Chapter 12 Compensation

"Fortunately, I was not eaten! I thought I would never see my handsome brother again!" Jiang Xiaoxiao had a look of loss and recovery on her face, and she hugged Qi Jinchen's arm stickyly.

Qi Jinchen was amused and speechless, and couldn't help but rub her little head, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

His voice brought a great sense of security to Jiang Xiaoxiao's ears.

Nodded heavily.

'Gululu!'

Jiang Xiaoxiao lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? Auntie has left some food for you!" Yan Qiu went to heat up the food when the two little ones entered the tent, and she heard this voice when she brought it in.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, beautiful auntie!"

"Auntie is the best person in the world!" After praising her, she began to eat her rice. After eating a few times, she remembered that Brother Achen taught her to chew slowly, so she slowly slowed down.

Yan Qiu was so happy when he heard the compliment.

Qi Jinchen looked displeased.

I always feel like I'm being robbed of credit.

After eating and drinking, the little boy soon felt sleepy and fell into a sound sleep. Yan Qiu looked at Qi Jinchen and thought that he wanted to sleep with the little guy. Just as he was about to leave, his phone vibrated. It was a video call from Qi Heng.

I guess he wants to see the cute little guy.

Yan Qiu first went outside to briefly explain the situation to Lao Qi, then she tiptoed in and pointed the camera at the sleeping Jiang Xiaoxiao. After watching quietly for a long time, she walked outside and asked, "How is it?"

"She is really beautiful. Take her home and raise her for a year or two. She will surely become even cuter when she becomes chubby!" Qi Heng was happy. It just so happened that there was no girl in their family, and Yan Qiu had always wanted to have a younger sister.

She was unable to have any more children due to her health. Whenever she saw other families having children in groups, she felt envious, but her health could only support her to have one child at most.

The two people discussed adoption.

After hanging up the call, Yan Qiu found that Qi Jinchen had also fallen asleep, sleeping next to Jiang Xiaoxiao. She felt quite warm. She carefully zipped up the tent and walked into her tent.

As autumn approaches, the nights are getting cooler.

Jiang Xiaoxiao came home panting and immediately told everyone about this.

Jiang Qingmei screamed, "What!"

He lowered his voice after realizing it belatedly, "Did you listen carefully? Are the immortal mother and son really going to adopt Jiang Xiaoxiao?"

"Of course not! I heard it clearly!" Jiang Xiaowei was envious and jealous. Why did a little bitch who played with dogs have such good luck? Wasn't she prettier than Jiang Xiaoxiao!

It’s obvious that she and Brother Achen are better together!

Jiang Xiaowei explained the whole story in detail, adding some exaggeration, hoping that Jiang Qingmei would quickly drag Jiang Xiaoxiao home so that she could be loved by Qi Jinchen safely.

She is young and thinks simply.

Jiang Qingmei is not.

Having lived for most of her life, she wouldn't be so foolish as to immediately go to Yan Qiu and her son to ask for Jiang Xiaowei back. Since the wealthy family decided to adopt her, it meant that they couldn't possibly like Jiang Xiaowei. There was no need to let them take her to the filming, as who knows how they might abuse Jiang Xiaowei behind her back.

She can't bear to do it!

"Mom, if you understand, just pull Jiang Xiaoxiao back!" Jiang Xiaowei sat on the kang.

Jiang Qingmei glared at him. "You can get him back just like that. But after all, the other party hasn't actually adopted him yet. We still have a chance. Tomorrow, you have to act like Mom said and spend more time with the young master, okay?"

"Yeah! I got it!" Jiang Xiaowei curled up on the kang and fell asleep in a short while.

Jiang Qingmei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She thought that if Jiang Xiaowei could be adopted, she would be very lucky.

If she couldn't adopt the child, she would never let the other party take Jiang Xiaoxiao away easily. She would have to extort money from them!

For several days in a row, Jiang Xiaowei did as Jiang Qingmei said. Whenever she was alone with Qi Jinchen, she would say bad things about Jiang Xiaoxiao and throw everything at her, which made Qi Jinchen very annoyed.

If you see her, just change the way you talk, and if you hear her, just pretend you didn't hear her.

Jiang Xiaowei was devastated.

She became decadent from being jealous of Jiang Xiaoxiao, because she found that after being dressed up by Yan Qiu and the others, Jiang Xiaoxiao not only became cute and lovely, but also sweet and good at talking, and was several times better than her in memorizing lines and acting!

She has to recite her lines several times before she can remember them, but Jiang Xiaoxiao can remember them after just one listen!

Finally, the filming was over and Jiang Xiaowei returned home, but she was not in the mood at all. Jiang Qingmei would go to watch the filming under the pretext of helping out, whether she had something to do or not.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaowei really had no chance of winning Qi Jinchen's love during this period, she simply gave up and waited for the other party to bring up the topic of adoption.

Finally, when all the equipment was loaded onto the car, Yan Qiu declined the old village chief's warm invitation and took Jiang Xiaoxiao to Jiang's house. Jiang Qingmei sat on the kang, sewing shoe soles.

She scratched her head with a needle from time to time, and only put down her things slowly when she heard someone coming in. "Oh, Director Yan is here." She greeted them warmly, "The room is dirty, please don't mind."

Yan Qiu frowned.

There was a faint smell in the room.

She didn't like the smell and glanced at it indifferently. She knew that Jiang Qingmei was not being modest at all. The room was a mess with all kinds of things. She wanted to move all the good things into the room before she was satisfied.

Yan Qiu didn't sit down. Feeling the little hand in his palm tense, he got straight to the point, "Aunt Xiaoya, I came here today to say goodbye to you, Jiang Xiaoxiao, and also to discuss something with you."

Jiang Qingmei knew it well, but pretended not to know. "Go ahead and tell me."

"I want to adopt this girl. She has no parents and no one to take care of her. You live a hard life and you will never be able to take good care of her. Why don't you give her to us for adoption? What do you think..." Yan Qiu's good education made him speak tactfully.

Otherwise, she could directly accuse Jiang Qingmei of child abuse, thinking that the emperor is far away and it is better to mind her own business.

As long as the adoption is successful, Jiang Xiaoxiao will be the child of their Qi family. She will naturally be raised better than here in the future and will not have to suffer. There is no need to argue with the village woman in front of her over trivial matters.

Jiang Qingmei smiled and said, "Oh, you want to adopt one."

"Director Yan, you know, we country folk don't understand that much. One more child is like one more laborer. Wouldn't it be a shame if you took my laborer away?"

Listening to the words, Yan Qiu understood clearly, his face turned slightly cold, "What do you want?"

Jiang Qingmei continued, "I don't want to do anything, Director Yan. I've raised this girl for so many years. Even if she's a dog, she still has feelings for me. I suddenly don't want you to take her away."

"Let Jiang Xiaoxiao stay and keep Jiang Xiaowei company. What if her parents come back one day and ask me for the baby?" Jiang Qingmei talked about the money in a roundabout way.

Yan Qiu rolled his eyes inwardly.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy, but I caught a key word, "Doesn't Jiang Xiaowei have to film with us?"

"No, I can't bear to leave both of my children." Jiang Qingmei looked honest and simple.

It's a pity that he has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and doesn't look like a good person.

Yan Qiu's expression turned cold, and he lost all his gentleness. He said bluntly, "Okay, then give me the compensation."

Jiang Qingmei was secretly pleased with herself.

When he heard the word compensation, his eyes widened, "What! What compensation?"
