Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Disciplining the Du Family_1

Xia Ningxing scrutinized the little one covered in dirt from head to toe.

Why does this baby look somewhat familiar?

Oh!

I know!

"This is Mrs. Du’s daughter!" Xia Ningxing stated unequivocally.

Seeing her so certain, Mrs. Xia and the others couldn’t help but be startled, "How do you know?"

"She has a black mole on her nose; I saw the same birthmark on Mrs. Du’s child before," Xia Ningxing added.

"So you’re saying the child was abandoned by the Du Family?" Everyone involuntarily shivered at the thought.

The second sister-in-law was even angrier, "I thought she was bad enough, but I never imagined she could stoop this low, not even sparing her own flesh and blood!"

"What should we do now?" Mrs. Xia frowned as she looked at the little one in her arms.

Although Mrs. Du was a beast, the child was innocent after all. Having encountered this situation, they naturally could not just ignore it.

"Go straight to the authorities and return the child to their family," Xia Jiehao said.

"But it’s clear that they don’t want this daughter; even if we send her back, who knows if they might abandon her again, or even kill her outright," the second sister-in-law added worriedly and fetched the milk previously squeezed into a bottle for the little one.

The little one was evidently starving and drank the milk with all her might.

Xia Ningxing nodded, "The second sister-in-law makes sense."

In an era that favored sons over daughters, too many girls, even after being born, couldn’t escape the fate of being killed by their own families.

Although Mrs. Du truly deserved to die, the child did not.

Sending her back would be like throwing her into a pit of fire.

Yet Xia Ningxing didn’t completely agree, "But we can’t just condone their actions either. We still have to report this to the authorities so they know that abandoning their child is a punishable offense. That way, even if the child is sent back, they won’t dare have other thoughts, and it can serve as a warning to others to prevent further cases."

"Bao’er is right, we can’t condone this kind of behavior," Xia Jiehao agreed with a nod, and then added, "Leave this matter to dad, you all don’t need to worry about it anymore."

When the police learned of the incident, they not only severely criticized the Du Family but also arrested and sentenced Nanny Jiang, who abandoned the child, to three years in prison.

They also took the Du Family as an example and held a mass meeting, conducting serious ideological education for everyone.

Because of the severe consequences, the majority of families who had planned to abandon their children secretly dropped the idea, fearing they too might be arrested and forced to do hard labor.

After this matter was resolved, to everyone’s surprise, the second sister-in-law’s childhood friend, close as a sister, had an accident leaving only a five-year-old daughter behind.

The little girl was skinny and unkempt, looking as if she hadn’t bathed for many days.

Naturally, with all her family gone, and those uncles and menfolk being worthless, not a single one was willing to take her in.

The second sister-in-law couldn’t bear to see her childhood friend’s child suffer and immediately took her in, but after doing so, she began to feel anxious about her impulsive decision.

"Mom, can we take care of this child for now, and once I find a suitable adoptive family, I’ll send her away, okay?" At this moment, the second sister-in-law seemed nervous and approached Mrs. Xia with the question hesitantly.

If she could, she wouldn’t want to trouble the family, yet she felt so sorry for the child, who had lost her entire family and was left all alone.
