"Why come back so early? I want to live a couple more years," Xu said meaningfully, but Zhao's sobs continued.
“Mother, if your son went out to earn money, where would all these troubles come from? We wouldn’t be able to make a living like this.”
She rushed forward, crying, wanting to see what good things were inside the car.
But when the carriage curtain was lifted...
Only two swaddled infants couldn't help but scoff.
"Mom, it's the New Year, why don't you say you'll buy something for the family?"
Xu ignored her and instead focused her gaze on Ling Qi, who was not far away.
Seeing Ling Qi there, she inwardly complained, but still smiled and said:
"You're finally back."
This man abandoned his child with his daughter-in-law for no reason and left for a year. It's understandable that she would feel resentful.
"Grandma Xu, I'm sorry." Ling Qi said apologetically, her eyes fixed on the carriage.
Because the noise subsided, he was able to hear it clearly then.
Inside the carriage, the baby's babbling sounds could be heard.
To be honest, he was terrified of hearing the news that his son had passed away.
Ms. Xu got out of the car and took the two children in her arms, one on each side.
The two children look different, but are about the same size.
They were all wrapped up tightly, with only their little faces showing.
Ling Qi looked left and right.
Which one is actually your son?
He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to Madam Xu.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly waved her hand.
"If you want to thank someone, thank Yumei." If it weren't for Yumei's sake, she would never have taken care of this child.
Of course, she only had limited time to manage it; most of the time, it was her husband Yumei who took care of it.
However, while Yu-mei was managing the business, she was always there to help take care of the children.
"Now that you're back, this child..." After all, she had spent a year with the child day and night, and looking at the adorable child, Madam Xu had truly developed some affection for him.
"You can take it back."
Ling Qi stretched out his arm and first handed the large and small bags in his hands to Boss Zhao.
"Grandma Xu, this is a small token of my appreciation."
He carefully took the children that Madam Xu handed him, and only then did he realize which one was his.
He thought that when he saw his aunt, he would definitely thank her properly.
The child was very well-behaved, blinking his little eyes at Ling Qi without crying or fussing, only babbling in a language that adults couldn't understand.
"Hey, no need to buy anything." Madam Xu looked at the bags and packages that had been in Ling Qi's hands and were now in her eldest son's.
He couldn't help but think to himself that it would probably end up in the hands of his eldest daughter-in-law again.
She added:
"I left your two maids with my third son in Baiyang." Because her home was small, she didn't bring them; she only brought her two children with her when she returned.
Originally, she only intended to take care of her own granddaughter, but then she thought that it had been a year and Ling Qi should be back by now, so she brought her back as well.
Ling Qi originally didn't intend to keep those two maids either.
In return, let them serve your aunt and her daughter.
On the way back, Ling Qi quietly looked at her child.
"My child, you are so lucky." He never expected that his aunt and Grandma Xu would raise his child to be so healthy and chubby, a stark contrast to his initial thin and small appearance.
His son, while becoming round and plump, was no longer ugly.
Upon closer inspection, he bears a striking resemblance to his mother.
The child's open mouth, his tongue sticking out, and his four newly grown baby teeth completely melted Ling Qi's heart.
"Fengqi, no, Bailu, what is your heart made of? Don't you want to see your son?"
