Chapter 1937 He Goes Crazy When Mentioned
Wu Ni could no longer hold back her tears and cried, lamenting that she and her sisters had been born into hardship, and now, to make matters worse, they were separated.
Dani started crying too.
However, both sisters were afraid of being heard by the younger children, so their cries were very suppressed and suffocating.
After crying until her tears had dried, Wu Ni, with her swollen eyes, suddenly said, "You're right. Giving them away is a good thing. It's better than living in this house and suffering, only to be sold again after death. Once Uncle finds a family to adopt them, we'll go and see for ourselves. If the conditions aren't good, we won't agree and we'll find another family."
Da Ni wanted to say that she was too naive. It was already difficult enough to find a family willing to adopt a girl, let alone one with good conditions. In the end, she might be abandoned and left without anyone to adopt her.
But she didn't say it aloud. She also held a sliver of hope that her younger sisters would find good families and good adoptive parents, and live a happy life.
Shi Lao Er has gone missing, and the village chief is heartbroken. He spends his days running around trying to find a family willing to adopt the girl, but he has visited several nearby villages and no one wants her.
Since no relatives were willing to adopt him, he went to the town.
The conditions in town are better than in the village, so it would be great if someone were willing to adopt them.
Da Ni waited at home for news every day, but before she received any good news, her husband's family arrived with their entourage.
Upon learning that her father-in-law had disappeared, the mother-in-law went mad. She stormed into the house, beat Da Ni, and gave her two choices: either return the betrothal gifts and divorce, or go home with him and sever ties with her family.
Da Ni knelt on the ground, crying and begging the man to let her go back later. "I'll go home immediately once my uncle finds adoptive families for my sisters."
The man was furious that she neglected her elderly parents and children at home and came to her parents' house to fawn over them, so he punched and kicked her.
Wu Ni immediately stepped forward to stop it and was also beaten.
Liu Ni is still at school and not at home.
When the village chief arrived, the man calmed down and threatened him, "When you took my betrothal gifts, you said you weren't allowed to go back to your parents' home! Either return the betrothal gifts and I'll marry someone else, or come back with me right now!" Since the woman left, the house has been in chaos. The elderly have no one to take care of them, the children have no one to look after them, and the housework is so dirty that it's unbearable to look at. They're just waiting for the woman to come back and clean up the mess!
Old Shi might be gone. If the bride price is returned, how will they support their nephew? The village chief immediately made the decision: "Da Ni! Go back with your man! I, your uncle, will take care of things at home. What else do you have to worry about?"
Seeing Da Ni covered in bruises, Wu Ni cried and pleaded with her, "Big sister, just go back with him. I'll take good care of my younger siblings."
Both children were her flesh and blood. Thinking of her young children at home, Da Ni could only pack her things and leave with the man.
Wu Ni stood outside the courtyard gate, reluctantly watching Da Ni's figure disappear. She wiped away her tears, returned to the courtyard, and saw the village chief. She wanted to ask him about the adoption but didn't dare to, thinking that she could just put it off for as long as possible.
The village chief brought up the topic: "I've asked around in several villages recently, but no one is willing to adopt the girl. I'll go ask around in the town." If a nearby village or relative is willing to adopt her, it's the same as not giving her away, since they can see her often. But now that no one is willing to adopt her, they'll have to ask around in towns further away.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle." Wu Ni said with a wry smile.
The village chief sighed and asked his sister-in-law, "How is your mother lately? Is she still talking nonsense?"
Wu Ni: "My mom is much better these past two days and can get out of bed to work, but she can't mention my dad." She especially can't mention Er Ni, because she goes crazy if she does.
The village chief nodded and walked away.
