Shen Chengyi frowned and said helplessly: "Xiao Zhang and I stayed in the town for two days and couldn't find Xu Jianguo's wife. When we asked Qingzhu, the child just cried. I had no choice but to bring her back. She is a minor, and I can't just abandon her."

The abacus beads were so good, it aroused the anger that Su Yuehua had suppressed. "Let me ask you, what about He Chunni? It would have been fine if you had brought back one, but why did you bring back two?"

Shen Chengyi also felt wronged. "Wife, I really have no choice. He Dahai's mother passed away. He Chunni's uncles only want to earn the pension from Dahai and don't want to take care of the children at all. He Chunni called me and said that her aunt treated her badly, so I..."

Su Yuehua heard the key point in Shen Chengyi's words, and she frowned slightly to interrupt what he was about to say, "You said that it was He Chunni who called you, so you went to He Dahai's house and thought about adopting He Chunni."

When she saw Shen Chengyi nod, she thought of the crux of the matter, “When you went to Xu Jianguo’s house, did you mention to his wife that you wanted to adopt He Chunni?”

After hearing her reminder, Shen Chengyi also thought of it, “Xiao Zhang mentioned it before leaving.”

"I really don't know what to say to you. How come your IQ drops the higher you become as you become more powerful? Xu Jianguo's wife doesn't want to throw the child to you. She clearly wants the child to marry into a good family." There were some harsh words that Su Yuehua didn't want to say, but it still felt bad to be made a fool of herself.

Shen Chengyi looked embarrassed, "Wife, I really had no choice but to bring these two children home. If they were boys, they could be sent directly to the army, but it's difficult to deal with two girls."

Su Yuehua sat down against the head of the bed, rubbing her temples. The decision of whether the two girls should stay or go was really giving her a headache.

Shen Chengyi was a little flattering, sitting on the other side of the bed and massaging her head, “Yuehua, Chunni and Qingzhu are really pitiful, I know you have always been the softest-hearted.”

"You are sure that I am soft-hearted, so you act first and ask for my permission later." Su Yuehua pushed Shen Chengyi's big hand away and turned to look at him.

Shen Chengyi was somewhat speechless after being asked by her.

Su Yuehua couldn't help but sigh heavily, stood up from the bed, looked at him and said, "The two children can stay. I can pay for their food, clothing, schooling and even their future marriages, but they must not go through the adoption procedures, and their household registration cannot be registered in our house. I will ask my brother to help with the household registration and register them separately."

As a mother, Su Yuehua would never allow other people's children to enjoy the same inheritance rights as her children.

Shen Chengyi agreed readily, "I'll listen to you. As long as we treat the two children well, it doesn't matter whether we go through the adoption procedures or not. Grandma thinks the same as you."

Although Su Yuehua verbally agreed to keep the two children, she felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart. She glared at Shen Chengyi, turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as she walked into the kitchen, she saw He Chunni rushing to help Bai Xiuying with the work. "Grandma Bai, I can do it. My grandma is old, and I was the one who did all the housework when she was at home."

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Bai Xiuying couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "Chun Ni is such a filial child. The food will be ready soon. Please help get the bowls and chopsticks."

"Okay." He Chunni smiled brightly, but when she turned around and saw Su Yuehua coming in, her smile froze and she called out obediently, "Auntie Su."

Su Yuehua didn't see Xu Qingzhu, so she asked casually, "Where's Qingzhu?"

He Chunni raised her hand and pointed upstairs, and whispered, "Qingzhu is sleeping upstairs."

Su Yuehua nodded and took the dish that Bai Xiuying had just cooked.

She had just put the dishes on the table when Shen Lili and Shen Chengzhong and his wife came back from get off work.

"Second sister-in-law, you're back. Why don't you see Yanyan and Chenchen?" Shen Lili came over to greet Su Yuehua. She was startled when she saw the girl standing behind her, and then asked, "Is this child Ningning's classmate? That's not right. Ningning hasn't finished school yet at this time."

Su Yuehua forced a smile and introduced: "This child is He Chunni, the child of your second brother's comrade-in-arms, and she will live with us in the future."

Shen Lili was shocked. If she had let it go, she would have been very angry, but her experiences over the years have made her much more mature. She just glared at Shen Chengyi who had just walked in angrily.

Shen Chengyi was somewhat puzzled by her glare, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of the child.

He looked around and found that Xu Qingzhu was not there, so he asked He Chunni: "Chunni, why can't I see Qingzhu?"

"Qingzhu is sleeping upstairs. I'll go call her now." He Chunni said, and ran upstairs. Not long after, she came down again. "Uncle Chen, Qingzhu said she doesn't want to eat, so let's eat first and ignore her."

She said that she didn't care, but how could she not care? Su Yuehua said to her family, "You guys eat first. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

She walked quickly up the stairs and knocked on the bedroom door.

“Bang, bang.”

"Qingzhu." Seeing that she didn't respond, Su Yuehua pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

Then she saw Xu Qingzhu lying on the bed, her pretty face flushed red. She quickly walked to the bed and whispered, "Qingzhu, Xu Qingzhu."

Xu Qingzhu slowly opened her eyes and called out like a kitten, "Auntie Su."

Su Yuehua put her hand on her forehead and found it was very hot. "You have a fever. I'll take you to the hospital."

As he said this, he reached out to help her.

Xu Qingzhu raised her eyes and refused: "Aunt Su, there is no need to go to the hospital. I will be fine after a while of sleep."

Su Yuehua saw that she just had a fever, so she didn't force her to go to the hospital. "Lie down first. I'll find you two pills. Take them and then go to sleep."
