Chapter 70

After talking about the matter with Anping Village, Wu Boming reported to his father about the purchase of a bullock cart at home. Wu Xingbang had the same reaction as the Miao family before, and he was also taken aback.

However, Wu Xingbang was relatively calm after all, and just digested the news in silence.

Thinking of Chu Jingchen being able to contribute so generously for this family, Wu Xingbang suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Ah Tu, you said you were an orphan before, I wonder if you would like to be a part of our old Wu family?"

Chu Jingchen looked up.

Wu Xingbang said slowly: "I mean, would you like to be Huanhuan's elder brother under the knee of my boss?"

This child saved Huanhuan, so he can talk to Huanhuan in this family. If he is asked to be named under the name of the second wife, he must not agree, right?

As soon as Wu Xingbang said this, not to mention that Huanhuan almost spit out the big bone soup in his mouth, even Wu Boming and Guo Shi were stunned.

Guo looked at Chu Jingchen, but asked her father-in-law, "Father, are you serious?"

She didn't mean to dislike Ah Tu, but she already had a son, so she felt weird picking up such a big son for nothing.

"Master, is it because you don't want to?" Wu Xingbang frowned and said, "Ah Tu is a good boy, let him entertain you under your knees, and I am worried that he will be wronged."

Guo: "..."

"I don't want to." Chu Jingchen said indifferently.

He has no interest in his elder brother who is a little girl.

Wu Boming thought that he refused because of his wife's words, so he quickly explained: "Ah Tu, it's not that Huanhuanniang doesn't want to adopt you as an adopted son..."

"It's my own unwillingness, and it has nothing to do with anyone." Chu Jingchen reiterated.

Huanhuan was watching the play with her chin resting on her back, when suddenly, Chu Jingchen raised his eyelids and cast a sinister look at her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she said without even thinking about it: "Oh, lord~~ Brother Atu is already a part of our family, why do you still worry about whether it is recorded in my parents' name or not?"

Chu Jingchen said he didn't want to. Of course Wu Xingbang couldn't force him into the genealogy of their old Wu family, so he walked down the steps passed by his granddaughter: "It's what Huanhuan said, and I won't say such things in the future." Let’s talk about it again. Ah Tu, you can live in peace, and don’t feel pressured by what I just said.”

Seeing Chu Jingchen nodded, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Wu Xingbang's sudden thought just now would scare them away.

Before going back to bed, Huanhuan quietly grabbed Chu Jingchen, thinking she saw his thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Brother Atu, you don't want to be my parents' son, do you plan to live with our parents?"

Chu Jingchen took a deep look at the little girl in front of him, pulled his sleeve back from her hand, and entered the room with a cold face.

Huanhuan made a grimace at the closed wooden door.

This guy is afraid that she will see through his mind and become angry from embarrassment!

Before dawn the next day, Wu Boming drove an ox cart into the city with Guo Shi. Huanhuan did not go with him, but went to the upper reaches of the Zihua River early in the morning to cut green fruits.

Huanhuan had cut two baskets of green fruits and was about to go home when she suddenly saw Wu Huairen and two villagers sneaking into a bamboo forest in the upper reaches of the Zihua River.

Huanhuan had a premonition that this Wu Huairen must be hiding some evil intentions, so he tiptoed over and stretched his ears outside the bamboo forest to listen to the movement inside.
