Chapter 1239: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (5)

"Xiaoling, would you like to sleep with your brother and dad tonight?" Du Zhou asked as he carried Du Xiaoling home.

Du Xiaoling rubbed her eyes. She was very sleepy, but after hearing her father's words, she suddenly became energetic again. She said in a baby voice, "But dad, auntie said that girls can't get too close to other men casually..."

Duzhou choked, and after a while he explained: "Dad is not another man, he is your dad. You are still young, so it's okay for you to sleep with dad. When you are a few years older, you can sleep by yourself."

"Is that so?" Du Xiaoling said in a daze, "But, but Auntie said that some children's fathers may not be good people..."

Duzhou's face turned dark. He didn't know what Shichu had said to the child to make the child doubt his own father. He asked with a dark face: "Xiaoling, Xiaoshi, did Aunt Wan say bad things about Dad and make you stop kissing Dad?"

Du Xiaoling said with a puzzled look: "No, Dad, Auntie is very nice and she even bought me milk to drink."

"Hmph, Du Xiaoling, you were so easily bribed by that woman? You're so useless!" Du Xiaoshi said with disdain.

"Brother, what does bribery mean?" Du Xiaoling asked with innocent and pure eyes.

Du Xiaoshi choked and stammered, unable to explain clearly. In the end, he could only push it all to his father: "I can't explain it clearly, you can ask Dad."

So Du Xiaoling blinked her big, sparkling eyes and looked at Duzhou.

Duzhou racked his brains and finally squeezed out an easy-to-understand explanation: "It means that someone gives you good things, such as candy, and hopes that you will play with him in the future..."

"So Auntie gave me milk because she wanted me to play with her?" Du Xiaoling said excitedly, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Du Zhou couldn't think of a more appropriate explanation for her, so he just nodded and tacitly agreed with her meaning. Du Xiaoling was even happier and said, "Then Dad came back today and bought me new clothes and candies. He must have bribed me! Dad, don't be afraid. Even if you don't bribe me, I'm willing to play with you..."

Duzhou: ...

Finally, he could only answer: "Dad likes to play with you, too. There is no need to bribe the relationship between us. Bribery is a relationship of interest, but Dad only loves you, and it has nothing to do with interest."

Du Xiaoling didn't quite understand what he said, but she still felt that her father loved her, so she stayed closer to him.

At this time, the father and daughter had long forgotten the previous topic, but when they returned home and Du Zhou was about to take Du Xiaoling back to her room, Du Xiaoling suddenly remembered it again and hurriedly reminded her father: "Dad, girls should sleep with girls. You sleep with my brother. I want to sleep with my aunt."

Du Zhou didn't expect Du Xiaoling to be so persistent. After his persuasion failed, he had to let Du Xiaoshi go to sleep first. He then carried Du Xiaoling to Shi Chu's room, hoping that Shi Chu would persuade her.

Duzhou knocked on Shichu's door: "Wancaoer! Are you asleep?"

Shi Chu had fallen asleep, but when he knocked on the door, she woke up immediately. She quickly got up, turned on the light, opened the door and asked, "What do you want from me so late?"

Shi Chu had just gotten out of bed, wearing only a thin nightgown. The soft and close-fitting fabric showed off her perfect figure. She had been eating well and sleeping soundly during this period, and she didn't have to do any heavy work. Naturally, her original skinny and malnourished body had recovered. As a result, she was now slender, with rosy lips and white teeth. Under the dim light, she looked like a beautiful lady with black hair like clouds.

When Duzhou first saw her like this, his heart beat violently several times, and his eyes seemed to be burned by fire. He quickly turned his eyes away, secretly spitting on himself for being attracted to this selfish and shameless woman. So to avoid suspicion, he questioned her in a cover-up: "Xiaoling said that you told her not to get too close to other men, and she doesn't even want to get close to me. Are you instigating her to be estranged from me?"

When Shi Chu heard what he said, he was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was going on. He was immediately in tears and laughed, and said, "That's not what I meant. Xiao Ling misunderstood."

"Then what do you mean?" Duzhou asked with a serious face.

"A month ago, there was a 19-year-old mentally retarded girl in the village next to us. She was sexually assaulted for a long time by a bachelor in his thirties or forties from the same village. He used intimidation and inducement, and lured her with food and some snacks. He also threatened her not to tell her family, otherwise her family would abandon her... That girl was harmed by him. I was afraid that Xiao Ling would be deceived by other men in the same way, so I told her not to get too close to other men. Do you think I was wrong to teach her like this?" Shi Chu said to Duzhou very frankly.

There will always be a shortage of scumbags, and this kind of thing is more likely to happen between male relatives than to strangers. Shi Chu didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching Du Xiaoling to keep a distance from men. Of course, she was less than three years old and not old enough to avoid her father. Du Zhou had a good character and was not a beast who would attack his own child, so he was not on Du Xiaoling's list of people she needed to be wary of.

After hearing what she said, Duzhou's pupils shrank in shock. He was a well-traveled truck driver, so he naturally knew what Shi Chu meant. He just didn't know that such a thing would happen so close to him. He couldn't help but hugged his daughter tightly in his arms.

If his daughter was treated like that, he would definitely die with the evil man at all costs. Thinking of this, he suddenly understood that Shi Chu was right to teach his daughter to keep a distance from other men.

"You're not wrong, I misunderstood." Duzhou knew that he had misunderstood Shi Chu, so he apologized readily. He was not the kind of person who was so arrogant that he was unwilling to admit his mistakes.

"Dad, can I sleep with Auntie?" Xiao Ling was very sleepy and couldn't help but ask Duzhou in a low voice.

Duzhou was just thinking about letting her do what she likes, but Shichu spoke up. She said to Xiaoling, "Xiaoling, it's okay for you to get close to daddy. Daddy is often away on business. Don't you miss him? You are still young and don't need to be shy about anything. But auntie told you that even daddy can't touch or look at places casually. Do you remember?"

Du Xiaoling answered a little slowly: "Remember... I can't let anyone touch the part where I wear shorts and a vest. I can only ask my aunt, grandmother, or aunt to help me when I take a bath or pee..."

"Very good, Xiaoling, you remember it very clearly, that's great." Shi Chu praised her, "You can sleep in the same room with your father and brother tonight."
