Chapter 184 I Want to Take Her Home

Everyone laughed:

"Who needs a child?"

"That's right. Even if they don't have children, they can adopt a child from relatives or their own family. Who would want to raise a child with no blood relation who doesn't know who their parents are?"

"that is."

"If the child's parents are dead, that's fine. But what if the child's biological parents are alive, and after you've raised the child with great care, they come back to claim the child? What will you do then?"

"If a child has a conscience, they will acknowledge their biological parents and also adoptive parents. If they don't, they'll just leave with their biological parents, leaving you with all the trouble and financial loss. What's the point?"

"That's right."

In short, there are not many people willing to adopt a child; in fact, very few.

Otherwise, the number of children in orphanages wouldn't be increasing.

After all, many of these children are not only physically complete with all their limbs and bodies, but they still grew up in orphanages, which speaks volumes.

Jiang Jianni: "..."

Handing your child over to the train police is like handing over a troublesome situation.

The train police officer carried the child away, and everyone dispersed.

Back in their seats, they started talking about their children again.

Now, it's not just about children going missing around us, but also about people who don't have children adopting or taking in other people's children.

Most of these children are quite good. Regardless of whether they acknowledge their biological parents or not, most of them choose to live with their adoptive parents after they grow up.

The most bizarre case is a family that had ten children, all daughters. By the time the tenth child was born, the wife had forgotten how to have children.

I don't know what they were thinking, but since they couldn't have a baby themselves, they went outside and adopted one.

The whole family, including all ten daughters, treated the boy they brought home like royalty.

The old woman who told the story curled her lip: "I think that whole family is a bunch of idiots, not a single one of them is sensible."

"What's wrong with having a daughter? They have ten daughters. If they raise them well, they can find a son-in-law to live with them and still have their own children, right?"

"They have to go outside and pick up some unknown bastard child."

"He's so bad at such a young age, teasing cats and dogs and bullying other people's children. He's just short of murder and arson."

“When people confront them about the score, they cry and complain that they only have this one child.”

"Pah! So all those babies that were born before were dead?"

"Just you wait, this kid was a little rascal when he was young, and he'll be a big rascal when he grows up."

"His family is counting on this kid to bring honor to their ancestors and carry on the family line. I think their family might be dragged down by this kid."

Soon the conversation turned to the issue of children's education.

Jiang Jianni sat on her bunk with a blank expression.

Lu Xiangyang offered her novels to cheer her up, but she didn't respond. He offered her snacks, but she didn't respond. He brought her water, but she didn't respond. Even when he spoke, it was like a delayed telegram. Lu Xiangyang would ask the next question before she remembered to answer the previous one.

Finally, Lu Xiangyang couldn't take it anymore. He stood on the ladder, leaned in, and tugged at her cheek, asking in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? You've been so distracted."

Jiang Jianni blinked and asked hesitantly, "You mean... if... never mind, I know it's impossible, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

Lu Xiangyang was amused and annoyed: "You've already said half of what you wanted to say, but then you stopped. Jiang Jianni, is it funny to tease people like this?"

Jiang Jianni looked troubled: "I'm not kidding you, I just think my idea is too groundbreaking..."

Lu Xiangyang took a deep breath: "At least tell me what you're thinking, so I can know if your idea is really groundbreaking."

Jiang Jianni hesitated before asking, "You...you really want to know?"

Lu Xiangyang: "Or would you rather I hold you and we discuss this together?"

Jiang Jianni blushed deeply and said in a barely audible voice, "Well, that's not necessary."

There weren't many people in the sleeper berths.

There are quite a few, though.

Each sleeper compartment, with three beds on each floor, was fully occupied.

Besides, few of them are in bed at this time; most are sitting downstairs chatting and playing around.

If Lu Xiangyang really hugged her and spoke to her, honestly, not only the people in the carriage, but the entire train would come over to see what was going on.

Seeing that Lu Xiangyang's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous, implying that he would put her words into practice if she continued to act this way, Jiang Jianni dared not hesitate any longer and spoke clearly in a few words:

"I was thinking, why don't we adopt this girl?"

"Look how clean that child is. Her clothes are ordinary, but they are clean. Obviously, her family didn't intend to throw her away in the first place."

"Something must have happened that made them unable to raise their child, so they had no choice but to leave the child on the train, hoping that they could find a good home for the child on the train."

"Besides, this child is so pretty, she'll definitely grow up to be a beauty. Raising a beautiful daughter is never a bad deal, right?"

"We both have salaries, and I get royalties. Raising another child isn't a big deal..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her head drooped lower and lower until she almost buried her head in the bed.

Why.

no way.

Who can blame her for being a sucker for good looks?

Being obsessed with looks is really tough.

Although she didn't get married or have children in her past life, she virtually raised several beautiful little boys and girls, as well as several cute cats and dogs.

There's no other reason, it's just that she's good-looking, incredibly good-looking.

Then I was so hooked that I couldn't move.

Not to mention, the cute and adorable cubs are so adorable that they make your heart flutter.

Jiang Jianni once saw a news report about a family whose child was lost, but was found a month later. It turned out that the person who took the child was not a child trafficker.

The person who took the child did so simply because the child was so good-looking, the kind of good-looking that you can't resist, and then took the child away to raise for a month to your heart's content.

She scoffed at the news when she first saw it, but now, seeing the baby girl, she felt the same urge as the person who took the adorable child away.

It's illegal and a crime for that person to take someone else's child, but this little girl is an abandoned child. If she adopts her, it would be considered doing a good deed and accumulating merit.

Seeing Lu Xiangyang's face growing increasingly dark, Jiang Jianni dared not speak.

She chuckled awkwardly and stammered, "Well, I just thought about it on a whim, please, please don't take it seriously."

Fearing that Lu Xiangyang would be angry, she quickly added, "Really, I just thought about it, but I don't really have any intention of adopting a child."

"We already have two kids, and raising just the two of us is already a struggle. If we had another one, wouldn't our house be in chaos every day?"

"I was just saying, really, don't take it seriously."

Lu Xiangyang sighed deeply, feeling very distressed: "Were you thinking about yourself?"
