After asking him a few questions, I learned that he had been suffering from gastrointestinal problems for many years and had been taking medication without interruption.
Based on the symptoms, she casually prescribed a mild remedy.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu drank a dose that night and was full of energy the next morning.
This change stunned even him.
Mr. Liu was still worried, so he went to the hospital to have a doctor look at the prescription.
The doctor said the prescription was exactly what he needed and was perfectly formulated.
From then on, Master Liu looked at Su Qingzhi differently, and he tried to get close to her in everything he did.
Su Qingzhi understood his thoughts and knew that he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, so she didn't stop him.
She would always save an extra portion for him when she cooked.
I cooked the food myself, so I enjoyed eating it and could even secretly add some spiritual spring water.
"Take a break if you're tired."
Su Zhiyu said in a low voice.
She nodded.
"I know my limits. I never act rashly, nor do I compromise myself. I will fight for what I should fight for, and I will defend what I should defend."
He hummed in agreement, his gaze falling on her slightly protruding belly, his brow furrowing unconsciously.
She was so heavily pregnant that she had trouble walking, and she still had to take care of two children.
Just looking at it made his heart ache.
Meanwhile, Li Yunduo felt increasingly frustrated and suffocated.
How could the people in the factory be so easily convinced by those few words?
What makes you think that Su Qingzhi and Su Zhiyu will treat Zhenzhen well just because of a few nice words?
She didn't believe it.
Are Su Qingzhi and the others really that overly compassionate?
Are you willing to go to great lengths for a child who is not related to you at all?
Stop lying to yourself.
Li Yunduo sneered.
They must have been after that small subsidy.
It's a hundred times better to keep it in your own hands than to give it to outsiders.
She had to let Zhenzhen know who truly cared for him and genuinely loved him.
As long as Zhenzhen is willing to say "Aunt Li, I want to go with you" in person, the monthly subsidy of ten yuan will still be hers.
With this in mind, she gradually began to have a plan.
She raised her hand to tidy her hair, stood up, and walked out.
In the hospital's small garden.
Zhenzhen was squatting on the ground, with Zhouzhou beside her. The two little heads were huddled together, playing with great concentration.
This child is indeed much cleaner than when he lived in the family compound.
Although the clothes were old, they clung neatly to his body.
Su Qingzhi is quite the actress.
But what good is a shiny exterior?
Isn't it just a show for the factory leaders?
Li Yunduo's eyes darted around, and she then approached a few women chatting nearby.
"Ugh, I need to go to the toilet, I'm really holding it in."
After saying that, she patted her stomach and pretended to be in pain.
After those people had walked away, she slowly turned around and walked towards the garden.
The two little ones squatted by the pit, each holding a short twig, digging away at the mud.
The soil was turned over, revealing the wet, black core beneath. They looked on intently, as if they were searching for treasure.
Li Yunduo glanced at it, her lips pursed, and she began to have doubts.
Kids just love to mess around. No matter how clean you wash their clothes, they'll get covered in mud again the next day, all your efforts are wasted.
She took a breath, suppressed her disdain, and forced a smile.
She squatted down in front of Zhenzhen and bent over.
"Zhenzhen, what are you doing? Digging for treasure?"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhenzhen immediately looked up.
Upon seeing that it was Li Yunduo, he moved extremely quickly, grabbing Zhouzhou beside him and firmly shielding her behind him.
His little body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on her without blinking.
"Aunt Li."
He called out softly.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunduo's anger flared up, and she could barely keep up her smile.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.
“Zhenzhen, Auntie has always liked you, right? Your brother Gou Dan doesn’t have a younger brother, he’s very lonely. What about Battalion Commander Su and the others? They have a daughter, and they’re pregnant with another one. Once the baby is born, how will they have time to take care of you? They’ll be busy with the baby all day, and you’ll be left out again, right?”
She paused, reaching out to touch Zhenzhen's head, but he slightly turned his head away.
"Why don't we talk to Section Chief Shen and ask him to live with your aunt? Your aunt will love you, treat you like her own son, cook you delicious food, play with you, and give you whatever you want, okay?"
Children understand people's thoughts best.
With a little guidance, he can understand that living with them is not as stable and happy as it seems on the surface.
This child has no parents, and what he craves most is to be loved, protected, and cared for.
Although Su Qingzhi's family was kind, they were also extremely busy all day long.
Although Zhenzhen is young, she is not stupid.
He could see clearly who was sincere to him and who was just acting out of pity; he knew it all too well.
Before Zhenzhen could even speak her mind, Zhouzhou puffed out her cheeks and stared straight at Li Yunduo.
Two little hands clung tightly to Zhenzhen's arm.
"Guoguo! Woda! Woda!"
Don't let her age of three fool you; even though she speaks unclearly, she's incredibly fierce when it comes to protecting people.
Her mother had repeatedly told her that Zhenzhen was her older brother, a member of the family, and no one could bully him.
Beneath Li Yunduo's smile lay a calculated scheme. Although Zhouzhou couldn't quite put her finger on it, she instinctively sensed something was amiss.
So she immediately raised all her little thorns and stood in front of Zhenzhen without hesitation.
Zhenzhen was stunned, completely frozen in place.
He looked down at the small figure that was hugging him tightly.
