She Had to Take Him In

Rumors were going around the village that An Jiuyue had sold a child for food.

An Jiuyue was silent.

When did I carry my children to town? I was driving an ox cart!

"Uncle, I didn't bring the children with me today. I brought a child back from town," she explained.

"Huh?" The Junior Officer did not seem to understand her and was bewildered. "Is there a difference?"

An Jiuyue sighed and looked at the two of them helplessly.

"I went to town today to buy some grain. I placed my basket on an ox cow cart and wanted to buy some cabbage. When I turned around, there was a child in my basket.

"I couldn't find his parents. I had no choice, I couldn't abandon him so I brought him back. "

The Junior Officer was stunned. "Huh? Can something like that happen?"

So someone handed their child to An Jiuyue for her to raise? Is this what the town is like now?
