Chapter 29: Taking Care of Children

Jiang Chuan originally agreed to accompany Du Wanqiu to the city to buy things during his vacation, but because of the rumors last time, he finally broke his promise.

He didn't dare to verify whether Du Wanqiu had really caused trouble for Xiao Qingru, because if he verified it, he would be unable to do anything.

It seems that as long as I don't listen or watch, I can pretend that nothing has happened.

He never knew he could be so cowardly. If Du Wanqiu was not as weak as he imagined, then what did he do before?

What Jiang Chuan dares not look directly at may be his past self.

Although he did not accompany Du Wanqiu to the city, he did not do nothing. He took out the things he had prepared in advance from his coat pocket.

"Take this money and tickets and buy yourself something you want."

Originally, because Jiang Chuan said he would accompany her to the city, Du Wanqiu was secretly happy for a long time.

But when the time came, he regretted it!

Du Wanqiu asked persistently, "We are getting married tomorrow, how about we go to the city to take some photos today?"

“You don’t have to take photos to get married.”

Jiang Chuan thought that this was something that only a couple with a perfect relationship could possess.

They just got together out of helplessness, there's no need to go through with all that formality.

Du Wanqiu quickly added, "I mean to take the baby to take a family photo. In the future, you will be his father. When the child grows up, you can show him the photo and tell him the story of this time."

Jiang Chuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to say that he was not the child's father, and he would tell him the truth when the child grew up.

He never thought of claiming the child as his own.

The only thing I want to do is to raise this child for my brother and train him to become an adult.

But looking at Du Wanqiu's sparkling eyes, he couldn't say these words anymore.

Don't try to dampen her mood at this time, just take her word for it.

There is no love between them. If they were more serious, they would not be able to live together.

"Family photos can be taken anytime. If the child is still this young, don't take him on a long trip. His body won't be able to handle the hassle of traveling back and forth for a few days."

Du Wanqiu knew that this was his excuse to refuse. If Jiang Chuan accompanied her to the city, she would not have to ride a bicycle in pain, but could ride in a jeep in style. Where would the trouble be?

They were going to get married in a day, and Du Wanqiu didn't want to make trouble at this time.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child today."

She didn't force it, which made Jiang Chuan breathe a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I will take good care of the child."

Du Wanqiu smiled and teased him, "There will be many opportunities to trouble you in the future, just treat it as a practice today."

Jiang Chuan nodded repeatedly, "You should go out quickly. The earlier you leave, the earlier you can come back."

Although she was not satisfied with Jiang Chuan's decision, she did not have much time left.

All the guests invited to tomorrow's wedding were from her family compound, so she had to appear in front of them in a dignified manner and not let them make fun of her.

So she will go buy a new set of clothes today, and try to make everyone envy her tomorrow!

Du Wanqiu rode away on her bicycle, and Jiang Chuan sat on a stool looking out the window.

Seeing Xiao Qingru approaching from a distance, he couldn't help but stand up. He wanted to open the window and say hello to her, but he was afraid that she would find out that he was at Du Wanqiu's house.

Even though he and Du Wanqiu had done nothing, he felt very guilty at the moment.

When Xiao Qingru raised her head, her body moved to the side faster than she realized.

Xiao Qingru thought it was Du Wanqiu looking at her again and frowned slightly, but this was the only way for her to go to work. She couldn't just not go to work just for a person who liked to peek at other people, right?

It was early in the morning and my good mood was ruined.

After hearing that Jiang Chuan had applied for a house, the company allocated the house where Du Wanqiu was currently living to them for convenience. This meant that she might meet Jiang Chuan again at work in the future.

At this moment, Xiao Qingru's disgust for these two people reached its peak.

Quicken your pace and leave.

Jiang Chuan returned to the window again. Although he had not seen Xiao Qingru during this period, things about her had reached his ears bit by bit.

I heard that she seemed to be dating Xu Muzhou, and they were getting along very happily.

I also heard that the Xiao family was very satisfied with Xu Muzhou and invited him to their home for dinner a few days ago.

The more I think about it, the more jealous I become.

Even though he knew he had no right to intervene in Xiao Qingru's affairs, he secretly hoped that Xiao Qingru would not date anyone else.

At least don't accept other men's pursuit so quickly.

Jiang Chuan understood Xiao Qingru's reasoning. Once she accepted someone else, it would prove that there was no place for him in her heart anymore.

Just thinking about this makes me feel so uncomfortable.

“Wow wow wow~”

The crying of the child awakened Jiang Chuan, and he quickly came over to comfort the child.

Because of the lack of experience, I was in a hurry and not only failed to comfort the child, but also made him cry even harder.

There was no other way, Jiang Chuan could only go to Mrs. Wang next door for help.

"He has defecated. Just clean him up and give him something to eat."

Jiang Chuan looked confused, "Comrade Du is not here, what should I feed him?"

"Go get some milk from someone else, or feed him some rice soup, and let him drink his fill when late autumn comes."

Can such a child drink rice soup?

Jiang Chuan touched the back of his head and asked, "Which family around here has a baby?"

Mrs. Wang signaled with her eyes, "The family downstairs just had a baby, but life is hard these days, and breast milk is very precious. I don't know if they are willing to give it to me."

Jiang Chuan couldn't bear to watch the child cry, "I'll go and try."

After Wang's wife helped to clean up the child, she carried the child downstairs.

The family downstairs had a normal expression when they saw Jiang Chuan, but they immediately became angry when they heard that Du Wanqiu's child was going to take their child's food.

"Comrade Du loves her son very much. Each child has a different physique. What if he gets diarrhea after drinking our milk?"

Jiang Chuan said uncertainly: "It should be okay if you only drink it once."

"The child is too young, we can't be careless. Diarrhea is a serious matter. Comrade Du will put the blame on us, and we can't bear the responsibility."

No matter what Jiangchuan said, that family just disagreed.

Seeing the child crying pitifully, she could only take him back to Jiang's house and let her mother help take care of him.

"We've already agreed that we don't care about this child. Are you bringing him back here to deliberately piss us off?"

"Mom, I know you have opinions about Wanqiu, but the child is innocent, and this is my friend's only blood. Please help me."

Jiang's mother cursed, "Senior, did you dig up Du Wanqiu's ancestral tomb? This generation will be controlled by her!"

"Mom, I know you are the softest person. If I can help it, I won't bring you back to disturb you."

"Your father and I owe you! So this generation is here to repay the debt!"

Jiang's mother was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Her son had begged her so much, if she still didn't help, wouldn't she be a laughing stock?

And he was right when he said that the child was innocent.

Reluctantly, I took the child and gave him some milk powder.

"Qingru brought this back to me from the city. I was reluctant to drink it, but now it's been given to this kid."

Jiang Chuan lowered his head. He had always known that Qing Ru was a good girl. She was very respectful to his parents and would send them gifts during festivals.

Because he has such a future daughter-in-law, his parents often praise him for his good taste.

However, he still lost Qingru.

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Jiang's mother couldn't say anything more and could only sigh at the fate.

All of this was revealed by comparison. Even though Du Wanqiu had never been married and had no children, Jiang's mother still looked down on her.

Putting aside the family, apart from being cunning, what else can compare to Qingru?

Mother Jiang felt very aggrieved whenever she thought that Du Wanqiu would have to call her "Mom" tomorrow.

She must have done something wrong to her parents that she ended up with such a daughter-in-law!
