Chapter 331: The Cruel Family
Zhu Xiangyao nodded. "Okay, I will listen to Father."
"If it is a girl, throw her away. Later, just say you had a miscarriage outside. No one will know." Zhu Guifu was quite ruthless in many ways.
Zhu Xiangyao thought for a moment, feeling a bit of pity. "Father, she is still my child."
"Girls are not worth anything." Zhu Guifu spoke directly, not allowing Zhu Xiangyao to refuse.
Gan Juhua nodded beside them. "Yes. If it is a girl, throw her away. If there is no child, there is no fine. You won’t lose your job. This is good."
Zhu Xiangyao wanted to say something, but seeing Zhu Guifu’s determined face, he could not refuse.
Seeing Zhu Xiangyao’s hesitation, Zhu Guifu said directly, "A real man must make hard choices. For this family, you must be cruel when necessary."
"Yes." Although Zhu Xiangyao still felt pity, he agreed.
The Zhu Shunyao family did not know about Zhu Guifu’s plan. When they returned home, Xie Xinlian was still angry. Zhu Shunyao comforted her, seeing her mood. "Don’t be angry. With me here, no one dares to take our Doumiao."
"If they dare, I will bite them." Zhu Zhibin waved his small fist nearby, acting like a little adult.
"Yes. Our Doumiao is the strongest. If anyone dares to take you, just bite them." Zhu Shunyao did not forget to teach his son.
Xie Xinlian laughed and cried at the same time. "You father and son… But this is not over. They dare to think about taking our Doumiao? Tomorrow, I will take Doumiao to Gǎn'ēn Village. I will tell Grandpa."
"That is good." Zhu Shunyao agreed after a brief thought. Although this seemed finished, the Zhu Guifu family had no bottom line. He did not know what they might do next. It was better to ask his father-in-law for advice. Elders had experienced more than he had. Listening to them was never wrong.
Zhu Yanli played with Zhu Zhibin nearby. "Doumiao was very brave today. You spoke loudly to them." She gave a thumbs-up to praise him.
Zhu Zhibin laughed happily, looking very proud. "Sister Ani said, ambition does not depend on age. So I am not afraid. I am Mom and Dad’s son. If they dare to take me, I must fight back."
"Yes." Zhu Yanli nodded. "To praise Doumiao’s brave action, what reward do you want?"
"I want a lollipop." Zhu Zhibin said directly.
Zhu Yanli poked Zhu Zhibin’s nose. "Since you are so brave, I reward you with a lollipop. But do not eat it all at once. If your teeth get bad, it will be bad."
"Eldest Sister is the best. I like Eldest Sister the most." Zhu Zhibin quickly flattered her.
"Last time you said Sister Ani was the best." Zhu Yanli teased him. Zhu Zhibin covered his ears with his small hands. "I did not hear that."
Seeing Zhu Zhibin’s cute action, Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian’s gloomy moods lifted.
The next day, Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian took the children to the Xie family, carrying local specialties. They told Xie Zhong about what happened the day before.
After listening, Xie Zhong’s face darkened slightly. "The fourth branch of the Zhu family is too arrogant. Shunyao, what do you plan to do next?" Originally, no matter what, the fourth branch had raised Zhu Shunyao. So Xie Zhong, although he disliked them, had not spoken up. Even when his daughter was wronged, he had not intervened. He did not expect them to push their luck further.
