Lin Fengjiao looked pained: "Brother Qingshu, I feel dizzy and nauseous. I want to get some oranges to calm myself down. I think I'm a little carsick."

Shen Qingshu glanced at the time, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "Okay, be good, just bear with it a little longer. I'll buy you oranges when we get to town. Where can we find oranges now?"

"Hmm, you could pull over by the roadside and pick some wild oranges. You can't eat them, but the smell can help relieve motion sickness."

"Ah, Fengjiao, we don't have enough time to travel. If we stop now to look for Juzi, we might not reach Yuncheng next door before dark, and we'll still need to find a hotel."

"Just bear with it, I'll buy it for you when we get to town."

Lin Fengjiao bit her lip tightly: "Well, I might feel better if I fall asleep. If I really can't hold it in anymore, just pull over and I'll go throw up."

Shen Qingshu nodded: "Alright, I'm sorry to trouble you, Fengjiao."

"fine."

After falling asleep with her eyes closed, the urge to vomit lessened considerably. Once they arrived in town, Shen Qingshu bought some oranges and handed them to her so she could smell them to relieve her symptoms.

We got back in the car and continued driving. We had to stay in the city after dark; it would be too dangerous to be out in the middle of nowhere.

Lin Fengjiao felt the car was going much faster and the bumps were more intense. She felt like her internal organs were about to be shaken out, so she quickly stuffed an orange into her mouth to chew and relieve the symptoms.

As they approached Yuncheng, the man was already in a daze, his eyes glazed over as he looked at people.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingshu's eyes flickered: "Feng Jiao, are you alright? Why don't we chat? That will make you feel better. Also, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Yes, I'm listening."

"I forgot to tell you something before. My sister Yueyao got divorced last year. Sigh, she has a hard life. She had difficulty giving birth to twins, and her ex-husband kicked them out."

"These twins are currently in my home, being cared for by my mother. My question is, could we adopt these two children?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengjiao thought she had misheard and looked at him blankly, "Ah, Brother Qingshu, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Your sister got married and had a child, then got divorced?"

"It's not a divorce, it's widowhood."

"...!!"

Shen Qingshu sighed, "Alas, my sister is also unfortunate. She thought she would marry a good man and have someone to rely on, but who knew he would die young? My brother-in-law died in an accident."

"My sister was falsely accused by her in-laws of being a jinx to her husband, and she was kicked out along with her child. She really had no other way to live, so her child is being taken care of by us for the time being."

"Do you think we could temporarily adopt the child, and then take him back once my sister's job situation improves?"

Lin Fengjiao had a headache and felt dizzy, and her mind was also a bit confused.

She was too weak to even get angry, and said weakly, "Qingshu, why didn't you say this when you were at my house? What can I say now? We adopted your sister's child..."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I still want my own child. How long will it take for your sister to take the child back? Can't she just send the child back to her husband's family?"

Shen Qingshu just looked at her, his eyes pleading: "Sigh, Fengjiao, I understand how you feel, but I only have this one sister. It's already pitiful that her husband is gone."

"If you let her raise her two sons, think about it, you're a woman too, how will she survive? You'll be her sister-in-law from now on, can't you do this for my sake?"

"Let's temporarily adopt these two children and call them Mom and Dad, and raise them as our own. My salary is high and I earn a lot, so raising three or four children wouldn't be a problem."

Seeing the pleading look in his eyes, Lin Fengjiao felt a pang of pity and reluctance. Raising a child is so difficult; after all, it's not her own child.

Even if you raise them, they won't be close to you, so it's a waste of effort.

But thinking about Qing Shu's situation carefully, it seems there is no better way. If they don't raise these two children, the sister-in-law can't raise them alone and may be driven to her death.

Seeing her sigh, Shen Qingshu knew the matter was settled and said earnestly, "Good Fengjiao, as long as you agree to adopt these two children, my Shen family will owe you a huge favor in the future."

"I won't treat you badly. You can keep my salary. From now on, you'll be in charge of our family. If you want to live with Mom, then live with her. If not, I'll take care of it."

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't mean to hide it. I was afraid you would blame me. If I had any other way, I would never have done this. My sister really had no other choice."

Lin Fengjiao softened: "Alright, I promise you. It's just raising two children, how old are they?"

"They're not even three years old yet, probably two and a half. That'll save you trouble. They don't remember much yet, but if you become their mother, they'll really think of you as their mother later."

"I don't have to suffer to give birth. I can just feed them and raise them. In the future, I'll have two more children to take care of me in my old age. Isn't that great? Now my two children are already walking and I don't have to worry about them at all."

Shen Qingshu sighed: "Feng Jiao, if you agree, we'll adopt them when we go back this time and tell everyone they're our children. That way, they won't be discriminated against when they grow up."

"You'll get pregnant next year, and then give birth to our own child. By then, the two kids will be older, and it'll be wonderful for them to have two older brothers to protect them."

"If you just agree, you'll save my sister's life and help the Shen family. That would be considered doing a good deed, wouldn't you say?"

Lin Fengjiao lowered her head and pondered for a while. It seemed to make some sense. If she agreed, the Shen family would owe her a debt of gratitude, so how could they treat her badly in the future?

"Okay, I agree to adopt these two children, but you can't just leave them to me. I don't even have any children of my own, I don't know how to take care of them."

Shen Qingshu said, touched, "Don't worry, Fengjiao. My mother is taking care of her now, and my sister comes back to help out occasionally. I won't leave everything to you, so don't worry."

"Also, could you please not tell your parents about this for now? If they find out, they probably won't understand me and will only blame me for not handling it well."

"Sigh, I never expected my brother-in-law to suddenly pass away. My sister's in-laws can be so heartless, they don't even want their twin grandsons."

Lin Fengjiao had no doubt about his words and said understandingly, "It is ruthless enough. We will treat the two children better from now on. Don't worry, I will be genuinely good to them."

Shen Qingshu nodded: "Okay, my Fengjiao is beautiful inside and out. Then it's settled. Once we get to the city, I'll quickly help you find a job in a factory."

"Let's settle on a job as soon as possible. I'll arrange a relaxed job for you, one that won't be tiring and will be respectable. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Yes, Brother Qingshu, you're so good to me."
