Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 386: Not Fit to Be a Foster Mother 27

"Ten years ago, two hundred thousand yuan could buy five or six houses in that small county, and yet the Wang family was too stingy to even buy you a new outfit. Those Wang Family people are too wicked, daring to treat you so harshly. No, I have to call and ask your dad and grandma if they actually consider you a granddaughter of the Wang family. Did they greedily take all the compensatory money my sister left?"

Yuan Chun, filled with fury, picked up the phone, ready to call the Wang family.

By the year 2000, the Wang family had a landline phone installed.

Although Yuan Chun had never contacted Wang Family, she had 007; as long as she asked 007, she would know the phone number.

"Mom, no, Aunt, please don’t call," cried Wang Xiaoyan, "My dad died three years ago, and my grandma passed away last year, sobbing... These past two years, I’ve been living with my grandpa, who has no money. That sum of money was gambled away by my dad."

Now, Wang Xiaoyan carefully recalled the memories of this body and truly remembered things that happened during childhood, but they were different from the previous life.

In the previous life, Aunt returned to the hometown and adopted her, and at that time she never mentioned the two hundred thousand yuan.

But in this life, Aunt learned about the two hundred thousand yuan compensation, so Aunt refused to adopt her.

Thinking about the hardships endured by this body over the years with the Wang family, Wang Xiaoyan’s heart gradually surged with resentment.

Resentment towards Aunt’s heartlessness.

Why didn’t she take her away back then?

Aunt knew that the Wang family considered her a burden, so why did she leave her with them? Wasn’t Aunt the one who loved her the most?

Wang Xiaoyan lowered her gaze to mask the anomaly in her eyes, and with sobbing breath, she said, "Aunt, I... I have no one else now, Aunt, can you adopt me? I want to be your daughter, sobbing... Aunt, I’ve never had a mother, I long for a mother."

You’re not longing for a mother; you’re longing for my family’s wealth.

Yuan Chun wanted to roll her eyes at her.

However, with so many people watching, including the police officer, Yuan Chun didn’t want to ruin her good Samaritan image, so she assumed a helpless expression, "Xiao Yan, it’s not that Aunt doesn’t want to adopt you. When your uncle-in-law sacrificed, I made a vow that in this lifetime, I would take good care of Xiao Bao; he is my only son. If I adopt you, I would break my promise to my husband. My husband was a hero, and I don’t want to break my word to him."

"Also, I once vowed to my husband that all the estate he left would belong to Xiao Bao. The ancestral house left by my husband was demolished a few years ago, and quite a few houses, shops, and money came from it. All of these belong to Xiao Bao."

"Even the house I live in now was bought with that money. So how can I adopt you? Once I really adopt you, you become my daughter, and in the future, you also have inheritance rights over my estate. Yet, the assets under my name were exchanged from my husband’s ancestral house, how could I break my word to my husband by letting you inherit a portion?"

"But human nature is unpredictable. If I let Xiao Bao inherit everything, as his adopted sister, you’d surely feel uncomfortable, maybe even stirred to commit something malicious for the estate. Of course, these are all my assumptions, yet regardless of whether you’d resort to ruthlessness for wealth or not, I won’t adopt you, please try to understand my predicament."
