Chapter 155: Chapter 155

Bai Dahe looked at Grandpa Bai, completely at a loss. Bai Ruxue was right; this job was brought in by her and really had nothing to do with the Bai Family.

Grandpa Bai waved his hand to make Bai Dahe shut up.

He suddenly remembered that the second son’s job was also gotten by this girl. He’d better not lose the second son’s job while failing to secure the eldest son’s job; that would be a loss.

Everyone in the room exchanged glances, unsure of what to say, only occasionally interrupted by Grandma Bai’s sobbing.

"Alright, stop crying! Let’s all discuss how to resolve this matter next!" Wang Jianjun, an outsider and also the team leader, was now the most suited to preside over the situation.

"Team Leader, please speak for me! Tell my sister-in-law not to sue me! I’ll give her son back! I’ll give him back!" Grandma Bai suddenly seemed to have found her pillar of support, grabbing Wang Jianjun’s arm to plead.

Everyone in the room watched this scene. The Bai Dahe family couldn’t come in, but they anxiously looked at the team leader, while Grandpa Bai lowered his head with worry, his thoughts unclear.

Her own son Lin Gang just snorted, turning his head away from her.

Clearly, he didn’t think highly of this biological mother; whether he recognized her or not was irrelevant to him.

The result he wanted most was not recognizing kinship; he could still inherit the job, while his biological parents might still care for him a bit! That way it would be the best of both worlds.

Daliang tried several times to speak up, but was stopped by Xianglan.

Bai Ruxue looked at her father, who was troubled, and sneered inwardly, finding it hopelessly foolish filial piety.

In the whole matter, the one most harmed was him, Bai Daliang. Not only did he fail to grow up with his biological parents, he did not receive much paternal or maternal love, nor did he get to study. The most important part is he didn’t even see his biological father’s last face.

As for Lin Gang? He became the adored apple of the Lin Family’s eyes, getting whatever he wanted; whatever the Lin Family had, they absolutely did not let this only son, the grandson, suffer.

Whereas Bai Daliang, from a young age, had nothing that his siblings had; while they could study, he could not.

Whatever task was most tiring, it was his to do, with the rhetoric that he was the eldest brother, so he had to take care of his younger siblings.

After marrying his wife, his mother disliked her the most, but compared to the other three daughters-in-law, what did his wife lack? If not for the Wang Family not demanding a dowry out of consideration for their daughter’s preference, Bai Daliang wouldn’t have been able to marry a wife.

Soon the family was divided, and he ended up with a rundown house; though the second brother was also set apart, he wasn’t as starving as their family, allowing them to carry on. The source of this content ɪs novel{f}ire.net

"Xianglan sister! What do you think of this matter?" Wang Jianjun reluctantly asked the tear-swollen-eyed Bai Xianglan. "I know, you were hurt by this, and Daliang too, but, no matter what, you all are one family, and ultimately, your son was raised by Brother Bai. Could you consider?" Wang Jianjun trailed off, waiting for Bai Xianglan’s response.

Bai Ruxue sneered, "Team Leader, can being raising compare to being raised like that? You know how my dad grew up, right? You’ve seen how much hardship he endured, haven’t you?" Bai Ruxue knew some things from Third Granny’s constant talks.

"Boohoohoo..." After Bai Ruxue spoke, Bai Xianglan was heard wailing, crying so heartwrenchingly.

"I gave everything to raise the one who is not my son. In this lifetime, I have just this one son, yet someone swapped him out, subjected him to incessant suffering. The treasure that should have been cherished to the heavens was trampled for a lifetime. This is a grudge I cannot swallow; it’s utterly venomous, utterly venomous! Boohoo... It’s time for her to repay! I want nothing but her imprisonment! I want her to reflect in prison for the rest of her life!"

At that, Grandma Bai was scared into sitting on the ground, her eyes full of fear.

"No...no, I won’t go to prison, I can’t go to prison, old man, quickly help me plead with my Sister, I don’t want to go to prison, I don’t want to go to prison!" In her haste, she clutched at Grandpa Bai’s trousers.

Originally, Grandpa Bai was also furious; he too was kept in the dark about the whole matter. If he had known, he certainly wouldn’t have swapped his own son with others.

In this matter, everyone might have misgivings about him, but he was actually angrier than Bai Xianglan, unable to overcome this mental hurdle, having also contemplated that no matter how his sister treated Grandma Bai, he wouldn’t intervene, allowing her to learn a lesson.

He never thought his usually obedient wife would hide such things from him.

Though Grandma Bai was notorious, known for being a shrew, she feared Grandpa Bai the most. Whenever he spoke, no matter how crazed Grandma Bai got, he could immediately control the situation.

"Sister... look, your sister-in-law knows her mistake too; could this be the end of it? The children are grown up now, haven’t they? Shall we, if you really want Daliang to recognize his roots, I can agree with you, just don’t sue your sister-in-law! If not feasible, we won’t let Gangzi come over either, letting him, together with Daliang, care for you! Is this okay?"

Grandpa Bai discussed with his sister in a tone that momentarily left Bai Xianglan in a daze, feeling like the elder brother who pampered her and often delighted her as a child had returned.

But in a moment of haziness, she came back to her senses.

Could the brother before her, with just a few words, cover up everything, smooth the matter of 30-something years of separation from her flesh and blood?

"Impossible! I only want my son; you take your sons away yourselves! I don’t care! Also! Liu Lanxiang must go to prison! I won’t listen to any remorse, apology!" As the pitiless words left her mouth, Grandma Bai went insane.

She was very old now; if sentenced to prison, she might die there without mentioning the hardships.

She couldn’t go to prison, couldn’t.

Thinking about it, she looked at Lin Gang, with pleading eyes scrambling over, "Son, save Mom! Mom did everything for you! To let you eat well, dress warmly, and grow up well, to have a bright future, Mom swapped you to your Aunt’s! Save Mom! Don’t leave Mom! Mom doesn’t want to go to prison!"

"Get away from me! It’s all your fault my good job is gone! My city resident status is about to be lost! You have the nerve to ask me! I want to ask you!" Lin Gang pulled his trouser leg out of Grandma Bai’s hand, speaking coldly.

Grandma Bai was shocked. She didn’t expect, after the truth was revealed, this son not only wasn’t moved, grateful, but instead treated her coldly, with full distaste.

All her life she has been disdainful of others; which of the children dared speak a harsh word or go against her?

After having daughters-in-law, even more so, she commanded the household, scolding and hitting at will; sons wouldn’t dare say a word, daughters-in-law instead had to try to please her.

Yet now she was being despised by this son. She painstakingly contemplated wanting him to live well, having fallen to the point of imprisonment, and he wasn’t even moved but instead despised her?

Grandma Bai couldn’t take it, tears streaming down her face, staring dumbly at Lin Gang, asking.

"Are you despising Mom?"

"Yes! Get away from me quickly! I only want her as my Mom! Not you!" Lin Gang pointed at Bai Xianglan, speaking with deeper disdain in his eyes.

"Ha ha... ha ha! A dog doesn’t mind a poor house, a son doesn’t despise an ugly mother! I, Liu Lanxiang, is despised by my birth son today! Ha ha ha..."
