Chapter 386: Retribution for Favoring Sons Over Daughters 2 I might as well follow him, since he...
Yao Zhizhi hadn't seen Cao Guangyuan since she came back. She was a little surprised: "What's going on? Wasn't the child getting better before?"
Little Moon echoed, "Yes, he's getting better, but didn't Uncle Cao and Aunt Ma send their two daughters away? They were so wicked, so this son has been suffering from bad luck ever since."
Little Star chimed in, "Yes, Mom. Wu Xiaojun said Aunt Ma took her son to the market to buy some vegetables, and a white sliver of flesh cut his arm. It got infected, and he had a high fever that wouldn't go away. He had to be on IV drips for a week before he recovered. Not long after that, he got hurt again. Either he stepped on a broken manhole cover while walking and nearly fell in, or he missed a step while going down the stairs and rolled down. Those were just minor injuries that he'll heal with a little rest. The worst part is, this kid loves playing with firecrackers. He likes to imitate the older kids, stuffing them into glass bottles and watching them fly or spin around. Surprisingly, the other kids were fine, but he got hurt. The bottle spun twice on the spot, flew straight towards his head, and exploded right in front of him. The kid is still in the hospital."
"Really? Are we so unlucky?" Yao Zhizhi was a little shocked. It seemed that some unspeakable mysterious power was punishing Cao Guangyuan and Ma Xiangqin for their actions.
But she has always believed that every wrong has its perpetrator, and if there really is such a mysterious hand, then the ones who deserve retribution the most are Cao Guangyuan and Ma Xiangqin themselves.
They both deserved death, whether they were injured or disabled, because they deserved it. But what could a three-year-old child know?
He didn't even know that his arrival was based on the adoption of an abandoned baby, and he didn't know that his parents sent his two sisters away because of him.
But now, Yao Zhizhi no longer has the final say. Karma has its own set of logical closed-loop operating standards, and it seems that this child is really in danger.
She felt a little reluctant, so she decided to call her third brother and ask if there was any way to crack the problem.
Yao Weihua understood the whole story and said comfortingly, "It's not difficult to solve this problem. We just need to get them to find their two daughters and raise them well. But you also said that they went to look for the two adoptive families before, but they had moved away. I think this will be difficult."
Yao Zhizhi sighed silently. No matter what, it was at least a solution.
After hanging up the phone, she still informed Yao Taotao: "If Cao Guangyuan really lost this son, he would probably be living a life worse than death. He might get into trouble or try his best to have another son. By then, he won't be able to take care of his two daughters. I don't know if the two children miss their father. Anyway, I've told you the solution to this problem. It's up to you whether you want to tell him or not."
"Thank you, Zhizhi. I'll go talk to him." Yao Taotao understood that no matter how bad Cao Guangyuan was, he was still the biological father of her eldest sister's two daughters. Even if their parents were divorced, as long as the children could see their father every now and then, it would be better than having no father at all.
So she decided to go to the hospital.
Chao Risheng saw her putting on her windbreaker and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Yao Taotao pinched his cheek silently: "Let's go see Cao Guangyuan's son. Will you come with me?"
"Let's be together." Chao Risheng and Yao Taotao's breakup only lasted three days. On New Year's Eve, the two reconciled.
However, even though they reconciled, Yao Taotao's attitude towards him became obviously much colder.
He also knew that the rift could not be healed overnight, but he was willing to spend time and work hard. As long as she didn't break up with him, everything would be fine.
Now that Yao Taotao has to run around for the scumbag father of her two nieces, he naturally has to accompany her. In such a cold day, at least he can ride a bicycle and let her sit on the back seat so that she won't be blown in the face by the cold wind.
Yao Taotao didn't refuse and put on her scarf. She suddenly became curious: "Do you have money?"
"I brought him." Chao Risheng already knew about the situation of Cao Guangyuan's son. He went there with Yao Taotao, so he had to show some concern for him and lend some money to Cao Guangyuan.
