"You're going to die, you evil creature!"
"Why did I raise such a heartless person like you..."
Old Mrs. Qu was so angry that she sat on the ground crying and shouting.
Qu Songsheng was very calm at this moment. He responded calmly: "Mom, if you keep crying, the neighbors will hear it and know that this is my eldest sister's child."
"Maybe someone from the family planning office will come to our house tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Lady Qu jumped up immediately.
He took the child back from Qu Songsheng's arms and said, "Okay, if you don't want to raise her, then you have the guts to sever ties with your eldest sister's family and never acknowledge her as your sister again."
Qu Songsheng stood steadily and replied: "Mom, let your eldest sister speak for you."
"If she tells me, I can deny her for the rest of my life."
"You, you, you...Okay, you're so cruel!"
Old Mrs. Qu trembled all over because of Qu Songsheng's determination at this moment.
She held the child in her arms and for the first time felt deeply frustrated in front of her youngest son.
He glared at Qu Songsheng fiercely.
Then, Mrs. Qu had to go back to her room with the child in her arms, her face livid.
There was no mention of asking Lin Wanxia to feed the child.
In fact, when Mrs. Qu brought the child back, she had already brought back a bottle of milk powder.
After all, the eldest daughter and her husband are teachers, so it was naturally thoughtful of them to let her bring the child back.
Old Mrs. Qu originally planned to let the child drink Lin Wanxia's milk.
She can save the milk powder and secretly give it to her child as a snack.
But the youngest son and his wife were adamant and refused to accept the child.
She could only curse angrily while preparing the milk powder: "Why did I give birth to such a heartless thing..."
None of the other members of the Qu family got involved in this farce of adopting a child.
Even Wang Guilan, who usually loves to take advantage of others and is always trying to figure things out, was as quiet as a chicken.
They all know that raising a child is not easy, especially for a child whose biological parents are not far apart.
If you raise it well but then it gets worse, you will easily be blamed in the future.
It’s better to just stand by and watch who will raise the child in the end. Anyway, as long as they are not allowed to raise the child, it will be fine.
Old Mrs. Qu had no choice but to raise her granddaughter herself and named her Qu Yingying.
Ying and Yin have the same pronunciation, which means that the third child will be a younger brother for the parents.
Old Mrs. Qu is over sixty years old. Although she is usually in good health, she cannot compare with young people after all.
During the day, she also has to do laundry, cook, and take care of the chickens, ducks, and pigs at home.
The baby has to get up several times a night after eating, defecating and peeing.
After a few days, her eyes became dark, her face turned yellow, and she walked unsteadily.
She was extremely tired and complained to Old Man Qu, asking him to help raise her granddaughter.
Old Man Qu promised that he would not wake up if he was called at night.
When he got anxious, he got angry and said, "I've worked hard for most of my life, and now I'm almost buried, and I can't even get a good night's sleep?"
"I haven't even taken care of my grandson for a few days, so why should I take care of my granddaughter?"
"If you have the ability to take it over, you can support yourself..."
Because of this, the old couple had several quarrels late at night and started to separate at their old age.
Old Mrs. Qu lacks energy and cannot even take care of her children.
Qu Yingying was raised to look dirty and sickly, and was not at all pleasing to the eye.
On the contrary, on Qu Manman's side, there was no Old Lady Qu to interfere.
My father-in-law sent enough food.
Qu Songsheng was not panicking for the time being, so he closed the door and devoted himself to serving Lin Wanxia.
I cooked delicious food for her every meal and delivered five meals a day to her bedside.
Washing clothes, cooking, coaxing the children to sleep and changing diapers, all she needs in the middle of the night is Qu Manman's hum.
Qu Songsheng woke up immediately...
He took care of all the children, so Lin Wanxia didn't have to worry at all.
Within half a month, the adults and children had rosy and healthy complexions.
Lin Wanxia had plenty of milk, and Qu Manman ate well and grew fast, becoming several sizes fatter than when he was just born.
The baby's jaundice also subsided and he became plump and white.
The chubby white baby was born with a pair of big black eyes. He loves to laugh and has two dimples on his cheeks when he laughs.
Wearing the tiger-head shoes and hat that my mother-in-law specially asked someone to send me, I looked so tiger-like that everyone loved me.
Anyone who has come to see Qu Manman will praise her for being so smart and clever.
Qu Manman was also very happy:
She is good-looking and has a name.
This little cannon fodder girl's fate should be broken and she should grow up smoothly, right?
At this moment, another troublesome matter was placed before Qu Songsheng and his wife.
"Will you hold a full-moon party for the baby?"
Don't do it?
My daughter, my first child, I always feel I am doing her an injustice if I don’t do it.
Let’s do it?
On the one hand, I don’t have much money and can’t afford it.
On the other hand, the couple had a falling out with their family because they refused to support Qu Yingying.
Old Mrs. Qu now treats her son and daughter-in-law as if they were enemies.
By then, the child’s grandmother won’t even have a good look on her face at the banquet table.
Wouldn’t that make friends and family laugh at you?
"Or, why not just not do it?"
Lin Wanxia said sympathetically, "There are many families in the village who don't hold a full-month banquet when a daughter is born."
“No one will say anything?”
"That won't do—"
Qu Songsheng was thinking: "If we don't hold a wedding for Manman now, she might think we favor boys over girls when she grows up."
"It's not nice not to have a party for her because she's a girl."
While the couple was talking, they thought Qu Manman was asleep.
In fact, she had woken up early and heard it.
I couldn't help but say in my heart: [Dad, Mom, I know you both love me very much.]
[It's just a full moon party, I won't mind.]
