After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 245 - 2045 Successfully Adopted

Aunt Xia listened to every word of Mother Xia, the fury in her eyes almost materializing like daggers aimed at Mother Xia!

Yet, Mother Xia remained completely oblivious, cried her tears, wiped them away, looked up, and gazed lovingly at Xia Chengzong.

"Chengzong, from now on, you’ll be the son of our second branch!"

The way Mother Xia looked at Xia Chengzong made him feel deeply uncomfortable—such an intensely tender gaze, he had never even seen from his own mother.

But, frustratingly, the onlooker wasn’t his own mother but Chuyi’s!

He quickly turned to look at his sister.

Just then, Xia Chuyi also turned to him, understood his thoughts, and a faint smile formed at the corners of her mouth, signaling to him that she was indifferent.

Soon, the production brigade leader, village chief, and the party secretary all arrived.

"Army leaders, comrades from the Police Station, is there anything you need help with?" The trio immediately offered their full cooperation upon arrival.

The police briefed the three about the situation, concluding, "In any case, just follow Mr. Xia’s instructions."

The village chief and the others exchanged glances, then asked Xia Chuyi in a very amiable manner, "Chuyi girl, whatever issues you have, just tell us uncles directly, we will make decisions on your behalf."

Xia Chuyi did not decline, smiled and said to the three, "Here is the thing, my mother and I want to separate our household registration and need proof from the village."

"Also, my second brother is to be adopted from the main branch into our second branch."

Upon hearing this, all three were shocked.

But as officials, they managed to stay composed, showing little surprise, and asked, "Have you discussed the details of this thoroughly?"

Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "We’ve discussed it thoroughly, the second branch’s household registration will be separated, and my second brother will be adopted and registered with us."

"We will also write a new family separation document, and after a while, our second branch will move out of the Xia Family and will no longer have any relationships with this side."

This was not just a separation, but a clear break.

"...All right." The trio did not express any opinions.

Proofs, declarations, applications for cemetery plots... the work was handled swiftly.

The adoption did not involve any grand ceremony; it just took place in the second branch’s home, where Mother Xia sat on a chair and accepted Xia Chengzong’s kowtows.

"Mom." Xia Chengzong called out.

"Good, good!" Mother Xia hurriedly replied, helped him up, and embraced him, crying uncontrollably.

To the uninitiated, it might seem like a reunion of mother and son after a long separation.

Xia Chengzong’s face showed some embarrassment.

The main branch’s members were unwilling to witness the adoption ceremony, only Grandma Xia was present. Hands on her hips, she loudly asked Xia Chuyi, "Now that everything is settled! Xia Chuyi, what about the thing you promised me?"

Xia Chuyi glanced at Grandma Xia and said, "Don’t worry, Xia Chengzu definitely won’t be executed."

Executed?

Upon hearing this, the village chiefs present immediately looked at each other in confusion.

"Xia Chuyi, you!" Grandma Xia suddenly felt embarrassed and hurriedly said to the village chiefs, "This child is talking nonsense, just nonsense."

Xia Chuyi snorted coldly and said, "Grandma Xia, are you still trying to hide this kind of thing?"

She addressed the village chiefs directly, "I’m not going to hide this from you uncles, Xia Chengzu has committed an offense in the county and is detained at the Police Station."

"The reason why my second brother needs to be adopted into the second branch and why we want to move away from the Xia Family is because we do not want to be family with someone who has committed such vile acts!"

"We need to decisively break off any relations with such a person!"

Xia Chuyi’s statement was filled with righteousness and disdain for Xia Chengzu.
