"Chen Xiaoxiao——!" Qin Cuifang clenched her back teeth and squeezed out three words one by one from between her teeth.
Li Qiao hugged her arms tightly and hurriedly helped her to calm down.
"Don't get excited. Didn't you say that getting angry is bad for your health? It's not worth it. If there's a problem, just solve it. Don't get angry~"
Shu Miao was also afraid of being implicated, so he broke free from Zi Li's hand and retreated decisively.
Zili was so scared that he was about to cry. He quickly glanced at his mother who had no time to pay attention to him and hurried to catch up.
kitchen,
Shu Miao propped up his chin and stared curiously at someone who was busy cooking.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why is everyone so excited?"
Unexpectedly, he immediately received a resentful look from the other party, "Why didn't you stop me? Don't you know that Chen Xiaoxiao almost killed me? It's so hard for me, I..."
Zili cried and blamed the blame, but it did not affect his efficiency in scrubbing the pot with a bamboo tube.
Shu Miao didn't know whether to laugh first or to fight back.
She paused for a moment, and waited until he had steamed the rice before asking again.
Zili had calmed down a little at this moment, but when he saw his cousin watching the show with great interest, he wanted to cry again.
"I might get married soon. It's so hard for me... wuwu..."
"Ah!!!?" Shu Miao was stunned at first, then he was so shocked that he lost control of his expression. This was simply unbelievable.
"Are you kidding me?"
As Zili wiped his tears and cried while explaining a customary rule of Yueer Bay, Shu Miao fell silent...
It turned out that since Yueer Bay had been developing better and better, families who had given birth to girls but did not want to raise them had gradually abandoned their children at the brigade headquarters.
At first, the team leader had no choice but to send the child to the commune, and the commune leaders then found a way to send the child to an orphanage in the city.
Who would have thought that because this incident spread, more and more families who had daughters but could not bear to commit the sin of killing would look for opportunities to secretly abandon their children to the Yueerwan Brigade Headquarters.
Whenever this happened, the team leader could only hold his anger and check his own team first.
After confirming that the child was not abandoned by anyone from their own group, they had no choice but to continue sending the child to the commune.
But as the number of such incidents increased, the commune leaders began to seriously doubt the origins of these children and even sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, which directly affected Yueerwan's brigade selection for several years.
To prevent this situation from happening again, the captain even arranged for militia to patrol 24 hours a day.
Although no one abandoned their children at their brigade headquarters since then, there were still some families who were unwilling to accept the situation and simply abandoned their children at the edge of the fields where the Yueerwan Brigade was located.
As long as the child can survive the night, he will always be seen by the members going to work the next day.
These abandoned children are almost all newborn girls. Even if there are a few boys, they are either disabled or stupid.
Even the team leader was helpless when faced with this situation, let alone the members, who were still sent to the team headquarters.
After all, no matter what, this is a living life. Who can turn a blind eye to it?
So these children who were picked up and brought back to the brigade were finally asked by the brigade leader to which family in the brigade wanted to adopt a child.
But these days, every family can barely take care of their own children, so who has the time to feed another mouth?
But if all these old children were raised by the brigade, wouldn’t that be equivalent to declaring to the whole world that their brigade was being taken advantage of?
By that time, I'm afraid the situation will become more and more serious.
Just when the team leader was at his wit's end, a family finally offered to adopt the girl, but the prerequisite was that the baby girl be adopted as a child bride.
The team leader at that time was really helpless. If he ignored it, he would feel bad. If he sent it to the higher-ups, it would bring trouble to the entire team. He had no choice.
Caught in a dilemma, he had no choice but to agree to this compromise.
However, some thresholds have been deliberately set, such as the family that adopts the girl cannot be too poor, and the girl cannot be prevented from going to school in the future.
Moreover, the age difference between the sons of these families and theirs cannot be too big, so as to eliminate a large number of families with ulterior motives.
Fortunately, the brigade had a large population, and most of the baby girls were managed.
As for those thinner baby girls, some people worry that they cannot be raised to life, or that they are in poor health and will have difficulty giving birth even if they are raised.
The team leader had no choice but to mobilize his relatives and persuade them to find a place for these children.
However, no one was willing to adopt children with disabilities or intellectual problems, so they could only allocate a small courtyard and arrange for a few elderly people to look after them in exchange for work points.
Even so, people still abandon their children near Yueer Bay from time to time, but there are only a few families willing to raise child brides, which creates a vicious cycle.
In the end, the team leader had no choice but to hold a high-profile meeting and let every household spread the word that whoever found an abandoned baby in Yueer Bay would be the one to raise it, and the team would not be responsible.
As more and more families who couldn't bear to see their adopted children sent them to the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader would cruelly refuse them all and tell them to take their children home to raise.
In the end, it caused such a big commotion that the news even spread to several nearby teams. As a result, the phenomenon of picking up children every day gradually became less common.
From then on, the entire brigade tacitly agreed that whoever picked up a baby girl from outside would be the daughter-in-law prepared for their son.
The reason why Qin Cuifang reacted so strongly was that her family had already adopted two children.
Take Chen Xiaoxiao as an example. She has two older sisters, a brother, and a younger sister.
