Translator: 549690339

Fang Xiu was directly enraged by Aunt Fang’s words, almost losing her sanity. If she hadn’t held back, she might have rushed up and beaten Aunt Fang.

“You were the one who promised to help me look after Taotao in the first place. How can you talk like this now?” Aunt Fang was an aunt from Fang Xiu’s maternal family.

At the time, Fang Xiu had to go take care of Jing Xin. Since she had Jingtao with her, it was inconvenient to look after a patient.

So she found someone to help her look after Taotao and paid them daily for their assistance.

Aunt Fang said she was willing to help look after Taotao, so Fang Xiu trusted her since they were family. But she never expected that what she saw a few days ago was just a façade.

The real truth was so hurtful. If she had known earlier, she would have borne the hardships and taken Taotao with her, rather than entrusting him to Aunt Fang.

Taotao used to be so adorable and lively. But after just a few days, he looked somewhat silly and dull, much more timid than before. She truly regretted leaving Taotao at Aunt Fang’s house.

“If it wasn’t for the money, who would want to take care of your bastard?” Aunt Fang looked at Fang Xiu with disdain. This seductive woman went to lure men and still expected her to properly take care of the child? How could that be possible?

“But you didn’t say that at first. If you didn’t want to do it, you should have never agreed in the first place. Since you took my money, you should have taken good care of Taotao. But look at what you’ve done!” Fang Xiu walked over, hugged Jingtao, and was trembling with anger.

“I have been taking good care of him. He hasn’t been injured or in danger, has he?” Aunt Fang said disdainfully. She was just belittling Fang Xiu with her words.

“But should you say these things in front of a child? What’s the point of saying such insulting words?” Fang Xiu angrily asked.

“There’s no meaning. I’m just annoyed, so I cursed,” Aunt Fang casually replied.

“You’ve gone too far. You’re my own aunt! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?” Fang Xiu asked with red eyes.

“It doesn’t! I didn’t say anything wrong!” Aunt Fang said indifferently, uttering hurtful words.

“Aunt Fang, you’re really too much!” Fang Xiu stepped forward and slapped Aunt Fang.

“Fang Xiu, you seductive woman, how dare you hit me!” Aunt Fang covered her face and looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief.

“Yes, I hit you! Do you know that slandering someone can land you in jail? This slap was actually mild compared to that!” Fang Xiu said fiercely.

“You, with the grass over your dead husband’s grave so tall, what do you and your current situation count for? I’m already looking up to you guys by saying that, and you still talk about slander!” Aunt Fang was initially scared when she heard the word slander and that it could land her in jail.

But after hearing Yu Xiu’s words, she was no longer afraid. Fang Xiu’s husband was dead. Now, she had hooked up with another man. She was not clean at all. So why should she be afraid?

“Well, sorry to say, but the ‘dead husband’ you mentioned is still alive. I’ve been taking care of him for the past few days. Not only are you slandering me, but also him. If you don’t apologize, I’ll have someone stand up for me,” Fang Xiu coldly looked at Aunt Fang and said.

“Humph, who cares about you? You said you went to take care of your dead husband. Is that even true? Who knows?” Aunt Fang said, and then hesitated, turning on her heel to enter the room. She slammed the door shut, leaving Fang Xiu and her son standing outside, staring at each other.

“Mommy,” suddenly Jingtao called out from Fang Xiu’s arms.

“Taotao!” Fang Xiu’s tears fell when she heard him speak.

She didn’t expect her son to start talking at such a time. Moreover, the first words he said were “Mommy.”

This made Fang Xiu’s heart ache. Her child had always been well-behaved since he was in her belly, and he still was even now. It was heartbreaking to see him so good-natured.
