Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 710: Chapter 704: Albinism
 

Chu Molin knew that once his wife made a decision, it was out of his hands. He only nodded, then got up to dress and freshen up.

“Little treasures, Mommy and Daddy are taking you out for a walk today,” Qin Xue said to her two awake little sons as she finished dressing.

“Xue’er, who is she?” Chu Molin quickly returned to the room after stepping out momentarily.

“Who is who? Did someone come?” Qin Xue didn’t look up, her hands busily dressing the children, so she had no idea who Chu Molin was talking about.

“I’m talking about her. Who is she?” Chu Molin pointed at a little girl he had brought in, he had just spotted an attractive girl sitting in their yard as he stepped out. Startled, he checked the front gate; it was still locked. This meant that the little girl had been in their house all night, but his wife hadn’t told him anything. Really! She would bring anyone into their home.

“Oh, her. That’s Xue Ling,” Qin Xue replied, once Chu Molin made it clear. She then felt the presence of someone standing in front of her and looked up to see Xue Ling.

“That’s it?” Chu Molin was infuriated. Shouldn’t she explain why the pretty little girl was in their house?

“Yes, what else?” Qin Xue finished dressing the younger son and handed him to Chu Molin before starting to dress the older one.

“Wait outside for us.” Chu Molin pointed at Xue Ling and instructed.

“Alright, take your time.” Xue Ling cheerfully agreed and left.

Xue Ling was also surprised. She assumed the mistress had spoken to him last night. Little did she know, she hadn’t. Now the mistress had to fend for herself. Xue Ling thought, somewhat unkindly.

“How did the little girl end up at our house?” Chu Molin inquired after Xue Ling left.

It’s not that he was suspicious of a child. It’s just that Xue Ling was unusually striking. Not only was her hair silver, even her eyebrows were white. He hadn’t seen anyone like her before.

“She turned up suddenly. I liked her and decided to take her in,” Qin Xue looked at her husband and smiled.

“Speak seriously, don’t brush me off.” Chu Molin watched his wife dressing their older son while holding the younger one in his arms.

“Would you believe me if I said she is a fairy?” Qin Xue suddenly felt an urge to reveal everything to him.

“A fairy? Her?” Chu Molin found it hard to correlate the two, not that he doubted Qin Xue. No matter how one looked at Xue Ling, she seemed to have no connection to a fairy.

“Yes, just like her. Would you believe it?” Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin with expectation. If he believed her, she would tell him everything. If not, it was not worth discussing it.

“I don’t believe it,” Chu Molin shook his head. He would believe almost anything about that child, except that she was a fairy.

“Ha-ha, I knew you wouldn’t believe it. The truth is, she has a condition called albinism. This disease is a genetic mutation, a hereditary chromosomal disorder that affects the skin.

It doesn’t affect a person’s normal lifespan, but people with this condition are more prone to skin cancer. Perhaps there is a reason she’s had this since birth. Consequently, she was abandoned after her birth.

She doesn’t know who her parents are or whether she has any other relatives. She told me she was raised by a beggar. When the beggar died, she wandered alone.

Because she looks different and is pretty, she would purposely make herself appear dirty. I don’t know how she got here. Coincidentally, I saw her being bullied while I was shopping for groceries a few days ago. I helped her by scaring off the bullies. From then on, she followed me around. I took her in because I had no other choice,” Qin Xue fabricated a story.
