Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life Chapter 42

  Chapter 42 Lies will be exposed one day

  It was very quiet this morning, no one came to buy her goods, and it happened to be quiet.

  There are also beggars in the small town, and they rarely come to her stall to beg for it, because there is no one who can fill their stomachs.

  But today, two children came. Their faces were covered with dirt, and the thin ones only had a big head.

  The two children are about the same size and appearance. They should be twins. They look about five or six years old.

  They stood beside Qiao Mai, stretching out their hands, weeping.

   "Auntie, have pity on us, we haven't had a bite for several days."

  Qiao Mai looked at them and thought of her own past. It can be said that her life experience and that of the original owner were very sad.

   "Where are the family members?"

"Gone,"

   "No relatives?"

   "Yes, but they didn't care about us, and even took over the property left to us by our parents."

  Qiao Mai's heart moved. Looking at their thin and small appearance, he wanted to get some corn, but at this time, eating this food was not good for their stomachs at all.

  So she turned her head and called to the shop, "Xiuhong, Xiuyu, come here."

   "Hey, here we come!"

  The two came over, watching this scene, Qiao Mai ordered.

   "Xiuyu, go get a basin of water and wash their hands and faces."

   "Xiuhong, go to the restaurant over there and ask for two small bowls of noodles, and ask them to cook the noodles bigger."

   "Hey!" The two left.

   "Don't worry, you'll be able to eat in a while."

   "Thank you, Auntie!"

"how old are you?"

   "Seven Years Old"

  Xiuyu washed their hands and faces, and after careful cross-examination, she decided to adopt them after confirming that the two children were orphans.

   Watching the two children gobble up the noodles, "Would you like to follow Auntie from now on?"

   "Okay, we can do whatever my aunt tells us, as long as we can eat enough."

  She asked Xiuhong to show her the stall, put two watermelons in the back basket, took some of the same things from the stall, put them all in the back basket, and led the two little guys to find the mayor.

   It was the first time she came to the mayor's house, she stood at the door to calm down, and she knew the guards on both sides.

   "Do you have something to do with an adult?"

"I am busy."

   "Madam Qiao, please wait a moment."

  The guard came out shortly after entering, "My lord, please go in."

   Entering it, the mayor is sitting and drinking tea, and seeing Qiao Mai with the child, "Who are you?"

   "Mayor, these two children are begging on the side of the road, look at their appearance, if you don't save them, they will starve to death."

   "You want to buy them and come to me to go through the formalities?"

   "No, it's adoption, let them be my sons."

   "How old are you, and you're raising such a big son?"

   "Mayor, there is something I want to ask for your help."

   "Say it"

   "It's my household registration."

   "You can apply for household registration only if you have a house. Aren't you living in Mrs. Lu's house now?"

   "Then if there are any vacant houses in our town, I'll buy them first and put the household registration there."

   "Yes, yes, why don't you go to the head of Taohua Village?"

   "There are holidays"

  The mayor understood a word, and he raised his eyebrows.

"You and Lu Sanniang are friends, so I'll make it clear. Although I can talk to the people in the yamen, I have to use money to clear the way wherever I go. If I pass the village chief to move my household registration, I have to ask the officials to go to the countryside in person. Once, if you don't have money, you won't be able to please.”

   "As much as I want, I will get support from Sister Lu first, and I will pay her back later."

   "At least fifty taels!"

"Can!"

   "Then you come over tomorrow and give me the book of reunion and separation, and the names of these two little guys. You write them on paper and bring them to me."

   "Good mayor."

   "Implement the house as soon as possible."

   "No need, just settle on my house first."

   As soon as the voice fell, Qiao Mai knew who was coming, and Lu Sanniang pouted as soon as she entered.

   "My heart is really soft. I can't see children suffering. If I adopt them at once, I can only earn some money, and I will raise children."

  Lu Sanniang took out the deed of the house from her purse, and handed it to Qiao Mai.

   "The house deed and the land deed are both white deeds. There is no need to change the name so much trouble. If you are determined to save them, I, as a sister, can't help but settle down first."

  The mayor saw Lu Sanniang giggling, "It's really a rare visitor, I can't even invite you here normally."

   "I'm busy"

  Lu Sanniang touched the hairpin on her head with her hand, and then gave the mayor a wink.

  She glanced at the things Qiao Mai brought, "Hey, old man, you are lucky, my sister's things are all good"

   "I'm the mayor, and I'm guarding her stall. How can I lose myself? My servant often goes to buy her things."

   "Come on, I'm thinking of celebrating the festival, so I'll give you some gifts. It's easy to save, and we will honor you together."

   "You really slammed the door."

   "Who told you to be richer and more powerful than me, I can't hold your points, save my own."

  Your mouth is still the same, just like when you were young. When Qiao Mai watched from the side, he knew there was something going on between the two of you.

  The mayor looked at Qiao Mai, "I have to give me the land deed and house deed, and the official will not do it unless I confirm it."

  She hurriedly handed over the house deed and land deed, as well as fifty taels of silver notes.

   "Your Lao Mayor, these two children are twins born in the same year, the same month and the same day, one named Qiao Yunfeng, the other named Qiao Fengyun, they are seven years old, their birthday is today, the first day of August."

"Oh, I see!"

   "Thank you mayor, if you need anything in the future, just ask."

  The mayor gave Qiao Mai a blank look, "You have a good sister, you should thank her, I dare not order you around."

  Lu Sanniang glared at the mayor, "We sisters don't know each other. Thank you for everything. Let's go home."

  The two of them took a child's hand and left the mayor's mansion. The mayor sighed helplessly, then shook his head.

  Qiao Mai doesn't like gossip, even if she sees something, she doesn't intend to talk too much.

   When she came to the tailor shop, she bought two sets of clothes for the two children. Shopkeeper Lu followed her all the time just to cover her.

  If asked by outsiders, she said that she bought it, and the two children were recognized as Joe McDonald's sons.

  Although the lie will be exposed one day, but by that day, Qiu Mai has already established a firm foothold and is not afraid of those petty people.

  Back home, she boiled a pot of boiling water, mixed cold water in a big basin, took a hot bath for the two children, and put on new clothes.

   Dressed up like this, the twin brothers are actually quite handsome.

   They all have big eyes and double eyelids, and when they grow up, they will definitely be handsome men with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

  The two little guys changed their clothes, and they still feel a little uncomfortable.

   "Auntie, what do you want us to do? Please tell me."

   "Silly boy, my aunt doesn't need you to be your current person. In the future, I will be your mother, okay?"

   "Mom?"

   "Yes, my aunt will raise you as sons in the future, and I will never let you go hungry, okay?"

  Hearing the words behind, the children burst into tears, and they threw themselves into Qiao Mai's arms.

   "Mother, we have a mother now, we don't need to beg for food anymore, and we don't need to be hungry anymore."

  Qiao Mai patted them on the back and comforted them, "This will be your home from now on."

   "Mom, we will do a lot of work for you."

   "Okay, mother has a son to help, so she doesn't have to be so tired."

  After coaxing the two children, Qiao Mai vacated a room in the upper West Room, cleaned it up, and spread out the quilt.

   "The two of you will sleep here from now on. There is a well at home. You are still young, so you don't need to fetch water, and you can't get close to the well. If you fall, you will drown, understand?"

   "Yes, mother."

   "There are chicks in the east and west rooms, try not to go there, after you rest, mother will tell you what to do at home."

   "Yes, mother."

   "Next, go to sleep, my mother will go out of the stall, and she will come back when it gets dark."

   "Then shall we help boil the water?"

   "No need today, you just sleep today, take a good rest, rest well, feel refreshed, and then help mother."
