Chapter 454: Everyone Is Shocked. Is The Mo Family Going To Adopt So Many Children?
Jiang Jing and Mu Mu were both very moved. When Mo Beihan asked them to address him and his mother by their proper names, they immediately complied.
“Grandmother, Youngest Uncle!”
Mo Beihan nodded. He glanced at Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping and said solemnly, “Jiang Ping, although you are not part of the Mo family, your aunt is my sister-in-law. If you are willing, you can live with us in the future.
“You will keep your surname Jiang and you won’t change your name. You can just take it that I’m adopting you. In the future, you can live here. You will work as usual, and I will discipline you whenever necessary. I will treat you like the other children of the Mo family.
“Of course, you will have whatever they have. If you stay with us, then like the younger ones, you will address her as Grandma and address me as Youngest Uncle. You are the oldest and when I am away, you will have to help Grandma to take care of the younger boys.
“If you are willing, I will transfer your accounts and grain rations to the Southern Lake Brigade, and in the future, you will live with us.”
Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping were so moved they could not speak. After all, they were children in their teens. Of course, they dreamt of having a home of their own.
They had been orphans, with no adults in the family. If they met good people, their lives were slightly better. When they met bad people, they had no choice but to submit to bullying.
If their two younger brothers found a family and the family took them away, they would have been happy that the two younger boys wouldn’t have to suffer with them any longer. But in their hearts, they would be somewhat reluctant to see them go, and they would feel a little lost and envious.
They had not expected the Mo family to be willing to adopt the two of them too!
Jiang Xun immediately nodded excitedly. “I’m willing, I’m willing! Uncle Mo, I’m willing. In the future, I will work hard and take good care of the younger boys.”
Mo Beihan nodded. “Since that’s the case, you can stay with us! Do you have anything else in the Poplar Brigade that you want? Let’s go and bring everything back and tidy up, then I’ll bring you to register your accounts.”
Jiang Xun thought for a moment. “Yes, we have some old clothing and some food that I hid.”
Mo Beihan nodded. “Then let’s go and get it. We’re not that rich. Considering our circumstances, we cannot throw away old clothes. I’ll go and borrow the ox cart and bring you to the Poplar Brigade to get your things.”
“All right!” Jiang Xun was very emotional.
There were only ox carts available in the brigade. Mo Beihan went to borrow one, then brought Jiang Xun with him. The younger three remained in the Mo house.
Jiang Xun and the others did not have many things. Mo Beihan brought him back, settled the paperwork, and they were back by noon.
After lunch, Mo Beihan with four children in tow, formed an imposing array as they headed for Brigade Leader Jiang Feng’s house.
It was almost the new year and most people were at loose ends. Many of them were sunning themselves on their doorsteps. When they saw Mo Beihan leading four unfamiliar children, some of them questioned him curiously.
“Beihan, you’re back! Whose children are these? Are they here to play?”
Mo Beihan smiled, explained the children’s background and asked the children to greet the adults. Today, the children were all very moved. When Mo Beihan asked them to greet the others, they were especially obedient and greeted them compliantly.
They spoke so well!
But all the members of the Southern Lake Brigade were shaken!
Four more children had turned up in the Mo family?
They were not just raising their grandchildren, but also their grandchildren’s older cousins?
Mo Beiting hadn’t died but had another two sons!
My God, this Mo Beihan would be raising six boys in the future?
When they heard that Mo Beihan was bringing the children to settle their paperwork, everyone was shocked. The news spread quickly, and many people ran over to Jiang Feng’s house to watch the show.
