say anything, a little old lady with gray hair came in hurriedly from outside.
"I don't agree with your divorce."
Wu Youcai turned his head to look, with a helpless look on his face.
"Mom, why are you here?"
The person who came was Wu Youcai's mother. On the day Ma Yanni returned to her parents' home, she called Old Lady Wu and told her the whole story with exaggeration.
Old Mrs. Wu exploded on the spot.
They want to divorce for a little girl and not give up the good grandson of the Wu family?
How is this possible?
Without saying a word, she asked someone to buy a ticket to the city that day.
Old Mrs. Wu hit Wu Youwei hard on the back with her cane.
"If I don't come, what are you going to do about this?"
"Ma Yanni is so vicious, she even poisoned Xiaocao. Of course I want to divorce her."
"divorce?"
Old Mrs. Wu hit Wu Youwei with the stick again.
"If you divorce her, what will happen to my sweet grandson?"
Old Mrs. Wu didn't like that little girl ever since she was born.
Now, because of her, the family is in turmoil. Wu Xiaocao is a jinx.
"I don't care. You must go and bring Yanni and Tianbao back today. Xiaocao will follow me back to my hometown. I will keep her by my side and raise her myself. You three should just live a good life. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Wu Xiaocao is already ten years old. In two or three years, when she grows up a little more beautiful, she can be found a husband.
When the time comes, just ask for a high bride price and marry the person off.
There is no need to make the Wu family restless because of such a troublemaker.
This is not the first day that Wu Youcai has known Old Lady Wu.
He knew very well what kind of person his own mother was.
As soon as the child was born, she threw him into the snow and froze him to death. In essence, Old Mrs. Wu and Ma Yanni are the same people.
Wu Youwei didn't even think about it, "I don't agree."
"You don't agree?"
Another blow from the stick came down, "I am your mother. I have the final say on this matter. There is nothing I can do even if you disagree."
Old Mrs. Wu threw the luggage in her hand to the ground.
"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, this matter, after all, is a private matter between our two families. Since it is a private matter, outsiders have no right to comment on it. As long as we have reached an agreement, that's it."
"Oh my, mother-in-law, you are the one who understands the big picture!"
When Ma Yanni's mother heard this, she was overjoyed.
"I'll go back and ask Yannier to bring Tianbao here to meet his grandmother."
"Hurry up and go, I miss our darling grandson so much!"
Once Old Lady Wu made the decision, the matter became a foregone conclusion.
Wu Youwei suddenly felt that his life had been quite miserable.
When it came to marrying Xiaocao's mother, he had no say, so Old Lady Wu called the army and informed him to go home and get married.
He resisted in his heart, but he had to obey and go home to get married.
Xiaocao's mother is a very gentle and sensible girl.
After a lot of effort, the two of them developed feelings for each other. Xiaocao's mother passed away after giving birth to Xiaocao.
Later, he married Ma Yanni, and the marriage registration was only filed because we were suitable.
Unexpectedly, this situation happened again.
Now, even if he wants a divorce, what he says doesn’t count.
It’s no wonder that he hasn’t been promoted in the army for so many years.
He is indeed a useless loser who can't stand up on his own.
Wu Xiaocao poked her head out of the door frame like a kitten, her big eyes looking at Wu Youwei timidly, her eyes still full of expectation.
When Wu Youwei met Wu Xiaocao's gaze, his inner guilt reached its peak.
Just now, he had vowed to Wu Xiaocao, "Dad will not abandon her."
How long has it been?
His promise is like a fart, it's gone once it's released, and even the smell can't get rid of it.
"Dad, you really don't want me anymore, right?"
Tears as big as beans fell from his eyes, making him look extremely pitiful.
Wu Youwei's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound.
As soon as Old Mrs. Wu saw Wu Xiaocao, the smile she had just put on suddenly fell.
"Why are you out here? You're a troublemaker. As long as you're around, there's no peace at home. Tomorrow, you'll come back to the countryside with me. From now on, you'll live with me."
Old Mrs. Wu was used to making the final decisions at home and had never said a polite word to Wu Xiaocao.
Jiang Cha couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she walked to Wu Xiaocao, stretched out her hand and put her arm around her thin shoulders.
When Wu Xiaocao saw Jiang Cha, her tears flowed even harder.
"Sister, am I annoying?"
The little girl doesn’t understand why everyone in the world dislikes her since she was born?
She just feels that she is redundant.
In front of everyone, she is redundant.
She had no place to stay, just like the Sanmao in the story of Sanmao's Wanderings that others told her.
Jiang Cha kissed Wu Xiaocao's cheek, "Who said that? Our Xiaocao is obviously the cutest girl in the world."
Wu Xiaocao hugged her waist and buried his head in her chest, crying.
Jiang Cha let her hang on his body, looked up and looked at Wu Youwei.
"Do you still hold on to your idea now?"
Wu Youwei's hands clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again.
"You are more suitable than me to be Xiaocao's family."
When Old Mrs. Wu heard this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Youwei, what do you mean?"
“That’s what it means.”
For the first time, Wu Youwei straightened his back and faced Old Lady Wu.
"I will submit an application for demobilization from the army and return to my hometown with Ma Yanni and Wu Tianbao. We will live a good life together as a family of four."
“You can’t switch careers.”
Wu Youwei is the pride of their Wu family.
Because she gave birth to a son who became an officer, Old Mrs. Wu could not be too polite when talking to people in the village.
If Wu Youwei retired and returned to the village, others would laugh at her.
"Mom, can't I be my own master for once?"
Wu Youwei shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's been over 30 years. Can't I make a decision for myself just once? Just this once."
In front of so many people, Old Mrs. Wu couldn't say that if she kept Wu Xiaocao at home for two years, she could get a generous betrothal gift in return.
The words rolled to his lips but he swallowed them back.
"You're grown up now, and you've grown up. I can't control you anymore. You can do whatever you want!"
She picked up the luggage on the ground, went into the house, and closed the door with a bang.
Wu Xiaocao was startled. Jiang Cha held her hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaocao. From now on, you and your sister are a family."
"Will this be very troublesome to my sister?"
"How could that be? We all hope that Xiaocao can become our family."
"Really?"
Wu Xiaocao poked her head out from Jiang Cha's arms, and Ye Surong rubbed her little head with heartache.
"Yes, we all welcome Xiaocao to become our family."
Wu Xiaocao turned her gaze to Wu Youwei again.
"dad……"
Her voice was so small and soft that it made Wu Youwei feel weak inside.
"Be good, from now on, just follow Sister Jiang Cha and live a good life. Daddy is really sorry for you."
He didn't look at Wu Xiaocao again, as if he had lost all his strength.
"Are you satisfied now?"
He said to the Ma family, "Let's go. I'll go with you to bring Yanni and Tianbao back."
In this way, everyone can be satisfied.
Jiang Cha took Wu Xiaocao back home.
In the past, she was afraid that she would dirty other people's homes and never dared to enter other people's homes.
Now, this place has become her home.
However, the little girl was still frightened and felt extremely insecure.
"Can I call you sister?"
Sister and Sister Cha Cha are different.
"Of course!"
Jiang Cha took her to the sofa and sat her down, then raised his hand and placed it on Wu Xiaocao's pulse.
Ye Surong was not idle either.
"I'll go find out if you have any clothes for her to wear. I'll give her a bath, a haircut, and even clip her nails. What have they done to such a good little girl?"
