Chapter 447 We are still waiting for you to take care of us in our old age!

The woman was obviously a little shivering, with a guilty expression on her face. She said in a flattering way: "Xiao Wen, Mom... Mom has not had a good life these years. Mom didn't mean to not take you away, it was... it was the new in-laws who didn't want to. If I took you with me, then they wouldn't want Mom either..."

Xiao Wen's heart felt as if it was cut by a knife. He didn't come here just to listen to these excuses.

"Don't call me mom all the time. My real mom didn't want us anymore! Now my mom is called Xia Juanjuan! Just tell me why you are here and why you took Beibei away yesterday."

The woman lowered her eyes in pain, and then said:

"Xiao Wen, Mom... I... I know you blame me in your heart. But I really had no choice at the time... In fact, I heard from the villagers that your fourth uncle has been very good to you over the years. If Mom takes you away, you will have to suffer a lot with Mom... Alas, Mom knows you don't want to hear this. Mom came here this time, actually for your brother..."

Xiao Wen was stunned. When did he have a brother?

The woman explained quickly, "He's not your biological brother, but... the child of my new in-law's uncle. We're getting married soon, but the woman wants 200 yuan, and my family can't afford the gift money, so your uncle asked me to come and ask. Haven't your fourth uncle and aunt done very well in business these years? Xiaowen, can you help me talk to your fourth uncle and see if he can lend me 200 yuan..."

Xiao Wen looked at the old woman in front of him in shock, and he couldn't breathe as if a huge rock was blocking his chest.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't utter a word!

He tossed and turned last night, thinking about many things, what she would say when he saw her, and why she came here.

He even thought that maybe she came this time to take him and Xiao Wu Beibei back.

If that was the case, although he still couldn't help but hate her, at least he would feel a little happier.

Even though she abandoned them back then, now... at least she came to find them...

But she didn't expect that she came here for the dowry money for the son brought by her new husband.

In the past, he was so cruel as to abandon his own children, but now he is trying to take advantage of his fourth uncle for a "son" who is not related to him by blood!

No matter how precocious Xiaowen was, he was just a kid under fourteen years old. With tears welling up in his eyes, he glared at his mother hatefully, then turned around and left without looking back!

"Xiao Wen! Don't go! Listen to me!"

Seeing this, the woman became anxious and quickly took a few steps to grab Xiaowen's arm.

Xiaowen angrily pushed her away and shouted while choking, "Don't touch me! You are not my mother! You are someone else's mother!"

"Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen..."

The woman shouted and cried with tears streaming down her face.

She...what can she do?

If she didn't come, her husband would divorce her. After she got married, she gave birth to a daughter. If she was driven away, her daughter would also be homeless with her.

She only knows that a woman has to rely on her husband and son for her whole life. When Li Jun was alive, she relied on him. Now that Li Jun is dead, she will rely on the man she has now. If the man now doesn't want her anymore, how will she support herself and her daughter?

When they woke up in the morning, they found Xiaowen was missing and were extremely anxious. Lizhan and others rushed out to look for her.

Xia Juanjuan was also anxious to come out, but was stopped by Li Zhan.

"It's so cold, you should stay at home and don't go out. Besides, what if Xiaowen comes back by himself and no one is home? What will we do then?"

Xia Juanjuan nodded after hearing this, but couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Lizhan, do you think... could it be related to that woman last night?"

Lizhan also suspected this in his heart. He touched Xia Juanjuan's head and said, "Don't think too much. Xiaowu and Beibei said that Xiaowen was still at home last night. Even if he went out, he shouldn't have gone too far. Don't worry, we will definitely find him."

When Xiaowen came back, only Xia Juanjuan was at home.

When Xia Juanjuan saw him coming back, she finally felt relieved.

Judging from his red eyes, he must have secretly cried somewhere for a while.

Xia Juanjuan did not open her mouth to blame him, but smiled and said calmly, "Are you back? There are rice and vegetables in the pot, go and eat. After eating, we still have to go to my grandmother's, great grandmother's and third uncle's houses to pay New Year's greetings."

After hearing this, Xiaowen felt a lump in his throat for some reason, and the tears he had held back with great difficulty began to fall again, making a "pat, pah" sound. He raised his sleeves to wipe them away.

Seeing him like this, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

From the moment she met Xiaowen, she knew that the child was sensible. Even when his younger brothers and sisters cried and acted capriciously, he never made a fuss and asked for this or that. Instead, he helped to cook and do housework since he started elementary school. He also took care of his younger brother and provided tutoring for his younger brothers and sisters. From childhood to adulthood, he was always a good brother and cried very few times.

Now he is thirteen or fourteen years old, almost as tall as her, and a big kid, but he suddenly cried like a tearful person, which was even more touching.

Xia Juanjuan handed him her hand and said with a smile, "It's New Year's Day, what's going on?"

Xiao Wen shook her head, wiped her tears, and then asked intermittently, "Mom, will you and Fourth Uncle... not want us anymore in the future?"

Just like his own mother...

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan knew that her guess was correct. This matter must be related to Xiaowen's biological mother.

"Silly boy, if your fourth uncle and I didn't want you, wouldn't we have done so long ago? Why did we have to wait until now?

Besides, raising children is a way to support you in your old age. You said that your fourth uncle and I have worked hard for nearly ten years, and you are almost grown up. We are all waiting for you to support us in our old age and honor us. Now you want us to give up you, and we don’t agree. Isn’t this making your fourth uncle and I do business at a loss? "

Xiaowen couldn't help but burst out laughing, but then tears started to flow again.

However, this time, they were no longer tears of sadness, but tears of peace and happiness.

Even if their biological mother doesn't want them anymore, at least... they still have their mother and fourth uncle who don't think they are a burden...

"Okay, go wash your face with hot water, eat your dumplings, and go outside to look for your fourth uncle and the others. The whole family is worried about you and has run out to look for you."

Xiaowen nodded and went to wash her face.

Just after turning around, she turned back and said softly, "Mom, I went out this morning to see... that woman... that is... the mother of Xiaowu, Beibei and me..."

Xia Juanjuan didn't expect Xiaowen to suddenly confess to her, so she listened quietly, nodded, and said, "Well... I guessed it. If you want to say something, just tell me. If you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter. Mom doesn't care about these."
