Zhao Baozhu suddenly raised his head and stared at He Tiantian with a pair of swollen eyes.
"The child's father, I told you that I listen to you and won't let our eldest girl go to the south to work!"
He Tiantian sneered in her heart, she knew that Zhao Baozhu was a selfish and hypocritical villain.
You see, before she said anything, Zhao Baozhu couldn't hold on to his "loving father" mask anymore.
"you you--"
Zhao Baozhu looked at his wife in disbelief and swallowed back the curse that came to his lips.
He almost blurted out: "If you bring the big girl back, what will you do with the two thousand yuan? How can we 'adopt' our son?"
But Zhao Baozhu couldn't say this.
Because he has always behaved like a normal person.
It was never him who was obsessed with his son, but He Xiaotian, a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
Normally, when he heard some aunts and wives outside laughing at He Xiaotian for being a good-for-nothing, Zhao Baozhu would take the initiative to put in a good word for her.
Therefore, although the villagers may laugh at Zhao Baozhu as a coward, their evaluation of him is not too bad either.
Especially in the eyes of many women, no matter how bad Zhao Baozhu is, he is still a good husband who loves his daughter-in-law and takes care of her.
It's just that Zhao Baozhu is so cowardly that he can't even control a woman.
He Xiaotian treated his two biological daughters like livestock, and now he even wanted to "adopt" a son by handing over his fifteen or sixteen-year-old flower-like daughter to the notorious Aunt Hua.
Tsk tsk, Zhao Baozhu is so pitiful. He can't even protect his own daughter. Who asked him to marry a tigress who can't give birth to cubs?
"Then I won't hug him. Dad, you are right. You are still young and I am not old either. If we take good care of ourselves, we will definitely have a biological son of our own!"
He Tiantian looks like a good wife who regards her husband as her first priority. Every word she says must be laced with "You are right, I will listen to you."
The veins on Zhao Baozhu's forehead were jumping. He, he said those words just to look good.
The hospital had already checked and found out that my wife had injured her body when giving birth to her little girl, making it difficult to get pregnant again.
And he himself secretly went to see a doctor, who said he had a bit of asthenozoospermia. It was better when he was young. As he grew older, he smoked, drank, and stayed up late to play cards, and his asthenozoospermia became more serious.
If he couldn't have a baby himself, how could he let his wife adopt someone else's son?
How great would it be to divorce a yellow-faced woman, marry a new wife, and give birth to your own biological flesh and blood?!
"..." However, Zhao Baozhu only dared to hold these words in his heart.
The only thing he could do was to pretend to sigh at home and say something envious of someone having a son.
He tried every means to encourage He Xiaotian to charge forward.
It was He Xiaotian who favored sons over daughters and sold his daughter for the sake of his son. He Xiaotian also had the bad reputation of being a cruel mother.
He, Zhao Baozhu, is just a poor man who can't control his wife.
But now, "He Xiaotian" has actually changed his nature. He no longer rushes in front and shouts to kill, but slinks away and hides behind Zhao Baozhu.
Zhao Baozhu:......
"you you--"
Zhao Baozhu stared at "you" for a long time, finally thought of something, and said quickly: "You paid all the deposit, now you don't want it, if you don't want it, can Brother Fan agree?"
Brother Fan is the "capable man" from the next village.
Not only can it "bring" children to the neighbors, but it can also help those poor, lazy, old and ugly old bachelors find wives.
Tsk, tsk, that person is really capable.
The Fan family is also a well-known wealthy family in their area, and one of the few two-story buildings belongs to their family.
"Why don't you agree? Huh, if he doesn't agree, I will sue the police. Do you really think I don't know who he is?"
When He Tiantian mentioned Brother Fan, she finally showed her face as a shrew.
The appearance of this body is actually not bad.
Think about it, if you can give birth to a beautiful daughter like the heroine, the original body will not be too ugly.
It's just that when life doesn't go well, she always has a sad face.
Moreover, she was so obsessed with having a son that she was very mean to her two biological daughters.
Appearance comes from the heart. If you are too mean or act too extreme, your appearance will be affected.
He Xiaotian now looks old even though he is only thirty-four or five years old.
Her cheeks were thin and her cheekbones were prominent, making her appear even more bitter and mean.
Her temper is really not very good either.
Thinking about it, in rural areas, reasoning does not make sense, and most people rely on their fists to speak.
Why do every family look forward to having a son?
