Mu Zhixing burst into tears.
The stepfather said, "Let's continue playing the marriage game!"
"I won't play."
"You naughty girl!"
The stepfather was still in the process of "desensitizing" the child, but he hadn't taken the most despicable step yet.
But the child could distinguish between good and bad intentions in her eyes.
She cried even more miserably.
Her pretty little face had turned completely red from crying!
The neighbors next door started knocking on the door.
The stepfather had to restrain himself, and then glared at Mu Zhixing, "You got off easy this time."
Mu Zhixing was terrified, hoping that someone would descend from the sky and rescue her, taking her anywhere.
She recalled what her beautiful sister had said, that she had many children to play with and beautiful little dresses.
At that moment, she ran out of her stepfather's room and hid in a corner of the balcony.
Not knowing when she could leave, crystal tears slid down her eyes.
The next day, as soon as Mu Zhixing's mother stepped out, she discovered a banner hung at the community gate. She was going to join the crowd but realized it was about her family when she got closer.
Mu Zhixing's biological father was holding up the banner and telling the neighbors that the child's mother treated her poorly and wouldn't let him see her!
A group of gossipy elderly people surrounded him.
The mother immediately became furious, rushed over, tore down the banner, and threw it on the ground raving, "What are you trying to do?"
"If you don't give me custody of the child, I'll keep causing a scene. I'm a poor man, and I'm not afraid of someone like you who has money."
"Why do you need custody of the child? What do you want to do with her?"
The child's father completely avoided answering that question and said, "Since you only love the child you had later, then give this child back to me!"
The two quarreled to the point of no reconciliation.
During a fit of rage, it's easy to speak without thinking, especially since the two had divorced bitterly.
They accused each other of infidelity before and during their marriage.
The surrounding people were excited and upon closer listening, realized that neither of them was a good person; they had both erred during their marriage.
Relatively speaking, the woman was better. She had taken the child when they separated.
The man had said he didn't want the child at the time, fearing it would hinder his ability to find a new partner.
"Now he wants her again, what good does he think will come of it?"
"If you don't give her to me, I'll keep talking, don't think I don't know about your past misdeeds."
The child's mother was about to explode with anger, "How blind was I to have chosen you in the first place?"
Such an idiot.
Even if he left, she still had to live here.
Moreover, the child's stepfather was well-known in this area, and his family was already dissatisfied that he had married a divorced woman with a child.
Now encountering this disturbance from her ex-husband, how miserable was her fate?
While they were at odds over the child's custody, neither of them was doing it for the child's sake.
At that moment, the child's father had a clever idea, "Give me 500,000 yuan and I'll leave immediately."
"Why don't you go rob someone for 500,000 yuan?"
While the child's mother was engaged in this war of words, the stepfather returned and saw a crowd gathered.
He immediately started fighting with the child's biological father.
Shen Wei was nearby, and with her system capable of releasing electric shocks, she naturally wouldn't let Mu Zhixing's biological father be wronged.
With the increased crowd, they were soon separated, both with bruised faces.
The child's stepfather spoke up, "We won't give up custody." He hadn't achieved his vile intentions yet, so how could he let his prey escape?
Mu Zhixing's biological father had old and new grudges against him.
At that moment, he mocked, "You say you won't give me my child? What does it have to do with you? I'll sue you, and while I'm at it, I'll expose all your past deeds. Don't we have the internet now? Why don't we calculate the months between your affair and your child's birth date; I guarantee there will be a surprise!"
After saying this, he still wasn't satisfied, "Oh, I heard you have a respectable job? Otherwise, I'll hang this banner outside your company building, how about that?"
The child's biological father was just a scoundrel. He had seduced the child's mother in the past.
Love is easily worn down by the mundane matters of life, let alone when both people are dishonorable.
The cracks grew wider over time.
After the child was born, they each went their separate ways.
Originally, they were just playing their own games, not interfering with each other.
But speaking it out loud was enough to shatter one's values.
Now, in a fit of rage, he seemed intent on mutual destruction.
Even the child's stepfather was intimidated by his behavior, his heaving chest showing how enraged he was.
Seeing the growing crowd, the child's mother made a quick decision, "If you want me to give you the child, then you have to pay me every penny of the child support the court ordered, 50,000 yuan."
The child's stepfather disagreed.
But the child's mother said, "He can talk big, but let's see if he'll actually put his money where his mouth is. The first one to object will be him!"
Sure enough, when she said that, the child's biological father's face fell.
But the child's biological father was no pushover either, saying, "I hear your husband works at a good company and has a respectable job. If I tell everyone that you're abusing my daughter like this, I wonder what they'll think of him."
"You dare!" She took pride in her husband's work. Just the thought of this scoundrel made her tremble.
"Alright, so you want the child? I'll give her to you. But if you ever try to send her back, I'll scratch your face."
The child's mother decisively signed away her custody rights.
She then went back home, picked up the frail Mu Zhixing, and tossed her into their arms like trash. Fortunately, Shen Wei was quick and caught the child.
As they left, the crowd of spectators dispersed.
Back at home, the child's stepfather was furious, "Why did you give them the child?" He was like an enraged lion. "Your ex-husband is a scoundrel, can he raise the child properly?"
The child's mother said, "I know he can't raise her well, but continuing this won't do us any good. He's worthless; I've given her up! If he gets tired of her later, it'll be hard for him to send her back!"
The mother sensed the stepfather's reluctance to let the child go and said, "You have your own daughter, why are you still hung up on that little burden?" She was a little jealous.
The child's stepfather would usually comfort her, but at that moment, his mood was terrible.
He turned and went upstairs, and after returning to his room, he furiously smashed a glass!
...
Meanwhile, Shen Wei took the child out for a McDonald's kids' meal.
The child's birth father, who wasn't eating, said to Shen Wei, "Why did you go through so much trouble to bring the child here?"
Shen Wei said, "I have a connection with this child, and the child wasn't living well at home."
The child's birth father gave a flattering smile, "Oh, I see, a great philanthropist."
While Mu Zhixing was eating, there were red marks on her arms from being hit with a broom.
Although the child's birth father didn't care about his own daughter, seeing her beaten made him somewhat angry, "That woman really isn't a good thing. Even if raising her carelessly, she shouldn't have let the child become like this, look how thin the child is."
The child's birth father said, "I'll give you the child, and I'll feel at ease, but this child is also pitiful!"
After saying that, the child's birth father tapped the table with his hand, making quite a few small gestures.
"The abandonment of adoption agreement you had me sign earlier, I can sign it, but I can't stand that woman always plotting little schemes." He had an undignified separation from his ex-wife. Now that he could make her suffer and someone else would raise his daughter, he was delighted.
