Zhang Cuihong herself has two grandsons and a granddaughter, so at least she has a son.
But these days, even your own grandson is struggling to get enough to eat, so who would bring home a money-losing child?
Aside from her own family, no one knew that Liu Junlan actually adored her daughters, even the little girl from the west end of the village who was born ugly!
Not to mention the pretty little girl in front of me. She's just a bit thin and dirty. Isn't she more pleasing to the eye than those naughty boys at home?
If it weren't for the poor harvest and her daughter-in-law's less robust health, she would have been hoping that her son and daughter-in-law would give her more granddaughters.
"Get out of my way! I'm talking to the little girl, what's it to you?" Liu Junlan yelled gruffly at Zhang Cuihong, then turned to Lin Wanyue and added, "Little girl, come with Grandma, okay?"
Zhang Cuihong: "..."
She began to suspect that Liu Junlan might be possessed by a ghost here!
The little girl stretched out her tiny finger and drew circles on the tree trunk. Her small mouth, which looked a little pale from not eating for so long, was pursed tightly, and she looked like she was thinking seriously.
Liu Junlan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, trying to appear more approachable.
Soon, Lin Wanyue nodded obediently.
She actually wanted to think about it, but her stomach was so hungry that she made a quick decision instead of thinking.
A grandmother who is willing to raise her when her parents don't want her must be a good grandmother!
"Milk~" Lin Wanyue called out in a childish voice.
"Yes!" Liu Junlan immediately responded loudly, grinning from ear to ear. With his strong arms, he scooped up Lin Wanyue in one go, slung the basket over his shoulder with his other hand, and strode towards home.
"My dear grandson, are you starving? I'll get you something to eat as soon as we get back~" she said, coaxing the baby as they walked.
Zhang Cuihong, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded.
This is insane!
This Sister Liu must be possessed by a ghost!
"No... Sister Liu, what's the point of raising such a good-for-nothing who only eats rice? His parents don't want him anymore, isn't it just a waste of food for you to keep him? You might as well use that extra food to feed your own child." Zhang Cuihong said earnestly, carrying a basket.
Everyone else would shun their daughters, but Liu Junlan would still take them home.
"Don't force me to slap you when I'm happiest!" Liu Junlan, who had just gained a granddaughter for free, immediately raised her eyebrows and turned to glare fiercely at Zhang Cuihong: "Stop calling me a money-loser! You're a woman yourself, how much have you lost?"
"Let me tell you, she's my granddaughter now. If you say another word about my precious granddaughter, I'll tear you apart!"
Liu Junlan was overjoyed and walked with a swagger. She stopped digging for wild vegetables and turned to go home, leaving Zhang Cuihong, who had originally been traveling with her, far behind.
As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, Lin Weiming saw his mother holding a bundle in her arms.
Thinking it was a pheasant or rabbit, she quickly reached out to take it, praising, "Mom, you're still got it! This big black rabbit... um?"
The rabbit didn't see anything, but it did see a pair of big eyes, which startled it so much that it immediately took several steps back.
"This...this is..." It's a little baby!
And it's a little girl!
Lin Weiming's hands trembled. Had his mother finally given up on wanting a granddaughter and kidnapped someone else's daughter?
