h4Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Negotiating Terms/h4

    Zhao Xiuxia said not to worry about formalities, but she hinted at how difficult it was to raise one or two children, making herself sound like a saint.

    Zhao Jieyun smiled, knowing how difficult and selfish this woman was. She said, "I want to see the swaddle my daughter was held in back then. I want to confirm if she is my child."

    She wanted to see the nket, and then find an opportunity to do a blood test with Sun Chan. If it was indeed her daughter, she would want to take her back. Although not yet confirmed, she had a feeling Sun Chan was her daughter.

    The stubborn look and profile, the whole feeling, was just like herself in those days.

    "We kept it, do you want it?" Zhao Xiuxia’s eyes shifted, she sighed and said, "Sigh! To speak of it, that time was the most difficult for us, our girl couldn’t even eat properly, but thinking this child was pitiful, we kept her. Now she’s gone to the city, and I often think of her, she’s a good girl, I really don’t want her to go."

    "Yes, my sister is indeed good," Sun Lijuan said with a smile: "In our family, it’s just the two of us sisters, which isn’t bad. In other families, they usually have sons, how could two daughters livefortably?"

    "Exactly, exactly. Our family is small, Sun Chan hasn’t suffered much."

    Zhao Jieyun said, "But before I came, I heard my daughter’s household registration had been transferred away. And I heard that you chased her in the city, trying to sell her to some thug families in the vige."

    Their faces changed. Then they both denied it together, Zhao Xiuxia angrily said, "Nothing of the sort! Who is spreading such nonsense here? Aren’t they afraid of retribution!"

    Father Yang said, "Don’t worry, when the timees, we’ll ask Sun Chan, what’s true can’t be faked, and what’s false can’t be true. Don’t get excited."

    Hearing this, Sun Lijuan panicked, she never imagined such a time woulde, that wealthy city people woulde back looking for Sun Chan! She had bullied Sun Chan quite a bit back then, now what should be done?

    Zhao Xiuxia smiled, "There was no bullying, it’s just that the kid was quite stubborn, and wouldn’t listen to advice. You know I’m not very educated, didn’t understand things, so I had to hit a few times, and there were household chores that needed doing, weren’t there? So others exaggerated."

    What’s wrong if I hit her, or made her work, or even thought of selling her for a dowry? Anyway, the whole vige custom is like this, how do you have the nerve to scold me?

    "Yes, we did hear something like that," said Father Yang coldly.

    Actually, the vigers didn’t know everything. If they knew Sun Chan was almost sold to Xiong’er Ridge, and Sun Lijuan tried to frame Sun Chan’s fiancé while pregnant, Zhao Jieyun might want to kill them. They just don’t know yet.

    Father Yang said, "Moreover, I heard that you let her quit school before even finishing elementary school."

    "Who’s spouting nonsense! Sun Chan inly didn’t like studying, wouldn’t listen no matter what I said. I couldn’t force her to study together with me!" Zhao Xiuxiamented.

    Father Yang said, "I know Sun Chan. She’s still studying on her own now, nning to apply to adult vocational school. If she didn’t like studying, why would she trouble herself?"

    Yang Zhen had mentioned it before, upon seeing a resemnce, asked indirectly when they met, learned Sun Chan always loved studying, but her foster mother didn’t like it and pulled her out to work. Now she was working part-time while studying on her own.

    So how could one believe Zhao Xiuxia’s words now? The atmosphere grew cold.

    Zhao Xiuxia sobbed, "This child... Why do this? Isn’t she bringing harm to me? I tried to make her study before, she wouldn’t, now she wants to. Isn’t she understanding toote?"

    In any case, just not admitting anything.

    "The past is the past, since we’re both Sun Chan’s mothers, let’s treat our families as rtives from now on." Zhao Xiuxia wasn’t shy, grabbing Zhao Jieyun’s hand, only to have it pushed away.

    Zhao Jieyun said, "I understand you can’t treat her very well, she’s not your own after all, I won’t me you. No matter what, without you, my child would starve to death. Whether you were kind or not, the person isn’t dead, we’re grateful for that."

    Almost drove my daughter to death, and now you have the nerve to ask us to be rtives? Dream on!

    Zhao Xiuxia awkwardly coughed a few times, moving herself a bit inside on the bed, "So you mean it’s over, and we just raised her for nothing for these ten years? If this spreads, people would just say you city folks have no sense."

    Zhao Jieyunughed, "Of course not. Birth grace isn’t as nurturing grace. But as for how to repay you, I’ll ask Sun Chan after and then decide."

    "That dead girl... No, that girl has always disliked the vige, wants to be a city person, won’t say anything good about me. But you can’t just listen to her one-sided words, can you?" Zhao Xiuxia started to get anxious, realizing this woman wasn’t easy to deal with, not like amb being ughtered and giving whatever was demanded. At first, she nned to cut them like leeks bit by bit, but it seemed no longer possible now.

    "I have urgent business now, need to get back quickly, why don’t we just talk directly, what do you really want?" Zhao Jieyun didn’t want to waste words any more, she said tly.

    "Let me be honest with you, back then life was hard in the vige, even eating was a problem. It was difficult raising her, a t price, five thousand yuan!" Zhao Xiuxia raised five fingers, "Let it be, let this girl no longer have anything to do with us."

    Sun Lijuan got a bit anxious, "Mom..."

    "Shut up, this is none of your business." Zhao Xiuxia had already seen, relying on them to bully was impossible, it’s better to go for profit.

    Zhao Jieyun said, "Impossible. Don’t even think about five thousand yuan."

    Zhao Xiuxia’s eyes widened, Zhao Jieyun said, "Even if it were for filial piety, it’s my daughter growing up to be filial to you. During the time of the household registration change, how you discussed taking care of elderly, I’ve heard. I think it’s quite good. I won’t interfere. We can only mean well since you’re not the kind who cling for profit, aren’t you?"

    Father Yang also said, "Indeed, there’s no one in the world who treats a child badly, beats them from young to old, nearly sold my daughter for dowry, and then pretends to be nice when there is profit to be made. I believe you couldn’t have done such."
