Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1106 - 1108: I Want to Adopt Him

After the two of them went out, Xue Zhiyi didn’t speak and instead took Yang Ming to his room.

Yang Ming felt a bit apprehensive. What secret was there to say?

Could it be that the child has aftereffects? And not like what was said at the dining table?

As soon as he entered the room, Yang Ming anxiously asked, "Brother Xue, what exactly is the matter? Is the child’s poison not resolved yet? Or are there aftereffects?"

"The child is fine, and there won’t be any aftereffects, you can rest assured about that," Xue Zhiyi said.

"Then what is it?" Yang Ming asked, very puzzled.

Xue Zhiyi stood there, his expression becoming serious. This matter inevitably had to be talked about, so he said, "I wanted to say that the government office is looking for Little Liufu, you know that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming’s brow furrowed. Of course, they knew, otherwise they wouldn’t have rushed up the mountain. He nodded towards Xue Zhiyi.

Xue Zhiyi continued, "For the safety of Little Liufu, I want to adopt him and keep him on the mountain. What do you think?"

"No way." Yang Ming suddenly shouted loudly. This was absolutely impossible; his wife wouldn’t agree either.

Xue Zhiyi hadn’t expected Yang Ming to refuse so firmly without even thinking about it, so he advised, "Yang Ming, the government office says it’s to take the child to get rid of bad luck, but you should understand what’s really going on without me having to explain."

"You are an adult and need to be rational. If you take Little Liufu down the mountain, the government office will definitely find you. Not only will the child be taken away, but your whole family will be in danger of death. Is that what you want?"

Yang Ming understood what Xue Zhiyi was saying, but separating Little Liufu from his wife would devastate her.

They had invested so much in this child.

Seeing that Yang Ming was taking a long time to respond, Xue Zhiyi continued to persuade, "I know you can’t let go of this child, but think about it, you’ve put in so much, and the child has finally been saved. Do you still want to go and risk your lives? If he stays on the mountain, you can still see him in the future."

"The reason I’m telling you this alone is so you can persuade your wife. Right now, it’s important to save your lives."

Yang Ming stood there, feeling incredibly conflicted. He understood the logic, but he was still reluctant, let alone his wife.

He thought, since Xue Zhiyi had considered so much for them, he must have learned about the child’s identity. So he asked, "Brother Xue, do you know the child’s identity?"

In order to persuade Yang Ming to leave the child, Xue Zhiyi had to nod and admit, "Yes, but I can’t tell you. I can only say the child’s identity is not simple and will bring calamity to you. Leaving him on the mountain is the wise choice."

"..." So he really did know. Actually, Yang Ming had speculated about the child’s identity more than once, and he tried to ask what was on his mind, "Is he from inside?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyi’s eyes were stunned for a moment. How could Yang Ming, being so smart, not guess from all the hints?

Xue Zhiyi’s reaction confirmed Yang Ming’s thoughts. The matter was quite tricky, as he was just an ordinary person. How could he deal with those people?

He stood there, his face grim, and after a moment, he said, "Let me think this over again."

"Alright!" Xue Zhiyi didn’t push too hard. This kind of matter requires time to accept, no matter who it is.
