Chapter 286: Raise an adopted abandoned baby well, and don’t treat them like your own children...
Xiao Qu is not the type to accept things passively. Seeing these two unreasonable bastards trying to turn the tables on him, he was not in a hurry.
He sneered, "Let me be frank. You can take me to the police station. I'll find a way to clear myself there. As for your two dreams of having sons, they'll be completely shattered."
The two idiots were stunned. From the sound of it, did they still have hope?
Of course, Xiao Qu raised his chin proudly. "I'm not bragging. Looking across the entire Yi City, I'm the only one capable of helping you break this fate. If you seriously offend me, I won't give you a chance to mend your ways!"
The two idiots were shocked to hear that there was actually a way to break the childless fate? Great, then, quickly, what should we do? Should we give money or some other kind of filial piety?
Xiao Qu broke free from the two men's restraints, straightened his shirt collar, and made a gesture of counting money with his right hand.
Cao Guangyuan quickly took out all the 19 yuan and 76 cents in his pocket. Kong Badou only had 7.3 yuan on him, not a penny left for himself, so he handed it all over.
Xiao Qu nodded, thinking it was too little, and snorted coldly, "Fifty per person, not to mention it's less. Well, that's it, let's go and collect the money quickly."
The two idiots looked at each other and decided that if they could really have a son, they would have to find a way to get together even five hundred, let alone fifty.
The two hurried back to get the money. When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Qu was chatting with Director Zhang in the ward.
Chu Lingyi, who was holding her daughter, looked at the two crying women and advised, "Okay, why are you crying? Didn't Xiao Qu tell you that you are not destined to have those two children? Take care of yourself first, and you will have them later."
Ma Xiangqin felt sad. Such a fair and fat boy couldn't even open his eyes to see the world. She felt so sad and cried so hard.
Chu Lingyi couldn't stand it anymore and had to cover her daughter's ears and scolded her, "Why are you crying? It's all your fault. Why did you eat so much? Don't you know it's hard to give birth when the child is older? It's not your first pregnancy! I heard that when you gave birth to your daughter, you almost couldn't give birth and you had to use two scissors. You really don't remember. Who can you blame?"
Ma Xiangqin choked up. Yes, she knew it would be difficult to give birth to an older child, but she was really sure of it this time. She hoped to give birth to a son to be proud of. If the child was born with wrinkled skin, thin and small, that would not be good either.
Besides, she couldn't control her mouth at all. She was just greedy and wanted to eat. What could she do? Now that her child was gone, and she was being ridiculed by Chu Lingyi, she felt even worse. She lifted the thin blanket on her body and cried and made a fuss about jumping off the building.
Chu Lingyi didn't believe that she would jump, and since Cao Guangyuan had arrived, she didn't try to persuade her.
Cao Guangyuan heard her sarcastic remarks and was naturally angry, but there was nothing he could do. She was the factory director's wife, what could a common employee like him do?
He could only hug Ma Xiangqin and persuade her kindly. After Ma Xiangqin calmed down, he called Xiao Qu and went out to talk.
Xiao Qu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, pretended to count money when he got outside, and the two men hurriedly presented him with their tribute.
Xiao Qu refused to take a penny off and counted three times, fearing that the two bastards were playing tricks on him. After he finished, he said, "Go ask around at any of your relatives' houses to see if there are any who have unwanted daughters. Bring them home and raise them. Raise them well, just like your own children, and don't let them suffer any injustice. Give it about three years, and you'll have a son."
"Really?" Cao Guangyuan suddenly felt that the fifty yuan was a bit of a loss. His mother had told him about this case before. If he had known this was the case, he would not have wasted the money.
Kong Badou, who was standing by, had also heard of a similar example. He roughly understood the principle behind it - the adoptive parents were destined to have no children, but the adopted girl was destined to have a younger brother, so the adoptive parents were able to give birth to a son later, which was the blessing brought by this daughter.
But there was one question he didn't understand, so he asked, "What if this adopted daughter is destined to have no brothers?"
"Are you stupid? You won't take me with you? I must have calculated everything for you before letting you adopt the child." Xiao Qu rolled his eyes and warned, "Think it over before you make a decision. Don't give your adopted daughter away once you have a son. You won't be able to keep your son then."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Then how much will it cost for you to come with us?"
"I won't make it difficult for you. It costs thirty yuan to calculate the girl's fortune. If the girl is destined not to have a brother, then we will find another family. If she is destined to have a brother, I will charge you an extra three hundred yuan each. If you are reluctant to pay, forget it. Don't waste my time and don't ask me to give you a lower price. I have to give half of this money to the ancestor grandmother. I can't make much money myself." The ancestor grandmother that Xiao Qu mentioned was naturally the Goddess of Descendants enshrined in the Taoist temple.
However, there are no Taoist temples left these days, so I can only secretly build a shrine and worship it myself.
So he was taking a risk in doing this. After all, although the current policies have been relaxed, religious beliefs have not been completely liberalized. If he is caught, he will be put on big-character posters and paraded through the streets, just like before.
So the amount of money he charged was really not much.
Cao Guangyuan did not hesitate. He had money in his hand, so he agreed immediately. However, Kong Badou was not very willing.
He could try his luck. What if the child he adopted was destined to have a brother? Wouldn't that save him at least three hundred and thirty yuan?
In short, he would not ask Xiao Qu for help on this matter and would find a way out on his own.
Cao Guangyuan returned to the ward and quickly discussed it with Ma Xiangqin. Ma Xiangqin was having breast engorgement and she had originally planned to find someone to prescribe a prescription to stop the milk production, but now she had to give up.
