"...What do you mean?"
Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a moment, then angrily said, "My thoughts are dangerous. If you don’t give me a proper explanation today, don’t blame me for not ending this!"
"Do we still need to say more? Can’t you think about how our eldest now has a family?" Father Xiao pressed one side of his temples, his tone full of helplessness, "If you insist on making trouble over nothing, just wait for our eldest to be left with nothing but a broken family!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao’s expression changed immediately: "What nonsense are you saying? Am I that foolish?"
"You’re not, so why do you insist on associating that boy with our eldest? Is it just because the boy looks somewhat similar to him, that you have such ridiculous thoughts?"
Father Xiao didn’t get angry; he just didn’t want Mrs. Xiao to focus on the issue she just mentioned to avoid things spiraling out of control.
"Fine, fine, perhaps I overthought this. But I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance in that boy, everyone looks a bit uneasy, showing that they probably also thought of our eldest."
Upon saying this, Mrs. Xiao couldn’t help but frown: "It’s probably already becoming gossip."
"Let them talk, as long as we don’t respond, their talking will naturally subside." At this point, Father Xiao paused slightly and asked, "Do you know which family that boy belongs to?"
Hopefully, he has no relation to the Feng family.
"He’s walking with Xi family’s little grandson, Jhiang’s little girl, and three children who look like little fairy children."
After listening to Mrs. Xiao, Father Xiao was silent for a while and asked, "Have you seen those other three children in the compound?"
Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "No."
Father Xiao fell into silence again and after a while, he said, "Just forget about it, act as if you haven’t seen anything." No matter whether that boy is related to the Xiao family, they should not react now.
"...Should we ask the eldest?"
Playing deaf and dumb wasn’t something Mrs. Xiao could do, thinking about this, she couldn’t help but make the suggestion.
"Why create trouble for ourselves?"
Mrs. Xiao pretended not to understand, "Are we lacking grandchildren?"
"We’re not, but we can’t let our bloodline stay in someone else’s house forever either!"
Feng Lu shook her head lightly, "I feel much better."
"Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Fang Su was a bit worried, thinking it might be best to take Feng Lu to the hospital, but Feng Lu shook her head again, "Auntie, really no need, I... I just haven’t been eating well recently... it’s nothing serious with my health."
So she fainted from hunger?
Fang Su was pondering, sitting by Feng Lu’s bed, and saw Feng Lu suddenly getting red-eyed, thinking of comforting her, but unexpectedly, Feng Lu suddenly rushed into her arms, crying "Waa waa" in distress.
"Why are you crying?"
Patting Feng Lu’s back, Fang Su softly spoke, "There, there. Did Han Bin bully you? If he did, Auntie will stand up for you and have a talk with him, make him apologize to you!"
"He resents me, Auntie Fang, Han Bin resents me, but why does he resent me? The child in my womb was harmed by his daughter, even I lost my uterus because of his good daughter,
yet Han Bin resents me because that damned girl caused trouble at school and had to transfer. He... he often didn’t come home for dinner before mid-October, and occasionally didn’t return at night...
