Chapter 464 - 459 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 14
——————
"Dad, when it all happened, you insisted that I should swallow my grievances, saying harmony in the family is the foundation for success in all endeavors, and that we shouldn’t be too calculating, or what would become of the children?
Dad, I don’t blame you. I know you had my best interests at heart, so I listened. For the sake of Da Hong, Er Qiang, and Xiao Xianzi, I’ve endured all the difficulties and sufferings in the Fan Family!
But this matter of ’adopting out my son’, this, I cannot bear!" Xie Jinghong was crying as she clung to Xie Tiesheng’s lower leg, shaking her head and pleading through tears, seeing her father’s stern face gazing at her, his eyes filled with sorrow.
With tears streaming down her face, she turned around hopelessly, glaring at this man who was her ’husband’ Fan Jiefang, and shrieked hysterically:
"Fan Jiefang, don’t you dare use my father’s words to pressure me! I won’t agree to adoption, never! If you insist on it with your mother and brother, then let’s just get divorced!
I, Xie Jinghong, have hands and feet, am I not capable of supporting the children myself? I can’t face the humiliation of being pointed at and called a ’child swapper’!"
In that era, adoption was not typically considered unless absolutely necessary due to extreme hardships.
After all, children are born of their parents’ flesh and blood, which mother would willingly give away the child she carried for ten months, just like that?
"Second sister, don’t be like this. Dad is just asking, how can we communicate properly with the Fan Family if you act this way? Don’t worry, if you truly don’t want to go through the adoption, and if the Fan Family really forces the issue, then we can just get a divorce. I’ll take care of the children!" Yan Jinsu coaxed and forcefully helped her elder sister to get up.
