NovelEnglishAfter Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 1074 Choosing The Child
"If you agree to this matter, then bring 1,000 dollars to me the day after tomorrow. I'll get that family to send the child over and we'll do an exchange. Then it'll be considered done," Jiang Yi said calmly.
An amount of 1,000 dollars! Tan Jing looked at Jiang Yi in shock. An amount of 100 dollars was already considered a huge sum of money to her. If Jiang Yi even dared to ask her for 1,000 dollars, she did not believe that those people were not selling the child.
"I can't give them so much money, but I can buy enough groceries for their family to eat their fill for the first half of the year. I will not agree to anything else. There are so many children out there and I can adopt any of them," Tan Jing said.

Are those children out there related to us by blood! Go and ask Xia Wen to send the money over. Otherwise, I'll expose everything you said to me and we'll see who's the one who'll be disgraced," Jiang Yi said mockingly to Tan Jing.
Jiang Yi was already so old, so why would she care about her reputation? If reputation was important to her, then she would not have clung to Tan Jing and the Xia family like a leech for so many years.
Was there not a saying?
Shameless people were invincible.
Since Jiang Yi was behaving so shamelessly with Tan Jing, therefore Tan Jing did not think there was anything wrong with turning her back on her mother. Was this about behaving shamelessly? She could do that too. After all, did she even command any more respect nowadays?
These people who called themselves her family members had nothing but money on their minds. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Tan Jing was infertile. At this moment, the Xia family was starting to treat her coldly, Xia Wen was drifting away from her, and she had no one to rely on and no job to speak of.
Since she was already a person who had nothing, she was not afraid of anything. At most, she would just fight it to the death with Jiang Yi.
"I don't have any money, I only have my life left. If you don't give me this child, I'll go to the police and report you for abducting and trafficking children. Let's see who's the one who'll suffer then!" Tan Jing said with a smile.
"Are you crazy! You actually want to send your own mother to jail! How can there be a daughter like you!" Jiang Yi roared.
"I don't just want to send you to jail, but the rest of the family too! Tan Hu is still gambling outside. Isn't Tan Bao having an affair outside? I recall that Tan Shi is going to be of marriageable age soon. If people find out that he has family members with criminal records, will there be any nice girls who will want to marry him? If I can't live a good life, then none of you can have a good life too!" Tan Jing said fiercely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmong all her family members, the only person she did not mention was Tan Yue. Tan Yue also had a hard life and went through similar experiences as Tan Jing when she was young. Even after getting married to Zhou Nan, she still had a tough life. She had already given birth to three daughters after four years of marriage. Zhou Nan said that as long as she could not give birth to a son, she would need to continue to give birth until the Zhou family had a successor. He did not even care about whether Tan Yue's health could take it.
"I want to see this child tomorrow! If you don't bring me the child, don't blame me for doing what I need to do!" Tan Jing said.
Jiang Yi said nervously, "Even if we inform the family tonight, the child won't be able to get here until the morning of the day after tomorrow. Do you think he can travel by rocket!"
"Fine, then let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll buy some groceries for this child's family but I won't give them anything else. Isn't it your intention for a child from the Tan family to get a share of the Xia family's assets? Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. If you want money, then you should behave nicely. Otherwise, none of you can have a good life!" Tan Jing said.
Tan Hu stood outside and heard everything that was being discussed in the room. Tan Jing needed a child to fight for a share of the Xia family's assets and it must be a child from the Tan family.
If so, then why not his son, Tan Xue? If the stakes were the Xia family's assets, he was willing to give his own son to Tan Jing. They were biological aunt and nephew! This familial relationship was definitely much closer than one with a distant relative! Even if it ended up with Tan Jing only getting a small share of the assets, she would at least treat his son well.
Tan Hu immediately turned around to pull Xu Xiang out of the house. The two of them sneaked into the woodshed for a chat.
"What are you doing! I'm stewing vegetables in the pot! Your mother will scold me again if the dish gets burnt! Let me go back!" Xu Xiang said as she struggled.
