MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family-Chapter 59 Asking for adoption

Chapter 59 Asking for Adoption

The third grandma has only raised one daughter in her life. Because she fled famine, she was separated from her daughter's family. She couldn't see those people treating their daughter like this.

Third Grandpa said: "Some elderly people among the victims have already gone to find the families of those girls. The results will be announced tonight. We won't let those families really leave their children here."

Mrs. Chen was waiting to eat with a wooden bowl. When she heard the third grandfather's words, she immediately told what she had heard: "I heard that there was a girl whose parents had already dragged her family away. The family's surname was Ma. It is said that we ran out of food and could not afford to feed her, so we did not take the girl back."

Mrs. Chen snorted: "How can there be no food here? It must be because of fear of embarrassment!"

　　We are all victims of famine. Who has food? Other girls' families still took the girl back, but this family not only refused to take her back, but when they heard about it, they immediately packed up their things and ran away.

When the third grandma heard this, she burst into tears: "What a sin."

There is water in the mountains. If there is no food, you can drink water to satisfy your hunger. How can you bear to abandon the girl like this?

Third Grandpa didn’t want to talk more about this matter, so he urged Third Grandma: “Stop talking, it’s getting dark, hurry up and see if the beans are ripe? Everyone is hungry.”

Because of what happened to Sister Liu and her group, the victims were not able to rest last night, so they did not rush on their way today, but continued to stay in this mountainous area to rest.

The third grandma moved her mouth a few times, then swallowed what she wanted to say. She stirred the bean soup in the pot with a wooden spoon, scooped out a few beans, and crushed them with her hands. The swollen beans were crushed into pieces.

 “The beans are ripe, let’s start the meal.”

Mrs. Chen immediately rushed to the front with a wooden bowl, trying to grab the spoon from the third grandma's hand and serve herself the bean soup and as many beans as she could.

The third grandma raised the wooden spoon in her hand, avoided Mrs. Chen's hand, and cursed: "Mrs. Chen, behave yourself. If you make trouble again, you will be hungry tonight."

  Grain is bought by several families who pool their money together, and there is a fixed amount for each person. It is very annoying that Mr. Chen wants to take advantage every time he has a meal.

Mrs. Chen was thick-skinned. When she was scolded, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. Look at my eye sockets, which are so hungry that they are sunken. Please put more beans in it. I want to replenish it." repair."

The third grandma was too lazy to talk to her and served her a bowl of bean soup.

Ms. Chen curled her lips, muttered something about how few beans there were, and walked away with the bowl in hand.

Hearing what the third grandmother said, several families took wooden bowls or cut bamboo tubes and started queuing up to receive the bean soup.

After Gu Jinli’s family received the bean soup, the six members of the family sat together and drank the bean soup in small sips from the bowl.

Gu Dashan was afraid that the children would not have enough to eat, so he wanted to pour a little bit of the bean soup from his bowl into the bowls of the four children, but Gu Jinan avoided it and said: "Dad, you don't even have enough to eat, so stop looking after us. "

This wooden bowl is not big. Dad is an adult and has a big appetite. If I give them a little more, what else will he eat?

When Gu Dashan heard what he said, he lowered his head and said, "It's because dad is useless and didn't take good care of you."

He blamed himself very much for what happened last night. If Xiaoyu hadn't been clever, Sister Xiu's life would have been ruined.

 Gu Dashan felt that he was useless and had to rely on his younger daughter to save his eldest daughter at the critical moment, so he wanted to share some of his food with them as a way of taking care of them.

 Gu Jinli saw Gu Dashan's thoughts and handed his wooden bowl to Gu Dashan: "Dad, I'm too hungry today. Please give me some bean soup."

When Gu Dashan heard this, a smile appeared on his bitter face, and he quickly poured the bean soup from his bowl into Gu Jinli's bowl, filling her wooden bowl so full that it almost overflowed.

