☆, Chapter 164 Gender
However, Qu Gang and Liu Xiu were always patient and good-tempered, so they didn't think much of it and went to the kitchen to boil water and cook.
Banxia stood on the ground and stared at Yuyu for a long time.
The reason why he is called Yu Yu is because they spent too little time together in the previous life, and Banxia doesn't know what the child's full name is.
All I know is that he comes from an orphanage and is the "sister" brought back by his parents.
My mother had a difficult labor and injured her body when she gave birth to her. She never got pregnant again after that. The old people said that she could not have another child.
At that time, people believed that the more children a family had, the better off they would be. If one of them had a promising future, it would not be in vain. Since both parents liked children, they went to the orphanage in the town to adopt one.
According to my grandfather, we should adopt a young boy so that he can become the pillar of the family when he grows up.
But his mother didn't like his extreme ideas, and was afraid that if they really adopted a boy, Banxia would be wronged, so she decided to adopt a girl.
As a result, as soon as the two arrived at the orphanage, they fell in love with a new child.
The child was found on the street in the town, collapsed on the roadside. His parents could not be found and he refused to speak when asked. Someone rescued him and sent him directly to an orphanage.
The people in the orphanage mistook the boy for a girl because he was pretty. Before they could verify his gender, his parents noticed him and took him home directly after completing the paperwork. They also told him he was a girl, but...
Thinking of the past that was too painful to recall, Banxia's mouth twitched.
As a result, the two of them boiled water and asked her to help her sister bathe, but Yu Yu did not allow her to touch her. He could only watch as the boy stripped himself naked, and found that the sister had something that he did not have...
She was twelve years old at the time, and it wasn't the open era of more than twenty years later, so she didn't understand many things.
Knowing that it was something that only boys had, and her parents wanted to adopt her sister, they felt that it would be pitiful if the child was sent back home, so she asked the boy, "Do you want to stay in our house?"
The boy looked at her for a moment and nodded.
"That's bad. Mom and Dad wanted to adopt a younger sister, but you're the younger brother." She innocently took a pair of scissors and said, "Let me cut this off for you. After that, you'll be the younger sister."
Hearing this, the boy's eyes widened in horror and he fell directly from the kang to the ground, startling his parents who were cooking in the kitchen.
The two men were also stunned when they rushed in. After finding out the reason, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They punished the reckless Banxia by making her stand outside the door.
Because of the punishment of standing, Banxia was ridiculed by Qu Chenglong outside the door.
At that time, she didn't dare to talk back and could only endure it with the adults saying "my brother is still young". She endured it for many years, thinking that Qu Chenglong would be sensible when he grew up.
However, facts have proved that the naughty child will also be a naughty adult when he grows up. He has no respect for his elders and is greedy for money and lustful. Together with Qu Hehuan, he caused her to lose her loved ones and leave her with nowhere to go. On the night before her execution, not even a single relative could see her for the last time.
However, the two men were at large, living a life of luxury with the wealth that should have belonged to her.
Thinking of the past, Banxia clenched her fists.
"The water is ready, come and give your sister a bath." Dad in the east room called out, "Xiao Xia!"
"I'm coming!" Banxia responded quickly, glanced at the boy who was still sitting obediently on the kang without changing his posture, and turned to leave.
Dad was in the kitchen, wiping the sweat off his head with a cloth. "Your mom is out buying groceries. Go to the east room and give your sister a bath. Dad will cook."
There are two rooms in the house, the east room and the west room, with the kitchen in the middle.
Banxia glanced at the steaming bathtub in the east room and said helplessly, "That's not my sister. Yuyu is a boy..."
Halfway through speaking her mind, Banxia was stunned.
Qu Gang was also stunned. He stared at her for a long while and yelled, "What are you talking about, you little girl?"
"I..." Banxia had a headache, thinking that her age of "twelve" was indeed inappropriate, so she softened her voice and said, "Yu Yu is a boy, I just saw it."
"How did you see that?" Qu Gang looked confused.
"I saw it when I was taking off my clothes." Banxia said.
"Why are you taking off her clothes?"
"I..." Banxia was a little angry and raised her voice, "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to give him a bath?"
How to wash without taking it off?!
Qu Gang thought about it and realized that this was the case. He stopped talking and hurried into the house to confirm Yu Yu's gender.
When he reached the door, he thought of something and turned around to ask, "How do you know his name is Yu Yu?"
Banxia choked, then said, "He wrote it on my hand."
This explanation is not false.
She knew the boy's name was Yu Yu after spending a whole day with him in her previous life. She discovered that the boy was actually mute. After asking his name several times, the boy wrote the word "Yu" on his palm.
Yu means taking and giving, so from then on everyone in the family called him Yu Yu.
