[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

After Qi Ye helped Wei Ying take off his outer clothes and fold them on the small stool by the bed, he obediently lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep. Then Wei Chaoyan put the sleeping Qingyan in his arms into the quilt between them. Looking at the three peaceful sleeping faces lying side by side on the bed, he felt that the most beautiful time was just like this.

Meanwhile, the netizens watching the live stream, regardless of age or gender, were captivated by this heartwarming scene, temporarily forgetting all their worries and quietly appreciating the tender warmth.

The fans of WangXian were even more excited when they saw the still-baby-smelling Wei Ying. Some even suddenly let out a deafening roar, startling a group of passersby with unpleasant expressions, or ran wildly in broad daylight with disheveled hair, shouting "The baby is so cute!" "So adorable, Wangji, I'm sorry, I want to take Grandma's little Wei Ying home!" It was truly unbearable to watch.

Regardless of how crazy the fans in China are, let's focus on the streamer Wei Chaoyan. After all, she is the main character. It would be a waste of our attention to the crazy and shameless fans and passersby.

Wait, it seems the streamer Wei Chaoyan is also getting ready for a nap. Doesn't that mean the live stream is going to go black and enter sleep mode again? Wait, streamer, no, don't be so cruel! Some overly silly netizens sadly dominated the screen, oh my god, while the rest of the netizens either went offline to do their own thing, or, if they were bored, continued to AFK in the live stream while using another communication device to watch dramas, chat, and browse videos, keeping themselves busy and happy.

Wei Chaoyan took a sweet afternoon nap while watching over her three younger brothers. After waking up, she stretched and lay on the bed for a long time, unwilling to move.

Seeing that the three on the bed had woken up one after another, Wei Chaoyan quickly got up, put on her outer clothes and shoes, and dressed Qingyan properly (Wei Ying and Qi Ye could dress themselves). After setting up the live broadcast room, she carried Qingyan and took the other two to the hidden cabinet in the study. She took out the household registration she had just completed, along with some money, locked the gate of the house, and left.

Before heading to the county government office, Wei Chaoyan took her younger brothers to the market to buy a lot of things as gifts. After buying them, the four of them walked towards the county government office with their hands full. In the open space opposite the county government office, Wei Chaoyan put down the gifts she was carrying and asked Wei Ying and Qi Ye to wait there for her, saying she would be right back.

Then, Wei Chaoyan, carrying Qingyan, walked towards one of the constables guarding the county government gate, the one she had met a few times before. She greeted him with a smile and then reminded him that she was the girl the old man had brought to the county government a few days ago to register a household. After the constable suddenly realized who she was, she obediently handed him a beautifully packaged box of pastries, saying sweetly that it was a gift for the elderly and children in the constable's family to sweeten their mouths, and that it was nothing too expensive.

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan was so cooperative, the constable was very pleased and asked her somewhat reservedly what business she had come to the county office. Wei Chaoyan quickly replied, "Sir, a few days ago my grandfather came here and mentioned to you that my father was on good terms with Constable Wei in the county office. Now that my father and mother have passed away, I should have come to tell Constable Wei this news sooner. But," Wei Chaoyan said with a sad and bitter smile, "there are many things to do at home, and the town is far away. As a young orphan, I am busy with my parents' funeral and have no time to spare. Now that everything at home is settled, I have come to visit as soon as possible. Because I am in mourning, I cannot come directly to disturb you. I can only trouble you, sir, to help me by delivering a message to Constable Wei, telling him that I have come to visit and asking him to come out and see me."

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan's words were sincere and reasonable, and that the matter entrusted to him was a trivial matter, the constable easily nodded in agreement.

Wei Chaoyan smiled gratefully and pointed to the open space where Wei Ying and the others were standing, indicating to the constable that she would wait for them there and would not stand in the main gate of the county government office and obstruct their work.

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan was so obedient and sensible, the constable said nothing more, simply told the other constables in his class, and went straight into the county government office to find her.

