As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man squeezed in from outside the crowd.

The man had a fierce look on his face and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.

There were two men following behind him, one fat and one thin, each holding a wooden stick.

Sister Wang asked the leading man, "Daqiang, why are you here? What did you mean by what you said just now?"

Shanian is observing a four-year-old boy.

The man called Daqiang pushed him to the ground and said, "Stop looking!"

Gu Jinlan hurried forward, helped Xia Nian up from the ground, and glared at Daqiang, "Please respect my friend!"

Daqiang's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and he opened his mouth to curse, but his eyes were attracted by Gu Jinlan's beautiful face.

His mouth opened, and he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

I just heard someone say that a beautiful girl has come to the village, and she looks like a star.

I thought the villagers had never seen the world.

Seeing this face in front of me at this moment, I suddenly seemed to understand what the word "stunning" meant.

Gu Jinlan stared at Daqiang coldly, "We are guests of the village chief's house. We came here to adopt a child after discussing it with the village chief and Sister Wang.

You barged in so aggressively and treated us so rudely and unreasonably. Are you dissatisfied with the decision of the village chief?"

Daqiang came back to his senses, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly explained to the village chief:

"Uncle, I don't mean to be dissatisfied with you, but you can't trust them!"

"Da Qiang, I'm not old and confused yet. Can't I believe it? Can't I tell the difference?"

Seeing the village chief's gloomy face, Gu Jinlan curled up a sneer at the corner of his lips.

She had long observed that the village chief was a man who was very concerned about his reputation and had a high opinion of himself.

He is extremely disgusted by people who disrespect him.

This man named Daqiang barged in so rudely that she only needed to provoke him a little to make the village chief feel dissatisfied with Daqiang.

Let them create conflicts among themselves first.

Daqiang said anxiously, "No, uncle, there really is something wrong with them. There are so many orphanages in the city, who would come all the way to the mountain village to adopt a child?"

Sister Wang said, "Daqiang, you are too suspicious. I think they are here to adopt a child."

The woman was bargaining with her just now.

Daqiang stamped his feet anxiously, "Have you forgotten the man who came a few days ago? They came at such a coincidence, maybe they are in the same group!"

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye looked at each other.

The man Daqiang was talking about should be Detective Zhou.

There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the village chief and Sister Wang when they looked at Gu Jinlan and the others.

Gu Jinlan explained: "The reason why we didn't adopt a child from an orphanage in the city is because we don't want to raise the child with great effort and then have him or her be recognized by his or her biological parents.

This kind of thing is very common in the city.

Coming to your remote place to adopt a child can avoid this problem."

Gu Jinlan looked at Daqiang and said, "Do you think we are stupid? We don't want to adopt a child for free from an orphanage, but insist on spending 700,000 yuan to adopt one?

After we selected the child today, we paid the money and signed a contract.”

The villagers who brought their children looked at each other in bewilderment.

A woman came to Gu Jinlan holding her baby who was only a few months old.

"Girl, I believe you. Please take my baby away. I promise that as long as you pay me, I will never go to the city to get the baby back in the future."

Gu Jinlan glanced at the skinny and sallow baby in the woman's arms.

"Your child doesn't look healthy. Maybe he is sick. That's why you are so anxious for us to take him away."

The woman was stunned for a moment and looked at the village chief and Sister Wang for help.

Gu Jinlan also looked at the village chief and Sister Wang, "I said, we want healthy children, you don't think we are stupid and have a lot of money, do you?

Since you don't trust us, forget it, we'll leave now.

Anyway, there are many people willing to give their children to us to raise.”

"Don't!" Sister Wang hurriedly stopped Gu Jinlan, "I believe it, Daqiang is just a very suspicious child. You don't have to worry about him. When Lingzi's baby comes, you will definitely like him."

Daqiang said: "I met Lingzi on the way here and asked him to take the baby back."

"You!" Sister Wang glared at Daqiang.

Daqiang said to the village chief: "Uncle, there must be something wrong with them!

I heard from the people in Lijia Village that they went to Lijia Village to send the body of the old bachelor back.

The kids from Lijia Village just took a quick look and came straight to us. It would be strange if there was no problem!"

The village chief frowned, took a puff of his tobacco, and did not express his opinion.

Gu Jinlan sneered and said, "The people of Lijia Village really hope that we can adopt their children, but we don't like them.

They must be unhappy, and naturally don't want your Wangjia Village to get this benefit.

I told a family in Lijia Village that if the child is not selected in your Wangjia Village, we will still consider their family.

Besides, Wangjia Village is right next to Lijia Village. If we don’t come here to take a look, do we have to take a detour to other villages?”

"You..." Daqiang couldn't argue with Gu Jinlan, and pointed at her anxiously, "You are such a sharp-tongued woman, there must be something wrong with you!"

Shi Ye strode forward and stood in front of Gu Jinlan.

A pair of hawk-like eyes stared at Daqiang.

Sensing Shi Ye's hostility, the two men holding sticks behind Daqiang immediately surrounded him.

"Stop arguing!" the village chief shouted, "Let me think about it."

Gu Jinlan looked at the village chief and said, "My husband's name is Lin Xuan. You can ask relatives and friends in Haicheng to find out about him.

Is there a young master of the Lin family in Haicheng who cannot have children?

The Lin family is very famous in Haicheng, you can find out by just asking around.

We can wait here. Your place is beautiful with mountains and rivers, and we are just here for tourism, so it doesn't matter if we stay a few more days.

Anyway, it’s getting dark and there are no hotels nearby.”

Sister Wang nodded quickly, "Old Wang, I think it's okay."

The village chief took another puff of his tobacco and looked at Shi Ye. "Your name is Lin Xuan? Let me see your ID card."

Gu Jinlan said: "When we fell down the mountain, the suitcase was smashed and the ID card was not found."

"Look!" Daqiang said quickly, "I told you there was something wrong with them!"

Gu Jinlan glanced at Daqiang and said, "Falling from such a high place, even the old man from Lijia Village died. Is it strange that our ID cards fell into the mountains?"

Daqiang wanted to say something, but Sister Wang said impatiently, "I think we should let them stay here first, and ask someone to go to Haicheng to inquire before making a decision."

The village chief nodded and said, "That's it, let's all go."

One woman asked, "What about the baby? Don't you want to see him anymore?"

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Let's not look at it today. We'll look at it tomorrow."

The villagers left angrily with their children.

Daqiang and two other men remained in the yard.

Sister Wang was worried that Daqiang and Gu Jinlan would have another conflict, so she took Gu Jinlan and the others into the house and arranged accommodation for them.

"You can sleep in this room and the one next door, but we have a custom here that couples cannot sleep in the same room in someone else's house."

Gu Jinlan nodded, "I understand, Sister Wang, can you bring the child from Lingzi's family that you mentioned to me first?"

"I'll go discuss this with my husband, Mr. Wang. You guys take a rest first." After saying this, Sister Wang left in a hurry.

Xia Ni'an closed the door and asked Gu Jinlan: "Are we really going to stay here tonight? I feel very unsafe!"
