The sisters-in-law took care of the children, and Zhao Qinghe was a little kid, even though she wasn't very old.
Feeling bored, Zhao Qingyan decided to go out for a stroll.
But she had already traversed the entire Daqingshan Mountain, so where else could she go? At this moment, Zhao Qingyan remembered Zhao Han, her biological father from her previous life.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, where are you?"
If you don't come back soon, your daughter will forget what you even look like. Ugh, this is so annoying, what should I do?
Zhao Qingyan was really bored, and when she was bored, she had to cause trouble for others.
In the past, when she caused trouble, it was her family members.
For example, making some delicious food, or now, tormenting people means tormenting the guards and servants at home.
"Hai'an, what are you doing? Can't you do this? Hurry up, the rabbit has run away, chase it!"
Well, she took her people into the mountains to catch rabbits. Logically speaking, with Zhao Qingyan's rabbit-catching skills, she could catch one with a single leap, but she didn't.
They insist on relying solely on running, without using any agility. Why catch rabbits? To raise them.
In the mountains, he led a group of people to catch rabbits. At home, the servants and craftsmen worked together to build rabbit burrows.
Because rabbits have a habit of burrowing, they build their burrows in a relatively high place.
The top is a large shed, with walls made of wooden planks and barbed wire.
Dig a sloping pit below and build blue bricks around it to match the ground.
Then use rough timber to make crossbeams, lay planks on top, cover them with a layer of tarpaulin, and then cover them with soil.
An opening is left outside the burrow. The rabbits can go in if they want, and stay outside if they don't.
When appropriate, some hay should be thrown into the rabbit's enclosure.
Whether the rabbits would drag the hay into their burrows to make nests was irrelevant.
Once the rabbits were caught, they were all put into the pen. The Zhao family had no shortage of rabbit food, so the captured rabbits quickly began to reproduce in large numbers.
After catching the rabbits, what's next? Naturally, it's time to train the horses.
There are quite a few wild horses in the space.
As a result, Zhao Qingyan discovered that the wild horses and bison she had previously brought in had all given birth to calves.
This was a huge surprise to Zhao Qingyan. She never expected that the cattle and horses she had taken in would become pregnant.
Now, she's a little reluctant to take those wild horses out of her space again.
Let them reproduce in the space first.
That day, Lü Feng sent word from Qingyang County that a distinguished guest had arrived at the orphanage and asked the head of the Zhao family to go there.
After reading the letter, the Zhao family had mixed feelings.
The little dumpling that was stuffed into the well by Granny Dong is now being searched for by someone claiming to be her relative.
Moreover, the other party seems to be of high status; they're rumored to be the son of some general.
Given their background, and the fact that they lost their child, the Zhao family immediately concluded that the backyard was in disarray.
So, Wang Caixia and Tian Xiaolan went to the county as representatives.
As someone who was bored out of her mind, Zhao Qingyan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. She wanted to see what kind of family could have left their child missing for so long before finally coming to look for them.
To avoid trouble, Zhao Qingyan dressed in men's clothing and accompanied her two aunts.
On the way, the mother and her two children started discussing the little glutinous rice balls.
"Auntie, Auntie, do you think the people who came looking for Little Tangyuan could be their biological parents?"
Could it be some stepmother or something who's planning to find the child, take him back, and kill him?
Zhao Qingyan speculated about the conspiracy.
Wang Caixia usually thinks positively about things.
"That shouldn't be possible. If she were a stepmother, she would probably be too busy pushing the child away to even think about bringing him back."
Maybe he's their biological child. That little guy is the best-looking child I've seen in years.
Look back at him and his so-called relatives, and you'll know whether they really resemble each other.
Tian Xiaolan also expressed her strong agreement.
"Yes, we'll see how things go then."
If the child is not biologically related to the parents, or if the parents are kidnappers and try to take the child away without identification, that's unacceptable.
I think we should report this to the authorities and ask Magistrate Qiu to testify.
I heard that the government has a set of methods to verify the authenticity of documents.
If their household registrations are fake, we can hand them over to the authorities while we're at it. We might even get a reward.
Zhao Qingyan and Wang Caixia both laughed when they heard Tian Xiaolan's words.
"Second Aunt, you are the smartest."
We need to consider all the possibilities, not to mention how much money it will cost to raise a child.
"Take the children we've raised, for example. They're all so well-behaved. They're already unfortunate; how can we make them even more unfortunate?"
The three chatted idly until they arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, only then realizing the scale of the entourage.
They had previously said they would report it to the authorities, and Magistrate Qiu was actually there too.
Judging from how Magistrate Qiu seemed to be chatting very congenially with that family dressed in fine clothes, it must be true.
The newcomers were a husband and wife. The man was tall and had a rough, burly appearance; just by looking at his demeanor, you could tell he was a trained fighter.
The woman had a kind and gentle face, and was very beautiful.
She looks about 70% similar to the little dumpling being held by her older brother.
Because she was shy around strangers, Little Tangyuan refused to go into a woman's arms and instead clung tightly to her brother's neck.
This older brother is one of the oldest boys in the orphanage. He was the one who took care of Xiao Tangyuan, whom he had found.
Seeing that Little Tangyuan is about to be taken away by her biological parents, the boy is quite sad.
With the little dumpling clinging to him, he hugged the child in his arms even tighter.
When the couple learned that the head of the orphanage had arrived, the woman immediately stood up and bowed to the three women of the Zhao family, looking like a tearful person.
Wang Caixia stopped the woman from bending her knees.
"Madam, let's skip these formalities."
My family adopted these children not in the hope of getting anything in return.
What are your identities? Did you bring your household registration documents?
And why were the children abandoned in the first place? We must find out the answers to these questions.
As you all know, every child who enters our orphanage is registered under the Zhao family's name, regardless of whether you are their biological parents.
The moment you abandon or lose your child, that child is no longer yours.
Never say you have no choice but to suffer. No matter how hard you suffer, it can never be as hard as your child's suffering.
"How old are these children? At the moment they were abandoned or discarded, did you ever consider that they might die?"
Wang Caixia's harsh words and stern expression caused the frail woman's tears to flow even more freely.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I trusted the wrong person, which gave the bad guys an opportunity to succeed."
The man supporting her felt sorry for her, "Madam, don't be sad. We've already found Mo'er."
