Gu Chonghua frowned. “That Jiang Xun is Mu Mu’s older cousin. Without Jiang Xun, Mu Mu and Jiang Jing probably would not have survived until now. From what I know of Jiang Yingqiu, she probably won’t abandon the two children.
“I think they’ll most probably adopt all of them!”
Wen Ruyu did not know what to say. “Then… then won’t they leave any of the children behind?”
The Mo family’s background was good. Jiang Yingqiu did not have much family resource and she was an ordinary peasant.
A family like that could not even exchange things for food on the black market. They could only depend on Mo Beihan’s salary and the few work points that Jiang Yingqiu could obtain in the brigade in exchange for food. How would they survive?
Their Gu family might be bad elements, but they had plenty of resources. When they really needed to, they could exchange them on the black market.
What would the Mo family do?
Gu Yunshen sat there without a word. Gu Yunshuang and Wen Ruyu were women and were especially affected. They were very depressed.
At that very moment, Jiang Yingqiu arrived, with Mo Beihan in tow.
When Gu Qingyao heard their voices, she came out to look, and the children all followed.
“Aunt Jiang, why are you here so early?”
When she saw that Gu Qingyao did not look at all displeased, Jiang Yingqiu was surprised at her attitude and also sincerely grateful to her. The child could still speak to her so calmly at a time like that. Her son certainly must not let a girl like that get away.
“Yao Yao! Aunt is here to discuss some matters with you. This… we have already verified Little Jing and Mu Mu’s identity. They… they are my grandsons. I… I cannot possibly abandon them. Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping are too young. I want to care for them for a couple of years. But don’t you worry! I… I won’t place the burden of all these children on Beihan. I know he cannot support so many children!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan: “…”
Jiang Yingqiu thought for a while and stated her position. “In-laws! Don’t worry that Yao Yao will suffer when she marries our Beihan. Rest assured that I won’t ask her to stay at home to take care of these children. The… the children will live here with me and I will raise them. Jiang Xun is already in his teens and can work. With our combined efforts, Beihan will only need to help us a little and we won’t starve to death.
“Yao Yao will only be seventeen after the new year. Even if she gets married, she will have to wait a year! By then, Jiang Xun will be a little older and in another two years, Jiang Ping and Chengrui will have grown up. After Yao Yao and Beihan marry, she can move to the city with Beihan. We won’t need her to remain at home.”
Gu Jinhang raised his brows. He was rather surprised. He had not expected Jiang Yingqiu to say all these.
He knew how much she had suffered when she was young. Now that she was old, she was in poor health and her son had finally succeeded so that she had a source of support. She had so many grandchildren and her older son was no longer around. She must certainly cherish these children even more because of that.
At that time, most people would feel that it was Mo Beihan’s duty to raise these children.
The fact that Jiang Yingqiu could make a statement like that showed how clear-headed she was.
Jiang Yingqiu bowed her head and said somewhat sadly, “I don’t need to tell you about the Mo family’s circumstances. It is not possible for me to raise these children without at least some support from Beihan.”
