Chapter 27 We're still going to sleep together.
Wang Jianwei frowned; he wasn't blind yet.
"They're all Wang family children, why are you so biased towards those two boys?"
Grandma Wang wasn't intimidated by her son at all. She immediately put her hands on her hips and retorted, "So what if I favor my own grandson? So what if I'm biased!"
"Mom!" Wang Jianwei was really annoyed by his mother's relentless attitude. Every time he had to deal with household chores, he had a headache.
He was also irritable because some trivial matters caused unrest at home.
Grandma Wang spoke up again, "I've told you so many times to send this child away, but you just won't listen. Every aspect of life, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation, costs money. Your money doesn't grow on trees, how can you spend it on outsiders?"
In the past, the old lady would say these things to him alone, but this time she said them directly in front of the child.
Wang Jianwei's expression was rather unpleasant as he glanced at Zhiqi, who had his head down.
The fact that the old lady could say this in front of the child clearly indicates that this wasn't the first time the child had heard such words.
Wang Jianwei was annoyed by his own negligence, but he could only sigh about these matters concerning the household. Since Shen Mo had taken the initiative to adopt Zhiqi, it was not a bad opportunity. He said calmly, "In that case, Zhiqi, move to your Uncle Shen's house tomorrow."
Grandma Wang was surprised to hear her son say that the money-losing plantation was going to be moved away, and her face immediately lit up with joy.
She was naturally happy that there was one less burden on the family.
Hearing her son say his surname was Shen, she asked, "Shen? Is that the Shen who lives next door to Xiao Li's family?"
Wang Jianwei wasn't really interested in talking to her right now, so he turned around and walked out of the kitchen without saying a word.
"Tsk tsk tsk." The old lady clicked her tongue a few times. "That daughter-in-law of Xiao Shen's family is not easy to deal with. As for Xiao Shen, he listens to his wife very much. I'm afraid this child won't have a good time in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhiqi, who was still tending the fire, suddenly stood up, grabbed Old Mrs. Wang's hand, and bit it. The old lady screamed in pain and shoved Zhiqi away fiercely.
Zhiqi was pushed so hard that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
But he didn't cry. Instead, he stubbornly said, "Sister Jiang is a very nice person."
After her son left, the old woman's ugly face was revealed again. "She only helped you once, and you think she's so great? She's an ungrateful wretch. Wait until you go to her house, and then we'll see if she'll still treat you well."
The old lady spat, "Who would genuinely care for a child they have no relation to? I'll wait and see. Don't come crying and begging to come back. My family doesn't take in a money-losing brat."
Zhiqi's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, and his eyes were red.
Uncle Wang just said that when Uncle Shen wanted to adopt him, he was really happy. He was so happy that he forgot to light the fire, and then Grandma Wang scolded him.
Uncle Shen was good to him, and Sister Jiang was also very good to him. Grandma Wang's words were unpleasant, but she was right about one thing.
He didn't know if Sister Jiang would continue to treat him so well once he arrived at her house.
After his mother passed away, he lived at his uncle's house for a year.
When my mother was still alive, my uncle's family treated them very well, often helping them and bringing them food.
But after his mother passed away, his father didn't have time to come home to take him away, so he went to stay at his uncle's house. At first, everything was fine, but not long after, his uncle's attitude began to change.
He would secretly hide everything in the house for his younger siblings, never giving it to him, and rarely giving him meat.
Every time we ate meat, it was because my father sent money to my uncle's house every month, and only then would my uncle give me a little meat to eat.
Later, his father came to pick him up, and he was very happy. He spent a very happy time with his father in the army.
His father was good to him, and his uncles were also very good to him.
Later, his father sacrificed his life for the country. He read many books and learned what it meant to die and what it meant to sacrifice one's life for the country. His father made him very proud.
After his father sacrificed his life for the country, his future became uncertain again. After several changes of ownership, he was temporarily taken in by Uncle Wang's family.
At first, Uncle Wang's family treated him very well, and Uncle Wang took good care of him, asking him from time to time if he was living well and giving him meat to eat. Later, when Uncle Wang got busy, Aunt Wang started to be perfunctory. Grandma Wang didn't like him to begin with, and she always gave the best food to her own grandson.
He kept waiting, thinking that when he grew up, these days would no longer exist.
If... if Sister Jiang changed later... he... he might really cry...

Shen Mo is a man of action. The next day, when Jiang Ning woke up, she heard Shen Mo say that he would pick up Zhiqi after the training session.
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"
Jiang Ning was caught off guard when a baby was suddenly going to be born into the family.
"Should we postpone it by two days?"
Seeing her surprise, Shen Mo wondered if he had been too hasty.
Jiang Ning nodded, "We were a bit too hasty."
Shen Mo lowered his head, standing there like a tall bear.
Jiang Ning continued, "We haven't even cleared out a room for the child yet. Where will he stay when he gets home? Go and tidy up your room for Zhiqi, change his bedding, and make him a small wardrobe. Children need some privacy. Oh, and do you think we could get him a small desk in his room?"
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, seeing that Shen Mo was not moving, she went over and nudged his back, "Go and pack up quickly."
Shen Mo was pushed into the house by Jiang Ning, and then he obediently started tidying up.
Shen Mo's room only had one bed, so he came out carrying a quilt and a few sets of clothes.
He stood in the yard, holding his blanket. After coming out with the blanket, he suddenly felt a little lost.
Wait a minute, if he took his blanket out, where will he sleep?
Jiang Ning brought out a clean quilt and saw him still standing in the yard. She walked over and said, "What are you doing standing here? Put your things inside."
"Put it...where should I put it?"
“Inside the room.” Jiang Ning pointed to the room, then noticed the clothes on his quilt. “Put your clothes in the closet. I’ve made some space for you. Remember to take out the duvet cover and wash it.”
Shen Mo's body froze completely.
My wife just told him to go to...her, her room...
Jiang Ning went into the small room, made the bed, and came out to find Shen Mo standing stiffly in place, his hands holding the blanket, veins bulging.
Jiang Ning looked at him for a while, then suddenly felt like teasing him. She approached him step by step, then stretched out a slender, jade-like finger and poked his bare biceps.
Sure enough, just like everyone else.
Hard.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you too scared to go in?"
Shen Mo didn't speak.
Jiang Ning got hooked on poking him and poked him again, "When Zhiqi moves in, we'll be sleeping together, how can you do this?"
Sleep...sleep together?