In addition to the so-called inheritance of incense, it is also to prevent bullying.
Having a young, strong, and tall son standing by your side gives parents confidence.
The Zhao family has no sons, and Zhao Baozhu has a cowardly temperament, so he will inevitably be bullied in the village.
The neighbors on the left and right built a house, and they just built it over the foundation and directly against the Zhao family's soil wall.
When watering the fields, villagers who bordered the Zhao family's fields would secretly open the fields and steal the Zhao family's water.
There are countless daily trivial matters, and the Zhao family seems to be the soft persimmons that are best bullied.
Zhao Baozhu couldn't support the family, so He Xiaotian had to be forced to take over.
The neighbors occupied the foundation of his house, so He Xiaotian took a hoe and took his two thin girls to fight with the big men from the neighbor's house.
He and his daughters had their heads smashed, and their faces were covered in blood, but He Xiaotian refused to give in.
It wasn't until the fearful neighbor demolished the wall and moved the foundation back that He Xiaotian and his two daughters collapsed on the ground.
When villagers stole their own water, He Xiaotian took a shovel to dig up the villagers' crops.
She put on a posture of "If you want to force me to die, I won't let you live." Her determination to die together and her rolling around like she was desperate for her life really scared the villagers of Zhaojiawa.
It was obvious that He Xiaotian was a sensible, capable and good girl before she got married.
But within a few years of marrying into the Zhao family, she became known throughout the village as a shrew.
Apart from being unable to have a son, the villagers probably couldn't find any "shortcomings" to attack He Xiaotian.
Such a shrewd and overbearing peasant woman can indeed "regret" and "complain".
Zhao Baozhu looked at his wife's mean face and felt a little panicked: "Big girl's mother, you, please don't mess around! The Fan family is not someone to be trifled with."
"Besides, we from all over the country are counting on others."
Surrounded by poverty-stricken mountain villages, there are always some who cannot find a wife, and there are always some who need a man.
Everyone actually knows what the person named Fan is, but they still can't do without him.
Some people even regard Brother Fan as a good man and a living Bodhisattva.
If someone dares to report the Fan family, he will not be spared even by the vicious brothers of the Fan family, and even the surrounding villagers will not let him go.
Thinking of this, Zhao Baozhu couldn't help but shudder.
"The Fan family is indeed not easy to mess with, but I, He Xiaotian, am not easy to bully either. I am barefoot, why am I afraid of them wearing shoes?"
He Tiantian said very bachelorly, the cruelty and determination in his words made Zhao Baozhu feel cold in his heart.
What happened to these damn bitches today?
What is she crazy about?
In the past, He Xiaotian was really capable of acting out, but she was basically outside.
To outsiders, she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, but once she returned home and faced Zhao Baozhu, she would be considerate and would not scold him back.
It was definitely the first time for him to look directly at Zhao Baozhu with a fierce look like this, even if it wasn't directed at him.
"Da Niu's mother, you, please stop making trouble. Da Niu has left with Aunt Hua, and we have also given the money to the Fan family. This, this matter is settled like this!"
Zhao Baozhu's heart was pounding, and he always felt that something was out of his control.
But he had no better way to deal with it, so he could only find ways to make peace with it.
"The father of the child, why did I become the one making trouble? Aren't these all what you said?"
He Tiantian deliberately looked aggrieved and shouted at the top of her lungs: "It's you who said I'm not allowed to hand the big girl over to Aunt Hua. Now I know I was wrong and want to bring the child back quickly, you, you
Why don’t you agree again?”
Zhao Baozhu:......
My heart feels so stuffed, the image of an honest person that he has maintained for many years is starting to crack a little bit!
Not to mention the eavesdropping neighbors from the two families on the left and right, it was the seven-year-old heroine Zhao Xiaoya. At this moment, a look of confusion appeared on her young face.
Yes, Zhao Xiaoya has always felt that her mother is too domineering. Although her father does not love her children as much as other fathers, he is much better than her mother.
At least, my father will not sell my sister.
But, what is the situation now?
The bad mother knew that she was wrong, regretted that she should not have sold her sister, and wanted to save her sister, but their good father refused and hesitated!
Doesn't daddy want to take his sister back at all?
The things he said before about blaming his mother were all false?
In fact, my father also wanted to sell his sister and adopt a son?!
The little Zhao Xiaoya was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to believe her good father or her bad mother.
