Chapter 276 Husband and wife are of the same mind
Yueshan Building, private room on the second floor.
Gu Rao and Bieye arrived first, and when they arrived at the restaurant, they were led up by the waiter. Wen Mo should have greeted them in advance, and Wen Mo came back after waiting for a while.
Still holding a pot of wine in his hand, he walked away and said with a smile, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that my wife personally brewed the year before last. This is the only pot left. I usually don't want to drink it. Now that you are here, take it out." I’m entertaining you, but don’t think the wine is worthless.”
Gu Rao said amusedly, "In your mind, are we such superficial people?"
Wen Mo shook his head.
"of course not."
"It's just that I've seen too many superficial people with power recently, and I'm a little confused."
He sighed and walked over.
Open the jug and fill the three glasses with wine.
"Try it."
Bieye picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"tastes good."
The corners of Wen Mo's mouth quirked up.
"My wife doesn't like to drink, but she likes to make wine. She knows that I like to drink, so she specially learned this craft. Now my wine-making skills are getting better and better, and the wine I make has more and more flavor."
"This year's wine has been buried. I'll treat you to a drink when you come back next year. You can drink as much as you want by then."
Gu Rao raised his eyebrows.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll finish the drink for you?"
Wen Mo laughed.
"Not to mention that my wife made a lot of wine, and you can't finish it in one sitting. Even if you really finish it, it's still a good thing. If my wife knows that someone likes her wine so much, she will definitely be very happy. It’s worth drinking some wine to make my wife happy.”
Gu Rao took another sip of wine.
Influenced by this era, people in this era express love in a very subtle way.
There are even some men who regard doting on their wives as a shameful thing, thinking that being a local emperor at home is the only way to gain face. Like Wen Mo, he always talks about his wife, and in his heart, he is his wife. There are very few men who are surprised by the gaze of others.
Fortunately, her husband is no worse than Wen Mo.
Otherwise she will envy others.
The three of them ate and reminisced about old times.
Wen Mo told Gu Rao and Bieye a lot about what happened in the county after they left the county. There were some good things, but not as many bad things.
The further he went on, the less smile appeared on his face.
Until I mentioned something about Xiaohua.
Gu Rao asked, "How is Xiaohua doing lately? Has her adopter been found?"
Wen Mo's eyes were complicated.
"Looking for it means finding it."
Gu Rao knew from the look on his face that Xiaohua was not doing well.
Although I had already guessed in my mind, when I really knew the result, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
A little girl of a few years old was originally dependent on her grandfather. Now her only relative is dead. What will she do in the future?
"How is she doing now?"
Wen Mo continued, "That family was very good to Xiaohua at first, but I just recently learned that Xiaohua's adoptive mother is pregnant."
"It turned out to be a good thing."
"However, they adopted Xiaohua because they couldn't have children. Now that they have children, they don't want to continue raising Xiaohua."
"If I hadn't accidentally seen them trying to sell Xiaohua to Yaxing, and stopped it in time, and told them that human trafficking is illegal, and if they found that Xiaohua was missing, go to the Yamen to sue them, Xiaohua would have been sold by now. .”
As for where to sell it, you don't have to think about it.
Gu Rao didn't expect the situation to be worse than he thought.
Wen Mo took a sip of wine.
"Now that I have offended the county magistrate, I can no longer protect myself. I'm afraid that when the couple knows about my situation, they will still buy Xiaohua."
Somewhat self-deprecating.
"That's not my child. Am I being a little nosy by doing this? They are raising the child. It is their freedom if they don't want to raise it."
Gu Rao shook his head.
"Anyone with a little bit of compassion will not sit idly by when something like this happens."
However, this kind of thing is a bit complicated to begin with and cannot be judged as right or wrong.
From the perspective of the couple, they have their own children, and it is understandable that they do not want to continue raising children who are not related by blood.
Wen Mo nodded.
"That's all I can help. After all, I am also a selfish person. It is impossible to take her in on impulse just because I sympathize with her."
He doesn't have any children of his own, how can he raise someone else's child?
Moreover, his child is about to be born.
Everyone's energy and love are limited, and he wants to give all he can to his children.
Gu Rao asked, "Can you find another family for her?"
Wen Mo hesitated.
"It's not that simple."
"If she were a boy and there were no boys in the family, maybe they would be willing to adopt her, but she is a girl and cannot carry on the family line. She will have to get married when she grows up."
Gu Rao didn't know what to do.
Bieye's hand held Gu Rao's hand under the table, looked at her and said, "You can do whatever you want. No matter what you do, I will support you."
Gu Rao was stunned for a moment.
"really?"
Beyeye nodded.
"Husband and wife are of the same mind."
Gu Rao's heart suddenly felt full.
She did have the impulse for a moment to just raise Xiaohua by herself. With her current financial strength, she still had room for support, and it was not like she couldn't afford to raise a child.
But this impulse was suppressed again when I thought of Bieye.
She is not alone now. She cannot always do things according to her own wishes. She also has to think about her partner. If she does everything according to her own wishes and completely ignores her partner's feelings, no matter how good the relationship is, she will ruin it.
Relationships need to be managed carefully.
Bieye likes children very much. It can be seen from the last time when she was thinking of a name for Jingjing, he always wanted to leave a nice name to their future children.
Neither of them has a child of their own yet.
Although I have met Xiaohua's grandfather, he is a very kind old man who is easy to get along with, but after all, I have never even seen Xiaohua in person, and I don't know what her character is like.
If you have a good temper, you will be a family from now on.
What if you have a bad temper, are ungrateful, and raise an enemy, which is a thankless task?
Adoption is not a simple matter.
Gu Rao calmed down.
"Mr. Wen, please continue to find a home for her to adopt. I will give you five taels of silver for your hard work first. When you find an adoptive home for her, I will give you another five taels of silver as a reward."
Wen Mo was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved.
The smile on his face became more obvious.
"Even if you don't say it, I will continue to find it for her. However, I am really short of money recently. If I am busy making money, I won't have so much time to work on her affairs. If you are willing to pay this money, I I won’t be polite to you anymore.”
"Do you want to meet her?"
Gu Rao shook his head.
"Gone."
Originally, I wanted to meet her, but since I had no intention of adopting Xiaohua, I didn’t want to make the meeting more sad, and don’t give Xiaohua the illusion that I would adopt her.
Wen Mo put away the five taels of silver.
"If you don't want to see her, then just disappear. When you want to see her, I will take you to see her."
After a meal.
Gu Rao went out and bought a bunch of candied haws, handed it to Wen Mo, and said with a smile, "Lao Li Tou said before he died that he would buy a bunch of candied haws for Xiao Hua. The bunch of candied haws was not delivered to Xiao Hua, so I gave it to her instead of Lao Li Tou. Buy a bunch of candied haws."