Yao Taotao was clearly unhappy. She took off her gloves and rummaged through his pockets. She said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you bring so much? Just give him twenty or thirty yuan as a token of your gratitude. Besides, I already have money with me. What's the point of you bringing more? Are we two families?"
Chao Risheng keenly grasped the key message of this sentence. He smiled and stuffed his turned-out pockets back into his pockets. "That's right. There's no need for a family to pay twice."
"I'm glad to know." Yao Taotao stuffed all the five hundred yuan in his pocket back into the bedside table. She was not going to be a Bodhisattva, but was just fulfilling her duty to remind him so that her two nieces wouldn't feel sad when they lost their father. Moreover, when that time really came, those people with bad intentions would attack her elder sister for being unlucky in marriage.
Even though the two have been divorced for many years, they still can't stand being unreasonable when someone wants to throw dirty water on them.
Unexpectedly, the enemies met on a narrow road. When they arrived at the hospital, they happened to see Cao Guangyi.
He was the child's uncle, so naturally he wanted to show his appreciation. Not only did he give money, he also gave some food and toys.
At this moment, he was still persuading his elder brother that it would be better to think of a way and ask Xiao Qu for help to see if the child was possessed by evil spirits. Why was he always so unlucky?
Cao Guangyuan looked for her, but Xiao Qu refused to see him, so there was nothing he could do. Look, she was wiping her tears with a sad face.
Seeing Yao Taotao and Chao Risheng coming over, Cao Guangyuan quickly wiped his tears and pulled Cao Guangyi's arm.
Cao Guangyi was obviously a little surprised. He often met Yao Taotao in school, but the two of them didn't talk. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would want to pursue her and stick to her. She didn't want to be seen by Chao Risheng and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
At this moment, the new and old loves were all in the same ward, but Yao Taotao looked calm. She took out thirty yuan and said, "I just heard about the child. Although he is not my sister's, he is my two nieces' biological brother. As his second aunt, I can't help but come and see him. By the way, I've done some research for you. The only way to break this child's bad luck is to find your two daughters, the sooner the better. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Anyway, I've said all I want to say. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Yao Taotao prepared to leave.
Cao Guangyuan couldn't be tough. Although the thirty yuan was far from enough to pay the remaining medical expenses, it was better than nothing.
He still accepted it without any backbone, stood up and asked: "Did Xiao Qu tell you this?"
Yao Taotao rolled her eyes at him. "Xiao Qu wouldn't even see you, so why would he tell me? My daughter Zhizhi told me. Her third brother knows some esoteric arts, so she called to ask for you. Believe it or not, I'm leaving."
"Wait, her third brother? Yao Weihua?" Cao Guangyuan didn't expect that Yao Weihua had such ability. He was really shocked. He didn't know whether this so-called method of cracking the code was true or just a trick to fool him.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yao Taotao walked out in disgust: "I told you, believe it or not, don't keep asking me, you're so annoying."
Cao Guangyuan had no choice but to stop and watch Yao Taotao and Chao Risheng go away. When he turned around, he found that Cao Guangyi was standing at the window in a daze. Cao Guangyuan walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and glanced downstairs, just in time to see a pair of lovers walking hand in hand towards the carport.
Cao Guangyuan had to persuade them: "Look at it more openly. They are sisters and we brothers are not the same kind of people."
Cao Guangyi ignored him and just stared at Yao Taotao's back. Yao Taotao at the door noticed something and paused for a moment, but in the end she didn't look back and just left.
Chao Risheng keenly noticed the pause and subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand. He stopped in front of the carport and asked, "Is Editor-in-Chief Yao's third brother really that powerful?"
Yao Taotao looked at him calmly: "Don't make small talk, I know that's not what you want to ask."
Chao Risheng sighed silently: "Then I didn't want to ask Cao Guangyi."
Yao Taotao ruthlessly exposed him: "You want to ask me, if I hadn't kept you at home on New Year's Eve, if we really broke up, would I have reconciled with Cao Guangyi?"
