Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

Zhang Jianguo was powerless to change people's perceptions. There were always people who believed in "victim blaming," thinking that women who were cheated or robbed must be immoral and too flamboyant to attract the attention of bad people. Otherwise, why would they target you?

He had no choice but to respect their choice. The only thing he could do was to find the local village officials and women's directors and order them and the buyers to treat these women well. Otherwise, both the buyers and sellers would be criminals and would be arrested and imprisoned together. He hoped this would improve their situation a little.

In contrast, Mu Zhiyuan was incredibly fortunate. Seeing those pitiful children who had suffered so much, were emaciated, and even disabled, the Mu couple were extremely grateful to Tingnan.

Aunt Zheng from our hometown quit her job. She was too careless and trusted strangers so easily. They dare not take any risks now, so they've brought the grandfather and grandson to the city.

When Mu Zhiyuan saw that Song Tingnan had really brought White Rabbit candy, a bright smile appeared on his face. He happily rushed over, and the gloom of being kidnapped was dispelled a lot. He kept calling out "Sister, Sister!"

"Tingnan, let me discuss this with you. You see how much Yuan'er likes you, and he's our only son. I wonder if we could accept you as our daughter? From now on, we'll be family, and you'll be Yuan'er's older sister. Is that alright?" Mu Xudong asked Tingnan thoughtfully.

"Well... Uncle Mu, I need to discuss this with my family. However, we're from the countryside, and our family situation isn't very good. I think you might need to reconsider." Hearing Nan speak frankly about her family's situation, she felt there was nothing to hide. Even her uncle might not agree, and now she had another "father"!

After hearing about her family situation, Mu Zhiyuan and Jiang Qianqian learned that she was an adopted daughter of the Song family and that she had been helping her family with errands at a young age. They felt both fondness and pity for Tingnan.

"Tingnan, it's alright. We also come from the countryside. If your elders could raise a child like you, they must be quite good."

"You can discuss it with them. If they agree, and the two sides have met, I'd like to hold a family reunion ceremony. If they don't agree, that's fine too. You're also my son Yuan'er's older sister, and we're on good terms." Mu Xudong didn't look down on people from the countryside. He himself had only come to the city in recent years because of better policies.

Therefore, Tingnan could no longer refuse and agreed to discuss it with his maternal uncle, Song Wanli.

Then she played games with Mu Zhiyuan, told him stories, and taught him to recognize words and numbers. The two got along well, and Yuan'er did not resist learning, which made Jiang Qianqian overjoyed. She had to recognize this daughter.

Learning through games left Mu Zhiyuan wanting more. Hearing that the school taught in the same way, the nearly 6-year-old agreed to enroll in first grade next semester, which inadvertently solved another big problem for Jiang Qianqian.

Mu Zhiyuan is very obedient now. When Sister Nan tells him to eat less, he controls his food intake and eats fewer delicious snacks. The little chubby foodie needs to lose weight so that his sister won't be able to carry him.

His older sister also said that when he was in second grade, she would come to the county town to attend junior high school, where she could teach him and play with him. Mu Zhiyuan made up his mind to study hard and not let his older sister Tingnan think he was stupid, because his sister had even decided to skip a grade so that she could come to the county town to be with him sooner.

With such a cool older sister, Mu Zhiyuan felt that being kidnapped this time was no big deal, since his sister saved him anyway.

Seeing the changes in her son, Jiang Qianqian was so grateful that tears welled up in her eyes. She had been worried that her son might have suffered some trauma and be left with a shadow in his heart. But now he's all better, completely fine, and even sensible and loves to study. It's all thanks to Tingnan.

So she urged her husband to act quickly.
