"Dad, try today's pig lung. Is it delicious?" Yun Yiyi, who was standing next to her, put a large piece of chopped pig lung on Yun the butcher's steamed bun.
Butcher Yun took a big bite of the steamed bun and the pig lung.
He waited until he had finished eating before he expressed his opinion.
"Yes, the pig lungs we cooked today were cooked to the perfect temperature and tasted especially delicious."
"Dad, then you eat more." Yun Yiyi said as she helped Yun the butcher pick up a few slices of pig lungs and put them on the steamed bun.
"I'll serve it myself. Yiyi, you've become thinner. You should eat more pig lungs to replenish your body." Yun the butcher said with concern.
"Dad, I'm so fat, and you still say I'm thin. Aren't you afraid that Brother Zirui will laugh at me?" Yun Yiyi said and rolled her eyes at Yun the Butcher.
"We are all family, who would laugh at you? Besides, how many pounds have you lost compared to before?" As Yun the butcher spoke, he felt something was wrong.
He seemed to have heard Yun Yiyi calling Zirui just now. He remembered that no one in the family had this name. He looked up and saw a handsome boy in the family.
"Wife, how come there is a new child in our family? Which family is he from? I don't remember there being such a child in our village?"
After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he thought about it seriously and realized that there really wasn't any.
"Boss, I forgot to tell you that this child is Xie Zirui. He is seven years old this year, just one year older than our Yiyi."
"Okay, Zirui, eat quickly. We can talk after dinner." When Yun the Butcher saw that Xie Zirui didn't want to eat, he said directly.
Xie Zirui then picked up the steamed buns and chopsticks and continued to eat. Although the steamed buns were not as delicious as the ones he had eaten in the mansion before, and the dishes were also simple farm dishes, Xie Zirui was very happy to eat them.
They hadn't had such normal meals for a long time since they fled from the famine. Even if he and his wet nurse tried to eat frugally, they were still hungry most of the time.
Thinking of his nanny, Xie Zirui became sad again. He didn't expect that his nanny died here to save him.
"Brother Zirui, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let's go for a walk." Yun Yiyi saw that Xie Zirui was in a low mood and hurried to comfort him. She guessed that Xie Zirui must be thinking of his grandmother.
"Okay, I'll finish eating quickly, Yiyi, wait for me for a moment." Xie Zirui said and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Zhang winked at Yun the butcher, telling him not to ask any more questions. Yun the butcher did not ask any more questions.
Zhang and Yun the Butcher finished their meal quickly, and she dragged Yun the Butcher to the official road.
"The head of the family, Xie Zirui is the eldest, the third is the child that Yiyi found when she was cutting firewood in the mountains. This child is so miserable. His grandmother died from injuries she suffered while trying to protect him from being captured by human traffickers."
"It was the eldest and third sons who helped dig the grave and buried Zirui's grandmother. Oh, how could such a young child be so miserable!"
"When Zirui first came, he was completely black and it was impossible to tell what he looked like. I didn't expect it, so I just cut my hair and took a shower, and he became what he is now. I think he still looks better this way."
"Wife, does Zirui have no other relatives? I don't think he looks like a child raised in a poor family." Yun the Butcher asked in confusion.
"He said he had no other relatives at home. He and his grandmother came here to escape the famine. Once his grandmother died, he was all alone."
"Master, I like this child Zirui very much. What do you think about us adopting him?" Zhang said cautiously.
Butcher Yun didn't say anything. He was in deep thought for a while.
"Master, if we don't take care of such a young child, how will he survive without food and water? And you can see that Zirui is too young. If he meets human traffickers, his life will be ruined."
Butcher Yun still didn't say anything.
"Boss, we have children of our own, you wouldn't want Zirui to have any accidents, right?"
"Wife, I didn't say I disagree with adopting Zirui."
"Really? Boss? Why didn't you say anything? I thought you didn't agree. You scared me." Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just thinking, you said that Zirui's grandmother died from injuries she suffered while trying to protect him from being captured by human traffickers, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhang replied quickly.
"Do you know where Zirui and his grandmother met the human traffickers?" Yun the Butcher asked hurriedly.
"Dad, I know. Brother Zirui's grandmother was in the square in front and found a few men secretly discussing how to steal Zirui away. So, Brother Zirui and his grandmother took advantage of the men's relaxation of vigilance and escaped."
"Who would have thought that one of the men would catch up with him. It was at that time that Zirui's grandmother was seriously injured while trying to protect him."
"Later, Brother Zirui and his grandmother teamed up to kill the man. The two of them fled to the mountains."
"When I found Brother Zirui, his grandmother had already died. Brother Zirui also fainted on the ground." Yun Yiyi said in a low voice.
"So according to what you mean, the human traffickers who want to capture Zirui are inside the square?"
"Yes, Dad."
"Wife, the human traffickers have never seen Zirui's current appearance, right?" Yun the Butcher confirmed again.
"Dad, no. When Zirui first came, his whole body was pitch black and we couldn't see what he looked like." Yun Yiyi answered affirmatively.
"In that case, Zirui is safe. Yiyi, go and call Zirui over." Butcher Yun arranged for Yun Yiyi to run errands.
"I heard you, Dad. I'll go right away." Yun Yiyi made a face and ran away.
"Wife, let's do as you say and adopt Zirui. Otherwise, it will be hard for him to live alone."
"Boss, I knew you would agree." Zhang said happily.
"Wife, we have to arrange an identity for Zirui. We can't say he was picked up, otherwise those gossipy women in the village will start to talk nonsense again."
"Master, you are right. Let me think about it. Well, if we have one, we can say that he is the child of my sister-in-law and my brother's family. How about that? If others ask, we can say that my sister-in-law took him to my mother's house during the Chinese New Year and I met him a few times."
"As for how they met, just say that Yiyi sneaked to the square and found them. What do you think, boss?" Zhang asked hurriedly.
Yun the butcher looked at Zhang's excited look and shook his head helplessly. Women's imagination is really powerful. In just a short while, he had a complete life story.
"Wife, you can. I think if we mix the truth with the lies, it will be harder for others to tell the difference."
After listening to Yun the Butcher's words, Zhang also felt that it made sense.
"Then they told the truth, saying that the eldest brother and his two companions found Zirui and his dead grandmother in the woods behind when they were collecting firewood."
