Chapter 329: 0329 to Widow Zach_1

Lily huddled there, appearing very frail.

She also saw Ellen Young, and she lifted her head to see her.

However, upon seeing Ellen, she just glanced at her once before heading to the village chief’s home, looking somewhat dejected as she lowered her eyes again.

The people around were surprised that Ellen Young passed by without stopping to talk.

Not until Ellen Young reached the village chief’s house.

"Ellen..."

The village chief sighed as soon as he saw Ellen Young, "I didn’t expect this situation either, it’s just that Lily looks very pitiful..."

"I know she looks pitiful."

Ellen Young said with a smile, and even got straight to the point, "It’s not a big problem to keep her here, before we find her biological father, she can stay in the village. I will take care of the living expenses. But village chief, some things I must make clear, I’m too busy and simply have no time to take care of a child. I’ve never raised one, nor do I know how to, so I can only ask you to help find a family in the village willing to take her in. If you don’t agree, I will find someone else to help her find a suitable family."

The village chief pondered for a moment, "Are you sure? After all, she is somewhat related to Hordy Young."

"I can understand the decision my grandfather made back then. Since he chose to sever ties, there’s no turning back. She has no relation to my grandfather, not even by blood. The child being abandoned here is pitiful, and I am not heartless, but you have to understand, we don’t owe them anything."

The village chief understood Ellen Young’s approach.

Keeping the child here was also the best choice.

The elderly are kind-hearted and he hadn’t really thought through many of the issues, but upon hearing this, he nodded, "In that case, it’s also fine. I know you’re busy, a young woman like you has no time to care for a child. But since the child is already thrown our way, it’s really unfortunate. As for suitable caregivers in the village, if you don’t mind, Widow Zach is actually a very nice person, and she has been longing for a child for many years."

Ellen Young raised her eyebrows slightly, "Auntie Zach?"

Widow Zach was a household in Haran Village. She had been living with her mother-in-law ever since her husband died when she was young.

Her mother-in-law was elderly and had poor eyesight and had always stayed in the village.

She never remarried. Her husband passed away too early, leaving her without any children.

Though there were many who proposed marriage to her, she and her husband had been deeply in love, and over the years, she never had the intention to remarry, especially with a mother-in-law in tow.

For that reason, she seldom went out, and her interactions with the people in the village were minimal, but she was still a decent person.

Ellen Young thought for a moment, "We’ll have to ask Auntie Zach’s opinion on this."

The village chief nodded, "No problem, I’ll talk to her. You don’t need to worry about these matters. When she came yesterday, I really thought she was a relative of your grandfather. I didn’t expect such a distant connection."

What was key was the arrival of a child, and he also understood Ellen Young’s approach.

Ellen Young nodded and had someone go and speak to them.

Damien Frost also reported the news back, but it was just a trivial matter, and he didn’t quite understand, "We could actually send that child elsewhere, and you wouldn’t need to bother."

Ellen Young shook her head, "She doesn’t need me to take care of her, but there’s also no need to send her to the orphanage. If Auntie Zach doesn’t want to raise her, we can look for a family for her later."

Damien Frost nodded, understanding. After Ellen Young left the matter in the hands of the village chief, it didn’t take long for him to come back with a joyful expression, saying that Widow Zach agreed.
