90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Xie Yan heard what Xie Jianhua said, looked up at him, and waited for him to continue asking: "Dad, what do you want to say?"

Xie Jianhua looked at his daughter's curious eyes. He patted Xie Yan's head gently and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, Dad wanted to ask you, did you find a baby girl? Are you taking care of her?"

Xie Yan listened carefully and nodded. Facing the strange looks from her uncle's family, she smiled faintly: "Yes, I found an abandoned baby girl and I brought her with me."

"Yan Yan, what are your plans?" Xie Jianhua said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, "Do you want a younger sister?"

Xie Yan's face looked a little serious because of her seriousness. She nodded: "Dad, I really want this little sister."

Xie Jianhua felt a surge of warmth in his heart after hearing this. He patted Xie Yan's shoulder again. It was a good thing that his daughter was gentle, kind, and independent. "Yan Yan, have you made up your mind?"

Xie Yan nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "Of course."

She glanced at Yang Qin, then said confidently, "I think the police will definitely not be able to find her biological parents. Instead of sending her to an orphanage, why not, Dad, let her stay with me! I like her very much!"

When Yang Qin heard this, her face instantly darkened. She slammed the table and said angrily, "Xie Yan, what are you talking about? Bringing a child of unknown origin home to raise, do you know what this means? You're only eight years old, can you support her? It's your father who will raise her! Besides, your mother won't agree!"

Xie Jianming stood up soon after, his eyes also filled with denial and rejection: "Yan Yan, your grandma is right. Bringing a baby girl home, especially such a young child, requires a lot of energy and time. Have you ever thought about it? How can your parents have the time and energy to take care of her?"

Xie Jianming's son, Xie Yan's eldest cousin, Xie Anyuan, gnawed on a chicken foot while mockingly saying, "What's the point of picking up a worthless little girl? Girls should be thrown into a cesspool the moment they're born!"

When Xie Yan heard Xie Anyuan's words, her face turned pale instantly.

She suddenly raised her head and stared at Xie Anyuan with a sharp gaze, her tone filled with anger and ridicule: "Xie Anyuan, what did you say? Girls should be thrown into the pit? Your son-in-law mentality is simply disgusting! You mean to throw me into the pit? Come and try it yourself?"

Xie Anyuan was startled by Xie Yan's sudden counterattack, and the chicken claw in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He stared at Xie Yan with wide eyes, unable to believe that this usually docile and well-behaved sister would suddenly become so tough and sharp.

"You... you little girl, what do you know?" Xie Anyuan stammered in retort, "Girls are just money-losing goods. When they grow up, they will marry into other families. What's the point?"

Xie Yan sneered and continued to mock mercilessly: "Oh? Then tell me, what's the point of having boys? Like you, who can't even graduate from junior high school and has to go out to work as a screwdriver in your teens? Don't forget, there are still many boys who grow up to be nothing and even become a burden to their families!"

Xie Anyuan was choked by Xie Yan's words and was speechless. His face flushed red and he stared at Xie Yan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Xie Yan, however, was not afraid at all. She straightened her back, looked at Xie Anyuan with a firm gaze, and continued, "Besides, this baby girl is innocent. She didn't choose her gender when she came into this world. Why do you despise her and abandon her just because she's a girl? To put it bluntly, you know very well whether she is from Xiangjiazhai or not! Maybe she is one of our relatives! Moreover, your act of killing the baby girl is simply outrageous to both humans and gods!"

Xie Jianming and Yang Qin looked at the dispute between Xie Yan and Xie Anyuan, with embarrassed and helpless expressions on their faces.

They knew that Xie Anyuan's words were indeed a bit too much, but they didn't expect Xie Yan to stand up so bravely to refute him.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Xie Jianhua finally broke the silence. "Yan Yan is right. We can't dislike or abandon a girl just because of her gender. Besides, whether or not to adopt her is our family's decision. Mom, you two are meddling too much."

Yang Qin shook her head, her tone filled with helplessness and anger. "Xie Yan, you are too naive. Do you think it's so easy to bring a child home? We have to consider her education, her life, her future... all of these require a lot of time and money. We are not a wealthy family, and we can't afford such a responsibility."

Xie Jianming also echoed: "Yes, Xie Yan, raising a child costs a lot of money!"

Xie Jianhua looked at his daughter's determined eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

He was proud of his daughter's kindness and courage, but also worried about the heavy burden this decision might place on the family.

He took a deep breath and tried to mediate in a calm tone: "I think it's good to have two daughters."

Xie Yan looked at her father gratefully, then continued, "I think it's great to have a younger sister."

She paused and continued, "Besides, I feel that this child and I are destined to be together. Ever since I picked her up, she has been smiling at me, and I feel that she likes me very much. I like her too, and I want to give her a warm home. I can take care of her and I can make money!"

After hearing what Xie Yan said, Yang Qin and Xie Jianming's expressions eased a little.

But they still shook their heads firmly, expressing their disagreement with the decision.

Yang Qin took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer. "Xie Yan, we know you're a kind child. But life isn't a fairy tale. What this child needs is a stable, secure family environment, not an uncertain future."

Xie Jianming also echoed: "Yes, Xie Yan. You can't be willful."

After saying that, Xie Jianming glanced at Xie Jianhua again and said, "Brother, we are firmly opposed to it anyway! If you want to adopt her, let's hold a family meeting! How about the minority obey the majority?"

After Xie Jianhua finished listening, he looked at Xie Yan in embarrassment. Xie Yan shook her head: "There's no need to hold a family meeting for our family affairs. We didn't spend anyone else's money."

Xie Yan lowered her head, clenched her fists, and muttered to herself: They don't agree, it's nothing more than they are afraid that Xie Jianhua will have two daughters, and financially he won't be able to continue to give them blood transfusions. They are not afraid that Xie Jianhua will adopt a baby girl, but they are afraid of losing blood.

After hearing what Xie Yan said, Yang Qin and Xie Jianming's expressions became resolute again.

They knew that if they allowed the child to stay, it would be difficult to send her away.

They couldn't let themselves get into this kind of predicament.

"No!" Yang Qin said firmly, "We must hold a family meeting. The whole family must agree on this."

Xie Jianming also nodded: "Let's have a meeting and everyone must agree!"

Xie Jianhua looked at his daughter's disappointed eyes and felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

He knew he had no ability to convince his mother and brother, but he also didn't want to see his daughter so disappointed.

He took a deep breath and tried to find a solution: "How about this, I'll go to work first and take care of these kids for a while."

After hearing what Xie Jianhua said, Yang Qin and Xie Jianming's expressions eased a little.

They knew that this was a compromise solution that could temporarily satisfy Xie Yan's sympathy without making everyone too embarrassed.
