Chapter 166: Catch-22 Question

When they were poor, they gave her away to others to raise. When other people finally raised their child to adulthood, they eagerly acknowledged her. Wouldn't that be taking advantage of the situation? If that was the case, who would be willing to adopt other people's children?

"Your food looks delicious!" Yu Yan praised Duan Mei's cooking with a smile.
