After all, that old lady didn't have many years left to live.
Liu's father was taken aback.
Jiu Wentang continued, "Haoshan, do you agree? If you don't agree, then we'll just drop the matter, and pretend that I never said this."
Liu's father opened his mouth and said, "Our daughter is also her daughter, isn't it too much trouble to adopt formally?"
Jiu Wentang shook her head, "It's different, Haoshan, I'm a woman too, and I understand too well how much a woman yearns to have a child of her own. Big sister has been alone for so many years, I really feel sorry for her."
As she spoke, Jiu Wentang's eyes reddened.
Liu's father nodded, "Wentang, it's thoughtful of you to consider all this. Since you agree, I have no objections either. Let's do as you say and adopt our Xiaoru out to her."
"Mm," Jiu Wentang took a towel and wiped Liu's father's feet dry, "Then I'll go and talk to Xiaoru about this now."
"Alright."
