Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Second Sister-in-Law Adopts a Child_1

"Sigh, just take care of her for now." With this incident, what else could Mrs. Xia say? She nodded with pitiful eyes.

Jiang Rou was still following them, and after hearing this, she couldn’t help letting out a contemptuous snort of disdain.

This family really fancies themselves as saints!

They love to meddle in others’ affairs!

Just as Jiang Rou was badmouthing them, she suddenly fell for no apparent reason, plunging right onto Mrs. Du.

The next second, Jiang Rou lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself led by her hand by her sister-in-law.

She had become that pitiful five-year-old girl!!!

She: "..."

So, was this the rhythm of being reborn with memories?

Brilliant!

Truly the treatment of a protagonist!

Xia Ningxing!

I will definitely seek vengeance for myself!

Jiang Rou’s eyes were filled with venom as she stared at Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing suddenly felt a chill down her spine, sensing something was off about the little girl’s look – was it filled with hatred?

By the time she took another glance, Jiang Rou had returned to normal.

...

Although the plan was to take care of the child until she was healthy enough to be adopted by a good family, the sister-in-law clearly grew fond of the child in the following days.

Every time the matter was brought up, she was very reluctant to let go.

Because this little one was smart; although not good-looking, she was adorable, sensible, and knew how to charm people.

Jiang Rou: "..."

Nonsense, to stay, of course, I would do anything!

I still have revenge to exact!

When Mrs. Xia again suggested sending the child to an orphanage, the sister-in-law finally gathered the courage to say, "Mom, actually, I’ve already processed the adoption papers."

"What adoption papers?"

"The adoption papers for Zhao Rourou." No, she should now be called Xia Rourou.

"Are you out of your mind?" Mrs. Xia looked at her incredulously.

The sister-in-law struggled, "I’m sorry, Mom, I made the decision on my own, but I really like Rourou, this child. I want to raise her."

She did not spoil her daughter as extravagantly as Mrs. Xia, but she was fond of her daughter as well, and after giving birth to triplets, the doctors said it would be difficult to conceive again.

Plus, now there was this little girl who readily won hearts, so she couldn’t help but go ahead with the adoption proceedings.

"I can’t be bothered with you!" Mrs. Xia frowned and stormed off without another word about sending her away for adoption.

Now that the adoption was complete, if they were to cast the child out again, it wouldn’t look good for their family’s reputation.

Therefore, even if Mrs. Xia was unwilling, she eventually didn’t say anything more.

However...

However, Xia Ningxing discovered that the child was unnaturally clever; despite being only five or six years old, she could speak and act like a little adult.

And she had none of the childishness typical of her age.

All in all, she just seemed too strange.

Xia Ningxing had her suspicions, until...

There was still one week until university started, and Xia Ningxing was reviewing books in her bedroom when the door was silently opened.

It turned out to be Jiang Rou tiptoeing inside.

In her hand, she carried a steaming cup of hot water.

Jiang Rou, staring at the unsuspecting Xia Ningxing, suddenly had a look of icy coldness and resentment in her eyes, lifting her hand to pour the scalding hot water over Xia Ningxing’s head.

But who could have known that the car would suddenly tip over, and the cup of water ended up pouring on her own head.

Then, the water flowed from her head to her face and all over her body.

It was scalding hot water!

Even adults could hardly stand it, let alone a child.

The delicate skin was instantly scalded to a blur of flesh and blood.

"Ah!!"

Jiang Rou immediately let out a scream like that of a slaughtering pig, almost piercing through people’s eardrums.

Xia Ningxing turned her head and saw her whole body toppled on the floor, rolling and screaming hideously.

She frowned, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Who could believe that this child, barely five or six years old, would actually try to harm her!

The moment she entered the room, she had sensed it but held back, wanting to see what she was up to.

And then, through the mirror on the table, she saw her attempting to splash her with boiling water. Xia Ningxing had wanted to dodge, but the next second, Jiang Rou scalded herself instead.

She really brought it upon herself!

Retribution!

"What happened?" Mrs. Xia and the others, hearing the commotion, hurried into Xia Ningxing’s room.

Upon seeing Jiang Rou’s face scalded to a blur of flesh and blood, everyone gasped.

"Rourou! Rourou!" Her sister-in-law trembled and half-knelt on the ground, helping the child up from the floor.

Although not her own child, she had raised her for so long and did have feelings for her.

Her eyes red with anger, she accused Xia Ningxing, "Little sister, what on earth happened here?"

Already furious, Xia Ningxing’s temper rose as she was questioned, and she replied coldly, "I would also like to ask my sister-in-law, what exactly happened here, for a child to actually try to splash me with boiling water!"

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xia and the others were all stunned, staring incredulously at the prostrate Rourou on the ground.

Snapping back to reality, Mrs. Xia pointed at Jiang Rou, bursting out in anger, "You little beast! Damned dog! How dare you hurt my daughter! I’ll beat you to death!"

Mrs. Xia grabbed her and started hitting her on the buttocks, where there was more fat, and she was measured in her hitting, not worried about causing serious harm.

Jiang Rou, being hit, cried out in protest, "Dad! Mom! I didn’t harm my aunt! She asked me to pour water for her to drink, but when she saw it was all hot water that couldn’t be drunk, she got angry and poured all the water on my head!"

"She’s a bad woman!"

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing gasped, feeling as if she were enveloped in coldness.

Listen, just listen!

This child not only tried to harm her but even dared to slander her!

It simply did not seem like the behavior of a child!

Moreover, during this time, Xia Ningxing had noticed a slight resemblance in the child’s demeanor to Jiang Rou.

Could it be...

Xia Ningxing already had a guess in her mind.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Not because they believed Jiang Rou’s story, but because they simply did not believe it!!

What kind of person Xia Ningxing was, her relatives knew better than anyone!

But they were just shocked that such a young child could already lie!

Mrs. Xia was also stunned.

Shaking with fury, she put down Jiang Rou and pointed at her sister-in-law, "How did you educate this child, daring to slander my daughter like this, I’m telling you, if it wasn’t for her young age, I would definitely kick her out of the house!"

She knew better than anyone what her Bao’er was like.

Not to mention that she would pour boiling water on a child’s head, she wouldn’t even ask a child to pour water for her.

The sister-in-law was also taken aback, looking at Jiang Rou in disbelief.

"Is what you said true or false, your aunt is not that kind of person!"

Although she hadn’t spent much time with Xia Ningxing, the sister-in-law was clear that she couldn’t have done such a thing.
