Amelia rolled her eyes. “Alright, I didn’t say that you can’t keep her. Get the hell up.”
The two of them looked at each other and then stood up with a sigh of relief.
Hazel fawningly carried the child to Amelia. “Mother, please give the child a name.”
Amelia took it in exasperation. Chloe could not see her clearly, so she sniffed Amelia like a puppy.
Hmm… she was a good person.
Chloe was relieved. She would not be thrown out again.
“Let’s call her Chloe.”
Chloe clapped her hands excitedly. This name was good. It was exactly the same as the name her master had given her in her previous life.
Issac said in a surprised tone, “Mother, look at her. She seems to be smiling. She must like the name mother gave her.”
Amelia could not help but feel soft-hearted when she saw her innocent appearance.
“Let your siblings nurse this child first. Now that you have a child, you have to take up the responsibility of being a parent in the future.”
The two of them nodded their heads vigorously. Amelia carried Chloe into the second room.
Emma Johnson had long pricked up her ears to hear everything clearly. When she saw her mother-in-law come in, she hurriedly reached out to take the child.
“Mother, give it to me.”
Chloe was placed in Emma’s arms. When she smelled the food, she sucked hard.
Emma looked at her anxious and hungry appearance, and her heart was filled with tenderness.
“Emma, you take care of this child together. I’ll add an egg for you every day.”
“Mother, you don’t have to. I just happened to be able to breastfeed them together.”
Amelia said resolutely, “Alright, it’s settled then.”
After settling down, Amelia drove Issac and Hazel to work.
The Jones family was one of the poorest in the village. At the moment, since they had an extra mouth to feed, they could not rest.
Only Emma who was in confinement, could lie on the bed and touch Chloe’s little face.
“You’re so pretty. You’re supposed to be a child from the city, right?”
Chloe had just eaten her fill. She spread out her legs and exposed her belly in satisfaction. Then, she smiled at Emma in an ingratiating manner.
Emma was instantly amused and kissed her forehead.
“How adorable!”
Chloe did not have any thoughts of acting cute or shameful.
In her previous life, she had her master and four senior brothers to protect her. She was already used to being called a good-for-nothing for her whole life.
If she could win by doing nothing, why would she still work hard?
It was just that this family was poorer than she had imagined. It was not easy at all.
After dinner, everyone from the Jones family came back. Only then did Issac figure out the composition of this family.
Amelia was a widowed mother. She had three sons: Issac, Daniel, and Ethan.
She also had a daughter, Luna, who had married into a neighboring village.
Daniel had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Ella, was two years old. His son, Noah, was also born not long ago. He was a few days younger than Chloe.
“Brother, this child is really good-looking. She looks a little like you and your sister-in-law.”
Daniel looked at Chloe, took out a few peaches, and lined them up on the table.
“Mother, today’s luck is exceptionally good. When we came back, we actually found a wild peach tree on the path. It’s so sweet, and it wasn’t picked completely.”
Even during the new year, the Jones family rarely had fruit to eat. Amelia picked up the few peaches and looked at them. They were all juicy and fully riped peaches.
“What a coincidence. There’s one in each son, and the extra one is for Emma so she can nourish her body. She’s nursing two babies now.”
Emma waved her hands. “Mom, you can have the extra one.”
Amelia unquestionably divided the peaches and placed them in front of them. Just as she was about to put away her youngest son’s peaches, the door was pushed open.
Ethan was only 16 years old. His voice was heard before the others even saw him.
“Mom, Look what I got from the mountain!”
Amelia immediately hit Ethan’s head.
“I told you it’s not safe to go up the mountain. Why did you go up the mountain again?”
Ethan held his head with one hand and hid his other hand behind his back. He kept moaning.
“Mom, please slow down. I got a rabbit here.”
Everyone saw that Ethan was holding a half-dead rabbit in his hand. It was round and fat, making people drool.
“This rabbit was found under my tree. It probably bumped into it by itself. Mother was actually telling the truth about waiting for the rabbit.”
Amelia glared at him. “Shut up. Wash your hands and eat. Don’t go up the mountain in the future. If I find out again, I’ll skin you alive!”
After a long commotion, the whole family sat neatly in front of the table to eat.
Chloe was held in Hazel’s arms, her eyes fixed on the rabbit.
It was not easy to see clearly. The rabbit looked so white and cute. It must be delicious.
Everyone at the table was amused by this greedy look.
Ethan said curiously, “Is this child really just born? She looks so smart.”
Two good things happened in the family, and Amelia was in a better mood. At this moment, looking at Chloe’s appearance, she felt strange.
