Wen Qingcheng finished writing the document and put on her cloak with Ye Xiuying. They walked on the snow on the ground, supporting each other as they walked towards the headman's house. They happened to see headman Xu coming out, wearing a black cotton coat, and taking a few people with brooms to sweep the snow at some lonely elderly people's homes.

Xu Lizheng saw the mother and daughter and greeted them. Ye Xiuying took Wen Qingcheng's hand and walked forward to call Xu Lizheng.

The mother and daughter explained the general situation. Xu Lizheng knew that such things were common in Yueya Village. Some people who went up the mountain to collect firewood often found frozen baby girls. Some children had been torn to pieces by wild dogs, leaving only skeletons. Some even threw newborn baby girls into the toilet and drowned them.

When Xu Lizheng heard that this was a good thing to save a life, he immediately agreed to go to Tian's house together.

The three of them came to the door of the Tian family. Wen Qingcheng knocked on the door, and after a while the door opened by itself. Wen Qingcheng felt strange, and when she looked down, she saw a thin little girl. This was probably Tian Zhuang's third daughter, who looked about six or seven years old.

"Hello, little friend, I'm here to see your parents." Wen Qingcheng greeted.

The little girl looked at Wen Qingcheng timidly, turned around and ran into the house. "Dad, the beautiful sister who took my sister away is here."

As soon as Old Mrs. Tian heard it, she knew it was Wen Qingcheng, and thought, how come she came so quickly? Could it be that her mother didn’t agree and sent her back?

When Xing'er, the pregnant woman, heard that Wen Qingcheng had come, she thought she had brought the baby girl back, and she moved off the bed with a pale face. Old Lady Tian gave her a fierce look, and Xing'er immediately shrank back, holding onto the table and crying.

"Mom, please let me see my daughter."

"Don't go anywhere, stay here and don't move!"

After saying this, Old Lady Tian and Tian Zhuang went to the main hall angrily. When they saw Wen Qingcheng and her daughter and the head of the village coming but not carrying the child, their attitude changed immediately.

"Hey, the head of the village is here, come and sit down. Look at the mess in the house, I haven't cleaned it up yet. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Tian Zhuang tidied up briefly and made room for them to sit. As soon as they sat down, they saw Xing'er coming out with dishevelled hair and a pale face. It was a very cold day, and she was only wearing a single layer of clothes and was barefoot, stumbling around in a pair of cloth shoes. She looked around but didn't see her daughter.

"Where is my daughter?" Xing'er looked a little dazed, with a bloody slap mark on her face.

Xu Lizheng knew with a little thought that it must have been Tian Zhuang who beat him. Tian Zhuang was a very honest man in the village, and he did not expect that he would hit a woman who had just given birth. But no matter what, it was their family affair, and it was not appropriate for him, as a village head, to interfere in other people's family affairs.

When Tian Zhuang saw his wife running out in dishevel and there were outsiders here, his face darkened instantly. He came forward to pull her and scolded her, "You damn woman, why don't you get out of here quickly."

Who would have thought that Xing'er, who was usually gentle and docile, didn't listen to what he said at all. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed so hard that Tian Zhuang staggered.

Xing'er ran to Wen Qingcheng and knelt down: "Madam Wen, I know you are a good person. I am not asking you for the child. I want to entrust the child to you. Even if you raise her yourself or give her to someone else, please save her life."

Wen Qingcheng was moved by her sincerity, but she also felt sad that if a mother cannot stand on her own, has no strong character and financial resources, she cannot even protect her own flesh and blood.

"You stand up first. Since I adopted her, I will definitely be responsible for her for life. We came here this time to sign a document in front of the head of the village."

Ye Xiuying stood up and helped Xing'er up, "Mrs. Tian, ​​please get up quickly. The ground is cold. You just gave birth. Why are you wearing such thin clothes?" As she said that, she took off her cloak and put it on Xing'er.

Old Lady Tian and Tian Zhuang looked at each other and felt relieved knowing that the Wen family was not here to return the child.

Xu Lizheng sighed, "In fact, there is no difference between a girl and a boy. When my daughter grows up, it will be the same if she finds a son-in-law. Having a boy or a girl is a matter of fate. It seems that you are not destined to have this child. Since it has been decided, I will not say anything more. I will be a witness and help you write the document."

Tian Zhuang scratched his head and said, "How can we farmers have paper and pen?"

Wen Qingcheng took out a written document from his pocket and slapped it on the table. "I've thought of it a long time ago, Xu Lizheng, please read it to them and sign it if there is no problem."

Xu Lizheng picked up the document and read it word by word. When he finished reading the last word, Tian Zhuang and his mother looked at each other, and Tian Zhuang said loudly:

"What's the logic? Why do they ask my wife to provide breast milk after handing the child over to them? What's the difference between this and raising the child ourselves!"

Old Lady Tian also said, "You have taken all the benefits. You are very shrewd. My daughter-in-law was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to her with untold hardships. Now you took her away and asked us to provide her with breast milk. This is unreasonable in the world."

After hearing this, Xing Er nodded repeatedly: "I am willing to breastfeed, I have milk."

Tian Zhuang pulled Xing'er's hair hard and said, "Shut up."

Old Mrs. Tian was almost mad at her stupid daughter-in-law. Couldn't she see that she was negotiating terms with the Wen family and yet she came out to cause trouble?

Xu Lizheng watched Tian Zhuang beating his wife and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Tian Zhuang, what are you doing? Stop it!"

When Tian Zhuang heard Xu Lizheng's scolding, he stopped what he was doing, panted, and pushed Xing'er away.

Wen Qingcheng sneered, "Old lady, your words don't count. The mother has agreed."

Old Lady Tian snorted, "It's useless for her to agree. Everything she eats and uses is from the Tian family. Without the Tian family to support her, where would she get her milk from?"

Old Mrs. Tian's eyes rolled and a gleam of light flashed in them: "I can sign this document, but I have to change it."

"How do you want to change it?" Xu Lizheng asked.

"Since you have adopted the child, she belongs to your Wen family. You are responsible for her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating." Old Mrs. Tian said in a firm tone.

Wen Qingcheng understood that this old lady Tian wanted them to take the money. Humph, she just couldn't get used to her bad habits. They were rich now, but they were not suckers.

"You were the ones who wanted to throw the girl away. I picked her up. The mother wanted to breastfeed her, so what does it have to do with you? I didn't ask you to breastfeed her. You have a vicious heart to watch your own granddaughter starve."

Tian Zhuang stood up as if his tail was stepped on, and pointed at Wen Qingcheng's forehead: "How dare you talk to my mother like that!"

Wen Qingcheng was also provoked. She stood up and moved towards Tian Zhuang: "How do you want to find it? Come on, point at my forehead. If you want to poke it, you must poke it. Let's agree on the price first, 100 taels of silver, and you can poke it as you like!"

Ye Xiuying stood up and said, "Tian Zhuang, what are you doing? Qingcheng didn't say anything else."

Xu Lizheng said with a straight face: "Okay, everyone sit down. Tian Zhuang, you too, I've never seen you so impulsive before."

Tian Zhuang sat down slowly, still cursing: "Look at what she said. Don't say my mother is vicious. If you weren't a woman, I would have punched you."

Wen Qingcheng sneered: "If you saw that I'm not a woman, you would have shut up long ago. I've seen a lot of men like you, and only your wife tolerates you. Dare to provoke me!"

Wen Qingcheng's eyes were sharp and she was filled with a cold murderous aura. Her face was still as white as snow, but her hands were gradually turning red.
