Zheng Muyun remained calm and asked Teacher Zhou, "So, you brought him here specifically because you want us to help you raise him?"
Teacher Zhou was a little embarrassed by Zheng Muyun's direct question. "What kind of talk is that? What do you mean I brought him here specially? He was just too noisy, and I missed you all, so I brought him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to go through all that trouble."
"But he's your son, isn't he?"
Teacher Zhou assumed that since she had brought her child, and given the bond the couple had developed over the years raising the child, they would immediately hug and cuddle the child affectionately if the child cried.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
She stepped forward and yanked hard at the crying child, pulling the young boy away from Zheng Muyun's lap, almost causing him to fall.
The child was terrified and cried even louder.
Right in front of Zheng Muyun, she kicked the child, yelling, "Cry, cry, what are you crying for? Your parents don't want you anymore!"
Zheng Muyun ignored these words and turned to call Bai Zheming, "Contact the property management."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhou's expression changed drastically. She had originally intended to discipline the child to make the couple feel sorry for him, but now it seemed they wanted the property management to kick them out?
Teacher Zhou looked at Zheng Muyun in disbelief, "How could you do this! Xiaoxi was raised by you, he only recognizes you in his heart, and now you're abandoning him?"
Although Bai Jinghan hadn't regained her memories, she knew one thing.
If he hadn't been so kind-hearted back then, forgiving Su Zhang Lin and continuing to employ Su Zhang Lin, he wouldn't have suffered the torment of the following twenty years.
It turns out that not all good intentions are rewarded.
" A-Yun and I helped you take care of the child because we saw you were raising the child alone and were worried about what the villagers would say. How come you're blaming us?"
Teacher Zhou was both anxious and angry. "If you're so kind as to help me, why don't you go all the way? How am I supposed to take him back now? Don't you think the villagers will gossip anymore?"
" Xiaoxi has been your son for so many years, and now he suddenly becomes my son. How does Xiaoxi feel? How can he bear it!"
What will the villagers think? What will they say about me?
"You're not helping me, you're harming me! How can I continue working at the village kindergarten after this?!"
Bai Jinghan anger, "How could you talk like that?"
Seeing that Bai Jinghan couldn't say anything more, Teacher Zhou, her anger barely contained, said, "I'm telling the truth! If you were going to abandon him, you shouldn't have taken him in in the first place. You've raised him for so many years; even cats and dogs develop feelings for each other. Now you don't want him anymore? Have you even thought about what will happen to him!"
Zheng Muyun completely ignored this remark.
He only asked Bai Zheming, "Has the property management arrived?"
Bai Zheming said, "I'll be there soon."
As we were talking, several property security personnel walked towards us.
Seeing that someone had actually arrived, Teacher Zhou knelt down before Zheng Muyun with a thud. "I'm begging you, please? Have some compassion for the child. He's called you 'Mom' for so many years, are you really going to abandon him?"
As she spoke, she pressed the child down, making him kneel.
The child was so young that he was so frightened by Teacher Zhou that he burst into tears. Teacher Zhou pulled him hard, and he fell to his knees with a thud, hitting his knees quite hard.
Zheng Muyun said to the approaching property management staff, "This person doesn't live in the community. Making a scene here is disturbing other residents."
The property manager recognized Bai Zheming and had seen the live stream, knowing the Bai Family's situation had caused quite a stir. He quickly said, "I'm so sorry, she brought a child here, saying he was your child. She even showed us the live stream video. I thought it really was your child, so I let him in."
Explanation complete.
He turned and ordered his men, "Get them out of here."
Several security personnel immediately went to arrest Teacher Zhou.
Seeing that the other party was serious, Teacher Zhou said anxiously, " Zheng Muyun! Do you have any conscience at all! All these years, Su Zhang Lin has bullied you, and every time I've protected you. If I hadn't been in a hurry to go into the house to check on you, you would have been poisoned to death by paraquat long ago!"
"Now that you have money and are Mrs. Bai Family, this is how you treat me?"
"Your family is so rich, what's the harm in having one more pair of chopsticks! Will you get struck by lightning for leaving the Xiaoxi here?"
" Xiaoxi has called you 'Mom' for so many years! Shouldn't you have raised him?"
Zheng Muyun didn't say a word and walked straight towards her front door.
Bai Jinghan looked at Teacher Zhou with disappointment, "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
After saying that, Bai Jinghan turned and left.
Bai Zheming looked down at Teacher Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, and asked, "Is it A-Wang gave you too much money that you started having even bigger ideas?"
Teacher Zhou's expression froze instantly.
Bai Zheming sneered, " A-Wang gave you a million yuan and bought you a house in town. That's enough for you to take your child and leave Qin Family Village, live a good life in town, and stay away from your so-called gossip."
"But you got a million, you got a house, and you're not satisfied? You want more."
"How?
"Your own son has become a bargaining chip in your scheme?"
"Don't think of yourself as some kind of victim, or how high your moral standards are. You're just after money."
"If I were you, I would teach my child what gratitude is, and I would teach my child what kindness is. If a child grows up like this and calls me 'Mom' for several years, I will definitely help him sincerely when he needs it."
"But your vicious demands have severed all ties between him and our family."
Bai Zheming spoke slowly and deliberately.
"He could have had a great help, but you, his own mother, personally wielded the knife and cut him off! Ha!"
After saying that, Bai Zheming waved his hand, signaling the property management to take the person away, completely unwilling to listen to anything else Teacher Zhou had to say.
He had already thought it through very clearly.
Teacher Zhou and this Xiaoxi were the only connections his parents had in Qin Family Village.
If it's worthwhile to maintain contact, then connecting with someone later can serve as an outlet for emotional connection and a companion.
pity.
There are no "what ifs".
As soon as the person left, Bai Zheming let out a soft sigh of relief and called A-Wang. "You guessed right, they came looking for us. It's all settled now. Have Song Lan bring Xiaoxi over."
A-Wang was worried, "When Auntie saw that child..."
Bai Zheming said, "My mom told me to call the property management company, so don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Zheming felt uneasy.
He once accused Song Lan with righteous indignation, saying that Song Lan bullied Jiang Mingxi, didn't truly love Jiang Mingxi, and that Jiang Mingxi was subservient to Song Lan...
But now, faced with A-Wang's meticulous care, Bai Zheming felt both happy and sad.
I'm so glad my younger brother has someone like that protecting him.
He felt sad that, as the older brother, he hadn't thought things through as comprehensively as A-Wang.
Damn it!
It tastes like vinegar!
He must be true to himself and treat Xiaoxi exceptionally well!