She urged, "Then go quickly. I have milk here."
As long as she could really give birth to a son, she would be willing to give all her milk to the adopted child.
Cao Guangyuan suddenly felt a little emotional. No matter how good Yao Yingying was, as long as she was unwilling to fulfill his wish of having a child, she could not be considered a truly good woman.
No matter how bad Ma Xiangqin is, as long as she can cooperate with him to fulfill his dream of having a son, then this woman is still virtuous, and he can forgive her for deceiving him.
In short, he hurried to make arrangements, and three days later brought back a three-day-old baby girl from the countryside.
"She's my cousin's seventh daughter. He doesn't want her anymore. She has the same birthday as our poor son." Cao Guangyuan carefully handed the baby girl to Ma Xiangqin. The mother didn't get enough nutrition. The baby was thin and skinny, weighing only a little over three pounds. She cried like a mosquito, and it was not known whether she could be raised.
In short, let's give it a try. Xiao Qu said that as long as this child can get over this hurdle, he will be destined to be rich and powerful. He will not only have a younger brother, but two.
If this really comes true, his three hundred and thirty will definitely be worth it!
Ma Xiangqin did not hesitate and quickly lifted up her clothes to feed the baby. The poor baby was very hungry. He had been drinking rice soup for three days and did not even have the strength to suck milk. Fortunately, Ma Xiangqin had some experience and took the initiative to squeeze some milk into the baby's mouth. Soon, the baby was attracted by the smell of milk and struggled hard, using his little mouth to fight for a miracle of survival.

Yao Zhizhi has had a peaceful life over the past year. Her daily life is very regular. She either goes to work or reads and does exercises.
As the two children grew up, their troublesome side gradually became apparent - Little Star was good-tempered only in front of Little Moon, but in the alleys and at school, he was really disliked by everyone.
Why? Probably because he couldn't stand some kids bullying the weak.
Just now, the parents came and said that Xiao Xingxing beat their child and asked Yao Zhizhi for nutrition fees.
Yao Zhizhi sneered, "Your son called five or six other boys to bully a little boy, and my Xingxing came to his aid when he saw injustice. What's wrong with that? If you want to pay the child nutrition fee, it's you who gave it to the child who got beaten. Stop distorting the truth in my house and get out of here!"
The leading parent's face turned black with rage. He pointed at her and threatened, "Okay, okay, you're Editor-in-Chief Yao, so awesome, right? You're protective, right? Fine, just wait! I'll go to the police station and ask your mother-in-law if she'll do anything about her grandson hitting someone!"
Of course Tang Fengyuan had to take care of it. She put down what she was doing and looked at the six boys in front of her, all of whom had cuts and bleeding at the corners of their mouths. She wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.
This is not the first time. Little Xingxing, just like his deceased grandfather, loves to stand up for the weak.
So, she knew what was going on at a glance, but the procedure still had to be followed. She asked Xiao Jin to find the beaten child and learn the details of the "incident".
Soon, a little boy with a bruised face and nose came over following his parents. He was from the woolen mill and was the youngest son of the eldest son of the Wu family. His name was Wu Xiaojun.
This child's parents are both very strong. He has been yelled at by his parents since he was a child, and has become a frightened bird, even more timid than a sparrow. He is the one who is beaten most often in this area.
Tang Fengyuan quickly asked Xiao Jin, "Are there any other children present?"
Xiao Jin said, "Yes, Chief, they will be here soon."
Soon, seven or eight more parents of children came. They were all from the grandparents' generation, and their parents were at work.
After understanding the situation, Tang Fengyuan looked at the six bullies calmly and said, "Let's put it this way. Either you pay money and apologize in person, or you pay money and publish an advertisement. It's your choice."
Unfortunately, these parents were not convinced and refused to pay compensation or apologize. Yao Zhizhi added fuel to the fire and invited Li Jing over to expose the name of this group of unreasonable parents.
The next day, reports came out about the parents of these children causing trouble at the police station. The leaders of the parents' workplaces were so scared that they came out to reprimand the children and persuade them.
In short, Little Star definitely didn't suffer any loss in the end, but that group of kids were not easy to deal with either. They had already started to band together to isolate Little Star.
Even Wu Xiaojun, who was beaten, was bribed by them with sugar-coated bullets and stopped playing with Xiao Xingxing.
Little Star has become disliked by everyone.
But this is nothing. The young man himself has a very good attitude. When he comes back, he is still happy to play with his sister and his second aunt's brothers and sisters.
And what about Little Moon? She had a bad temper in front of everyone! But despite her bad temper, she was incredibly popular. Even before she started school, she had already become the king of the kids in the alley.
Of course, the child kings are also divided into age groups. Xiaoyue is just over three years old, and the little followers around him are naturally three or five years old, and the oldest is only seven or eight years old.
Yao Zhizhi found it incredible. It was understandable that the two little ones from her second sister's family were willing to be Xiaoyue's followers, but the older children, who were all in school, could also play with Xiaoyue? It was unbelievable that they would stick to Xiaoyue even after being scolded.
Look, Maodan from Maoling's family is chasing after Xiaoyueliang, calling her "sister" all the time, and wants to give Xiaoyue the corn cobs made by his grandma.
Little Moon took it and took a bite, and found that Maodan always gave her sticky corn, which she didn't like to eat. The little girl was so angry that she broke the corn in half, fed the bitten half to the chicken, and gave the remaining half back to Maodan.
Maodan was very sad. He went back with his head hung and cried to his grandma. After crying, he picked up two new corns and ran over to show his courtesy.
