Chapter 4456

Watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law "confronting" each other in the room, Zhao Desan couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn it, what are these two women doing?" He was a bit confused. What kind of act were these two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law putting on?

Looking at the mother-in-law's firm gaze and Sun Xiaoqin's hesitant, furrowed brows, Zhao Desan then thought that their so-called request must be quite excessive; otherwise, they wouldn't be staging this "touching" scene. Zhao Desan's "gluttonous worm" was almost hooked out at this moment. He really wanted to know how excessive this excessive request was, and why Sun Xiaoqin would be so conflicted and embarrassed, refusing to agree.

At this time, the old woman sighed and said: "Xiaoqin, you also know the gossip outside, saying that our old Deng family has done too many wicked things, which is why we gave birth to a mentally disabled daughter." As the old woman spoke, her expression was a bit dazed. Ever since her daughter-in-law gave birth to a mentally disabled granddaughter, the village had rumored that the old Deng family had done wicked things, which was why retribution had fallen on the grandson, especially since the Deng family, a wealthy family, had been living worse and worse in recent years, which gave people even more to talk about. The villagers believed that the old Deng family's luck had run out.

Sun Xiaoqin explained: "Mother-in-law, that's not the reason at all. This is the result of close-kin marriage. Close-kin marriage has a great impact on future generations." Sun Xiaoqin had at least attended university and knew the harm of close-kin marriage; it wasn't the reason the villagers said about doing too many wicked things.

The old woman smiled bitterly and shook her head, sighing: "Xiaoqin, mother-in-law knows you've read books and know more than the average person. How could those neighbors who don't even know a single big character believe your explanation?"

Sun Xiaoqin couldn't help but sigh. She knew that it was impossible to change the ignorant thoughts of those ignorant villagers for thousands of years by her own strength. She only now discovered that her ability was really small.

The old woman saw that her daughter-in-law was very unwilling. This matter wouldn't be easily agreed to by any woman. The old woman pleaded again: "Xiaoqin, mother-in-law begs you, just satisfy this excessive request of mine. Or else mother-in-law will kowtow to you." As she spoke, she was about to kowtow to Sun Xiaoqin.

Seeing her mother-in-law about to kowtow to her, Sun Xiaoqin was startled and panicked. She hurriedly bent down to support the old woman and said in alarm: "Mother-in-law, you can't do this! This will make me lose my lifespan!"

Seeing her daughter-in-law's panicked and helpless expression, the old woman wiped the old tears from the corner of her eyes with her right hand and said with teary eyes: "Xiaoqin, then you agree to mother-in-law's request?"

"Mother-in-law, this... this..."

Sun Xiaoqin found it difficult to make a decision in her heart. This decision was too difficult for her because her mother-in-law's request was not only excessive but also involved ethical and moral issues. She sighed deeply and said: "Mother-in-law, let me consider it again!"

Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, the old woman knew she was delaying time. After all, this request had been put forward for more than a year and had been delayed by her daughter-in-law with various excuses. She was eager for a grandson, and coupled with the gossip of the people in the village, she had no choice but to put forward this request to her daughter-in-law again.

The old woman sighed deeply. Although Sun Xiaoqin said so, she still knelt on the ground. It seemed that she had made up her mind this time; as long as her daughter-in-law didn't agree to her, she would keep kneeling. She looked at her daughter-in-law with pleading eyes and said softly: "Xiaoqin, you also know that there is an old saying that there are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest. Our old Deng family cannot have no offspring." Ordinary people's families all had very strong family concepts. Although the Deng family was destitute, they still hoped to have a grandson to inherit the family line. The responsibility of giving birth to a son naturally fell on the shoulders of the daughter-in-law, Sun Xiaoqin.

Her daughter-in-law, Sun Xiaoqin, saw that her mother-in-law was still kneeling on the ground and wouldn't get up, knowing that she was determined to force her this time. She couldn't help but sigh deeply, her brows tightly knit together, and said helplessly: "Mother-in-law, you also know that Xiaojun and I are cousins, we..."

