Chapter 195:
Only a daughter of the sea could manage to ride an orca around in the sea.
Besides, the photos had more than just orcas; there were sea turtles and a whale shark that big.
I ask you, who has that kind of ability!
The more she looked, the brighter Wang Yun’s eyes shone.
“Jiaojiao, when will you go out to sea again?”
She wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Yun Jiao sat to the side, holding Turtle Xiao Er.
“We have to wait until the weather gets warmer. Right now, Father and the others won’t let me go out to sea with them, they’re afraid I’ll catch a cold.”
Wang Yun nodded upon hearing this and patted her little head, “That’s right.”
“Then Godmother will come find you when the weather gets warmer.”
As for those photos, she liked them all very much, but she couldn’t take them away.
Wang Yi leaned over to look a few times and proudly pointed to some of the photos, saying he took them.
Wang Yun smiled upon hearing this, “Then you have photos too? Are the negatives still there? I’d like to print a few.”
“Yes, Auntie, feel free to take them if you want.”
“Wow, I don’t have these later photos. What kind of fish is this? It looks bigger than an orca. Jiaojiao, you’ve recognized a new fish again. I want to take photos like this next time too.”
He was referring to the photos on the whale shark’s back.
“Who is this little boy?”
Yun Jiao replied, “My friend.”
After looking at the photos, Yun Jiao put the photo album back.
Granny Yun and Shen Yunlian had already prepared a basin of minced croaker filling for making dumplings.
They brought the filling out and placed it on the table, and everyone immediately came forward to help.
Yun Jiao also held the dumpling wrappers, carefully and diligently folding dumplings.
She put a bit too much filling in, so each dumpling turned out plump, and the opening even showed the filling.
Yun Jiao held up the dumpling in her hand, “Mom, I can’t close it.”
Shen Yunlian half-crouched down, smiling, and opened her dumpling, then took out a little of the meat filling.
“You put too much filling in. Put less next time.”
Yun Jiao looked at the plump, beautiful dumpling with ruffles in her mother’s hand and nodded seriously.
Then she took the dumpling wrappers and tried again.
She also wanted to make one with ruffles.
But the result was…
So ugly.
Yun Jiao’s little brow was wrinkled.
As someone who cared about appearances, she couldn’t stand the dumplings she made.
She shoved it into her third brother’s hand, pretending it wasn’t hers.
Chen Nan: …
While they were making dumplings, school was let out.
Yun Jiao persistently made several ugly, misshapen dumplings and decisively dropped her tools and ran outside.
“Grandma, Mom, I’m going to pick up my brothers.”
The two puppies that were playing in the courtyard immediately scrambled after her on their short legs when they saw her leave.
They met the brothers at the village mouth, and upon hearing that Yun Jiao had actually recognized a godparent, they immediately started making a fuss.
Yun Xiaowu: “What godparent? Isn’t Jiaojiao enough with us? Why does she need to recognize a godparent?”
If Jiaojiao’s godmother had children, wouldn’t that mean a few more people competing with them for their sister?
Yun Xiaoqi nodded, “Exactly. Jiaojiao, why do you always listen to Father and the others? You need to have your own opinions.”
Yun Jiao: It was my own decision to agree.
Yun Xiaowu: “Anyway, I disagree. I don’t agree with this relative. I’ll go back and tell Mom and the others.”
Yun Jiao: “No, I’ve already recognized them.”
Yun Xiaowu: “Then can’t it be undone?”
Yun Jiao’s small eyes stared at him, her expression seeming to say, ‘What do you think?’
If Yun Xiaowu could say it was possible.
But… he was afraid his sister would get angry.
He felt wronged, “You already have so many brothers like us, why are you letting others steal you away?”
Yun Jiao took his hand and leaned in, pressing her small face against his.
“Of course, my dearest ones are you all. No one else can compare.”
The few silly boys were quickly appeased by Yun Jiao’s sweet words.
When they returned home, Yun Xiaowu and the others still obediently greeted them.
They still had to be polite, otherwise, they’d get a beating.
Wang Yun also took out the gifts and red envelopes she had prepared earlier and gave them to them.
With gifts and red envelopes in hand, Yun Xiaowu and the others grinned, showing their cheap smiles, and stopped making a fuss about not wanting their sister to recognize godparents.
Moreover, they saw that besides Wang Yi, whom they knew, this family seemed to have only one daughter older than Jiaojiao.
So, their sister didn’t get more brothers, just an older sister.
That was no problem then.
The dumplings were all made and waiting for Yun Linhai and Wang Jianlin to return.
They only returned by car when it was getting dark.
Upon returning, they were met with steaming hot dumplings.
The few ugly dumplings Yun Jiao had made were distributed to others.
She herself happily ate the plump dumplings with ruffles.
Delicious!
“Yun Dana and Cai Jinhua will probably go to jail.”
While eating dumplings, Yun Linhai talked about the Cai Jinhua family’s affairs.
“What? That serious?”
Wang Jianlin said, “Whether it’s ghost marriage or arranged marriage, this is essentially selling their children, just disguised as marriage. They are cracking down on typical cases now, and both the family in your village and the man’s side will go to jail.”
“The country is strongly promoting the eradication of feudal superstitions and opposing arranged marriages. They are essentially running into the line of fire.”
Arranged marriages, in reality, are difficult to prosecute if the children don’t make a fuss or press charges.
Parents naturally have the advantage of controlling their children, and most people, even if ‘sold’ in the name of marriage, would never report their own parents due to filial piety.
Plus, many people are ignorant and don’t realize this is a violation of the law, so they have no fear.
Cai Jinhua’s affairs cannot be resolved in a day or two.
Wang Jianlin and the others cannot stay here indefinitely, but even if they leave, he will continue to pay attention to this matter.
With his attention, the police station will naturally have to resolve it properly.
After finishing the dumplings, Sun Yaotong started talking to the Yun family about the sunken ship.
“What sunken ship?”
Yun Linhai and the others looked confused.
Sun Yaotong said to Yun Jiao, “Jiaojiao, where’s your big bracelet?”
Yun Jiao looked at Granny Yun.
“It’s here.”
Granny Yun took out the bracelet, which was wrapped layer upon layer in a handkerchief.
As soon as the golden bracelet inlaid with beautiful gemstones came out, it stunned everyone.
“Mother, where did you get this?!”
Yun Linhai and the others were shocked.
Granny Yun said happily, “Jiaojiao gave it to me.”
Her tone was filled with undeniable joy and pride.
When her good granddaughter received such a big bracelet, her first thought was of her, this old woman. How could she not be gratified and happy?
Without even waiting for Yun Jiao to speak, Wang Yi once again displayed his talent for oratory, spewing out a torrent of words.
Good heavens, it was just like a storytelling session, leaving the listeners stunned.
Yun Jiao: Anyway, she didn’t have that ability.
Moreover, speaking so exaggeratedly in front of so many people, didn’t he feel embarrassed?
Yun Jiao touched her own face, and indeed, she was still too thin-skinned.
“Good heavens, daughter, has your fish affinity increased again? And a big one at that.”
