I trade in both worlds

Chapter 373: A Single Seedling

Yang Laosan's heart tightened. He knew Li Laidi's temper and was afraid that she would cause trouble.

He quickly took over the conversation: "Xu Xu, we know you have something against us. But this time, we are really doing it for the good of the children. You see, Weiwei is the blood of our Yang family after all, he can't stay away from home forever."

Xu Xu sneered when he heard this.

She looked at Yang Lao San as if she was watching a joke: "For the good of the children? Humph. Now that you know he is the blood of the Yang family, what were you doing before? In the past ten years, I have never seen you think about him being your blood?"

Yang Lao San was choked by Xu Xu's words and was speechless. He smiled awkwardly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "What happened in the past is in the past. Now we just hope to take the child back and let him recognize his ancestors. This will be good for him and for our Yang family."

After hearing what Yang Laosan said, Xu Xu just smiled coldly.

The two elders never mentioned Tiantian from beginning to end, as if this granddaughter had never existed, which made Xu Xu feel heartbroken.

Li Laidi cleared his throat, looked at Xu Xu and said, "Xu Xu, you know that Erzhu was injured. Now our Erzhu only has Weiwei as his only child, so we came here this time to discuss with you about bringing Weiwei to live in Beijing."

Xu Xu looked at Yang Laosan and Li Laidi coldly for a while, then slowly said: "I don't agree to this. Weiwei's surname is Xu now, not Yang. He is a child of our Xu family and has nothing to do with your Yang family."

When Li Laidi heard this, he immediately became angry: "Xu Xu, what you said is not right. Weiwei is the flesh and blood of our Yang family. He has our Yang family blood flowing in his body. How can he have nothing to do with our Yang family?"

"When you wanted to leave, we didn't stop you. Now you are holding on to our flesh and blood. What do you mean by this?"

Xu Xu frowned, looked at Li Laidi and said, "Li Laidi, please be careful with your words. It was your Yang family who didn't want the child in the first place, and now your son can't have children and you want to take the child back. How can this be justified? Besides, Weiwei changed his surname to Xu ten years ago and entered the Xu family tree. He is no longer a member of the Yang family."

"You..." Li Laidi was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he thought of Yang Laosan's instructions, he had to turn around and look at Yang Laosan, "Laosan, say something."

Yang Lao San also had a gloomy face. He looked at Xu Xu and said, "Xu Xu, Er Zhu is now a high-ranking official. He only has a daughter, Wan'er, and no sons."

"Even if you don't care about Erzhu, you have to think about Weiwei, right? If he follows our Erzhu, he will be a young master in the future, eating and drinking well, which is better than living in this country place, right?"

"Besides, Erzhu said that as long as you are willing to return the children to him, he is willing to give you some money as compensation."

"Money?" Xu Xu sneered and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would sell my own child for money? Let me tell you, although I'm a woman, I also know what integrity is."

"Yang Erzhu gave up his child in order to marry into a rich family, and now he wants to come back and take his child back. How could such a good thing happen in the world? Weiwei is my son, and I will not give him to anyone else."

Seeing Xu Xu's resolute attitude, Yang Laosan's face darkened. Li Laidi was also on the verge of exploding.

Yang Laosan took a deep breath and quietly pulled Li Laidi's sleeve, trying to calm himself and Li Laidi down.

He looked at Xu Xu and said, "Why are you so stubborn? Erzhu is also doing this for the good of the children. Think about it, the children can enjoy better education and living conditions in the Yang family. Why do you want to let the children suffer in this rural area?"

Xu Xu sneered even more in her heart after hearing what Yang Lao San said. She looked at the two of them as if she were looking at two clowns.

She said slowly: "Better education and living conditions?"

Xu Xu sneered, her laughter was full of bitterness and indignation, she continued: "Do you think the Yang family is a good place? Back then, Yang Erzhu forced me to divorce him in order to climb up the social ladder, and even abandoned our children. How can such a cold-blooded and heartless person be worthy of being a father?"

At this point, Xu Xu's eyes flashed with pain. She recalled those difficult days when her mother was critically ill and her husband's family didn't even ask about her.

Thinking back on those difficult days, Xu Xu doesn’t know how he managed to get through them.

"Now that he's injured and can't have children, he's thinking about the children." Xu Xu's voice became colder and colder: "Does he think my son can come and go at his will?"

She paused, looked at Yang Laosan and Li Laidi firmly, and said word by word, "I reiterate again, the children's surname is Xu now, not Yang. They have been included in the Xu family tree and are members of the Xu family."

After saying that, Xu Xu turned around and went into the house, closing the door with a bang.

Yang Laosan and Li Laidi looked at each other and watched Xu Xu close the door, not knowing what to do for a moment.

They originally thought that as long as they explained the situation to them and appealed to their emotions, Xu Xu would give them some face. However, they did not expect that Xu Xu's attitude was so firm that he would not even let them in.

After a long while, Yang Lao San finally sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back first! We have to think of a solution for this matter."

Li Laidi was unwilling to give up. She stared and said, "Just go back like this? How are we going to explain to Erzhu? If he knew we didn't even get through the door, he would be so mad."

Yang Lao San glared at her and said sternly, "If you don't go back this way, what else can you do? Do you still want to rob it by force?"

"Don't forget, this is Xu Village, not our Yangjiaao. If we provoke Xu Xu, she will really dare to drive us out with a stick."

Li Laidi was immediately discouraged when he heard this. Yang Laosan was right. They were now on someone else's territory and could not act rashly.

So she had to hold her breath and follow Yang Laosan to leave Xu Zhuang.

The two of them returned to Yangjiaao in silence all the way.

Yang Laosan sat on the doorstep, smoking a pipe with a frown on his face.

Li Laidi was muttering to the side, venting his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, after Xu Xu closed the gate, he was about to go back to the house to rest, but suddenly he saw two figures standing at the gate, they were Xu Ziqing and Xu Ziqi.

"She shouted in surprise: "Brother Xu, Sister Qing, why are you here?"

The smile brushed across her face like a spring breeze, dispelling the gloom just now.

She hadn't seen Xu Ziqi and Xu Ziqing for almost half a year. Seeing them at this moment, her heart was filled with intimacy and warmth.
