Chapter 114 News
Two days later, the village chief came with a very long face.
"Village chief, what's wrong!" Chi Xiaotong asked puzzledly.
"We got the news you wanted! The woman from that family came directly here, bringing two boys with her!"
"Ah, where is he?" Chi Xiaotong didn't see anyone except the village chief.
"It's at my house. I didn't bring it with me. It's better not to let them know where your house is! It will save you trouble in the future!" The village chief was thoughtful and knew that his house was fine. Anyway, she didn't dare to cause trouble at his house!
"Thank you, Village Chief. Do you want to talk about the child? I'll get the silver and come back!" Chi Xiaotong hurriedly took the silver and followed the Village Chief out.
Before leaving, he told Tian Yu to stay home with the children and wait for her to come back. Chen Chengshan was also there, so he could accompany him.
Chi Xiaotong went to find Chen Chengyu first. She was alone and was afraid of being at a disadvantage in facing these things!
"This is the biological mother of the child you picked up! These are the two boys in her family!" The village chief introduced with a stinky face, not even willing to look at the woman!
"Hello! My last name is Yang!" the man took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Hello! Your last name is Chi!" Chi Xiaotong responded in the same way. Since the other party did not reveal his name, there was no need for her to introduce too much.
Chen Chengyu didn't say a word at all. He looked at the two little boys. Their clothes were all patched and too short. They were timid and lowered their heads, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly!
"Sister Chi, let's stop wasting time and just speak directly!"
"Okay." Chi Xiaotong was surprised at the other party's straightforwardness.
"That child is indeed mine. My husband was not very fertile and gave birth to three boys in a row. Our family was already poor, and I was injured some time ago. My family couldn't afford to raise the child, so we threw the child away!"
It sounds nice to say, as if he had no choice. If he really wanted to have a snack, he would not have just thrown the child into the mountains without wrapping him in anything!
"My husband was injured when giving birth to that child, so I want a few taels of silver. I want to give birth to him again and give his father a rest! Don't worry, Sister Yang has told me that from now on, this child is yours, and we will never bother you again!"
"How much do you want?" Chi Xiaotong didn't want to listen to her giving a bunch of reasons. If it was for the sake of the child or her husband, she wouldn't have let her husband give birth all the time, and she wouldn't have almost killed Tuan Tuan.
"Three taels!" The man was also thick-skinned and said it without blushing or feeling nervous.
"Haha, even if you buy a bigger one, you won't need these!" Chen Chengyu sneered. Chi Xiaotong didn't know these, but she was not ignorant and only knew how to read.
"This child is young, he will be filial to you in the future!"
"Small? For a boy this small, why don't you go and ask if anyone is willing to buy it?" Chen Chengyu was not polite.
This time Chi Xiaotong knew about it. Anyway, it had come to this point, so there was no need to worry about being heard by anyone. Chi Xiaotong was not polite!
"I am willing to give him money, just like you said, his father gave birth to him once, so I will give him some money to replenish his body. You are asking for too much money, which is too much!"
"You want my child, but you don't want to pay me? Do you believe me, I'll sue you?"
"Sue me? You need evidence. Who knows if the child is yours?" Having said that, Chi Xiaotong was no longer intimidated by the girl opposite her. It was obvious that she was uneducated. If she was afraid, she would use this to threaten her. Now that she looked indifferent, she did not dare to report to the police!
As a country girl, no one wants to see the official, not to mention that she was the one who was at fault in this matter.
"Then tell me, how much can you give?" The man gritted his teeth and had to swallow his anger.
Chi Xiaotong didn't say anything, she didn't know either, and looked at Chen Chengyu inquiringly.
Chen Chengyu secretly gestured to her.
"One or two!"
"You, too little! Each of you take a step back, two taels!"
Chi Xiaotong frowned. This woman didn't seem like she was good at negotiating and bargaining. It was as if she had anticipated this and someone had given her some advice in advance!
"It's just two taels. If you don't give it to me, I will take the child back. You don't have to care whether he is dead or alive!" Seeing that Chi Xiaotong didn't say anything, the man said loudly.
Chi Xiaotong was even more certain that this person was just bluffing, and now she was obviously scared. It was probably the person behind her who taught her to say that.
I'm sure Chi Xiaotong won't let go, so I'll ask for at least two taels.
Chi Xiaotong pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time before nodding. In her heart, she was secretly happy, saving a tael of silver!
"Then I will go register the child's household registration tomorrow and you are not allowed to appear in front of the child again!"
"Chengcheng, as long as I get the money, I promise not to come again!" The man couldn't hold back and smiled flatteringly: "Also, I heard that you want to buy these two boys? I brought them here, take a look, are you satisfied?"
Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu looked at each other.
Chi Xiaotong had told Chen Chengyu before, and Chen Chengyu scolded Chi Xiaotong for being too kind. But there was no way to really ignore it. Chi Xiaotong heard about it and couldn't just sit back and watch. Someone had intervened, and Chen Chengyu couldn't tell Chi Xiaotong not to care.
Chen Chengyu had been observing them just now. The two children were a little timid, but they looked good. It was unclear what their characters were like.
She didn't want Chi Xiaotong to raise two ungrateful people. She said she was buying people for the sugar factory, but she knew it was just an excuse from Chi Xiaotong.
Chi Xiaotong bought these two boys and thought it was a good thing that he could make them work. He should raise them as his own sons!
They are all the same children. When they come to my side, there is no reason to raise the younger one as a son and order the older one around like a servant. These two have already suffered a lot!
Chi Xiaotong also knew that she was sometimes too loving and a bit saintly. But she also did what she could, and within her ability, she would save as many people as she could!
Chen Chengyu nodded slightly, and Chi Xiaotong was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chen Chengyu, who asked her to ask the village chief what he meant.
Chi Xiaotong looked around the two boys in a pretentious manner and said, "Let's discuss this!"
The village chief understood immediately and took the two of them to another room.
"Village chief, what do you think?"
"These two boys are fine. This woman was often not at home before, she was out making money! The two children should not have been affected much. Their father favors girls over boys, doesn't think highly of them, and doesn't pay much attention to them, just letting them work.
Their family conditions were good before, so they kept them! Now it’s not good anymore, so they don’t want to keep them anymore! This is all I found out!" The village chief only said what he had found out.
Chi Xiaotong nodded and said, "I want to be alone with the two children for a while!"
The village chief nodded and went out. Then the two children came in hand in hand! They were so timid that they dared not look up.
No one in the room spoke. Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu were both looking at the two children. Their silent gazes put great psychological pressure on the two children.
The hands were clasped together, so tightly that they turned white. The head was almost buried in the arms.
Seeing the two children so scared, Chi Xiaotong felt a little soft-hearted!
This reminded her of when she first saw Tian Yu! He was just as timid. These two can still have a companion, but he has always been alone!
