Chapter 311 Shu Yu comforts the baby
Da Niu was rushing to catch the train, so after getting on, he handed the baby in his arms to Lu Dasong, who was now holding the baby stiffly in his arms.
Lu Dasong was clearly not used to holding children, especially an eleven-month-old baby, and was afraid of accidentally hurting him.
Quan Quan was already terrified and cried her heart out. She calmed down a little in Da Niu's arms, but now she's started crying again.
Xiao Zhen was very anxious and couldn't help but shed tears as well, comforting her younger brother while crying.
Shu Yu stretched out her hand, "Give me the child first."
Lu Dasong hurriedly handed it over, then let out a big sigh of relief.
Shu Yu checked the child first. The child had urinated and looked very hungry.
Moreover, such a young child is easily frightened and something bad could happen. He's been crying for so long, his voice is hoarse.
Shu Yu thought for a moment and said to Da Niu, who was driving the cart outside, "Brother Da Niu, this place is close to Shangshi Village. Let's go back first and ask Auntie to help cook some rice soup or porridge for the child to eat before we go to the county town."
"Okay." Although Da Niu was also worried about Fourth Aunt, he was sure that Quan Quan's condition was more serious now.
The mule cart headed toward the fork in the road; Shu Yu was quite good at coaxing the child.
She removed Quan Quan's diaper, and luckily there were clean cloths in the mule cart, so she wiped him down first.
Quan Quan seemed to feel a little better, and her crying subsided.
Shu Yu gently rocked the child, patting his back with one hand, and then hummed a soft tune. The child gradually stopped crying, pouted, and looked up at Shu Yu with his wet eyes.
Shu Yu smiled at him, and Quan Quan grinned back.
The child's emotions finally calmed down, and Lu Dasong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
With so many misfortunes befalling his fourth sister's family, he was terrified that something else might happen to the child. His fourth sister couldn't bear such a blow.
"Sister Ayu, you sing so beautifully." Xiao Zhen looked up at Shu Yu, finally feeling less anxious. She finally realized that Sister Ayu was the sister her mother had mentioned before, the missing sister from her second uncle's family.
She was supposed to see her last time, but something happened at home, so her mother didn't take her to see Sister Ayu.
I've finally met him.
Xiao Zhen, holding her younger brother's hand, was also feeling drowsy as she listened to Shu Yu's little tune.
Shu Yu reached out and touched her forehead, asking softly, "How did you get this scar on your forehead?"
She didn't believe the officers had injured the child while arresting him. Since Wang Hong was the one who led the operation, and he had specifically waited for her in the village, he would never allow his men to treat the child so violently.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhen lowered her head and whispered, "It was my grandma who threw it. My mother was arrested, and my grandma beat her, saying that my mother was a jinx who brought disaster to the Yuan family. I wanted to protect my mother, and my grandma accidentally hit me."
My grandmother was terrifying back then; she held a stone as if she wanted to fight me to the death.
She instinctively tried to block it, and the stone hit her on the head.
Fortunately, the officers pulled her back in time, so the grandmother could only throw stones; if they had hit her directly, she might have died.
Shu Yu frowned, but didn't say much. She just gently touched her. Xiao Zhen pursed her lips and didn't cry out in pain, but she couldn't suppress her gasps.
Shu Yu said in a low voice, "When we get to the county town, you and Quan Quan should go see a doctor first."
Xiao Zhen tugged at her sleeve with her right hand and hummed in response.
