"Qiaowa, I'm your own father! How can you be so disrespectful!" Lu Mingyuan was furious and raised his hand to teach Lu Siqiao a lesson.
In the past, Lu Siqiao was used to being beaten by him and was always terrified.
Now, with a cold face and large, bright eyes filled with aloofness and indifference, she said, "If you dare to hit me, I'll call the police and have you arrested! You'll be locked up for at least ten days for assault and child abuse."
"You child!" Lu Mingyuan was so angry that his teeth itched, but he helplessly lowered his hand and said, "Don't forget, even if you are adopted by the eldest son's family, you are still my daughter, Lu Mingyuan's daughter!"
"You gave birth to me but didn't raise me. So what if I'm your biological daughter? It doesn't change the fact that you abused me!" Lu Siqiao sneered.
She ignored him and went straight back into the house with her schoolbag on her back.
Lu Mingyuan looked up and was met with the hostile gazes of Third Master Lu and Luo Xiaoxue. He felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly called out to Lu Siqiao's back, "Qiaowa, come out! Dad has something to say to you."
He howled for a long time, but Lu Siqiao ignored him.
He went inside and said, "I heard you have a way of attracting those fish. Here's what you'll do: get me a hundred or so pounds, and Dad will sell them for money."
It turns out that his unusual kindness was actually a ploy to get Lu Siqiao to catch fish for him!
Master Lu picked up a carrying pole and smashed it down: "You bastard, what do you think Qiao Wa is? If you want fish, go catch them yourself!"
Lu Mingyuan couldn't dodge in time and yelled, "If I were capable, I wouldn't be begging her. Dad, stop hitting me, everyone's watching!"
"Qiaowa, your mother is pregnant. She's craving fish. Be good, come with Dad to the river." Lu Mingyuan grabbed Lu Siqiao and was about to take her outside.
Lu Siqiao was so angry that she tried to break free from him, but he was too strong.
"Let go!" Luo Xiaoxue rushed forward to push him away, but was pushed back by Lu Mingyuan.
"mom!"
"Minor Snow!"
Third Master Lu and Lu Siqiao rushed over, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was alright.
"You're not leaving, are you?" Master Lu was furious and went to find a suitable tool.
Lu Mingyuan broke out in a cold sweat and ran away as fast as he could.
"Qiaowa, you don't catch fish for your mother to eat, you unfilial daughter!" He howled twice at the door before leaving.
When we arrived at the third brother's house, we saw that they had a bag full of fish, and there were six large fish in a basin.
"Sister-in-law, give me two fish, your second sister-in-law is craving them," Lu Mingyuan said ingratiatingly to Shao Lihua.
Shao Lihua sneered, "Second brother, if you want fish, ask your own daughter. I only have a few. If you take them, what will my child and I eat?"
Lu Mingyuan scratched the back of his head and recounted how he almost pushed Luo Xiaoxue over.
Shao Lihua laughed and said, "It wasn't easy for my sister-in-law to get pregnant. If anything happens to her, my brother and father will definitely not let you off the hook!" As she said this, she put a fish in his bowl and spat, "Weren't you supposed to have four fish? You've eaten them all?"
Lu Mingyuan didn't dare say he was selling it for money, so he just said it was a favor.
Shao Lihua made a veiled attack, saying, "Qiaowa is quite capable. I don't know what kind of magic she used, but she attracted all the fish from the old ditch river. Lu Wenqing's family got three whole bags of fish. That brat is giving the benefits to outsiders and won't even take care of her own family. You can imagine how much she hates us."
Despite what she said, when Lu Siqiao was beaten before, Shao Lihua not only didn't try to stop the fight, but also fanned the flames. How dare she say that?
Lu Mingyuan's face turned ashen. The thought of having to act like a grandson in front of his own daughter filled him with rage, but he had nowhere to vent it.
"Second brother, have you ever thought about taking Qiaowa back?" Shao Lihua asked tentatively.
Lu Mingyuan said that Luo Xiaoxue absolutely refused to agree, and the child could not be returned.
Shao Lihua couldn't stand to see Lu Siqiao doing well, and now she gave him advice: "You should talk to your mother about it later. If force doesn't work, try a softer approach. Your elder brother and his wife are very concerned about their reputation, so they might agree."
Lu Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said he would go back and discuss it with Huang Ling.
When he returned to the grocery store, Huang Ling saw that he had only brought back one fish and scolded him, saying that he had even lost money on the fare.
Upon learning that the fish was shared by the third son's family, Old Lady Ruan burst into curses: "The eldest son's family is getting more and more outrageous. They really are ingrates, they can't be tamed!"
Lu Mingyuan then tested Luo Xiaoxue, trying to get Lu Siqiao back, but was rejected. Even Third Master Lu sided with the eldest branch of the family against him.
"Do you really think that just because I adopted her, she'll become her own child? Why should she?" Huang Ling was so angry that her stomach hurt. She cursed and said, "She's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. She's a piece of my flesh. Why should she get the benefit of this!"
"No way, I'm going to go and demand them back!" She got angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.
Lu Mingyuan quickly advised her, "Take it easy, be careful not to upset yourself."
Huang Ling, however, remained defiant and determined to return to the village to confront Luo Xiaoxue.
Two days later, Huang Ling was the only one minding the shop when a young man deliberately ordered her to get some soda. He secretly pried open the cash register and took twenty yuan.
When Huang Ling noticed, she chased after him despite being heavily pregnant. Unexpectedly, the man was also a ruthless person. He pushed and shoved her, knocking her to the ground, and then left.
When Lu Mingyuan and Grandma Ruan arrived, Huang Ling was covered in blood, and someone else had to call an ambulance.
That night, Shao Lihua rushed over and knocked on the door of the main room.
"Brother, Huang Ling is in trouble. She miscarried." Shao Lihua said, her face pale.
Lu Mingfeng quickly woke up his third father, and the father and son packed up and rushed to the city hospital.
"Brother, take Qiaowa with you." Shao Lihua called out to them and said in a deep voice, "Huang Ling must be heartbroken to lose her son. Qiaowa is her own daughter after all. It's only right that she should say a few words of comfort to her."
Lu Mingfeng refused, saying, "No, the second son and his wife have already bullied Qiaowa badly enough. The child has finally managed to start her life anew, and I can't let her face all of this again."
Even Master Lu said, "Why should children get involved in something like this?"
Shao Lihua gave a reason they couldn't refuse: "Huang Ling said she wants to see Qiao Wa'er."
The faces of Master Lu and his son turned cold.
"Grandpa, Dad, I'll go."
Just then, a soft, sweet voice came from inside the house.
Lu Siqiao stood at the door, giving a cold smile.
The moonlight was dim at the time, and she was wearing a light pink cotton coat with a pale face.
Shao Lihua felt the little girl staring at her, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
“Qiaowa, this is really what your mother said, not something your third aunt made up.” She said this almost as if she were possessed.
Lu Siqiao laughed and said, "Third Aunt, you're wrong again. That's my Second Aunt. My mother is lying in the house."
It's unbelievable! A seven-year-old child is talking like an adult, it's so loud it's suffocating.
By the time they arrived at the city's People's Hospital overnight, it was just beginning to get light.
Lu Mingyuan said dejectedly, "It's a fully formed boy. The doctor said that Ah Ling is bleeding heavily and they have to remove her uterus."