Chao Risheng's throat moved, but in the end he was unable to make any excuses and chose to accept it.
Yao Yaotao turned around and unlocked the car, her voice calm. "I can tell you clearly, even if he and I could ever get back together, it wouldn't be now. What do you think of me? Just after breaking up with you, I'm so excited I can go find my ex? You don't seem to have any idea how much your calculations have hurt me."
Chao Risheng frowned, quickly took the lock from her hand, and threw it into the basket. Then he held the steering wheel in silence. After a long moment, he asked, "Can you please stop nagging me about it every day? I know I was wrong, and I will make it up to you."
"If you don't want me to nag you every day, fine. Let's break up and go away." Although Yao Taotao softened her heart, she still couldn't get over this hurdle.
So even if the two fail to break up successfully, they can't go back to the way they were before.
That incident was like a poisoned thorn that pierced her heart, causing her to feel a burning pain.
Chao Risheng also knew that he had made a big mistake, but the past could not be retrieved. He thought it would be better to work hard in the present and build the future.
He didn't want to argue anymore, so he simply picked up Yao Taotao and let her sit on the back seat. Then he took a step with his right leg and, relying on his tall stature, he sat directly on the seat from the front bar and rode home.
When they got to the residence, he took off his thick hat, gloves, and scarf, boiled some water, and soaked Yao Taotao's feet. After tucking her into the quilt, he came over and solemnly announced, "I won't break up with you, even if you provoke me every day. Of course, if you make up your mind now and say you don't want to be with me anymore and want me to get out, I can oblige you. If you've made up your mind, as long as you ask, I'll leave."
"Then go away." Yao Taotao didn't want to be threatened by him. What kind of person was he? She slapped him, but he also schemed against her to get her pregnant. Although they were both wrong, the severity was completely different. She had already been soft-hearted once, and she would not give in again.
She wanted to see, between her and Chao Risheng, whether the east wind would prevail over the west wind or the west wind would prevail over the east wind.
The answer is obvious. Perhaps Chao Risheng considered that he had just met his love rival, or perhaps he really couldn't let go of this relationship, or perhaps it was for some other reason. In short, he did not leave.
He played a word game and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll walk to cook."
Yao Taotao was speechless. This time he had begged her to stay, so she could bring up the past whenever she wanted to, and he had no right to complain.
Chao Risheng tied on an apron resignedly. Forget it, it was just bringing up the past. It would pass if he endured it. Spring would be here soon and everything would be fine.
Soon, the meal was ready. When he went to the bedroom to call Yao Taotao, he found that Yao Taotao was making the bed. He was so scared that he rushed forward and held her hand: "Don't do this, can't I stop complaining in the future?"
"What? I'm on my period, and the sheets are dirty. Do you think I'm leaving?" Yao Taotao already knew in her heart that she had won this round. She reluctantly gave him a good look, grabbed the dirty sheets, and stuffed them into his arms. "Wash them for me. I'll forgive you once you've washed them."
"Okay!" Chao Risheng said with a smile, "Let's eat first and then wash, okay?"
What else could Yao Taotao say? He was so shameless, and he was also a virtuous housewife. Well, let's just turn a blind eye and let him make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and see what happens next.

In the boiler room, Yu Hongfang, with a flattering look on her face, asked, "Xiao Qu, could you please contact Director Qin that you mentioned last time? As long as he's willing to increase the betrothal gift to 1,000, I'll let Jia Jia marry him."
Xiao Qu frowned: "You must be mistaken, I'm talking about his son, not him."
"But his son's job is very ordinary. It's better for Jia Jia to follow him. He is a widower anyway." Yu Hongfang is still dreaming of getting rich by selling her daughter.
Xiao Qu stuffed the gift she had brought back, like chasing away a beggar, and said impatiently, "Get lost! My master has warned us not to help the evildoers. I, an outsider, can't bear to see a good girl ruined, and yet you, her own mother, are always so mean. Get lost now, stay away from me, or I'll be implicated when the thunderbolt strikes you."
