Chapter 240: Chapter 125: Mom Preferring Sons to Daughters (Part 12)_2

"You’re saying Daniu wasn’t sold by you, then where did the child in your arms come from?"

"Yeah, you must have used the money from selling Daniu to buy this child!"

The people of Zhao Family were all speaking over one another, pointing their accusation directly at He Tiantian.

He Tiantian was both anxious and furious, and cried out, "Our Xiao Bao is a child I found on the side of the road!"

"Lies! Keep spinning your tales, found him? Does anyone these days drop off a perfectly good male child on the road?"

Zhao Baozhu’s real mother spit disdainfully and cursed with a look of disgust.

"Yeah right, how could you be so lucky? Just stepping out the door and you pick up a son?"

"Enough already, no more nonsense. We, the Old Zhao’s Family, can’t afford a heartless daughter-in-law like you. Anyway, you and Baozhu never even registered your marriage, so just go on your way!"

Backed by the fact she was Zhao Baozhu’s real mother and an elder of the house, the old lady made the call.

"Yes, yes, yes, just leave!" the others echoed in agreement.

The only one who hadn’t expressed his stance was Zhao Baozhu, but he stood with the child in his arms in front of the young widow.

"Daniu’s dad, I—I really didn’t run away. I went to look for Daniu and, also, we have a son now!"

He Tiantian desperately clung to Zhao Baozhu like a lifeline, earnestly shouting, "You—you must come and see. This is Xiao Bao, our son!"

Zhao Baozhu looked at He Tiantian with a complicated expression, as well as the young child cradled in her arms.

Chubby and robust, the child had a likable appearance.

"Dad!" the four or five-year-old boy held by Zhao Baozhu seemed to sense his wavering and quickly called out sweetly.

"Ah." After being called ’dad’ for a few months, Zhao Baozhu had grown accustomed to it.

Upon hearing this address, his response came instinctively.

At that moment, the young widow who had silently hid behind Zhao Baozhu gently tugged at the wrinkled clothing on his back.

Zhao Baozhu turned his head and saw the widow’s young, tender face.

Having treated him like an ancestor for over a decade, Zhao Baozhu had some affection for He Xiaotian.

The biggest problem for the couple was their lack of a son, which made them a target of bullying in Zhaojiawa.

Now, "He Xiaotian" had somehow brought home a son, seemingly solving their problems, and Zhao Baozhu could return to the comfortable life of being waited on hand and foot.

Zhao Baozhu wasn’t unmoved.

But... Xiao Fang was younger, more gentle, and she had two sons.

Especially the younger son, who had no memory of the past, had grown closer to him in the past months than to his own real mother.

Even the elder son, who still remembered his real father, had developed a closeness to Zhao Baozhu, his stepfather.

After several months of living together, they had all grown attached to each other, and Zhao Baozhu truly found it hard to let go.

"...Daniu’s mom, just—just go!"

"I have things set with Xiao Fang now. You—you have a son now too, so you have someone to rely on for the rest of your life!"

At heart, Zhao Baozhu still had some conscience, uttering shameless words but with a embarrassed look on his face.

He really did owe He Xiaotian, but he—he was in a bind.

Who asked He Xiaotian to have such big ideas, running off to the Southern areas to look for her daughter, and then adopting a child on her own.

Oh, right, there was also the Fan Family!

Although he had no proof, Zhao Baozhu had a premonition that the capture of the Eldest Fan and his brothers was definitely related to "He Xiaotian."

Otherwise, why would the Fan Family have been raided by the police right after "He Xiaotian" said she would report to Public Security?

The brothers of the Fan Family had been netted, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Zhao Family had always been upright and honest, and they didn’t dare to provoke those heartless child traffickers.

"Zhao Baozhu, do you—do you even have a conscience?" He Tiantian feigned a look of grief and indignation, making an anxious and furious accusation.

"...Fine, I wronged you. But things are as they are now. Stop causing trouble!"

"You know the situation at home. There’s no money, no possessions, I don’t have anything to give you. The child in your arms, you got him by trading Daniu away, so, just take him and leave!"

"Xiaoya is my daughter; she is a child of the Zhao Family, you—you cannot take her!"

Originally, Zhao Baozhu didn’t want to keep Xiaoya either.

It was only when the widow behind him tugged on his clothes and whispered a reminder.

That Zhao Baozhu remembered, oh yes, although Xiaoya was only seven, she could already cook, wash clothes, and do household chores.

Having her around would certainly save Xiao Fang a lot of trouble.

Moreover, in a few more years, Xiaoya could be married off for a bride price.
