"Sister Erni, why did you drive my father away?"
Erni turned around and looked at Xiaocao in surprise. Xiaocao pushed Erni away angrily and ran to Zhao Ergou: "Dad, don't be afraid, Xiaocao will protect you. Sister Erni, you can't talk to my dad like that. Mr. Gu said that we should be very polite to our good friends' parents."
"Little Grass, listen to me, my mother said you can't just go with other people like that!"
Little Grass shook her head and said, "This is none other than my father."
Zhao Ergou smiled and lowered his head, looking at Xiaocao and said, "Xiaocao, your sister Erni is doing this for your own good. You can't argue with her, okay? Dad will come to see you again next time, okay?"
The little grass asked reluctantly, "Daddy, when will you take me back to your home?"
Zhao Ergou paused for a moment, then said, "Soon, Xiaocao, wait for your father. Once your father and mother have finished talking, we'll bring you along, and the three of us will be reunited and never be separated again."
Xiao Cao nodded, watching Zhao Ergou leave with reluctance. Then she turned back and glared at Zhao Erni, saying, "Sister Erni, is it because my father came back and your father didn't that you want to drive my father away? I hate you for doing this!"
Erni was confused and felt wronged, thinking that Xiaocao was being ungrateful. But when she saw the little girl running, her braids swinging, she found it kind of cute.
Erni touched her head and realized she really did have some masochistic tendencies. She followed Xiaocao home and told her family what had happened that day.
Little Grass looked at Xiuer with hopeful eyes and said, "Mom, when will Dad come to pick us up? I want to be with Dad and Mom!"
Xiuer looked troubled. After packing her things, Li Rouniang left with the children, leaving the space to Xiuer and Xiaocao. She felt that it was better for Xiuer to explain some things to Xiaocao.
Xiuer patiently squatted down, looked at Xiaocao, and said, "Xiaocao, we can't live with him. Wouldn't it be better if Mommy lived with you and Aunt Li?"
Xiaocao was very disappointed by Xiuer's answer, and angrily pushed Xiuer away and ran outside: "Oh no, I'm going to find my father."
As she spoke, Xiaocao ran out onto the street again. Zhao Ergou happened to be strolling around nearby, looking for an excuse to see Xiuer and have a good talk with her. That's when he saw Xiaocao running out. He stopped her and said, "Xiaocao, why did you run out by yourself? It's too dangerous, don't you know?"
Little Grass looked at Zhao Ergou with teary eyes and rushed into his arms, saying, "Father, Mother said she doesn't want to live with us anymore."
At this moment, Xiuer also saw Zhao Ergou. Seeing Zhao Ergou holding Xiaocao, she rushed over anxiously, pulled Xiaocao behind her, and said coldly to Zhao Ergou, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
Zhao Ergou looked at Xiuer with a wronged expression and said, "Xiuer, I was wrong. I was a bastard before. You can hit me and scold me, please forgive me. Look at Xiaocao, she's so pitiful. Let's live together as a family of three, okay?"
Little Grass hugged Xiu'er's leg and cried, "Mommy, I want Daddy and Mommy to be together. Can we live together?"
Xiuer hesitated. She hated Zhao Ergou and didn't want to live with him. But Xiaocao, her daughter, whom she had protected with her life, was crying and clinging to her leg, her eyes brimming with tears. She couldn't bear it, so she hesitated.
Seeing that Xiu'er's attitude had softened, Zhao Ergou immediately grabbed her hand happily and said, "Xiu, I swear I will protect you and your daughter with my life for the rest of my life. Let's live together happily! After going through so much, I realize how important you two are to my life. Please give me another chance, okay?"
What are you doing?
At this moment, Li Si saw it and quickly came over to identify it carefully. Wasn't this the person from last time?
Li Si slapped Zhao Ergou's hand away, not knowing why he was so angry. Xiu'er saw that Li Si was flustered, as if he had been caught cheating.
"You're not allowed to hit my dad!" Little Grass ran over and pushed Li Si away.
Li Si was taken aback: "Little Grass, what did you say? This is your father?"
Xiao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, he is my father. He's back now. Uncle Li, Dad said he's going to live with us."
Looking at Li Si in front of him, Zhao Ergou's male instincts told him that something was off between Li Si and his wife. So he quickly smiled, picked up Xiaocao, and then put his arm around Xiuer, saying, "Thank you, Brother Li, for taking care of my wife and daughter during this time. I've come back from the brink of death and decided to live a good life with them. Come over for dinner sometime!"
Li Si felt extremely dejected. Xiu'er didn't struggle to break free because she was very flustered. Li Si could only nod; after all, Xiu'er hadn't pushed him away, which said everything. Then he left.
Xiuer then realized that Li Si had misunderstood. She wanted to explain, but there was no way to explain. Oh well, this is better.
Zhao Ergou was overjoyed to see that Xiu'er wasn't struggling. He felt he had finally managed to persuade Xiu'er and that there was still a chance.
"Xiu, I've been staying in Zhao Family Village for a while now. The clan chief has already arranged a house for me. I'll come and pick you and Xiaocao up once I've settled in, okay?"
Oh, and I might also develop a piece of land. I'll work hard to support you and your daughter, and I won't let you suffer anymore!
