Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Adopting Wuniu
It seemed that as long as Xia Chuyi was fearless and determined, she could turn everything around.
âChuyi, whatâs wrong with you?â Seeing her looking somewhat distressed, Du Hong quickly expressed her concern.
Xia Chuyi hastily shook her head and said, âSister Hong, Iâm fine.â
She was just feeling momentarily emotional.
She paused for a moment to organize her thoughts, then said, âSister Hong, I wonât lie to you. When I was with the traffickers, I heard them say that these two kids were sold by their family members.â
âWhat?â Du Hong was immediately shocked upon hearing this, âTheir family members sold them?â
The incredibly child-loving Du Hong found it hard to believe that such a thing could happen.
Xia Chuyi then let go of Wuniu and asked her, âWuniu, could you tell us how you ended up with the traffickers?â
Wuniu lowered her head and said, âMy mom and dad told me to go with them.â
That simple sentence was enough to make it clear that she had been directly sold by her family.
Du Hongâs chest heaved with fury and disbelief: âHow could there be such parents?â
Why would there be such parents? Because of Wuniu, Wuniu is a girl, and sheâs the fifth child. Clearly, they wanted a son.
âAnd this child?â Du Hong pointed at the other child and asked.
âSilly, SillyâŠâ Sister Hong, what do you think? Every childâs name carries their parentsâ endless and beautiful wishes.
Wuniu and Silly bore the opposite on their shoulders.
Du Hong gritted her teeth: âBut, but⊠under such circumstances, if we donât send them back home, what should we do? The police will definitely want to send the children back to their families!â
Suddenly, Yuan Liangang picked up the conversation and said, âActually, itâs possible not to send them back home.â
He continued, âDeputy Ouâs family has been supporting an orphanage in Capital City. Iâll talk to Deputy Ou and send them there.â
âOrphanage?â Xia Chuyi was stunned.
âYes,â Yuan Liangang nodded and said, âEver since Deputy Ouâs sister was abducted by traffickers, the Ou Family has been dedicated to combating traffickers and rescuing abducted children.â
âSome children, when found, are returned to their parents. For those who truly canât be found, the Ou Family sends them to the orphanage to be properly cared for.â
At this point, Yuan Liangang suddenly let out a deep sigh and said, âAfter all, most parents are good.â
After hearing Yuan Liangangâs words, Xia Chuyi thought carefully.
Sending them to an orphanage seemed like a good solution, but⊠she didnât really want to send Wuniu there.
In this era, the environment wasnât very friendly to girls. In her past life, she helplessly watched a vibrant life fade away. In this life, she didnât want to have that regret again.
âBrother-in-law, can I, can I adopt Wuniu?â she suddenly asked Yuan Liangang.
âWhat?â Yuan Liangang and Du Hong exclaimed in unison, clearly astonished.
And Wuniu, who was being held by her, looked up at her, incredulously.
âI want to adopt Wuniu,â Xia Chuyi calmly repeated her words to Du Hong and Yuan Liangang.
âThisâŠâ Yuan Liangang was suddenly at a loss. âActually, you donât have to do this. The Ou Familyâs orphanage is very good to the children.â
His implication was clear: if she was worried about the orphanage treating the child poorly, she neednât be.
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, âThatâs not what I mean.â
After some thought, she said to Yuan Liangang, âBrother Yuan, could you arrange for me to meet with Chief Ou?â
âI would like to see him.â
