Chapter 1
Of course! This is the face of the Wei family. Just look at this little mouth, this little face, a naturally intelligent appearance, how adorable! Eldest sister, you can truly set your mind at ease; I have no children of my own, and I will definitely treat him as if he were my own.
Considering this, she abandoned her feminine compassion and closed the window, turning a deaf ear to everything.
Little darling. Look at him, even in his sleep, he can smile like this. Is he dreaming of something good?
If one wishes to keep something secret, one must not act upon it. Wei Baoping, you indeed did not steal your classmate's wallet, but you have been fixated on the money, and at that moment, you were thinking about stealing it, weren't you
Mother Chen felt a chill and nodded in agreement. Indeed, how could she allow the children from other families to lead her own astray? Mother Chen glanced again at the "situation" on the street.
Father Chen's expression darkened, and he said sternly: "This child has a bad nature. Some previous minor scuffles can be overlooked, but this time it is unacceptable. I heard that he stole someone's wallet in class, and it was only because Xiaosheng saw it and returned it in time. Tell me, is it possible not to punish him?"
"Don't poke him so hard, be careful not to wake the little one, or he will cry for you to see!" the man said anxiously
"Hey, it sounds like you regard Xiao Bao as a mere tool for making money," the man said with dissatisfaction
In an instant, Wei Jiaquan felt a jolt run through his entire body. Ah Hui's words were spoken in the bedroom, and at that time, it was only the two of them, husband and wife, with no one else present! No one else! He was so frightened that he covered his face and let out a loud scream, forgetting even to pick up the rattan stick, stumbling back into the house.
Hello, has anyone seen me? Please respond, if you would.
It is indeed the Wei family again beating that child, isn't it a bit too harsh? Should we call the police? Child's father, you should go and persuade Wei not to hit anymore, what if the child gets hurt?
Be good, little treasure, don't cry, don't cry, it's all Auntie's fault, all Auntie's fault. Give Auntie a little slap with your small hand. Ouch, that hurts, that hurts, Auntie has been punished. Next time, Auntie will definitely ask you first if you agree before touching you, okay?
It is evident that the bond he believed existed between mother and child has been obstructed by his mother. He feels helpless and compromised. He cannot see, but his mother's incessant nagging is close at hand, leading him to reasonably conclude that he should now be lying beside his mother, enduring endless torment
The child has a blank expression on their face
Wei Baoping, can't you finish watching the television before coming out? Did Yue Buqun really practice the Sunflower Manual? You have to let me hear it! She hated it just thinking about it, and without any guilt, she transferred her hatred onto the child. Can't you cry for your uncle? Crying is the way of the king, haven't you wasted your time watching cartoons? It's fine to roll on the ground and throw a tantrum, but what do you want him to hit? Just for fun? Didn't you love to cry when you were little?
The rain grew heavier and heavier, and my uncle's shouts seemed vague and distant
This child truly lacks understanding. He does not consider that his biological parents can forgive him countless times, but how many times can his uncle and aunt forgive him? It is truly a lack of restraint
He was momentarily taken aback, having not seen his nephew in such a silly yet endearing manner for a long time; for the most part, he resembled a little expressionless face... When did this start? In that instant, this thought flashed through his mind, yet his hand continued to strike down mercilessly.
Upon hearing his words, the child displayed confusion. He understood the concept of ancestors, as the ancestral tablets on the offering table where his aunt burned incense every day represented them. It turned out that there was an older sister hidden within, whom he had never seen before
Then, where did the girl in front of me come from
Mother Chen was frightened. "Stealing money? That must be punished. If we ignore stealing money now, in the future they will become robbers, and that is unacceptable!"
It is necessary to teach properly; otherwise, what will happen if her son is influenced? In the future, there will be one more thug and robber in society, living near her home. Just the thought of this potential danger makes her feel uneasy all over.
"Let me hold him, you silly woman! If the baby cries, I will hold you responsible!" The man couldn't help but pick up the little boy to comfort him. "Is my way of holding him okay? Little treasure. Hehe, he really looks like me. If I had a biological child, he would definitely look like little treasure, right?"
Yes, sister, this is how Ah Hui is. Look, these are all things she brought, including small sweaters and small socks, none of which are brand-name; if you ask me, children do not need to wear such good quality.
Eldest sister, your words are not correct. What pressure are you talking about? What is wrong with hoping for our children to succeed? If there were no pressure at home, would he be able to pass the civil service exam? In the future, Xiao Bao will be our only child, the sole descendant of the Wei family, and we will rely on him for our old age. How can we not put pressure on him? Eldest sister, rest assured, appropriate pressure can help a person grow steadily; it is not abuse! Our Xiao Bao will definitely make a lot of money, right? Xiao Bao? How adorable he is! Eldest sister, rest assured, appropriate pressure can help a person grow steadily; it is not abuse! Our Xiao Bao will definitely make a lot of money, right? Xiao Bao? How adorable he is! Kiss kiss.
