"Mom, I'm serious," Xiao Lingyu said firmly. "If there's a child, I will give birth to him!" She had to have Xiao Tong.
Mother Xiao was surprised by Xiao Lingyu's determination. Father Xiao and Brother Xiao also looked at Xiao Lingyu with confusion.
Mother Xiao was the first to come back to her senses. She said in a rough tone, "Xiao Lingyu, are you crazy? If you really give birth to that child, how do you think the others will see him? They will always see him as a bastard."
The word bastard slammed right into Xiao Lingyu's heart. It caused her mind to go blank.
She remembered that Xiao Tong grew up in contempt of the villagers, both adults and children. The children called Xiao Tong a bastard, a child abandoned by his parents.
"Besides, how do you plan to marry with a child?" Mother Xiao questioned. No one knew about Xiao Lingyu's one-night-stand. It'd soon be forgotten. Xiao Lingyu could still find a good man to marry. However, all that would be ruined if there was a child.
