Chapter 177 What is adoption?
Because she knew that between the baby and her son, the third son would definitely choose to keep the son and give the baby to the fourth son.
I just can't let go of this shame for a while, and I'm a little reluctant, but it's only a matter of time.
Moreover, if she, as his mother, forces him to give his precious child away, she might resent him later and could even create a rift between him and the fourth child.
However, if it were Li Chunhua, his wife, who forced him to make a decision, he would at most regret it later.
Sure enough, as soon as they left, Li Chunhua said in a low voice, "What are you still thinking about, husband? Our son is going to take care of us in our old age and see us off when we die!"
Chen Jianye said in a low voice, "But our precious daughter is also our own daughter."
He had already abandoned his daughter once this morning, and he really couldn't bear to abandon her a second time.
If word gets out about this adoption, people outside might say behind his back that he mistreats his daughter.
Li Chunhua curled her lip and said dismissively, "That brat is an ungrateful wretch. She doesn't treat us like her parents at all! She just beat up my mother. When she gets older, she probably won't even be able to control her in-laws!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye immediately recalled the terrifying look in his little girl's eyes; it was not the look a four-year-old child should have.
Seeing that he remained silent, Li Chunhua became anxious: "Chen Jianye, you mustn't be foolish! How can a freeloader who loses money compare to a son who can carry on your family line!"
As he spoke, he pinched his arm, fearing that his own man might also be bewitched by that evil girl and give his precious son to the fourth son for adoption.
After all, in this day and age, men are the women's world, and women can't stop them from doing what they really want to do.
Thinking of this, Li Chunhua gritted her teeth and took a drastic measure: "If you don't agree to adopt that brat now, when Dad comes back, he might make us adopt a son to break the pot for the fourth son!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye's heart skipped a beat.
If he were the father, he would definitely want to adopt a boy to carry on the family line for his childless son, rather than a girl.
After a moment of silence, he lowered his head in a gesture of compromise and said, "Let's give the baby to the fourth brother."
The fourth brother is the youngest daughter's uncle. Even if he gets married and has his own children in the future, he shouldn't treat his niece too badly.
Moreover, the fourth son has a high salary, so after the family splits up, he can raise his youngest daughter to be healthy and chubby, so she won't have to suffer hardship and hunger with him.
Thinking this way, Chen Jianye finally felt a little less upset.
Li Chunhua beamed with joy and said, "Then I'll go and call Mom over."
Finally, we've gotten rid of that freeloader who was a money pit, which will save us a lot of food.

So that evening, after everyone had eaten their fill, Ma Xiulian announced the matter, "From now on, Guaibao will be adopted by Lao Si."
The rest of the Chen family looked completely bewildered: ...
What did they miss?
How come my baby was adopted by the fourth child after I was away from home for just one afternoon?!
Even Chen Dazhu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, after all, his wife had told him before that she wanted to give their precious baby to their fourth son to be their daughter.
Helian Jiao herself didn't care at all and continued to eat the last bit of food in her bowl very seriously.
In an instant, the once noisy main room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Only Si Ni whispered to Er Ni, "Second Sister, what is adoption?"
She was only four years old and didn't understand what adoption meant.
"I know!"
Chen Erbao suddenly stood up excitedly, "Adoption means that Guaibao will become Fourth Uncle's daughter in the future, but why can't Guaibao be my parents' daughter?!"
He was extremely dissatisfied. If his little darling were to become his parents' daughter, he could sleep next to his sweet and soft little sister every night.
So he said something that Gu Tingyun had always wanted to say but never had the chance to.
“Sweetie, come be my parents’ daughter.”
