"Boss, are you back? Do you have a child you like?" Wang Fang, the only employee in the store, saw Xiao Shichu coming back and asked excitedly. She knew that her boss wanted to adopt a child.
Xiao Shichu shook his head: "I thought about it and decided not to adopt. If you adopt a child, you have to be responsible for everything about her. This responsibility is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't do it well."
Wang Fang listened and nodded immediately: "Yes, it is not easy to raise a child well. It takes a lot of energy and money. Let me tell you, boss, if you think your home is too quiet, you might as well raise a child." As for a pet, a pet can accompany you, and the burden is not as heavy as raising a child, but it is not less fun at all.”
When Xiao Shichu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "You are right, it is better to adopt a child than to raise a pet."
The original owner's parents died early, and she originally had a boyfriend who was already talking about marriage. However, during the premarital examination, the original owner was found to be sterile, so the boyfriend immediately dumped her and married someone else.
The original owner was greatly shocked. Later, for this reason, he stopped looking for a boyfriend. After he turned thirty, he gradually felt lonely and came up with the idea of adopting a child, so he went to the orphanage today.
"Boss, do you want to raise a cat or a dog?" Wang Fang asked excitedly, "I think it's better to raise a dog. Dogs are very clingy and can also look after homes and homes. Cats are very proud and won't dump you." I won’t dump you.”
Xiao Shichu thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about this clearly yet, but I think cats have the benefits of cats, and dogs have the benefits of dogs. It's good to raise anything."
"Then it depends on what you like." Wang Fang said, a guest came to the door, and she hurriedly greeted the guest.
Xiao Shichu saw that there were not many guests now and Wang Fang could take care of them by herself, so he got off work early and returned home.
But before she went back, she saw a newborn baby wrapped in shabby clothes in a trash can in an alley near her home. The baby was still alive, but its cries were weak and intermittent, making people think he was lying. There was no sound for a moment.
Xiao Shichu didn't expect that she would see an abandoned baby. She couldn't ignore it, so she could only pick the abandoned baby out of the trash can, walk out of the alley, and ask passers-by to call the police.
In this era, mobile phones are still a luxury item that ordinary people cannot afford. Although the original owner is a clothing store owner, he just bought a house and cannot afford an expensive mobile phone, so he cannot use his mobile phone to call the police.
After people passing by heard Xiao Shichu say they had picked up the child, they went to the nearest police station to call the police without saying a word.
More than ten minutes later, the police arrived, learned about the situation at the scene, asked Xiao Shichu some questions, and then called an ambulance to take the child to the hospital for examination.
Surveillance has not become popular these days, so it is very difficult to find the person who abandoned the baby. In fact, if Xiao Shichu had not said that he had just come back from the store and had the clerk as evidence, the police might have suspected that she gave birth to the baby. She wanted to give up, but she gave up because she might have regretted it later.
Xiao Shichu didn't know that she almost became an unscrupulous mother who abandoned her baby. Of course, if she knew that she was under suspicion, she could easily get rid of the suspicion by showing the evidence to the police that the original owner was infertile during the premarital examination.
The abandoned baby is a boy who suffers from a serious heart disease. This is probably the reason why he was abandoned. After all, there are many abandoned baby girls these days, but there are very few baby boys, unless there is a serious physical problem and the family has no money for treatment. Will abandon it.
Xiao Shichu sent the baby to the hospital, told the police, and left directly. Anyway, she had fulfilled her obligation to call the police and rescue, but she had no obligation to stay and take care of the baby boy.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the police called Xiao Shichu at the clothing store and asked her if she wanted to adopt the abandoned baby boy.
Xiao Shichu quickly refused: "No, I have no intention of adopting him, and with my current income level, there is no way to cure his heart disease. Comrade police, you'd better find a more prosperous family to adopt him."
The police comrade sighed and said: "His heart disease is not very serious now. As long as he is taken good care of and takes some medicine and conservative treatment, he can live for a long time. And we understand that Miss Xiao, you were here some time ago." We went to the orphanage and there was a desire to adopt a child. We thought, instead of adopting those children who are several years old and have memories, you might as well adopt an ignorant baby, so that he can treat you as his biological mother in the future... As for his heart disease, current medical technology is not developed enough, but in a few years or more than ten years, his heart disease may be easily treatable, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Xiao Shichu firmly refused: "Comrade police, in fact, I have given up on adopting the child, not just because he has a heart disease. Now I am alone, my parents have passed away, and there is a clothing store. The store needs to be taken care of, and there is no time to take care of a baby, let alone a sick and weak child who needs careful care. If I adopt him but cannot give him careful care, won't it harm him? So comrade police, You’d better find someone else.”
The police had no choice but to find other adoptive parents for the child when they saw Xiao Shichu's firm refusal.
Wang Fang was listening to the conversation between Xiao Shichu and the police. Her eyes were bright and she was extremely curious. She asked Xiao Shichu: "Boss, it sounds like the police want you to adopt a child? What kind of child is it?"
"I picked up an abandoned baby from a trash can in an alley near my home a few days ago. The police couldn't find his parents and couldn't bear to send him to an orphanage, so they wanted to ask me if I wanted to adopt him," Xiao Shichu said. , the conditions for adopting children are not very perfect these days, and the law does not provide very detailed regulations, so it is much easier to adopt children now than in later generations.
"Oh my God, he was thrown into the trash can! What kind of parents are so cruel? If you don't want the child, it's okay to put the child on the street. At least he will be discovered and put in the trash can. That's sincerity. I won’t let the child live anymore.” Wang Fang said in shock.
"Yes, if I hadn't passed by by chance that day, and if my ears weren't sharp enough, and I heard the baby's weak cry, then he would have died." Xiao Shichu said with a cold face, "The child has heart disease, maybe his parents I think he will definitely not survive.”
"You are so cruel. Even if your child is sick, you have to try every means to save it. Why did you just throw it away?" Wang Fang said angrily, "If you know who threw it, you have to arrest them and put them in jail!"
