Mrs. Xiao Li felt very wronged.
She really didn’t think she did anything wrong. Back in the day, she was raised the same way.
Compared to her days at her parents’ house, Yuan Bao was already much better off.
"She’s not even two years old, with such a big temper. If it’s not corrected, what are we going to do in the future?"
"I’m her mother; how could I harm her?"
Mrs. Xiao Li started crying while talking.
"Brother, uh, you all are busy, so I’ll just head back first!"
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Jiang Zhengqin promptly excused himself and left. Check latest chapters at novel_fіre.net
Old Yuan barely managed a smile and saw Jiang Zhengqin out.
When Old Yuan came back, he looked at Mrs. Xiao Li, who was still in tears, and said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense."
"You have your reasons, and we have ours!"
"How about this, when we find Jiaojiao, she will live with us, the old couple, and Xiao Wu."
"In the future, when Xiao Wu has a family of his own, Jiaojiao will stay with us old folks!"
"When she gets married, you won’t have to worry about it, we old folks will take care of it!"
"If we don’t live long enough to see her get married, then Xiao Wu will handle it!"
"Xiao Wu, do you have anything to say?"
Old Yuan no longer cared what Mrs. Xiao Li thought and made the decision straightforwardly.
As for Yuan Yindi, whom Old Yuan asked, naturally, she had nothing to say.
"Dad, why not adopt Jiaojiao into my name?"
Yuan Yindi accepted her father’s arrangement with a smile and even proposed a method to solve the problem once and for all.
When the Yuan Family left Yuan Bao alone at home, Yuan Yindi witnessed how extraordinary this niece was. With such a daughter, he felt that even if he didn’t marry, he wouldn’t have to worry about being cared for in old age.
Old Yuan was taken aback by Yuan Yindi’s words, but the next moment, his eyes lit up, thinking this idea might be even better than his own.
"Fourth, and you, Fourth daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
After a brief consideration, Old Yuan looked toward Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li.
"Dad, this isn’t appropriate!"
Yuan Zhaodi was somewhat unhappy.
Now that he had a son and a daughter, they formed a perfect pair. If they were to adopt one out, wouldn’t that break up the ideal situation?
"What’s inappropriate about it?"
"Since you two feel daughters should be raised cheaply, then just don’t raise her!"
"Fourth daughter-in-law, what do you say?"
Recalling that Yuan Zhaodi couldn’t even manage a household, Old Yuan directly turned to Mrs. Xiao Li.
Mrs. Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, "Dad, if Jiao Jiao is to be adopted by Fifth Brother, that’s fine too!"
Hearing his wife’s words, Yuan Zhaodi was anxious.
However, Mrs. Xiao Li ignored him and continued to look at Old Yuan, saying, "Once the adoption papers are signed, anything that happens with the girl will have nothing to do with us!"
"Okay, I’ll decide on this!"
"The adoption papers will detail everything clearly!"
Old Yuan immediately turned to his youngest son and said, "Xiao Wu, go write the adoption papers, write it clearly, and let’s settle this matter!"
Just as Old Yuan asked Yuan Yindi to write the papers, Mrs. Li, wife of Yuan Pandi, suddenly spoke up.
"Dad, Mom, there’s something we need to address as well!"
Mrs. Li stood there earnestly and said, "When Jiaojiao was born, we gave her a grand gift. If Jiaojiao is adopted by Xiao Wu, what happens to the kindness we gave?"
