Chapter 034 034

Yu Shu was also startled. After he focused and saw that it was Guobaorou squatting at the door, although he didn’t break out in a cold sweat, the sleepiness was all scared away.

“Guobaorou, what are you squatting here for?” After asking, Yu Shu discovered that Guobaorou was extremely disheveled, just like the stray dog Sanmao in “The Stories of Sanmao”.

Who knows how long Guobaorou had been squatting at the door. Her hair that was just combed yesterday was a mess, her clean clothes that were just changed into were covered in dew, one shoe was missing, and the toe of the remaining shoe on her foot was worn through, revealing an embarrassed toe.

She hugged herself miserably, shivering as she leaned against the door. Seeing Yu Shu, her eyes immediately lit up, “Father!”

Seeing Yu Shu ask her, Guobaorou’s eyes were filled with tears as she timidly said, “Father, Guobaorou will be very good. Don’t abandon me again, you and Mother.”

Although children can’t distinguish between beautiful and ugly, Guobaorou’s parents must be extremely good-looking. So Guobaorou, only three or four years old, was as exquisite as a carved jade. Now her cautious appearance looked especially pitiful.

[Yu Shu and her are not short on money, what’s the big deal in adopting Guobaorou.]

The total word count of this book is: 1,155,280The bullet screen comments instantly changed direction.

[What’s not a big deal? Internet saints are really generous, telling people to adopt with a single sentence. How come we don’t see you donating money for impoverished children in disaster areas normally?] [Raising a child is a money pit, the effort and money spent is immeasurable. And it’s not that I’m maliciously speculating about people’s hearts, but how can you guarantee that Yu Shu and Yan Jin will always treat the child well?] [They’re not lacking money or time. Raising a child is accumulating good karma. Doing more good deeds in this life will allow being born into a good family in the next life.]

“But we’re not your mother and father.” Yu Shu sighed, “The county magistrate has already sent people to find your parents. They’ll come pick you up and take you home soon. And your birth parents would be very sad if they knew you mistook us for them.”

“I didn’t mistake you.” Guobaorou’s eyes were red, tears swirling in her eyes, seeming like they would spill out any second. “I’m not the kind of dumb child who would mistake my own mother and father.”

Yu Shu held his forehead and asked her, “Then tell me, what are the names of me and your ‘mother’.”

Seeing Guobaorou’s clever look, she should remember her parents’ names. When the time comes and the names don’t match, he’ll have evidence to say Guobaorou’s parents aren’t them.

Guobaorou lightly sniffed, “Mother and Father, aren’t they just called ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’?”

Yu Shu sighed and shook his head, “Wrong.”

No matter how smart, Guobaorou was only four years old. He still overestimated a four-year-old’s memory.

“How is it wrong.” Guobaorou was extremely wronged, “It is Mother and Father.”

[Poor child, auntie wants to reach through the screen and hug her, seeing her cry.] [When Guobaorou cries, her expression doesn’t collapse at all. This teary beauty look, Guobaorou’s parents must be really good-looking.] [What? Aren’t Guobaorou’s parents Yan Jin and Yu Shu, dog head.]

Seeing Guobaorou so pitiful, Yu Shu also softened a bit.

But he didn’t dare make the decision to adopt Guobaorou without Yan Jin’s permission. So he picked up the filthy Guobaorou to find Yan Jin, “Anyways, this child’s parents haven’t been found yet. Should we take her for a day first? When the county magistrate finds them, we’ll coax her to go back?”

Yu Shu said temporarily take for a day, not adopt.

After all, Yu Shu and Yan Jin both had strong personal boundaries. Although Guobaorou was still young, to let her enter their shared home, Yu Shu still had a bit of resistance.

Yan Jin, woken up by Yu Shu, slowly tidied her slightly messy lapels, “I know you’re in a hurry, but can you let me wash my face first?”

Only then did Yu Shu notice Yan Jin’s thick long hair hanging loose, her sleepy eyes, her lazy tone, clearly not fully awake yet. His ears instantly turned red. He hastily threw down a sentence “I’ll wait for you outside”, then ran away with Guobaorou in his arms like his feet were on fire.

When Yan Jin finished washing up, Yu Shu had also washed Guobaorou’s face. As for the filth on her body, Yu Shu wasn’t convenient to help her wash. He decided to have Yan Jin take her to the bathhouse later to wash thoroughly.

After hearing about Guobaorou squatting at the door all night, Yan Jin couldn’t help but look at her, “In the middle of the night, you actually dared to sit outside all night, how gutsy.”

Guobaorou heard the admiration in Yan Jin’s words and proudly puffed out her little chest, “Guobaorou is the bravest child!”

Yan Jin applauded, “I can see that, you’re really brave.”