Wei Chaoyan carried Qingyan back to the open space where Wei Ying and Qi Ye were, and waited for them to come out. Not long after, the constable led out a tall, imposing man with a resolute and fierce face, who looked to be around thirty years old. The man, dressed in a black constable's uniform, strode towards them in the constable's direction.

When Wei Chaoyan saw the man arrive, he led his younger brothers toward him, but the man took very long strides and reached them in just a few steps.

As soon as he entered, he said to Wei Chaoyan with a heavy heart, "Is this my brother Wei's daughter, Yan'er? I am Wei Xun, a good friend of your father. I am a few years older than Zhu Zi, so you can call me Uncle."

“Hey, Uncle An, I am Father’s eldest daughter, Ayan,” she said, pointing to Wei Ying and Qi Ye beside her. “These are Father’s adopted sons, Aying and Qi Ye.” She then raised Qingyan in her arms and said, “This is Father’s youngest son, Qingyan.”

Officer Wei affectionately patted the heads of the four children one by one, his eyes red and his voice choked with emotion as he asked Wei Chaoyan, "How did Zhu Zi and his wife suddenly suffer such a calamity? We had a good get-together when they came to town half a year ago. How come we haven't heard from them for half a year? I was wondering if something had delayed Zhu Zi, and then I received this terrible news?"

Wei Chaoyan said dejectedly, "My father and mother were attacked by an evil spirit on their way back from town that time, and that's why they passed away (╥_╥)."

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan and the other children also had red eyes and tears welling up, Officer Wei quickly suppressed his grief and comforted them. He dared not let them cry anymore, thinking that these children had been crying for a long time recently. Crying too much would harm their health and exhaust their spirits, especially since they were all very young children.

Knowing Officer Wei's good intentions, Wei Chaoyan quickly suppressed her overwhelming grief and comforted Qi Ye and Wei Ying. Seeing that they had returned to normal, Officer Wei warmly invited them to visit his home. Wei Chaoyan quickly shook her head and declined, saying that she and her siblings were in mourning and it was best to avoid such situations, especially since Officer Wei also had elderly people and young children in his family.

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan's words made sense, Officer Wei had no choice but to regretfully give up. He said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. You know where your uncle's family lives, niece. Remember to visit often after the mourning period ends." As he spoke, Officer Wei slapped his forehead and asked, "Where are you staying in town now? Are you staying at an inn?"

Wei Chaoyan shook her head and said, "We're not staying in the village anymore. A few days ago, my grandfather helped me buy a house in town, right behind the county government office. I'll be living there with my younger brothers from now on."

“That’s great. Our two families live quite close by. If you need anything, just come to your uncle or aunt. If you’re in mourning and can’t come to my door, you can just call out from outside the yard. My yard isn’t big, so we’re sure to hear you.” Hearing this, Officer Wei was overjoyed and said, “Don’t refuse anymore. Now that Zhu Zi and his wife are gone, it’s only right that I, as your uncle, take care of you.”

“Niece Yan, do you have anything else to attend to? If not, I’ll head back to the county office to work. After I finish my duties tonight, I’ll take your aunt to your new house to see and familiarize her with it,” said Officer Wei.

Wei Chaoyan nodded, pointed at Wei Ying and said, "Uncle, my younger brother's household registration and travel permit haven't been processed yet. Could you help me get them done?" As she spoke, she handed the household registration book in her arms to Officer Wei.

"No problem, leave it to your uncle. I'll bring the household registration and travel permit to you tonight. You and the children should go back first. Although the sun is out, it's a bit windy and cold outside," Officer Wei replied readily.

"Okay, I'll take them back now. Oh, by the way, Uncle, these things on the ground are gifts I bought for your older brothers and sisters. Remember to keep them safe." After saying that, Wei Chaoyan didn't wait for Officer Wei to refuse, and she and the others ran off in a flash. Seeing that he couldn't catch this slippery girl, Officer Wei could only stare wide-eyed as he gathered up the things on the ground, stuffed them into his arms, and turned to walk back into the county office.
