"Fu Ni, you have to think carefully. You will live with your mother and grandmother, and you will not have any contact with the Liu family in the future."
Su Hong turned her head and hugged Fu Ni in her arms.
"Well, I don't want to go back to the Liu family. The Liu family only likes my brother, and no one likes me.
I didn't have enough food to eat at the Liu family. There was endless work to do every day, and I would be beaten if I worked slowly.
I like my current home. My grandparents love me, and my mother loves me too. She will hug me to sleep at night.
My eldest brother also loves me. He buys me candies and new clothes.
My second brother and Panpan would take me out to play and give me delicious food.
Please don't send me back, Mom. When I grow up, I will be filial to my grandparents and Mom."
Fu Ni finished her words tremblingly, unable to control the panic in her heart any longer. She buried her head in Su Hong's arms and burst into tears.
These past few days, the little girl has been living in fear. She is afraid that her current good life will be shattered by her biological parents like a beautiful dream.
She really didn't want to go back to the Liu family. Although she was still young and didn't understand what it meant to favor boys over girls, she could clearly feel that everyone in the family loved her brother and she was an insignificant existence at home.
She didn't understand why her parents pretended to come and see her since they didn't like her.
In the past few days, Xiao Funi has developed a stress reaction to the voices of Liu Jinshui and Zhang Yuejiao. Her face turns pale and her whole body trembles when she hears their voices.
"Good Funi, don't cry, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can take you away.
Your eldest brother had a trick up his sleeve and asked the Liu family to write a certificate of severance. Now you belong to the Zhang family and are my, Su Hong's, daughter.
Su Hong held Fu Ni in her arms and patted her back gently.
"Xiaohong! Funi really treats you as her own mother. After you left, she kept sleeping in your east wing and refused to sleep with me no matter what.
Don’t look at her young age, but she knows right from wrong, and knows who is close to her.
After hearing Su Hong's statement, the old lady felt relieved.
To be honest, she was really afraid that her daughter-in-law would get angry and ask Zhang Yuejiao to take Fu Ni away.
The scene when my eldest grandson brought Fu Ni home is still vivid in my mind.
At that time, the little girl was so thin that her bones were visible, and her body was covered with wounds. No one knew how much hardship and suffering she had endured in the Liu family.
"Since Fu Ni is willing to stay, it's easy. When we went to Liu's house to transfer our household registration, Director Xiao from the Subdistrict Office and two police officers were present.
Liu Qi and Li Shufen, two old ladies, said with all their might that they agreed to sever ties.
If they continue to cause trouble, the subdistrict office and the public security bureau will naturally deal with them.”
At that time, Zhang Xiangnan had already returned to the army, and this matter was handled by Zhang Shuguang alone.
"I'll call Lao Zhao tomorrow morning and tell him to keep renovating it since it hasn't been completed yet."
In fact, for this matter alone, Zhang Xiangnan didn't have to travel thousands of miles back. With just one phone call, Zhao Youzhi could handle it beautifully.
"Dad, Mom, I heard that Zhang Xiangdong is seriously ill. What are your thoughts?"
The smiles of Zhang Qingchun and Liu Guixiang froze on their faces, followed by a long silence.
Zhang Xiangdong has many faults, but after all, they are his own children. Two days ago, his two grandsons cried at the door, saying that their father was dying and wanted to see them before he died.
The old couple did not go because they did not want to disappoint the second son's family. But how could they not be sad when the elderly were about to send off their loved ones?
"Dad, Mom, it's okay for you to go and take a look. I don't want you to have any regrets."
Zhang Xiangnan resented his elder brother for being ungrateful, for abandoning his parents, and even more for inciting the members of the commune to raid his house and leave his family no way to survive.
But people are about to die, and all grudges should be let go. It is said that when a dying person is about to speak good words, he probably wants to confess to his parents.
"Old man, how about we go over there and take a look tomorrow?"
After all, the person fell from her body, and the old lady couldn't let him go.
Besides, since the second son said so, Liu Guixiang wanted to go visit him, which could also be considered as seeing her eldest son off and completing the mother-son relationship.
…
After a moment of silence, Zhang Qingchun suddenly looked up.
"It's better not to go and see it. Since we've already severed our relationship, why bother getting involved any further?"
After thinking about it, the old man made a cruel decision.
"Old man, how can you be so cruel? He's our own child! He's about to die, so no matter how great the hatred is, it should be resolved, right? Being able to see us once again might be his last wish."
Liu Guixiang was very surprised by the old man's decision.
The two of them had spent most of their lives together, and Liu Guixiang knew that Zhang Qingchun was not a cruel person.
If he was cruel enough, he would never have adopted the orphan of his boss's family.
If he was cold-blooded enough, he would not have been so steadfast in taking care of the second child and the widowed mother.
They were not without options at the time, as many neighbors had advised them against it.
What everyone hated was the traitor Zhang Xiangnan. If they had been ruthless enough to draw a clear line between themselves and others, they wouldn't have had to suffer for those years.
How could such a kind elder fail the eldest brother? He was about to die, so why couldn't he be given another chance?
"Old woman, as a father, I know what the boss is like.
He is calculating and selfish; this is his nature and he will never change it in his lifetime.
Does he regret it now? Of course he does, but he doesn't regret it because he did something wrong. He regrets that because of that decision, he can't live a good life with Xiaoguang.
