Chapter 39 I will protect her with my life, even if she's out of her mind.

Grandma Qiao nodded.

She rummaged through several bags and shook out the clothes and shoes from one of them.

He held the shoes up to Fu Yu and showed them to her.

Only after confirming that they fit properly did he pick up the pair of adult sandals he had been wearing that morning and place them under the eaves.

This morning, we couldn't find any other shoes, so we found a pair of adult sandals for him to wear.

But it's already autumn, and it's still a bit chilly to wear sandals early in the morning.

She gestured to the clothes, saying, "These clothes need to be washed before we can wear them, Xiaoyu. Let's wear them tomorrow."

Fu Yu looked at Grandma Qiao gesturing in front of her, and then at the father and daughter laughing and joking together.

Something flashed in his eyes.

He quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions, and when he looked up, he had returned to normal.

"Thank you, Uncle Qiao and Grandma Qiao." After saying that, he smiled shyly at the three of them.

This was the first time Fu Yu had smiled in front of the three of them.

He was good-looking, but he had always been sullen and expressionless.

He exuded a ruthless aura that instilled fear, which made people less aware of his striking good looks.

Now the gloom on his face is gone, and the erect spikes on his body have disappeared.

When he smiles, his delicate, handsome face is simply stunning.

Grandma Qiao, who was standing closest to the child, was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "This child is really good-looking."

She softened her expression and said, "Good child, there's no need to be so polite."

As Grandma Qiao took her clothes to wash, Qiao Changdong came over carrying Qiao Qiao, who was licking a candied hawthorn.

Qiao Qiao was always thinking about the important matter of 'getting freebies', so she took a candied hawthorn from the bamboo skewer and handed it to Fu Yu.

"Brother Yu, eat."

"..." Fu Yu.

It seems that his image as a good-for-nothing is deeply ingrained in her mind.

Qiao Changdong came over to talk to Fu Yu about the couple he bought.

Buying and selling people is a crime, and both are equally illegal.

Once the case is solved and the couple is convicted, they will face imprisonment.

Now the only remaining question is whether Fu Yu should stay or leave.

"You said you no longer have any family, so where did you live before?"

Qiao Changdong looked at Fu Yu, who, even dressed in his nephew's old clothes, still possessed an outstanding temperament.

An orphanage?

"Or is it at the home of some distant relative?"

Fu Yu held the sugar-coated hawthorn that Qiao Qiao had given him, without saying a word.

His drooping eyelashes made it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

Before Qiao Changdong could say anything more, he saw the young boy suddenly stand up from his chair, hold onto the edge of the chair, and kneel down in front of him with difficulty.

"Uncle Qiao, I am eight years old this year. I am very healthy and have no diseases. I..."

He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and continued with some shame, "Could you... could you please adopt me?"

"I will be very diligent and I will help with housework."

“I will keep a record of every penny my uncle spends on me, and I will repay him double when I grow up.”

He raised his head and looked at the person in his arms.

"I will also take care of my younger sister. I will protect her with my life and not let anyone bully her."

Even if she's out of her mind.

Fu Yu was precocious.

Even at only eight years old, he could clearly see his current situation and predicament.

The reason why Qiao Qiao was admitted to the hospital was not a secret in the county hospital.

He only stayed at the county hospital for half a day, but he still managed to get a pretty good idea of ​​what happened from the nurses who changed his dressings.

In addition, there were the three days spent at the provincial hospital.

He saw how much Qiao Changdong doted on Qiao Qiao, and he knew how important his daughter was in this man's eyes.

Qiao Changdong didn't care about what he said earlier.

He believed that the next sentence would definitely move him.

Of course, Fu Yu said this partly to plan for himself and to give himself hope of survival.

Another aspect.

Every word he said was sincere.

Even if he had acted coldly before.

He also had to admit that from the first time he met Qiao Qiao, he had an inexplicable feeling for this little sister.

It was as if something in the dark was guiding him to her side, making him want to protect her.

Therefore, everything he said to Qiao Changdong was the truth.

really.

At first, Qiao Changdong's expression didn't change when he heard Fu Yu promise to repay the money.

When he heard him say that he would protect Qiao Qiao and would protect her with his life, his eyes changed drastically.

He scrutinized the young boy kneeling before him, whose back was still ramrod straight.

Much later.

Qiao Changdong sighed and said, "Get up first, I'll think about it."

In the past, Qiao Changdong would never have even considered it.

Regardless of whether he will get married or have children in the future, he feels that having Qiao Qiao as his daughter makes his life complete.

But Qiao Qiao's injury this time made him start to reflect.

His job is driving a sports car, and he spends half the year on the road.

Even if he loves his daughter dearly, he can't protect her every moment.

Although there are other people in the family, everyone has their own things to do, and there will always be times when they are negligent.

This is a bloody example.

If there were someone who could stand by his daughter's side at all times and protect her in his place, that would be the best thing for him.

Fu Yu knew from Qiao Changdong's words that he was interested.

Feeling happy, I couldn't help but smile again.

The little one in Qiao Changdong's arms stared wide-eyed, making Qiao Changdong, the father, jealous again.

Qiao Changdong did not rush to tell the Qiao family about Fu Yu's situation.

The matter concerning Chen Yulian has not yet been resolved.

If he were to say now that he wants to adopt another son, it would seem to anyone that he favors sons over daughters because he is dissatisfied with Chen Yulian giving birth to a daughter.

He was too lazy to explain everything one by one, so he just waited for Meng Zhengcheng's results to come out before dealing with these issues at the same time.

——

"Chirp."

"Chirp chirp..."

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"..." Qiao Qiao.

Early in the morning, she saw her five older brothers of different ages surrounding her bed, craning their necks and turning into woodpeckers, chirping at her face.

Qiao Qiaoren's face was numb.
