Seeing Liao Nanxing hesitate, Xu Xiuzhen added, "Mom has been through this before, and I can tell the difference in this little thing! Besides, doctors these days have no medical ethics at all."
"Whenever a child goes to the hospital, regardless of whether it's a minor illness or a serious injury, they're immediately admitted! Wasting money is a small matter; adults can't handle it! Besides, don't you have errands to run this afternoon? Going to the hospital now, with all sorts of blood tests and examinations, will take up the whole afternoon, causing delays!"
Upon hearing this, Liao Nanxing realized that it was indeed the case.
Seeing that Liao Nanxing had stopped insisting on going to the hospital, Xu Xiuzhen quickly took the child from her.
"Alright. I'll go find the medicine to feed him, then I'll film the video and send it to Su Mu."
Liao Nanxing remained silent, but Xu Xiuzhen interpreted this as tacit approval.
Xu Xiuzhen was secretly pleased that she had saved a large sum of money. Then she took the child to Su Mu's room.
When Su Mu was around, she never even lifted a finger, and didn't even know where the child's usual medicine was.
After searching through all the drawers, I still couldn't find the medicine, and I was exhausted.
She stood up, panting, and decisively carried the child back to her room.
She had a cold and fever not long ago, and happened to have some medicine left.
When she took out the medicine, she didn't think too much about it. If she was going to take two pills herself, she would give the child one pill. If she was going to take one pill herself, she would give the child half a pill.
After all, this is how she raised Liao Nanxing when she was little.
After giving her the medicine, she carried the child back to the living room.
"Alright, hurry up."
Liao Nanxing looked at the child's flushed face and felt a pang of pity.
"Let me send a message to Su Mu first." Then he picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Su Mu.
Xu Xiuzhen, who was standing to the side, gave a cold laugh and then sat on the sofa to wait.
If Su Mu wanted to come back, she wouldn't have left Xiao Bao for two whole days.
As expected, Liao Nanxing's expression grew increasingly grim.
Moreover, Liao Nanxing's phone didn't ring for a full half hour, indicating that Su Mu didn't reply to the message at all.
Liao Nanxing was now furious and embarrassed.
“Su Mu is betting with you! Betting that you care about Xiao Bao, that’s why she dares to treat you like this. Listen to your mother, take a video and send it to her, she’ll definitely reply to you immediately.”
Liao Nanxing steeled her resolve, put down her phone, and slapped the child across the face.
The child burst into tears, and a huge handprint was clearly visible on half of his face, with a noticeable bulge.
At that moment, he vented all his anger on the child.
Once she realized what was happening, Xu Xiuzhen excitedly picked up her phone and recorded the scene.
She believed that once Su Mu saw this video, he would definitely come running back eagerly.
After all, she's a mother herself, and she knows all too well how to handle a woman with children.
So, during the entire process of Liao Nanxing beating the child, Xu Xiuzhen not only did not feel guilty, but felt that liberation was just around the corner.
Because she felt sorry for Liao Nanxing's hard work taking care of the children late into the night, and she didn't want to suffer that hardship herself.
Therefore, only Su Mu's return can completely solve this problem.
Xu Xiuzhen held up her phone and circled it several times from every angle, showing close-ups of many children's faces with slap marks and crying.
Xu Xiuzhen only called a halt when she felt it was time.
She handed the ten-minute video to Liao Nanxing and said with satisfaction, "I guarantee that once Su Mu sees this, he will definitely come back immediately."
In the video, the child cries his heart out, his little hands waving helplessly outstretched, like a drowning person trying to grab a piece of driftwood to save his life.
But at just four months old, he could only helplessly endure slaps bigger than his face.
His hoarse voice was so irritating it made one's heart ache.
As the video played frame by frame, Liao Nanxing's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He was indeed too angry just now, which is why he didn't pay attention to the force.
I regret it so much now.
He sent the video to Su Mu, then held the child in his arms and gently comforted him, his eyes filled with tears of heartache.
"Sweetie, Daddy's sorry. Don't cry, little one, Daddy didn't mean to. Sweetie, don't cry..."
"Look at you, so useless! This little kid can't understand what you're saying at all. Don't worry, he won't have any of this memory when he grows up."
This is actually another reason why she is unwilling to take care of the child.
Because children under two years old are the most mentally and physically exhausting and demanding, yet they have no memory of this period.
Smart and intelligent children only need a few dollars' worth of lollipops or a few dollars' worth of rocking horse rides after they turn three.
With just a little money, your child will feel that you are good to them and will take the initiative to get close to you.
Just as Xu Xiuzhen was smugly indulging in her own little thoughts, she suddenly heard Liao Nanxing shout, "Mom? Come and see Xiaobao, something seems wrong with him!"
When Xu Xiuzhen came to her senses, she looked down and saw that the child's face was flushed and his mouth was wide open.
The crying was so soft, like a kitten's whimper, barely audible.
The little hands that were waving so energetically before are now drooping and motionless.
It's visibly less energetic than before.
"It's nothing, she must be tired from crying. She'll be fine after a rest," Xu Xiuzhen said.
Although Liao Nanxing was worried, he had hardly ever taken care of the child since birth and had no idea what a good or bad condition was.
The old lady was experienced; when Su Mu was too busy, it was the old lady who took care of things. She said it was nothing, so it must be nothing.
Just as Liao Nanxing was relieved, the child suddenly vomited a mouthful of sour and smelly milk, like a fountain.
Startled, Liao Nanxing quickly held the child upside down to prevent her clothes from getting damaged.
As a result, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of milk, the child started spitting out yellow fluid.
The yellow, viscous liquid also contained a few streaks of red.
"This...this...is he vomiting blood?" Liao Nanxing was terrified and turned to look at Xu Xiuzhen.
Xu Xiuzhen just frowned: "I... I don't think so."
Actually, she wasn't sure either.
"Mom, what did you feed the baby while I was away?" Liao Nanxing asked anxiously.
He remembered that Su Mu had told him before that when Su Mu was not at home, the old lady would secretly cook porridge or noodles to feed the child because she thought the milk powder was too expensive and not filling enough.
Su Mu didn't argue with the old lady about this.
The old lady always says that this is how they fed their children when they were young, and they still managed to raise them to be healthy!
So he wondered if, while he was taking a nap outside, the old lady was cooking something to feed the child.
"I...I didn't!" Xu Xiuzhen explained, "I was busy collecting and washing things, how could I have time to cook anything to feed him! I only made him some formula."
"What did Xiaobao vomit?"
