How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 19 Adoption
Guan Xu's eyes widened. It was his younger sister? The eldest and second brothers were not surprised at all. He asked blankly, "Am I the only one who doesn't know?"
Xia Tian sighed. He was afraid Aunt Wang wouldn't agree. He had almost forgotten about it. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just worried that you were young and that you might let it slip. Have you ever seen girls in a beggar's den? You don't want to know what happened to them."
Dong Xiaohuan understood what she was saying. If it were a girl, she'd probably be taken away by someone in a brothel or a beggar's den... Besides, Xia Chu was so pretty; if anyone knew, the consequences would be disastrous. But she and Brother Yong both thought it was a boy, even though she preferred girls.
No wonder the sweet and obedient one was actually a girl. She looked at Xia Chu and liked her more and more. Girls are good, aren't girls even better? If she has one in the future, she won't have to worry about two children fighting over something.
Does Brother Ke Yong agree?
"I'm back." Wang Yong, who had been being talked about, had just returned from duty. Seeing everyone in the room looking grave, he couldn't help but look at his wife. "What's going on? Are you all so bitter and resentful? What happened?"
Dong Xiaohuan sighed, "Brother Yong, Xiaochu, it's a girl."
"Girl?" Wang Yong looked at Xia Chu and said inexplicably, "Isn't a girl better? Don't you just want a good daughter?"
Xia Chu looked up with her mouth open, girl is better?
Dong Xiaohuan immediately clapped her hands and smiled, "I do like it, but I'm afraid you don't like it."
Wang Yong untied the water bag and threw it on the table. "I'm fine with it, as long as you like it."
Dong Xiaohuan smiled sweetly, then turned to Xia Chu, "Xiaochu, are you happy?"
Xia Chu looked at her brothers. The eldest and second brothers' eyes were full of urging, while the fifth brother lowered his head, not knowing what to think. It would be better to agree first. Now that she has a family, her brothers will definitely find a way to deal with it in the future!
And that pearl, if the children were to sell it, they would definitely be undervalued. If Wang Yong and his wife were to go, they could get a higher price. "I'm happy with that."
I will remember the kindness of this couple and repay them by being filial to them in the future.
"Isn't that good? Another good daughter." Wang Yong looked at Xia Chu, "I was wondering why this boy looked so effeminate. Turns out he's a girl."
"Great! I have a daughter too." Dong Xiaohuan was overjoyed, reaching out to pull Xia Chu into her arms. "She's too thin. She needs to be taken care of." "Her hair isn't growing well. I'll buy her some hair oil to take good care of it." "She also needs some nice clothes. I want to share this happy event with the neighbors."
Xia Chu snuggled in Dong Xiaohuan's arms, inhaling her delicate scent of soapberry. She thought of her mother, wondering how devastated she must have been to hear of her death. Her brother was a henpecked husband, but he was also quite filial, so he'd probably take her in to care for her. Her sister-in-law was a fiery and nitpicky woman, and she hoped she wouldn't be too harsh on her mother for the sake of her inheritance.
Xia Tian pulled his brothers out and was seen by Wang Yong. "Why are you leaving? Come back after dinner."
"No..." Xia Tian refused and ran away quickly.
"Brother!" Xia Chu still had many things to explain. After chasing for two steps without catching up, he stomped his feet in anger.
"Brother, why don't you eat? I'm hungry." Guan Xu didn't understand.
Xia Tian explained, "My sister is already under the care of others. We can't stay here and be a nuisance to them. What if they get upset and don't want my sister anymore?"
Guan Xu pouted and said unhappily, "If you don't want it, then don't want it. Can't we just be together? It's not like we can't afford to eat now. Why do we have to have parents? We can live well by selling flowers."
Zhang Zhou touched his brother's head and said, "Xiaowu, your sister is a girl, different from us. If she always hangs out with us, she won't be able to get married in the future. Now that Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang have adopted her, she has parents and a house to live in. She doesn't have to worry about starving. We should be happy for her."
Guan Xu was a little unconvinced, but didn't know how to argue, so he could only pout and follow him back to the deserted house.
After returning to the room they lived in, Xia Tian remembered, "I forgot to buy steamed buns. I'll go hungry tonight and eat tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he took off his shoes and climbed into bed. He felt a little uncomfortable without the familiar people around him. He was actually reluctant to leave, but this choice was better for his sister. They should also visit his sister less often in the future and not cause her any trouble.
This is fine, too. Xia Tian faced the wall and smiled bitterly.
Guan Xu was dissatisfied, "Don't you all miss Xiaoliu?"
Zhang Zhou sighed, patted his shoulder, and climbed onto the bed to sleep.
Guan Xu pouted, climbed onto the bed with kicks and stomps, turned over several times, but no one paid any attention to him, so he could only sulk in silence.
Xia Chu was a bit surprised to be adopted for the first time. The Wangs were very kind people. They would always give her food whenever they saw her, always worried that she would be hungry. They would also invite neighbors to buy their flowers, and they especially showed great affection for her.
Aunt Wang always likes to touch her, rubbing her head, touching her face, and pinching her hands. When she touches her, her expression is as if she has found money. She also likes to stare at her. No matter what she does, Aunt Wang thinks she is awesome, smart, and cute.
At this moment, Dong Xiaohuan hugged her happily and rolled up her sleeves, "Wait, mother will make you something delicious!"
Xia Chu followed her happily. When Aunt Wang picked vegetables, she fetched water. When Aunt Wang cooked, she lit the fire. When the dishes were ready, she handed the plates out.
This caused Aunt Wang to praise her non-stop, "Nannan is so smart, she knows I need to wash the vegetables."
"You can also light a fire? Stay away and don't lift your clothes."
"I don't want you to carry the food, don't get burned."
"That's awesome! I didn't drop the plate. Hahahaha..."
Wang Yong was chopping wood in the yard, listening to his wife's voice. He could sense her happiness just from her tone. He had made the right choice in marrying this girl. If he could make Huanniang so happy every day, he wouldn't hesitate to marry her brothers as well.
Huanniang had been planning to take good care of Xiachu, so she had plenty of vegetables and meat at home. She immediately made some stir-fried spring bamboo shoots and pork, spinach and tofu soup, stir-fried bean sprouts, and a pot of mung bean and bacon rice.
"Wow!" Xia Chu exclaimed in surprise. The rice with rice crust was so fragrant.
Dong Xiaohuan was amused by her appearance and said, "Let's go eat."
The crunchy rice crust mixed with bacon was delicious. Fresh spring bamboo shoots, soft tofu, and crisp bean sprouts made it the most satisfying meal I'd had since arriving here in early summer.
"Eat more and drink some soup." Dong Xiaohuan didn't care about herself and kept picking up food for Xia Chu. She was happy just watching Xia Chu eat. This little mouth was so capable and good at eating. As she watched, she suddenly covered her mouth, turned around and rested her forehead on her husband's shoulder, choking and saying, "I have a daughter too."
Wang Yong put down his chopsticks, hugged her and whispered to her, "Don't cry, the child is laughing at me. I told you to go out and say that there was something wrong with me, but you didn't listen. You suffered so much injustice for so many years. Why bother?"
Dong Xiaohuan rubbed his eyes and said, "It's obviously me. You're a grown man and you rely on your face when you go out. How can I embarrass you?"
Xia Chu looked up and continued eating. She was just a child and didn't understand anything. But Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang loved her so much, it made me crazy.
Wang Yong said softly, "Nonsense, I don't rely on my reputation, I rely on my ability."
Dong Xiaohuan smiled, looked up and said, "I said the wrong thing. My man relies on his own ability."
