When the carriage arrived at the mountain village, it was lunch time, and smoke was rising from every household.
Qiao Chu didn't get out of the car, so Chen Qingshan stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door alone.
"Who is it!" A familiar voice of Little Douding came from inside. It was Little Douding's grandfather.
"I am Chun Niang's boss." Chen Qingshan said solemnly.
The people inside did not come out, but they heard the sound of low-pitched discussions. After a while, a woman's voice sounded: "What do you want? Haven't we already signed a contract?"
She is Xiao Douding’s grandmother.
As soon as he heard grandma's voice, Xiaodouding Niuniu immediately wanted to shout, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound, and his throat seemed to be choked.
Little Douding was shocked and wanted to twist his body to make some noise to attract the attention of the people inside.
But he found that he couldn't move at all, and his body didn't seem to be his own!
Xiao Douding was stunned. He looked at Qiao Chu who was sitting idle beside him from the corner of his eye. How could this woman be so powerful?!
You can actually make people unable to speak or move?!
this is too scary!
Is she really a fairy?!
At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and the woman walked out of the yard, her voice low and alert: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Qingshan had already heard Qiao Chu explain clearly on the way, so he said loudly: "The child wants to come back to you. How about you return the money to us, and we will send the child back to you."
"What about his mother? Has his mother left your house too?" the woman asked immediately.
"His mother, we arranged to go to another place to do things, and she will no longer be in Xing'an County. You may never run into her in this life."
As soon as she heard that Chun Niang would not continue to earn money for their family and would leave in the future without any money to give, the woman immediately refused: "Where will the money come from to raise the child? Without money, how can we raise the child? That child
Can’t send it back!”
"Chun Niang has given you more than a hundred taels of silver for more than a year, which is enough to build a big brick house in the countryside. Why can't you feed your children?"
"Don't we two old people not have to eat or spend money?" The old woman's voice was dismissive and righteous.
"But this child's surname is Niu, and he is the only bloodline of your Niu family. Don't you want it if no one gives you money? Don't you like this child? Isn't this the child you brought up since childhood? You are willing to give up on it from now on.
You can’t even see the child?” Chen Qingshan’s voice was still clear and his speech was not fast, so the people in the carriage could hear him clearly.
"No, no! I want to take the money back and throw the child back, but there is no way!" The woman said firmly, with obvious impatience.
Qiao Chu sighed and looked at the child lying on the carriage who could not see outside. There was obvious anger in the child's eyes, and it was obvious that he still refused to believe it.
No matter what, severe cases require intensive medical treatment.
Qiao Chu stretched out his hand and patted the child on the head, and a warm current of spiritual energy poured in. The child could immediately be said to be able to move, and he immediately twisted around in the carriage and shouted.
"Grandma! Grandma! I'm here! I'm back, come and save me! Don't let me go..."
Seeing that the child was shouting anxiously, Qiao Chu simply carried him out of the car and walked to the door of the yard.
The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw the little Dou Ding tied into a rice dumpling: "Why are you tying him up like this?"
After hearing this, Xiao Douding burst into tears immediately: "Grandma, they bullied me! They tied me up, beat me, and didn't give me food... Please help me..."
Chen Qingshan's temples twitched: This kid doesn't even need to draft a lie!
Who stopped him from eating?! Who beat him?
Qiao Chu did not defend himself, but just swung the strap in his hand forward: "Yes, we don't like him. If you feel sorry for the child now and are willing to exchange the child back and return the money to us, we will give him a pat."
What do you think about the two separations?"
The woman didn't even look at the child tied into a rice dumpling: "No! As long as the child's mother doesn't give us money, we will never raise this child! Don't even think about using this bastard to get the money back!"
"
"Why did he become a bastard?" Chen Qingshan was shocked: This child looks at least 50% similar to his coward grandpa. He looks like he belongs to the same family. How can he talk like this?
But the woman said: "She can go out and do such shameless things. Who knows who this child belongs to? Maybe he is a bastard left behind when he stole someone to raise a man?!"
"Wow……"
These words were so heartbreaking that Xiao Douding cried hoarsely, but she never called her grandma again.
The child is actually precocious and can understand what grandma says. He is really despised! Grandma doesn’t want him anymore! For one hundred taels of silver.
"Are you sure you want money or not children?" Qiao Chu looked at the woman and asked.
"Sure!" After the woman said this, she immediately slapped Chaimen, "I've already asked the Yamen to sign, but you still want to go back on your word? There's no way!"
Qiao Chu nodded, glanced at Chen Qingshan, turned around and carried the child back to the car.
The car went out of the village. The child who got back in the car soon became tired of crying and stopped crying, but his eyes became blank and began to be in a daze.
Qiao Chu untied the strap: "Today you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears. Your grandma wants money, but she doesn't want you. Your mother wants you. From now on, you and your mother will live a good life."
The child didn't answer or pay any attention to Qiao Chu, as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were staring straight at him.
"Do you want to hear what your neighbors and relatives next door think of your grandparents?" Qiao Chu thought for a while and asked again.
The child still didn't speak.
Qiao Chu then picked up the child and quietly returned to the village, arriving behind the window of a neighbor's house next door to the woman.
As expected, they were discussing in low voices what had just happened in the Niu family.
"...This mother-in-law is so cruel! After her son is gone, she secretly encourages her daughter-in-law to work as a trap to earn money to support them."
"Who says it's not the case! It's not hot for them to get such money! It's not embarrassing either!"
"That's right! When the child grows up, he will know that his mother is a trap, how can he still go out to meet people?!"
"Hey! I heard Niu Niu say a few days ago that his mother is a secret agent and he doesn't recognize her. His grandma has already told the child!"
"Hey! This old woman is really good at teaching you! You will not recognize others after eating and drinking, and you will teach a son not to recognize his mother!"
"It's a pity that such an honest person as Chun Niang was bullied by her parents-in-law and went astray..."
"She is too weak! If it were me, I would have taken the child away a long time ago! When you first marry, you will obey your father, and when you marry again, you will obey yourself. How can I let these two old beasts manipulate me?"
"Then you want it to be easy! The two old men have already said that Niu Niu is the only one in their family. Even if he dies, he will die at Niu's house and will not be taken away! Otherwise, you think Chun Niang doesn't want to
take away?"
"If that's the case, what those two people said when they brought Niu Niu over just now, why didn't that old man refuse to have a child?"
"Why else? That kind of nice thing is just for people to listen to! In fact, isn't it just that money is the only thing in your eyes..."
