Chapter 434: It’s a Trick
However, when they thought about their son Dafu Dagui not coming home all night, they believed that this matter was related to Xiuying's family, and they were right this time.
Thinking of this, the two of them seemed to regain their confidence, and instantly regained their self-confidence, feeling that they could do it again.
Tian Guilan put on a deliberate smile and said gently, "Sixth and seventh brothers, Dafu Dagui is missing." As she spoke, she bent down slightly, trying to close the distance between her and the two children, but there was a barely perceptible cunning in her eyes.
Zhao Cunliang also quickly echoed: "Yeah, what do you say we should do? He hasn't come back for a whole night." He pretended to look worried and kept shaking his head and sighing.
When Xiao Laoliu heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he looked at Tian Guilan in surprise. His eyes were clear and ignorant. His pink lips were slightly open, and he looked incredulous.
Seeing Xiao Laoliu's reaction, Tian Guilan felt secretly pleased with herself. She straightened her back, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. In her mind, children are always children. They can't stand the slightest scare and will be scared.
I only heard the little Laoliu say in a crisp voice: "Aunt, is Dafu Dagui your and uncle's biological child?" There was a hint of innocent surprise in his tone.
When Zhao Cunliang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open, thinking to himself: What? Is there something I don't know? Why would he suddenly ask such a strange question?
Tian Guilan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Zhao Cunliang's eyes, which instantly ignited with rage. She immediately panicked and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? What right do you have to say that Dafu Dagui is not my biological child? How can you, at such a young age, already be such a gossipmonger?"
Little Laoliu was so frightened by Tian Guilan's sudden shouting that her whole body trembled. She subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, lowered her head slightly, and said pitifully with tears in her eyes: "This is...what my aunt said herself!"
When Zhao Cunliang heard this, veins on his forehead bulged like an enraged bull. Without thinking, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Tian Guilan in the face with a loud slap.
The slap was so powerful that Tian Guilan fell to the ground. "You're such an unfaithful bitch! You cheated on me and gave birth to two little bastards! You kept me in the dark for so many years. Do you think you deserved it?"
Tian Guilan was dazed by the slap, and a bright red mark instantly appeared on her face. She was stunned for a moment, then let out a shrill cry. She sat on the ground, slapping her hands. "Don't listen to that little bitch's nonsense, boss! Dafu Dagui is truly our biological child. I swear to heaven, if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
After wailing for a while, Tian Guilan suddenly turned her attention to Xiao Laoliu, glaring at her fiercely. "When did I tell you this? How could you lie to me at such a young age? You're deliberately trying to kill me, you heartless little bitch!"
Zhao Cunliang looked at his daughter-in-law, who was crying her heart out on the ground. Seeing her heartbroken, she didn't seem to be faking it. Furthermore, the face of Dafu Dagui involuntarily emerged in his mind. Thinking carefully, the two children did bear some resemblance to him. Of his sons, the youngest, in particular, had the exact same features as himself.
Zhao Cunliang's expression softened slightly at this thought, but his doubts remained. He slowly turned to look at Little Six, questioning, "When did she say that? You're so young, you can't just talk nonsense here. If you don't have a decent explanation, don't blame me for being rude! What evidence do you have to prove that Dafu Dagui isn't my son? You must explain it to me today, or this matter will never end!"
Little Laoliu curled her lips, her little face full of disdain, and said crisply: "If Dafu Dagui is your biological child, and he disappeared, why didn't you go looking for him or report to the police, but instead ran to us to cause trouble? We sisters are not gods, can we really make someone appear out of thin air for you?" She raised her little head slightly and retorted to Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan with confidence.
When Zhao Cunliang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that he had been too impulsive and had wronged Tian Guilan. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say to smooth things over.
Seeing that she was finally cleared of the charges, Tian Guilan suddenly became excited. She suddenly got up from the ground, stared at Xiao Laoliu fiercely, and shouted, "Xiao Laoliu, I'm not done with you! You little girl, how dare you frame me? I'll teach you a lesson today!" As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Xiao Laoliu with great momentum.
The maidservant brought by Lamei was quick-witted and quick-handed. She rushed forward and stopped her steadily, shouting, "What are you doing? You are such a grown-up, and you are still arguing with a child. Aren't you ashamed? You just believe everything a child says. You are such a fool! Your son is missing, and instead of looking for him everywhere, you come here to cause trouble with a child. If you don't know me, you would think you are mentally ill!"
Every word the maid spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting Tian Guilan's heart.
"What can this child understand? As an elder, you are not only unstable, but also so unreasonable. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" The maid continued to scold without mercy.
Tian Guilan's face flushed crimson after being rebuked by the maid. She opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Her heart was like a jar of mixed emotions, a whirlwind of emotions welling up inside her. Every word the maid said was like a sharp knife, piercing her sore spot, and every word made perfect sense.
Normally, what mother wouldn't be distraught when her son, a wealthy and powerful man, didn't return home overnight? Yet, she was now entangled with a child, appearing ridiculous. She had a hidden reason for doing so.
Her son had disappeared from Xiuying's bamboo forest, and he had gone to steal her bamboo shoots. If this were to get out, her family would be completely disgraced. She knew she was in the wrong, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it.
How could she possibly tell the truth? If she told the truth, not only would she be laughed at, but she would also completely lose her confidence in the confrontation with Xiuying's family. So, even though she was furious, she could only force herself to hold it in.
