So she spoke on her own without Suman's guidance.
"I told him to get rid of the kid, but he just wouldn't listen to me."
Grandma Xiaoshan seemed to recall something that frightened her, and beneath her angry appearance was a deep fear.
-
Xiaoshan's adoptive father was infertile, so in order to not have no offspring, he went to the welfare home in town and wanted to adopt a child.
No, to be precise, it's adopting a son.
After observing for a few days, he set his eyes on six-year-old Xiaoshan.
At first, Xiaoshan's adoptive mother was not very happy about it. She thought that if she wanted to adopt a child, she would have to adopt someone who didn't remember anything. However, Xiaoshan was already sensible, and adopting him at this time would feel like there was something between them.
But the adoptive father doesn't think so. He believes that children are the most difficult to take care of when they are young. Not to mention that diapers and milk powder all cost money, children are often sick. Many abandoned babies are abandoned because they are sick.
If they encounter such a situation, and give their all but end up with nothing, then it would not be worth it.
Although the adoptive mother was against it, she had no say in the family and could only watch as the adoptive father took Xiaoshan back.
The first few years were fine. Although Xiaoshan was a little introverted, he was well-behaved.
The careless adoptive father thought that Xiaoshan was a good person, unlike other sons who always got into trouble and had their parents clean up the mess.
But gradually, the adoptive mother discovered that something was wrong with the child.
He was always muttering something that they couldn't understand, and in his room, she could always see all kinds of small animals that he had caught.
There were birds, crickets, and even mice, and all of these small animals became corpses without exception.
Seeing his pet die, Xiaoshan didn't cry or make a fuss. He just frowned and said something they couldn't understand.
Both his adoptive mother and grandmother thought Xiaoshan's behavior was very strange. His feudal grandmother even thought he was possessed by evil spirits and they discussed sending him away.
But the adoptive father disagreed. He thought it would be a waste of time if he sent the child away after raising him for so many years.
Besides, he thought it was normal for boys to be a little naughty. Xiaoshan wasn't out causing trouble, he just kept some pets. Who hasn't played with ants as a child? Don't take it to heart.
Whenever he heard his adoptive mother complain, he would just beat her up and never send Xiaoshan away.
But the adoptive mother felt uncomfortable and no longer treated Xiaoshan the same way as before.
Xiaoshan's adoptive father works on a construction site. Sometimes he has to work in other places, and it is common for him not to come back for three or two months.
When his adoptive father was not at home, his adoptive mother would give Xiaoshan a few dollars, lock him outside the door, and not even let him come back to sleep at night.
Grandma Xiaoshan often asked him to run errands to distant places, hoping that if he met any kidnappers, she would take him away.
But Xiaoshan's vitality was much stronger than they imagined. Even so, he still grew up day by day.
On the contrary, the adoptive mother was misunderstood as having an affair because another man's underwear was found on her bed, and she was beaten all day long.
Days passed like this until something unexpected happened...
