1075 Sell the Child for a Fortune

“Lower your voice! Sister-in-law is in the kitchen and can help out! That wretched girl Tan Yue is also there. So what if you come out for a while!” Tan Hu said unhappily.

Xu Xiang broke free from Tan Hu’s grip and rubbed the spot where he grabbed her. He was a strong man but did not seem to know his own strength. Fortunately, she was hardy enough to withstand it.

“What exactly do you want! Just say it! I must go back soon! Your mother will never reprimand you but if she sees that I’m not around, she will definitely scold me,” Xu Xiang said.

“I want Tan Jing to bring up our kid,” Tan Hu said as he looked at Xu Xiang seriously.

Xu Xiang thought that Tan Hu was joking with her and said laughingly, “Even if you find your elder sister disgusting, you shouldn’t go to this extent. Is it because she can’t have children? But she married well! She doesn’t have to worry about her future even if she doesn’t have children in this life. Don’t hurt your elder sister like what your mother does. Tan Xue still needs her help in the future!”

“What I mean is I want to give him to Tan Jing. He will become Tan Jing’s child,” Tan Hu repeated.

Xu Xiang’s smile froze on her face. She could not believe what she just heard. What was Tan Hu talking about? Giving Tan Xue to Tan Jing so that Tan Xue’s surname would become Xia and his name would be Xia Xue? She had thought that Tan Hu was joking with her, but now it seemed that he was serious about it.

“Are you crazy! That’s our son! We only have one son! Are you drunk! Do you know what you’re saying!” Xu Xiang said angrily.

“Listen to me! Listen to me carefully!” Tan Hu grabbed hold of Xu Xiang tightly and said, “I just heard Mom and Tan Jing talking about how Tan Jing is going to adopt one of the children in the extended Tan family. The child will become Tan Jing’s child and will get a share of the Xia family’s assets in the future.”

Even if it was a tiny share of the Xia family’s wealth, it would be enough for Tan Hu and Xu Xiang to live well for the rest of their lives! Moreover, Tan Xue was already at an age where he could understand and remember things, unlike a young child. When Tan Xue grew up, they would be able to collude with him to slowly empty out the Xia family’s assets. At that time, the Xia family’s assets would all become Tan Hu’s assets.

If they gave Tan Xue to Tan Jing, she would definitely have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, once they instructed Tan Xue to run home to them, Tan Jing’s plan would completely fail.

In that case, they not only did not have to pay for Tan Xue’s living expenses anymore, they could even make money out of him.

This was such a good deal! It was a business with guaranteed profits and no losses! So why not?

“I definitely won’t agree! Are you even human! I think you must be a beast! Do you really think I don’t have any support from my maternal family! He’s my own flesh and blood. Even if I die, I won’t give Tan Xue to Tan Jing. You’d better give up on this idea!” Xu Xiang pushed Tan Hu away forcefully and pointed at him as she scolded him.

“We can still have more children! But there’s only one chance to do this! Don’t tell me you’re not tempted by the Xia family’s assets at all!” Tan Hu said.

Xu Xiang indeed loved money and she was definitely interested in the Xia family’s assets, but she would never sell her son to achieve her goal. Her son was her lifeblood. When she was giving birth to Tan Xue, she almost bled out and died on the operating table. It was not easy for her to have this child, so she would never hand him over to Tan Jing!

Tan Hu’s last bit of patience was exhausted. He stared at Xu Xiang with bloodshot eyes and said fiercely, “Are you saying you’re not going to do as I say?”

Xu Xiang said stubbornly, “Yes! If you want to send my son away! I… I… I’ll divorce you! At most, I’ll return to the Xu family and stay there forever! I won’t sell my son for wealth!”

Seeing that Xu Xiang was unmoved by either force or persuasion, Tan Hu completely lost his patience. He rushed forward and started to beat Xu Xiang up. He even used the firewood next to him to hit Xu Xiang’s back viciously. The scrawny Xu Xiang could not withstand such a beating at all and curled up on the ground as she groaned in pain.

“Ah!!!”
