Chapter 36
Even a Vicious Tiger Would Not Eat Its Own Cubs
Yang Tao carried her child and knocked on the door of the Du family’s house.”Damn old hag, you’re so cruel! This is your grandson! You forced me to drink those drugs! You were the one who said that if I drink it, I’ll be able to give birth to the Du family’s grandson, and you’ll let Du Lin marry me! You’ve harmed me, you’ve harmed me!” The woman banged on the door of the Du family’s house. There were faint traces of blood coming out of her head. Her voice became more and more shrill. “Look at the child in my arms, look at the eldest grandson you want! You’re the one who harmed me! You’re the one who harmed me! The doctor said that I was pregnant with a boy and it was all your fault. You harmed my child!” Yang Tao’s voice was shrill. She only knew how to blame Old Madam Du and did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She even pulled open the baby’s swaddling clothes and stripped him naked in front of everyone.
The weather had already turned cold, and it was even colder in the evening. The poor baby was shivering all over, and even his cries had become weak. The crowd looked at the baby and instantly burst into an uproar. They were shocked and began to pity the child.
“Du Lin! Du Lin, come out! Do you not want your child anymore? You were the one who said you would marry me! You were the one who said that you would marry me after you ruined Jiang Xi’s marriage! Have you forgotten?” Yang Tao sobbed as she held the child in her arms. The child cried particularly miserably.
“Woman, even if the Du family is at fault, you shouldn’t vent your anger on the child! The child has been tortured to this state by all of you. Besides, you said it yourself that you ate something you shouldn’t have. Your stomach is your own. If you don’t want to eat, can others force you? Quickly put the child down!” An old man was frightened by Yang Tao’s actions. When he saw the child’s cries becoming weaker and weaker, he became so angry that he started shouting.
“Get lost, you don’t need to care about my child!” Yang Taog’s eyes were red and she looked crazy. She raised the child high as if she was going to smash him to the ground. The crowd was instantly shocked and angry, and they shouted, “Even a vicious Tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. You’re too vicious, woman! A child has to bear the sins of you adults!”
Just as the tragedy was about to happen, the door of the Du family’s house creaked open. Du Lin stood by the door with a cold face, no longer as gentle as before. It was as if the gentleness he had when he was supporting Yang Tao with her big belly was fake. Du Lin had the appearance of a weak scholar, but in reality, he was indeed a scholar. He even attended the same academy as Jiang Si. Back then, Jiang Si played an indispensable role in Du Lin and Jiang Xi’s engagement. Du Lin liked innocent and cute girls and often teased them. Jiang Si had heard about this, but the Du family was a big family in Happy Town and Du Lin was the only boy in the family. After Jiang Si had visited the Du family with Du Lin a few times, he repeatedly told Du Lin that he had a younger sister who was cute and obedient. Later, Old Madam Hu heard about it, so she sent a matchmaker to the Jiang family. Old Madam Du’s mind was filled with thoughts of getting Du Lin to get married and have children. She wanted to have a grandson. Later, she saw Jiang Xi’s appearance. Although Jiang Xi was a little thin, she had a full forehead and rosy cheeks. Old Madam Du had even gotten someone to secretly read Jiang Xi’s fortune and said that she looked like she was good at giving birth.
Old Madam Du was very satisfied with this, so she asked the matchmaker to set Jiang Xi up. At that time, Yang Fen thought that her daughter had been hit with great luck to allow Jiang Xi to be engaged to a big family like the Du family. Little did she know that Jiang Si had secretly pulled strings and built the bridge. The silly original owner of the body did not even know that Jiang Si had secretly revealed things about Jiang Xi to the Du family. When the Du family came to break off the engagement. The original owner did not know anything about these things at all. Later, the Du family broke off the engagement and Jiang Si also cut off contact with Du Lin. At this time, Du Lin looked up and saw Jiang Xi standing in the crowd, seemingly watching the show. He could not help but feel happy. This Jiang Xi seemed to have become a little more beautiful. He could not tell what was different about her, but his heart warmed slightly when he saw her budding and ignorant appearance.
However, Du Lin soon turned his attention to Yang Tao, who was standing in front of the door. He reprimanded her with a cold face, “When are you going to stop your nonsense? My Du family has never promised you anything. It’s you who shamelessly clung to our Du family and refused to let go. I’ve already given you 100,000 Yuan a few days ago, enough for you to eat for the rest of your life. Now, take your son… No, the monster you gave birth to, and get out of here!” When he faced Yang Tao, his face was full of disgust, and he was no longer as gentle and elegant as he had been a few days ago.