Oh, do I not understand such matters! The child is still young and has made a mistake just this once; we cannot let him carry a stain... Shouldn't she remind Old Wei to teach the child not to shout loudly in the street, making it known to everyone? It is truly not good for the child
Sister, rest assured, we will take good care of Xiao Bao, and he will be well raised, have no worries.
The cries continued, mercilessly ravaging his ears. His face twitched slightly; this earth-shattering wail... How he wished to strike back. Who was tormenting him? Why was this little prince being sent to his ear, howling like a ghost? The cries were driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown. He surrendered, could he not impersonate anyone anymore
Wei Jiaquan's tall and thin body could not help but tremble violently. Back then, only he, Ah Hui, and his sister were present. That's right, Xiao Bao was also there, but he was just a baby; there wasn't even a bird around! How could she recount it word for word?
He attempted to use telepathy, but unfortunately, everyone present was an insulator; he might as well go back and take a long nap
Wei Jiaquan's furious expression had not yet faded as he sharply turned towards the source of the voice and scolded, "This child cannot be left uneducated, you have no right to interfere! Who do you think you are..." But then he suddenly froze.
Thank you, Mom
Hello, Uncle and Aunt, how are you? Have you just finished your meal? Please remind my mother that it is time to feed me, although I am not very hungry. Or could you please ask her to hold me? I have heard that hugs can help children grow up well, and I definitely want to be a good child for my whole life
She used the bamboo pole from his house to knock away his rattan.
... However, speaking of which, Mom, are you doing well? ... Is this considered ...? ... entrusting the orphan. ? He attempted to emit strong brain waves, but unfortunately, his mother did not respond, while his aunt was quite receptive.
Xiao Bao kept dodging, but unfortunately, being too young, he could not escape at all. In the end, he simply stood there like a stone, not moving at all, which only made Lao Wei even angrier and more forceful in his actions
"What nonsense is this? Old Wei is not afraid! You women are all filled with maternal compassion, sympathizing with people without understanding the situation. If a child does something wrong today, he must be punished; otherwise, he won't amount to anything. After all this time together, do you still not know Old Wei's character? If he refrains from teaching out of fear that others might think he is abusing his nephew, and this harms the child's future, then he would no longer be the upright Old Wei."
The small body trembled slightly. ... Today in class ... ... he is the only one left. ... ... ... only he ...! ... he has confirmed it. ! Last night, when he passed by his uncle's room, he was the only one in the corridor! Really!
Those blue and white slippers belong to him, right? The green bamboo pole in the girl's hand also matches one from his home, both in length and color.
Elder sister, my family and I have come to see the little treasure
When I tell you to kneel, you refuse; when I hit you a couple of times, you run away. What a talent you are! Your aunt does not want to stir up trouble and dares not intervene, taking your cousins to hide away. But I must hit you; otherwise, I would be disrespecting your mother
She leaned down close to his small face, satisfied to see the fear in his eyes intensify.
Little Bao ... ... look, this is the Bodhisattva that your mother has prayed for you, which can bless you with safety and health, allowing you to grow up without any storms or troubles ... ...
Therefore, Lao Wei's approach is correct. By the way, you must not gossip about this matter outside, as it would be detrimental to the child's future development
By the way, there is also...
Taking advantage of the commercial break at 8 o'clock, neighbor Mama Chen could no longer bear it and quietly opened a corner of the window. She frowned and said with reluctance
His attention was suddenly diverted, and his small body became less guarded as a result. When the bifurcated vine struck his lower back again, it felt particularly sharp and stinging, causing him to involuntarily cry out in pain.
Suddenly, she reached out her magical hand towards him, and he was so stiff that he could not move. No one would come to save him; his uncle had already escaped on his own. Immediately after, he felt a soft palm rubbing messily on the top of his head.
What nonsense! They all said that little Bao is his nephew, just staying at his house. Being so fierce, he is not afraid of what others might say
Mom, I would like to seek your consent. How about we take a nap first? Even a newborn baby has a hard time, so can we have a little quiet time?
"Wait a moment, I am not unwilling..." Wei Jiaquan felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and he did not dare to look at the young girl. He murmured almost to himself: "Is it now... even the ancestors cannot bear to watch and have come out to teach me a lesson? Did I really do something wrong..."
