Chapter 215
Duofu's messy hair was caused by rolling around in bed.
She rolled around for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep, so she came out for fear of waking up her sister Xing'er.
Tian Bajiao said, "You are not afraid of waking up your Aunt Bajiao."
Doesn't she look like a sucker?
Tian Bajiao ignored Duofu's cautious gaze, lying comfortably and asked her: "Why is your mind so messed up? Are you missing your mother?"
“I don’t know…” Duofu crawled over Tian Bajiao and put his shoes on the ground. At Tian Bajiao’s invitation, he lay down next to her and whispered, “Auntie, I’m a little happy. Is that too bad?”
Since she was a child, Duofu has heard her mother tell her that children should know how to be filial to their elders and be considerate of their elders, just like she does to her grandparents, and must never be like her sister, otherwise people will laugh at them and say that they have no family education and will never be able to marry into a good family in the future.
Duofu actually didn’t quite understand, nor did he really want to listen.
But now that she is separated from her mother, while she feels relieved, she also feels...she feels guilty.
Her mother is very good to her and works so hard to raise her every day, but she is only happy when she is away from her mother. Isn't that too bad?
"Why is it bad?" Tian Bajiao didn't understand. "Do you really want to be a hypocritical fool? Happy is happy, sad is sad. Why force yourself to have something you don't feel? Will you get any benefits if you have it?"
"But... that's my mother... I didn't even tell her, and I agreed to Madam Liu, and I was so happy. Am I being too unfair to my mother?"
Duofu was about to cry as he spoke.
Tian Bajiao: "So what do you want to do? Go ask her?"
"Is it okay? Isn't it too late?" Duofu was still a little tempted.
But Tian Bajiao just said it casually. She clearly meant that even if she asked her, it would not change anything. Shuang Gui could watch one daughter being sold, so she could naturally watch another daughter becoming an apprentice. What would it matter even if she told her?
Tian Bajiao: "If you want to see your mother, you can talk to Madam Liu. She probably won't refuse you. You can also go there secretly when buying vegetables, or... you can wait for your mother to come to you."
"Grandpa said that Mom needs to rest..."
"It's not like she has to rest for the rest of her life. If she wants to come, she can't now, but she will come after she gives birth."
Tian Bajiao, these are all good ideas.
Duofu asked her, "Will it take a long time?"
"It's ten months of pregnancy, and you're waiting like a year. If she doesn't come by this time next year, then she probably won't come at all."
"Next year...that's too long,"
The child was a little pushy, "Auntie, I want to go see my mother secretly. Can you go with me?"
"Why should I accompany you? She is not my mother. I don't want to see her." Tian Bajiao was not very willing.
Duofu whispered, "Grandpa won't scold me if there are outsiders here."
That's not necessarily true. If Madam Liu, Boss Shen and others went there, the old doctor would naturally not scold them. But Tian Bajiao is just a waiter. What if the old man is a snob? How could he take her seriously?
"Wait a minute, I'm not well yet, and I can't go far even if I want to."
Tian Bajiao politely declined.
The child didn't understand what she said and thought she agreed: "So we have a deal?"
“…It’s a deal.”
"Thank you, Auntie!"
The child came over and kissed Tian Bajiao softly on the face, then crawled to the ground, put on his shoes and left.
"Auntie, sleep well, I'm going back."
She no longer had any regrets and didn't say anything about the mess.
Tian Bajiao: Did I fall into a trap?
She really suspected that the kid was here to deceive people, but it didn't matter, Tian Bajiao had no intention of going at all.
She also didn't expect that this child could be so patient. He just kept waiting and waiting until Tian Bajiao couldn't pretend anymore and started walking. He ran to her and asked, "Auntie, when are we going to find my mother?"
Tian Bajiao: "You haven't been there yet?"
"No... didn't we agree on this?" Her eyes looked pitiful.
Tian Bajiao didn't want to make her cry, so he said, "I thought you went there secretly. If not... shall we go tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Duofu said, holding up his pinky finger. "Make a pinky ...
Tian Bajiao: "...It's a deal."
Just make it a decision. It’s tiring to just sit idle.
Tian Bajiao was fine, but Boss Shen was reluctant to fire Aunt Zhao, so he asked her to work there until the end of the month.
In this way, Tian Bajiao has a lot of free time. There is only a little thing to do every day, so it doesn't hurt to go out for a while.
But Tian Bajiao didn't plan to go secretly. She told Boss Shen directly and said, "I was just trying to coax her. If it wasn't suitable, I wouldn't have gone."
"You want me to be the bad guy, right?" Boss Shen saw through her a little and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't dream. You've already let you be the good guys, and you still want me to be bad? What kind of bad person am I? If you want to go, go ahead. It's not us who proposed it. It's just a good deed. What's so scary about it? Even if Liu Suniang finds out, I have something to say. Go ahead, just don't quarrel with others."
Hearing what she said and seeing her expression, she was still a little scared, but Tian Bajiao walked to the door reluctantly and didn't wait for her to change her mind, so he had to go.
Duofu was already waiting for her at the back door, his face full of nervousness as if he had done something bad, and he was almost walking with his hands and feet trembling. But she didn't change her mind and quickly brought Tian Bajiao to the drugstore as if she was familiar with it. However, she hesitated and didn't dare to go in.
Tian Bajiao: "What's wrong?"
"My dad is there." She pointed carefully, hiding herself.
There was indeed a relatively young man at the counter who looked a bit like the old man.
Tian Bajiao: "Why are you hiding when you see your father? Does your father curse people too?"
"My dad doesn't curse..." Duofu couldn't describe the feeling, "Oh, anyway, I don't want to see him, let's go to the back door and take a look."
The back door of her house was ajar. After carefully pushing it open a little, I could see Shuanggui washing clothes. She seemed to have gained some weight, and her belly had become more noticeable.
Duofu hadn't seen her for more than three months, so he was inevitably a little surprised and immediately called out, "Mom!"
Shuang Gui paused as she pounded her clothes: "Duofu?!"
She put down the washing hammer, and before she could stand up, Duofu ran over and hugged her neck. Shuanggui hugged her back, her voice a little choked, but the words she said were chilling: "Duofu, why are you back? What trouble did you get into?"
Duofu was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew from her embrace and shook his head: "No, I missed mom, so I came back to see you."
"Oh! How can this be possible? Have you told Mr. Zhou Er and Madam Liu?"
Shuang Gui asked anxiously.
