ther you want to or not, but whether you have to."Even so, the son regrets nothing," Tang Xian said with a serious expression."It's good that you don't regret it. You're grown up now, maybe Father sti...He Tao peeked into the courtyard from the doorway, his eyes wide with curiosity. The house was big and spacious, he'd heard that their son and daughter-in-law could all live comfortably there.

This house is all made of blue bricks. I wonder how much it costs

Just looking at the exterior, it's so grand! The inside is even more impressive with complete furniture. There are fruits and snacks on the table even when no guests are around. This is truly the life of a wealthy family!

She regretted a little, why did she find an old man like Fu Baishan If she had the chance, she would rather find Fu Baiman. She was young and beautiful, how could she compare with her elder sister-in-law who was much older

The more she thought about it, the more regret she felt. He Tao secretly glanced at Fu Baiwan. They were both in their forties, but her cousin stood tall and exuded a powerful masculinity.

I wonder if there's still a chance

Tian Guihua didn't notice He Tao had taken a liking to her husband. She looked around at the group and realized someone was missing, "Where is the child"

Fu Baishan stammered nervously, and Fu Baiman felt something was wrong. "Your sister-in-law asked about your child. You all came out, but he's alone at home"

That child isn't even a year old, how could you leave him alone at home.

"Cousin, don't worry, it's been put in another house."

Fu Jiujiu felt something was wrong. With Fu Baishan's eyes rolling around like marbles, she knew he wasn't telling the truth. "Did my brother get given to someone else"

He Tao averted his face, acting like it had nothing to do with him.

"No...not."

Fu Baiman's face turned cold. "What's going on"

Seeing that Fu Baishan looked like he was about to attack at any moment, coupled with his guilty conscience, he shrank his neck and explained nervously, "It's not... Brother, it's not giving away. It's just putting it there first."

"Fu Baishan... what should I say about you..."

Fu Baiman pointed with his finger, which trembled slightly. "People say that having a stepmother means having a stepfather," he said, "and that's absolutely true."

"No..."

He Tao glared at Fu Baishan and said, "You're saying it's not Not a damn thing"

"Cousin, please don't be angry. How could I possibly give someone else my child This isn't because I was unwell recently, and my mother is getting older. Bai Shan is a grown man, where would he even know how to raise a child That's why I had no choice but to ask someone else to help raise him."

Tian Guihua knew that Fu Baishan was restless. With some silver in his hand, he wouldn't want to be a widower; he would definitely find someone else.

Therefore, the child is destined to have a stepmother.

She only pitied the child, her father didn't care.

"Baishan, that's your own son. He lost his mother before he was even a month old. How old is he now Before, the family was so busy, but now I see my siblings and sisters-in-law with rosy cheeks, nothing seems to be wrong. The third aunt is also doing well. It's time to bring him back, right"

Even the elderly can walk here, they are all in good health.

As for He Tao, Tian Guihua doesn't look like someone who has been sick for a long time.

She probably wouldn't be willing to be a stepmother.

"Auntie, I understand," Fu Baishan said with a forced smile. After talking for so long, he hadn't actually said anything useful, so he gave the old woman a subtle look.

Mrs. Fu frowned, "Alas, I should have known you two would love your children so much. Perhaps it would have been better to have sent them to my care back then. Gui Hua has raised so many children, taking good care of each one. You could rest assured leaving them with me, and we could rest assured knowing they were well taken care of."

Tian Guihua was almost suffocated with anger. Was she raising children just so others could raise them

If she really were to lose her mother, then losing her father wouldn't be a problem either.

Fu Baishan took money to marry a young woman, but couldn't afford to raise children

Is this like that

This is a young woman, but she's quite shrewd. She must have blown Fu Baishan's ear before he sent his eldest son away.

After all, they still quite liked the child.

Thinking of this, Tian Guihua felt a little disgust towards He Taosheng.

However, she didn't show it, after all, she wasn't too closely related to him.

"Millions, I heard that our three golds have become officials. This is good news, isn't it" Old Madam Fu took the initiative to say.

"Guihua, you two are so lucky! Our old Fu family's ancestral graves are smoking with joy. As a family, we're all thrilled."

Tian Guihua smiled but did not reply.

Seeing that Fu Baimian and his wife remained silent, Old Mrs. Fu strained a smile. Even if they didn't respond, she could carry on speaking herself.

"Millions, we are all family. You grew up under my watch and were nursed by me. I treat you as my own son."

According to my memory, this is the old lady's usual opening line. She mentions it at least once when she meets someone, and then she starts making her requests.

Fu Baimian had become numb. "Third Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it."

"You're such a filial child. Alright, then you tell Third Aunt, and Third Aunt will say it."

Old Mrs. Fu was very good at finding a way out for herself, wasn't she In the blink of an eye, it became that Fu Baiwan made her say it.

She instantly felt at ease. "Then I won't be polite," she said.

Fu Baiman smiled helplessly, "You go ahead, I'll listen."

"Tao'er, what am I saying This cousin of yours is the best to me. Don't you see that all your men are filial"

He Tao saw that Fu Baiman was entranced, and suddenly heard the old lady calling his name. He laughed nervously, "Yes... my cousin is good in every way."

Fu Jiujiu smelled a hint of something unusual: "My father is only good to my mother."

He Tao's smile froze, and a jealousy that shouldn't be there flashed in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Fu chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. A man worth millions is a powerful figure, and he has no say over his wife."

"Hey hey, wifey, me too."

Before, He Tao still thought that Fu Baishan was okay, just a little older. But the important thing is that he was generous to her.

Compared to this tall and handsome cousin of mine, he's like a toad.

“How can you compare to your elder brother” He Taohui whispered.

Before coming, the whole family had discussed praising her lavishly, so at this moment, Old Mrs. Fu and Fu Baishan didn't think there was anything wrong with He Tao's words.

"Lady Fu chuckled, revealing her yellowed teeth. 'Millions, there are only the two of us left in the old Fu family. You've made a good life for yourself, but Bai Shan is still struggling to survive. How can you bear to see your younger brother suffering and unable to earn money'"

"Who among the common people isn't toiling for a living Who isn't working hard" Fu Baiwan asked back.

"That may be true, but things are different now. Our family has three officials now, aren't we Things will be different from now on. When you go to the capital, such a big family business needs someone reliable to look after it."

Fu Baimian understood, this was about his house.

He smiled.

"Third Aunt, who told you we're going to the capital"

"Aren't you going" asked Old Mrs. Fu, startled. "Why aren't you going Sanjin has all become high officials, don't you want to enjoy the good life"

Fu Baiman shook his head. "I just built this house, it's big and comfortable. Why would I go to the capital"

Apparently, what he said was different from what Old Mrs. Fu had expected, and she was stunned.

"Well...that... that house..."

"Big Third Sister, of course we have to keep living in this house. But with so many of us... it's just not enough space. In the future, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, and even Eighth Brother will get married. We'll be all squeezed together."
