Elder Xiao and everyone present laughed at the old woman’s logic.
“If I remember correctly, you’re the woman who stayed with my wife when she escaped, right? I gave you a lot of money to thank you for taking in my wife and helping her give birth to a child, but what did you really do? You traded my baby for your son while my wife was resting after labor. You let us raise your son, and he spent forty-three years of his life in our family. Meanwhile, you didn’t provide my daughter with a good life. You didn’t even provide her with a tolerable life! You abused her, caused her death, then continued to abuse and harm my granddaughter! You even allowed my granddaughter to almost be killed so your grandson’s debt could be paid off. Even now, after I’ve arrested you, you still expect me to continue helping you raise your son and granddaughter? What do you take me for? A fool?”
Grandfather Xiao was a great general on the battlefield. Even though he was already old, the aura he emitted was still not something an ordinary person could withstand. In the face of Grandfather Xiao’s anger, Old Madam Li was so scared that her entire body trembled. However, when she thought about her son, she still fought to say in a shaky voice, “B-but you... You raised your son for so many years. People have feelings! Even if you raised a cat or a dog, you would not be able to bear losing them. How could you bear to abandon the son you’ve raised for forty-three years just because he’s not your biological son?” 1
Elder Xiao sneered. “Yes, but a cat or a dog would be grateful to you for raising them. The problem is that I didn’t raise a cat or a dog, but a vicious wolf! An evil, ungrateful wolf that is as stupid as a pig!”
Elder Xiao looked at Zhou Chengan and said, “Zhou Chengan, I treated you well. Your blood parents took away my child, and I never met her once. If you knew that Lil Yun is my granddaughter, why did you bribe the driver to kill her? You know my temper. I’d never scold the innocent. Even if I knew that you were some villager’s son, as long as you hadn’t done anything illegal or gon overboard, I won’t do anything to you. But you’ve enjoyed forty-three worthless years with me. Why would you still want to kill my granddaughter to silence her after my poor daughter is already dead?”
Elder Xiao’s voice was very gloomy. Zhou Chengan was so scared. He betrayed Xiao Yaxin without even thinking.
“It wasn’t me! Dad, I really didn’t do it. It was Yaxin. She was jealous that Jingyan preferred Sze Lingyun. She tried to sabotage their relationship several times, but Jingyan and Sze Lingyun didn’t fall into her trap. So, in a fit of anger, she found a woman who had a feud with Sze Lingyun and gave her some money to murder Sze Lingyun. I only found out about this today. Dad, you have to believe me!”
Even though Zhou Chengan had just betrayed his own daughter, Old Madam Li did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he did because deep down, she was a typical rural old lady who valued sons over daughters. Forget getting mad over her son betraying his granddaughter to save face. Even if he had killed her to save face, she would not feel anything. 1
