Now Wu Ju really regretted it. She regretted that she had doted on Zhang Xiaoqin too much, which led to her becoming what she is today.
This person becomes more and more understanding as she grows older. She has gone through so many ups and downs over the past few decades, and now when she thinks back on it, she feels that her method of disciplining her children was somewhat inappropriate.
"Mother, don't be angry! No matter who the child's father is, she is still your granddaughter, and I am her biological mother, right? You don't have to worry about that. I'm just worried that the child will look more and more like her father. Then I'm really afraid that the truth will come out."
Zhang Xiaoqin was quite open-minded. She looked as if nothing had happened and even comforted Wu Ju.
These are mother and son. If they were rivals, who knows how many earth-shattering farces would unfold.
"Well, you're right. As long as he's your biological child, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter who he looks like. Who says a child has to look like both parents? Even a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different? Just keep this to yourself and don't mention it to anyone again."
"Mother, even if I don't mention it, I don't think things will go smoothly. The child's biological father is in the village."
"What?" Wu Ju had just calmed down a little, but was shocked again by Zhang Xiaoqin.
Seeing Wu Ju like this, Zhang Xiaoqin smiled awkwardly.
Wu Ju continued to ask, "Who is it?"
Zhang Xiaoqin hesitated. After all, everyone in the village had seen how terrible Niu Wa was. She herself now despised Niu Wa. She had made such a mistake and left such a disastrous consequence because she was so hungry that she didn't care what she ate.
"Yes-yes-yes Niu Wa!"
Zhang Xiaoqin hesitated, but still said Niu Wa's name.
Wu Ju was stunned. She could hardly believe her ears.
"I regret it now, but it was really just a spur-of-the-moment thing. I didn't expect that I would get pregnant just that one time. It's too late to regret it now. When you were arguing just now, I thought about it for a long time. I had to come up with a foolproof plan and strike first."
Zhang Xiaoqin muttered something again, and Wu Ju finally came back to her senses.
"Don't make things worse. Just live peacefully and take one step at a time. This is known to heaven, earth, you, and me. No one else would dare to bring it up. Just keep your composure and don't lose your composure first."
"Mom, I've thought of a way that will allow me to rest easy in the future." Zhang Xiaoqin said in a low voice with a mysterious look on her face.
"What's the solution?"
"Look! You were able to give your eldest granddaughter away back then. Why don't you do the same thing again and help me this time?"
In order to save herself from worry and to prevent future troubles, she was so cruel that she wanted to give her newborn child away.
"What do you mean?" Wu Ju couldn't believe her ears, couldn't believe the obvious meaning. She pretended to be confused and asked, wanting to hear it clearly, so that Zhang Xiaoqin could express the implicit meaning herself.
"Find an opportunity to secretly take the child away and give him to someone else, so that he won't be an eyesore in front of me. Out of sight, out of mind."
“You—you—you—”
Wu Ju was so angry she was speechless. After all, this was her own flesh and blood. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. She had never imagined her own daughter could be so cruel.
She pointed at Zhang Xiaoqin with trembling fingers, and was so angry that she couldn't speak a complete sentence.
But she didn't think about the fact that Zhang Xiaoqin had become like this because of her experience. If she hadn't been so cruel as to abandon her own granddaughter, Zhang Xiaoqin wouldn't have followed her example and come up with such a conscienceless plan.
At this time, the door was pushed open by Fu Jun, and he came in with a bowl of steaming poached eggs in sugar water.
Wu Ju and Zhang Xiaoqin felt a little guilty and quickly pretended nothing had happened.
"Xiaoqin, come here, eat it while it's hot to replenish your energy." Fu Jun brought the bowl to Zhang Xiaoqin.
Zhang Xiaoqin was holding the child in her arms and put the child down before she could react.
Wu Ju quickly and kindly reached out to take the child and held it in her arms, "Give me the child, and eat it while it's hot."
Zhang Xiaoqin took the bowl and started eating.
Boyi didn't mention the child. He waited beside her until she finished eating, then cleared the empty bowl and started to leave. But just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Xiaoqin, while the eggs were boiling, I picked a name for the child. Do you like it? Fu Jiaorong, Jiao means beautiful, and Rong means lotus emerging from water."
Zhang Xiaoqin glanced at the child with charcoal-black hair and felt that using this name for a child was a desecration of the beautiful meaning of these words.
She frowned and said nothing.
Wu Juzhen, who was not familiar with the name, quickly said, "What a good name! Fu Jiaorong. As the saying goes, a girl changes a lot when she grows up. She might be ugly when she's little, but she'll definitely be a top-notch beauty when she grows up. Let's call it Fu Jiaorong! What do you think, Xiaoqin?"
Wu Ju winked at Zhang Xiaoqin as she spoke, and Zhang Xiaoqin finally responded, "Okay, Nu is the child's father, so you decide on the name. If you think it's good, then let's call her Fu Jiaorong."
Only then did Fu Jun walk out the door with his bowl of rice.
Wu Ju didn't forget to add, "Fu Jun, close the door. Xiaoqin just gave birth and can't stand the wind."
Fu Jun responded and closed the door when he went out.
After hearing Fu Jun's footsteps fade away, Wu Ju finally started to scold Zhang Xiaoqin, "You heartless thing! This is your flesh after all. How can you say you're giving it away?"
"What's the big deal? It's not like you're going to kill her. Besides, didn't you treat your own granddaughter the same way? All the county magistrate has to do is set fire to the house and forbid the people from lighting lamps."