Qu Yu, this was the name my father had originally planned to use when registering the child, but before he could go to the police station, she lost Yu Yu.
Thinking of that thrilling night in her previous life, the smile on Banxia's face faded little by little.
Three days after adopting Yu Yu, she had become very familiar with the boy. During the winter vacation, all the children were at home and lived in the same yard. Qu Chenglong always looked for opportunities to bully Yu Yu.
Yu Yu can't speak and is thin. His grandfather and uncle only speak on Qu Chenglong's side. Banxia feels sorry for her brother being wronged, so she takes Yu Yu out to play.
That afternoon we went ice skating on the big ice rink behind the village. We had so much fun that we came back a little late and it was already dark.
On the way home, they encountered a vicious dog that ran out from the Cheng family. Grandma Wang was bitten and fell to the ground. Banxia drove away the big black dog with a stick, and asked Yuyu to go back to eat first. She then took the bitten Grandma Wang to the village doctor's house.
When she returned, Yu Yu had not returned yet.
Her parents became anxious and went out with her to look for her, but they couldn't find her even after all the lights in the village were turned off.
After returning home, my father went to ask my grandfather for help, hoping that he could persuade the villagers to help find it.
My grandfather is the village chief and has some prestige in the whole village. As long as he asks, the villagers will not refuse.
But the old man has always been very powerful. When he heard that Yu Yu was missing, he didn't panic but laughed, saying that losing a mute was just the right opportunity to adopt another one, so what's the big deal.
In the end, she and her parents were the only ones searching with lanterns on a cold winter night, but they found nothing all day and all night.
Yu Yu was lost because of her mistake.
It was only after the incident that Banxia learned that many children had gone missing in several neighboring villages around the town during that period. The villagers even spontaneously collected a reward and posted it at the police station, hoping to catch the person.
As a result, the case remained unresolved until more than 20 years later.
Maybe God was punishing her for losing her brother. Her life after Banxia was simply a combination of bad luck and bad luck.
After failing to find their younger brother, not long after, their parents adopted a younger sister and named her Hehuan, now Qu Hehuan.
This time she is a real sister, pitiful, gentle and touching, with such deep scheming that it is hard to imagine.
Qu Hehuan has been very good at disguising herself since she was a child. Ban Xiatian really fulfilled her duties as an older sister and treated her well, even giving her the opportunity to continue her studies.
Because her grades were a few points lower than Hehuan's, and Hehuan was too weak to do rough work, and the family had no money to support two children in school, Banxia went out to work to support Qu Hehuan's education until college, and thus gave up a lot.
However, instead of being grateful, Qu Hehuan killed her parents who had raised her for many years, conspired with Qu Chenglong to steal the compensation for the demolition of her hometown, snatched away her fiancé, and framed her for murder.
In the end, that man squandered the wealth that should have belonged to her, and she could only spend the rest of her life in prison with regret.
The night before the execution, Qu Hehuan went to see her in prison. Banxia would never forget his arrogant ridicule.
On the night of her rebirth, she swore that she would never repeat the same mistakes again.
She would never lose Yu Yu again, and would never give her parents another chance to adopt Qu Hehuan.
I will no longer indulge Qu Chenglong and those adults who cannot distinguish right from wrong, and I will not just listen to my grandparents for the sake of filial piety.
She will make up for what she owed Yu Yu in her previous life, let the whole family live a good life, and let her father know that even if she is a girl, she is not raised in vain.
Still able to stand out.
"What a boy..." Qu Gang came out of the house with a dazed look on his face.
Banxia was interrupted from her thoughts. Seeing his expression, she couldn't help but laugh, "How could I lie to you?"
"Such a handsome boy is actually a boy..." Qu Gang still couldn't believe it.
“…” Pinellia.
What you mean by "good eye contact" is simply that you like people who are pretty. You are a pair of parents who are obsessed with looks!
She was about to say something when Qu Shurong's voice came from the yard.
He shouted "Boss!" all the way and rushed into the door with Qu Chenglong.
"Boss, how did you teach Banxia? How did you hit people?" Qu Shurong held Qu Chenglong, who had a smug look on his face, in one hand, and the first thing he did after entering the room was to question Qu Gang.
"I've told you so many times, Jackie Chan is the only son of our Qu family, heir in three generations. The older ones should give way to the younger ones. Banxia actually dared to push him. What if such a young child gets hurt? Can a little girl like her afford the compensation?"
Qu Shurong's voice grew louder as he spoke. After glaring at Qu Gang, he rushed towards Banxia who was standing by the door. "As a sister, you don't even know how to give in to your brother. I think you're asking for a beating!"
