Kuai Le Le was originally looking at her sister curiously, but became a little scared when she saw this. She quickly hugged her mother and looked at her sister innocently.
Xie's mother softened her heart and coaxed her, "How could that be? Dad and Mom love Xiaoni the most. They won't abandon Xiaoni. They are just busy with work and don't have time to take care of Xiaoni..."
"No, wuwuwuwu, that's not it. Mom and Dad just don't want Xiaoni anymore. They, they already have a younger brother, and they're going to give birth to a younger brother. They don't want Xiaoni anymore. Wuwuwuwu~"
What?
Mother Xie subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Lin Xiangyi. Why didn’t she understand?
Lin Xiangyi asked: "Do you mean, Mom is pregnant?" Or gave birth?
Xiao Ni shook her head and cried without saying anything. She turned around and walked behind the haystack. Lin Xiangyi and Xie's mother then saw that there were a lot of luggage behind the haystack. Xiao Ni took out a letter from it and handed it to Xie's mother: "Hey, woo woo woo... Dad gave you this..."
Xie's mother didn't know many words, so she handed it to Lin Xiangyi. Lin Xiangyi opened it and read it three lines at a glance.
"What did he say?" Xie's mother asked anxiously. Aunt Zhao also looked at Lin Xiangyi expectantly.
Lin Xiangyi looked unhappy: "Brother said that Sun Lanjun is pregnant..."
"Really?" Xie's mother exclaimed, and became even more anxious: "Well, with family planning now, they won't be able to have the baby even if they get pregnant, right?"
"Mom, please listen to me first," Lin Xiangyi said, "They really can't have children, but they insist on keeping the child. The company found out and now both of them have been fired. The company's house has been reclaimed. In order to make a living and give birth to the baby in their belly smoothly, they plan to go to Guangdong Province, but they can't take Xiaoni with them, so they can only trouble you and dad to help take care of her. At the end, he said that he knew he was wrong, and when he comes back, he will bring Sun Lanjun to you and dad to kowtow and admit his mistake... Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Happy and cheerful: "Milk? Ahhhh?"
Aunt Zhao: “Sister!”
Mother Xie rolled her eyes and almost fainted from anger. Fortunately, Lin Xiangyi and Aunt Zhao reacted quickly and pulled her back.
“You bastard, you bastard!” Mother Xie was so angry that she couldn’t breathe. But when she saw Xiao Ni behind her didn’t dare to cry out loud but just wiped her tears silently, she could only hold back her anger. She waved her hand to call Xiao Ni over, hugged her, and said in a sobbing voice: “My poor child, how could you have such an unreliable pair of parents… Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’ll be here for you, and I won’t abandon you.”
"Wa ...
Aunt Zhao was so moved that she wiped her eyes.
Kuai Le Le didn't know what he sensed, and he tugged at Lin Xiangyi's clothes anxiously, asking for a hug.
As they grew older, they became heavier. Lin Xiangyi could hold one, but it was a bit difficult to hold two. But at this time, she still picked them up and kissed them.
While Xie's mother was comforting Xiaoni, Lin Xiangyi called the store in the county town and asked the employees to help look for Brother Xie at his home and at the train station. Of course, they didn't find him in the end, so Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun went to Guangdong Province anyway.
Xie's father and mother were so angry that they scolded Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun, but after that they could only sigh.
Mother Xie: "What should we do now? Just let them go and abandon Xiaoni?"
"Then what else can we do?" Xie's father said, holding back his anger. If Brother Xie was here, he would probably be chased and hacked by him with a knife.
I used to think that the eldest son was the most reliable and the youngest son was the least worrying, but I didn’t expect it to be completely the opposite. The one who is the least worrying is the youngest son, and the one who is the least worrying is the eldest son!
I really owe him!
"I don't care where they go, even if they die," Xie's mother said harshly, "I just feel sorry for Xiaoni. How could they have the heart to do that to such a young child... Xiangyi!"
Mother Xie remembered and asked hurriedly, "They went to Guang Province, and A Xiao also went to Guang Province. Can we ask A Xiao to go look for them?"
"Mom, Guang Province is very big, and we don't know where my eldest brother and the others have gone. Looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's very difficult to find them," Lin Xiangyi said. She didn't want Xie Qingxiao to waste time and manpower and resources looking for two people who had voluntarily abandoned their family and daughter.
"Yes, don't ask Xiao to look for them," Xie's father agreed. "Xiao is doing business, don't bother him to go look for them. It's a waste of time! As for the couple, they can go wherever they want. I will treat them as dead outside. Don't even think about entering the house when they come back!"
"They left Xiaoni behind without caring about her. Don't even think about recognizing her again in the future!"
...Xiao Ni stayed at home like this.
She was just five years old, but her parents’ abandonment made her grow up overnight. She became silent and "sensible".
After she came back, Xie's mother lived with her in their original house.
When Xie's mother got up, Xiao Ni got up too. Xie's mother gave her some milk powder to drink, let her play outside in the yard, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Xiao Ni would finish her milk powder quickly and follow Xie's mother closely. When Xie's mother washed rice, she would scoop water, and when Xie's mother cooked porridge, she would watch the fire... Of course, she was small and often made things worse, so Xie's mother asked her to go out and play.
But when Xie's mother came out again, she saw Xiao Ni struggling to hold the broom and began to sweep the floor. The broom was too big for her, and she had to use all her strength to swing it, but she swept very seriously... Xie's mother hugged her and cried several times.
Xiao Ni's change moved everyone, including Lin Xiangyi.
Xiaoni was afraid of her to begin with, and now she was even more afraid. Every time Lin Xiangyi asked Xiaoni to do something, Xiaoni would do it immediately. In Xiaoni's opinion, Lin Xiangyi's words were more effective than anyone else's, even more effective than Xie's father and mother.
Others didn't understand the reason and thought that it was because Lin Xiangyi wouldn't pamper and obey Xiaoni like Xie's father and mother did, so Xiaoni was afraid of her. But Lin Xiangyi understood.
Xiao Ni learned to be well-behaved, sensible, and help with housework, which were probably the "secrets to staying in the Xie family" taught to her by Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun.
Xie's father and mother were Xiaoni's grandparents, so it was unlikely that they would drive Xiaoni out. But Lin Xiangyi was different. She had no blood relationship with Xiaoni and she was not on good terms with Sun Lanjun, so in Sun Lanjun's opinion, Lin Xiangyi was very likely to drive Xiaoni out.
Now the Xie family is headed by Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. If Lin Xiangyi wants to drive Xiaoni out, Xie's father and mother probably can't stop her. So Xiaoni tries her best to please Lin Xiangyi.
But Lin Xiangyi, who knew all this, did not try to coax Xiaoni, saying that she would not drive her out. She treated Xiaoni as usual, and would reason with her when she made mistakes. She would also bring some food and clothes for Xiaoni when she brought them to Kuai Le Le, and would not hesitate to tell Xiaoni what to do...
Xiao Ni gradually went from being so nervous at the beginning to finally being less nervous.
