Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“There are five children. It seems that they are looking for an adoptive family. I wonder who in the village is willing to adopt them.”
“Wang Laosi’s family would sure want to adopt children. His wife can’t get pregnant. If he doesn’t adopt one, how would there be descendants send him off in the future?” Wang Laosi and his wife were considered rare outsiders in Xingshui Village. They had no other relatives and did not even have a child to adopt. That was why Madam Lin said that they would adopt. If it were any other family, she would never say such a thing.
Old Madam Zheng heard this and put her hands on her waist. “Isn’t that so? If you guys are free, you can go and inform Wang Laosi.”
“Ziluo, why are you here?”
Chu Ziluo was planning to go to the school to pick up her brother. On her way there, she came over to watch the show.
She turned around when she heard the voice. It was Second Aunt Wang.
“Second Aunt, I’m going to pick up my brother.” Chu Ziluo knew that her second uncle’s family had land here, so she was not surprised to see Madam Wang. She explained obediently. “Second Aunt, I’ll go over first.”
Madam Wang was not worried about Chu Ziluo when she saw that she was accompanied by a servant girl named Nenya.
“Why don’t you come and play with your Sister Qingyu?”
“I’m accompanying Sister Qingxiang to do needlework for the next two days. Would Sister Qingyu be willing to come?” Chu Ziluo knew that Chu Qingyu disliked needlework the most. That was why she had said that. Besides, she did not get along that well with Chu Qingyu.
Every time Sister Qingyu met her, she would ask her about the silk flowers on her head. These silk flowers were bought by her mother, her younger brother, and her father. She rarely chose them herself.
After telling the truth, Sister Qingyu said that she was envious and wanted to have parents who were willing to buy her silk flowers.
She did not want to continue the conversation.
Unexpectedly, when Madam Wang heard this, she really nodded and agreed. “Alright, we’ll ask your Sister Qingyu first. We can go to the old residence together tomorrow. ”
Madam Wang’s thoughts were simple. If her daughter did not like to do needlework, then she could just follow and watch. Other girls were doing it, so how could she continue to resist?
Moreover, she heard that Qingxiang’s wedding date had been brought forward. She also wanted to find out how much her third sister-in-law wanted to give as a gift.
Chu Ziluo was a sensible child. Even though she did not really like her cousin’s personality, she could only nod helplessly since the elders had already said so.
After speaking to Madam Wang, Chu Ziluo hurried to the school.
She was afraid that if she was a step slower, she would be stopped by the other relatives. After all, she had promised her Second Aunt. It seemed inappropriate not to promise the other relatives.
Some women who was related to the Chu family by marriage felt a little regretful when they saw Chu Ziluo leave.
They had planned to wait for Madam Wang to finish speaking before they talked to Chu Ziluo. Who knew that the child would run away so quickly? Chu Ziluo, who had escaped, soon arrived at the school gate, panting heavily.
An excited voice came from the door.
“You are… Zhongjin?” Teacher Lin looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him who had shaved his hair. He was shocked at first, but then he felt relieved and glad. “It’s good that you’re back.”
“Master Sanhai, sorry for the trouble.” Teacher Lin cupped his hands towards Sanhai.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved at the youth called Zhongjin. The youth looked to be only ten years old. His face was calm and there was not much expression on his face. He was extremely calm, as if nothing could make
mm waver.
“Uncle.” The young man cupped his hands and greeted him. Even when he bowed, he did not show too much emotion.
Teacher Lin was very excited. He rushed forward and hugged Zhongjin. “It’s good that my nephew is back. I thought I would never see you again..”
