Chapter 66 Are she and Mianmian mother and daughter?; Come quickly, save my son

"Oh, so it was you who sent the eggs. Mianmian was right, it was a housewarming gift from the neighbor.

Thank you so much for giving us so many eggs. We ate them all. My daughter-in-law had five poached eggs.

Liu Ruolan didn't know that Dong Qingqiu was Chen Mianmian's biological mother. She just thought she was a caring neighbor and pulled her aside to express her gratitude.

She even asked her where she bought the eggs. If she could buy them, Liu Ruolan would also like to buy some more to feed the children at home.

Dong Qingqiu was happy to hear that Chen Mianmian had eaten five eggs. He talked with Liu Ruolan for a while. Then he heard the sound of something falling in the house, so he hurried in.

After she cleaned up the mess in the room, she frowned slightly as she covered her stomach which was aching from hunger.

Ever since her stepson was injured and disabled, the atmosphere at home has been bad. Now the aunt who helps with cooking has to take care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement. She doesn't even have anyone to help her and is worried all day long.

Dong Qingqiu became even angrier when he thought about that heartless kid who didn't recognize him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Dong Qingqiu frowned and went out. Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, he saw Liu Ruolan's gentle face and a small bowl of egg pancakes, plus a small bowl of millet porridge.

"Sister, I just heard you say you didn't have breakfast, right? This is what I just made. Eat it while it's hot. Your lips are pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Dong Qingqiu stared blankly at the fragrant pancakes and porridge. He didn't expect that Liu Ruolan would cook for him.

The pride in her heart made her too embarrassed to eat other people's food, but Liu Ruolan just stuffed the food into her hands and left.

She wanted to return the food, but she thought of her stepson who had also not eaten anything. He had only eaten what she cooked these days, and no one had eaten well. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and took it back to her room.

Liu Ruolan is a very good cook, and she uses a lot of eggs. The egg pancake is soft and salty, and paired with the soft, sweet millet porridge, it is the best meal Dong Qingqiu and her mother have had recently.

Before they knew it, they had eaten everything.

Dong Qingqiu didn't expect that he could eat so much, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

After washing the basin, she took another pound of sugar and walked to the Su family's yard.

After knocking on the door twice, she faintly heard Liu Ruolan's voice asking her to come in.

When Dong Qingqiu pushed the door open, he saw a clean and tidy yard and the intermittent sound of a sewing machine.

Following the sound, I saw that Liu Ruolan was entangled in the thread of the sewing machine, so she couldn't get out.

Seeing Dong Qingqiu coming over, she felt a little embarrassed and explained that she wanted to use a sewing machine to make clothes, but she didn't know how to use it, so her daughter-in-law asked her to study it.

Liu Ruolan had only seen her elder sister-in-law and others use it, but no one taught her, so she couldn't understand some of the steps because she didn't understand them.

Dong Qingqiu put down what he was holding, walked over and untied the spool of thread from Liu Ruolan's body, and then gently taught her how to thread the needle, how to use the pedals, and how to lock the edges...

Liu Ruolan was very clever and skillful. After Dong Qingqiu taught her for a while, she was able to do the most basic wiring. She was as happy as a child and pulled her to express her gratitude.

"It's nothing."

Dong Qingqiu likes to make clothes. Many of the clothes in the house are made by herself. Teaching Liu Ruolan these things is a piece of cake for her.

Especially when Dong Qingqiu heard Liu Ruolan say that she wanted to make a wedding dress for her daughter-in-law to wear on the day of getting the marriage certificate, her face changed. For some reason, she felt a little sad in her heart. Marriage was such a big thing, but that girl actually decided it on her own.

But thinking about what Chen Mianmian said yesterday, Dong Qingqiu felt a little guilty. If he had paid more attention, the child wouldn't have had such a hard life.

So she offered to help make clothes, especially wedding dresses. She knew several fashionable suit styles and could make them for Chen Mianmian.

"That's great, thank you, big sister. I don't have much to thank you for. You must have dinner at my house."

Dong Qingqiu wanted to decline politely and walked out, but Liu Ruolan chased her out and talked to her. This was what Chen Mianmian and Su Buyan saw.

"Oh, Mianmian, Buyan, you should thank this aunt. She gave us eggs and sugar, and even helped mom make your wedding dress... Ugh!"

Before Liu Ruolan could finish her words, Dong Qingqiu covered her mouth. But then she felt that she was being too hasty and couldn't hold back her pride, so she ran out.

Chen Mianmian looked at her figure, not understanding what Dong Qingqiu meant.

When I came to see her, she ignored me, but now she comes to me again.

"Hey, big sister, why did you leave? Come to dinner tonight!"

Liu Ruolan was about to call Dong Qingqiu when Su Buyan stopped her and briefly explained the relationship between her and Chen Mianmian.

"She, she and Mianmian are mother and daughter?"

Liu Ruolan widened her eyes in disbelief, but when she thought about it carefully, she suddenly realized. No wonder she felt close to Dong Qingqiu when she saw him. It turned out that he looked quite like her daughter-in-law.

If this was my mother-in-law, wouldn’t what I just made be too shabby? If I had known earlier, she would have made meat buns.

Seeing Liu Ruolan being so cautious, afraid that Dong Qingqiu would dislike her, Chen Mianmian took her hand and comforted her.

"Mom, you don't have to think too much. She and I have no feelings for each other, and she doesn't want to recognize me. From now on, we can just get along as ordinary neighbors."

Chen Mianmian's tone was very calm, and she never thought that Dong Qingqiu would come for her.

However, Liu Ruolan refuted her this time, sighed softly, and straightened the hair around Chen Mianmian's ears.

"Silly child, if she didn't want to recognize you, why would she give you eggs? I was wondering why she specifically asked about this just now. It turns out she was thinking about you.

I can tell that my mother-in-law isn't the type to be good at socializing, but she still chats with me, and the topic always turns to you. She's thinking about you."

Hearing this, Chen Mianmian's heart moved, and she was a little bit unbelievable. Dong Qingqiu, thinking about her???

Looking at Chen Mianmian's ignorant and bewildered look, Liu Ruolan's eyes were full of pity. This silly child had never experienced the feeling of being cared for and loved since childhood, so naturally he didn't know what it felt like to be remembered by others.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruolan actually felt a little resentful towards Dong Qingqiu. How could he be so cruel as to abandon his ten-day-old daughter to someone else and walk away? But she still tried to persuade Chen Mianmian.

After all, they are mother and daughter. If Dong Qingqiu really cares about Chen Mianmian, she might as well put aside her prejudice and try to get in touch with her. Even if she doesn't get close to her from the beginning, at least she will have a chance to understand her.

Chen Mianmian lowered her head and said nothing. She could handle other things efficiently and decisively, but blood ties were something she could not easily sever. She had used the body of the poor little original owner and knew how much that child longed to be loved by his mother.

But the original owner is gone, and Chen Mianmian doesn't know whether she should hate Dong Qingqiu's cruelty or yearn for maternal love like the original owner.

He scratched his head in annoyance, and Su Buyan grabbed his hand. His ears were red, but his eyes were determined.

"Just follow your own heart and let nature take its course. No matter what, this will always be your home and we will always be your family."

Listening to Su Buyan's words, Chen Mianmian's irritability instantly dissipated.

Yes, let’s not worry about those illusory feelings for now. The cooperation between her and Su Buyan is as firm as iron.

Just as he put on a smile and was about to praise Su Buyan, he heard Dong Qingqiu let out a shrill scream.

"Hurry, hurry up, someone come and save my son!!"
