Tian Dajiang sat dejectedly to one side, "We’ll only be able to drink rice soup from now on; we don’t have the ans."
"Dajiang, why don’t we ask them again and return the third girl to them? They’re about to be discharged."
"No more giving her away, we’ll raise her ourselves."
"Dajiang, we can’t keep her alive; rice soup can’t sustain a baby."
Tian Dajiang hugged his head, sitting there.
Jiang Xinyu had heard their conversation but did not respond. The formula was left on the table, intending to give it to them when she left. She couldn’t bear to see such a small child suffer.
Liu Guilan turned to look at Jiang Xinyu, "Comrade, you should take the child; staying with will only bring her suffering."
"We’re leaving soon, so the formula is for you."
"Comrade, leaving the formula, how many days can it last? The child will still starve afterward.
As a mother yourself, you can’t bear to see this newborn suffer, can you? I’m begging you, please take the child."
Liu Guilan burst into tears after speaking.
Jiang Xinyu understood her; no one wants to give away their child. But with their indecision, she really feared future troubles.
Liu Guilan watched Jiang Xinyu not respond. Crying, she said, "Comrade, don’t worry, I will never appear before the child in my life. I won’t disturb you."
"I don’t trust you. What if you co back when your life improves or the child has a better life?"
"I swear, I won’t, absolutely won’t. I’ll pretend I never gave birth to this child.
Comrade, please raise her; this way she has a chance to live. I really can’t take care of her."
Wei Kaiyun entered with a furrowed brow, wondering what had happened this ti. He truly couldn’t stand won crying so much.
Tian Dajiang knew Wei Kaiyun had co in, so he stood up too, "Comrade, better you raise the child, we can’t keep her alive, she’s a life. We gave birth to her, but can’t nurture her; it’s our incompetence.
Also, rest assured, we don’t know your nas, and we promise not to seek out the child. Regardless of what happens later, we won’t disturb her life."
Wei Kaiyun looked at his wife, waiting for her decision. He was reluctant, but he knew his wife was soft-hearted.
Jiang Xinyu held her son, looking at his small face.
"Alright, we’ll take her, but let’s do the paperwork properly. We’ll give fifty yuan, and if you ever hit rock bottom, don’t disturb her life."
Jiang Xinyu only said this, as she planned to tell the child the truth when she grew up. If she wished to acknowledge her biological parents, she wouldn’t object.
However, these conditions must be stated upfront, lest they bring trouble to themselves and the child.
"Comrade, don’t worry, we certainly won’t bother her, even if we’re desperate. From now on, we’ll treat it as if we never had this child," Tian Dajiang said firmly.
Wei Kaiyun knew his wife would definitely agree.
He pulled out the agreent written by the police officer and handed it to his wife to sign, then passed it to Tian Dajiang.
Liu Guilan also signed and pressed her fingerprint. The adoption was thus confird.
Wei Kaiyun handed fifty yuan to Tian Dajiang, picked up the child, and followed his bundled-up wife out of the ward.
Liu Guilan wanted to chase them, but Tian Dajiang stopped her, "What are you doing? From this mont, that child is already dead."
Liu Guilan sobbed; that was her own flesh after all.
"Alright, don’t cry anymore. Let the doctor check, if your body is fine, go ho and recover."
After getting in the car, Jiang Xinyu placed her son beside her, taking the child from Wei Kaiyun’s arms.
"Jiang Tingting, you’ll be Jiang Tingting from now on."
Wei Kaiyun shook his head with a smile and sat in the driver’s seat.
"We’ll tell outsiders we had twins. When Old Han visits, he can register the two children’s household in the Capital."
"I’ll call Old Han right now."
"No rush, let’s wait until he cos."
In front of Jiang Xinyu, Wei Kaiyun was obediently compliant, never refuting whatever she said.
The car started, Jiang Xinyu holding a child in each arm, with Wei Kaiyun driving slowly.
"Dear, I’ll find Old Yang when we’re ho."
"Alright, Sister-in-law Liu is at ho, do what you need to."
"Who knows where that woman escaped to? I didn’t even react yesterday. They said there were five n, so she must have fled."
"You know the general direction, finding her doesn’t matter much anymore."
"Darling, when I’m vindicated, I’ll approach the authorities."
"Hmm, we’re quite safe here. Don’t worry about us."
"Dear, don’t you think I’m being opportunistic?"
"Haha, everyone’s doing the sa; if better opportunities are available, who wouldn’t take them? What’s opportunistic about that?"
"Haha, my wife is so open-minded."
"Stop it, don’t sweet-talk ."
Wei Kaiyun drove slowly, fearing his wife and children would feel uncomfortable.
It was not until 10:30 that they entered the village.
Children were running wildly in the village, chasing after the car.
Sister-in-law Liu was cooking and heard the car, promptly rushing out.
The gate opened, and Wei Kaiyun drove directly into the yard.
The three children rushed out, and Wei Kaiyun got off the car, smiling broadly.
"Dad."
"Dad."
"Darlings, your mom’s behind."
Jiang Xinyu dressed properly, handed her son to Wei Kaiyun at the car door, and then gave the other child to Sister-in-law Liu before getting off.
The two children imdiately ran to their mom’s side.
"Mom, are you okay?" Jiang Feifei asked worriedly.
"I’m fine, really. Let’s go inside."
The whole family went inside, Shang Zhenkun also ca in, seeing they were carrying two children.
Sister-in-law Liu set the child down and quickly went to the kitchen; she wasn’t prepared because she didn’t know they were coming back today, so she had to start making soup right away.
"Mom, why two children, did you give birth to both?" Jiang Feifei asked excitedly from the heated bed.
"No, I gave birth to your brother, and the little girl is adopted.
You three don’t tell anyone, just keep it to yourself that I gave birth to twins."
The three children nodded imdiately. Adopted or not, she was their sister.
"Mom, wasn’t the baby in your belly a sister?"
"No, you guys always said it was a sister, so I thought it was a girl too, but it turned out I had a boy, your brother."
"A brother is good too," said Shi Jing with a smile, "we can play with him."
