Rebirth of an abandoned woman

Chapter 114: Leaked From Flying Into A Rage

"This woman was just spouting rubbish, Li Zheng, please don't take it to heart!" Sang Pingliang smiled then added, "Rest assured, I can promise you that we will treat Xiao Fei as our own son once he's adopted. If you don't believe us, we can put that down on paper! Sigh, when one is old without a son, just thinking about the future brings chills to my heart; we really harbor no other reasons! Li Zheng, you are a person of old age as well, surely you must be able to empathize with me!"

"Ah Hong, what do you think?" Li Zheng sighed again. If only I knew it would come to this, I would have acted differently!

"No!" With the situation reaching this stage, Sang Hong knew he had to remain firm. If he were to show any signs of giving in, they would definitely grab onto it tightly.

"You unfilial brat! Are you in a position to decide? I won't accept a 'no' for an answer even if you disagree!" Sang Pingliang glared at Sang Hong and snarled. His heart was full of anger! He had almost convinced Li Zheng entirely but this rascal just had to become so hard-headed!

Refusing to back down, Sang Hong replied, "If Mister Sang had raised this before yesterday, I would have said nothing. But now, saying that I'm unfilial doesn't seem right, does it?"

"You——"

"Eh, Ah Hong isn't wrong!" Li Zheng glared at the furious Sang Pingliang. "Your family has broken ties with theirs; both of you are no longer their elders now, so how can you criticize him for being unfilial? If he is unwilling to let you adopt his blood-related brother, then so be it. You have no say in this! Alright, alright! Let's stop with this now! From how I see it, the two of you are still healthy. Why not just go to a neighboring district to adopt another child from the same ancestry? He will still be able to look after you and give you a proper burial!"

A sudden realization struck Li Zheng, and he took a brief look at Sang Pingliang and Li Shi. Oh, since Sang Yufei is all grown up now, they would be able to have another pair of working hands without having to lift a finger at raising another child once they adopt him! This couple must indeed be harboring this thought!

Li Zheng looked down on them even more. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Enough, enough! Old Brother Sang, you are also a wizened man now; you can't keep making changes to decisions that were already made! How can you simply revert the decision you made yesterday? Furthermore, this isn't a small matter! Enough of this already, it's no longer early now, so all of you, please go back! Oh right, take the chickens that you brought here with you as well!"

This couple... Thinking again, those words surely were redundant; they would have taken those chickens away without my reminder.

"Please excuse me!" Sang Hong stood up and cupped his hands together as he bid farewell.

However, Sang Pingliang grabbed onto him and said, "We have not asked Xiao Fei about this! How do you know whether Xiao Fei is unwilling? Call Xiao Fei now, I will ask him directly!"

"That's right, that's right! Xiao Fei is so nice, unlike you, an unconscientious brat!" Li Shi chipped in.

Why is this couple talking in such an erratic manner today? Li Zheng was perplexed. Something is definitely strange!

"Alright then, call Xiao Fei over and ask him too." Li Zheng felt disgusted at how persistent the couple was acting and wished he could chase them away as soon as possible. Thus, he warned, "I will say this upfront. If Xiao Fei is unwilling, then we'll close this matter! Everyone here will speak no more about this and quickly return to your own homes!"

"Then if he is willing, Li Zheng, you'll have to help us!" Li Shi hurriedly said.

Li Zheng glanced at Sang Hong and seeing how he had nothing to comment, nodded his head, "If he is willing, then I will help you guys with this matter." After calling for his son, he instructed him to head to Sang Hong's house and invite Sang Yufei over.
