"Big sister, please get up quickly. We'll keep her." The woman was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She helped Wu Ju up and took Shuang Wan from her arms. "We also lost a child in our old age and were thinking of adopting a child to ease our grief. We met this child today, which means this child is destined for us. We will definitely treat her as our own and raise her well."
"Thank you, big sister. Good people will be rewarded. I feel at ease leaving the child to you. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After saying this, Wu Ju turned around and left without even looking at Shuang Wan. She was even secretly happy in her heart that she had finally sent this unlucky star away, and a ferocious smile appeared on her face.
Shumei returned to her parents' home and knelt before Kang Yong and his wife, and Kang Fadada and his wife, kowtowed and begged bitterly. Her forehead was red and swollen, tears were streaming down her face, and her eyes were swollen.
"It's so unlucky. It's the twelfth lunar month, and you come back crying. Do you want to bring all the bad luck to your family? Do you think your father runs a bank? Where would he get the spare money to lend you? We are still tightening our belts to make ends meet. Go back to the Zhang family." Kang Yong didn't give Shumei a good look at all.
It is said that a daughter's parents' home is her eternal safe haven, and that parents are their children's eternal umbrella of protection. But now that Shumei is in trouble, her own biological parents are worse than outsiders. Not only do they watch coldly, but they also speak hurtful words to her.
Even though Kang Yong spoke so coldly to her, Shumei still did not give up. She moved her knees and crawled to Kang Yong's knees, hugged Kang Yong's thighs and continued to cry and beg, "Dad, Mom, please, please help me just this once! In my next life, I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you."
Kang Yong kicked her to the ground. Lei Ting was furious. "Get out! Even if you cry yourself to death, I can't come up with the money. Your sister-in-law is still pregnant! If you scare my grandson, I...I will beat you to death."
Shumei cried even harder. Su Kui sat beside her, holding her eldest granddaughter, and ignored Shumei's heartbroken crying. Shumei turned around and crawled to her to beg her, but she said nothing, just gave Shumei a sympathetic look, shook her head, and hid in the house holding her granddaughter.
"Dad, please help my sister." Brother Kang Fadada couldn't stand his parents' indifference anymore, so he stood up and pleaded for Shumei.
"Help? Did you hear how much she said? Tens of thousands, do you have that much? Even if I sold myself, I couldn't come up with that much. Stop pretending to be rich and take your wife back to the house."
Kang Fadada really wanted to help Shumei, but his father was right. Even if the Kang family turned everything upside down, they still couldn't come up with such an astronomical sum. But after all, she was his own sister, so he couldn't just sit there and watch! He helped Shumei up from her kneeling position and said, "Sister, Dad is right. Our family can't afford such a large sum of money. How about I take you to our relatives to borrow some?"
"Don't go. If she can't pay it back, will you help her pay it back?" Kang Yong shouted sternly after hearing this.
"Human life is more important than anything else. We can talk about it later. When the car reaches the mountain, there must be a way out. Let's get over this hurdle first." Kang Fadada didn't listen to Kang Yong. He supported Shumei and walked out the door. "Wife, you go back to the room and rest. I'll go with my sister and be back soon."
Kang Fadada's wife was a good-tempered person and did not object to Kang Fadada's actions. But Kang Yong was furious and beat his chest and stamped his feet.
At the hospital, Wu Ju returned to the ward feeling quite accomplished. Seeing her return empty-handed, Zhang Binglin asked in confusion, "Where's Dabao?"
"Give it away?"
“You, you, you…”
"What's wrong with me? Should I let her stay in the Zhang family and wait for death? Giving her to a rich man might save her life. Besides, she is an unlucky star. She has brought bad luck to her father since she was born. Who knows what troubles she will cause in the future. Wouldn't this make everyone happy?" Wu Ju's words were very high-sounding and eloquent. She could even make black turn white.
Zhang Binglin, who was always tongue-tied, had nothing to say in return. He could only sigh and sulk by himself.
"Come, let me hold Xiaobao!"
This was the only bloodline of the Zhang family, so Wu Ju naturally treated it like a precious jewel. With the previous experience as a lesson, Zhang Binglin naturally had to be wary of Wu Ju, which was why he refused to hand the child over to her. He turned his back and held the child tightly in his arms.
"What? You won't even let me hold my own granddaughter?"
"Dabao is also your granddaughter, how do you treat her?"
"Didn't I say I was saving her?"
"You're a mother too, so you naturally know the bond between mother and child. How can Shumei and Jizong bear it if you force them apart like this? As the saying goes, a son doesn't dislike a poor family, and a son doesn't dislike his mother's ugliness. Who are you to make the decision for them? You should think about how to explain it to your son!"
"Hey! You, the taciturn old man, have finally come to your senses today. You're saying things that make sense. What do I have to explain? I have a clear conscience."
Wu Ju was truly heartless for being able to brazenly claim she had a clear conscience. How could she know they wouldn't be able to save Shuang Wan in the future without even trying? She was just trying to find a high-sounding excuse for her own selfish reasons.
Kang Fadada took Shumei all over the village and borrowed money from all his relatives, but in the end they still couldn't raise enough money for the surgery.
Shumei, distraught, returned to the hospital only to learn that her mother-in-law had given Dabao away. She completely collapsed. As a new mother, she no longer cared about Jizong's safety and snatched the child from Zhang Binglin's arms. She was like an angry she-wolf, her eyes ferocious and terrifying, and she snarled at Wu Ju, gnashing her teeth, "Where did you send Dabao? Are you trying to kill me?"
Wu Ju had never seen her so angry before, and she was really scared at the moment.
Ji Zong, lying on the bed, was also extremely anxious. Seeing that Wu Ju still refused to speak, he said, "Mother, even if I beg you, please tell me quickly."
