Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

“This…” Jiang Feng could not accept this. He was Mo Beihan’s uncle. Mo Beihan had finally had some small success over the past few years. He hoped that the child could have a better life.

The Mo family’s life had gradually improved, but these four children had popped out of nowhere. How would they survive?

“This… Beihan! You must think it through! It’s not so easy to raise children. Look at your mother. Her health has been damaged because she had to support you and your older brother. You must not exhaust yourself!”

Mo Beihan looked solemn and bowed his head. He nodded helplessly and somewhat hopelessly. “I know. But I have no choice. My older brother is no longer with us. I’m the only grown man in the family. If I… I don’t take care of them, who will?”

Jiang Feng took a deep breath. He was completely speechless. He just felt that Mo Beihan’s life was too hard.

“This is such an important matter. As your uncle, I hope you will go back and carefully consider it! Think about how you will raise these six children. They are all so young. How many years will you have to support them before they grow up? I am a little busy right now and have no time to go through the paperwork with you. Come back in two days!”

Jiang Feng was giving him an opportunity to go back and think things through.

Mo Beihan was not stupid. In public, he could not show that he could raise all these children effortlessly. He remained silent for a long time before nodding and bringing the children home.

The people around looked at them as they continued to discuss whether Mo Beihan would adopt the children in the end.

Most of them felt that he would not.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping returned to the Mo house with Mo Beihan in fear and trembling.

When Jiang Yingqiu saw that they had returned home so quickly, she asked, “What’s the matter?”

Mo Beihan recounted what had happened.

Jiang Yingqiu frowned.

Mo Beihan looked at Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping. “Go and make your beds. All of you will sleep in one room. Also, Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping, for the next few days, you have to tread gingerly in the Mo house. You must be especially eager to please your grandma. You must not only do that, you must let everyone see what you’re doing.

“I won’t bring you to register your accounts for now. We’ll wait awhile. Anyway, we’re in the middle of winter, and there’s nothing much to do. As long as we complete it before the spring planting next year, it will be alright.”

Jiang Xun was taken aback. Jiang Ping did not know how to respond.

Mo Beihan looked at Jiang Yingqiu. “Mother, over the next few days, you must go out and sun yourself. Talk to the others and whatever you do, don’t look too happy and carefree. You must look troubled and sigh often. When Jiang Xun comes over to try to please you, you must pretend to feel helpless and conflicted and show that you can’t harden your heart against him.

“In short, you have to let everyone know that the Mo family is hesitating over whether to adopt Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping or not. You’re worried that so many children suddenly turned up, but you must not allow them to think we can raise so many children. Otherwise, over time, many infants may turn up at our doorstep. If you don’t take them in then, others will criticize you.”

Jiang Yingqiu was shocked!

“What?”

Mo Beihan said, “I’m not joking. I just thought of it. Fortunately, Uncle asked me to come back and reconsider, so I took the opportunity and came home.

“There were so many people there, and I saw that they really responded very sharply. Mother, it’s not easy to survive in these times. Many people are hungry! People can barely raise their own children. Who would adopt other people’s children like we’re doing?”
