Chapter 385 - 269: Choosing Silence
Tang Xi, "My name is Tang Xi."
"Then we are good friends now!" Liang Zheng reached out and grabbed Tang Xi’s hand, who subconsciously tried to dodge but couldn’t escape. Liang Zheng childishly swung Tang Xi’s hand back and forth, his smile as pure as that of his daughter Tangtang’s.
He really is a...
Fool.
Tang Xi couldn’t help but ask, "Was he born like this? Haven’t you taken him to a big hospital outside for a check-up?"
Old lady Feng is over seventy this year, her real name being Feng Jiamei.
Seeing that Tang Xi got along well enough with her grandson, she felt relieved and sighed, "Genetic disease, incurable. We spent money, his father went to work because of his illness and died, the factory compensated 500,000, all spent on his treatment, but it was useless."
Feng Jiamei locked Tang Xi in the room, "Behave well, get married to Zheng’er, and you’ll have a good life hereafter. The people in our village won’t make things difficult for you. You’re the prettiest and smartest among those who were brought here; don’t even think about running away because you can’t escape from this village!"
As she was about to close the door, Tang Xi quickly stopped her, unable to hide her urgency as she asked, "What do you mean by that? Are there other girls too? Do you know that trafficking women and children is illegal?"
"Everyone does this, what’s it to me, an old woman? Besides, I didn’t buy you, you didn’t cost me anything when you came to my home. I provide for you and feed you, what law am I breaking? I don’t understand you big city folk, but here in the village, there are rules of our own. It’s getting late, go to sleep, tomorrow you’ll marry Zheng’er."
