Chapter 216: Chapter 117: The Mother Who Favors Sons Over Daughters (Part 4)_2

I guess when Eldest Fan and his group were arrested by the police, tried, and executed by firing squad, they had no idea who had really brought them down.

He Tiantian took the money, brought Zhao Xiaoya along, and the mother-daughter duo hurried off to the County.

On the way, when encountering acquaintances, He Tiantian didn’t forget to explain, "Going to the County, to bring back my eldest girl!"

"Not going to work in the Southern region anymore. My girl is all grown up, it’s more reassuring to keep her by my side. In two or three years, she can get married!"

"A son? No need to hope for others; I’ll give birth to one myself! This time in the city, I might as well have a doctor check me out again!"

"I’ve already given birth to two girls, so I should be able to have a baby. Maybe I’ve just been too worn out these years. Ah, there’s no helping it. Who made me end up with such a worthless man who can’t even stand up and be the head of the household!"

The neighbors who greeted He Tiantian, ...

Oh dear, what secrets had they heard?

From the way Zhao Baozhu’s wife spoke, the reason she couldn’t have a son wasn’t solely her fault?

That’s right—He Xiaotian wasn’t infertile, and Zhao Baozhu was famously useless in the area.

Smoking, drinking, and playing cards, he did it all; but when it came to working the fields and earning money, he left it all to his wife and children.

He Xiaotian was only in her thirties this year, but she looked worn down like she was in her forties or fifties.

With her thin and haggard appearance, even if she could conceive, chances were that she couldn’t bear a child!

Of course, the neighbors wouldn’t blame Zhao Baozhu because of a few words from He Tiantian.

After all, society is more forgiving towards men.

But because of He Tiantian’s attitude, starkly different from the original owner of the body, Zhao Baozhu’s reputation of being a decent man was inevitably tarnished.

You see, in the past, even when He Xiaotian made a scene, she knew how to protect her man.

She never spoke ill of Zhao Baozhu in public and never blamed him for not being able to have a son.

For one, He Xiaotian truly loved her man;

Secondly, deep down, she probably believed that not having a son was the woman’s fault.

Zhao Baozhu didn’t despise her and didn’t drive her and her daughters away; this was considered magnanimity. She felt grateful, she thought she had to atone, she was ready to work like an ox and horse for the Zhao family!

He Tiantian, ...you freakin’ talk about redemption, then do it yourself, why drag your two innocent daughters into it?!

He Tiantian herself was a victim of preferring boys over girls, having been hurt by her own family.

Therefore, she especially detested those with such backward thinking and ridiculous actions who were unfit to be parents.

"...Tiantian, don’t break character. I know you’re very repulsed by your current identity, but, but the mission is important!"

Feeling He Tiantian’s emotional fluctuations, Student Xiao D, who was busy tracking and monitoring Eldest Fan and his group, still timidly reminded her.

"Don’t worry! I won’t break character!"

He Tiantian coldly replied and, without saying another word, continued to hurry to the County with Zhao Xiaoya.

By the time the mother and daughter found the train station, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

He Tiantian bought some pancake biscuits and tea eggs from a roadside vendor, filling up Zhao Xiaoya who was starving but dared not speak up.

"...Mom, these pancakes are really delicious!"

Zhao Xiaoya, now seven years old, came to the County for the first time.

Seeing the County, which He Tiantian found backward and shabby, Zhao Xiaoya felt the excitement and curiosity akin to Grandma Liu entering Grand View Garden.

She bit into the crisp outer crust and the soft, flavorful inside of the oil pastry, while her eyes darted around to take in everything.

"Mom, what’s that?"

"A car!"

"Mom, what’s that over there, it’s so tall!"

"That’s a department store, it’s got all sorts of good things inside!"

"...Mom, the city is really nice!"

"Pfft, what’s so great about this place? The Provincial City is better. And the big cities in the Southern region, they’re much better than this!"

"Mom, is the South really that nice? Then, then sister going there..." Zhao Xiaoya hesitated.

The South was supposed to be so good, so her sister going there meant she could enjoy herself.

It didn’t seem like her real mother meant to harm her sister.

"No matter how good a place is, it’s not our home."

He Tiantian said plainly, "Besides, your sister only went to primary school for two years, she doesn’t know anything. Even if she went to the South, what could she do? They don’t have land there, don’t raise chickens or pigs."

"Also, remember, as a girl, you can’t just go places with strangers that you’ve never been before!"

"I made a mistake this time; I shouldn’t have entrusted your sister to someone else. So, we have to hurry and chase after her, to bring your sister back home!"

He Tiantian, regardless of whether Zhao Xiaoya could understand, still explained all these principles to her.
