Soon, Brother Yun came over with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Boss, you all know about Zirui's situation. Your mother and I have discussed it and decided to adopt him. Do you have any objections?"

After saying this, Butcher Yun and Zhang turned to look at the Yun brothers and sisters. The three Yun brothers and Yun Yiyi all shook their heads calmly, their faces showing expressions of "as expected".

"Dad, Mom, we have already discussed this topic on the way here, and we all have no objection. You and Mom can decide." Boss Yun stepped forward and said.

Xie Zirui stood by and looked at the smiling Yun brothers and sisters, and was very moved. He felt that he had not made a mistake in choosing them.

"That's good, Zirui will be our child from now on. You older brothers must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters and not bully them." Yun the Butcher started his daily lecture again.

Brother Yun listened to what Butcher Yun said seriously.

Second Brother Yun listened with a serious expression.

The third brother Yun next to him rolled his eyes. Who can bully a younger sister? It's good enough that a younger sister doesn't bully a brother.

Yun Yiyi had an expression of approval on her face.

Xie Zirui looked at the Yun brothers and sisters with a bewildered look on his face, thinking that when there are so many brothers and sisters, they will surely fight.

Butcher Yun and Zhang also noticed the child's reaction, but it didn't matter. They still had to give him a lecture, and they had to give him a shot of prevention in advance. Raising a child was like that; you had to nag him from time to time.

"Also, I want to emphasize something about Zirui's background. Zirui is the child of your second aunt's younger brother. He is the second child and is seven years old. He has an older brother who is ten years old."

"Zirui's family owned a shop in town and was relatively well-off. When Zirui and his family fled famine, refugees stole their food, and Zirui and his grandmother became separated from the rest of the family."

"Later, Zirui and his grandmother fled the famine together. You all know what happened afterwards. Just tell the truth. Do you all remember it?" Butcher Yun looked at the Yun brothers and sisters.

"I remember, Dad." Yun Yiyi was the first to answer.

"Dad, I remember it too." The second person to answer was Third Brother Yun.

"Dad, is Zirui really our relative?" Third Brother Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, the Yun brothers and sisters all looked at Yun the Butcher and Zhang.

Yun the Butcher saw the child's questioning look and felt it necessary to explain.

"He's definitely not our relative. Silly children, we adopted Zirui, so he must have a legitimate identity."

"Dad, why do I need a legitimate identity?" Brother Yun San continued to ask questions.

"Hey, Third Brother, use your brain and think about it. If we don't say that Zirui is our relative, and the villagers ask why we adopted Zirui, how will you answer?"

"Are you saying that we have enough food to feed one more person? Isn't that telling others that we have plenty of food? If everyone comes to borrow food in the future, will you lend it to them or not?"

"If you lend it to me, I won't even have enough to eat in the future. If you don't lend it to me, the villagers will definitely say that I support outsiders but am unwilling to help my own people."

"Third brother, do you understand what I mean?" Yun the butcher said with a look of disappointment.

"Dad, I understand. I just didn't think too much about it at the moment." Third Brother Yun answered embarrassedly.

"Okay, boss. The third brother has already understood. Don't scold him anymore." Zhang hurriedly pulled Yun the butcher's clothes, asking him to stop talking.

"So, even if Zirui is not our relative, in order to prevent others from gossiping, we have to say that Zirui is our relative. Besides, Zirui is now one of our family members."

"Your father and I have discussed that after we settle down, we will have the elders record Zirui's name in the family tree." Zhang said seriously.

"I understand, Mom." Brother Yun San was the first to answer.

The others also nodded.

"Zirui, Yiyi, come with me to find the village chief."

"Wife, take the boss and the others back to get busy. We will be back soon." said Yun the Butcher.

"Okay, then you should go quickly and come back soon. In a while, you should send the two children back first, and go to the city gate to inquire about the news by yourself. Don't bring the children with you. I am a little worried." Zhang instructed.

"Okay, let them come back soon." After saying that, Yun the Butcher took Xie Zirui and Yun Yiyi to find the village chief.

Zhang took the three Yun brothers back home to continue taking care of household chores.

Yun the Butcher and his companions soon arrived at the village chief's house. When the village chief saw Yun the Butcher coming, he pointed to the side and asked him to sit down and talk.

The village chief is not young anymore. He has been driving all day and taking care of the village affairs. He is busy and tired. So he just finished his meal and sat down to rest for a while.

"Village Chief, I came here to tell you something. Village Chief, this child is Xie Zirui, the child of my wife's sister-in-law's younger brother.

"Zi Rui, call the village chief uncle."

"Hello, village chief uncle, my name is Xie Zirui." Xie Zirui stood up and called out obediently.

"Good boy, sit down and talk." The village chief waved his hand to let Xie Zirui sit down, and looked at Yun the butcher in confusion.

"Village Chief, this is what happened. When Zirui's family fled the famine, they were targeted by refugees and their food was stolen. Zirui and his grandmother were separated from the rest of the family."

"Later, Grandma Zirui and Zirui struggled to escape the famine. The day before yesterday, they finally made it to the square in front. Grandma Zirui overheard some men talking about kidnapping Zirui and selling him for money."

"Grandma Zirui took advantage of the men's downtime to escape. Unexpectedly, the man on guard spotted them and chased them."

"What's next? Go on." The village chief urged anxiously.

"Later, the man caught up with Zirui and his grandmother. In order to protect Zirui, his grandmother was injured by the man with a knife. However, they also killed the bad guy."

"Later, Zirui and his grandmother fled to the mountains. Unexpectedly, Zirui's grandmother died from serious injuries." Yun the butcher said sadly.

"Zirui stayed by his grandmother's side and didn't dare go anywhere. Later, my eldest son, the third son, and Yiyi went up the mountain to collect firewood and found Zirui and his dead grandmother."

"My eldest brother and his family helped bury Zirui's grandmother and brought Zirui back to my home. My wife only recognized him after talking to him."

"Your wife should know Zirui, right?" the village chief asked in confusion.

"When Zirui first came to my house, he was completely black and I couldn't see what he looked like at all. My wife definitely wouldn't be able to recognize him." Yun the Butcher explained.
