Chapter 298: Even a Tiger Does Not Eat Its Cubs

The fact that Wang Yi abandoned his biological daughter spread throughout the military region in an instant, after all, these are children, not cats or dogs, just dumped here and left unattended, letting them live or die on their own.

Moreover, he threw away three at once—one has to say this is also too cruel.

Su Ruo wasn't surprised at all by Wang Yi's fate, but upon hearing the plight of those three girls, her expression changed instantly.

Chen Dan didn't notice Su Ruo's oddness, still speaking with an indignant face: "The mother and son of the Wang family are too cruel, they hardly deserve to be called human—those are three living lives, just thrown away like that without even blinking."

Among the three children, the eldest was only ten, the youngest only six, and they had all fainted from being baked in the sun.

What's more hateful is that when the mother and son left, they didn't give the children even a mouthful of food or a sip of water, clearly having no intention of letting any of them survive; if it hadn't been discovered in time, those three children might already have been dead.

They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but that mother and son are crueler than a tiger.

Song Jingyu noticed Su Ruo's expression was off, reached out and took her hand; just then someone called Chen Dan at the door, and she hurried out.

Song Jingyu said, "If you feel pity for those three children and want to help them…"

Su Ruo immediately interrupted him: "No need!"

Those three children are indeed pitiful, but there are too many pitiful people in the world; she simply couldn't help them all.

What's more, the father of those three children had once tried to harm Song Jingyu's life.

Their ending up in this situation was also due to being implicated in that matter.

Su Ruo knew what Song Jingyu wanted to say, but she directly refused him, because raising those three children isn't hard, feeding them a mouthful isn't hard; the difficulty lies in how to educate them.

Su Ruo didn't want to work herself to the bone, pouring heart and soul into raising them, only to end up with a few white-eyed wolves; after all, human hearts are unfathomable, and not everyone knows to be grateful.

Song Jingyu made that suggestion not to let Su Ruo feel upset about it; seeing her disagreement, he didn't say anything more.

However, when the organization asked for his opinion on handling the matter, he still proposed keeping the three children in the military region to see if anyone wanted to adopt them, and if truly no one was willing, then send them to the military region's welfare institute.

After all, they are three living lives; regardless of what mistakes their father may have made, the young are innocent, and nobody wants them to wither away at such a tender age.

The higher-ups in the organization had also decided this way, but they still needed to consult Song Jingyu's opinion, after all, he is the victim and holds a position of great importance.

Now, upon hearing Song Jingyu say that, the people who came to inquire also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, the eldest of the three children was adopted by a couple in their forties from the military region who had no children.

This couple had no children due to health reasons; they had been receiving treatment over the years hoping for a miracle, but as they grew older, they eventually gave up.

But at this age, it's inevitable to fear loneliness in old age, so they came up with the idea of adopting a child.

However, the couple are usually busy with work and might not be able to look after a child; Da Ya, although only ten, had been doing the laundry and cooking at home before, and could also take care of her younger siblings, so she no longer needed anyone to look after her.

Moreover, even though she has now been abandoned by her father and grandmother, she has never uttered a single complaint.

She simply kowtowed desperately, hoping someone would adopt her two younger sisters so they could survive.

Seeing Da Ya so well-behaved and sensible, the couple felt a pang of heartache and immediately decided to adopt her.

San Ya was adopted by a young couple who already had a son; the wife had injured her body when giving birth and could no longer have children, but the couple loved daughters greatly, so seeing San Ya's well-behaved and lovable nature, they adopted her, which would also make a good companion for their son.

That left only Er Ya; she is eight years old—an age that's neither big nor small, she already understands things, but still needs looking after, cannot take care of herself like Da Ya can, and while she can help with chores, it's indeed hard to find someone willing to adopt her.

Seeing this, Da Ya immediately wanted to go beg the foster parents to take in her sister; as for herself going to the welfare institute, she could tell that this couple were good people with good family conditions, and her sister would surely not suffer if she stayed with them.

But Er Ya refused, for this was the eldest sister's only chance to change her fate, and she didn't want to snatch away the home her sister had finally gotten.

The elder sister had already worked hard for years taking care of her and her younger sister; from now on she would have to rely on herself.

Er Ya smiled and said to Da Ya: "Sister, I've grown up now, I can take care of myself; rest assured I will be obedient, and from now on I will wait until I only like my dad and mom."

They said the aunts at the welfare institute are very nice, won't beat people all day like grandma does, and you can eat your fill, so you don't need to worry about me.

Hearing her sister's words, Da Ya's eyes reddened involuntarily, but she had been sensible since childhood; even if she felt heartbroken, she wouldn't cry out loudly.

Even if she was reluctant to part with her sister, she didn't dare shout it out, because she didn't know who she could turn to for help.

A child without an umbrella can only learn to run desperately.

At this moment, not only Da Ya, but also the aunties around watching the spectacle, couldn't help but redden their eyes.

At the same time, they cursed in their hearts: "How cruel the Wang Yi mother and son are! What fine children—how could they bear to just abandon them like that?"

But after the sadness, some felt that this outcome might actually be best for the three children, given the condition of that mother and son and their degree of favoring sons over daughters, the kids would only suffer if they stayed with them.

After Su Ruo learned of this result, she only silently nodded her head, saying nothing.

Everyone has their own fate; she didn't want to meddle too much in others' karma.

Song Jingyu, fearing she would worry, comforted her: "Rest assured, the couples who adopted Da Ya and San Ya are both excellent people; they won't let them suffer."

Su Ruo thought that if she could thus escape, that wretched original family might actually be a good thing for them.

Su Ruo originally thought she didn't care at all, but after work that day she unconsciously found herself at the welfare institute's gate.

Song Jingyu just silently accompanied her, saying nothing, because he knew best that although Su Ruo appeared cold on the outside, her inner self was actually the softest.

At that moment, Er Ya from the welfare institute saw Su Ruo and Song Jingyu, and immediately smiled as she ran over to them.
