She didn't know if she could feed such a young child.

He who abandons his children is even more sinful.

"Nan Li, how about we keep this child?"

Lin Xuan'er looked at this child, feeling more and more pitiful.

If they didn't take such a small baby and stayed outside for one more night, his life might be lost.

Why are there such cruel parents in the world?
"It's better to do this. I will pay for all the child's expenses and not go through the public account. Then no one will talk about it."

Chu Nanli shook her head: "There's no rush."

Naturally, she would not give up the child, but she would not accept it directly either.

After all, if she keeps this child now, in the eyes of outsiders, they are all kind-hearted people.

Sometimes, being too kind will only be used without a bottom line.

"Have you ever thought that since the parents of this baby girl would leave the baby girl at the door, they must have inquired about the situation here first. In the secret, there may be people as shameless as them watching. "

"If we accept this child, there will definitely be more and more people like him."

Not only would those people not think they were kind, they might even secretly laugh at their naivety.

Chu Nanli's words also made Lin Xuan'er's face become serious.

What she said was indeed something she had never thought of before.

She only cared about this child, but never thought about this aspect.

With her ability, she can indeed support one or two children, but what if there are more than ten or twenty?
Opening so many mouths would probably overwhelm the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Besides, have you ever thought that when those children grow up, their biological parents will come to your door again and say that we used our power to take them away forcibly. Do you think at that time, should we release them or not?" Not letting people go?"

Although Lin Xuan'er is naive, she is not completely ignorant of these worldly things.

She knew very well that no matter whether they were released or not, the hardest part would be on their side.

"So, what you are saying is that we are not ignoring her, but we need to find a way to get the best of both worlds, right?"

What Chu Nanli said was something she had never expected before.

Now that she pointed it out, she felt like she had a sudden enlightenment.

But soon, she started to have difficulties again: "Then what should we do? Is it possible to really send this child back?"

"No," Chu Nanli shook her head slightly, "Let the news out first, saying that we have sent the child to Jing Zhaoyin and asked the government to find the child's parents on our behalf."

"But since those two people are cruel enough to abandon their children, even if we let people release such news, what will happen?"

Lin Xuan'er didn't think that those people would take the child back just by spreading this news.

"No, they will come."

The news that Chu Nanli wanted to let people out was more than that.

She remembered that there was a provision in the law that parents who abandoned their children without any reason would also be fined money.

She will let the government publicize this.

A bounty will also be provided to the government. Anyone who can tell the child news will have some scattered silver.

Sure enough, less than half a day after the news spread, a couple came to the door.The material the couple wore was not luxurious, but it didn't have many patches either.

Compared with them, the little girl behind them was dressed in rags and was worse than a beggar on the roadside.

"Two noble ladies, this girl is indeed our daughter. Our family is poor, so we asked Daya to help look after the child at home. Who knows, she didn't take it seriously and actually threw her sister away!"

The woman in her twenties squeezed out a few tears. Seeing that Chu Nanli and Lin Xuan'er were young, she didn't even bother to hide the greed in her eyes.

"You two don't know that we haven't rested for several days in order to find this child. It's all because of this loser!"

The couple's hard-working performance not only failed to impress Chu Nanli, but also Lin Xuan'er couldn't be fooled.

Lin Xuan'er frowned and couldn't help but make a sound.

But without Chu Nanli's signal, she couldn't speak casually.

"You say this child is yours, does that mean it's really yours?"

Chu Nanli had a cold face, giving the impression that she was a bit like Ye Jiuxiao.

"As far as I know, someone threw the child at the door before dawn. How can such a thin little girl carry a child so far?"

She looked over with a half-smile, and sure enough, she saw panic on the faces of the two people.

They probably thought that she and Lin Xuan'er were just young ladies trained by aristocratic families and could be fooled by just saying a few words.

Now, they don't know what to do.

"No, I can prove that this child is indeed ours. There is a small green birthmark on her lower waist. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."

As the woman spoke, she couldn't help but pat the little girl hard.

"It's all because of this money-losing guy who eats for free at home every day. She can't even look after a child if she is asked to do so!"

"That's enough. Your child only looks four or five years old. How can there be no problems if you let her look after the child?"

Lin Xuan'er despises people who vent their anger on children the most.

She stared at the woman until the other woman retracted her hand guiltily, and then she stopped.

If Chu Nanli hadn't been unaware of Chu Nanli's plans, she would have driven these two scoundrels away long ago based on her character.

"Then you can't say that. How can a noble person like you know the hard work of us farmers? In our village, children of this age are already helping with work. It's just this girl who is so clumsy. It's a waste to raise her." I bought a lot of silver rice!"

If this woman was so shameless, Lin Xuan'er was even more angry and almost wanted to take action.

Before she completely lost her composure, Chu Nanli took action to hold her back.

If Lin Xuan'er really opens her mouth to chase people away, she will only be slandered by these two people.

What Chu Nanli has to do now is not only to keep the child, but also to make the couple pay the price.

She said slowly: "If this child really has the birthmark you mentioned, then you can take this child back."

"However, this child suddenly appeared in our place yesterday. We were not prepared for anything, and we couldn't just leave it alone."

"It cost me five taels of silver to bring the doctor back, as well as buying goat's milk and clothes for the child. All in all, if you give me 20 taels of silver, you can take the child back."

Chu Nanli calculated the accounts unhurriedly. Every time she mentioned an additional expense, the couple's expressions became uglier.

They really didn't expect that Chu Nanli, who looked spoiled and spoiled, was even better at settling accounts than those accountants.
