"It's okay." Ye Xiaozhen patted his back gently and whispered, "It's only when you care that you feel bad. Didn't you say that you don't care anymore? I'm not feeling bad. Her son is dying, so she should be feeling bad."
Yes, it hurts if you care. He said he no longer cares, but why does it still hurt?
"Actually...actually, when she first left, I thought about her every day. At the beginning, I thought she would suddenly come back and tell us that she didn't abandon us, but just got lost or met with a bad situation and couldn't come back, and she had finally managed to run away and come back to see us.
Xiaozhen, you don't know how excited I was when she told us that she was sold by a trafficker and couldn't come back. Even though I knew she was lying, I...but in my heart, I still hoped that it was true. Tell me, am I a jerk?"
"No, no, I know how you feel."
"you understand?"
"Well, I understand. Children are naturally close to their mothers. No matter how bad the mother is, they will still hope for a perfect mother in their hearts. Xie Linan, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I also dreamed that Sun Qing was my biological mother. In the dream, she treated me the same way as Ye Xiaochun. Sun Qing treated me so badly, but I still had such a dream. Do you think it's shameless?"
"No, it's not." Xie Linan stood up and looked at Ye Xiaozhen, only to find that her eyes were wet.
He flicked the corners of her eyes and said, "You are just too envious of them. You want too much to have a biological mother who can pamper you."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Right? Actually, the mother you are thinking of, or the mother in my dreams, is not them. That is our own perfect mother, and has nothing to do with them."
"Really?"
Ye Xiaozhen nodded, "Really, that's it. It's not wrong to yearn for a better life, and it's also normal. When our parents are not good enough, we will think about having good enough parents and envy those around us. This is normal."
"So I always tried to make excuses for her, starting with hoping she would come back suddenly, and then finding all kinds of reasons why she couldn't come back. I knew she left on purpose, but I couldn't help but think of all kinds of possibilities. It turned out that the mother I imagined was not the same as her."
"Yes, it's not a single one. You don't have to bear any psychological burden."
As they talked, their voices became quieter, but unexpectedly, they still woke up the sleeping child.
Erbao came in her little nightgown at some point and stood at their door, asking curiously, "Dad, are you two mothers?"
This sound gave them a fright.
They lived in a large suite on the second floor, and the study was converted into a children's room for their four children, which was right next door.
At this time, they never expected that the second baby was not asleep.
Xie Linan got out of bed and picked her up. "Erbao, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I heard you talking, and I got up to listen."
Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan glanced at each other.
Ye Xiaozhen asked: "How much have you heard?"
"It's not much. I just heard you say you envy other people's parents, dads and two moms."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…” It seems like she just came here and didn’t hear much.
"Don't talk nonsense. He doesn't have two mothers. He just dreamed about it. Everything in the dream was fake."
"Ah? Was that Dad having a nightmare?"
Xie Linan smiled and said, "Yes, Dad had a nightmare and dreamed of both mothers, so he woke up from the nightmare. Your mother was just comforting me."
Erbao stared with clear eyes, an expression of disbelief.
"It turns out that dad also has nightmares, and when he has a nightmare, he needs mom to comfort him."
"Yes, everyone has nightmares. Has Erbao ever had a nightmare?"
"I did, but when I woke up I knew it was fake, so I wasn't scared, and I didn't need any coaxing."
Um?
Xie Linan and Ye Xiaozhen were both surprised.
Then I heard her say, "Only fools would believe in things in dreams, like my brother."
ah?
"My little brother cries when he has a nightmare. He is so stupid that he was scared to tears by something fake."
Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan were stunned.
I had noticed before that my second child was developing faster than my first and second child, but I didn’t expect that she was so young and had already understood that the things in her dreams were fake.
Even if you have a nightmare, you won’t be scared.
Ye Xiaozhen rubbed her head and said, "Your father is also a fool. He was actually frightened. Our Erbao is smart."
When Erbao heard this, he shook his head happily.
Ye Xiaozhen said: "But sleeping will help your brain grow. If you want to be smarter, you should go to sleep as soon as possible."
"Oh, then I'll just take a poop and go to sleep."
"Okay, go ahead."
She didn't even need them to take her there, she just ran to the toilet on her own.
After going to the toilet, he would wash himself and then climb into the crib to sleep.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything, fearing that if they opened their mouths, they would attract the curious baby to come over.
After a long while, there was no sound from the other side.
Xie Linan got out of bed carefully, tiptoed to the next room, and checked them one by one.
꺘그's breathing was long and deep, and he slowly came over after making sure he was soundly asleep.
"Asleep." The voice was very soft.
Ye Xiaozhen said, "Then we should go to bed. It's getting late."
"Ah? Then..." Xie Linan hesitated to speak.
Ye Xiaozhen yawned, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Don't worry. If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will cover it with earth. She can't do anything to us if we don't want to. As long as we have no morals, we don't have to worry about being kidnapped by morality. Sleep."
Xie Linan didn't say anything else, he just pulled her into his arms.
It was a little hot, and it was uncomfortable to sleep with him in her arms, but she endured it.
…
Even though he knew the purpose of Sun Lan's family, Xie Linan still refrained from causing trouble for them.
Now the two brothers-in-law have started their exams. Xie Linan drives them to school every day with home-cooked meals and encourages them at the same time.
The two brothers-in-law were overwhelmed with love, thinking that this was the first time in their lives that they saw their eldest brother showing obvious care and concern for them.
This doesn't mean that Big Brother treats them badly.
It is naturally good for them to be able to raise them like sons.
But he is careless by nature, and even if he cares, he won't show it too much.
Now that it is so obvious, they are flattered.
"Brother, why are you suddenly so nice to us?"
"This is prepared by your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law specially prepared a nutritious meal for you."
"It turned out that it was my sister-in-law who did it. Brother, please thank my sister-in-law for us."
"Okay, eat quickly, and then study hard for the exam. Get into a good university, so that you can live up to your sister-in-law and me. If you don't get into university..."
"Brother, I'm sure you can." Xie Lin hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't say anything unlucky."
In the past, Xie Linan would have definitely scolded him, but he not only did not scold him, but also apologized for what he had said.
