Chapter 49

"What are you journalists talking about? You believe what a child says."

"Don't interfere with my business here, leave now, or I'll call the police."

"How can you be so evil, kid? You brought so many reporters here to harm me, didn't you?"

"I've explained to you before that I don't know you, so don't call me mom all the time. Is it fun to be so shameless?"

"If you like to scam people, go find those rich people. I'm just a junk seller. How can you be so scheming against me?"

"I can tell you that all the property I worked so hard to earn belongs to my son Wang Jiang. It has nothing to do with you. Don't let your delusions get you anywhere."

Nan Tao listened to the proprietress's voice and her gossipy heart burned. From what she heard, it sounded like a son who had been left behind came back to look for his relatives, but the proprietress denied recognizing him, and there seemed to be a lot of reporters around.

I looked down at the recipient written on the express delivery label in my hand - Wang Jiang. It turned out that this was the name of the fat yellow-haired man from yesterday, the boss lady's son.

Nan Tao's eyes sparkled as she pulled Yu Ze towards the crowd in a hurry, "There's something exciting ahead, son, let's hurry up."

When she ran to the crowd, she saw everyone standing in a circle watching the excitement. Nan Tao was circling on the outside, unable to find a gap to get in, so she had to tiptoe and poke her head inside.

Not only was Nan Tao curious and eating melons, but even the netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also angrily posting comments.

【Shoot closer, shoot closer, I can’t see it. 】

[The sound can be heard, but it cannot be seen.]

[I saw it, I saw it. Look, I know that boy. He is the boy who was making a lot of noise on all major platforms a few days ago about looking for his relatives.]

【What's his name? 】

【Let the cow go! 】

[Yes, yes, it was Niu Fang. I didn't expect the boss lady was the one he was looking for. No wonder I said the boss lady looked familiar yesterday. It turns out that the mother and son look alike.]

Nan Tao, who was keen on browsing her phone, naturally recognized Niu Fang. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. She said that why she disliked the boss's wife yesterday, it turned out that she was the evil person who abandoned her child and refused to admit it.

Tsk tsk tsk, is the boss lady blind? She gives up her clean, handsome, and top-grade son and chooses this ugly, fat, yellow-haired boy with no looks and no grades.

I really want to suggest that the boss lady go see an ophthalmologist.

While Nan Tao was complaining, she actively changed her position, trying to occupy the best view of the audience.

"I don't want your property. You can give it to anyone you want. I just want the alimony that I should have given you all these years." Niu Fang straightened his back neither humbly nor arrogantly. His eyes were firm and clear. He didn't yearn for maternal love at all, as if he was negotiating with a stranger.

Nan Tao sighed, how could there be anyone who does not desire maternal love? Throughout history, how many people have done many things to please their parents in order to desire their parents' love? Some people never wake up in their entire lives and humbly beg for their parents' love and put themselves in a difficult position. However, some people, like Niu Fang, have completely given up on their parents and only ask for what they deserve.

She has always been good at judging people. Niu Fang is not a money-hungry person. He must have some unspeakable secrets.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard my son's voice.

Nan Tao sighed, so that's how it is, she said it, there must be a reason why she had to do it.

[Alas, at such a young age, he has to bear a burden that life cannot bear. How pitiful.]

[With such good grades, the school principal and grade director tried to keep him, but he still dropped out. It turns out that it was all for his grandma? ]

[When Niu Fang was a child, his loving adoptive parents died in a car accident. Niu Fang's grandmother got up early and worked hard to collect garbage and sell waste to support Niu Fang's schooling. To make matters worse, his grandmother was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Niu Fang, who had just entered his second year of high school, had to drop out of school and work to earn money. ]

[The medical expenses were too high, so Niu Fang decided to ask his biological parents for support. He was willing to do anything to get some money for his grandmother's medical treatment.]

[Wow, this is a two-way rush... poor grandma and Niu Fang.]

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were originally enjoying the melon, but they were stunned when they saw the content "Have you eaten melon today?" floating on the screen.

[So that's how it is. If you are so pitiful, why don't you raise money for medical expenses online? ]

[Crowdfunding for medical expenses? He was trolled so much when he asked his parents for alimony. If he crowdfunds, wouldn't he be cyberbullied to the point of committing suicide? Aren't there enough examples like this? 】

[I feel so sorry for Niu Fang. The boss lady looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat him. But you saw yesterday that the yellow-haired man ordered the boss lady around at will. The boss lady worked hard without complaint, fearing that she would not take good care of her precious son. They were both born from her belly, so why is there such a big difference?]

[You don't understand. This is normal. At least the boss lady loves her own son. Unlike my mother, she only loves her nephew. I am just a piece of shit. It's better for me not to have a mother.]

[It’s the same in my family. I’m a boy, but my mother is biased and only loves her brother’s son.]

While netizens were indignant about Niu Fang, they also echoed the same treatment they encountered in their own lives.

Although Nan Tao in the live broadcast camera could not understand the boss lady's thoughts, she felt very sympathetic towards Niu Fang.

"Oh, you don't talk well, and you don't want my property, but you come to my house again and again? This time you even brought reporters to force me?! I tell you, no way! My money belongs to my son, a top student. Go back to where you came from."

"You reporters, get out of here right now and stop taking photos. I'll sue you for trespassing!"

