“Oh, the two kids really have some fate. Look at the fierce look of the little brat just now, but he restrained himself in front of Sanya. This child should be raised by the Changzheng family.”
“Yeah, look at how quickly he changed his expression. This child who was raised by beasts now knows what’s good and bad for him. Could it be that he understood our conversation just now and knew that he would have to live with Sanya and the others in the future, so he tried to please Sanya, his sister, in advance?”
The villagers talked about it in a flurry. It was really surprising that the wolf cub was so docile just now.
The captain explained everything clearly before. This child was picked up by Xu Sanqiang from the mountain. He had no human nature and was most likely abandoned at birth. He was then picked up by a mother beast in the mountain and raised as its own cub.
Therefore, this child had the aggressiveness of a wild beast and could not speak human language. This was also one of the reasons why the villagers were unwilling to raise this child.
Otherwise, in this era of favoring sons over daughters, there are still many families with only daughters and no sons who are willing to raise a boy to take their family name and inherit their family line in the future.
However, the instability of this wolf cub was too great.
The barefoot doctor at the health station also said that this child looked like 11 or 12 years old. However, after touching his bones, he found that this child should be 13 or 14 years old now.
No one knew whether a child who had been a beast for more than ten years could still live like a human being. If he was aggressive toward humans like a beast all his life and could not speak human language, this child would be raised in vain.
Seeing the child’s closeness to his daughter, Xie Changzheng stopped approaching and prepared to pull his daughter away. He looked at the wolf cub rubbing his head against his daughter’s palm docilely, with a hesitant expression.
“Mom, the Third Brother-in-law has injured his leg, and the whole family depends on us for support. It’s not that I, as the eldest sister-in-law, am intolerant, but the Third Brother-in-law is going too far. Not only does he ask us to support his entire family, but now he also wants us to support this kid!”
Zhang Xiaojuan’s high-pitched voice was particularly harsh, but her words also happened to dilute the somewhat conflicted thoughts in Xie Changzheng’s mind.
“Yes, Mom. We have agreed that one person from each family will draw the lot. We haven’t separated the family yet, but the Third Brother-in-law has drawn a lot by himself. Now that this has happened, will our whole family be implicated?”
Liu Landi also said softly.
“If it is just us adults who are wronged, it’s fine. I am just worried about Aijun, my child. He is still so young, but the adopted child has bitten even Uncle Xu who rescued him. It is hard to guarantee that he will not hurt other children in our family when we’re not paying attention.”
Liu Landi also didn’t want to support this burden.
She and Zhang Xiaojuan had the same idea. When Xie Changzheng was still the deputy head of the regiment, she respected and praised him.
But now Xie Changzheng was likely to become a useless person and would not be able to send money home. Her family would have to provide money and food to support this useless person. She was not happy about this.
In Liu Landi’s opinion, half of the things in the Xie family belonged to her family because she and her eldest sister-in-law both gave birth to sons.
Although Xie Changzheng was capable, his wife was a hen that didn’t lay eggs. She had never given birth to a boy for the Xie family. What qualifications did she have to share the things of the Xie family?
But Xie Changzheng was different. As long as the family was not separated, he was a descendant of the Xie family and the son of her parents-in-law. As long as her parents-in-law took care of him, they would not be so cruel as to starve him to death.
Even they and the first branch would be criticized for having no brotherly love, but once the family was separated, they would be two different families. Xie Changzheng was not so shameless as to continue to come to their house to eat and drink after the division.
“Mom, we can’t separate the family.”
Xie Xiuzhu retracted her jealous look at Xie Wu.
Seeing the shaken expression on her mother’s face, she quickly pulled her mother’s arm and winked at her to remind her of their previous secret conversation.
