Although she spoke softly, her tone still had some of her old style.
"Daughter? You've only appeared in recent years, and as soon as you came back you asked me for her. Didn't you send her to an orphanage? Why are you coming to my house looking for her?"
"I told you to send her to an orphanage, but I also told you to take her back in a few months! Don't tell me you let her stay in the orphanage for so many years?" Zhang Xiaoqin grabbed Niu Wa's collar, looking like she was going to accuse him.
When Niu Wa heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
"Look, you're not here, and I can't make a decision on my own. Besides, I can't take care of a child by myself!"
"You...you, stop talking nonsense and come with me to find the child." Zhang Xiaoqin pulled Niu Wa and walked out of the house.
"You're so blatant, aren't you afraid that our secret will be exposed?"
Zhang Xiaoqin kept pulling Niu Wa towards the village entrance, turning a deaf ear to what he said. She even asked Niu Wa, completely off-topic, "Do you visit her often?"
"This... yes, yes, of course." Niu Wa spoke hesitantly, obviously not confident.
"How often do you go there?"
"At first, I went there every few days, but later on, I went only once a month. You know, but I have to make a living too! I can't sacrifice my own life just to see her every day, can I?"
"You, you, you...you are her biological father. If not for her, who will you do for her? You selfish guy."
"You are still her biological mother! Why didn't you just leave and haven't been seen for several years? Now that you think of your child, it's the pot calling the kettle black. It's the same, no one is better than the other." Niu Wa argued in a low voice, looking aggrieved.
"You..." Zhang Xiaoqin was so angry that she wanted to slap Niu Wa.
The villagers passing by looked at the two of them pulling each other and gave them strange looks. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqin stopped her hand that was about to hit Niu Wa in the face.
The two of them continued walking towards the village entrance. After seeing the villagers walk away, she continued to ask Niu Wa, "How long has it been since you last visited her?"
Niu Wa counted on his fingers, then smiled awkwardly and replied, "Six months, probably!" Seeing Zhang Xiaoqin's glare, he immediately changed his words, "No, no, no, it's more than five months, not as long as six months."
"You're truly more cruel than a tiger, leaving Jiaorong in the orphanage for half a year without even visiting her. Niu Wa, Niu Wa, you're incredible. I... I'm not in the mood to pursue this with you right now. I just want to see my daughter. Nothing else matters."
At this time, the bus stopped in front of them, and Zhang Xiaoqin got on without hesitation.
Niu Wa was a step behind and was scolded by Zhang Xiaoqin again. At Zhang Xiaoqin's urging, Niu Wa followed reluctantly and they found two empty seats and sat down next to each other.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The child can't run away."
"Of course you're not anxious. I..." Zhang Xiaoqin paused and continued, "A heartless person like you, of course, won't be anxious. I'm afraid even holding your poop and pee won't make you anxious."
"Isn't that the truth? You've been gone for four or five years, and suddenly you're back. As soon as you come back, you act like a madman. I really don't understand why you're so anxious."
Zhang Xiaoqin looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, her expression became serious, and she stopped talking nonsense with Niu Wa.
Her life had been a whirlwind and muddle-headed one. Compared to many of her peers, she had truly lived a good life, never worrying about food or clothing. She had worn the most expensive clothes, tasted the finest delicacies, and lived in the most luxurious houses.
She recalled her miserable life and finally squeezed out tears of regret.
This time when she went out, she did not go to find Fu Jun, but hooked up with a rich old man. She lived with that old man for four years, enjoying the life of a rich wife and the life of a rich man for four years.
She hadn't originally planned to return; she simply wanted to spend the rest of her life there, enjoying a happy life. For her, money was happiness; everything else was fleeting. Children! Love! A husband in name only! She didn't care about any of it.
This world has always been a place where everyone shines, even if she is gone, the earth will still turn.
With Jiang Fu around for the two older sons, she was redundant. Fu Jiaorong would grow up just fine in the orphanage without her, and as for her mother, she didn't have to worry about her. Even if she starved to death, her mother would definitely find a way to survive for her.
Unfortunately, sooner or later, you will have to pay for your actions. God still has eyes, and you will reap what you sow.