"Your son of a top student?" Niu Fang sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

The lady boss couldn't stand the laughter. She widened her eyes in anger and wished she could eat beef. "What are you laughing at? My son Wang Jiang is so much better than you! He was admitted to the best middle school in the county this year. All the neighbors know about it. Don't you agree?"

Some of the people watching the excitement were nearby neighbors who knew the proprietress and, naturally, also knew that her son, Wang Jiang, had been admitted to the county's No. 1 Middle School this year.

"Yes, yes, Wang Jiang is a good student. My child was admitted to No. 2 Middle School this year. He is much better than my child."

"I know this. Wang Jiang's grades are very good. Even though he likes to talk aggressively, his academic performance is really good."

"That's right. Everyone knows that Wang Jiang is famous for his good grades. Kid, I think you should go back quickly. The boss lady is determined not to pay any attention to you."

The lady boss was overjoyed when she heard people praising her son. She raised her head proudly and looked around. Finally, her eyes fell on Niu Fang's face, and she looked at him with disdain: "You are so old but you don't go to school. You spend every day studying some crooked ways. You have the time and energy to ask your parents for money. You might as well focus on studying. You are so young but you know how to stir up trouble and bully others. Don't think you can threaten me just because there are reporters standing behind you. No way."

Neighbors and passersby thought this made sense, and they pointed fingers at Niu Fang, saying, "Child, listen to the advice of others. Your parents threw you away when you were young, which means they don't like you. What's the point of finding you?"

"Yes, it would be better to put all this energy into studying and serve the motherland when you grow up."

"I've seen a lot of people like this. They don't study hard and they do all kinds of things all the time."

"What kind of person is this? He looks innocent, but his heart is so evil."

Nan Tao saw Niu Fang's hands clenched into fists at his sides, and felt that he was still young and easily hurt by other people's words. She couldn't help but speak out in support, "He is not even an adult yet and he has to come out to find his biological parents. Maybe life is getting tough and he can't survive anymore?"

Everyone looked over here.

Nan Tao blinked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Everyone: “…”

When the lady boss saw that it was Nan Tao again, she jumped up in anger, "You again?! What are you doing here today?!"

Nan Tao shook the courier in her hand and said, "I'm here to deliver the courier."

The proprietress said: "You are not welcome here, get out now."

Nan Tao smiled innocently: "Aren't we all here enjoying the show? Why can't I watch it?"

The proprietress was reminded and once again waved her hand to shove the crowd of onlookers: "No one is allowed to look, get out, get out."

Everyone was enjoying the fun and eating the delicious melons, but was suddenly stopped and said unhappily, "We were speaking up for you just now, how can you not recognize the good in people? I think what this girl said is right, the little boy has traveled thousands of miles to find his biological parents, maybe he really has some unspeakable secrets."

"Yeah, I wanted to say it just now, but I didn't dare to say it."

"Look at that child's clothes. They've all been washed white. They're almost all made of patches."

"I'm so poor, how can I afford to go to school?"

"How pitiful."

Seeing that everyone sympathized with Niu Fang, the lady boss felt aggrieved as if she had eaten a fly. She glared at Niu Fang fiercely, saying it was all his fault. She had already said that she would not recognize him, but he insisted on making a big fuss and even went to the reporters.

The more Niu Fang acted like this, the less she would recognize him.

That's right, the proprietress recognized Niu Fang as her son at first sight when Niu Fang came to ask for money some time ago. After all, he looked so much like her and her ex-husband, as if they were carved from the same mold. She guessed at once that Niu Fang was her eldest son who was secretly sold by her own daughter-in-law.

But so what? Her brother's family was too poor, and his sister-in-law knelt down and cried, begging her to forgive her. She said she would not sell her children. Without income, she could not survive.

Her relationship with her ex-husband broke down, and she was happily in love with her new boyfriend. Her newly born eldest son, a burden, was sold by her sister-in-law, which just solved her problem.

He almost dragged her down back then, and now he came to force her again. The boss's wife hated Niu Fang very much.

The proprietress did not hide her emotions at all and looked at Niu Fang coldly, "What do you want?"

Niu pursed his lips tightly and clenched his hands at his sides, "I don't want anything, just give me the alimony for these years."

The boss lady said: "Why should I give it to you? If you want to ask for it, go to your father. It has nothing to do with me."

Niu Fang looked for his biological father, but his biological father said that as long as his biological mother was willing to give money, he would give it, otherwise he would not say a word.

"You both have to give it."

The lady boss didn't have time to pay attention to Niu Fang. "Wait a minute, take the reporter away quickly and don't let him get in my way and affect my business."

"Mom, why are there so many people at home?" An impatient and irritated voice came from far away.

The proprietress's expression immediately brightened up, and she pushed through the crowd with a smile on her face. She quickly grabbed her precious son's hand and asked him about his well-being, "Son, why did you come back at this time?"

Wang Jiang was impatient. "I can come back whenever I want. Why do you care so much? Who are these people? What are they doing in our house? Why are there reporters? What are they doing?"

The lady boss was used to her son's attitude towards her, and she didn't think there was anything wrong. She quickly explained, "Don't worry about them. Son, are you hungry? Do you want your mother to cook for you? Do you have enough money? Don't wrong yourself and don't save money for your mother, understand?"
