Fu Jun was just concerned about whether it was a boy or a girl. He hadn't really looked at the appearance carefully. After hearing what Fu's mother said, he used his hand to push away the sheet covering the child's face and looked at the child carefully.
The gap was indeed quite large, and the thought of being cuckolded came to his mind, but he was still unwilling to believe that Zhang Xiaoqin would cheat on him. After all, they were sticking together all day at that time, and even if Zhang Xiaoqin had the ability to fly, it was impossible for her to cheat on a man under his nose.
He thought about it and convinced himself in his heart.
"As for this child! They are all the same. They will be fine once they grow up. Didn't you say I was ugly when I was born? Now I am not ugly, am I? Mother, don't let your imagination run wild. Although she is a granddaughter, she is still the child of the Fu family. You just need to help me raise her. When I am a hundred years old, at least there will be someone to see me off to my death, right?"
Fu Jun not only convinced himself, but also persuaded Fu's mother with a smile.
Mother Fu frowned, lowered her head and looked carefully at the child in her arms again and again. Although children all look similar, there is really no trace of Fu Jun on this child's face!
Even with Fu Jun's seemingly reasonable advice, it had no effect on her, and she was still uneasy.
At this time, Wu Ju came back from outside, exhausted. She didn't know what she had been doing outside. On her way back, she heard that Zhang Xiaoqin had given birth, so she hurried back to visit Zhang Xiaoqin.
"I heard that my daughter gave birth. What was it?" Wu Ju asked anxiously as she walked quickly into the main room.
Before Fu's mother could reply, she had already walked over. Seeing the "black child" in Fu's mother's arms, she complained without restraint, "Why is he so ugly? He didn't even inherit one-tenth of my Xiaoqin's appearance."
When Mrs. Fu heard this, she felt even more uneasy.
"Yeah, we're also wondering why this child didn't inherit any of Xiaoqin and Ajun's good qualities. People who don't know would think we picked him up."
Mother Fu's words were full of hidden meaning, and Wu Ju was unable to react for a while. She was still in the mood to care about whether the child was a boy or a girl.
She opened the swaddling sheet that wrapped the baby to check whether it was a boy or a girl.
When she saw it was a daughter, her face fell. She had also hoped that Zhang Xiaoqin would have a son. Having experienced the pain of losing a child before her, she knew even more how important a son was.
But no matter how disappointed she was, she would not be so foolish as to destroy her daughter's prestige in front of outsiders and boost others' ambitions.
"My daughter is great! She is caring." She said loudly with a smile. It seemed like she was talking to herself, but she said it unusually loudly, clearly for Fu's family to hear.
Fu Jun and his mother did not respond and continued to feed the child sugar water.
Seeing that they ignored her, Wu Ju didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards Zhang Xiaoqin's room.
As she walked, she recalled what Fu's mother had just said. When Shumei called her, she didn't come to her senses to respond.
"Mother, come here!"
She muttered to herself quietly, "Picked up? Picked up? Picked up? No, this damn old woman, isn't this saying that my daughter is having an affair?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Wait a moment, I have to go and deal with them." Wu Ju said, and went back to the main room.
She yelled at Fu's mother, who was sitting there nonchalantly, "You sweet-mouthed old woman, what did you mean by that? What do you mean by the child being adopted? Aren't you saying my daughter is cheating on your son? You have no conscience. My daughter went through so much hardship carrying a baby for ten months, giving birth to a child for your Fu family. And now, she just came back from the brink of death, and you're slandering her behind her back like this."
"I didn't say anything. You said it yourself." Mother Fu responded in a low voice, without any confidence.
Fu Jun simply couldn't believe that Zhang Xiaoqin would betray him. He tried hard to convince himself that this was 100% his own flesh and blood.
"Haha... You have the guts to suspect but not the guts to admit it? Do you dare to swear that this is not what you meant?" Wu Ju pointed at Fu Mama's nose, wishing she could rush up and have a fight with her.
Mother Fu was really angry. Her son was a coward. She was already feeling aggrieved and now she had to suffer the same anger as him. She was even more furious.
"Swearing? What right do I have to swear? Look for yourself. Hold her and see for yourself. This is irrefutable evidence. Do you think your eloquence can help your daughter hide her shame? Do you think everyone else is blind? Rumors will surely fly all over this child as soon as they meet. If you have the energy to argue with me here, why don't you go ask your daughter and see if she dares to swear?"
Mother Fu said this and stuffed the child in her arms into Wu Ju's hands.
"You're talking nonsense. You're clearly disgusted with having a girl, and you're trying to slander my daughter in every possible way. You..."
Zhang Xiaoqin, who was in the room, could clearly hear the two old women's deafening quarrel. She wanted to drag her still weak body out and stop them. But she didn't dare. She felt guilty. She knew very well whose child it was.
The two old women were arguing so fiercely that Fu Jun couldn't stand it any longer.
He yelled, "Stop arguing. If the child is mine, she's mine. Her surname is Fu, her father is Fu Jun, and her mother is Zhang Xiaoqin. Don't worry about it. Let those who want to gossip be theirs."
Fu Jun's loud roar scared the two old women into shutting up.
Shumei was relieved to hear Fu Jun defending her. It seemed that Fu Jun still stood up for her, even after having a daughter.
