Ruan Miaomiao noticed that Zhou Shuixian's gaze towards Wang Xiaobao was complicated, unlike the pure maternal love she showed towards Daya and Erya; it even contained a hint of hatred.
In an instant, an absurd idea popped into Ruan Miaomiao's mind.
She said to Zhou Jingyun, "Ayun, since your family is going to take Daya and Erya back to raise them together, why not take Xiaobao back with you as well? Anyway, your family can afford to raise him."
Zhou Jingyun didn't know why Ruan Miaomiao would say that, but as a self-taught henpecked husband, Zhou Jingyun still chimed in:
"Yes, anyway, my family doesn't have many sons. It's difficult to have a son. I have a lot of daughters but not many sons. It's just right that Xiao Bao is too young to remember anything. I'll take him back and raise him as my son. He'll take my surname, Zhou, and he'll take care of me in my old age. At least when I die, someone will be there to help me!"
These words shocked everyone in the courtyard.
They immediately remembered that Zhou Jingyun had injured himself there last winter, and the doctor in the county said it would affect his fertility.
Could it be that the Zhou family deliberately made a scene not just to take Zhou Shuixian back, but also to snatch Xiaobao back to carry on the Zhou family line for Zhou Jingyun?
In an instant, Li Chunmiao felt that she had discovered the truth.
She hurriedly picked up her long-awaited grandson and said to the Zhou family with a wary look, "No, this is my grandson. Your Zhou family can't bully people like this and steal someone else's grandson!"
Wang Daniu was furious: Did the Zhou family think he, Wang Daniu, was just a breeding stock?
She had a son through artificial insemination and now wants to take him back with her?
dream!
He glared at Zhou Shuixian and cursed, "Zhou Shuixian, you heartless woman! You've been married to me for four years and given birth to two worthless children, delaying my chance to have a son."
"We finally have a son, and you want to take him back to the Zhou family to carry on the family line for your brother? Let me tell you, you're dreaming!!"
"Hey, what's the rush? Aren't you the Widow Arima? Let her have eighteen for you, and when you die, your funeral will last for eighteen days!"
Ruan Miaomiao retorted sarcastically.
When Wang Daniu heard a woman's voice, he instinctively wanted to curse back. However, when he saw that it was Ruan Miaomiao, this devil, he immediately cowered and shrank his neck, saying fearfully, "Your Zhou family can't do this. If you really take my son, even if I report it to the police, I won't let you get away with it."
Zhou Shuixian didn't know why her younger brother and Ruan Zhiqing both said they wanted to bring Wang Xiaobao back to the Zhou family, but as a family member, she knew she couldn't hold them back.
As soon as Wang Daniu spoke, Zhou Shuixian sneered, "What do you mean by stealing a son? That's my son, whom I, Zhou Shuixian, carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could it be stolen?"
If we're really talking about robbery, then it's your Wang family who's robbing.
After all, getting pregnant was my business, giving birth was my business, my family took care of me during my postpartum period, and raising the child was also my business. Throughout the entire process, your Wang family acted as if you were dead!
Wang Daniu felt humiliated being scolded by his usually timid wife in front of so many people.
He said forcefully, "This, this, I'm the one who planted these seeds. Without me, you wouldn't have given birth to anything!"
Seeing that the time was right, Ruan Miaomiao immediately interrupted Wang Daniu, seemingly addressing Zhou Shuixian but actually speaking to everyone: "Forget it, Sister Shuixian, don't fight over it. Let them raise Xiaobao. Anyway, you are Xiaobao's biological mother. When the child grows up, you can say a few nice words, and the child will obediently follow you."
? ? ?
Ruan Miaomiao's shameless act of waiting to reap the rewards later completely stunned everyone in Wangjia Village: How could such a young and beautiful woman say such shameless things?
The key point is that the Zhou family members even nodded in agreement, thinking it made a lot of sense.
In an instant, the Wang family felt that they had truly met their match.
The thought of her grandson, whom she had raised with great difficulty, having to be filial to that despicable Zhou Shuixian in the future made Li Chunmiao feel like she was about to die of anger.
She shouted at Zhou Shuixian, "Why? There's no such logic in this world!"
"Zhou Shuixian, let me tell you, either you stay obediently in our Wang family and take good care of Xiaobao and serve your man, or you cut all ties with our Wang family and are never allowed to have anything to do with Xiaobao again!"
"On what grounds?"
Before Ruan Miaomiao and Zhou Jingyun could even speak up for her, Zhou Shuixian shouted back, "He's flesh and blood of mine, why shouldn't I associate with him?"
Not only will I maintain contact with him, but I'll also make him treat me with utmost filial piety. I'll tell him it's all because you, this old woman, are inhuman; you raised a son who stole from a widow, and you and your son even beat me together, driving me away and leaving him without a mother from a young age!
After yelling, Zhou Shuixian felt incredibly relieved: Oh, so this is what it feels like to be a shameless person!
No wonder the Wang family is so shameless; they're just keeping it all to themselves for their own enjoyment!
? ? ?
No one expected that Zhou Shuixian, who was always quiet, would say such a thing. The faces of the Wang family members turned green: according to Zhou Shuixian, if they raised Xiaobao, they would not only not be close to him, but might even become enemies in the future.
Moreover, Zhou Shuixian's words just now made everyone understand her choice: to go back to her parents' home!
Seeing that there was no turning back, and not one to coax a woman, Wang Daniu, with red eyes, roared at Zhou Shuixian, "Zhou Shuixian, they say even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, what will it take for you to stop trying to take Xiaobao from me?"
"Oh!"
Zhou Shuixian snorted coldly, looking at Wang Daniu with a mocking gaze: "I didn't sleep with you. Your favor is with Widow Ma. Go ask her for it."
"If you don't want me to fight you for Xiaobao, you'd better compensate me. Otherwise, am I, a perfectly healthy young woman, just supposed to suffer and bear your child for nothing after marrying into your family?"
"You, you, you..."
Li Chunmiao never expected Zhou Shuixian to ask her for compensation; her withered chin almost fell off.
Not to mention Li Chunmiao, no one expected this.
Ruan Miaomiao, on the other hand, felt quite appreciative after hearing Zhou Shuixian's words: "Hmm, she's teachable."
From the beginning, she sensed that Zhou Shuixian's attitude towards Wang Xiaobao was quite complicated, and guessed that Zhou Shuixian probably didn't like this son very much.
Her suggestion to take Wang Xiaobao back was merely an excuse to control Wang Daniu's family.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuixian was quite clever; she actually figured out what she meant and not only acted convincingly, but also directly asked for compensation.
This woman is destined for great things!
"What do you mean, 'me'?"
With her family backing her up, Zhou Shuixian was full of confidence and directly confronted them: "I, Zhou Shuixian, am a respectable and innocent girl from a respectable family. I am not like Widow Ma, a woman who is taken advantage of. How can I let your Wang family take advantage of me and give birth to a son for free?"
Wang Daniu, you were so good at cheating on people, why are you mute now?
I'm making this clear: either give me compensation, or give me my son!
