Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

Lin Chu sneered, "Mother, is it possible for my niece's own mother to collude with villains to kill the whole family? Is it possible for my fourth brother's wife to do such a thing?"

Old Mrs. Lin was speechless for a moment, while Old Mr. Lin sighed and said, "Daughter, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. How about we punish her privately?"

Lin Chu shook his head firmly, "No, if we forgive her easily this time, she will definitely cause trouble again in the future." Nalan Ming also chimed in, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, this matter is of great importance. It will be difficult to convince the public if we do not report it to the authorities."

Before Old Lady Lin could say anything more, Lin Silang spoke up, "Father, Mother, my younger sister is right. Qiuyue has committed such a grave mistake and must be punished accordingly."

Seeing that their son said this, Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin could only remain silent. Lin Chu looked at Dongxue and said, "Go and report to the authorities." Dongxue obeyed and left.

Soon after, officials arrived and took Qiuyue away.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the officials have undergone a major reshuffle. Qiuyue is colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty, so she is bound to suffer a bad end.

After everyone left, Lin Chu looked at the little niece in Lin Silang's arms and asked, "Fourth Brother, what are your plans for niece?"

My little niece is almost a year old now, and she really does look more and more like Lin Chu, with her round eyes darting around everywhere.

Lin Silang was taken aback by her question and didn't understand what she meant. Surely he couldn't just abandon his daughter after losing his wife.

Lin Chu glanced at Old Madam Lin, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Mother, Fourth Brother is still young. He will definitely have to get married and have children in the future. How about I give my little niece to him and raise her?"

The child is almost a year old and doesn't even have a name yet, which shows that Lin Silang, as the father, hasn't fulfilled his obligations at all.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Lin's eyes widened immediately. "Are you serious?"

Seeing her mother's reaction, Lin Chu knew there was hope. "Mother, I like this child, and I can take good care of her. Fourth Brother will have to get married in the future, and it will probably be difficult for him to marry with a child. Even if he can marry a new sister-in-law, he won't have much energy to devote to the child."

Lin Silang was stunned for a moment, "Little sister, this is still my daughter. Even if her mother is no good, I still..."

Lin Chu interrupted him, "Fourth Brother, don't worry. Even if the child stays with me, I will treat him well. You are a man, so you are definitely not as meticulous as I am."

Nalan Ming also said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, since A-Chu wants to do this, she must have thought it through carefully. I have no objection. Anyway, the child is still young. We can take her away and raise her as our own. She won't know."

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Old Lady Lin nodded and agreed on behalf of Lin Silang, "Alright, since Chuchu means well, let's do as she says."

Lin Silang wanted to object, but was stopped by a look from Old Madam Lin.

Seeing that things were settled, Lin Chu smiled and went to hug her little niece. The little girl seemed to sense something and clung tightly to Lin Silang's clothes. Lin Chu coaxed her gently, "Little darling, Auntie will treat you to all the good things in the future."

Although Lin Silang was reluctant, he glanced at his mother and knew that this was probably the best arrangement, so he could only let go helplessly.

Lin Chu carried the child back to her room, and Nalan Ming followed behind, teasingly saying, "With such a kind heart, my wife, our child will probably be spoiled rotten by you in the future."

Lin Chu rolled her eyes at him, then teased the child in her arms, saying, "Let's take her home tomorrow. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Nalan Ming nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Lin Chu and the others packed their things and prepared to go home.

This time, no matter how much Old Man Lin tried to persuade him to stay, Lin Chu did not soften his heart and got into the carriage with the child in his arms.

During this time, Grandma Lin stayed inside the house and did not come out.

The carriage moved slowly forward. Lin Chu gently lifted the curtain and looked back. She saw that the Lin family's house was getting smaller and smaller. Her little niece was in her arms, looking outside curiously and occasionally making babbling sounds.

Nalan Ming draped a cloak over Lin Chu's shoulders, saying, "My wife, don't catch a cold." Lin Chu nodded slightly, her gaze returning to her little niece.

After returning home, Lin Chu asked someone to prepare a room for the child. Since she had never given birth before, she asked Liu Qing to find a wet nurse. Actually, the child was almost a year old and didn't need to be breastfed, but she needed someone skilled in taking care of the child.

Liu Qing was also very helpful, and soon brought someone back from town.

The wet nurse, Wang, was twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her child had just turned one year old when she divorced her husband's family and was left without any money. Just when she was worried about whether to go back to her parents' home or what to do, Liu Qing came to her door and solved her problem.

Lin Chu did not take her anger out on anyone else because of Qiu Yue. She named her child Nian Qiu. Even if the child might have to recognize her as his mother in the future, Qiu Yue was still his biological mother after all.

When Wang came to visit, Lin Chu observed her for a while. Seeing that her fingers were neatly trimmed and her clothes were clean despite being nice, she was quite satisfied.

In addition, Xiao Nianqiu kept giggling as soon as she was held in Lin Chu's arms, so Lin Chu decided to keep her.

"Do you want a flexible contract or a fixed contract?"

A contract can be for short-term work or for a fixed term, while a contract is essentially selling oneself into slavery. To be honest, the latter is more reassuring to use.

Having been in this ancient world for so long, Lin Chu still didn't like treating people like commodities for trade, so she still asked the other party for their opinion.

I thought Wang would choose a contract with a fixed term, but who knew... "I want to sign a contract with no fixed term."

Wang bowed slightly, her tone confident and certain.

Lin Chu asked with some surprise, "Oh? Why? You should know that if you sign a death contract, you'll become a slave?"

Madam Wang curtsied slightly and said, “I know, I am doing this voluntarily. I have heard that only servants who have signed a life-or-death contract will be trusted by their masters. I have no ties now and nowhere to go. I see that you are a noble and reasonable lady, and I think you can do the same, so I am willing to serve my master wholeheartedly.”

After listening to Wang's words, Lin Chu felt somewhat emotional but could understand. However, he would still need to observe her carefully before deciding whether to give her an important position.

That night, Nianqiu shared a room with Wang, who took care of her.

But at night, Lin Chu couldn't sleep well and tossed and turned, waking Nalan Ming up. He said with a laugh, "If you're worried, go and check on him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu grinned. After Nalan Ming draped a thick coat over him, he went to see Xiao Nianqiu.

She made several trips back and forth and persisted for several days before she gradually calmed down.

As the days went by, Nianqiu grew up healthily under everyone's love. Lin Chu would take time every day to play with Nianqiu and teach her to read.

That day, Lin Chu was admiring the flowers in the backyard with Nian Qiu when a servant came to report that someone from the Lin family had arrived. Lin Chu frowned slightly, wondering what had happened to the Lin family this time.

The person who came was Lin Silang. When he saw Lin Chu, he looked guilty.
