Jiang Yue couldn't sleep that night. A lot of things had happened in the past few days. She had finally gotten rid of Hao Fugui and the Han sisters, those plague gods, and now people from the Shi family had come.
Moreover, unlike Hao Fugui and others who could solve the problem with force, the people of the Shi family were Ningning's relatives. Even if Jiang Yue was very dissatisfied with their behavior of coming to ask for Ningning at this time, she could do nothing.
Jiang Yue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply lay on Gu Ye's chest.
"Gu Ye, are you asleep?"
Gu Ye's strong arms immediately wrapped around Jiang Yue, and a deep voice rang out, "No!"
He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yue's soft silhouette in the darkness. Her long hair fell on his face, making him feel a little itchy.
Jiang Yue glanced to the side and saw Ningning sleeping soundly with a rosy little face.
"Gu Ye, I suddenly remembered something——"
"Um?"
"Didn't you go through the formalities when you adopted Ningning? So Ningning is under both of our accounts, right?" Jiang Yue asked in a low voice.
"Yes!" Gu Ye reached out and pushed Jiang Yue's long hair aside. He had good eyesight, and although there was no light in the room, he could still see Jiang Yue's face clearly.
There was no trace of sleepiness on her face at this moment, and her eyes were bright, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
"That is to say, legally speaking, Ningning is our child!" Jiang Yue suddenly thought of this question.
In those days, the requirements for adopting a child were not so strict. Gu Ye was not married at that time, but he was able to adopt a baby girl. He was a thoughtful person, and he immediately went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the adoption procedures.
Jiang Yue had seen Ningning's adoption certificate, and she had specifically asked Gu Ye to hide it, not intending to let Ningning see the adoption certificate in her lifetime.
"It's like this!" Gu Ye propped up his upper body with his elbows, half leaning on the head of the bed, and Jiang Yue lay in his arms.
"Then the Shi family comes to ask for Ningning now. What should we do with Ningning's household registration? Should we transfer it back?" Jiang Yue looked up and asked Gu Ye.
"What do you want to say?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows. He knew that Jiang Yue definitely didn't mean that. During dinner, she reacted so strongly to the Shi family's desire to take Ningning back!
"Everyone else is trying their best to get out of the ravine," Jiang Yue curled her lips, "If the Shi family takes Ningning back to the ravine, they are really crazy!"
"So I thought I should explain it to the Shi family. If they really care about Ningning, they should understand!"
"Well, I will explain it to them clearly!" Gu Ye stroked Jiang Yue's little face. He understood that she loved Ningning sincerely, which was why she considered so much for Ningning.
"Well, actually I can understand Ningning's mother's feelings. She gave birth to her child with so much effort, but she has never seen the child grow up. She must feel bad." Jiang Yue lowered her eyelashes, sighed and said.
Although she has never given birth to a child, she has completely taken on the role of a mother after spending the past six months with Ningning.
"If it were me, I would probably do everything in my power to bring Ningning back to my side!"
But although this may comfort the mother, is it really good for the child?
Especially for Ningning, who has never seen her biological mother since she was born and has been adopted since she can't remember. Now she lives such a happy life. But suddenly you tell her that she is not her parents' biological child and her biological mother is coming to take her back. Can Ningning accept it?
Jiang Yue couldn't help but think of some reports she had read in the past about children who were lost or trafficked at a young age. Ten years or even decades later, when those children were found by their biological parents, they were often no longer able to live with their biological parents. Even if they recognized each other, they were not close to each other. Many people would rather live with their adoptive parents.
Humans are emotional animals. Once they have given their feelings, they cannot be negated by simply saying that the child is not their biological child.
Jiang Yue didn't mean that Ningning was no longer close to her biological mother. In fact, Ningning is still young and not old enough to remember things. If the Shi family takes her back, it won't be long before Ningning forgets about her and Gu Ye and completely integrates into the Shi family.
But is this really a good thing for Ningning?
"Don't think about it! We can talk about it tomorrow!" Gu Ye saw that Jiang Yue's brows were still frowning, so he couldn't help but reach out to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows and whispered in her ear: "Tomorrow I will discuss with Uncle Shi and the others to see if there is any way to have the best of both worlds!"
"Um!"
Just as Gu Ye was about to kiss Jiang Yue, he saw Jiang Yue grab his arm, withdraw from his arms, turn over and lie on the side with her back to him.
"Jiang Yue, have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye.
"We haven't done it for several days!" When Jiang Yue climbed onto Gu Ye's chest, Gu Ye felt itchy. After holding her for such a while and smelling the faint fragrance from Jiang Yue's body, he had already become distracted.
Hearing Gu Ye's blatant suggestion, Jiang Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's too cold, and it's too late. The noise is too loud and will wake Ningning up!"
"We have an electric blanket! Let's go over there and keep the noise down so as not to wake Ningning up!" Gu Ye started to act immediately after he finished speaking. Without giving Jiang Yue an excuse to object, he turned over, carried Jiang Yue and the quilt together, and went to the east room.
"Hey! Gu Ye!" Jiang Yue wanted to reach out and pat Gu Ye, but when she was getting ready to go to bed, her hands were curled up in the quilt. Now Gu Ye wrapped her up in the quilt together with the quilt, and she couldn't stretch her arms out.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake Ningning!" Gu Ye kissed Jiang Yue on the lips.
The east door was closed, and soon, a blushing and heart-pounding sound came from inside...
The next morning, when Jiang Yue got up, Gu Ye had just returned from outside.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Jiang Yue looked at the time. Gu Ye came back half an hour earlier than usual in the morning.
"I didn't go jogging. I went to deliver breakfast to Uncle Shi and the others!" Gu Ye explained.
"Are they staying in a guesthouse?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Yes!" Gu Ye also brought meat buns for Jiang Yue and Ning Ning.
Jiang Yue entered the kitchen, took out the coal stove, took out two small pieces of firewood from the corner and put them in, poured kerosene, lit a match, and the fire inside immediately started burning.
This is the method of lighting the stove that Jiang Yue learned after coming here. Let the fire burn for a while, then use tongs to pick up the coal balls and put them in.
"Gu Ye, how many days do they plan to stay this time? Do you want to take a leave and take them out for a walk?" Jiang Yue used a palm-leaf fan to fan the coal stove to make the coal balls burn. When she first started using this method to light the stove, the fire was clearly burning very vigorously, but when she checked after a while, the kettle was still cold and the coal balls had not burned at all.
"We had this plan, but when I asked this morning, they said they would leave tonight!" Gu Ye put the kettle filled with well water on the ground.
"Leaving so soon?" Jiang Yue was surprised.
"She said she had something to do at home. If she doesn't go to work for a day, she won't earn any work points for the production team." Gu Ye took the palm-leaf fan from Jiang Yue's hand and asked her to go aside.
Using kerosene to light a stove will produce smoke, which is very choking.
"Have you told them about Ningning?" Jiang Yue suddenly became nervous.
