Chapter 176: Chapter 178 Let Me Think

The son she brought into this world after ten grueling months of pregnancy. How dare her mother-in-law suggest he be adopted out?!

Ma Xiulian asserted casually, "Because the feelings between the third and fourth brothers have always been the strongest since childhood. Right, third brother?"

Chen Jianye, being called out, stuttered, "Mom, it’s too early to discuss these issues. Fourth brother will definitely come back safe."

Among the five brothers, his bond with the fourth was indeed the strongest. But these days, who ever complained about having too many sons?

He couldn’t even bear the thought of adopting out his son, and he just had one at the moment. Even if he had several, he couldn’t do that.

The more sons, the more labor power at home. And there’d be no worry about who would look after them in their old age.

And if one of his sons made something of himself, not only would the whole family benefit and enjoy the blessings, but they could also bring honor to their ancestors. Even in death, he could meet with his ancestors of the Chen family with dignity.

However, Ma Xiulian shook her head, resolutely saying, "No! I’d feel unsettled unless we decide on this. I wouldn’t even sleep well at night!"

After she finished speaking, she added as if not making her point painful enough, "Your father holds the same thought."

Hearing this, Chen Jianye’s tanned face immediately crumpled.

How can this matter be decided now?!

He could cope if he ends up having six or seven sons. But what if he only has two or three? Or even only Xiaobao?!

Li Chunhua was also taken aback. Nobody could stop what her father-in-law decided!

Her son was her whole life, the apple of her eye. Having him adopted out felt like being cut to the quick!

Seeing the worried faces before her, Ma Xiulian felt speechless. They just cared about their son and completely dismissed her initial proposal to adopt out Guibao.

This couple was so biased when it came to their children!

Forget it, she didn’t expect them to realize this on their own.

However, before she could remark, the silent Sanni, suddenly asked, "Grandmother, would Uncle Si love Guibao the same way our father loves Sanni and her elder sister?"

Would Guibao, once adopted by Uncle Si, still be her real sister?

Staring at the anxious yet hopeful eyes of Sanni, Ma Xiulian paused, then replied with the most affectionate tone she had, "Of course, your Uncle Si would definitely love Guibao as much as your grandparents."

The fourth child was the smartest among all children and resembled her the most. He would naturally adore Guibao, who was well-behaved and understanding.

Sanni seemed to have more questions, but in the end, she merely murmured, "That’s fine then."

That was great. Guibao would then have a loving father too!

Li Chunhua, finally realizing the situation, exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, we agree to hand Guibao over to the fourth brother!!"

How could she have forgotten! It’s that damn girl who was intended to be adopted by her mother-in-law in the first place!

Ma Xiulian spread her hands, saying, "But the third isn’t willing."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua immediately nudged her husband, urging anxiously, "Husband, say something!!"

Chen Jianye frowned, grappling in a tormented tone, "Let me think first."

Hearing this, Li Chunhua was dumbfounded, What is there to think about?!

Of course they should hand off that damn girl to the fourth!

Has her husband gone out of his mind?!

Meanwhile, Ma Xiulian simply nodded approvingly, saying, "Fine, you think. I’ll go to the kitchen to check if the bear paw is cooked."

She then left, taking Sanni, who was standing by the door, with her, leaving just the child’s parents alone in the room.
