The clan had been informed about the adoption of relatives, and the patriarch also relented and agreed to it. When Yan Tao knew about it, there was no room for objection.
He did not know that this matter was proposed by Yan Chu. He only knew that his parents had asked his grandparents for it. Even if he was angry, he could not find the ignorant couple and tell them what kind of mistake they had made.
Adopting Fu Zhenzhen, the old couple Yan could not be said to be happy or unhappy. The people in the second branch were very happy, and those in the main branch were gloomy, and it was not decent to pretend to be happy.
Yan Tao’s expression at this time was not conspicuous among the crowd of people in the main branch. Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue looked at the expression of their youngest son and felt that this son was caring for them. They thought that they would go together, and they could not care about their sadness. Instead, they had to comfort their youngest son.
“Second Treasure, don’t be angry. Even if there is no Fu Zhenzhen, it can be someone else. Don’t worry, in this family, no one can surpass you and your elder brother. Even if Yan Chu is promising, I’ll let him work hard and give us money.”
Liu Fuchun said this ruthlessly, but, for a while, she could not think of anything to deal with Yan Chu. Originally, she thought Fu Zhenzhen was the biggest handle. Now Fu Zhenzhen could not be touched. For other women, Yan Chu was not so stupid, so they could easily get into the trap.
These words were just words to comfort her little son.
