Niu Zhaodi's heart tightened. She couldn't let anyone mistake her for a bad guy and beat her up. Unconsciously, she raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and slowly moved out of the courtyard gate.
Niu Zhaodi: "It's me!"
Grandma Chen stared at him for a long time but still couldn't figure out who it was, so she said again, "Who are you? You act like everyone knows you. Don't loiter around the entrance of Renmin University. Go do what you're supposed to do."
Actually, Grandma Xu had already figured it out, but she just didn't want to say anything.
If you were to ask her who she hates most in this world, it would definitely be the old couple from her second wife's side, because they betrayed their conscience and switched her son.
The second person I hate the most is Niu Zhaodi. She not only harmed her second son, but also ruined her granddaughter. As long as she is alive, she can forget about harming her son and granddaughter again.
Hearing Old Lady Chen say this, Niu Zhaodi was also a little angry. "You old hag, keep pretending!" But on her face, she smiled and said, "Auntie, it's me, it's Zhaodi! How could you not recognize me?"
Old Mrs. Chen was clearly taken aback. This person, who looked even older than her, was Yaoqiang's former wife, Niu Zhaodi.
This person has changed so much.
Old Mrs. Chen's expression suddenly turned serious.
Why is this person coming here after getting divorced? Is he up to something again?
Old Mrs. Chen's face fell, and she said coldly, "What are you doing here? Is this a place you should be visiting?"
Niu Zhaodi cursed inwardly: "You old bastard, minding your own business like a dog catching a mouse."
Niu Zhaodi said with a smile, "Aunt, look at what you're saying. I did have two children with Xu Yaoqiang. I'm divorced from Xu Yaoqiang, but my two children can't just disown me as their mother, can they?"
At this moment, Old Mrs. Xu spoke up: "You want the two children to acknowledge you?"
Niu Zhaodi straightened her chest and said, "This is not a question of whether they want to or not; some things are beyond their control."
Grandma Xu laughed: "I didn't expect that you are so young, but your memory is not so good. When you divorced Yaoqiang, you signed and sealed the documents. It clearly stated that the two children would live with Yaoqiang and that he would sever all ties with you, his mother, from then on."
Niu Zhaodi didn't look at the document carefully at the time. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it and was in a hurry to resolve the matter. Who would pay attention to the contents of the document then?
Niu Zhaodi thought to herself that she was being taken advantage of; wouldn't it be a waste to have given birth to two children?
She couldn't care less about anything else, and her emotions suddenly surged. "I don't agree! I don't agree! I gave birth to this child! How can you sever ties with me?"
Grandma Xu: "It's true that you gave birth to them, but have you ever raised them? Not only have you never raised them, but you've also been constantly moving their food and belongings to your parents' house. If it weren't for our help, do you think the children would have survived? They might have starved to death when they were still babies."
Niu Zhaodi slapped her thigh and tried to act like a spoiled brat. She sat on the ground, facing Xu Daya, and began to put on a dramatic performance: "I don't want to live anymore! The Xu family is too domineering. They cut off all ties with the child I gave birth to. Is there no law in this world? Are we just going to let the Xu family be the only ones who matter?"
Niu Zhaodi's commotion attracted a lot of onlookers.
Grandma Xu was furious!
She thought that now that they were divorced, her second son could finally live a peaceful life. But she never expected Niu Zhaodi to be so shameless, still thinking about exploiting her children in the future.
Just as Grandma Xu was about to grab a large broom to swat Niu Zhaodi, Xu Daya beat her to it, raising a small stick used for poking ant holes and swatting at Niu Zhaodi.
Xu Daya was quite strong, and she didn't hold back at all when she hit people, yelling "Noisy!" as she did so.
Niu Zhaodi angrily grabbed the stick Xu Daya was hitting her with. Xu Daya thought Niu Zhaodi was playing with her, so she chuckled, but her expression looked very abnormal.
Niu Zhaodi was stunned. If she still couldn't see that Xu Daya had a problem, she would really be blind.
Just as Niu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, Xu Daya pulled back the stick and started swinging it at Niu Zhaodi again, thinking that Niu Zhaodi was just playing with her.
Grandma Xu's heart was in her throat. She rushed over to protect Xu Daya, calling out, "Daya, Daya, be good. Let's stop making a fuss. Be careful of the baby in your belly."
Xu Daya was having a great time and didn't want to stop, so she kept hitting Niu Zhaodi with the stick.
Perhaps Niu Zhaodi was too shocked by Xu Daya's condition, or perhaps she didn't want to hurt the child in Xu Daya's womb, Niu Zhaodi suddenly fell silent.
Niu Zhaodi quieted down, and Xu Daya, feeling bored, went back to playing with her ants.
The onlookers were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They had thought that Xu Daya had gotten married and Niu Zhaodi had come to their door, so there would be a big show to watch. They never expected to see such a shocking scene.
Xu Daya got married, and now everyone in the brigade knows it, but very few people know that Xu Daya has become mentally challenged.
"What's wrong with Da Ya?" someone in the crowd asked in a low voice.
"It seems rather abnormal."
"It feels like something's broken here," someone said, pointing to their head.
"What on earth happened? How could a perfectly healthy person become like this?"
"Poor Yaoqiang! He married such a wretch who caused so much trouble at home. He finally got a divorce, but now his daughter is like this."
"Could it be because of that jinx, Niu Zhaodi?"
"It must have been terrible for these children to be born into the wombs of mothers like this."
Niu Zhaodi had long forgotten to react, and just sat on the ground staring blankly at Xu Daya, who was poking ants.
Xu Yaoqiang, Cao Anian and the others rushed home after hearing that something had happened at home. Yang Chunqin and Xu Qiang also came over.
When Xu Yaoqiang saw the person sitting on the ground, he didn't immediately realize it was Niu Zhaodi. He just frowned. Cao Anian quickly came to Xu Daya's side, pulled her up, patted the dirt off her, and led her into the house to wash her hands.
He could tell from the sight of the person sitting on the ground that they were no pushovers, and he didn't want anyone to accidentally hurt Xu Daya.
Niu Zhaodi's eyes followed Xu Daya the whole time; she really couldn't believe this was her scheming daughter.
As soon as Xu Qiang walked in, he asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Knowing that Old Mrs. Xu was furious, Old Mrs. Chen spoke up again, saying, "Niu Zhaodi is such a scoundrel! She's not even a member of the Xu family anymore. She signed a document severing ties with the two children back then, but now she's denying it and still wants to leech off them!"
Xu Yaoqiang was shocked. He had almost forgotten about this person. How did she suddenly reappear? He looked at the person on the ground and then recognized her as Niu Zhaodi.
Xu Qiang: "It's clearly written in the documents, and the commune police station has a record of it! It's not something she can just say whatever she wants."
Niu Zhaodi remained silent and motionless on the ground.
