As Shumei walked out of the main room, Zhang Xiaoqin called her, "Hey, hey, hey."
She turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaoqin, holding the child, leaning against the wall on the porch. Her expression was no longer as arrogant as before, but rather a little embarrassed.
"Sister, is there anything else?"
"Well—have you any money? Lend me some."
"ah?"
"Why are you so surprised? It's up to you to lend it to me or not. Is there any need to make such an exaggerated expression?"
"Sister, it's not—I—you know, my life is not easy, and I'm not as well off as you. It's not that I don't want to lend it, it's that I really can't afford it."
Zhang Xiaoqin refused to believe it. She assumed that Shumei was unwilling to lend it. Her face was full of displeasure and she said impatiently, "Alright, stop making excuses. Go do what you need to do and don't be an eyesore here."
Shumei didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she turned around and left.
Zhang Xiaoqin thought about it and wanted to keep some money on her first, so that if Fu Jun came back and really kicked her out, she would have money on her side and would not starve or freeze.
But she didn't know how tight Shumei's life was and where she would get the spare money to give her.
Zhang Xiaoqin thought that even Kang Shumei, who was the easiest to fool, couldn't make any money here, so it would probably be difficult for others as well.
She paced back and forth in the yard, thinking that just sitting there and waiting for death was not a solution. She couldn't just tie her hands and feet like this and wait for Fu Jun to come back and kick her out, right?
After thinking it over again and again, the idea of giving the child away came to her mind again. As long as there was no child, she would never admit to having an affair with Niu Wa, and Fu Jun would definitely not be able to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoqin, who hadn't seen Niu Wa for a few days, went to Niu Wa with her child in her arms.
Niu Wa was originally taking a rest at home with his legs crossed and barefoot. When he saw Zhang Xiaoqin coming, he was flattered and quickly put on his tattered cloth shoes to greet her.
"What have you been doing all this time? You worried me to death, so you brought your daughter here too? Come, come, my sweet girl, let daddy hold you for a moment. Come, give me a kiss!"
Although the child was only eight or nine months old, he was still shy. When he saw Niu Wa coming over, he quickly hugged Zhang Xiaoqin tightly.
"If you leave, be careful not to scare the child. Are you trying to lure the whole village here?"
Niu Wa finally let go of his hand that was about to hold the child, and instead pinched Zhang Xiaoqin's butt. He put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear with a lecherous look, "You can't hold the little one, but you can at least hold the older one, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqin slapped Niu Wa's hand, pushing it away. "Get out of the way. I have something serious to tell you."
Zhang Xiaoqin told Niu Wa everything that Fu's mother knew about their affair, and that Fu's mother wanted to find Fu Jun and kick her out of the Fu family.
Niu Wa acted as if nothing had happened after hearing this. "This isn't such a bad thing. Our family of three can finally be reunited, right?"
"You're such a jerk! Don't you see? With your character, you can't even support yourself, how can you think of supporting me and the child? Besides, if this matter really gets out of hand, I'll be the one who suffers, okay? I don't know what those gossipy women in the village will say about me then."
Zhang Xiaoqin, who has always been thicker-skinned than a city wall, is now worried about her reputation. It really is the time of death - her words are also good.
"Then what can we do? Will you deny it even if you're beaten to death?"
"I've already figured out a solution."
"Since you've made up your mind, why are you still frowning? I finally get to meet you, but you don't even give me a good look." Niu Wa sat back on the stool, looking relaxed and contented.
"As for our relationship, as long as I deny it, they can't do anything to me. It won't be easy to kick me out of the Fu family. But, after all, this child is not Fu Jun's. I heard that medicine is so advanced nowadays. If they just take the child to the hospital for verification, the truth will naturally come out. If he forces himself on me and takes me to court, I'm afraid I won't have any excuse to stop him. So, I don't want to give them that opportunity."
Niu Wa listened to Zhang Xiaoqin carefully. He understood what she meant, but he just didn't understand what she meant by not letting them have this opportunity.
He didn't ask or say anything, just stared at Zhang Xiaoqin, waiting for what she would say next.
Zhang Xiaoqin, perhaps tired of holding the child, pulled Niu Wa up from the stool and sat down herself. "I plan to make the child disappear in front of them."
"What?"
Niu Wa may have misunderstood what Zhang Xiaoqin meant. He thought that Zhang Xiaoqin was going to cruelly kill his own child.
Zhang Xiaoqin was frightened by him and kicked Niu Wa on the leg.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you calling for help?"
Niu Wa rubbed his leg that was hurt by Zhang Xiaoqin's kick, but his eyes were always on the child.
"You wouldn't be so cruel, would you? They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!" Niu Wa stammered.
"Hey Niu Wa, what are you thinking? From what you said, you don't think I want to kill the child, do you?"
"Isn't it?"
"Nonsense, you think you're killing a chicken! This is a human being, can you just kill him like that?"
"But—but—you just said—"
"No wonder you've been single your whole life. Can't you think straight? How can you not be so stupid? I want to send the child away. If they can't find the child, they naturally can't do anything to me."
When Niu Wa heard this, the weight in his heart finally settled down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This child was his own, after all, so of course he was still worried about his life or death.
He muttered to himself, "That's good, that's good..." After muttering for a few words, he suddenly realized, "You want to send the child away? Where to?"
