Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 2640: Mission 26

Editor: Henyee Translations

After the two families discussed the matter of going to the county tomorrow, they went back respectively. They planned to hold a banquet and inform the villagers after the matter was settled.

Gu Chaoyan planned to go to the county directly because it would be challenging for her to get the job done. She had already observed the Land Officer’s biased attitude towards the people in the old house. Given the villagers’ lack of literacy and familiarity with county procedures, she preferred dealing with it directly in the county.

Most of the village affairs were typically addressed within the village, and the villagers were primarily farmers with limited literacy. When they reached the county, they struggled with the procedures. Going straight to the county seemed more straightforward.

This was Gu Chaoyan’s strategy.

Going to the county was faster, and the main challenge was spending money, which she didn’t mind for such matters.

Tian Jiu accompanied them back. Although the adoption was not formalized yet, Auntie Lianhua mentioned that before the formal adoption, she would encourage them to foster a relationship by visiting each other’s homes.

Gu Chaoyan agreed directly, as she had some matters to discuss with Tian Jiu.

Upon returning home, Danxia and Dandong went about their tasks, leaving Gu Chaoyan and Ms. Wang behind.

Before delving into the serious matters, Gu Chaoyan asked playfully, “Why is Little Jiu so eager to come to our house? Are you here to play with Danxia and Dandong?”

Tian Jiu nodded.

Having a playmate was one thing, but that wasn’t the most important aspect for Tian Jiu.

“Uncle Yan and Auntie are very good to me. They often give me food. Uncle Yan even brought me to the city to play and buy candied hawthorn. You’re all good people. However, many people in the village bullied you. I’ve thought about it. They just felt that there was no man in your family to protect you, so I came to protect you,” Tian Jiu said righteously. Then, he added in embarrassment, “It’s just that I ate a little too much. I don’t know if you will mind.”

“At home, she eats a lot. Her mother often talks about him,” Gu Chaoyan said.

“No,” she answered, “We don’t need your food.”

“Little Jiu, you are still young. Do you want to study after you come to our house?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“Yes,” Tian Jiu answered.

In the village, the Jiang family, with a scholar, could do whatever they wanted. If he studied, he would be able to protect many people. Moreover, reading could allow him to understand more principles and go to a wider place. Of course, he wanted to.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Ms. Wang brought some snacks to him.

The hot water was ready too.

After taking a shower, Gu Chaoyan went to bed, while Tian Jiu, being young, slept with Ms. Wang for the time being. Preparing a separate room for him would be on the agenda soon.

The next day, before dawn, the two families set out together. The villagers, curious about the joint departure, couldn’t help but ask questions. Gu Chaoyan had nothing to hide, and she said directly, “We are going to the city to settle the adoption procedures. Tian Jiu from the Tian family is coming to our house.”

“What?”!

The news started to blow up after they left.

The news spread like wildfire. Everyone knew about it very quickly.

Most of the people in the village were watching a good show.

On the other hand, the family with the half-grown young man and the Yan family’s old house were starting to feel vexed.

The former hoped to marry a girl from the third branch of the Yan family and gain some benefits.