 Gu Jinxiu is a delicate and sensitive person. Seeing this, he also handed the wooden bowl to Gu Dashan: "Dad, give me some too."

Gu Dashan smiled even deeper and poured some more bean soup into Gu Jinxiu's bowl.

Gu Jinxiu held the wooden bowl but didn't eat. She was silent for a while and said to Gu Dashan, "Dad, I'm fine. I'm fine." Gu Dashan's eyes were red and he said, "Our sister Xiu'er and Xiao Yu are both good girls. , is a lucky person, and will be fine in this life."

Ms. Cui shed tears when she saw it. After she heard what happened to those girls, she was afraid for the whole day.

 Brother Cheng saw Cui crying and raised his hand to wipe her tears: "Mom, don't cry. Brother Cheng will grow up and will protect the eldest and second sisters in the future."

Ms. Cui smiled, hugged Brother Cheng, and said, "Brother Cheng is so good. Drink the bean soup quickly. It will become fishy when it is cold." The beans had a beany smell as soon as they were cold, which was not very delicious.

 “Well, I listen to my mother.” Brother Cheng held a wooden bowl and drank bean soup.

Mrs. Cui was afraid that Gu Dashan wouldn't be full, so she wanted to pour some of the bean soup in her bowl to him, but Gu Dashan didn't want it: "You eat yours, I have enough."

Ms. Cui has never had a good life since she followed him. Now she is so thin that she is out of shape. How can he bear to eat food from her bowl again?

Ms. Cui tried to pour it twice more, but was blocked by Gu Dashan, so she had to eat it herself.

After they finished eating the bean soup, Zhou Laolin walked through the night to their resting place and told them about the ten girls: "The four girls who were first abducted became stepmothers for the widowers among the victims. room."

 Along the way to escape the famine, many men among the victims became singles and married abducted girls as step wives, which was not a loss.

"Of the four girls who were given to Sister Liu by her parents, three were taken back. The family of the remaining one had already run away and could not be found. However, the girl was stubborn and did not want to be the widower's stepmother. He said that he would follow the victims and wait until they reach the south before making any plans."

Third Grandpa frowned: "She is a girl. She is not looking for anyone to marry at this time. She will follow the victims alone. Something will happen on the way."

 Don't think that the victims of the disaster who killed Sister Liu and the others are all good people. There are many bad people among the victims. If a single girl follows the victims, she will be eaten to the bone.

Mr. Lin said: "Everyone told her this and advised her, but she didn't listen. She said she would not be a stepmother to a widower or a stepmother."

“What about the two remaining girls who are despised by their families?” Ms. Chen was the most gossipy and couldn’t help but ask.

I am disliked by my family. This one is more interesting. I don’t know how to pull it off? Did the girl take it back?

Mr. Lin smiled with joy on his face: "After we took them back, the old brothers among the victims and a few village chiefs personally found the families of the two girls and had a good talk with them. I gave them some grain and money found in the cave, and the parents of the two families took the girl back after receiving the money and grain."

 Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this. He only accepted the girl after giving her money and food. Then after the money and food were gone, should he abandon the girl again?

Don't blame her for thinking so. The parents of those two girls have already despised them from the bottom of their hearts and are very likely to abandon them again.

After Zhou Lao and Lin Lao finished talking about the matter, they chatted a few more words with Third Grandpa and Qin Lao, got up and left, and returned to their resting place.

 After they left, the third grandfather arranged the manpower for the night watch, and several families began to rest.

 The next day, the victims woke up early, started packing their things, and continued on their way.

On the road, I saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a sack and walking alone.

Ms. Chen was well-informed and told them that night that the girl was the one abandoned by her family, named Ma Cuilan.

After listening to the gossip relayed by Chen, several families became curious about Ma Cuilan for a while, and then stopped paying attention to her. After all, they don't know Ma Cuilan, so there won't be any intersection.

But within a few days, Ma Cuilan was holding the sack and kneeling in front of the third grandma, begging her to adopt her.
