The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 823: Visiting the Xiu Family (3)

"Furthermore, even if you really are, so what? My youngest son is the apple of my eye, I can’t afford to lose him," Hu Yun said, attempting to pull Xiu Xun over. But similarly, before she could touch him, Xiu Xun dodged away.

Hu Yun felt slightly embarrassed, her complexion unconsciously turning ugly. Right when she was about to compel Xiu Xun to come over, she heard Jiang Bin say, "I know you’ve had a tough time raising him these years, our Jiang Family is also grateful to the Xiu Family. Just name your price, as long as it’s reasonable, we can satisfy it."

Hu Yun’s heart leapt with joy upon hearing this, but she made a troubled expression on her face.

"You really hurt me with those words. We’ve raised him for so many years and treated him like our own son—it really has nothing to do with money." Saying this, she got emotionally agitated, and ran into the main house, came out with a bamboo pole, and started driving Jiang Bin and the Captain away, yelling at the same time, "People, come quickly, someone’s trying to kidnap the child!"

"That’s enough from the Xiu Family," Wu Guoqun thought Hu Yun was smart, but didn’t expect her to be tough to handle. He said sternly, "Human trafficking is illegal to begin with, you’ve already broken the law. Now you have a chance to make amends, don’t you realize you should repent..."

"Oh my, Captain, aren’t you afraid that such words would chill people’s hearts?" Hu Yun made a heartbroken expression: "Do you think just because my husband isn’t home today, you can bully a woman? I’m telling you, no way!"

She threw down the bamboo pole and ran outside, sitting down on the road in front of the courtyard, wailing loudly, "Come see, is there no justice left? The Captain won’t even help his own villagers, and now he’s bringing outsiders to kidnap a child from my household!"

"Poor me, a woman all alone at home with the head of the household gone—it’s simply unbearable." While shouting, she started to cry again, feigning grief.

During this season, the farmers didn’t have much work, so most of them were idle at home. Hearing the commotion from the Xiu Family, neighbors close by ran out to see what was happening, and those farther away craned their necks gazing over, slowly gathering around.

Jiang Bin’s only interaction in Xiahe Village had been with the Ruan Family, and he thought all farming families were as simple and kind as them.

Even though he knew that Xiu Family hadn’t treated Xiu Xun well, he was still grateful and intended to give them a generous compensation even if they were to take Xiu Xun away. He had absolutely not anticipated it would turn out like this.

They were just discussing things amiably, how did Hu Yun suddenly change faces like turning the pages of a book? He was still somewhat dumbfounded at this moment. freewёbnoνel.com

Seeing the pointing fingers and whispering onlookers, Jiang Bin, who wasn’t accustomed to handling such situations, blushed excessively.

Wu Guoqun and the village secretary were quite infuriated. They knew the Xiu Family was a bit overbearing, but hadn’t expected they’d be so unreasonable. Did she think making a big fuss would benefit her in any way?

Such ignorance!

Human trafficking has always been illegal—Jiang Bin didn’t want to go down that path. Recognizing the face of Xiahe Village and the Xiu Family, he didn’t expect the Xiu Family would be so oblivious and make a scene known to everyone—how would this be handled if it were investigated later?

The more Wu Guoqun thought about it, the angrier he got, and his expression became increasingly grim.

But in Hu Yun’s eyes, this had another meaning; she thought making a huge fuss had put them in a difficult position, and she could ask for a hefty sum later.
