Chapter 146 Why do you want to go against me?
Shen Yitian’s words shocked Yue Niang and Song Xiaer as well.
"I took her in?" Yue Niang pointed at herself and asked in surprise.
She has never given birth to a child, but now she is inexplicably given birth to a rich child. Shen Yitian even asked her to take in Song Xiaer...
"I've never been a mother, so I don't know how to teach a child." She refused subconsciously.
Song Xiaer looked at Shen Yitian in astonishment, then looked at Yue Niang who was holding Fugui'er tightly but didn't even look at her, and bit her lip.
"Please, Sister Shen, please take me in. I really have nowhere to go." She begged while crying.
As soon as Maidong saw the child kneeling down, he immediately came over to pull him up.
"Oh, whose little girl is crying so sadly? Yes, a woman made a mistake on the road and was beaten to death, leaving a little girl in the exile group. That must be you."
Song Xiaer stopped kowtowing with his support, looked at him with tearful eyes, and nodded.
"It's so pitiful. She lost her mother at such a young age." Maidong wiped her tears and wanted to pull her up.
I don’t know if Shen Yitian was being overly suspicious or what, but she seemed to see Mai Dong’s hand touching Song Xiaer’s abdomen.
It's obvious that you can just hold the girl's hand to help her up, why did you touch her more...
Mai Dong didn't look at Shen Yitian at this time. His attention was all on Song Xiaer.
Song Xiaer's skin was tanned during the journey, but she still looked good and had a timid look, looking like a very well-behaved girl.
"Or, you can come back with me. My wife gave birth to three sons in a row, and gave birth to another one two days ago. There are so many boys in the house, and I just want a well-behaved daughter." Maidong touched Song Xiaer's face again.
"Sister Yue Niang." Shen Yitian suddenly spoke.
"Yeah." Yue Niang looked up at Shen Yitian.
"If you take Xia'er in, I'll help you buy land and build a house." Shen Yitian said.
Originally, she only intended to help Yue Niang, but now, she had to put forward conditions.
She had just heard Maidong say that his wife had given birth to another son, and his tone was full of regret, but she also saw the lust flash in Maidong's eyes.
That look doesn't look like a father looking at his daughter.
Song Yuerong is already that old, and has her mother by her side, so it is not her turn to interfere with what path Song Yuerong chooses.
But Xia'er is still so young, she can't let such a young girl go home with a man with a lewd look on his face.
Even if he didn't have any excessive thoughts, Shen Yitian would rather think that she was overthinking it than take the risk.
Otherwise, she would have a thorn in her heart whenever she thought of this matter in the future, and would always worry about Xia'er.
Yue Niang bit her lip, thought about it, and finally agreed.
"Okay, I'll take her in, but she has to listen to me like Fugui'er and work."
With the fish catch to be delivered every day, Yue Niang really doesn't have the energy to support a young lady who does nothing.
Shen Yitian nodded and said, "Of course, you can raise her the same way you raised Fugui'er. I asked you to take in an adopted daughter, not to ask you to take a young lady back home."
Song Xiaer looked at Mai Dong timidly, and wanted to run over immediately after hearing what was said here.
"Oh, why bother? You can't even get enough to eat." Maidong laughed.
"Such a little girl, if she comes back with me to my house, she won't need more than a pair of chopsticks. My family can even help her deliver the fish she caught."
It can be seen that Maidong really wants to take Song Xiaer home.
Song Xiaer didn't know whether it was out of fear of strangers or for some other reason, but she tried her best to run towards Shen Yitian.
But as a little girl, how could she possibly outperform a fisherman like Maidong who fishes all year round?
Even if an ordinary adult held her like this, it would be difficult for her to escape, let alone someone like Maidong who does heavy work all year round.
Shen Yitian said: "She doesn't need to go back with you, someone will adopt her."
At this time, her face looked very bad.
She didn't want to care about what the village chief did, as long as she didn't get fooled. But if he wanted to take Song Xiaer back by force, she definitely wouldn't let him.
"I say, young lady, why do you start to oppose me as soon as you enter the village?" Mai Dong raised his head with dissatisfaction and looked at Shen Yitian.
From questioning the way he arranged to deliver the fish, to later delaying the payment for the land to build a house, and now preventing him from bringing the little girl home...
"When did I ever go against you? I'm just an exiled prisoner. How dare I go against the village chief?" Shen Yitian shrugged, looking innocent.
She was just protecting herself.
"I'm taking this little girl back. Why are you stopping me?" Mai Dong asked sternly.
The others looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.
Shen Yitian looked at Song Xiaer: "Are you willing to go back with her?"
Song Xiaer shook her head repeatedly: "Sister Shen, I want to follow you."
Maidong's face suddenly became uglier, and he pulled Song Xiaer's hand even harder.
"You little girl, how can you not tell good from evil? She's also a prisoner, what good can you get from following her?"
Song Xiaer's face was twisted in pain from his pinch.
"I want to follow Sister Shen, I want to follow Sister Shen." She cried and shouted, and Shen Yitian couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
"Let her go." She pursed her lips and shouted.
Maidong was determined to bring Song Xiaer home.
"You're a prisoner, so you have no right to speak here. You know, it's a blessing for this child that I'm taking her home. Otherwise, such a little girl would definitely not survive this winter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden pain in his hand. Looking down, he saw that a sharp rock had pierced his arm.
Shen Yitian looked up and saw Ye the Hunter slowly retract his hand, then turned around with an indifferent expression and looked towards the other side of the rocky mountain.
"Who dares to attack me!" Mai Dong instantly withdrew his hand that was tightly grasping Song Xiaer and roared.
He didn't see that it was the person on the distant stone mountain who made the move, he just looked at Shen Yitian angrily.
Shen Yitian pursed her lips and said, "Why are you looking at me? You don't think a weak woman like me can hurt you, do you?"
After saying that, he waved to Song Xiaer: "Xiaer, come here quickly."
At this time, Song Xiaer was no longer caught by Mai Dong, but she was crying and forgot to react. When she heard Shen Yitian's call, she hurriedly ran towards her.
"Sister Yue Niang, keep an eye on her." Shen Yitian said again.
Song Xiaer was stunned for a moment, seeming a little unwilling, but when she saw Maidong coming to catch her again, she hurried to Yue Niang.
"From now on, you and Fugui'er will be brother and sister. Yue Niang is your mother. As long as you listen to her, she will ensure that you have a place to stay and will not starve." Shen Yitian said softly.
Song Xiaer nodded: "Well, I will listen to her."
"Now, call me mom." Shen Yitian said again.
Yue Niang was stunned: "Isn't this too hasty?"
Song Xiaer seemed a little awkward as well. She stared at Yue Niang for a long time but couldn't call out "Mom".
Mai Dong laughed heartily: "Little girl, if you really can't call me mother, then don't do it. Come with me, and I won't let you call me father either, and I'll give you meat to eat."
