Chapter 164 A Little Cousin Fell from the Sky

Chen Guilan didn't sleep the whole night.

I kept thinking about the little child I had never met. It was so pitiful that he was abandoned at such a young age.

Su Jiaojiao is tired.

I fell asleep as soon as I lay down and slept until dawn.

Chen Guilan finally waited until morning, and when Su Jiaojiao woke up, she couldn't wait to say, "Jingjiao, let's go to Hualian Shopping Mall to buy some clothes and milk powder for the child. Let's go back in the morning!"

She was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

I was afraid that the child would be sent away by Chen Guisheng.

"Okay, in the morning then." Su Jiaojiao knew Chen Guilan best. "Mom, if my second uncle doesn't want the child, you won't take the child and raise him, right?"

What puzzled her was that Chen Guisheng did not adopt a child in his previous life.

Could it be that because she met Li Haocheng in the provincial capital, their karma was changed, so the affairs of their family also changed?

"If your second aunt doesn't want her, we can just take her in and raise her." Chen Guilan did have this in mind, and she explained it to Su Jiaojiao, "I have some money now, so we can afford to take care of this child. When she's older, I can take her to sell goods, and you'll have a companion in the future."

She asked and found out that it was a very healthy girl.

In all likelihood, it was an extra birth and was sent away.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell Ding Mei that we won't be going over today. Let's just treat it as a day off." Su Jiaojiao called Ding Mei and chatted for a few words. Ding Mei said that there was nothing going on in the factory and she didn't need to come over every day.

She is eighteen years older than that little kid, so what does she need to be his companion?

Chen Guilan's maternal love is overflowing.

Chen Guilan, who has always been reluctant to spend money, was exceptionally generous. As soon as she arrived at Hualian Shopping Mall, she bought two sets of baby clothes, a quilt and a blanket. She went to the third floor and bought a large piece of cloth, saying that she would use it as a diaper for her child. These were not enough, so she took Su Jiaojiao to the department store to buy milk bottles and milk powder.

Su Jiaojiao had no experience in taking care of a baby, so she had to pay and carry the bag.

I bought a lot of things in big and small bags.

Su Jiaojiao had never seen Chen Guilan spend money so lavishly, and she was shocked.

As soon as the mother and daughter entered the house, they saw Xu Yue'e holding the child in the yard, humming a song happily. When she saw Chen Guilan, she hurried forward and held the child to show her: "Guilan, look, Linlin is back."

Chen Guilan hurriedly took the child and looked at him carefully. The little baby was pale and thin, as if he was malnourished. Even his cry sounded like a cat. Her original joy disappeared for the most part. Could she raise this child?

Su Jiaojiao came into the house carrying bags.

Chen Juan felt very sorry: "Why did you buy so much?"

"My mom bought it." Su Jiaojiao saw Chen Guilan and Xu Yue'e still looking after the child in the yard and joked, "My mom said you didn't want it, so we took it away."

"Yes." Chen Juan said helplessly, "My mother insisted that this was Linlin. If she took the child away, it would be the end of her life. The person who sent the child was really bold. My mother has been ill for many years, but she still dared to send the child to our door."

"Do you have a token of trust?" In this situation, it is not appropriate to leave a letter or a bracelet or something like that. Since it has been sent, the biological parents must know its whereabouts.

It is not impossible to come back and meet each other after growing up.

"No, she just wrote a note with her birthday on it. She's only seven days old." Chen Juan sighed, "She's too young. If she gets sick, she'll have to go to the hospital."

These are all her business.

It makes me sad just thinking about it.

"Yes, raising a child is difficult." Su Jiaojiao nodded and comforted Chen Juan, "But think about it the other way around. If Second Auntie's illness is cured because of this child, that would be a good thing too."

"That's right." Chen Juan wouldn't really ignore it. She took out the new bottle that Chen Guilan had bought, scalded it with boiling water, poured a bottle of milk powder into it, shook it in her hand, put it on her face to test the temperature, and then handed the bottle to Chen Guilan, "Auntie, it's time for her to have milk."

Only then did Chen Guilan carry the child back to the house and feed the child with a bottle.

Xu Yue'e followed closely in, sat on the side and watched, smiling at Su Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, look, your sister's eyes are very similar to your sister's."

"What are you talking about!" Chen Juan took the basin and prepared to make dumplings with bread, and said depressedly, "How can she be like me!"

Su Jiaojiao leaned over to take a look curiously. She had never seen such a small child before.

The little face is wrinkled, and there is a layer of white sebum on the forehead. The face is red because of sucking so hard. No wonder it is said that he has used up all the strength to suck.

Chen Guilan said to Xu Yue'e, "Second sister-in-law, this child has jaundice. He needs more sun exposure, more milk powder, and more water, and he'll be fine. If he gets more yellow, he needs to be taken to the hospital."

"I see." Xu Yue'e nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Linlin is very well behaved. She doesn't act naughty when she's full, but she cries when she's hungry. We didn't have a bottle the past two days, so we had to feed her with a spoon. She cries because she's not full."

"I was thinking of going to town to buy a baby bottle today, but my aunt and Jiaojiao bought it for me, along with two bags of milk powder," Chen Juan said, standing by the kang, kneading dough. "This milk powder is quite expensive."

"She's so young, she needs some good milk powder." Chen Guilan watched the baby in her arms gulp down half a bottle of milk powder. She picked her up, patted her back, and let her burp. "Look how hungry she is."

"I understand. I'll feed her with a bottle from now on." Xu Yue'e held the child in her arms as if she were a treasure. The child fell asleep after eating. Looking at the little face in her sleep, she smiled again. "As long as there's food for me, there's food for her. I will definitely raise her well."

Chen Guisheng knew that Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao were coming back today, so he didn't go to the fields.

Squatting under the eaves and smoking.

Adding a new member to the family is no small matter.

Judging from the situation, this child cannot be sent away.

If he sent her away, Xu Yue'e's illness might become even worse, he didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing Chen Guisheng remained silent, Xu Yue'e walked over with the child in her arms and said to him, "Don't worry, just focus on your own things. I'll cook for you, wash your clothes, and take care of the child at home. If you dare to send the child away, I'll fight you!"

"No, no, no, no!" Chen Guisheng picked up the hoe and left.

"Guilan, you heard it, your second brother said he won't send her off." Xu Yue'e then carried the child to the kang, opened the small quilt and blanket that Chen Guilan had bought, and said happily, "My daughter Ni has a good aunt. When she grows up, she must be filial to her aunt."

"I don't want her to be filial, I just want her to grow up safely." Chen Guilan stood by the kang and looked at the baby in the cradle with mixed feelings.

Chen Juan kneaded the dough and went to pick leeks. Su Jiaojiao went over to help. Chen Juan said gloomily, "I'm worried about my mother being home alone with the children. If I were home too, all the work in the fields would depend on my father."

"Look after him at home for a few days and see how things go." Su Jiaojiao suddenly remembered Chen Juan delivering goods to the restaurant. "By the way, are you still delivering goods to the restaurant?"

Chen Guisheng contracted an apple orchard, a chestnut orchard, and also cultivated her family's land.

If Chen Juan stays at home to take care of the children, then Chen Guisheng will be the only one to do the work in the fields.

"She stopped delivering last month." Chen Juan said truthfully, "Her restaurant closed down. She said she wanted to do something else."

"Oh, so that's it!" Su Jiaojiao almost forgot about it.

If Chen Juan could do some handicrafts at home, she could earn some money.

But what should she do?

After much thought, the only option is to make clothes.
