Chapter 229 Discussing Dai Yao's Stay or Departure
There are only five families with the surname Dai in Daijia Village, and one of them is the village chief.
They are distant relatives of the Dai family.
The Dai family was in chaos. The eldest son's wife sat on the ground crying. Liu Aihua kept exposing her evil deeds and didn't stop even when she was beaten by her.
The village chief was surrounded by people and came over, his brows furrowed. "What are you doing?"
"Village chief, you're here at the right time. I want to sue Zhang Tiancao for abusing Dai Yao!" Liu Aihua, with half of her face swollen, grabbed a handful of Zhang Tiancao fiercely, raised her head and started to complain.
The village chief glared at the two men of the Dai family who were not involved in the matter. The two men just stood by and smoked, allowing the two sisters-in-law to fight: "Why don't you pull them apart?"
At this time, Dai Yao was already full.
He hid tremblingly behind his grandmother, looking at everyone confusedly from time to time.
Chen Tang: "Village chief, we are here for the first time, and we are really sorry to bother you, but we didn't expect to encounter the Dai family abusing their child. Dai Yao is only five years old, but he doesn't even have enough to eat. I remember that when Comrade Dai Sheng died, he left a lot of pensions, and Dai Yao's mother even gave up her job to her sister-in-law for this child. As a village cadre, what do you think of this matter?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Dai family would not openly abuse the children, but it is true that they often did not have enough to eat.
It’s just that in today’s rural families, adults and children are already not getting enough to eat.
Although he is related to the Dai family, he is not very close. As long as they don't abuse the children, the village chief can't do anything about it.
Normally, Dai Yao had to go to the fields at a young age. The village chief had told him this several times, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dai family did not listen and refuted him by saying that every child in other families does not go to the fields.
But Dai Yao was raised to be timid. Whenever he asked him, he said that the Dai family treated him well, which made it impossible for him to intervene.
Even when things got to this point, the village chief did not speak up for the Dai family.
"I do have some responsibility for this matter. I wonder where these two comrades came from?"
He was afraid that kidnappers might disguise themselves as soldiers and steal the children. Although he knew it was impossible because they had a military vehicle, he remained vigilant.
Chen Tang showed the village chief his travel documents, and the village chief felt relieved.
"You two female soldiers, do you want to take the child away?"
In fact, he also agreed with them taking the child away. Their Daijia Village was not a poor and remote place. Because it was close to the county town, many relatives in the village had stable jobs in the county town.
They also attach great importance to education. Primary schools have been built and the tuition fees are cheap now. Generally, children aged five or six can go to school.
The Dai family's ten-year-old eldest daughter and five-year-old second son are both in school. Uncle Dai's family has a four-year-old child who has also been sent to school. Only Dai Yao has reached the age but has not yet gone to school.
The village chief talked to Zhang Tiancao several times, but she refused on the grounds that children don't like going to school.
He thought that if these two female military comrades could take the child away and adopt him, it would be much better than leaving him in the countryside.
Chen Tang saw that this village chief was not like the village chief of Dahe Village who only helped his relatives and ignored others, so he nodded and agreed: "We have this plan."
"I don't agree." Zhang Tiancao suddenly jumped out, and she hid behind her man in panic: "Dai Yao just likes to go out and play, I didn't abuse the child, the child just likes to stay in our house, if you don't believe me, ask Dai Yao."
Dai Jun coughed lightly, walked over to pull Dai Yao out, and lowered his head to coax him: "Yaoyao, tell them that you just want to stay in our house and don't want to go anywhere."
Dai Yao was suddenly being stared at by everyone and his face became panicked. He subconsciously tried to hide behind his grandmother, but his arm was held tightly by his uncle and he couldn't pull it free.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and grabbed Dai Jun's hand. Dai Jun's face turned pale with pain, and he wailed, but was thrown to the side by her.
Zhang Tiancao hurriedly tried to pull her man back: "How could you hit my man!"
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him coldly, with such intimidation that Zhang Tiancao was frightened and couldn't utter a word.
Chen Tang stepped forward and pulled the child to her side. Perhaps because Dai Yao had just eaten the food she gave him, he was a little scared at the moment, but he did not resist her.
"Please don't try to persuade the child to speak. The child's wishes are important, but he has been brainwashed by you for years and taught to work for the Dai family. What he says is no longer his own will."
"What, what doesn't matter, he just likes to follow us." Zhang Tiancao avoided his gaze, just unwilling to let Chen Tang take the child away.
After all, they received the pension, and if the child left, wouldn't they have to give it back?
As for this house, the old man gave the title deed to the old woman before he died. They searched for a long time but couldn't find it. They were so angry that they almost starved the old woman to death. If they weren't afraid that the title deed would be lost in the future and that the second brother and his wife would make trouble, they wouldn't want to give her anything to eat.
Old women with bound feet couldn't even go out to the fields, so they could only eat for free at home, which was a complete waste of food.
Chen Tang suddenly asked, "This family should be the home of Old Madam Dai, right? Village chief, Old Madam Dai is Dai Yao's grandmother and the head of the Dai family. The child is said to be raised by his uncle, but in fact he is still with his grandmother.
Grandma, we want to take this child away and take good care of him in the future. What do you think? "
Old Madam Dai was not a person with many ideas and was also timid. She wanted to agree, but when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law's gloomy face, she trembled for a moment, wanting to agree but not daring to agree.
Chen Tang said to the village chief: "How about this, village chief, grandma, the three of us discuss whether Dai Yao should stay or go."
"Why are you three discussing this? I'm Dai Yao's uncle, so if you want to discuss something, you should discuss it with me." Dai Jun interrupted unwillingly.
Liu Aihua sneered disdainfully: "Mom is Yaoyao's guardian, you just live with mom, this house was left to mom by dad."
After Dai Yao leaves, maybe these can be left to them.
Liu Aihua tried hard to find fault with Dai Jun and the others, just wanting to redistribute the house. The old man insisted on dividing the family property and took so much pension. He originally said that he and his wife would come to live with them, but he died before he could come.
There was no movement with the money, so she guessed that Dai Jun and Zhang Tiancao had taken it away.
The village chief pointed at Dai Jun and the others and said, "Dai's second daughter-in-law is right. Your mother is Dai Yao's guardian. It is none of your business whether Dai Yao stays or goes."
Shen Tang helped the old lady to go to the room to discuss.
Dai Jun and Zhang Tiancao wanted to eavesdrop, but when they saw Su Xiaoxiao blocking the way, they stopped immediately.
The two exchanged glances and secretly discussed what to do.
If Dai Yaozhen is adopted by them, the pension they have will be gone.
And his wife's job is a sure-fire golden rice bowl!
Before the two of them could finish discussing anything, Chen Tang, Chang, and Grandma Dai all came out.
