Granny Ma shook her head regretfully, "It's no use. She's no longer part of your family. Even if she were to come back against your will, it wouldn't make a difference."
"Is it really no use? We don't ask for anything, we just want the child to be able to speak." Le Hai asked persistently.
"Now she's from one of your two families, so don't overthink it. It's too late. If you had treated that child better back then, your own child wouldn't have suffered like this. Go back and raise your child properly now, and don't think about anything else." After saying that, Granny Ma stopped talking.
Le Hai and his wife returned home dejectedly, holding their son's hand.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault for being so dramatic. You were already clamoring to send Yuanyuan away as soon as you got pregnant. Look what happened, you've ruined our own son."
Le Hai began to complain about his wife. If she hadn't said that Yuan Yuan was unlucky for the baby, he wouldn't have returned Yuan Yuan to his younger sister.
"Can you blame me for all this? Fine, now you're blaming me. Why didn't you stop it back then? Now you're playing the good guy." Sister-in-law Le was unwilling to take the blame. Although there was an element of her doing it on purpose, she wouldn't have been able to send Yuanyuan away so smoothly if her husband hadn't supported her.
Le Hai angrily grabbed a handful of hair and said fiercely, "Who else is to blame but you? You couldn't get pregnant for more than ten years, and when you finally did, you gave birth to a child with problems. It must be you, the mother, who has the problem."
"Ah, Lehai, I'm going to fight you to the death..." Sister-in-law Le could no longer hold back, she grabbed her husband's hair and pulled it down hard.
"You bitch, it hurts so much! Get out of here!" In pain, Le Hai shoved his wife hard, sending her crashing against the wall.
"Ah, I don't want to live anymore! Everyone come quick, someone's been beaten to death!" Sister-in-law Le sat down on the ground and cried out, attracting neighbors from all around to peek and see what was going on.
When Le's mother was summoned, this was the scene she saw: her eldest daughter-in-law was sitting on the ground crying, while her eldest son was covering his face and remaining silent.
"Are you trying to drive me crazy? You're living too comfortably, aren't you?"
"Mom, your son hit me, and my head is still spinning," Sister-in-law Le began to complain as soon as her mother-in-law arrived.
Le's mother glared at her eldest son, then persuaded the neighbors who were watching the commotion to go back before seriously looking at her eldest son and his family of three.
When he saw his grandson looking completely oblivious, he couldn't help but sigh. What a tragedy!
"Tell me, what did you argue about this time?"
“He blames me, he blames me for giving him a son with problems. How could I know if the child had problems while he was still in my belly? Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
Sister-in-law Le couldn't wait to complain to her mother-in-law, telling her not to try to shift all the blame onto her.
Le's mother frowned and looked at her son reproachfully: "What's the point of saying all this now? The baby has already been born."
"Mom, we just saw Ma Shenpo, and she said it's because we sent Yuanyuan away. Do you think we can ask Xiaomei for Yuanyuan back?" Lehai was plotting a plan in her mind, which would determine her son's future.
"Didn't Granny Ma say..." Sister-in-law Le wanted to say something but was stopped by her husband's stern gaze, but she was still full of questions.
Le's mother gave her eldest son a stern look and warned, "Yuanyuan is a person, not a thing. She is your own niece. Xiao Rong's family is doing well now, and you are not allowed to disturb them."
“Mom, what man would want to raise someone else’s child? Yuanyuan might have suffered a lot of grievances in that family. Bringing her back is for his own good.” Lehai said shamelessly, while pretending to be misunderstood.
"Dahai, you're my son. I know what you're up to the moment you stick your butt out. Don't try that on me, or your little sister will call the police and have you arrested."
After finishing her sentence, Le's mother ignored her son and instead asked her grandson in a low voice, "Little Bao, have you eaten lunch yet? Do you want to come home with Grandma for lunch? Grandma will make you something delicious."
Le Bao didn't say anything, just quietly played with his toys.
Le Bao's mother didn't pay any attention and said to herself, "Let's go, follow behind Grandma." After saying that, she walked out of the yard first, and when she looked back, Le Bao indeed silently followed.
Seeing her mother-in-law leave with her son, Sister-in-law Le immediately went up to her husband and asked, "Dahai, what did you mean by what you just said to Mom? Didn't Granny Ma say that bringing Yuanyuan back now is useless?"
Le Hai rolled his eyes at his wife in annoyance. "What do you know? I'm just thinking about our son's future. With him like this, where will he find a wife?"
"That won't work either. Yuanyuan is your younger sister's biological daughter, and she's related to Xiaobao by blood. Doesn't the country now prohibit consanguineous marriage?" Sister-in-law Le said in shock. This might have worked in the past, but this is a new era.
Le Hai glanced at his wife speechlessly. "Of course I know it won't work, but we can try a marriage exchange. We can always get a wife for our son by exchanging Yuan Yuan for her."
Upon hearing her husband's words, Sister-in-law Le slapped her thigh and exclaimed happily, "Dahai, you're so thoughtful! This is a great idea. It'll only cost a little rice and flour. But will your little sister agree to it?"
Le Hai smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree, as long as her husband agrees. I've gotten rid of a burden for him, he should be grateful to me."
Le Hai was thinking from a man's perspective. If he were in his shoes, he wouldn't want to raise someone else's child for nothing. Now that he has a chance to get rid of this burden, he is naturally eager to take it.
"But we don't know where your little sister is now!"
"Didn't she send something to my parents last year? I remember there was an address on that box. I'll go check it when my parents aren't home."
Happy Hai quickly found Le Rong's address. When Le Rong saw her older brother at her doorstep, her expression was extremely unpleasant.
Le Hai smiled naturally, "What? Little sister doesn't welcome big brother? Look at you, you haven't been home for so many years. Big brother has come to see you, and you're not welcoming him? Is that reasonable?"
"Xiao Rong, who's at the door? Why won't you let them in?" Zhang Xueshan couldn't help but ask as he walked up to his wife, who was blocking the doorway and hadn't come in yet.
Le Hai, ever the friendly type, pushed Le Rong aside and squeezed in, replying with a smile, "Brother-in-law is me, your older brother. Tsk tsk tsk, look at the house you're living in now, you've done quite well these past few years, haven't you? It's just that your parents back home have suffered, still living in a mud-brick house."
Zhang Xueshan squinted and carefully examined his brother-in-law in front of him, thinking to himself that the visitor was up to no good!
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!" Realizing what was happening, Le Rong quickly tugged at Le Hai's sleeve, trying to push him out.
