Chapter 1105 Give me a second child to keep you company (End)

"...Shichu, you have no idea how your brother can cry. He wakes up every one or two hours at night, and I have to coax him for more than an hour every time he wakes up. After he wakes up two or three times, the night is over, but I can't sleep the whole night... And during the day, I can't leave him at all. If I leave him, he will cry loudly. I can only carry him on my back to do housework, and I am exhausted every day..." While holding her son who she had finally coaxed, Tang's mother called Tang Shichu to complain.

Tang Shichu listened to her complaints for a long time before consoling her, "Mom, your brother is still young, it will be fine when he grows up."

"He is still so young. How long will it take for him to grow up? I can't hold on any longer. At first, I even regretted giving birth to him." There was a hint of pain and regret in Tang's mother's tone.

Tang Shichu quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Children grow up very fast. Your little brother is so cute, and you and dad wanted to have him. If he heard you say you regretted giving birth to him, he would be so sad. Just bear with it. You love him so much, you will definitely be able to endure these difficulties for him."

Tang Shichu encouraged her generously: "Mom, now is the time for your little brother to establish a close parent-child relationship with you. Don't be impatient with him just because he is difficult to take care of. He can feel that you are such a person who loves children, and you are also a loving mother. I believe you can overcome many difficulties and take good care of your little brother!"

Tang Shichu's words stopped her from complaining any more. She wanted to continue to complain to her daughter about how her son was naughty and blame her husband for not taking care of the child when he got home, but Tang Shichu praised her so highly with his words, how could she say anything? She could only swallow her anger and said to Tang Shichu with a forced smile: "Mom will try her best to take good care of your brother..."

"I knew that since mom chose to give birth to a younger brother at an advanced age, she must have considered these situations a long time ago. Mom will definitely be able to handle these things. This makes me feel much more relieved." Tang Shichu's words were like a slap in the face to her mother, so much so that she even suspected that her daughter was mocking her.

But Tang Shichu spoke so sincerely, she definitely didn't mean that! Tang's mother rejected this idea herself, and then talked to Tang Shichu for a while, asking about her school life, and then ended the call.

Tang Shichu looked at the hung up phone with a sarcastic smile on her face. Of course she could say such nice things. After all, it was not her who worked hard to take care of the children at home. Why should she agree with Tang's mother's complaints?

Maybe after she finishes complaining and calms down, she will start to wonder if she is jealous of her newborn brother and that is why she has so many complaints about him. At that time, she will not remember that she was the one who started complaining first.

When she looks back on these in the future, perhaps they will be memories of the joys and sorrows of taking care of her son.

Tang Shichu did not go home during the summer vacation. The excuse she gave to her family was that she wanted to work as a tutor to earn tuition and living expenses. Tang's mother had expected her to help take care of Tang Xiaodi after the vacation so that she could relax for two months, but when she heard her reason, she was speechless, because as parents, they really didn't give their daughter a penny this semester, and their daughter had to work part-time at school, so how could she have the face to ask her daughter to come back to help her take care of her son?

"So that's how it is? Daughter, you have worked hard. It's all because your dad and mom are useless and can't earn money to send you to school. Please don't blame us." Tang's mother said embarrassedly to Tang Shichu.

Tang Shichu said very sensibly: "Of course I won't blame you and dad. You have raised me and have fulfilled your responsibilities as parents. Besides, I have a younger brother at home. He is so young, and it is most important that you take good care of him."

"My dear daughter, you are sensible. But if you don't come back during the holidays, you won't be able to see your brother, and your brother must miss you too." Mother Tang tried hard to find a topic.

However, this topic is obviously unreliable. When Tang Shichu left home for the Chinese New Year, Tang Xiaodi was only two months old. It was impossible for him to have any impression of his sister. It would be strange if he missed his sister. He might not even know what a sister is.

However, Tang Shichu didn't say much, but smiled and said: "Brother, if you miss me, you can video chat with me. I am still free in the evening."

"Okay, then I will find time tonight for you and your brother to have a video chat so that you two can develop a relationship. Otherwise, when you go home for the New Year, he won't recognize you..." Mother Tang said quickly.

"Yeah, by the way, Mom, you and Dad have to take care of your health and don't be too tired. Even for your younger brother, you have to stay healthy." Tang Shichu very sensibly reminded her parents to take care of their health. Tang's mother was very touched and felt that her daughter had become much more sensible after having a younger brother.

If Tang Shichu knew that she would think this way, he would definitely not be able to help but spit at her. Why would an only child who had been somewhat willful since childhood suddenly become sensible? Because her life had suddenly changed, so she had to be sensible. Once she dared not to be sensible, she would be blamed and abandoned by everyone.

After dealing with Tang's mother, Tang Shichu no longer cared about the trivial matters at home. She said that staying to earn money was not entirely an excuse not to go home. She found a summer internship as a translator in a foreign company, so naturally she could not go back.

But she would occasionally listen to the complaints of Tang's mother and father, and comfort them, and persuade them to be patient. After all, her younger brother was the most important, and for her younger brother, any hardship was worth it...

Tang Shichu kept making chicken soup for them and encouraged them to be good older parents, but as time went by, she could still feel their increasing irritability and pain. This was because they had to take care of a young child, had to overdraw their bodies and work overtime to earn money, were mentally and physically exhausted, and yet had to deal with an extremely energetic child every day. It would be strange if they didn't collapse.

But it doesn't matter. Every time the winter vacation comes, Tang Shichu will go back to help them relax and give them some medicine so that they can stay healthy and not get sick from the children. But as soon as Shichu returns to school, they have to continue to endure the torture.

If Tang's father had not died of cerebral hemorrhage in this life, Tang's mother would naturally not abandon her younger brother Tang and remarry. The couple had to drag their increasingly aging bodies to take care of their increasingly energetic son. After a few years, even though they were physically fine, they were mentally exhausted. They had long regretted having another child.

After Tang Shichu graduated, they asked her to return to her hometown to work and take care of her younger brother "by the way", but Tang Shichu refused without hesitation, and her father and mother were helpless with her.

There was no way to leave their son to their daughter's care, so they had to continue to live with their son in pain. They were at an age where they should be enjoying their retirement, but they had to struggle for their son. Their life was truly miserable.

Of course, Tang Shichu is not really an ungrateful person. She comes back once a year to visit her parents and pays them alimony every month. She has fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter, and no one can blame her.

However, they wanted to gain undue benefits for their son from Tang Shichu and ask her to become a brother-supporting demon, but that was impossible. After all, Tang Xiaodi was only her brother, not her son, and she had no obligations to him.

Supported by Tang Shichu's magic medicine, Tang's father and mother lived to their seventies and eighties. They raised Tang Xiaodi to adulthood, watched him get married and have children, but their quality of life was not good at all. They spent the last few decades of their lives worrying about their son, because Tang Xiaodi was just an ordinary person. He was admitted to an ordinary university, and had to worry about finding a job after graduation. After working, he could not buy a house in the city, so he had to return to his hometown to go on a blind date with a girl in the next county, and continue to live an ordinary life.

This made Tang's father and mother very unwilling, because their daughter, Tang Shichu, was very successful outside and lived a much better life than Tang Xiaodi, but she had always refused to help her younger brother. How could Tang's father and mother not feel resentful?

But Tang Shichu didn't care at all.