Wei Jiaquan, some things are better left unsaid; if you reveal the secrets of heaven, you will bear the responsibility, hmm? If it weren't for your excessive actions, I wouldn't have shown up. Let's talk things over properly; what does hitting a child even mean? You believe what Wei Shengsheng says, but you don't believe what Wei Baoping says? Then what about what I say, do you believe it? I know everything Ah Hui told you last night. " She whispered in his ear: "Jiaquan, if only you hadn't said you would bring Xiao Bao home back then, we wouldn't have to deal with so much trouble for him. " She imitated perfectly, even capturing his wife's frustration to a tee. I know everything Ah Hui told you last night. " She whispered in his ear: "Jiaquan, if only you hadn't said you would bring Xiao Bao home back then, we wouldn't have to deal with so much trouble for him. " She imitated perfectly, even capturing his wife's frustration to a tee.
Are you a eavesdropper? Staying up all night to eavesdrop in front of your uncle's room has forced me to become a thief of eavesdropping as well
At this moment, the rattan was striking his back and buttocks, large raindrops rolling down from his black bangs into his pitch-black eyes. He stubbornly kept them wide open, refusing to close them, and continued to stare intently at his uncle.
Had I known you were of such character, I would have preferred to strangle you the moment you arrived at my home! Have I deprived you of food or shelter, or mistreated you in any way? You insist on engaging in such nefarious behavior! How could the Wei family have such a gene as yours? It must be your father's fault! It is not that I want to punish you for no reason; if I do not strike today, I will have to visit you in prison tomorrow, and I cannot bear such shame!
You also know that I am just this mouth, but in my heart, I love Xiaobao very much
The young girl squinted as she gazed at Wei Jiaquan's back and let out a soft hum. "Even the ancestors do not dare to face it, not even as good as a child." She turned her face, looking down from a height at the expressionless child above. To her astonishment, she found that this vantage point, from which she could look down on others, filled her with a perverse sense of pleasure.
It is impossible for anyone to be at his home now, let alone a stranger he has never seen before
... Uncle, rest assured, I am mature and will not behave like other little brats who only use crying as a weapon. After he seriously answered in his heart, the baby's wailing suddenly exploded in his ears, leaving him dizzy and nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood
You cannot even discern the truth, believing whatever Wei Shengsheng says; are you not foolish? You might as well learn from Yue Buqun; even if you are unwilling in your heart, it would not be excessive to be somewhat accommodating. The young girl did not scold him like a shrew with her hands on her hips, nor did she raise her voice; she merely lifted her eyelids slightly to look at him, which was enough to convey her domineering presence.
He kept staring at the older sister and thus noticed that her expression became quite subtle after she heard her uncle's words. The child was too young to capture an accurate description at the moment, but he felt that her current expression resembled that of a classmate who had been searching for a diary in their backpack and finally saw it in the drawer with surprise. It was only when he grew a little older that he realized her expression at that moment was called enlightenment
Behind Wei Jiaquan is the open door of the Wei family ... The child is like a closed gourd, with his mouth tightly shut, his whole body soaked and shivering slightly, yet he stubbornly stands there ... Suddenly, he opens his eyes wide, staring behind Wei Jiaquan, his small mouth slightly agape, looking completely stunned
... No, aunt, I am not laughing; I am very serious right now. Mom, please address my question seriously.
So this is how you look, quite adorable. If it weren't for your... um, that thing, I would have thought you were a girl. It turns out I am the girl after all, and I just found that out a moment ago.
Hello, uncle? You are holding the wrong child; you must be holding a doll, as I don't feel anyone holding me. What is going on now? Don't tell me that Wei Xiaobao has another baby!
When Dad Chen was about to go back to watch television, he caught sight of his son, who was focused on doing his homework in the study. He lowered his voice and said: "Don't let your son play with that little Bao in the future"
This child truly lacks understanding; if only he could endure a little, repent, and act a bit spoiled, it would all pass. By avoiding punishment and refusing to accept it, does that not indicate a lack of remorse? When the Chen family moved here, the Wei family had two boys and one girl. These three children inherited the Wei family's good looks and bear a resemblance to Old Wei. If Old Wei had not mentioned that Xiao Bao is his nephew, the neighbors would not have noticed.
He always appears wooden when interacting with others, showing little expression; he does not understand how to greet people. The Wei family does not lack for food or clothing, so why does he put on such a stern face? She believes that if she were to take care of her nephews and nieces today, she would do no worse than the Wei family.
That is true... However, it was too harsh...
Who is crying? Are there other babies here
"March 8th, Little Bao has only just been born for a few days, can you tell that?" The man replied dismissively.
For several consecutive days, the rain has not stopped.
