The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 822: Visiting Xiu Family (2)

"The Xiu Family’s, where did Xiu Wanli pick this up from? This isn’t the old society, is this how you teach a child?" Upon hearing this, the village party secretary immediately criticized.

It’s also fortunate that things haven’t been as serious as before in recent years; otherwise, these words and actions could have brought about a disaster.

Having also lived through that era, Hu Yun naturally understood this point. She quickly scolded Xiu Wanli, then turned to the party secretary and said, "Secretary, the child is still young, still young, children say the darndest things, say the darndest things, please don’t take this to heart."

After speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Bin. She hadn’t read much, didn’t recognize many words, and could barely write her own name, so she couldn’t understand most of the documents that Jiang Bin had.

But she had seen Xiu Xun’s childhood photo, which indeed looked identical to when she first brought Xiu Xun home.

She and Xiu Jianhong had been married for many years without any children; they couldn’t conceive. There were lots of gossip and idle talk in the village. Later on, a good friend introduced her to a way – a place that specialized in buying and selling children.

In the countryside, especially for a woman, being childless was a very serious matter. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

She had no choice but to take this path.

The first time she saw Xiu Xun, he was hidden among a group of children, looking white and plump, astonishingly cute. She had been desperately wanting a child, and the moment she saw him, she liked him.

The middleman said that the child came from far away and it was impossible for his family to find this place. Even though the child cost two hundred yuan – the family’s income for two entire years, she still purchased him.

At first, she was very scared of being discovered and afraid that the child might be taken away. She cherished the child dearly, taking him everywhere, wishing she could keep him safe in her eyes.

It wasn’t until a year or two later, when there was no word about people searching for their children, that she completely let her guard down.

By then, she really loved the child, believing he was a gift from heaven. She took meticulous care of him, only to discover a few years later that she was pregnant!

Since then, whenever she looked at Xiu Xun, she felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Especially after giving birth to a son of her own, she feared even more that Xiu Xun might someday claim her son’s inheritance. She saw Xiu Xun in an ever more unfavorable light.

However, having raised the child to such an age, already able to work for the family, she naturally wouldn’t abandon him. After all, free labor wasn’t something to turn down. But who would have thought, almost ten years had passed, and his real uncle had actually found him?

This thought still seemed incredible to Hu Yun.

She sized up Jiang Bin’s attire. The last time he and Ruan Jiaojiao came over, she felt he wasn’t an ordinary person. Now seeing his suit and the shiny leather shoes on his feet, she was even more convinced that this man must be wealthy! Perhaps even powerful!

Thinking this, Hu Yun’s mind shifted, and her expression carried a few more smiles as she said to Jiang Bin, "Sir, I myself am illiterate, if you say you are the uncle of my little Xiu, I can’t just take your word for it, can I?"

"There’s evidence here..." Jiang Bin frowned and pushed the documents forward again, but Hu Yun dodged them.

"I’m just a country woman, I can’t understand these things; even if you frame me, I still wouldn’t know. Please don’t bully a country woman like me."
