?Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Love Rival Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Love Rival After Mrs. Wang left, Chen Afu skipped breakfast, bringing some steamed dumplings with him to the Tang Garden.

Dabao and Alu lived with Chu Lingzhi in a courtyard. When she arrived, the children were having breakfast.

Dabao was clearly distracted, his eyes slightly swollen from not sleeping well the previous night. Chu Lingzhi scolded him, “You are not behaving like a man, always clinging to your mother’s side. Look at me, I’ve been separated from my mother for so long, but I still eat and sleep as usual. My grandpa said that this is how you become a general and prosper in life.”

Dabao retorted, “That’s because your family is rich and powerful. You never fear being separated from your mother, never fear being unable to see her again. I’m different. My family is poor, and my grandmother has mentioned more than once about selling me into the mountains, selling me into an opera troupe. If that happens, I’ll never see my mother again.” He spoke steadily and in a low voice towards the end.

Chu Lingzhi responded dismissively, “Alu is part of your family, and he doesn’t fear being separated from his mother like you do.”

Dabao blurted out, “That’s because I’m not…” and quickly covered his mouth, swallowing the rest of his words. It was the truth that he hated to acknowledge but couldn’t deny. He wasn’t his mother’s biological son, and everyone knew, which was why he felt even more scared.

He didn’t say another word, but the rims of his eyes turned red.