Wei Jiaquanyuyu said angrily, and was about to swing the rattan stick. At the moment he struck, the child was still staring blankly at his back
I know that you will treat Xiao Bao as your own and will want him to achieve great things, but please do not put pressure on the child. It is best to let him grow up smoothly, alright
I did not cry," he said, his neck stiffening
Mom
He turned back to look at the open door of his home, then slowly looked at the child, whose gaze was still blank, staring foolishly at the girl.
You remember, when you grow up in the future, do not strive too hard, just live a simple and pure life. Do not compete with others to the point of exhaustion for the top position, nor should you fall behind. It is sufficient to be in the middle with everyone else; this is the safest position, alright?
The child's fist was tightly clenched at his side, enduring without stepping back, staring at her intently.
I have been practicing my commitment, so when teaching Xiao Bao... Wei Jiaquan instinctively explained in a low voice, feeling a dryness in his throat, making it somewhat difficult for him to speak.
Father Chen walked over, took a glance, and said dismissively: "What’s the point of calling the police? It’s only natural for a parent to discipline their child. If it were me, I would do the same."
He is familiar with all the residents in the alley, but this girl looks very unfamiliar, not from around here... Wait a moment... This alley is a dead end, and tonight all the doors of the houses are tightly shut, only he has left his door wide open to chase after the child. Anyone entering this alley must pass by him and the child...
The girl's hairstyle resembles clear soup noodles, and she is wearing loose floral pajamas. The blue and white slippers on her feet are slightly oversized... So familiar, so familiar. Just yesterday, he was thinking that Ah Hui's pajamas were a bit outdated, lacking any charm. This morning, he saw these pajamas placed on the bedroom chair...
Hello? May I ask for your opinion? After all, he is the person involved. Is he really considering changing to someone else? Indeed, plans cannot keep up with changes. Initially, he wanted to be a good child, grow up well, and be filial to his mother. Now, changing to another family is also an option; he can be filial to his uncle and aunt instead. This world, with a shift in perspective, is still very beautiful. Wei Xiaobao has a strong adaptability and quickly accepts the "transactions" among adults. Indeed, plans cannot keep up with changes.

"Are you Wei Baoping?" she raised her eyebrow
He couldn't even bring himself to emphasize that he was a boy, and could only stare at her intently
Wei Jiaquan, have you forgotten your promise to Wei Baoping's mother? What did you say? I, Wei Jiaquan, vowed to take good care of Xiaobao, to raise him well, and to make him a source of pride for the Wei family. How are you acting now?
Then, the vine flew out into the rain and landed on the damp ground
He was awakened by a woman. To be honest, that feeling was truly unpleasant, as if his very essence was about to leave his body, only to be dragged back in a brutal manner, waking him up completely.
... ... Um, I understand. After stretching lazily, he still felt a strong sense of drowsiness and really wanted to take another nap.
Wei Jiaquan swore that he could indeed see a faint fear in the child's eyes... Just now, when he was hitting the child, the child was indeed facing the gate of the Wei family, so... Did the child witness her coming out of the Wei family with his own eyes
He widened his eyes
She quickly concealed her profound realization and said
Do you also understand what it means to feel pain? Your uncle can feel pain too, do you understand? I truly did not expect that the child I raised would turn out this way. Tell me, tell me, how many bad genes did your father pass on to you to make you like this? When the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked; people might think that there is a problem with the education in the Wei family!
Amidst the sound of rain, the faint sounds of whips striking and roaring can be heard
"Uncle, oh no, you are Wei Jiaquan. Have you had enough of beating?" A strange tone echoed in the pouring rain
His surname is Wei, and his nickname is Xiaobao. He is a male with a penis and has just been born for a short while... This is the information he has managed to gather with all his effort; although he feels a bit of dissonance due to having a penis, perhaps this is the reason why his past and present have not yet been harmonized. It doesn't matter, he believes that time will take away all the dissonance that should not exist; therefore, he is certain that he will soon accept the fact that the flesh between his legs is normal.
Then, who am I? In the midst of confusion, he became perplexed. No one spoke to him, no one mentioned him; was he collectively ostracized by the four members of the Wei family in tacit agreement?
The child is wearing a round-neck cartoon T-shirt and a pair of blue denim shorts today. The cartoon T-shirt is not a brand-name item, but it excels in quality and has bright colors. If the child stands there without speaking and avoids direct eye contact, he would appear to be a very cute and well-behaved little boy
Indeed, elder sister, look, Xiao Bao and Jia Quan resemble each other so much, they are practically like a father and son pair, no one would doubt it
Among these three children, the latter two are lively, clever, and sweet-tongued, namely Xiao Bao, who dislikes ... . To be honest, she tries to be fair, but sometimes human nature can be biased, which is not the fault of the adults
