A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 365: Can We Be Your Parents?

The little girl still didn't look up, but her small body stiffened when she heard Song Ning's words.

Song Ning knew she was listening, so he continued, "You have lost your mother now, and your grandmother and eldest brother are unwilling to raise you. I want to find you a pair of foster parents and let you go to their home and be their child. In the future, someone will protect you and won't let you get beaten or go hungry, nor will you be bullied."

He talked a lot, said a lot, and gave many examples to calm the little girl's uneasy heart.

After Song Ning finished speaking, she fell silent. After a long while, the little girl finally responded. She slowly raised her head, feeling a little nervous and uneasy, but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Song Ning turned around and looked at Zhou Ru, and they smiled at each other.

They stayed in the servants' yard for a long time, teaching San Ya earnestly what to do when she went to her adoptive parents' home in the future, and how to be filial to her adoptive parents when she grew up.

It was not until the servants from the front yard came over and said that the distinguished guests had arrived that the two of them got up and took San Ya directly to the front yard.

When we arrived at the small flower hall in the front yard, there were a few unfamiliar faces besides Zhou Huan and his son and Hang Shuheng.

There was a family of three sitting in the guest seats on one side. The man looked to be in his thirties and had an elegant temperament.

On one side of the man was his wife, a kind-looking woman with a gentle look on her face.

When the woman saw them coming in, she nodded kindly. After seeing the girl they brought with them, her eyes lit up and she stood up and went to greet them, "Is this the child?"

Zhou Huan acted as a middleman and introduced them to each other.

The family's surname is Xu. The man is a juren from a neighboring county. His family has some assets. Now, in order to take his children to seek medical treatment, he has lost the desire to take the imperial examination and opened his own academy.

The reason for coming to Pingyang County this time was, firstly, because he had some business dealings with Zhou's Trading Company, and secondly, because he heard that there was a fortune-teller here who was very good at fortune-telling, so he brought his children here to take a look.

Young Master Xu is eleven years old this year. He had a serious illness when he was a child and has been suffering from it. He has been seeking medical treatment and medicine for so many years, but his condition has not improved.

Someone suggested that since medicine was not promising, they might as well try metaphysics, which would probably not help.

Mr. Xu was originally an atheist, but he was not a pedantic and rigid person. For the sake of his son, even though he did not have much hope in those mysterious metaphysical theories, he was still willing to give it a try.

From this point on, what happened next was what Zhou Huan had said.

At this time, Mrs. Xu came to San Ya herself and tried to get close to her, but the child seemed very defensive and resisted her touch.

Mrs. Xu felt a little disappointed. When she gave birth to her child, she almost had a difficult time and it damaged her foundation. After that, she never got pregnant again in all these years.

God knows, she dreamed of having another child, whether it was a girl or a boy. After hearing the master's comments, she thought that adopting a child would be a good idea.

So, when they received the message sent by Zhou Huan, the couple discussed it and decided to come and see for themselves.

Young Master Xu knew that his parents were going to adopt a younger sister, so he insisted that they bring him along with them. He also wanted to see what his future sister would look like.

Song Ning did not miss the disappointed look on Madam Xu's face, so he said, "Madam, this child's situation is a little special. Why don't we talk for a moment? I'll explain it to you in detail!"

After Mrs. Xu nodded, Song Ning led her to a side hall with ease and told her everything about San Ya.

Mrs. Xu was a kind-hearted person. She felt extremely distressed when she heard that the child had experienced so much hardship at such a young age.

When the two returned to the small flower hall, Mrs. Xu's eyes were slightly red.

She walked up to the skinny little child and half-knelt down. She held the child in her arms despite the child's resistance, "What a miserable child."

San Ya's small body was stiff, she dared not move, she tilted her head to look for someone familiar, but at this moment her back was completely turned to Song Ning, Zhou Ru and others. When she turned her head, she only saw Mr. Xu and his son, their eyes full of confusion, helplessness and anxiety.

Fortunately, Madam Xu soon let her go, looked at her tenderly, and said kindly, "Child, can we be your father and mother in the future?"

San Ya didn't dare to speak and turned to look at Song Ning and Hang Shuheng.

The two of them received the child's gaze, gave her encouraging looks and nodded to her.

Seeing that the child was a little loose, Mrs. Xu took her by the hand and came over to Mr. Xu and his son.

"Come, this is your future father and brother. They will love you and treat you well. They will not let you go hungry or be bullied." Madam Xu introduced her husband and son to San Ya and asked again, "Are you willing to go home with us and recognize us as your father and mother?"

Young Master Xu got down from the chair very cooperatively and called his sister directly, "Sister, come home with us! From now on, brother will teach you how to read and write, and take you to fly kites."

Mr. Xu also nodded and agreed, "Your brother is very good at making kites. When you get home, ask your brother to make one for you."

San Ya had never felt much warmth since she was a child. Facing such a kind family who treated her tenderly, she felt like she was dreaming.

In the past, her father would beat her mother and her whenever he got drunk. At that time, her mother would always protect her.

Later, I don’t know when it started, but her mother no longer cared about her. When her father beat her, her mother would hide and not come out until her father finished beating her.

Later, after her father died, she and her mother were driven away by her eldest brother and his wife. After that, many things happened and her mother no longer cared about her.

Every time when she was beaten by her grandma and aunt, she wished her mother could protect her, but her wish was never fulfilled.

The little girl looked at the person in front of her with a changing expression. There was desire and yearning in her eyes, but also nervousness and uneasiness.

Song Ning came over and said to San Ya in a gentle tone: "Child, if you want, just call them dad and mom. They are both very good people. They won't beat or scold you like your grandma and aunt do. They will treat you well."

After hearing what Song Ning said, Mrs. Xu looked at San Ya expectantly, "Child, are you willing?"

Everyone fell silent involuntarily, waiting for the little girl's reaction.

It seemed like a long time had passed before I finally heard a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Mother, mother..."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment. She had imagined what it would be like if she had another child and the child called her "Mom". But when she actually heard a child calling her "Mom", she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