Before Sun Xiaoqin could continue, her mother-in-law said: "Xiaoqin, you and Xiaojun are cousins, the possibility of giving birth to another mentally disabled child is very high. Mother-in-law knows now, so mother-in-law won't force you now." Although she really wanted to see Sun Xiaoqin give birth to a healthy child with her son, after all, giving birth to a disabled granddaughter gave her a lesson. If she gave birth to another deformed child, she didn't know what the common people in the village would say.

Zhao Desan, who had been hiding outside the window eavesdropping, felt very surprised when he heard these words from the old woman. He didn't expect the old woman's brain to be enlightened, not letting Sun Xiaoqin continue to give birth with her son. However, the old woman seemed to really want Sun Xiaoqin to give birth to a son. Zhao Desan felt that her words just now seemed a bit contradictory. However, the old woman's next words really shocked Zhao Desan.

Sun Xiaoqin's brows were tightly knit, looking at the wrinkled mother-in-law in front of her, her heart couldn't help but sigh deeply, and she said: "Mother-in-law, you..."

The old woman interrupted her words again and said: "Xiaoqin, for the sake of the Deng family's incense, you... borrow... borrow seed from your father-in-law!!" The old woman struggled to spit out those raw, sensitive words. After saying them, she felt much more relaxed, as if a big stone pressing on her heart had been moved away. She looked at her daughter-in-law with expectation, waiting for her answer.

Although Sun Xiaoqin was mentally prepared, when she heard what her mother-in-law said, she was still shocked. This was the second time her mother-in-law had said these words, which made her heart "thump." She couldn't believe her ears. Looking at the gentle and kind mother-in-law in front of her, Sun Xiaoqin felt that she was really full of bitterness and absurd words.

Zhao Desan, hiding outside the window, was completely stunned when he heard these words. For a moment, he covered his wide-open mouth tightly with both hands, looking extremely exaggerated. He didn't expect that such a secret was hidden behind his old classmate Sun Xiaoqin.

Deng Xiaojun's father was Sun Xiaoqin's father-in-law. Sun Xiaoqin's mother-in-law actually asked Sun Xiaoqin to borrow seed from her father-in-law. This kind of thing not only seemed absurd but also violated the bottom line of social ethics and morality!

"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin..." The old woman saw Sun Xiaoqin's dazed gaze and diffused eyes, knowing that this matter would put her under immeasurable pressure, not only the accusation of moral ethics but also psychological factors were a line of defense that was difficult to overcome.

Sun Xiaoqin then came back to her senses. She knew that her mother-in-law had always been very good to her. Originally, she should try her best to agree to her mother-in-law's request, but the request in front of her made her unable to agree.

"Xiaoqin, just agree to mother-in-law!" The old woman wiped away the bitter tears from the corner of her eyes and continued, "I just want the Deng family to have an offspring, just satisfy this wish of mine!"

Sun Xiaoqin neither agreed nor refused, but sighed deeply. For her to agree to this request all of a sudden, she certainly couldn't do it. And to refuse righteously, she was afraid of hurting her mother-in-law's heart. Just when she was conflicted and helpless, she suddenly seemed to think of something, raised her head, and said to her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, how about letting me divorce Xiaojun and let Xiaojun remarry? Then they won't be close-kin, and there's no need to worry about giving birth to a disabled child."

Hearing this "perfect" proposal from Sun Xiaoqin, the old woman immediately said righteously: "No!"

Seeing her mother-in-law's firm attitude, Sun Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Why does mother-in-law refuse so firmly?"

The mother-in-law looked at Sun Xiaoqin with tears streaming down her face, sighed deeply, and suddenly seemed to have made a big decision. She said helplessly: "Xiaojun's body is not good."

Body is not good? Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Sun Xiaoqin couldn't help but be stunned.

The old woman lowered her head, gently wiped away the old tears from the corner of her eyes, and blamed herself: "Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't given Xiaojun medicine at the beginning, it wouldn't have become like this today."

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Sun Xiaoqin was stunned again. She felt that these words of her mother-in-law were very strange, as if there were many things hidden from her between her husband and her mother-in-law.

Seeing Sun Xiaoqin's dazed appearance, the old woman sighed and said quietly: "Xiaoqin, Xiaojun had a small problem in that area half a year after you got married. At that time, no one cared about it, thinking that you were doing that thing too frequently, so we found some folk remedies for Xiaojun to eat. Xiaojun is a very filial child, and he still listens to my words..."
