Chapter 4 Pampering You in the Palm of My Hand_1
"The stars in the sky..."
The villager who asked the question smiled obligingly and said, "Wow, that name is so lovely. From now on, you must really cherish this little one in the palm of your hands!"
Shen Wenru grinned with delight and said, "Indeed, haven't we been blessed by the heavens with this little treasure? She is meant to be cherished by us, to become the happiest child in this world."
"Hahaha, this child has landed in a fortunate home..."
Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia greeted the villagers with smiles all the way back to the entrance of their courtyard. From a distance, they could see Shen Wenru's sister-in-law, Ma Hongying, carrying a basin of dirty water outside. She was about to spill it on the gravel path at the entrance, a way to prevent dust from rising near their home.
Ma Hongying looked up, spotted Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia returning, and called out to them with a smile, "I guessed you'd be back in a day or two. Why didn't you call your brother at the brigade to let him know you were coming? He could have come to pick you up!"
Hearing his sister-in-law Ma Hongying's words, Shen Wenru replied with a simple smile, "Nowadays, transportation is so convenient, there's no need to trouble my brother to come out. Look, we just took the bus back."
Ma Hongying laughed heartily and said, "That's true. You better hurry inside and tidy up. I've already cleaned everything up for you. Once you've rested, come over to our place for dinner. By the way, where did this child come from?"
Seeing Ma Hongying's attention shift to little Tianxing in Li Xiuxia's arms, Shen Wenru explained, "This child, we found her abandoned at the side of the road. We don't have kids of our own, so we decided to adopt her as if she were our biological child."
Ma Hongying uncovered the blanket wrapped around little Tianxing, and seeing the sweetly sleeping child nestled in Li Xiuxia's arms, who was quite pretty and adorable, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of mentality the family that abandoned this child had. It was just too cruel!
Ma Hongying, full of compassion, said, "Now that you've brought her back, take good care of her. It turns out to be perfect timing; all of our families only have boys and no girls. Now with this child, we finally have a girl to dote on in our families, don't we?"
