Reborn and hastily married to a military officer, the aloof beauty's medical skills bring prosp

Mu Huaixi dodged her aunt's pull, but the aunt persisted, shamelessly grabbing Xiao Huihui's hand and stuffing something into it.

Little Grey was usually very brave, but this time he was so frightened that he screamed loudly. When Mu Huaixi saw his reddened wrist, she immediately got angry.

She handed the child to Ying Mingcheng and said sarcastically to her uncle and aunt, "If I remember correctly, we've already severed ties. Should we go to the police station to check the records?"

Back then, in order to prevent future troubles, Ying Mingcheng specially had Lao Wei sign a separation agreement with the two of them. This was originally supposed to be signed with their biological parents, but he was worried that the family would use their experience of raising Xiao Xi as leverage, so he prepared it in advance.

"Didn't Uncle sign it so quickly back then? How come he's forgotten now?"

Uncle Mu's face flushed red, but he gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Sever ties? I've raised you for so long, can't a piece of paper sever those ties?"

"Why didn't you say this when you signed it? Just this piece of paper severing ties saved you half a year of imprisonment. Now you want to claim kinship, why don't you go to the police station first and renew it?"

The thought of those six months of suffering made both the uncle and aunt shudder.

Her aunt's gaze lingered on her, drifting over the gold bracelet on her wrist and the gold earrings on her earlobes. In the end, greed overcame fear. "Xiaoxi, even if you don't acknowledge us anymore, you still have to repay the kindness of raising you back then, right? If someone doesn't repay a debt of gratitude, they might take it out on their child..."

Mu Huaixi was furious, but then Ying Mingcheng stepped forward and grabbed his uncle by the collar, yelling, "Shut your wife's mouth!"

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" Aunt rushed forward immediately. She knew that soldiers did not hit women, so she tried to use her fat body to push Ying Mingcheng away.

Ying Mingcheng, however, remained unmoved no matter how much she pushed him. He said coldly, "If you lay a hand on me again, I'll take you to the police station!"

Other words might not have been of any use, but these words made my aunt tremble with fright.

She immediately let go, and after being scolded by her uncle, she remembered that the man in front of her was a soldier, not a military doctor, but Mu Huaixi stopped her.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't bother."

"There are gods watching over us. If we're going to take revenge, we'll take it out on you first!"

"Are your daughters still in contact with you? Why haven't I seen Mu Huaimin? Has he stopped associating with you?"

Mu Huaixi was not making things up. Given Mu Zhao and Mu Huaimin's character, these two elders had neither money nor reputation after they were released. How could the Mu family's children, who were only interested in profit, possibly support them anymore?

These words really hit Auntie's sore spot. She burst into tears, sat on the ground, and slapped her thigh. "Look at you! We raised you, and even if we didn't do anything special, we still worked hard for you! Just because we didn't find you a good family, you sent your aunt and uncle to jail! Mu Huaixi, you have no conscience!"

Mu Huaixi remained unmoved. She grabbed Ying Mingcheng's hand and sneered, "Aunt, we don't have time to listen to your beating around the bush. The past is history, and justice will prevail. If I have committed a crime, the police will naturally arrest me."

"You little slut, you won't listen to reason!" Aunt Mu cursed inwardly, but outwardly she held onto Mu Huaixi's trouser leg tightly, pleading, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, please help us for the sake of the past... no, for the sake of your grandfather!"

"Your cousin got scammed! He was bewitched by that vixen at the guesthouse, got married, had a child, and took them all to her house. My poor grandson, he was only two years old when he lost his grandparents! I miss my grandson so much!"

"Your cousin secretly showed us. That woman grabbed him and walked away, hands on her hips, cursing at us!"

“Your cousin, my eldest grandson is a good person! It’s that vixen who’s controlling us and won’t let us see our grandson. She doesn’t even recognize her mother-in-law and father-in-law.”

"You can tell me how heartless that family is, it's really..."

The eldest aunt, amidst a cacophony of birdsong and fragrant flowers, launched into a tirade against her cousin-in-law, whom she had never met before.

Mu Huaixi couldn't help but feel relieved that her third uncle had just taken the children away; even she would feel uncomfortable if the place were so dirty.

"Let's go." She pulled Ying Mingcheng and was about to leave, really unwilling to spoil her aunt.

The aunt rolled over and sat up abruptly, wiping her face with her filthy hands until she was unrecognizable. She lay down in front of the two men and said, "I don't care. You two have to find your cousin a job. If you find him a job, that vixen won't be able to control your grandson anymore. Let's go to the police station! Have your man get Huaimin arrested!"

"Heh." Mu Huaixi crossed her arms. Her aunt really treated work like a cabbage, and the police station was just fine. "That's impossible. You two have been in jail before, the police station will never want him."

Did she think she didn't know? It must be that Mu Huaimin disliked the two of them for not being able to find jobs for him, so he pushed his wife out to get rid of the couple.

She shook her head, feeling sad for her uncle's family who were scheming against each other.

The consequence of refusing her uncle and aunt's invitation was that the next morning, a lot of smelly pig manure was thrown in front of her third uncle's house, and a thin little girl was tied to the door.

Her third aunt pointed in the direction of her eldest uncle's house and started cursing, then sighed and carried the dazed child inside.

"This is...?" Mu Huaixi was shocked. Could it be that her uncle and aunt were having another baby at this time?

Auntie looked at her with a troubled expression. "Sigh, they suddenly brought her back from the city. They say she's your sister Mu Zhao's..."

"Huh?" Mu Huaixi's eyes widened. So, not only did Zhang Laosan beat her into a miscarriage, but she also had a child with someone else while he was in jail!

"What a tragedy! To give birth and not raise the child is truly a tragedy!" Auntie San shook her head and coaxed the little girl into the kitchen to wash her face.

Mu Huaixi also felt guilty. According to her third aunt, the baby should be almost two years old, about the same age as Xiao Heping, but he was shorter than a one-year-old, his wrists were not even as thick as bamboo strips, and he was skin and bones.

"Does your uncle often let her over?" Mu Huaixi frowned. Why would he not raise his own granddaughter but let his third uncle raise her? Wouldn't that just cause trouble?

"No, there isn't any," Auntie San wiped the child's face and gave her a small piece of egg white. Watching her nibble away like a hamster, she sighed and said, "The two of them can't even feed themselves, how could they possibly feed the child? The villagers often see her catching insects and frogs outside, so they give her a bite whenever they see her."

"How pitiful!"

Mu Huaixi was shocked by her third aunt's words and was in a daze all day.

Ying Mingcheng saw this and, before putting the two children to sleep that night, asked her, "Do you want to take the little girl away?"

The poor child still doesn't have a name, she's just called Niu Niu, just like the stray cats outside who only have the name Mimi.

“I…” Mu Huaixi hesitated, “She’s suffering a lot, she might not be able to survive here.”

It's actually very dangerous for young girls in the village to be left unsupervised. They might be married off before they're even ten years old, or they might be abused before they even reach marriageable age. She couldn't bear it.

But she is Mu Zhao's daughter.

“I’m afraid I’ll end up like that farmer, and I’m also afraid that if she goes astray in the future, I’ll think, ‘Ah, she really is Mu Zhao’s daughter.’”

Mu Huaixi smiled bitterly.
