Chapter 2 Fifth Brother pleads for mercy

"Whose child is this?"

When he walked into the house, his wife Cui looked at him in surprise.

"Picked it up."

"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"

"Grave massacre."

Mrs. Cui's face suddenly changed color, "Did I say you have brain damage? What's wrong with you? Why did you pick up a child? Your children are going to starve to death. How will you survive if you open your mouth again? Hurry up.

Send it back!"

Qi Futian frowned and muttered, "How can you send a living child back..."

"If you don't send him back, how will you feed him? He might not be able to feed him, and he will starve to death in our house!"

After Mrs. Cui finished speaking, she snatched the child, hugged it and ran away.

Qi Futian stopped his wife, "Why are you so cruel? Will the child survive if you send him back?"

Ms. Cui stopped and said, "His dad! If I weren't cruel, the family wouldn't be able to open the pot. What do you think we can do to feed this child?"

After saying that, she looked at her several sallow-looking babies, and then at the thin and pitiful abandoned baby in her arms. She sighed and didn't move any further.

"Mom! Keep him! The little brother is so pitiful!" Their eldest son, 8-year-old Shuan Zhu, ran forward and hugged one of his mother's legs.

"Mom! I like him, please keep him!" The 6-year-old Tie Zhu, the second eldest son of the Qi family, also begged his mother.

"Mom! I like my little brother too." The third child, Tongzhu, was 4 years old. He grabbed his mother's lapel to prevent her from taking the child away.

"Mom...Mom..." The fourth and fifth children couldn't say enough. They begged their mother to keep their little brother with their eyes.

"嘤嘤......"

The baby in my arms cried.

Ms. Cui lowered her head and looked at the baby, who was also looking at her. Her little mouth curled up and down, and she shed tears in pairs. She was very pitiful.

Mrs. Cui's eyes were red, and she turned around and sat on the edge of the Kang.

In fact, she didn't want to send the child back to the mass grave. She also knew that the child would not survive if sent back. She just wanted to take the child to the village chief's house and ask the village chief to find a solution.

Mrs. Cui put the child she picked up on the kang.

After removing the shabby straw mat wrapping the child and opening the shabby quilt inside, Ms. Cui suddenly screamed.

"His father! He's a girl!"

"Really?" Qi Futian was stunned for a moment.

The child was malnourished and had sparse hair. He looked like he had shaved his head. Previously, everyone in the Qi family thought he was a boy.

"Oh! I didn't even give the child clothes to wear. This is because I don't want to let the baby live! Whose parents are so cruel." Mrs. Cui was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she quickly wrapped the child up. Then she found the old clothes that Lao Wu had worn when he was a child.

Put it on your child.

The Qi family was short of girls, so Cui gave birth to five children, all of which were boys. Cui almost died during childbirth when her fifth child was born, but she respected the doctor's advice and did not dare to have any more children.

Before, they had always hoped to have a daughter.

"This is the daughter God gave us!" Qi Futian looked at the little crying baby and his voice was a bit exaggerated. He hoped that his wife would keep this child because of this.

"Yes! The little one looks like a fairy!" Cui's eyes softened and she looked at the child carefully.

So handsome! He has long eyelashes, big eyes, and double eyelids with multiple layers.

Even though the child was malnourished and looked ugly, and even though the little guy's face was stained with tears, Ms. Cui could still tell that this was a beautiful baby.

"Mom! I like this little sister and I will take care of her." Shuan Zhu was worried that his mother would refuse to keep the little sister because she couldn't take care of her.

"Mom! I will eat less in the future." Tie Zhu was afraid that his mother would send his little sister away because there was not enough food.

"I will also eat less." Although Tongzhu is only four years old, he is very sensible.

"Okay! Ask your father to ask the village chief. If no one claims it, our family will keep it." Ms. Cui looked at her children and agreed.

"Ouch! That's great!" The Qi children's sallow and thin faces all showed bright smiles.

"I'm going to go to the village chief to register now and see if anyone can claim it! If no one claims it, we'll register the child's household registration."

Qi Futian glanced at his wife, and without waiting for her reply, he immediately stood up and opened the door and went straight to the village chief's house.

She was worried that her daughter-in-law would change her mind.

The little girl is so weak, and it’s hard to say whether she will survive if she is given away to others. She can’t be given away! Keep her at home! Although life at home is hard, no matter how hard it is, he will still be able to raise the girl.

He thought about it. There were immature green corns with heading in the Xigou field. He could break off a few ears and pound the rice grains into pulp to feed his children.

…

At this point, Qi Ke felt relieved.

She doesn't blame Mrs. Cui. It's normal for her family to live like this, to be so strapped and precarious, and to refuse adoption.

Despite facing such difficulties, didn't the Qi family finally take her in? For this, she was grateful.

She will repay them, she must repay them.

She felt that she still had the ability to repay them.

Because she is not an ordinary child, according to the convention, she should have passed through the space.

It's easy to do things if you have space. No matter what is stored in the space, it can be exchanged for money.

If you have money, it will be easier, you will be able to buy food, and you will not go hungry.

Of course, it would be better if the reserves are food!

…

Mrs. Cui boiled hot water, adjusted the water temperature and put it into a large basin used for laundry at home.

He sent the boys away, closed the windows and doors, and gave little Kexin some soap and a hot bath.

Then I found some old clothes for my child that Wu Zhu had worn when he was a child.

Seeing the baby who was clean and fresh, Ms. Cui couldn't help but kiss the baby on the forehead.

A warm voice said: "It smells so good! We are sweet babies, not smelly babies!"

"Chuck!" the little guy laughed out loud.

Mrs. Cui and Bao Bao pressed their heads together, "My dear! It's time to take a bath and feel comfortable, right?"

"Cluck...cluck!" The little guy couldn't stop laughing.

While smiling, he looked at Ms. Cui.

The laughter flowing from the bottom of her heart and her eyes as pure as spring water melted Cui's heart instantly.

Her eyes are moist!

Children are so easily satisfied! They become so happy just after taking a bath and putting on clothes!

She could imagine what kind of life the child had lived before.

He must be unpopular, no one cares about him, lack food and drink, and be looked down upon by others.

Are your parents dead? Or are your parents’ consciences eaten by dogs?

Alas! Poor child!

"Be good! Close your eyes and go to sleep! Mom is going to make food for the baby!" Ms. Cui covered the baby with a small quilt.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy immediately closed his eyes.

Ms. Cui looked at the child's closed eyes and eyelashes fluttering wildly, and said with a smile: "What an obedient baby. But if the baby doesn't want to sleep, mother will ask my brother to come over and play with you."

When the little guy heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Ms. Cui with a smile.

"Haha! Mom understands! You want to play with your brothers!"

Mrs. Cui turned back to the door and shouted: "Shuan Zhu! Shuan Zhu! Come here and look at your sister?"

"Come here!" Shuan Zhu opened the door, and behind him, Tie Zhu, Tong Zhu and others also crowded in, saying that they also wanted to take care of their sister.

"Haha! I all like my little sister! But you guys, Four Pillars and Five Pillars, are too young! You can't take care of my sister."

Mrs. Cui stepped forward and took the four and five children one by one and walked out.
