”Granny, how can you be like this? Aunt Lan is not an item!”
Hearing that, the old lady was unhappy, and reprimanded: ”Do you think it's your place to interrupt the elder's words? Your husband didn't even say no, what are you yelling for? ”
Su Zhi chuckled, and then went back to being a peacemaker, ”Calm down, the two of you, I think big sis is right. ”It's because I haven't thought it through properly that the child is not an item. I originally wanted to take out ten thousand taels of silver, but now that I think about it, it seems like I'm being narrow-minded.”
When they heard that it was ten thousand silver taels, the old woman and the man both revealed astonished expressions.
”But since you insist on taking the child away, I won't stop you. ”How about this, as long as you are willing to tell me who the source of this information is, I will let the child return with you.”
Madame Zhou quickly replied, ”Not long ago, a stranger came to our house and said that the child was brought to Xuan City and that he gave us your exact address.”
Originally, his family did not plan to come and find his child. It was only because the conditions they offered were tempting enough, that they were willing to travel a thousand miles to Xuan City.
Now that the lawsuit had not been completed, the person who had brought the money had also disappeared. Zhou Yang's mother-in-law had already been in a bad temper several times.
”Don't, madam, if you really like that child, then give us the silver. You can keep the child.”
Su Zhi did not answer her question and continued to ask, ”What kind of person are you? What news did he tell you? ”
Madam Zhou thought about it for a long time, shook her head and said: ”This, I don't know, that person only said this much, he gave us money to help us find our child.”
”Alright, I understand.” Su Zhi nodded indifferently and instructed Dan Xue at the side, ”Go wake Sister Lan up.”
The maidservant entered the room and carried the little girl out after dressing her clothes.
A Jin also ran out after waking up from her stupor. She threw herself into Su Zhi's arms and cried, ”Mother, please don't send our little sister away!”
Seeming to have sensed that something was wrong, the normally cheerful Little Dou Wu suddenly cried out, struggling to get Su Zhi to hug her.
When Su Zhi saw this, she could not bear it, so she told the three of them in her heart, ”Don't let your child down, stay well. She's actually very smart, but she spoke a little too late. ”
Mrs. Zhou Yang stood up to pick up the child. Little Dou wrapped her legs around her waist and refused to listen to her.
”Mother, Ah Jin is begging you, please don't send my little sister away!”
A Jin cried out together with the hands holding onto the Soybean Pancake.
”Bi Yue, bring Big Brother Jin back to his room.”
”I don't want it, I don't want it!”
Madame Zhou took the child and tightly hugged it. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Su Zhi turned her face away and warned carefully, ”When she eats peaches, she will have diarrhea. She is a little allergic to things with shells on them, so it's better for shrimp and crabs to eat less. ”She loves furry little animals the most. All her puppies and rabbits are dragged by her a hundred times a day …”
Upon mentioning the child's cuteness, a look of love appeared on Su Zhi's face, but she could not finish her sentence.
”Mother!” Mother! ” Being hugged by this unfamiliar woman, Dou Zi screamed out in fear and reached out her hands for Su Zhi to hug.
”Little Dou Bao, stop messing around. In the future, you have to listen to your mother. Otherwise, I won't like you anymore.”
The little girl looked at her in a daze, tears overflowing from her eyes. She looked at Su Zhi pitifully and said, ”It's alright, I like you.”
Su Zhi looked at her in disbelief, shock in her eyes.
This was the first time that she had heard the little bean bun speak so long. Joy and reluctance surged through her at the same time.
Madame Zhou quickly expressed her thanks, afraid that she would go back on her word. ”Thank you Madam for reminding us, we will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave first.”
Holding the crying child in her arms, she ran out of the courtyard as if she were escaping.
Su Zhi sat upright on the wooden chair, and two streams of clear tears fell from her eyes in an instant.
She thought of the stuffed toy she had made for the child the night before and hurried to get it from her room.
A Jin's eyes turned red from crying.
”Mother!” ”How heartless!”
Su Zhi's whole body shook as she pinched the furry bear in her hand. Her heart ached.
”Mother!” ”If you send your sister away, will you also send A Jin away one day?”
Hearing this, Su Zhi's head buzzed. She blankly looked at the child who was huddled up in a corner crying and her mind went blank.
”I …”
No, the bean bag was picked up, but A Jin wasn't. How could that be?
”Madam, they're on the carriage!” Mother Ding reminded him from outside.
Only then did Su Zhi react and ran outside with the stuffed animal in her hand.
”Wait! Wait a moment! ”
