Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Brigade Commander Lin pursed his lips, clearly not liking his nephew's wife at all.

"Lu Yan is a good comrade. Today, thanks to her witnessing the human traffickers committing their crime, and her commendable courage, the traffickers were prevented from succeeding. Otherwise, that little boy would have been sold."

"That little boy is a descendant of a martyr. If he gets lost, how will his grandparents live?"

"This little girl was also sold and then beaten all over by her current adoptive parents. If it weren't for Comrade Lu Yan discovering something was wrong, her future life would have been incredibly difficult. The evidence is all there; Director Zheng personally interrogated her. How could so many people be easily fooled by Comrade Lu Yan?"

Does she really think everyone is as brainless as her?!

Tang Qingxue didn't believe it. "Impossible. Those human traffickers are definitely in cahoots with Lu Yan."

Upon hearing this, Brigade Commander Lin closed his eyes briefly.

"Second Uncle, you don't know, Lu Yan is incredibly cunning," Tang Qingxue continued. "She'll do anything to win over Commander Zhou's family. Today must have been pre-arranged with others to get them to cooperate and make Commander Zhou's family look at her with new eyes. Otherwise, how come no one else saw it, but she did!"

"They're acting so realistically! Look how badly they beat the child! It's outrageous!"

Brigade Commander Lin took a breath. "Is it Comrade Lu Yan who is cunning, or are you two just cynical?"

Tang Qingxue's eyes reddened with grievance. "Second Uncle, I'm just trying to warn you. If Lu Yan were a decent person, how could she have a child out of wedlock? She's just trying every means to marry Zhou Yanchen. You've all been fooled by her."

Brigade Commander Lin asked them, "How many members of Commander Zhou's family do you think are fools?"

"Even if we take a step back and assume that Commander Zhou and his family were deceived by Comrade Lu Yan, it was their own choice. What does it have to do with us?"

Tang Qingxue opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute it.

Seeing that his second uncle was getting impatient, Lin Changjian quickly said, "Second Uncle is right. It's their business that they were deceived by Comrade Lu Yan. It has nothing to do with us."

As he spoke, Lin Changjian glanced at the frightened little girl beside him and asked casually, "Second Uncle, what if the police can't find her parents? We can't just keep supporting her forever, can we?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl shrank back and looked at them timidly.

Brigade Commander Lin did not answer his question directly, "Let's talk about it after we've confirmed that we can't find her biological parents."

He has no children and is well aware that Lin Changjian is an ungrateful wretch who can't be raised properly. In recent years, he has become increasingly disappointed in Lin Changjian.

But I always feel like something's missing when there aren't any kids around at home.

Perhaps he and this child are destined to be together.

Of course, if the child really finds her biological parents and they are willing to take her back, he will definitely not force her to raise the child.

Lin Changjian's heart sank. Although he felt uncomfortable, he said something.

"It's good that Second Uncle has a child. Qingxue and I can't be by your side all the time, so we feel at ease having this child with you."

Brigade Commander Lin glanced at him and said, "We'll talk about it later. It's getting late, you two should go back first."

Lin Changjian: "Okay, Second Uncle, we'll head back now. Please let us know if you need anything."

As Lin Changjian and Tang Qingxue reached the door, Lin Changjian suddenly turned around. "Second Uncle, if you're going to adopt this child, you should probably tell Second Aunt first. Second Aunt can't take any more shocks."

After saying that, Lin Changjian took Tang Qingxue's hand and left.

Leaving the compound, Tang Qingxue frowned. "Brother Changjian, what does Second Uncle mean? Is he really going to raise a girl who isn't related to him by blood?"

Lin Changjian was also uncomfortable. He had been compromising for so many years, was he going to be replaced by a little girl from outside?

Absolutely not!

"Let's go to the police station first and ask them to find the little girl's parents. If her parents want her back, then Uncle Er is not qualified to adopt her!"

Tang Qingxue nodded, "Let's go now."

After Lin Changjian and his wife left, the little girl stood in the middle of the living room, cautiously looking at Commander Lin.

Brigade Commander Lin bent down and smiled gently at her. "Child, shall I put some medicine on your wound first?"

The little girl stared blankly, neither nodding nor shaking her head.

Brigade Commander Lin didn't expect her to reply. He took her hand, handed her the incense stick, and had her sit down so he could apply the medicine.

When he took off his coat and pulled up his sleeves, his heart trembled violently when he saw the scars on her arms.

If his child were treated like that, he would fight to the death!

He picked up the ointment, looked up at the little girl, and softened his voice, "Child, this ointment will help you heal faster. It might hurt a little, but bear with it."

The little girl remained silent, simply staring blankly at him.

Commander Lin dug out some medicine and gently applied it to the wound. The little girl shrank back in pain, but didn't shed a single tear.

Although Brigade Commander Lin felt sorry for the patient, he knew that the medicine had to be applied, otherwise it would not only leave a scar, but also likely become inflamed.

While applying the medicine, Brigade Commander Lin chatted with her, "Child, what's your name at home?"

The little girl said in a low voice, "My mom calls me Erni."

Commander Lin glanced at her tattered clothes. "Erni, you'll stay here with me for now. I'll take you out to buy clothes tomorrow. We'll wait for the police to give us a reply, and then we'll wait for your parents to come and pick you up, okay?"

Erni fell silent again.

Brigade Commander Lin applied the medicine to her wound, took out his son's clothes, and told her to go back to her room and change.

Her arm wound is too serious, so she can't get it wet for now. Once the wound heals, we'll find a female colleague to take her to a public bathhouse.

When Lu Yan returned home, she saw Zhou Nuannuan clinging to Zhou Yanchen, "Third Brother, you didn't buy me any clothes today."

Zhou Nuannuan was feeling guilty when she said that.

Although no clothes were bought, it still cost Third Brother a lot of money.

Zhou Yanchen was driven to desperation by her persistence.

"I'll buy it tomorrow."

Zhou Nuannuan was overjoyed. "Third brother, take all the cloth coupons you gave out tomorrow and buy two sets for Sister Yanyan too. Sister Yanyan always wears the same two outfits. Sister Yanyan is so pretty, she should dress up nicely."

Zhou Yanchen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, but before he could speak, he caught sight of Lu Yan returning out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Yan walked over, holding Lu Yaguang's hand. "Nuannuan, do you want to buy a cotton-padded coat or something?"

Zhou Nuannuan: "I don't know either. We'll talk about it when we get to the department store tomorrow."

Lu Yan: "I know a place that sells clothes. They're cheap, don't require fabric ration coupons, and the quality is good. Do you want to go check it out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuannuan was so frightened that she quickly looked around and said in a low voice, "Sister Yanyan, we can't go to the black market."
