Chapter 326: 0326 We have no choice ah_1

Ellen Young listened to the whole story: "..."

What a twisted and bizarre tale.

The mere family tree could make one’s head spin.

Logically, it was far removed from any connection to Grandpa Young or Ellen Young.

After all, Hordy wasn’t a descendant of the Lynch Family.

But the fact that they could find their way here was proof of their persistence.

Ellen Young didn’t say a word, and the couple grew anxious, "Now this child is a descendant of the Lynch Family, and we have a whole household to support. Our circumstances aren’t good, and we simply don’t have the means to raise another child, with schooling and education, not to mention the mother ran off with a wealthy man. In our community, we can’t even hold our heads up high. What happened with the old generation is their matter, so you just take care of this child, give her a meal, isn’t that enough?"

The child heard these words and just glanced at Ellen Young, didn’t make a sound, and turned her head away.

At such a young age she seemed accustomed to being unwanted, tears fell down, but she didn’t speak.

The village chief grieved at seeing the child cry like this and sighed repeatedly, "Misfortune indeed."

But this was not a decision he could make; he clearly knew that Ellen Young wasn’t short of money to feed the child, but why should a young woman like her raise this child?

If there was a relationship, that would be a different matter, but this child wasn’t related to Hordy, so who should be burdened with this?

Considering the past involvement with the Lynch Family, since Hordy had the courage to cut ties, it showed that he had settled his own affairs, and Ellen Young shouldn’t have to bear the responsibility.

Ruffy Smith, who was listening in the background, clicked his tongue, thinking if it weren’t for his own smarts, he wouldn’t even comprehend this family tree. People nowadays really go to extremes to get rid of a child, dredging up such distant matters.

Seeming to know that the decision rested with Ellen Young, the couple looked at her and sighed, "If it was within our abilities, we would never resort to bringing the child here. But the gossip back home is too much to bear, and it’s a substantial harm to the child. Look, we’ll leave our last five thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, alright?"

"..."

Actually, it wasn’t that the couple was heartless.

You could see they still had a bit of conscience; after all, the child wasn’t theirs to raise.

Ellen Young found it odd, "What about the child’s maternal grandparents?"

The maternal grandmother was the daughter born to the Lynch Family’s fifth child who had taken another man’s fiancee, and it was only because most marriages happened so early that the generations had progressed so quickly.

"They were ashamed that the child’s mother eloped and lost face for them, so they moved away and we couldn’t find them. We can’t get in touch with her birth mother either."

They were the most unfortunate, having raised the child’s grandmother and, after all that, getting nothing good in return.

The village chief said in a subdued voice, "If our village didn’t have Hordy, would you have taken the child back with you?"

The couple exchanged glances, and the man, gritting his teeth, said with resolve, "We won’t hide it from you, if we couldn’t find anyone, we would have had no choice but to send the child to the orphanage."

Although they were relatives, it wasn’t their responsibility to manage.

There were many ways to abandon someone, and the worst was to simply discard them.

Ellen Young thought about how she and Grandpa Young were never lucky with their origins—destined to be discarded, and now here was another.

However, the best thing that had happened to her was meeting Grandpa Young.

With this thought, she looked towards the little girl.

The little girl probably couldn’t hold back anymore; she sobbed once, wiped her eyes, and still diverted her gaze elsewhere, trying to appear strong.
