Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 177 - 179: What is Adoption?

Chapter 177: Chapter 179: What is Adoption?

Because she knew that between Guibao and his son, her third son would definitely choose to keep his son and adopt Guibao out to the fourth son.

She was just not able to swallow her pride at the moment and there was a bit of reluctance, but it was only a matter of time.

Furthermore, if she, as a mother, forced him to adopt Guibao out, he might blame her later and possibly create tension with the fourth son.

However, if it was his daughter-in-law, Li Chunhua, who forced him to make up his mind, he would at most regret it later.

Sure enough, as soon as they were gone, Li Chunhua said in a raised voice, "What else are you thinking about? Our son is the one who is going to support us in our old age!"

Chen Jianye said in a deep voice, "But Guibao is also our flesh and blood."

He had already abandoned his daughter once this morning, and he couldn’t bear to do it a second time.

Once the adoption news got out, people outside might even say he was being harsh to his daughter.

Li Chunhua, however, showed a face of disdain, "That damn girl is a thankless wretch. She doesn’t respect us at all! She even hit my mother just now. If she gets any older, she might not even listen to her in-laws!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye was immediately reminded of his little daughter’s terrifying gaze, which was not something a four-year-old should have.

Seeing that he remained silent, Li Chunhua became anxious, "Chen Jianye, don’t make a mistake! A parasite that costs us money can’t compare to a son who can carry on your lineage!"

As she said this, she pinched his arm hard, fearing that her own husband had also been bewitched by the damn girl, and would hand over their precious son to the fourth son.

After all, in this era, men are women’s world. If they really want to do something, women can’t stop it.

Thinking about this, Li Chunhua gritted her teeth and laid down an ultimatum, "If you don’t agree to adopt out that damn girl now, when my father comes back, he might even force us to send our son to the fourth!"

When Jianye heard this, his heart sank.

If he was the father, he would definitely want to adopt a son for his childless son, someone who can continue the family line, rather than a girl.

After a moment of silence, he compromised and lowered his head, "Let’s adopt Guibao out to the fourth."

The fourth was the little girl’s biological uncle. Even if he gets married and has his own children in the future, he shouldn’t treat his niece poorly.

With the fourth’s high salary, once the property was divided, he would be able to raise the girl fat and plump, and she wouldn’t have to suffer with him.

With this in mind, Chen Jianye felt a little better.

Li Chunhua was filled with joy and said, "I’ll call my mom."

Finally, she was able to get rid of a wasteful parasite, which would save a lot of food.

So, that evening after everyone had had their fill, Ma Xiulian announced, "From now on, Guibao will be adopted by the fourth."

The rest of the Chen family looked bemused:...

What were they missing?

How was it that Guibao was adopted by the fourth son after they were gone for the afternoon?!

Even Chen Dazhu was stunned, but soon regained his composure. After all, his wife had previously told him that she wanted to have Guibao adopted by the fourth son to be their daughter.

Helian Qiao, on the other hand, was indifferent, still seriously eating the last bit of food in her bowl.

For a moment, the noisy main room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only Sini asked Erni in a low voice, "What does adoption mean, sister?"

She was only four years old and didn’t understand what adoption meant.

"I know!"

Chen Erbao suddenly stood up with an excited look on his face, "Adoption means that Guibao will become Fourth Uncle’s daughter from now on, but why can’t Guibao be my parents’ daughter?!"

He was very dissatisfied in his heart. If Guibao became his parents’ daughter, he would be able to sleep next to his soft and sweet-smelling sister every night.

Thus, he said what Gu Tingyun had always wanted to say but never had the chance to.

"Guibao, come be my parents’ daughter."
