Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 319 Adoption

Lin Luoxia fell silent for a long while before she slowly stood up from the ground. "Third sister-in-law, could it be that... you are really so cruel that you will watch Baozhu being bullied in the future and ignore her?"

After all, Baozhu is her niece, and Baozhu likes to stick to her. She should at least consider some affection.

Xu Manyue sighed, "Second sister-in-law, how can I take care of this kind of thing?"

"If you and second brother really separate in the future, and he finds Baozhu a stepmother, it would be inappropriate for me, as his sister-in-law, to interfere in their affairs."

"Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Whose sister-in-law would stretch her hands so far? She didn't believe that Lin Luoxia didn't know.

This guy is going crazy.

Lin Luoxia's eyes became even redder. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, strode over and held Xu Manyue's hand tightly.

"Third sister-in-law, I know this is difficult for you, but...but I really have no choice. What mother would have the heart to abandon her own child?"

"I don't ask for anything else from you. I only ask that you adopt Baozhu to you and Jingming. From now on, you just need to give her something to eat. I don't ask for anything else. I just want her to live well."

Xu Manyue was completely stunned by these words, but she quickly reacted and looked at the woman in front of her, "Second sister-in-law, you are not kidding, are you?"

adopt?

Did she hear it wrong, or was this the way this person thought?

It's not like she doesn't have children, so why does she need to adopt someone else's child? Even if she doesn't have children, she would rather live alone than raise someone else's child.

Lin Luoxia pulled her hand and shook her head quickly, "No, Third Sister-in-law, you heard it right. I want you and Jingming to adopt Baozhu. Only in this way will Baozhu not be bullied by her stepmother in the future."

"I have seen your and Jingming's character. I don't ask for anything else, just help me raise the child. Baozhu is a filial child. She will definitely remember your kindness to her and will repay you in the future."

Xu Manyue shook her hand away and her face turned completely cold.

"Second sister-in-law, I will pretend you never said that. Don't say it again in the future. I won't agree. Even if I agree, Jingming won't agree."

"You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

Although adoption is not common in their area, it is not uncommon.

Generally, people adopt children because they cannot have children of their own and there is no one to take care of them in their old age, so they choose to adopt one from among their brothers' children.

And they specifically choose children who are young and have not yet remembered to be adopted.

Shen Baozhu is almost ten years old and has deep feelings for Lin Luoxia. Who would go to the trouble of adopting a child like this?

Lin Luoxia gritted her teeth and was about to kneel down to Xu Manyue again, but this time Xu Manyue was prepared and directly avoided her kneeling.

She ran outside, holding her belly, and called out, "Mom, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law wanted to adopt Baozhu as a child for Jingming and me. I disagreed, so she knelt down in front of me."

For a moment, the shouts echoed in the Shen family's yard.

Mrs. Shen and the old lady lying on the bed in the house were both alarmed, and Mr. Shen, who had just returned home, was also stunned.

adopt?

What adoption? The third brother and his family have children.

The old lady's face turned ugly. "Big brother's wife, help me over. I want to see what that woman is planning."

Do you really think everyone is a fool?

Mrs. Shen also thought Lin Luoxia was crazy. She curled her lips and helped the old lady over.

Who would adopt someone else's child if they are good enough?

On the other side, Shen Lao Er also rushed over after hearing Xu Manyue's shout.

Lin Luoxia, who was in the house, never thought that Xu Manyue would actually shout this out loud and let the entire Shen family know.

After a brief panic, she quickly calmed down, lowered her eyes, and hid the emotions surging in her eyes.

Outside the house, Shen Lao Er strode up to Xu Manyue and frowned slightly, "Third sister-in-law, is your second sister-in-law in your room?"

Xu Manyue's face looked a little grim. She nodded and said, "Second brother, I don't know how you and Second Sister-in-law discussed this, but you are Baozhu's biological parents. You are still alive, and Jingming and I have a child. How can you adopt Baozhu?"

"You should discuss this matter with your second sister-in-law."

Shen Laoer's face turned red with anger and he felt extremely embarrassed.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Your second sister-in-law has been mentally unstable recently. Don't take it to heart. I'll ask her to apologize to you."

After saying that, Shen Lao Er strode into Xu Manyue's house. Just as he reached the door, Lin Luoxia came out.

At this time, Mrs. Shen came over, supporting the old lady.

When Shen Lao Er found that the old lady and the others had come over, he became even more angry about what Lin Luoxia had done. He pulled Lin Luoxia over, pushed her to the ground, and pointed at her viciously.

"What are you doing? Don't you think it's shameful enough? Baozhu is my daughter. I'm not even dead yet, and you're so cruel that you want to give my daughter to someone else."

"How can there be such a cruel and cold-blooded mother like you in this world? You don't deserve to be my daughter's mother at all."

"From today on, you are no longer my, Shen Jianyun's, wife. Get out of here and don't come to the Shen family again. I will find a stepmother to take care of Baozhu someday. Get out of here now."

The heavy snow that fell yesterday hasn't melted yet and there is still a thick layer of snow.

Lin Luoxia fell hard into the snow. Although it didn't hurt, the ice and snow melted and the cold snow water soaked her clothes. She felt as if she had fallen into icy water and was very cold.

Especially after hearing this, even her heart felt very cold.

It turns out that this is what happens when a man becomes heartless.

Lin Luoxia slowly got up from the ground and looked at the man in front of her. She couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean by embarrassing yourself?"

"We haven't even divorced yet, and you're already bringing this woman back to touch me, and you even want me to make room for her. Tell me, aren't you embarrassing yourself?"

Shen Lao Er's face darkened instantly. "This is all your fault. Whose daughter-in-law doesn't even want to give birth to a son? Whose daughter-in-law has murderous intentions towards her mother-in-law? Lin Luoxia, you brought this upon yourself."

"If you don't give me a son, and you don't respect my mother, there are plenty of people who are willing to give it to me."

"Pack your things quickly and leave so I can let Xiancao move in."

Lin Luoxia forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart, tears slightly blurring her eyes, "What good do you think you are? If you treat me well, how can I not give birth to a son for you?"

"What were you doing the night I had a difficult labor and gave birth to Baozhu? Do you have the nerve to tell me? I almost died, and this time I barely managed to give birth to my daughter."

"But what about you, your mother? None of you came to see the child. It was me...I gave the midwife some money and asked her to stay and take care of me for a few days. That's how I survived."

"Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
