Chapter 31 Am I really your biological child?
Xie Lanlan glared hatefully at Xie Zhizhi, "Mom, come hang me at the army base!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hua said to the guards beside him, "Tell the sentries on duty to be careful and take down anyone who is causing trouble."
Xie Lanlan "..."
Tian Fang "..."
"I...I'll hang myself at the house you were allocated!"
Wen Jinzhou then told Xie Zhizhi, "I'll take you to that compound tomorrow and make it clear to the guards at the gate that unrelated personnel should not go in and harass the relevant family members."
Xie Zhizhi nodded again, like a chick pecking at rice.
Only Tian Fang was so angry that her head was buzzing.
Chen Hua then asked Xie Hongchao, "Is there anything else?"
If not, please do!
After Chen Hua finished speaking, the guards beside him stepped forward to see him off.
"Shall we check the documents they approved?"
“If not, take them to the station,” Chen Hua added.
The guards walked up to Xie Hongchao and his group and said, "Please come in!"
Before Tian Fang and the others could do anything, Zhou Xie started crying again, "Dad, Mom, save me, save me! I don't want to live with this bad woman, I don't want to wash my own clothes, I don't want to eat vegetables, boohoo~ save me!"
This time, Tian Fang couldn't help but burst into tears.
Unable to threaten Xie Zhizhi, who seemed to be possessed, Tian Fang felt as if her heart was being fried in oil as she watched her only grandson suffer so much.
She cried and said to Xie Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, I'm begging you, please take good care of Xiao Xie, he's your own nephew!"
Tian Fang was about to kneel down when she spoke, but the guards stopped her without any mercy.
Unable to kneel down, Tian Fang could only continue to cry and beg, "Xiao Xie is the child we've raised with our utmost care. He's still so young, how could he possibly know how to wash clothes!"
Xie Zhizhi flicked non-existent dust off her hands and said in a emotionless tone, "He's eight years old, and he can't even wash his own two sets of clothes?"
“I remember when I was his age, I could wash the whole family’s clothes and cook for the whole family.”
Upon hearing Xie Zhizhi's words, Tian Fang subconsciously glanced at Wen Jinzhou in front of her, a hint of guilt flashing quickly in her cloudy eyes.
But she cried even louder, “Children all went through that back then.”
Xie Zhizhi didn't believe it: "But Xie Hongchao, who is nine years older than me, doesn't have to wash, and Xie Lanlan, who is fifteen years older than me, doesn't have to do chores either!"
Xie Zhizhi couldn't help but wonder, "Am I really your biological daughter?"
Xie Zhizhi blurted out these words unconsciously, as if she were speaking up for the original owner of this body.
But after she finished speaking, Tian Fang, Xie Hongchao, and Xie Lanlan all changed their expressions.
Although Tian Fang quickly concealed her true feelings.
But Xie Lanlan and Xie Hongchao, being quite young, looked very flustered.
And they all subconsciously looked at Tian Fang.
As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Tian Fang panicked for only a moment before her expression turned cold, and she began to loudly accuse Xie Zhizhi, "You have no conscience."
"You want to move to the city to enjoy a comfortable life, you don't want to take care of your own mother, you're afraid that I, as your mother, will be a burden to you, and you don't want to support me in my old age, so just say so."
"You've already said you're not their biological child, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
She had been making a scene and refusing to leave, but after scolding Xie Zhizhi, she immediately grabbed Xie Lanlan and called out to Xie Hongchao, "Let's go. She's not afraid of being struck by lightning, she just wants to have a bad conscience!"
"As long as she's not afraid of being struck by lightning."
She left, grumbling and cursing, with Xie Hongchao and the others.
But the seed of doubt was planted in Xie Zhizhi's heart.
Because of seeing Wen Jinzhou, because Xie Zhizhi asked, "Is she the Xie family's biological daughter?"
Tian Fang couldn't even notice her grandson crying miserably.
When Zhou Xie saw that everyone in his family had left, he immediately stopped crying loudly and only sobbed softly.
Xie Zhizhi glanced down at him and thought he was quite sensible.
I just don't know when his family will be willing to come and redeem him.
After Tian Fang and the others left, Chen Hua said to Xie Zhizhi, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, be sure to tell the army. Don't try to bear it all by yourself."
Xie Zhizhi was very touched. "Yes, yes, definitely, definitely."
"I'm sorry for causing you and the troops trouble today."
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xie Zhizhi didn't want to take up any more of their time. She led the sobbing Zhou Xie and said goodbye.
Chen Hua reminded him from behind, "Be sure to tell me if you encounter any difficulties."
Xie Zhizhi said with great emotion, "Definitely, definitely."
He exudes resilience.
In Chen Hua's opinion, Xie Zhizhi was a very resilient woman.
Otherwise, anyone with a family like the Xie family would have found a rope and hanged themselves without Tian Fang threatening them to do so.
I've seen biased people before, but I've never seen anyone this biased.
Xie Zhizhi left with a sobbing Zhou Xie.
Wen Jinzhou greeted Chen Hua and immediately followed Xie Zhizhi.
Looking at Wen Jinzhou's obsequious manner, Chen Hua said to the guard beside him, "Isn't Battalion Commander Wen being a little too attentive?"
Guard: ...Uh, it seems so, but...can I say that?
Chen Hua shook his head. "I'll have to talk to him about it later!"
——
Xie Zhizhi pulled Zhou Xie toward the dormitory building. Once they were out of Chen Hua's sight, she immediately let go of Zhou Xie's hand and quickened her pace.
Zhou Xie looked disgusted when she led him by the hand.
But she was left behind, and Zhou Xie ran after her, afraid of losing her.
He may have pinned his hopes on his family before, but just now his family has decisively abandoned him.
He was the one who wasn't chosen.
Although he didn't understand why, he was indeed abandoned.
Xie Zhizhi deliberately walked very fast in order to break down the child's defenses.
They hadn't gone far when they heard a voice behind them calling, "Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."
Xie Zhizhi stopped in her tracks. "Battalion Commander Wen!"
Wen Jinzhou nodded. "Shall we go get some food?"
Xie Zhizhi nodded.
Wen Jinzhou then asked, "Together?"
Xie Zhizhi nodded.
The two then walked side by side, with Zhou Xie following behind.
They were still talking badly about the Xie family.
Wen Jinzhou said to Xie Zhizhi, "Your mother really doesn't act like a mother. She's so mean to you."
"Shouldn't mothers always be gentle and loving towards their children?"
When talking about "a mother's gentleness," Wen Jinzhou softened his demeanor and began to describe his mother as "a very gentle and kind person."
"She never hits or scolds me or my brother, and she adores my sister!"
“My mother would cry if my sister got a small cut on her finger.”
"If either my brother or I make my sister angry, then we're going to suffer."
“She would punish us severely until my sister calmed down…”
Wen Jinzhou kept telling Xie Zhizhi how much his mother doted on his younger sister.
It was dark, and Xie Zhizhi couldn't see the expression on his face, but she could hear the word "envy" in his tone.
It's clear that the Wen family favors women over men.
Xie Zhizhi felt a little envious of that girl.
She is favored by her parents and doted on by her two older brothers; she can be the family's little princess.
Xie Zhizhi sincerely said, "I really envy your sister!"
Wen Jinzhou belatedly realized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say these things in front of you, I..."
Xie Zhizhi waved her hand, "I've never experienced such favoritism. Just listening to others makes me feel happy."
Upon hearing Xie Zhizhi's words, Wen Jinzhou suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
