Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Sworn Kinship
"Qiqi!"
Yuan Bao heard what Wei Qiqi said to her three brothers and quickly spoke up. She remembered clearly that Wei Qiqi had just said her brother was already two and a half years old, but she wasn’t even two yet.
So, she was actually a younger sister!
However, before Yuan Bao could speak out, Wei Qiqi had already firmly made her three brothers call Yuan Bao "sister."
Well, sister it is!
Yuan Bao simply accepted that she was the sister.
After all, she was taller, and she spoke more fluently than the three brothers.
Later, Yuan Bao met Wei Qiqi’s mother.
Mrs. Wei Shen!
She was a woman who impressed people with her dignified and graceful demeanor at first glance. With a round face, despite being a mother of four, she still had a slight baby-fat look, with bright black eyes full of spirit, and a gentle, approachable smile at the corners of her mouth.
Upon seeing her, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but like her and wanted to get closer.
Mrs. Wei Shen’s voice was soft, even more melodious than Ruan Wan’s.
Watching how Mrs. Wei Shen treated her daughter and sons reminded Yuan Bao of her biological mother, Mrs. Xiao Li.
The two were completely different!
In Mrs. Wei Shen’s case, there was no favoritism for boys over girls; in fact, Wei Qiqi, the daughter, was treated even better than her three brothers.
When Wei Qiqi said she wanted Yuan Bao to be her sister, Mrs. Wei Shen agreed with a smile, saying they’d officially make her a goddaughter later.
Yuan Bao thought Mrs. Wei Shen was just saying it casually.
But in the afternoon, when she saw her own uncle again, she also saw Wei Qiqi’s father, Wei Shiyu. At the same time, Wei Qiqi and Mrs. Wei Shen were also there.
It was at this moment that Yuan Bao realized that the "Wei" in Yunyang City was the same "Wei" as the noble person Wei Shifeng they met back in Sanchuan City.
Wei Shiyu was there to discuss with Yuan Yindi about making Yuan Bao their goddaughter.
"Uncle Xiao Wu, I want to be sisters with Jiaojiao, please agree!"
After Wei Shiyu stated his intentions, Wei Qiqi followed up.
"That’s a great idea!"
Wei Wushang was the first to express his agreement when he heard about it.
Could Yuan Yindi refuse?
Of course not!
Being made a goddaughter was actually a good thing for Yuan Bao.
According to popular belief, having a godparent helps share hardships with the child.
Generally, families with fragile fortune wouldn’t easily become godparents.
After Yuan Yindi nodded in agreement, it was settled.
Thus, after being given to another family, Yuan Bao now had a godfather and godmother, along with a sister and three brothers.
"I think I hit the jackpot!"
Thinking about being given away, she lost a biological brother, but now, because of this godparent situation, she gained a sister, three brothers, and most importantly, a godfather and godmother.
After bowing to Wei Shiyu and Mrs. Wei Shen, Yuan Bao felt immensely happy.
After acknowledging her godparents, the delighted Yuan Bao planned to return to Beishan Village with her uncle, um, now she should call him father. Yuan Bao planned to make a trip back.
Although her biological parents were not reliable, her grandparents treated her very well.
"Jiaojiao, if you don’t want to go back, you don’t have to."
"I’ll go back myself and bring your grandparents to the city in a couple of days!"
Yuan Yindi looked at Yuan Bao with some concern, afraid she’d overthink.
