Chapter 901: Finding a Suitable Supporter (Part )
Speaking of this, the three of them sighed again.
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but think of the parents who had lost their only children on Tik Tok.
I also recalled how confused I was during the time when my parents had the accident.
If it weren’t for the help of my parents’ co-workers and neighbors, I would have no idea how to handle my parents’ funeral.
After returning to school, with the company of my classmates and roommates day and night, I finally managed to pull myself out of the pain of losing both my parents.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue's nose felt sore for some reason and her eyes became hot.
She quickly lowered her head, afraid that others would see her miserable appearance.
Zhou Mingxuan had been paying attention to Liu Jingxue, so how could he not notice her abnormality?
But he didn't know how to comfort her.
When people are sad, the more people comfort them, the more vulnerable they become.
Xiaoxue is very competitive and obviously doesn't want them to see it, so it's better for him not to point it out.
Zhou Mingxuan winked at Zhao Junhao and asked him to continue.
Zhao Junhao shrugged and continued his story.
“Some people think this is not a big deal. After all, everyone has their own things to do and it is impossible to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day.
But if we leave it alone, maybe one day they will commit suicide.
After all, they are the parents of a hero, we can't just sit there and do nothing.
Someone then gave the two elders an idea, saying that their son passed away without leaving any descendants, and there would probably be no one to remember them in the future.
Let the old couple adopt a child on behalf of their son and raise him up. At least someone will remember him and burn incense for him during the Qingming Festival.
Because of their concern for this child, the old couple could not commit suicide again. "
"When the couple heard this, they were really moved and wanted to adopt a child."
"After the military learned about the couple's situation, they also said that if they adopted a child for the martyrs, they could get a martyr's child certificate for the child and receive a monthly subsidy.
Their son died, and they already had a pension, plus the monthly allowance for the child, which was equivalent to the army raising their child, so the old couple was even more tempted. "
After hearing this, Liu Jingxue no longer doubted the family's determination to adopt a child, but at the same time, she had new doubts.
"Then why do they want to raise a girl, and an older one at that?"
According to the thinking of this era, only sons can carry on the family line, so wouldn't it be more appropriate for the old couple to adopt a boy?
Zhou Mingxuan heard this and explained, "This has to be said about the wisdom of the old couple.
They are now in their fifties, no longer young, and are not in good health.
If they raise a younger one, their bodies may not be able to cope with it, and they may not even be able to support the child to grow up.
If they raise the child to a certain age and then die, wouldn’t that harm the child again?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue nodded in agreement.
If this really happens, I'm afraid the old couple will not be able to rest in peace even after death.
"So, they wanted to raise an older girl.
Firstly, girls are generally more sensible than boys, and they don’t need to be taken care of by their elders when they get older. They can even take care of them instead.
Secondly, as long as they can hold on for a few more years, the girl will be old enough to get married. If they marry their granddaughter off and let her burn incense to her father during the Qingming Festival, she will not object given the years of affection they have had.
If possible, and the family she marries is reasonable, it is possible that they will give her a few more children, and let one of them take his family name to continue the family line. "
At this point, Zhou Mingxuan looked at Liu Jingxue, "After hearing about this family's situation, Xiaoxue, do you think this family is a good fit for Daya and Erya?"
Liu Jingxue nodded in agreement, "It is indeed quite suitable.
Daya is eight years old, almost nine. Although she looks much younger than her actual age because she is scolded by her family for not having enough to eat, she is a good worker.
If they are the ones who support the family, they only need to provide daily food and clothing. They don’t have to worry about other things, and they can even help a lot.”
"It's just that it seems that the family only wants to adopt one child, but we don't want to separate the eldest and second daughter. If we want to raise another one, will they agree?" Liu Jingxue hit the nail on the head.
Zhou Mingxuan said, "Haozi and I have discussed this issue a long time ago, and I don't think it's a big problem.
The son of that family has been in the army for so many years and has never had a girlfriend, so he should have saved some of his salary.
The old man in that family is a working man and has not retired yet. He must have saved up quite a bit of wealth.
With the pension and the allowance for the children of martyrs, it should be no problem to raise one more child.”
"We heard from the team leader that Erya was usually taken care of by Daya, and Wang Dana's family never cared about her.
Even if they raise a second child, the eldest daughter will take care of her and it won't add to the burden of the old couple.
It's just one more person's daily expenses, it shouldn't be a big deal for that family." Zhao Junhao also said.
After hearing this, Liu Jingxue still felt something was wrong.
Although their speculation was correct, the decision was not in their hands, but in the hands of the couple, so they still could not make a decision easily.
"This family is indeed a good candidate, but we can't decide for them whether they agree to raise two children at once."
Liu Jingxue didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so she added,
"But just like you said, raising one more child is really nothing to them.
And if they are willing to adopt Erya as well, they will be able to get closer to the two sisters, and Daya will be more likely to remember their kindness and have a closer relationship with them.
Maybe after comprehensive consideration, they will agree to it.
It’s just a matter of trying to convince them.”
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It seemed that Xiaoxue also thought this restaurant was good.
"We think so too, so we'll discuss it with you."
Liu Jingxue smiled when she heard this, "If you want to discuss this matter, don't discuss it with me. No matter you or I, we are not the ones who make the final decision.
You should go and talk to the captain about this matter right away.
After all, we are still young and can't think as comprehensively as they do.
Besides, Daya and Erya are members of the production team, so their destination must be decided by the team."
She thought for a moment and said, "That family certainly wouldn't make a decision without meeting everyone. They would definitely meet the person to see if they are compatible.
Bring Daya to them to see, and persuade them to adopt Erya as well, it would be better if the captain and others could step in.
If you two come forward and tell them, they might think you are human traffickers, kidnapping children."
“Also, there is another benefit for the captain and his men to come forward. It will let those two know that these two kids are not someone they can just bully. There are still people backing them up.
The most important thing is to give Wang Dana’s family the illusion that they sold the person, but later not only did they not get the money, but the person was also lost.
The captain and his men are needed to help with the performance.”
After hearing this, the two of them felt that what Liu Jingxue said made sense.
Zhou Mingxuan looked at his watch and said, "It's still early, and we can still make it in time to tell the captain.
That family is asking people to look for a suitable candidate, so it would be better to tell the captain as soon as possible and let him negotiate the deal.
Otherwise, someone else might get there first and all your efforts would be in vain."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she hurriedly chased them away, "Then don't stay here with me, go find the captain."
