Li Zichen and Su Xiao left without looking back. Su Xiao asked, "Have you asked my sister?"
Li Zichen said confidently, "My wife will definitely agree. I know her."
The two returned to the milk tea shop, and Li Zichen took out the adoption certificate and gave it to Su Le. Su Le took a look and said, "Pick her up. What's the matter with her lying here? Let's go back to the Su family compound."
Li Zichen put away the adoption certificate, picked up Li Ningwei, and the four of them returned to the Su family compound together.
Half an hour later, Su Fugui and Xu Sheng saw the four people and the little girl in Li Zichen's hands. They asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Su Le said calmly, "My daughter, Li Ningwei."
Su Fugui's mouth opened wide. His first reaction was that it was Li Zichen's child outside. He was so angry that he pulled Su Le behind him and said, "Li Zichen! You actually brought your... to the Su family?"
Su Xiao pushed Li Zichen and quickly carried him into the room to rest. Xu Jiaojiao said, "He was adopted. He had a high fever and was unconscious." Then she told the two of them what happened in the milk tea shop.
Su Fugui looked at Su Le, and Su Le nodded. "Although I haven't figured out how to be a mother yet. But since I've adopted the child, I will take responsibility until the end."
Xu Sheng said, "Le Le! You and Zi Chen are great. Very brave."
Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Then I'll be your godmother! We'll raise Lele together and study together!"
Su Le also smiled and nodded. The first time she was exposed to this feudal era, it was truly traumatic for a girl. She thought of the older sister who sold her stamps. It must have been deeply ingrained, perhaps from years of indoctrination.
Su Le clenched her fists, feeling fortunate to live in a peaceful era free of feudalism. She was also fortunate to have such good parents and brothers who doted on her.
"Dad, I'm really lucky to be your daughter." Su Le said seriously to Su Fugui.
Su Fugui understood what his daughter meant and hugged her. He rubbed her head and said, "You are also a treasure sent by God to me."
Su Xiao also said, "He is our family's treasure!"
"Dad, brother, I'm going to check on the kid first." Su Le put his hands in his pockets and silently read the fever-reducing patch. Children's fever-reducing medicine.
When she opened the door, Li Zichen was tucking her in. Seeing Su Le coming in, he picked up the washbasin beside him, went out to boil water, and prepared to wipe the girl's face.
Su Le took out the fever-reducing patch and placed it aside with the children's fever-reducing medicine. Li Zichen brought in a washbasin and a clean towel, wrung it dry. Su Le took it and carefully wiped the girl's face. He then applied the fever-reducing patch.
The girl's clean face was pale and thin, and Su Le wiped her neck carefully.
She took her hands out from under the quilt and began to wipe them. They were so thin that only bones and skin remained.
Li Zichen sighed and said, "Wife, are you angry? I just felt so sorry for her. That's why..."
Su Le shook her head and said, "I'm not angry. I'm just feeling sorry for the girls of this era."
Li Zichen remained silent. This was a common situation in their village. Girls were not required to learn academics and were forced to learn housework at a very young age. They could not even get enough to eat, and when they grew up, most girls had to marry off in exchange for betrothal gifts, which would be used to help their brothers get married.
Su Le and Li Zichen stayed with the girl for several hours until her fever subsided in the evening. Su Le also mixed some spiritual spring water for her to drink.
The girl opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar Su Le and Li Zichen, and then she looked around, "Big sister, where are my sister and brother?"
Su Le touched her face and asked gently, "Do you like your brothers and sisters?"
The girl shrank her head.
Su Le said, "If you like it, just say you like it. If you don't like it, just say you don't like it. It doesn't matter. No one will force you."
The girl shook her head and said softly, "My sister thinks I'm a burden, and my brother doesn't like me either and often beats me."
Su Le hugged her and said, "No one will bully you anymore." Then he looked at her seriously and said, "Are you willing to live with me? Let me be your mother and he will be your father."
The girl's eyes were filled with pleading. "Did my brother sell me to you? Please don't drive me away. I can light the fire, wash the dishes, and sweep the floor. I eat very little, and I won't eat for free..."
Su Le interrupted her, "Your brother didn't sell you to me. We wanted to adopt you, so are you willing to be our daughter?"
The girl thought for a moment and nodded! "I, I do."
Su Le continued, "Then you won't be able to recognize them in the future, including your father and your grandmother. Are you willing to do that?"
The girl nodded. "I do!"
Su Le rubbed her head. "Okay. From now on, your name is Li Ningwei, your mother's name is Su Le, and your father's name is Li Zichen. Remember?"
Li Ningwei nodded, "My name is Li Ningwei! You are my mother and she is my father."
Su Le said to Li Zichen, "I'll go out and prepare the bath water and take her to bathe later."
Li Zichen nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.
When Su Fugui and the others saw her come out, Chen Yao asked, "Are you awake?"
Su Le nodded, "She is willing to be my daughter."
Chen Yao said, "Okay, okay. I'll make her some porridge now."
Su Le nodded, walked to the bathroom, took out the children's bathtub from the space, put in boiling water, took out a small half of the spiritual spring water from the space, and mixed them together.
He returned to the room, knocked on the girl's hand, and walked out the door. The girl saw many people outside and subconsciously hid behind Su Le.
Su Le squatted down and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, these are my mother's relatives, and also Weiwei's relatives."
Li Ningwei nodded and followed Su Le.
Su Le was in the bathroom, and Li Ningwei was taking off her clothes by herself. The bruises of various sizes on her body silently told the story of what the girl had experienced.
Su Le hugged her, heartbroken, and placed her in the tub. Xu Jiaojiao walked in and saw the scars on her body. She clenched her fingers in anger. She tilted her head back, holding back her tears. She put on a smile.
"Hello, Weiwei. I am your godmother. My name is Xu Jiaojiao." Xu Jiaojiao smiled and stretched out her hand to her.
Li Ningwei subconsciously shrank back. But when she saw Su Le nod with a smile, she smiled back and shook her hand. Tiantian called out, "Hello, godmother!"
Xu Jiaojiao was helping out.
She finished washing quickly. When Xu Jiaojiao carried her out, she was very light. Too light. Su Le quickly dried her and took out the clothes he had prepared.
Li Ningwei was wearing a top, she had never worn a princess dress. She stood there at a loss, looking at Su Le subconsciously with fear in her eyes.
Su Le taught her how to put it on step by step.
Xu Jiaojiao was braiding her hair from behind.
Two people, one on each side, held her hand and walked into the yard.
Xu Hu and others just listened to what Su Fugui said to them.
He didn't approach them, but just stood aside with a smile.
