"Mother, don't you want me anymore?" Su Ningjie hugged Xiao Lingyu's arm tightly with his backhand.
Doesn’t this child miss his own mother?
"You've calculated well. You'll have to help mother manage the family business in the future. How could mother bear to give you up?" Xiao Lingyu changed the subject. "But you have a mother. Your mother's family is also your family. Don't you want to get to know them?"
Su Ningjie lowered his eyes for a while before saying, "Of course I want to know the whereabouts of my mother, but since I can remember, there have only been my father and eldest brother. Later, my younger brother and sister came. We asked my father where our mother was. He said that our mother had gone to a very far place and would come back when she was tired, but our mother never came back. My brothers and I wanted the beautiful young aunt in the village to be our mother, but no one was willing to be our mother. Later, we stopped thinking about our mother. If she doesn't come back, then she doesn't come back. We have our father. Later, you came to be our mother, and we were so happy. We are the children of our mother."
Su Ningjie took a breath and continued, "Don't worry, mother. Even if my biological mother comes back in the future, we will still be your children. We are not familiar with her. She gave birth to us but didn't raise us. Well, I am not very happy."
It seems that Brother Jie still has some resentment towards his mother.
Alas, there is really no other way. As their adoptive mothers, we have to guide their young minds, otherwise they will grow up to be rebellious teenagers.
"Brother Jie, your mother didn't come back because she had no choice. What mother wouldn't raise her own child? Have you ever seen the young aunts in the village give birth to their own children and then not raise them?"
Su Ningjie shook his head, "Young aunts all have to take care of and raise their own children."
"That's right. There's no mother in the world who doesn't love her children. The four of you are so cute and sensible. Even though I'm not your biological mother, I love you so much. What's more, your biological mother loves you even more than I do."
Su Ningjie's frown relaxed. "Then why hasn't she come back? Big brother is already over seven years old, and I'm already over six."
It seems that he doesn't know that he was brought back by Su Xingyi.
"She must have her own reasons. Perhaps she won't be able to come back to see you. Once you find your mother's family, you'll know why she didn't come back."
Su Ningjie pouted, "But Dad won't tell us where my grandparents' home is?"
Seeing that the situation was almost heated, Xiao Lingyu asked, "Don't you think you get along well with your godfather and godmother's family? You haven't seen your godfather and godmother at home these past few days. Do you miss them?"
Su Ningjie's heart suddenly tightened. How could his mother know?
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. "My godfather and godmother came into my mind on their own to remind me of them. Maybe I'm too greedy. I have my mother's love, so I want my godfather and godmother to love me too."
Xiao Lingyu smiled, this might be a strong blood relationship.
"You liked your godfather when you first met him? And you asked your mother to sell the chili peppers to him?"
Su Ningjie nodded, "Maybe it's because I didn't think my godfather was a bad guy when I first met him, that's why I like him."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Then your godmother adopted you as her godson the first time she saw you, your aunt recognized you as her nephew the first time she saw you, and your great-grandfather gave you a valuable gift the first time he saw you. Did they really like you the first time they saw you?"
Su Ningjie thought about it and it seemed to be the case. "When I first met them, I felt they looked very familiar. Maybe it was because they were my godfather's family members."
"Another possibility is that the Lu family might be your mother's family."
Su Ningjie shook his head. "Mother, this is unlikely. If the Lu family is my and my eldest brother's biological mother's family, why did they only recognize me as their godson? And since my godfather and godmother have both gone to the village, they should have recognized my father when they saw him. It's obvious that they are not familiar with him."
Su Ning'an, who was driving the carriage outside, had a serious expression on his face. This day had finally come. His second brother was so smart. With just a little hint from his mother, he would know that he was not his father's biological son.
Instead of letting him have wild thoughts, it is better to tell him tactfully.
"Second brother, do you still remember the day you first met your great-grandfather? Your sweat soaked through your rouge and powder, revealing the red mole on your face. Do you still remember the expressions on your great-grandfather's and your godmother's faces at that time?"
Su Ningjie realized something instantly, an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed his little head until he raised it, then stopped. "Mother only said it's possible, it's not necessarily true. Don't let your imagination run wild. I will always be your mother."
"Yeah, I know, we are a family." After saying that, Su Ningjie threw himself into Xiao Lingyu's arms, tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out.
So sad.
It turned out that he was not his father's biological son. He, like his third brother and sister, was brought home by his father in a small quilt.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the little guy sobbing silently in his arms and gently stroked his back. He would know this sooner or later.
A few minutes later, Su Ningjie calmed down, looked up and saw a corner of material sticking out of the shoulder bag in front of him. He reached in and touched it, and it felt like a quilt.
quilt?
Su Ningjie jumped up from Xiao Lingyu's arms and put the shoulder bag on his back.
Seeing Su Ningjie's red eyes, Xiao Lingyu asked with concern, "Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while?"
"No, my eyes will get swollen if I sleep any longer. It's you, mother, who needs a nap."
"Okay, mother will take a nap for a while." Xiao Lingyu leaned against the carriage and dozed off.
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu closed her eyes, Su Ningjie waved his hand in front of her eyes to make sure she was asleep, and quickly took out the things in his shoulder bag.
Xiao Lingyu secretly opened one eye, pursed his lips, and closed his eyes again.
Could this be his little quilt?
Su Ningjie looked at the bloody swaddling clothes in his hand and recalled the small quilts used by his third brother and sister when they were young, but he had no memory of them.
This is probably his. Is my mother going to take the little quilt to meet the Lu family today?
Su Ningjie stuffed the small quilt back into the shoulder bag and quietly put the shoulder bag back in its place.
He stood up and sat opposite, with his arms folded across his chest, staring at the table with a frown, thinking about the important things in his life.
My mother said that she had her own difficulties. What kind of difficulties could they be?
My aunt has been ill for more than six years, and he is over six years old. It is very likely that he is a child of the Lu family.
Where did his father bring him home from six years ago?
How did my aunt go crazy?
Could the godmother be his biological mother?
But my godmother said that her child died six years ago.
Her godmother couldn't be her biological mother. If he was really a child of the Lu family, then whose child would he be in the Lu family?
Su Ningjie scratched his head, unable to figure it out. There was only one possibility: he was not a child of the Lu family.
Su Ningjie looked at Xiao Lingyu. Mother is the smartest, she should know.
Xiao Lingyu noticed Su Ningjie's gaze and opened his eyes to look over. "Brother Jie, why is your hair messed up?"
Su Ningjie straightened his hair and asked, "Mother, if I were a child of the Lu family, whose child would I be?"
