Liao Nanxing didn't think much of it and put the child on the bed.
The moment the diaper is removed, a pungent, sour smell hits you.
"Ugh~"
Liao Nanxing gagged, almost vomiting up the dinner he had eaten yesterday.
He forced down the churning in his stomach and then discovered that the diaper contained egg-drop-shaped poop.
The child not only had diarrhea, but it looked like he had been having it for a long time. His entire bottom, including his genitals, was red and swollen from being rubbed so much.
How disgusting!
He endured the sour smell and cleaned it up.
However, when washing the child's bottom, the child cried loudly as soon as the cloth touched the child's bottom.
Frustrated by the noise, Liao Nanxing forcibly cleaned the child while yelling at him.
He felt he had washed the child enough, so he put the child on the bed.
While the child is getting up, take the water in the basin to the toilet and pour it out.
However, when he returned to the bedside and was about to put a diaper on the child, he was so frightened by what he saw that his face turned pale.
He...had diarrhea again!
He had diarrhea again!
And it was on his bed! On his blanket!
Finally, this pile of excrement became the last straw that broke Liao Nanxing's back.
"Ah!" Liao Nanxing shouted, rushed over, grabbed the child's foot, and threw him aside.
The child was so frightened that he cried loudly, and then more yellow liquid spurted out from his bottom.
So what Liao Nanxing saw was half a bed of excrement. What he smelled was a sour stench even more nauseating than foot odor.
"Why! Why! Why!" Liao Nanxing roared like a madman, grabbing at his hair with both hands.
Add to that his dark circles under his eyes, resembling bruises, his stubble-covered face, and his bloodless skin.
He looked like a crazy homeless man.
He turned around and frantically swept everything on the table—milk powder, bottles, water warmer, and so on—all over the floor.
Then he grabbed his coat, slammed the door, and left.
He didn't care about the crying behind him.
Bang!
The whole room seemed to tremble.
When Xu Xiuzhen heard the commotion, she rushed out of the bedroom and saw only a naked, crying child and Liao Nanxing's hand slamming the door.
"What... what happened now?" Xu Xiuzhen muttered to herself as she ran to hug the child.
However, once inside the house, she completely broke down.
The sour and foul smell of feces, the bed covered in yellow liquid, and the child whose lower body was covered in feces...
Xu Xiuzhen stood frozen at the door, looking completely bewildered.
Faced with this situation, not only Liao Nanxing, who had never raised children before, but even Xu Xiuzhen, who had been through it, was at a loss.
So... he stormed off, and this mess fell right onto her shoulders again?
In the end, it took Xu Xiuzhen most of the day to clean up the mess.
She is grateful for the convenience brought by technological advancements.
If this were in their time, who knows how long they would have to soak barefoot in the river in such cold weather with this kind of bedding.
In the past, she would feel annoyed whenever she heard the rumbling sound of the washing machine.
It's not just because it's noisy, but also because washing machines use a lot of electricity and water.
But today, for the first time, she found the sound of the washing machine turning to be so beautiful.
Xu Xiuzhen, who was able to catch her breath, had just sat down next to the child when she smelled the familiar stench again.
She looked at the little one who was chewing on his hands with a horrified expression, her gaze slowly drifting down to the child's bottom.
Sure enough, a faint yellow tinge was visible at the edge of the diaper.
Xu Xiuzhen rubbed her aching lower back, on the verge of tears.
All I could do was keep reminding myself: "This is my eldest grandson! My eldest grandson!"
She was afraid she would forget he was her own child and just throw him out the door.
Then, before they could even settle in, another round of work began.
Wash, change, change, wash...
After only two or three hours, Xu Xiuzhen was exhausted, her face flushed and her breath ragged.
Feeling that her heart was overloaded, she quickly ran to her bedroom and took a pill.
I lay down on the bed, and before I could even catch my breath, my child started crying.
She forced herself to sit up and, supporting herself against the wall, made her way to the living room.
She glanced at the child and then ran to get the formula to make milk.
"Alright! Stop crying! Grandma will get you some milk right away!" In less than half a day, Xu Xiuzhen's voice had lost its usual loudness.
I took the bottle back to the living room, picked up the baby, and put the nipple in the baby's mouth. The little one immediately stopped crying.
Xu Xiuzhen then took a deep breath, relieving the frustration in her chest.
She had no idea what bad luck she had. She was already at the age where she needed to be taken care of, yet she still had to take care of others.
After thinking it over, she realized it was all Su Mu's fault!
It's been said online: You raise what you give birth to.
She's already raised her own child, why should she have to raise someone else's child too?
Only those who have raised children know how hard it is.
Very few women are willing to have a second child; they rely entirely on themselves and no one offers them help.
This was also the reason why she herself did not want to have any more children back then.
Even now, she still can't forget the days when she couldn't sleep all night and her hair was falling out in clumps.
She glanced at the clock on the wall in the living room...
This can't go on any longer!
Xu Xiuzhen picked up her phone and dialed Liao Nanxing's number directly.
She needed to persuade Nanxing to bring Su Mu back.
Otherwise, the responsibility of taking care of the child will inevitably fall on her shoulders sooner or later.
However, when the call connected, all that came through was a low growl: "Mom! Can't you let me sleep a little longer?! Do you know I haven't had a full night's sleep for two nights in a row!"
Hearing the complaints full of resentment, Xu Xiuzhen was also unhappy.
"What are you saying? You're tired now? Then why don't you hurry up and call that bitch Su Mu back? Is this how a mother should act?"
"Mom! Wasn't this the child you wanted? You'll have to work hard for me. I'm going to sleep a little longer, I have important things to do this afternoon! I'm hanging up now." After saying that, Liao Nanxing was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait!" Xu Xiuzhen was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.
Is this guy planning to just dump the child on her? He might as well just kill her!
What she wants is to be surrounded by her children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family life.
It's not about repeating the hardships we've endured before!
"My heart is hurting terribly. You either have to call Su Mu back to take care of the child, or you can come back and take care of the child yourself!"
"Don't you have medicine? Just take one when your heart hurts. Besides, Su Mu hasn't been back for two days. Do you think I can get her back?"
Xu Xiuzhen was so angry that her eyes bulged.
"Then you have to figure something out! You can't just leave the child with a half-dead old woman like me, can you?"
"I can't help it. Do you?" Liao Nanxing said irritably, "Su Mu isn't Zhou Chunhua. If she really couldn't bear to leave her child, she wouldn't have abandoned the child and run off with someone the day before yesterday. Help me take care of the child for a couple of days, and as soon as I get the money, I'll hire a nanny..."
"Who says there's no way?" Xu Xiuzhen interrupted, "You come back, take a video, and send it to her. I guarantee she'll come running back right away!"
