Chapter 455: I Have No Choice Either
Jiang Feng was shocked when he saw Mo Beihan leading four children and heard Mo Beihan’s explanation of who they were, and that he was going to adopt all of them!
“This... Beihan, have you thought this through?”
Jiang Feng could scarcely believe his ears.
Jiang Jing and Mu Mu were his older brother’s sons. No matter how difficult the Mo family’s situation was, they would certainly take them in. But Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping were not related to the Mo family at all.
If the Mo family took care of them a little, that would be enough. But to simply adopt them was unbelievable.
Mo Beihan was not yet married, but now he was raising six children and an elderly mother in poor health. Even if he exhausted himself, he could not possibly support so many people.
And he would have his own children in future too!
Before Mo Beihan could reply, shock ran through the crowd outside!
“My God! Is the Mo family really going to raise so many children?”
“Jiang Yingqiu has always been in poor health. How can she raise so many children?”
“Mo Beihan will have at least two children in the future, right? That makes eight children altogether, and an elderly mother who is often ill. He will die of exhaustion!”
“Wow, wow! Who knew? Young people don’t know how hard life is. He’s raising so many children, it will be a wonder if he doesn’t scare his wife away!”
“How do you know the Gu girl will run away? Don’t forget, the Gu family are bad elements. If Gu Qingyao runs now, she will certainly be in trouble.”
“Mo Beihan knows that, that’s why he’s recklessly adopting so many children. Gu Qingyao will certainly have a hard time in the future!”
...
When Jiang Feng heard these remarks, he panicked even more. This was exactly what he was worried about.
If Mo Beihan’s burdens were too heavy, how would he get married in the future?
Mo Beihan bowed his head and said somewhat reluctantly, “Uncle, I don’t have a choice either. The two younger ones are my older brother’s children. I must certainly support them. The children are so young and have suffered so much hardship since they were young. If I don’t take care of them, who knows whether they will make it safely to adulthood.
“As for Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping, they belong to my sister-in-law’s family. When my older brother met with an accident, it was my sister-in-law who rescued him. Also, without Jiang Xun, Mu Mu and Jiang Jing would not have survived until now. I cannot possibly take in Jiang Jing and Mu Mu without caring for Jiang Xun and his brother.”
Jiang Feng panicked, “But are you able to care for them? You have to think it through. This is a major decision. This involves six children! Is it a simple matter to support them? You’re already engaged! Have you discussed it with the girl from the Gu family? What does she think?”
Mo Beihan lowered his head. He had to watch his tongue around these people.
“Yao Yao did not expect this turn of events. She’s also worried about our future. But she’s a kind girl and very soft-hearted. When she saw how pitiful Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping were, and how they had no other family, she agreed that I could not abandon them.
“Uncle, I will work hard at my job and support the children. Perhaps Yao Yao’s life with me will be a little harder, but it won’t be forever. Jiang Xun will be of age in another two years and can work to care for his younger brother. With him, things will be much better at home. We just have to get through the next few years and Chengrui and Ping Ping will have grown up too.
“Yao Yao and I will just have to tough it out for the first few years, and things will be much better after that.”
