Aunt Liu looked a little uneasy, her eyes were nervous, and her fingers were clenching uneasily.
"Before, you wanted to take in Ji Wuyue, a girl with a foreign surname, and I agreed. After all, she was going to be your Liu Tao's wife in the future. But now, how come I heard that she has an illegitimate child outside? Our Liu family, how can we
Are you allowed to let such a dirty woman in?"
The old man leading the group had a serious look on his face. He was also the most senior person in Liujia Village.
People in Liujia Village call him Fourth Uncle.
Aunt Liu's expression changed and she hurriedly explained: "That's not Yue'er's child. She picked it up from outside. She kept him because she saw how pitiful he was."
The fourth uncle sneered: "Who can prove that the child is not hers? Besides, our Liujia Village does not adopt people with foreign surnames. You should know that. I think the child looks good, so why not sell him? Your family can still replace it."
Some money."
Aunt Liu's face became even more ugly: "This is not good, that child is innocent."
Although she didn't want to keep the child, she did it for the sake of Ji Wuyue's reputation.
What's more, she knew that if Ji Wuyue took in this child, one day she would be expelled from Liujia Village.
If she was a girl who was kicked out, how would she have any chance of survival? The reason why the child was not driven away in the past few days was because of his health.
I'm afraid I can't keep him now.
"Presumptuous!" The fourth uncle's expression was stern, "This is the rule of our Liujia Village. If he is capable, it is nothing to keep him. Keeping him as a waste is just a waste of food."
This Liujia Village is different from other villages. It is equivalent to a family, and the fourth uncle is the leader of this family.
All grain and money will be distributed by the fourth uncle based on population.
If leaving a piece of waste behind would mean spending the money of the entire Liu Village, how could he agree!
What's more, who knows whether that boy is Ji Wuyue's illegitimate son? If Ji Wuyue insists on keeping him, he can only treat him as an illegitimate son!
By then, both of them will be driven out of Liujia Village!
The aunt panicked, her voice filled with urgency: "Fourth uncle, can't we keep him? That child really isn't Yue'er's. Yue'er has already notified his parents. What should he do if his parents come?"
The fourth uncle's face was expressionless: "Even if what you said is true, can you guarantee that the child is not a bastard from outside? Maybe his family will come, and not only will they not pick him up, but they will also bring him to our Liujia Village.
Disaster."
"The fourth uncle is right," another middle-aged man also said, "We tentatively believe that the child is not Ji Wuyue's, but to put it another way, he was seriously injured and was picked up by Ji Wuyue.
Don’t you understand how a child could be so injured?"
He paused and continued: "It must be because he is just an illegitimate child, and the mistress discovered his existence, so she wanted to kill the child, but he was picked up by Ji Wuyue."
Regardless of whether he was born to Ji Wu Yue or not, there is no doubt that he was an illegitimate child.
Otherwise, if it weren't for an existence that couldn't be tolerated, who would do such a heavy hand to a child?
Aunt Liu's face turned pale: "Even so, just drive him away. Why...why sell money?"
"Aunt Liu, how much money did you spend to treat his injuries? These are all the money of our Liujia Village." The person who said this was a young man, with a face full of displeasure. "Our Liujia Village's conditions are not good to begin with.
And because he spent a sum of money to buy medicine, shouldn’t he get this money back?”
At the beginning, the fourth uncle also thought that the child was good-looking, and if he could be cured, he would definitely be able to sell it for a fortune.
Otherwise, he would never agree to pay for his treatment!
