Chapter 102 Wanting to be adopted
After Du came back, she never cared about Shen Yin.
Shen Xiangxi was the only one who took care of it.
Shen Xiangxi had to drive the tractor and take care of the children at the same time, which made Shen Xiangxi look haggard. Fortunately, Han sometimes helped out, giving Shen Xiangxi a chance to catch her breath.
Du's sister-in-law came again.
This time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Du family brought two eggs.
Mrs. Du was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and she complained a lot to the eldest sister-in-law of the Du family.
She felt that the people in the Shen family didn't understand her and blamed her. Was it wrong for her to just want to give Shen Xiangxi a son to carry on the family line? If that little monster hadn't taken her son's place, would she not have been able to give birth to a son? The eldest sister-in-law of the Du family agreed with her, but in her heart she despised Mrs. Du as a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
"I heard that you were injured. Is this true?" asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Du family.
When Mrs. Du was mentioned, she hated Shen Yin so much that her teeth itched. If it wasn't for giving birth to this little monster, how could she have injured her body and become unable to have children in the future.
"You should also think more about your future. I tell you these heartfelt words because I love you. How about this, what do you think of my youngest boy? Why don't I adopt him to you? This way, when you are old, you will have someone to take care of you." said the eldest sister-in-law of the Du family.
Hearing this, Mrs. Du also started to think about it.
The doctor said that she could not have any more children and that she had to have a son. What her sister-in-law said made sense, but she had given birth to three sons, and the youngest was already seven years old.
"But Youfu is already seven years old..." A seven-year-old child is already sensible and knows who is who.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. You are his biological aunt, so you are related by blood after all. You should take good care of this kid Youfu. After a long time, he will recognize you as his mother." The eldest sister-in-law of the Du family was calculating. Her son was seven years old, and he would definitely recognize her as his mother. The Shen family was well-off, and Shen Xiangxi was a tractor driver. In the future, her position as a tractor driver would belong to her son.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Du family took Mrs. Du's hand affectionately, told her the various benefits of having an adopted son, and assured her that her son would definitely treat her as his own biological mother.
Mrs. Du did not refuse directly, but said she would discuss it with Shen Xiangxi.
In fact, Mrs. Du had her own ideas about adopting a child, but the best candidate in her mind was not the youngest son of Mrs. Du's eldest sister-in-law, but the youngest son of Mrs. Wang, Shen Hanxi.
Shen Hanxi is destined to be rich and powerful, and he is very young. If he were brought in now, he would be ignorant. He is the best candidate for adoption.
In the evening, Mrs. Du took Shen Xiangxi aside to talk about the adoption, but Shen Xiangxi looked disapproving.
"The great man said that men and women are equal now, and women can hold up half the sky. It doesn't matter whether they are men or women. I don't think it's a big deal if I don't have a son. If I can't give birth to a son, then I can't give birth to a son. It's just that I'm not destined to have one. Having three daughters is also good. Why adopt one? Besides, you know how much my second sister-in-law loves little Hanxi. Will she agree to adopt him?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Mrs. Du was anxious and angry. "I don't believe that you don't want a son in your heart. If you didn't want a son, why would you agree to let me give birth to that little monster? Now you say so nicely, but it's just that you are embarrassed to ask your second brother for it! I'll go and ask our mother."
"What little monster, little monster? This is our daughter! She just has a little defect. How can you, as a mother, say such harsh words? Okay, okay, if you want to beg me, then go ahead and beg me. I won't stop you."
Mrs. Du really dared to do it. She found Old Lady Ji in the yard the next day.
After hearing this, Old Lady Ji said: "You want to adopt Han Xi? Then why don't you go to the second son's family? Why do you come to me?"
"Mom, my second sister-in-law will definitely not agree. Just consider that our third room has no male heirs and agree to let Han Xi be adopted into our third room. I will definitely treat Han Xi well."
Shen Ruoqing was really surprised. How could she agree to it just because the third room had no male offspring? This was moral kidnapping!
"You shameless little whore, you are a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and yet you still think about my Xier! I will beat you to death!" Wang originally just came to eavesdrop, but she didn't expect to hear it coming down on her head.
The angry Wang went up to Mrs. Du and slapped her in the face. "I thought you were a good person. I felt sorry for you because you gave birth to a daughter. I didn't expect you to plot against my family! I tell you, Shen Hanxi is my son. I won't give him to anyone else!"
Mrs. Du, who was still in confinement after receiving her first child, felt dizzy and almost unable to stand after being slapped.
Wang's voice was so loud that the neighbors next door were so frightened that they climbed over the wall to see what was happening.
Unexpectedly, after Du came to her senses, she knelt down in front of Wang and said, "Second sister-in-law, I beg you to have mercy on me. It is my fault that I did not give Xiangxi a son, but I cannot watch Xiangxi die without an heir. You have three sons, so it doesn't matter if you give one to me. I will definitely treat your son well and treat him as my own. Second sister-in-law, you can't just watch our Shen family's third branch die without an heir, can you?"
"If you don't have an offspring, that's because you're a hen that doesn't lay eggs. What does it have to do with me? You don't even feed your own daughter, but you still miss my son? How can this be justified? I'm telling you, I won't give you even one of my sons! You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible!"
While Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Du were having a conversation, more and more people gathered outside the Shen family's yard.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Even if you adopt Hanxi to me, I will make him filial to you. Your family obviously has three sons, so just adopt Hanxi to me. Xiangnan and Xiangxi are brothers. I have already knelt down for you, how about I kowtow to you, second sister-in-law, please help me."
"You're dreaming! Are you going to shorten my life? Madam Du, I didn't expect you to be such a person! It's not like I can't afford to support you. I will never adopt my son!"
The people around were talking about it: "Xiang Nan's family, you think Xiang Xi's family is too pitiful. Anyway, you have three sons, why not adopt one to her."
"That's what I mean. They've already knelt down and kowtowed to you. I think the Xiangnan family is really hard-hearted."
People are naturally sympathetic to the weak. Mrs. Du was still in confinement after giving birth, her face was pale and there was a slap mark on her face. She was kowtowing and kneeling, so most of the discussions in the crowd were accusing Mrs. Wang of having no sympathy.
Wang was furious: "If you sympathize with her, then why don't you give your son to her? Why should she be right just because she is weak? It's not my fault that she can't give birth to a son, so why are you trying to snatch my son away?"
It's true that the Shen family is having an easy time. There are actually one or two people in the crowd who want to adopt their sons to the Du family.
"Xiang Xi, if it doesn't work out, I will reluctantly give my son to you for adoption, so that you will have someone to break pots for in the future."
