Chapter 179 Adoption
Chapter 179 Adoption
"Then how about grandma and little brother move in to live with you?"
Seeing that Yuanyuan had taken the bait, the Queen Mother began to persuade her patiently.
She wanted to use the child's mouth to let Yuanyuan talk to Wei Shuqing.
With Wei Shuqing and Xiao Liu, the Queen Mother won't have to work so hard.
Wei Shuqing happened to see this scene. She waved and Yuanyuan ran over obediently.
"Mom, what are you talking to the child about?"
Wei Shuqing looked surprised. She had not expected that the Queen Mother would actually use Yuanyuan for Fang Jinsong and Fang Lu, father and son.
The Queen Mother instigated her granddaughter and was caught by her daughter-in-law on the spot, looking embarrassed.
She knew that Wei Shuqing was not a pushover, but Wei Shuqing had always respected her as her mother-in-law for so many years, which made Wang Mu feel a little lucky.
She hesitated, "I'm not old, Jinsong is busy with work, and Xiaolu is young, I can't handle it."
"Didn't Mom hire a nanny?"
Not getting angry on the spot is Wei Shuqing's greatest accomplishment.
She just thought the Queen Mother was ridiculous. Over the years, her son and daughter had been considerate and hardworking.
Not only did he not ask for any subsidy from the Queen Mother, but he also showed her a lot of filial respect.
The Queen Mother, on the other hand, was so eager to get together with her nephew from her natal family.
If the Queen Mother gave some financial support, Wei Shuqing and her husband would have no objection.
It's worth spending some money to make the elderly happy.
But the Queen Mother took charge of everything and invited everyone back home, so Wei Shuqing and her husband could no longer provide any support.
The Queen Mother knew that her daughter-in-law was trying to make trouble, so she didn't respond. Instead, she kept saying that the child was pitiful and that Fang Jinsong had a hard time.
Wei Shuqing didn't respond. Fang Lu was pitiful, Fang Jinsong had a hard time, and it wasn't her and Wang Chenan's fault, so why should they be held responsible?
The Queen Mother felt embarrassed and just shut up.
She returned home empty-handed, only to see Fang Jinsong happily saying to her: "Aunt, Gu Nuan agreed to marry me."
Gu Nuan is Fang Jinsong's girlfriend and teaches in the same school as him.
Both of them are golden phoenixes that flew out from the countryside, and they have a lot of common topics.
Gu Nuan didn't mind that Fang Jinsong was married, but there was one thing.
She is a virgin and doesn't want to become a mother as soon as she gets married.
The implication is that Fang Lu cannot live with them.
Seeing that the Queen Mother liked Fang Lu, Fang Jinsong also had some bad thoughts.
As a father, how could he not hope for the best for his son?
So, he said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt, Gu Nuan said that she is willing to marry me, but she doesn't want to be Fang Lu's mother."
Gu Nuan is a young lady who just turned 20 and has never given birth. She definitely doesn't want to be a mother to a child who is about to go to elementary school.
He understood Gu Nuan and also wanted to give his son a good future.
When the Queen Mother heard that Fang Jinsong had finally found a place to stay, she was in a good mood: "That's a good feeling. Now that you're married and have someone to take care of you, I'm relieved. As for Gu Nuan not wanting Xiaolu to call her mom, it's the same whether she calls her aunt."
"Aunt, I was wondering if you could adopt Fang Lu?"
Fang Jinsong bravely expressed his thoughts.
Parents love their children deeply and plan for the long term.
The best way he could think of for himself and his son was for Fang Lu to become a child of the Wang family.
The Wang family is rich, and Wang Chenan and Wei Shuqing are both respectable people. It would be a hundred times better for the child to follow them than to follow himself.
And he can marry Gu Nuan as he wishes.
The Queen Mother was stunned at first, then refused: "No, it's such a big deal, I can't make the decision!"
She is now insisting on having her own way and taking care of Fang Jinsong and his son, and has already alienated herself from her own son and daughter. If she insists on adopting Fang Lu, she will probably really turn against her son and daughter.
However, Fang Jinsong pleaded: "Aunt, please have pity on me. I really like Gu Nuan. You also know that I met the wrong person. My first wife ran away with someone else, leaving Xiaolu and me, father and son, to depend on each other..."
The Queen Mother felt sorry for her nephew and agreed reluctantly.
After all, she is Wang Chenan and Wang Chenchen's biological mother. No matter how much of a jerk they are, can they still deny their mother?
So the Queen Mother nodded and said, "I'll give it a try."
When asking for help from others, you have to have the attitude of asking for help. Before dawn, Wang Mu got up to cook a large table of steaming hot dishes, many of which were Wang Chenan and Wei Shuqing's favorites.
Seeing the braised spareribs, Fang Lu was about to grab them, but Queen Mother hugged him and said, "My dear grandson, don't touch them yet. These are for your new mother."
"I'm going to have a new mother?"
Fang Lu's eyes lit up. He lost his mother when he was young and longed for maternal love.
The Queen Mother looked at him with a sad face, touched his little head and nodded: "Our Lulu will soon have a new mother."
Fang Lu was overjoyed.
Wei Shuqing's family thought that the Queen Mother had changed her mind, so they came with their two children in a lively atmosphere.
The door opened, and before Wang Chenan and Wei Shuqing could enter, Fang Lu hugged Wei Shuqing and said, "Mom!"
“That’s my mom!”
Yuanyuan opened her mouth and started crying, her true nature as a domineering flower was revealed, and she pushed Fang Lu to the ground.
The Queen Mother felt sorry for her granddaughter and also felt sorry for Fang Lu, and didn't know which one to persuade.
Wei Shuqing was decisive and picked up Yuanyuan. The little girl had grown flesh again and felt a lot heavier in her hands!
"You got the wrong person. I'm not your mother."
Her expression had turned cold.
What a Hongmen Banquet! It turns out the Queen Mother actually wants her to adopt Xiaolu!
Fang Lu was pushed and his mother was gone again.
The little child couldn't bear the blow and cried with tears and snot all over his face. It was heartbreaking to see him.
The Queen Mother was so soft-hearted that she took the child into her arms and coaxed him softly, "Don't cry, Xiaolu, don't cry."
"I want my mom! I want my mom!"
Xiaolu's voice was hoarse and his face was flushed red.
He looked at Wei Shuqing with anticipation.
Wei Shuqing shook her head firmly: "Forget about it. I don't lack children, and I won't help others raise theirs."
"What do you mean?!"
The Queen Mother was really angry now. Xiaolu was crying so miserably, but Wei Shuqing had no sympathy at all.
"Wang Jin isn't a child of our Wang family. We raised him to adulthood. Why is it that just because Xiaolu changed, you can't do this or that?"
She spoke without thinking for a moment, and she regretted it after she said it.
But Wei Shuqing's expression had also changed: "Old lady, you have to figure it out. Are you supporting me, or am I supporting you?"
She opened a restaurant with Wang Mu's technical guidance, so over the years, Wei Shuqing has been grateful to Wang Mu and respected her.
But this does not mean that the Queen Mother can infringe upon her interests in this family without any bottom line.
This time, the Queen Mother was completely stunned.
She had been praised for too long and had forgotten that most of the family's wealth was earned by Wei Shuqing.
