"Sure, as long as you're willing to let me take care of your son, and you're not afraid he'll start seeing me as his mom and get closer to me, I have no objections! After all, I already have three kids to look after; one more won't make a difference. Tending to one sheep is the same as tending to a flock!" Xu Xiuxiu agreed. At the same time, a knock on the door could be heard, and she raised her eyebrows, guessing that the person outside was undoubtedly Shi Yu.
"What is there to fear? Even if he's not close to me, he's still my son. When I get old and fall ill, he'd still need to take good care of me." Yuan Shixiang spoke confidently and haughtily. Despite her free-range parenting, Yuan Shixiang still harbored the traditional belief of raising children to secure one's future.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk to you anymore. There's someone knocking at the door; it might be your son!" Xu Xiuxiu turned her head and looked at the firmly closed front door as she spoke.
