Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Sold Daughter 23

Granny Qian changed the subject, then smiled broadly and said, ”I always said, Yuan Chun is a lucky charm; look, since Yuan Chun came, Xiaoying got pregnant, and with twins, hahaha...”

Old Man Qian was also smiling from ear to ear, ”Sangen, Xiaoying, when you have your own children, you must not neglect your adopted child like others do. You must remember, without Yuan Chun, Xiaoying might not have gotten pregnant; it’s the blessing she brings you.”

In the countryside, there’s always been this belief that couples who can’t conceive for years will become pregnant as soon as they adopt a child. Although there’s no scientific basis for this, many couples indeed conceive shortly after adopting.

Granny Qian nodded, ”Yes, yes, we Qian family aren’t heartless people; we shouldn’t dislike the adopted child just because we have our own.”

Ge Sangen promised, ”Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll treat Yuan Chun like my own, be a good father.”

”Yes, Dad, Mom, I’ll be good to Yuan Chun too. If it’s really because of her that I got pregnant, then she’s indeed a benefactor to Sangen and me. We won’t look down on her just because she’s not our biological child.”

The couple assured repeatedly, putting the two elder Qians at ease.

When Yuan Chun got home from school and learned her adoptive mother was pregnant, she was delighted, ”Mom, I’ll take over cooking from now on. You just rest when you get home from work, don’t tire out my two little brothers.”

That evening, Yuan Chun insisted on cooking and even boiled two eggs for her adoptive mother.

After dinner, she hurried to wash dishes, heat water, clean the yard, and even worked on the vegetable patch in the backyard.

Though young, Yuan Chun worked swiftly and well, and by the time Ge Sangen sat down to take a breather, the chores were all done.

The next school day, Tian Zhaodi pulled her to the back and whispered, ”Yuan Chun, in the previous life, your adoptive mother didn’t get pregnant. Did you secretly give her the Twin Pills?”

Yuan Chun nodded, ”Although the original owner didn’t wish for this, my adoptive parents are really good to me; I wanted to do something for them.”

In the previous life, the only regret of her adoptive parents was probably not having a biological child.

Tian Zhaodi grinned, gloating, ”This morning, my parents were saying over breakfast that once your adoptive parents have their own kid, they’ll surely treat you poorly. Many in the village think so too; everyone’s waiting to see you mistreated by Ge Sangen and Qian Xiaoying.”

Yuan Chun curled her lips, ”My adoptive parents aren’t like that; I trust them.”

Since Qian Xiaoying got pregnant, the couple have treated Yuan Chun even better, believing the child in Qian Xiaoying’s womb is the blessing brought by Yuan Chun.

Even the Qian family have shown Yuan Chun more affection.

During the New Year, Yuan Chun received more New Year money from the Qian family than their three biological grandsons.

”Sister, sister, this is my New Year money. I’m giving it all to you.” Early on New Year’s Day, while Yuan Chun was still asleep, she was woken by Qian Xiao San’s excitement.

Yawning, she opened her eyes to see the little boy offering her a handful of coins, as if presenting a treasure, stuffing them into her quilt, ”More than six dimes, you can use it to buy candy once school starts and still have enough for hair ties and clips.”

Yuan Chun rubbed her eyes, yawning, ”You’re giving me all your New Year money, what will you spend?”

The little boy puffed out his chest, proudly saying, ”I’m a big man, what do I need pocket money for? All my pocket money is for my sister.”

His adorable manner amused Yuan Chun.
