Chapter 124: Covering his stomach and falling to the ground
Speaking of Gu Qingye, Xiaodong was more excited than anyone else, and he talked to Qiu Tian about the egg pancakes he had eaten last time.
Although he still likes his own father the most, Gu Qingye's position in his heart is infinitely close to Shen Shiling.
Being tall and mighty and being able to cook so many delicious foods, he is a very powerful figure in the children's hearts. Even though Gu Qingye is serious, it does not affect the children's yearning for him.
"Thank you, Auntie." Qiu said in a soft voice and smiled shyly.
Lu Youyou has always liked pretty and sensible children. Qiutian inherited Wang Manzhi's oval face and double eyelids. Because she is thin, her eyes look bigger and dark like grapes.
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."
Qiu ate the food in small bites very carefully. She thought of her mother who had to vomit every day, and she was reluctant to eat the two in her hand.
She put it into her pocket carefully, changing her position so as not to squash the cake.
This is the happiest sea-hunting experience I have had in my entire autumn life.
My clothes and pants were not wet, I ate delicious little cakes, and the bamboo basket was almost full. There were no shells, only fat fish.
"Autumn, can you talk to your family and come out and play for a while every evening?"
There was a little boy looking at Autumn hesitantly, but Autumn hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head.
Xiaodong leaned in and whispered, "When your grandma is not at home one day, come find us. Zhuifeng can help keep watch so your grandma won't find out."
Lu Youyou smiled, Xiaodong is just full of ideas. Zhuifeng, a fighting hero, not only has to play with him but also has to keep watch. His retirement life is so colorful.
Zhuifeng listened without moving his ears, he was used to it. His trainer had told him since he was young that he should take on as much responsibility as he had abilities, and that this was what would happen if he was too outstanding.
Xiao Huihui stood on Lu Youyou's shoulder and curled his lips in disdain. When it came to keeping watch, who could compare to him? He simply didn't want to participate in such childish activities, otherwise how could he get the chance to chase the wind?
In the fall, he brought back fish and his clothes and shoes were clean. Old Mrs. Wu glared at him for a long time but finally stopped scolding him.
Autumn took a handkerchief, wrapped the small cake and quietly stuffed it into the gap between the pillow and the quilt.
She also drank the cold porridge on the table carefully. There was still a hint of sweetness left in her mouth. Today's porridge was as sweet as honey water.
Autumn waited for a whole day and finally waited for her mother to come home from get off work.
Wang Manzhi walked over slowly, holding her belly. Old Mrs. Wu went over to help her, cursing at her. One moment she told her not to go to work because the child was more important. The next moment she said that whoever hurt her precious grandson would be the sinner of the Wu family.
Wang Manzhi acted as if she didn't hear anything. She held the door open and pulled her arm out of Old Lady Wu's hand.
Old Mrs. Wu gnashed her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do so she could only turn around and vent her anger on her granddaughter.
"Qiu Qiu, Qiu Qiu, where is that damn girl hiding again? Don't you know how to pour water for your mother?!"
Qiu trotted over to pour a cup of warm water, and Old Lady Wu slapped her on the shoulder but the water didn't spill.
After finally waiting for Old Lady Wu to go to the kitchen, Qiu Qiu tiptoed back to the room and took out the small cake she had hidden for the day.
"Mom, you eat."
Autumn raised her little hands high, and the cake wrapped in a handkerchief was still fluffy and sweet, just like when she ate it in the morning.
Wang Manzhi's cold and indifferent eyes fell on the pair of small hands, with a slight fluctuation in her eyes, but she didn't respond for half a minute.
"Where did it come from?"
Qiu Tian said: "Aunt Lu gave it to me when we were fishing in the sea."
Wang Manzhi thought of the confrontation between Lu Youyou and the Wu family in the early morning of that day and lowered her eyes: "Eat it yourself."
Qiu Tian was anxious, and stood on tiptoe to hand the cake to Wang Manzhi: "I ate it this morning, and I saved this for mom. It's delicious!"
Wang Manzhi's clenched hands were like the high wall in her heart.
She didn't know how to face Autumn. She had never liked girls, not even herself.
She grew up in neglect. The food, supplies and care from her parents were all left over by her younger brother, and they were even unwilling to give them to her.
The elder sister is the eldest, and the younger sister and brother are twins, a boy and a girl. She is the only one stuck in the middle and no one cares about her.
She tried her best to prove that she was no worse than anyone else, but the first thing her parents said after she was admitted to the radio station was "Can you give your job to your younger brother?"
She tried her best to find a husband's family that her parents could not ignore, but her husband's family was no different.
She was born in the fall, and what she faced was the verbal abuse from her mother-in-law outside the delivery room and the silence from her husband.
Wang Manzhi was unwilling to accept the fact that no one cared about her taking over the prime-time program and why Autumn was not a boy.
She thought that all her sufferings would end if she gave birth to a son, but she failed because she was injured during childbirth. Perhaps autumn was her only chance in this life.
Without a son, the only thing Wang Manzhi could hold on to was her job.
She has grown up without anyone paying attention to her, so what's wrong with autumn?
However, no matter how she ignored it, Autumn's love for him never diminished. But the more this happened, the more Wang Manzhi couldn't face the daughter whom she had neglected since birth.
The tug of guilt and obsession forced her to arm herself with indifference day after day.
"Eat it yourself."
Wang Manzhi stood up with the help of the table and no longer looked at Qiu Qiu's anxious face.
"Mom?" Qiu Tian's hands trembled. The two small cakes seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. "Mom..."
"You damned girl, where did you steal again? Tell me, where did this come from?!"
Old Mrs. Wu rushed in with a spatula in hand and snatched the handkerchief away. The soft cake turned into shapeless dough in a second.
Qiu Qiu was so frightened that he stood there stupidly. Two red marks appeared on the palms of his hands, which were scratched by Old Lady Wu's fingernails.
Wang Manzhi's hands tightened for a moment, and her heart felt a prickly pain.
Old Mrs. Wu glanced at Wang Manzhi and said, "The older one is shameless, and the younger one she gave birth to is also shameless!"
Everyone said that this daughter-in-law was a good choice, but Old Mrs. Wu never liked her. She couldn't give birth to grandchildren and always had a dead look on her face.
Every time she started to scold, Wu Weimin would stop her, saying that it was all for the sake of the baby in her belly. But who was she trying to fool? The son she had raised with so much effort was bewitched by Wang Manzhi and had lost his mind!
He insisted on marrying a skinny woman who didn't even have any flesh on her body. Who knows if Mr. Wang used some despicable tricks. They have been married for six or seven years, but only one autumn, when she finally got pregnant, she has been sick all day long. Who knows who she is trying to show off to?
In other families, it is the mother-in-law who sets rules for her daughter-in-law, but in their family, it is the opposite, with the mother-in-law serving the whole family.
The aroma of the small cakes did not diminish as they turned into dough lumps, and the smell of eggs and milk continued to stimulate Mrs. Wu's nerves.
"You haven't learned your lesson since childhood. You don't know how to respect your elders when you get something good. What do you want to do by hiding it secretly?!"
She glanced at Wang Manzhi with a fake smile.
"Don't tell me your mom gave it to you. You made so much money and only bought two snacks. I'm going to go out and ask whose daughter-in-law is so unfilial!"
Qiu Qiu cried, "No, no, mom, no..."
Wang Manzhi clenched her fists, her face becoming uglier and uglier: "Mom, don't speak so harshly, I... um..."
Her facial features suddenly twisted, and she fell to the ground, holding her stomach.
