These words, coupled with her bitter expression, immediately aroused the sympathy of the onlookers.
Jin Zichu, however, did not sympathize with her and said rationally, "Your husband was arrested because he abandoned the child. As for being imprisoned, that is his punishment by the law. Naturally, the police and the court will sentence him. There is no such thing as asking me to let him go.
After handing the child over to the police, this matter has nothing to do with us anymore, and you shouldn't come to me."
"But our head of the family knows he's wrong. Now he's locked up, and the family has no labor. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive? Wuuwuwu~"
The woman buried her face in the child's quilt and continued to cry, which, combined with the baby's weak cry, was very sympathetic.
An older woman nearby said, "Girl, comfort the child first. Look how miserable the child is crying. Don't get angry when the time comes."
The woman held the child and coaxed her, "Nier, don't cry. It's because your father and mother are useless and can't support you. We wanted to find a good family for you, but... wuwuwu... Now that your father is gone, mother really has no choice but to leave us, an orphan and a widow, like this."
Jin Zichu thought his wife was still in the car and didn't want to continue arguing with this woman. He turned his head and looked at the street women's federation officer who had been watching the show for a long time.
"Women and children are under the care of the Women's Federation. She said she can't make ends meet. The Women's Federation can help find a solution. Oh, the city welfare home has had sufficient funding these days. If they really can't support the child, sending her to the welfare home should be feasible, right?"
He was just there to watch the show, but he didn't expect a huge pot to fall from the sky. The officer's face was not at ease either.
In fact, she and most of the onlookers had the same idea. It would be better if Mr. Jin could keep the child. After all, the two of them had no children. If he kept the child, the family would not be in a difficult situation and would have descendants in the future.
"This...she doesn't belong to our area, so she's not under our jurisdiction."
"We are all ordinary people, so how can we distinguish between regions? You can also contact the village women's director." In short, don't continue to make trouble in front of my house.
Listening to the conversation between Jin Zichu and the Women's Federation, the woman's crying stopped and she immediately said, "No, my child cannot be sent to the orphanage. She cannot be separated from me."
Jin Zichu's mouth dropped. "Oh? I can't be separated from you, I can't send you to an orphanage, but I can send you to my doorstep?"
Looking at the Women's Federation, if they still don't take action, then this year's donations will have to be discounted.
When the clerk received Jin Zichu's gaze, she really thought about the annual funding issue, and her hair stood on end. Although she had no idea about the financial backer yet, she knew that the person who gave the money should not be offended.
He hurried forward and tried to pull the woman up. "Okay, if you have any questions, we will help you contact the village and we will go back to solve it. It's still cold out, don't let the child get frozen."
The woman was afraid that if she delayed any longer, she would be taken away by the Women's Federation. She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Jin Zichu.
"Sir, I don't ask for anything else from you. Just keep Ni'er here. She's such a little girl, as long as she's fed. She'll definitely be able to take care of you in your old age. I swear, we'll never recognize her again. Please, sir, please keep her."
"No need for that. We have no shortage of people to take care of our elderly."
Jin Zichu stopped listening to her and turned back to the car. It was too noisy at Peking University and Tsinghua University today, so he decided to go back to Xu's place.
Seeing that the woman was still trying to move forward, the Women's Federation official called a few women she was on good terms with and together they pulled the woman back. "Let's go back and sort this out. If you keep making a scene, I'll have to report you to the police. If you're making a scene right in front of someone's house, you might end up in jail too."
After a lot of coaxing and intimidation, we finally got the person away.
Xu Manman looked through the rearview mirror at the crowd that was gradually receding. "They can't send it out secretly, so they plan to come openly?"
"Well, I've handed it over to the Women's Federation. If they can't handle it, Xiao Jin will handle it himself. Don't worry, Manman."
Even after returning home, Xu Manman's mood was not much better. Because of the child's matter, her mother didn't talk to her much during this period. Even if she saw her at home, she ignored her and her attitude towards Jin Zichu was not very nice either.
After all the trouble I've been through today, it would be strange if I was in a good mood.
When you are in a bad mood, delicious food will help you.
In the evening, Jin Zichu made her a spicy hot pot and pistachio ice cream puffs. The combination of sweet and salty, fire and ice, relieved a lot of the depression in her heart.
