Chapter 242: Trading children for men and not taking concubines
"Dad, tell me what is going on. If you don't tell me, how will the matter be solved?" Liu Mei couldn't hold back and spoke out.
She was worried that she would get nothing if she kept putting it off.
After all, if the old lady gets money, then they can get benefits from their big house. If the old lady gets nothing, her son's hope of studying is gone.
"That's right, mom, tell me, what's going on? Who is that bitch? Isn't the fourth child your own?"
The boss, An Zicheng, also helped. This was the custom of the big house. They stood firmly with Mrs. An.
At home, although the old lady cannot be a housekeeper, she listens to her on all small matters, and the food and clothing are all arranged by the old lady. Therefore, although the eldest son is also afraid of boss Lao An, he is still determined to help his mother.
As for the other two rooms, no one will stand up and will only look down.
"Grandma, I'll call Uncle Wu over!"
As soon as the couple finished talking, eight-year-old An Qingyu jumped off the stool and said he was going to call An Zihao. Before Old An could stop him, he had already run away.
"You...you are so good! You are an unworthy descendant..." Lao An was so angry at An Qingyu that he pointed at the door of the hall, unable to speak clearly.
"Don't scold my grandson. He is filial. He knows how to protect his grandmother. It doesn't matter how many children I have. Only the eldest family can protect me!" Mrs. An quickly spoke up for An Qingyu.
After saying this, the other two people sitting below were trembling, fearing that they would not have anything to eat when they went home at night, and Xia Qiyue...
There is no need for her to step forward and let Liu Mei do her job. What else can she do? Just wait and hear.
"Shut up!" Boss Lao An shouted sternly. He was about to explode with anger. No one or two listened to him, and no one was promising, except for the fourth room.
Looking at the two children in the fourth room, they are both smart. Then look at the other children. You don’t know if you don’t compare them. If you compare them, you will be shocked. It is because you have good taste and the children you like are all smart.
"I really won't shut up today. I feel so bad when I can't say these words!" Mrs. An slapped the table and decided not to stop talking today. "I, Li Daya, have followed you all my life.
I am well-fed, well-clothed, well-off, I have given birth to children for you, and I have worked hard without complaining, but what have you done to me? You have no conscience, old man!"
"I went through all kinds of hardships for you, but you were out having fun, and you even gave birth to a child!"
When Mrs. Lao An got excited, she couldn't control herself and stood up. She pointed at Mr. Lao An's head, her lips trembling.
But a bombshell was dropped in front of everyone. Everyone except Xia Qiyue was shocked.
Xia Qiyue had already guessed that An Zichen was not born to Mrs. Lao An, but to Boss Lao An from someone else. If she had not run away, she would not hate him so much.
"Mother... what did you say? Fourth... Fourth is not your biological child?" An Zicheng asked in disbelief.
He was the only one who dared to ask like this at this time. The others didn't dare to speak at all. Looking at the murderous look in Mr. Lao An's eyes, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions.
"Okay, stop talking!" The patriarch interrupted An Zicheng, and then looked at Mrs. An, "Ms. An Li, sit down and talk!"
The meaning was obvious. The clan leader did not stop her from talking. Leader Lao An also lowered his head. He didn't want to stop her anymore. He had already said it, so he didn't want to stop anything anymore.
The only thing he has to promise now is not to sever ties with his fourth wife. Since the old woman has said it, he doesn't want to stop the rest. He doesn't feel that what he is doing is wrong. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. He has no reason to do so.
The old woman was jealous and divorced her, which was already a kindness on his part.
Before Mrs. An could continue to say anything, she covered her face and started crying. Everyone present was very worried. This was just the beginning, why didn't she say it again?
Mrs. Lao An, who finally calmed down after a cup of tea, raised her head, looked at Mr. Lao An with hatred, and said through gritted teeth every word:
"Because you are not human, I have lost too much, and you will never be able to make up for it in your lifetime!"
Just as Mrs. An was about to tell the whole story, An Zihao was also approached by An Qingyu.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on again?" An Zihao looked around after coming in, but he didn't see his wife, but it was no surprise. He had told him to help his fourth sister-in-law more today. Wang Liya might be helping out.
, it’s okay if she doesn’t know about these things at home.
"Lao Wu, you came just in time. Mom is going to tell you about your father's bastard story back then. You should sit down and listen!" Mrs. An wiped her tears.
An Zihao was confused, "Mom, don't quarrel here! Go home and quarrel! Don't you know what day it is today? Do you have to come here to the fourth sister-in-law?"
Xia Qiyue quickly stopped this guy who wanted to do something bad. "Lao Wu, sit down first and listen to what mother says!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the side and told him not to do bad things.
An Zihao had been working with Xia Qiyue during this period and had become accustomed to listening to her words. Seeing that the fourth sister-in-law said the same thing, An Zihao walked over and sat down.
After everyone was quiet, Mrs. Lao An's narration began. She told Lao An everything while gritting her teeth with a sullen face.
It turned out that not long after Mrs. Lao An gave birth to her third child, An Zikang, Lao An suddenly brought back a woman one day and said he wanted to take a concubine.
Mrs. An refused. She went through many hardships to give birth to three sons for Lao An's family, and finally she could raise her head and live a proud life, but the man was causing trouble for her again.
Her mother-in-law was also on her side at that time, because she had already given birth to three sons, and taking a concubine would cost money, so she gave her son a severe lesson and drove the woman away.
But when An Zikang was two years old, Lao An brought the woman back again and said that she was pregnant. This time he wanted to marry her. If Lao An did not agree, he would divorce her.
When Mrs. An's mother-in-law heard that the woman was pregnant, she no longer had such strong objections and wanted to agree to her son's request.
After forcing Mrs. An to hang herself, she accidentally discovered that she was pregnant. In order to keep the family, Mrs. An finally proposed to abort the child in her belly. That woman
After giving birth, she takes the child back and raises it as if it were hers.
At first Mrs. An's mother-in-law still disagreed, but Mrs. Lao An's father-in-law decided that this was the way to go.
Because no one knew at that time that Chief Lao An had brought a woman back and wanted to take a concubine. In order to preserve his family's reputation, his father agreed to his daughter-in-law's request, aborted his daughter-in-law's child, replaced it with a child born by an outside woman, and then gave birth to his son.
Cut off contact with that woman outside.
Leader Lao An was forced to do this. Mrs. Lao An beat the child, but kept tying cotton to her belly for the dog days. In winter, the woman gave birth and took the child back.
