When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

As a result, this evil woman forgot about Kaiyang, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

No one in this family looked for their child who had not been seen for many days, as if Kaiyang did not exist at all.

No one brought him any food or drink for many days.

Later, his half-brother accidentally found him. Kaiyang's unconscious appearance made him mistakenly believe that someone was dead.

“Ah…ah…ah…” screams.

This really scared him. Children are afraid of seeing dead people. Although he didn't like Kaiyang, he didn't expect Kaiyang to die!

His shouting attracted the crowd.

At that time, Shi Yi and Tian Jizi were buying supplies in this town.

A neighbor lady in Kaiyang happened to hear about this incident and cursed the stepmother for her evil heart.

"Bah! Ever since she came into the family, Kaiyang has been suffering. He used to be so strong and sturdy, but now he is pale and skinny. She even said how hard she worked to take care of her stepson. Bah! What a dirty family."

The woman stood at the door and cursed loudly without stopping. Everyone could hear it clearly.

Because her two houses are separated by only a wall, what she says is highly credible!

Kaiyang's father squatted in the corner of the yard, huddled down and said nothing!

His wife wanted to jump out, but she was afraid of the neighbor lady's fighting ability, so she could only stand in the yard and curse at her!

"If you feel bad for him, then take him home and raise him. Everyone can say nice things to him! It's easy for you to talk, but our family can barely make ends meet. This half-grown kid is eating me out of money, and we really can't afford to support him!"

The stepmother pretended to be crying and complaining. The neighbor lady couldn't stand her hypocritical behavior and directly exposed her shortcomings:

"Your family can't afford to support him? Why doesn't your own son go hungry? You only harm your first wife's child. Do you still consider yourself a human being? Bah! You are a vixen in human form."

The old lady spoke in a hoarse voice and refused to give in. She really couldn't bear to watch it anymore!

Originally, this family got along well with her family, but she didn't expect that after the kind-hearted young lady left, the man in her family would be such a worthless person that he allowed his stepmother to mistreat his own son.

Kaiyang is also his biological son, and he was loved dearly. How could his father become so cold to him after he lost his mother?

It's too beastly!

Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs!

So I stopped associating with his family, simply because I looked down on the cowardly man in this family.

Poor little Kaiyang, she always fed him steamed buns secretly, otherwise Kaiyang would not have lived to the age of twelve and would have been starved to death by his unscrupulous parents.

This time, she hadn't seen Kaiyang for several days. She searched for him many times at the place where he worked but couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, he was locked up in the woodshed by his stepmother.

This vicious woman clearly wants to kill this child.

When the child is outside, everyone feels sorry for him and gives him some food from time to time to barely sustain himself. But if he were locked up, no one would be able to help him.

Wouldn’t that mean you’d starve to death?

The aunt's persistence attracted many villagers, and everyone blamed the stepmother.

But the stepmother was not afraid at all, and did not care about her face. She shouted angrily:

"You have good hearts? If you have good hearts, why don't you give me some money? Is he pitiful? If he is pitiful, why didn't he send me a grain of rice? His own maternal family doesn't care about anything, and you are the ones who are meddling in other people's business!"

After Kaiyang's mother passed away, the people from her mother's family came for a visit and then left. No one knew what happened, and they never came again.

The old lady refused to give in: "Why should someone else raise your husband's child? If you didn't want to raise it, why did you become the daughter-in-law of this family? How come you didn't know they already had a child before you married in? Why are you pretending to be confused? You are so cruel! And you insist on using what you did not do as the right thing. Aren't you afraid of retribution for harming someone else's child?"

I didn't expect that when the man finally mustered up the courage to come out, he didn't do it to protect his son who was almost killed, but to defend his vicious daughter-in-law.

"This is... this is my family's business, so... there's no need for you folks to worry about it!" After saying that, he closed the door tightly and hid back in the yard.

Oh my god! He is still a man!

Even though his own child was being tortured like this, he acted as if nothing had happened. What's even worse is that he didn't allow anyone to blame his wife.

Why didn't he use this courage to protect his own children?

It's like a piece of crap that can't be helped!

A father like him is more disgusting than that vicious stepmother!

Everyone was so angry that they threw their sleeves and left. What a fool!

No matter what he does!

But no one cared, and the only one who suffered was Kaiyang's child.

The old lady is a widow herself, and she has three older sons to support. If she really wanted to take Kaiyang back, she couldn't just watch him being tortured to death!

If she can support three sons by herself, why can't the family support two children?

In the final analysis, it's just bullying Kaiyang because he has no mother.

The old lady cried out to the villagers with tears in her eyes, "Don't give lip service to the monk, but give lip service to the Buddha. Think about Kaiyang's mother. She is such a good woman. We can't just do nothing, can we? The child is starving to death. Please save Kaiyang!"

Some people couldn't bear to approach the old lady, but were pulled back by their own boss:

"It's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs. Look at Kaiyang's father's attitude. He is his biological father after all! We are all outsiders. How can we intervene?"

On the surface, these words were spoken to his wife, but in reality, they were spoken to his aunt.

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I can’t care.

The biological father is partial to the stepmother and doesn't care about the life and death of his own flesh and blood. How can outsiders control it?

Seeing that they were hopeless, the old lady slapped her thigh and gave up, shouting:

"Fox spirit! Give Kaiyang to me and I will raise him. But this child will have nothing to do with your family anymore. Everyone, please be a witness!"

When the stepmother in the yard heard this, she ran out happily to open the door.

"Do you mean what you said? Don't go back on your word after you've said it, we need to have a written agreement!"

The look of someone finally getting rid of a burden was too glaring.

The old lady snorted and sneered:

"Kaiyang is already twelve years old. If you take good care of him for another year or two, he will be able to earn a living on his own. When the time comes, don't be envious and ask for money back."

In fact, the aunt was deliberately reminding the stepmother to treat the child well so that he would be able to earn money to support the family soon.

She had several half-grown boys at home, and it was very difficult to raise them. Kaiyang had a particularly big appetite, so she originally wanted her stepmother to accept Kaiyang.

But the stepmother refused to listen, so she quickly found a scholar who could write, wrote the document, and asked several villagers to be witnesses to finalize the matter.

I’m afraid that the neighbor lady who has been taken advantage of will regret it!
