Chapter 433: Get the Child Back
Xu Ruoxue took a sip of coffee leisurely and replied with a smile: "Didn't you ask me to give it away? Mom, don't worry, the family I found is very well-off. They just need a girl, and they will definitely treat the child very well."
"Bullshit, Xu Ruoxue, you have no conscience. This is your own niece, and you have the heart to give her away. Is your heart made of iron..." Xu's mother said on the other end of the phone.
Xu Ruoxue scratched her ears and replied, "Mom, what's the point of saying so much? The child has gone to someone else's home. In fact, you should be happy. The child is better off with that family than with us."
"I'm not happy at all, Xu Ruoxue, you go and get the child back for me, or I'll call the police," after much thought, Xu's mother could only threaten her second daughter by calling the police.
"Why? I've given her away. Her whole family is going abroad soon. Do you think I've found a good family for my niece? Mom, please stop being unreasonable. Besides, calling the police is useless. You have no evidence, and I won't admit it. Do you really want to send her to jail?"
Xu Ruoxue thought that her position in her mother's heart should be higher than that of her little niece, right?
"Oh, you damn girl, how can you be so cruel? Your little sister comes back and asks you for the child, what are you going to do?"
"What do I do? You were the ones who abandoned the child at my house, and it was you, mom, who told me to give the child away. Well, now it's been given away. There's nothing more to say. I'm hanging up first." Xu Ruoxue hung up the phone before her mother could answer.
Jiang Xinbai, who was standing by, glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxue, won't anything happen if you lie to your mother like this? What if she really calls the police?"
Xu Ruoxue smiled and said, "Mom, no, my mom would never tell anyone about our ugly family background. She would also consider calling the police as a family shame."
"Well, what if she really thinks you gave the child away and no longer cares about him? Don't shoot yourself in the foot."
Xu Ruoxue touched her phone and thought for a while, then replied, "That's fine. I'll call my eldest brother in a few days anyway. But I guess my mother might be ready to call my eldest brother right now."
As expected, after Xu's mother hung up the phone, she became even more anxious and paced around the house. She was really tormented.
"No, we can't just let this go. Call the eldest brother and ask him to go and get the child back." Mother Xu said so and did so.
Brother Xu was called home by his mother. He thought his mother was feeling unwell, but when he entered the house, he saw his mother in high spirits. He asked in confusion, "Mom, are you feeling well? Why were you speaking so urgently on the phone? I almost called an ambulance."
"Bah, bah, I'm fine. Didn't I tell you to come over quickly? Why did you take so long?" Mother Xu complained after looking at the clock on the wall.
"Oh, Mom, didn't I ask for leave from my boss? This is the soonest possible time. What's wrong? You sounded so anxious on the phone, I thought something was wrong." Brother Xu looked puzzled. He felt that his mother was fine and there was nothing wrong with her!
Mother Xu pulled her eldest son to sit on the sofa, organized her words a little, and then whispered: "Ruoming, um, actually your father and I came back secretly without telling your second sister."
"Come back secretly? What does that mean?" Xu Ruoming didn't quite understand.
"Oh, we left the child at your second sister's house and then came back. Now she says she gave the child away. What do you think we should do?" Mother Xu pulled her eldest son with a worried look on her face.
"No, Mom, wait, what child? Where did you get the child?" Xu Ruoming became more and more confused. How come the child was born? If he didn't know that his mother was infertile, he would really suspect that the old couple gave him another brother or sister.
Xu's mother was stumped by the question and wanted to evade the question, but that was obviously impossible, after all, she still wanted her eldest son to take the child back.
So she explained in a low voice: "Hey, isn't this that damn girl Xiao Shuang? She lived with someone before getting married and had a child. She called me and your dad over, and then she abandoned the child and ran away."
"What? Xiaoshuang's child? No, she's already grown up, and she wants to have a child? Mom, it's all because of you and dad. She's getting more and more outrageous."
Xu Ruoming was so angry that he stood up from the sofa and walked around the living room.
"Speak softly, speak softly, don't let anyone hear you, it's so embarrassing." Xu's mother waved her hands a few times in the air.
Xu Ruoming frowned and asked, "Where is Xiao Shuang? Where did she run off to? Doesn't her father care about her anymore?"
"Oh, Xiaoshuang went abroad with her friend, saying she wanted to make a lot of money. As for the father of the child, Xiaoshuang didn't say anything. This girl, this is what made me angry."
Xu's mother loves her youngest daughter the most, but it is this youngest daughter who is the least ambitious. She is not used to studying and now she has a child out of wedlock. It is really infuriating.
"So you guys are just going to give the child to Xiaoxue?" Xu Ruoming finally understood. This was an easy way to bully his second sister.
Xu's mother didn't agree with this. She frowned and replied, "How can we blame her? We originally wanted to leave the child with her and give her 800 yuan a month, but she didn't want to. She said she was pregnant and didn't want to raise someone else's child. Otherwise, your father and I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Well, it's all Xiaoxue's fault. It would be strange if she was willing." Xu Ruoming now remembered the reason why his second sister called after his parents came back.
"Why don't you blame her? You blame you guys."
"Hey, why are you blaming us? I asked Xiaoshuang to give birth to this child? Mom, you have to be reasonable."
"Why am I being unreasonable? Let me ask you, did you always say you wanted a daughter? But when we asked you if you wanted to adopt a girl, you were unwilling to do so. Otherwise, how could I have set my sights on Xiaoxue?"
"Oh, it's all our fault? Okay, let's stop talking about it. Is the child still with Xiaoxue?"
"No, she said she gave it away. Go and get it back from him."
Xu Ruoming rolled his eyes, "Why? Who will take care of me if I come back?"
Mother Xu glanced at her eldest son and whispered, "We can't raise him, and it's hard to answer if you ask. You should raise him!"
