Chapter 76 The Package

Teacher Wu took out a small paper bag from the room, which contained only one or two ounces of brown sugar. He could give it to others as a gift, which would really give him face and make them happy.

Su He took the small paper bag and said, "Mom, do you still have some brown sugar for giving as gifts?"

"That's all I have. This is the only package I have. It's for the Tong family. This is too little. Half a pound of candies and snacks will be enough. Hurry up and I'll open the package when you come."

Su He wiped his face first to avoid looking too different from outside, then pushed his bicycle back to the Tan family and called out, "Lian Yue, return the bicycle."

This time, Lian Yue came out of the house just like she did this time. She didn't take the brown sugar paper package Su He gave her: "My family has few people, so these are enough for us to eat. You have many children, so you can keep some for me to drink with water!"

Su He didn't hesitate and wanted to say goodbye to the family.

Lian Yue hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Su, I want to ask you a favor."

"Whatever it is, just tell me. I'll do my best to help you."

"Xiao Su, I don't know if you've heard, but the Tang sisters were bullied by their grandmother and looked down upon. So the company wants to find someone with a simple family to take care of them. Old Tan and I don't have children for so many years, and the sisters are grown up. I thought, regardless of whether they are biological or not, we have two children by our side. I don't worry about whether they will be filial to their parents in the future, I just want them to keep me company."

Su He was puzzled: "No, I can't make the decision between the two of them! Lian Yue, why do you want to ask me for help?"

Lian Yue: "Xiao Su, your doctor is Dean Yuan's student. As the old saying goes, he's the most proud protégé! The unit will definitely consider many people's opinions on this matter. I just thought that if they ask you later, could you put in a few words for me?"

Su He nodded. "That's easy! I believe that as long as you are sincere in your treatment of the child, the organization will see through it. By the way, what about Li Cuiying? Has she been sentenced yet?"

Lian Yue began to speak quietly. Actually, they were the only two in the yard, so no one would listen even if they spoke normally. "Li Cuiying was sentenced to fifteen years of forced labor. I heard she'll be sent to the deserts of the northwest! The old lady heard her daughter-in-law's case was finalized. She has an older son, so she wants to take her two granddaughters back home and take the children's pension. Caizhu is ten years old now, and she remembers what it was like back home, so she doesn't want to go."

Su He: "That's true. We still have our uncle and grandma. We're a family after all. If the old lady really wants to do this, even if the organization wants to intervene, there's no reason for it!"

Lian Yue: "But Li Cuiying still has her family back home! Caizhu contacted her grandmother. Her grandmother is no pushover. I heard she's also coming to fight for custody of her granddaughters, saying that she's been helping out here for the past few years, raising both granddaughters!"

Su He nodded. "That makes sense! Now both sides want it, so the organization decided not to give it to either side and find someone else to support the two sisters?"

Lian Yue nodded: "I guess so. Anyway, it has to be someone who is well off and not looking for the pension for two children. It can also be someone who doesn't have children. I think we can treat everyone equally. In the entire family compound, our conditions are the most suitable!"

Su He: "Oh, have you discussed this with your old man, Mr. Tan?"

Lian Yue waved her hand. "There's no need to discuss this. As soon as I mentioned I wanted to adopt a child, he let me decide for myself. We also thought about adopting a child from a nearby town. However, I was afraid of being blackmailed by their biological parents in the future, so we didn't adopt them in the first place. Otherwise, we would have adopted one a long time ago!"

Su He was anxious to leave. She felt sorry for the two little girls, but as for the vote, based on her understanding of Lian Yue, she knew they should be from a good family, so she said, "Okay, Lian Yue, if the organization lets everyone vote, I will definitely vote for your family! It gets dark early, so I have to leave too. My mother-in-law is at home with three children and is too busy cooking!"

Lian Yue: "I envy you the life you lead. Your mother-in-law is such a caring person! Not only does she help you take care of the children, she even helps you cook."

Su He said as she went out: "Of course, an old man in the family is like a treasure, and that's exactly what happened to my family! Come on! Don't come out to see me off! It's getting cold! The wind is blowing so hard that it's almost cutting my head and face!"
