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.
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.