"Dad!" Qu had just returned and was a little confused. He stopped Qu Shurong and advised, "Let's talk it out. I scolded Xiaoxia for doing something wrong. Dad, calm down and let's talk it out."
"I can say whatever I want!" Qu Shurong stretched out his arms a few times but failed to hit Banxia. He was a little furious. "You useless thing, you refused to change your wife when you couldn't give birth to a son, and your daughter is an ignorant girl. What else can I expect from you!"
"Grandpa." Banxia couldn't bear it anymore. She had originally planned to discuss with her parents and then form a united front to propose the separation of the family, but now she couldn't help herself.
She stepped forward and said, "You said I could do it, don't mention my mother. I just pushed Qu Chenglong, but he bullied Da Huang first and scolded me, so I did it. And I didn't use much force when I pushed him. He's not made of porcelain, how could I push him apart?"
"What are you talking about!" Qu Shurong got angry and rushed towards Banxia by picking up the firewood stick beside him. "You stupid little bitch, you actually dared to curse your brother to break up, you stupid little bitch!"
"Dad!" The fire stick was made of hardwood, and with Qu Shurong's strength, a hit on his body would be terrible. Qu Gang tried his best to stop him, "Banxia is wrong to push people, I'm going to tell her off, don't get excited, I will definitely tell her off!"
"What's the point of saying it!" Qu Shurong was furious. "She deserves a beating!"
"Grandpa, beat her! Beat this little girl to death!" Qu Chenglong cheered excitedly, dancing with joy. "She just hit me, scolded me, and pushed me! Beat her to death!"
“…” Banxia watched this farce speechlessly, completely unable to understand how she had endured this weird family for eighteen years in her previous life.
She opened the door and entered the house. She was too lazy to pay attention to the grandfather and grandson, and was ready to calm down and think about how to divide the family business.
However, Qu Shurong refused to give in. His anger exploded and he pushed Qu Gang away and chased in with a fire poker.
When Banxia entered the room, Yuyu was still sitting on the kang in the same position as when she left. When he saw the tough old man chasing him in with a fire poker, he showed an obvious panic expression, turned around, opened the door of the kang cabinet and went in.
He moved as fast as a cat, like a trained killer, and Banxia was a little dumbfounded.
The one who was even more dumbfounded was Qu Shurong. He didn't expect that there would be a new child in the family suddenly, and he forgot to take the Pinellia ternata for a while.
"What is that!" He pointed at the edge of a piece of clothing sticking out from the closet door. "Why is there a child?"
"This is the child Xiu'er and I adopted from the orphanage. We haven't chosen a name yet." Qu Gang, who chased in, hurriedly explained.
He crawled onto the kang on his knees, walked to the cabinet door, knocked twice gently, and said in a gentle voice, "Yuyu, don't be afraid. This is grandpa. He won't hit you."
The cabinet door moved, but it closed even tighter, and the corners of clothes that were exposed outside were pulled in by the person inside.
The attitude is a very obvious rejection, a silent rejection.
“…” Qu Shurong’s face looked extremely ugly.
Qu Gang had no choice but to continue coaxing, "Yuyu, come out, please. Daddy has boiled some water for you. Let's take a bath, get clean, and have a good meal. Today is your first day in this family, and Daddy will buy you some meat."
At this time, except for the Chinese New Year, ordinary families could not afford to eat meat during festivals. Being able to buy meat was a great honor. Children were usually very happy when they heard about eating meat.
However, there was no response from inside the cabinet.
"Grandpa, I want to eat meat too. Please ask the uncle to give me the meat. The girl doesn't need to eat meat." Qu Chenglong pulled the corner of Qu Shurong's clothes and licked the saliva that flowed out.
"Girls don't need to eat meat." Banxia looked at him and sneered, "But you'd better eat less meat, otherwise you'll eat too much and squeeze out your brain. You'll still be as useless as you are now at the age of thirty."
"Banxia!" Qu Gang glared at her, "Shut up!"
Qu Shurong was shocked by Yuyu's behavior and didn't pay attention to what Banxia said. He pointed at the cabinet and asked Qu Gang, "Why don't you adopt a child like that? A beggar, a mute? Or a fool?"
Although he only took a quick glance, he still saw clearly when he entered the door that the boy was dressed in rags and had messy hair. He looked like a beggar.
After coaxing him for half a day, he still couldn't come out. This proves that not only can he not speak, he may also have intellectual problems.
Banxia looked down on Qu Shurong and said, "Yuyu just can't speak, everything else is fine. He's a good person and will be a member of our family in the future."
"Yes, Dad..." Qu Gang gave up trying to persuade Yu Yu to come out, and continued Ban Xia's words, "No matter what, since Xiu Er and I adopted this child, we have to take responsibility."
