Soon other villagers gathered around.

The men's eyes fell on Gu Jinlan.

But the women's eyes fell on Shi Ye.

This was the first time they had seen such young men and women with outstanding looks and temperament.

Shi Ye said: "We are from a coastal city. We heard from this girl that many villages here are willing to send their children away for adoption, so we came to take a look."

The village chief looked at Xia Ni'an with a puzzled look: "Which village are you from?"

Xia Nian kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything. She pretended to be a timid and dumb person as Gu Jinlan had instructed her to do.

Gu Jinlan said quickly, "She is from Gejia Village, eight kilometers away. We originally wanted to adopt a child in Gejia Village, but we didn't see anyone suitable. So we asked her to lead the way for us, and that's how we found this place. The small path here is too hard to find."

Among the villagers who were watching, someone immediately shouted, "They just came from Lijia Village and have already looked around there."

Hearing this, the village chief nodded, and the wariness in his eyes immediately disappeared.

The middle-aged woman next to him asked, "Why didn't you like it?"

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Most of the children they want to send away are girls, but my husband and I want to adopt a boy.

After all, girls will get married in the future and cannot be successors.

Do you have any boys you want to send away? If not, we will have to go to the next village and ask."

She and Shanian were both looking for boys.

When Detective Zhou found this place, she had already alarmed the adoptive parents of the child she was looking for.

Maybe they will take the initiative to sell the child, which can solve a problem and earn some money.

The onlookers did not answer Gu Jinlan, but were talking in low voices.

He probably wanted to wait for the village chief to nod before expressing his opinion.

The village chief looked at Shi Ye again and said, "Looking for a successor? Is your family well off?"

Shi Ye looked arrogant and asked, "Do I look like I'm in bad condition?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged woman quickly nudged the village chief with her elbow and said, "Old Wang, what are you looking at? This handsome guy is so fair and tender, and he looks like a rich young master in the city."

Gu Jinlan smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Village Chief. My husband has been pampered since he was a child and has a bad temper. Please don't bother with him."

Shi Ye frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Jinlan.

She is quite good at dealing with these people.

The middle-aged woman said, "It's okay. It's just that my old Wang is short-sighted and has never seen the young master in the city."

Gu Jinlan looked at the middle-aged woman, "Sister, you are..."

"I'm Lao Wang's wife, you can just call me Sister Wang."

"Hello, Sister Wang. Are there any suitable children in your village? We are in a hurry to go back. If there is no suitable one, we will not bother you anymore."

Sister Wang said quickly, "Yes! Of course there are suitable ones! If I had a child, I would also be willing to take him to the city for you to enjoy life, but...

Every child is born with much hardship, we can’t just give them away for nothing, right?”

"That's natural." Gu Jinlan nodded, "Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, we definitely can't take the child away for nothing, we will give adoption fees.

We didn't mention the adoption fee before because we were afraid you would misunderstand that we were here to buy a child.

Now we live in a society ruled by law, and we dare not engage in child trafficking."

Hearing this, Sister Wang and the village chief looked at each other.

Then Sister Wang asked, "How much adoption fee are you going to give?"

Gu Jinlan said, "Five hundred thousand, do you think that's enough?"

"Five hundred thousand?" Sister Wang's eyes lit up.

Then his eyes rolled, "Isn't it a bit stingy for a rich person in the city to want to adopt a child for half a million? That's a life."

A sneer quietly slipped across Gu Jinlan's lips.

Sister Wang suddenly changed her tone. She must have thought that since she was so willing to give 500,000 yuan, she would definitely want more.

But if you give them too much at once, it will make them suspicious.

Gu Jinlan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Then... at most 700,000 yuan, no more. Along the way, many families are willing to give their girls to us for free."

Sister Wang sneered, "Girls are definitely different from boys. If you don't take good care of them, they'll just be a money-losing commodity. Of course, we're willing to give them away for free. There's one less person to feed."

Gu Jinlan asked, "Do you think 700,000 is enough? This is the only budget we have."

Sister Wang exchanged glances with the village chief again and pretended to be reluctant. "Okay, 700,000 is 700,000."

Hearing this, the villagers watching became excited.

Gu Jinlan continued to make demands: "But it has to be someone we can choose. I want a healthy boy under five years old. Anyone over five years old cannot be raised well and is not suitable."

"No problem!" Sister Wang nodded readily.

After a conversation, I was completely convinced that Gu Jinlan and the others were really here to adopt a child.

She turned to the villagers who were watching and said loudly, "Did you all hear that? Go back and discuss it. If anyone is willing, send it to my house for them to choose from."

Some villagers dispersed.

"Let's go, sit in our room and have some tea first." Sister Wang called.

"Wait a minute!" The village chief suddenly asked, looking at Shi Ye and Gu Jinlan, "Why do you want to adopt a child?"

Gu Jinlan sighed, looking gloomy, "We can't give birth, there's nothing we can do..."

The village chief looked at Gu Jinlan, then at Shi Ye: "Which of you can't give birth?"

Sister Wang said: "Do you still need to ask? It must be that this handsome guy can't have a baby. The IVF technology in the city is very good now.

As long as the man's sperm is fine, you can have a baby. If there is a problem with the sperm, there is nothing you can do."

Shi Ye's brows sank and he was about to say something.

Gu Jinlan quickly and quietly pulled his sleeve and nodded, "Indeed, it's my husband who can't give birth."

“???” Shi Ye turned and looked at Gu Jinlan.

Those girls who wanted to stick their eyes to Shi Ye shook their heads regretfully and most of them turned around and left.

"You're so tall, but you can't even give birth to a child. No wonder you have such a bad temper." The village chief smiled and turned away.

"Oh, what a pity." Sister Wang looked at Shi Ye regretfully, shook her head, and turned away.

A layer of gloom suddenly welled up in Shi Ye's eyes, and his breath rose to his throat.

Gu Jinlan quickly grabbed his hand and said in a low voice:

"I said you couldn't have children because it was for your own good. Do you want to be left behind as a seed drill? Didn't you see the way those women looked at you? They were like wolves and tigers."

Shi Ye frowned, "So I still have to thank you?"

But he would rather say that she was infertile.

The way those men looked at her was so direct that it made him very uncomfortable.

He really regretted agreeing to let her come along!

"You're welcome!" Gu Jinlan took Shi Ye's hand and hurriedly followed the village chief and Sister Wang.

Shanian stood close to them, "Would you like some tea later?"

Gu Jinlan nodded: "Yes, they have believed our purpose and now they just want to sell the child to make money. They won't drug him."

In front, Sister Wang looked back at Gu Jinlan and the others and asked in a low voice:

"Old Wang, why don't you bring the kid here and let them choose one? The kid is good-looking, maybe they will like him at first sight."