"...Well, it's not your fault! You gave people to Aunt Hua and accepted their money, and now you suddenly regret it. Aunt Hua and the Fan family will definitely not agree!"
Being ripped off by He Tiantian again and again, Zhao Baozhu also became a little angry.
He shouted angrily, "Regret! Regret! What did you do earlier? Now that everything has been done, you are shouting that you regret it. I advise you, if you don't listen carefully, why do you still have the nerve to blame me?"
"Why can't I regret it? I did take Aunt Hua's money, why don't I return the money to her?"
"As for the Fan family, well, I also said that if they dare not agree, I will report it to the police!"
He Tiantian started to be unreasonable and behave like the original owner again.
However, Zhao Baozhu was not disgusted by the original owner's mischief in the past, because it brought benefits to him every time.
But this time——
"Okay, okay, don't keep talking about reporting to the police. If you are not afraid of the Fan family's retaliation, you should also take care of me and the children."
Zhao Baozhu could hardly maintain his mask and shouted randomly.
He Tiantian listened, and turned to look at Zhao Xiaoya who was huddled in the corner, "Xiaoya, you heard what your father and I said. I want to bring your sister back, which may offend the Fan family.
Are you afraid?"
Zhao Xiaoya suddenly raised her head and looked at He Tiantian intently, "Mom, you, do you really want to take your sister back? No, don't let her go to the south to work?"
"Yes, I want to take her back." He Tiantian replied firmly.
On Zhao Xiaoya's dark and thin face, her eyes are extraordinarily big and bright.
She looked at her mother with burning eyes, then shook her head vigorously, "Mom, I'm not afraid. If they dare to bully us, I, I will fight them to the death!"
Zhao Xiaoya is young, but she still remembers the scene when her neighbor next door built a house when she was a child. She and her sister took sickles and went to fight with the neighbors with their mother.
Isn't it just a death? As long as her sister can come back and her mother never sells her daughter again, she won't be afraid!
"Okay, this is my daughter!"
As a biological mother, He Tiantian didn't feel the slightest bit worried or guilty when she heard a seven-year-old child talking about "desperately". Instead, she looked proud.
Zhao Baozhu:... Damn it, this mother and daughter are not afraid, but he, he is afraid.
The family named Fan, old and young, is not a fuel-efficient person.
If this naughty bitch like me really goes to the Fan family to cause trouble, the men of the Fan family may not embarrass a woman, but as the "backbone" of the Zhao family, I will suffer.
"His dad, it's settled!"
He Tiantian didn't seem to see the fear written on Zhao Baozhu's honest and dull face. She waved her hand as if she had decided to sell her daughter and hold her son in her arms.
"...No, no, what's settled?"
Zhao Baozhu was a little dumbfounded, and he reached out to stop him.
As a result, He Tiantian held her daughter by the hand, quickly ran to the house, packed up two pieces of clothing at random, hid the remaining 1,500 yuan in her pants pocket, and then ran out of the house in a hurry.
She and Zhao Xiaoya went straight to the Fan family in the next village.
Boss Fan: "You, you want your deposit back? From Zhao Baozhu's family, you don't want a son?"
"No, I still want to give birth on my own!" He Tiantian was filled with hatred when facing this human trafficker who should be cut to pieces.
But she did not show it, but continued to play an ignorant, mean rural shrew.
"Boss Fan, hurry up and return the money to me. I have to go to the county!" He Tiantian urged.
Time was running out, otherwise she would have prepared some "good medicine" and given it to Fan's family.
"... From Zhao Baozhu's family, it stands to reason that the deposit cannot be refunded. But we are all fellow villagers, so I won't argue with you."
Although Boss Fan doesn't care about the five hundred yuan deposit, He Tiantian's behavior of going back on his word is a bit of a bad rule.
Boss Fan was determined to withhold the deposit, but when he thought of this woman's reputation as a shrew, Boss Fan changed his mind.
Forget it, for a few hundred dollars, it's not worth it.
A shrew like "He Xiaotian" can do anything.
Although the Fan family is not afraid of a rural shrew, their business is indeed shady.
It is better to do less than to do more. Anyway, there is no shortage of buyers for the "big goods" in their hands.
"I will return the money to you! But one thing, you must not regret it! It will be difficult for you to ask me to help you in the future -"
"Don't worry, I don't regret it! Give me the money quickly!"
He Tiantian waved her hands impolitely, and sneered in her heart: In the future? Do you still want a future? Just dream!
