Chapter 43: The Battle for the Baby
"Tsk, even if you give me the silver, I still have to want it." Luo Qiuyue said calmly, "It was clearly written in the letter of severance that day that your family accepted the silver and severed all ties with Xiaojiu.
I have kept the letter of severance well. Even if you report it to the emperor, you won't be able to make any sense."
Everyone also blamed Mrs. Huo.
"Mrs. Huo, once you've spoken, it's too late to regret it now!"
"That's right. The Ye family treats Xiaojiu like the apple of their eye. How could they possibly let you take her back?"
Old Mrs. Huo sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "I know, I was wrong! You guys deserve to scold me... I can only blame myself for being so foolish that day that I gave my own granddaughter away. Ever since then, I've regretted it every day!"
She knew in her heart that it would not work to confront the Ye family head-on, and showing weakness would give her a greater chance of cheating.
"I'm old now, and I don't know how many days I can live. Before I die, I don't want anything else but to let Yaya recognize her ancestors and return to her roots. Otherwise, I will die with regrets!
"Mother Yan Ping, please have mercy on me. I'm already half buried in the earth. I did something wrong before and God has punished me! Yaya is my son's blood. I can't let her wander around outside. Please give her back to me, okay? I promise that I will worship her, love and protect her, and won't let her suffer any grievances!"
Yunniang rushed out of the house in anger, "Don't act so pretentiously to gain sympathy. Xiaojiu is a person, not an object. You can't just throw her away or take her back whenever you want! There is no medicine for regret in the world. You have committed the sins yourself, so you should bear the consequences yourself! Xiaojiu belongs to the Ye family, don't be delusional!"
Old Mrs. Huo wept loudly, beating her chest and stamping her feet. "I just want to make amends! What do I have to do for you to return Yaya to me?"
"No matter what you do, Xiaojiu will never give it to you." Luo Qiuyue stared at her and said word by word, "What you did today was just pulling up your eyebrows and fooling your eyes, deceiving yourself and others.
"I know everything. You just think Xiaojiu has made it big now, so you're asking for her with such a flattering attitude. If she were still the same as before, you probably wouldn't even bother to look at her. Stop acting all day long. Everyone's tired of watching you. Get out of here!"
"Luo, how can you think so badly of me? If you don't believe me, I can swear in front of the Snake God!"
Recently everyone has been saying that the snake god on Yaya’s body has disappeared. The snake must have left. What is she afraid of!
"Mother Yan Ping, how can you be so cruel as to separate our Huo family? If you want a granddaughter, just let your daughter-in-law give birth to one. You can't take my granddaughter away! Yaya, she is mine!"
Luo Qiuyue didn't want to say a word anymore.
After watching the excitement for a while, the village head came out and said, "Old Huo, Xiaojiu is now a member of the Ye family. This is a fact set in stone. It's useless for you to make trouble. Don't make fun of us. Danian, help your mother go back and rest!"
Huo Danian: "Go back, mother."
Old Mrs. Huo pushed him away and cried out heartbreakingly, "Yaya, I'm your dear grandma! Grandma misses you! Come out and see grandma!"
Ye Yanlan, unwilling to be lonely, intervened, "Yaya, I'm your mother, come out and give me a hug! I'll take you home!"
With a creak, the door opened.
Everyone looked over at the same time and saw a pink and delicate little girl standing in front of the door.
The little baby was wearing a pink dress, which made her skin look even whiter and more rosy. Her black hair was combed into two cute little buns, standing above her ears like two little buns, one on the left and one on the right. Her little face was chubby, and two dimples appeared when she smiled.
What a beautiful little baby! The Ye family raised him so well!
Everyone secretly admired in their hearts.
"Yaya!" Old Mrs. Huo jumped up excitedly. "Yaya, did you hear Grandma calling you? Did you come to see Grandma? Come here, let Grandma hug you!"
Mrs. Huo clearly remembered that the girl had once asked her for a hug, but she had slapped her away. This meant that the girl wanted to be intimate with her, so she coaxed the girl over now!
Little Tuanzi looked hesitantly at Old Lady Huo, then at Luo Qiuyue, as if he couldn't figure out which one was the real grandma.
"Xiaojiu..."
Luo Qiuyue looked at the little girl apologetically. She really didn't want her to experience the evil of human nature at such a young age.
"Yaya, I am your real grandma! That person is not your grandma, she is fake, you should go home with your grandma!" Old Mrs. Huo's voice changed with excitement.
The little baby's eyes shifted away from Luo Qiuyue's face, and he lifted his short legs and walked on, passing Yunniang, passing Luo Qiuyue...
Finally, he stopped about ten steps away from Old Mrs. Huo.
Her big watery eyes stared at Old Mrs. Huo without blinking.
Old Mrs. Huo smiled. "Look, this is the blood relationship that can't be taken away, and no one can disrupt it! My granddaughter has me in her heart! Yaya, come home with grandma! Grandma will love you, and our whole family will love you!"
Little Dumpling looked very hesitant and looked back at Luo Qiuyue and Yunniang.
Finally, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and then her little mouth pouted and she began to cry in grievance.
Old Mrs. Huo's heart was in her throat: "Ya Ya, did the Ye family wrong you? Tell grandma, and she will definitely take care of it for you!"
The little girl raised her big, wet eyes and pointed her little hand at the crowd, "Bad pervert, be careful!"
Huo Xiaohu pointed at himself with wide eyes, "Me? Why are you pointing at me?"
Old Mrs. Huo understood instantly.
Xiaohu has bullied Yaya a lot before, and Yaya is worried that she will be bullied by Xiaohu again when she returns home!
I must make this girl happy today no matter what, so that I can have a chance to take her back.
"Xiao Hu, come here!" Old Mrs. Huo said seriously.
Huo Xiaohu came over reluctantly, "What are you doing, grandma?"
"Hurry up and apologize to Yaya!"
"Apologize to her? For what?!"
Huo Xiaohu was so angry that his face turned red. He had suffered such a great loss in the snake egg incident before, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. How could he possibly apologize to her now!
"Oh!" The little dumpling shook his head in disappointment and was about to walk back.
Old Mrs. Huo got anxious and slapped Huo Xiaohu on the face. "Apologize if I ask you to! How dare you disobey grandma?"
Huo Xiaohu covered his face and cried like a pig, "You actually hit me! You're not my grandma. My grandma wouldn't bear to hit me! You must be fake!"
Old Mrs. Huo felt heartbroken and almost couldn't help but hug Huo Xiaohu to comfort him.
But seeing the little baby frowning and staring at him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and slap Huo Xiaohu again.
"You bastard! You bullied Yaya before, so what if I asked you to apologize? If you don't apologize today, I will beat you until you apologize!"
"Mom, Xiaohu is still young!" Huo Danian and Yao were heartbroken.
Old Mrs. Huo acted stern and impartial. "No one's pleading will help today! Xiaohu is my grandson, and Yaya is my granddaughter. We are both brothers. Xiaohu bullied Yaya before, and today I will seek justice for her! Xiaohu, if you don't apologize, don't call me grandma anymore!"
Huo Xiaohu was a spoiled child, how could he have suffered such an injustice? He cried as if the sky had fallen, shaking Mrs. Huo's arm in disbelief.
"Grandma, am I not your sweetheart? Didn't you say you loved Xiaohu the most? Do you have to hurt my heart for this little loser? I am your only grandson!"
