Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Are You Stupid_1 Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Are You Stupid_1 Hehua imdiately pulled Xiao Douzi to kneel in front of Xiao Xiaoi, pleading, “Xiaoi, I know that I cannot raise Douzi alone. I hope you can help us again in the future. Once Douzi grows up, I will make sure he repays his aunt and rembers all the kindness you have shown.”
Xiao Xiaoi’s face darkened instantly. She didn’t ask them to stand up, but instead said, “This ti, I have taken out quite a bit of Silver Coin from my husband’s family for burying my mother and brother. My in-laws were already dissatisfied with , and now they are even more so. My days ahead will not be easy either; how can I possibly help you? I have already given you all that I had in my private savings, and that is as much as I can do!”
Upon hearing that Xiao Xiaoi was unable to help them in the future, Hehua imdiately burst into fearful tears, “Xiaoi, if you don’t help us, how on earth are we supposed to survive?”
The household was already not wealthy, and now after the funerals, it was left completely destitute.
“Douzi is the only seedling left by your brother, the only root of this family,” Hehua cried again. “Xiaoi, please, you must help your brother and your mother preserve this root!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you; I simply can’t.” Xiao Xiaoi was getting irritated. “Just now, I’ve told you about my situation. I assu you wouldn’t want to displease my in-laws further and get sent back ho, would you? If that happens, all three of us won’t be able to survive.”
Upon hearing Xiao Xiaoi’s words, Hehua didn’t know what to say and just kept crying.
Seeing his mother cry so heartbrokenly, Xiao Douzi also started crying loudly.
The older and the younger cried together, making Xiao Xiaoi even more irritated. She was just about to scold them and tell them to stop crying when she suddenly rembered eting An Jing and Xiao Changyi, which brightened her eyes instantly, and she quickly said, “Sister-in-law, though I can’t help you, there is soone who can.”
Hehua imdiately stopped crying and asked anxiously, “Who?”
“That Wretch!”
It was clear who the Wretch was; it was also Xiao Changyi. But as soon as Hehua heard what Xiao Xiaoi said, she shook her head in fear, “He will bring us doom!”
Xiao Xiaoi was also afraid that Xiao Changyi would doom her, but at this mont, she reassured her, “The fortune-teller said that he only brings misfortune to his elders and siblings, not to others. Look at his wife An Jing; isn’t she living quite well now?”
Hehua was rather simple-minded, and upon hearing Xiao Xiaoi’s words, she was persuaded imdiately, only worrying, “He was abandoned by his mother as a child, and after that, there were so many unpleasant things; he has no relation to this family anymore. Will he help us?”
“Douzi is his biological nephew; he cannot possibly not help. He surely wouldn’t coldly watch his own nephew die.”
“Back when An Jing was about to strangle our mother, he almost watched her die.”
Xiao Xiaoi was montarily lost for words but then said, “You also said it was ‘almost.’ He probably won’t be that ruthless. However, if he really is that heartless, you could give Douzi to them to raise. It’s not like they’re going to have children of their own. Douzi is his biological nephew, and it’ll be closer than if they were to adopt a child from another family.”
Hehua shook her head vehently, “No, no, Douzi is the child of Gousheng and . I’m counting on Douzi to support in old age; I can’t give him away to soone else, no one is allowed.”
Once Douzi was adopted out, he would no longer have any ties to her as his mother. What else would she have left to rely on?
In this respect, Hehua was indeed smart.
“Are you stupid?” Xiao Xiaoi finally couldn’t restrain herself and scolded, “Both of you are so poor you can barely survive. If you wait for Douzi to support you in your old age, both you and he might end up dead!”
