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.
