Hearing this, Mo Yan was even less likely to agree. "You're already married, why are you coming to take Jia Rui away?"
"When did you remarry? Why didn't you have a child yourself instead of coming to take Jia Rui away? Was your husband willing to do that?"
No matter who you are, you would want a child of your own, so how could you possibly want your wife's child from before?
“My husband also has two children, a son and a daughter. We also have a son together. This time, he heard that I had a son, so he asked me to bring him over.”
My husband truly loves me. He says my child is his child, and he will love Jia Rui very, very much. Besides, Jia Rui now has a younger brother, and the two of them will be even better together.
Why would a family like that bring Jia Rui along?
She has her own child now, will she really love Jia Rui?
“That’s your husband’s home, not Jia Rui’s. Do you think he’ll feel comfortable there? Won’t he feel like he’s living under someone else’s roof? Maybe you think being rich is the best thing, but Jia Rui might not think so.”
Mo Yan felt that something was a little strange.
A woman who hadn't called in three years suddenly appeared, saying she missed her child and wanted to bring the child over. She had remarried, and her new husband also had his own child.
"Mom, I believe Jiarui also wants to live with me, so please grant my wish."
Don't worry, my husband will definitely love Jia Rui very, very much.
The more Ji Shu made this assurance, the more strange Mo Yan felt, as if she was deliberately hiding something.
Where does your husband live?
"It's right in the city."
Ha, they live in the city, only two or three hours away from them, and they haven't come back even once in three years. Now they say they miss their children. How ironic!
“Mom, children all want to grow up by their parents’ side. You know Mu Xiu’s situation. He’s not a good father at all. I’m worried that Jia Rui will be bullied if he grows up by his side.”
Come with me, and you'll have no worries about food and clothing, attend the best schools, and have a bright future.
My husband is very wealthy, you can rest assured.
Mo Yan couldn't stand it anymore. Every three sentences she spoke mentioned that her husband was very rich. "You know it's your husband who's rich, not you. You don't need to say anything more. Let's go pick up the kids first. You can ask Jia Rui yourself."
Mo Yan decided to investigate Ji Shu's husband; she was worried about him.
"Okay, Mom, let me touch up my makeup."
Ji Shu immediately took out a makeup mirror and began touching up her makeup.
“Jia Rui will be out of school soon, you won’t have time to touch up your makeup.”
Ji Shu immediately sensed something was off about those words. "Even if you don't have time, you should still touch up your makeup. No matter what, you should always have a presentable appearance so you can be in a good mood. Mom, you wouldn't understand this anyway."
Mo Yan stopped listening and headed towards the school on her own.
Actually, Jia Rui usually comes back by himself. The children in the alley go to and from school together every day.
When Jia Rui and the others came out, they saw Mo Yan from afar and walked directly towards her.
"grandmother."
"Grandma Mo, what brings you here? We can go home by ourselves."
They're all big kids now, they can go home by themselves.
"Then you can go home by yourselves. Didn't I plan to pick you up today? I told your parents that you're coming to my place for dinner today. Come on, come with me."
Today was supposed to be Jia Rui's birthday, and Mo Yan had prepared a cake and lots of delicious food to treat his friends to a meal.
They talked for about an hour, but Ji Shu didn't mention the matter at all, so he must have forgotten about it.
Mo Yan led them home, entering through the front door. She had the children sit down one by one while she took out the fried hamburgers she had made and also prepared fries for them.
The shop offers Bo Bo Chicken, Bingfen (a type of jelly dessert), duck heads, and a deep fryer.
Mo Yan prepared a large pot for them and let the children choose the vegetables themselves.
In the afternoon, several families' adults will come over for lunch, and they will set up a birthday venue for Jiarui.
The children knew their good friend's birthday, and without being shy, they quietly told Mo Yan.
"Grandma Mo, we'll pay the bill later. We're treating Jia Rui to dinner, otherwise we won't eat."
Mo Yan laughed uncontrollably upon hearing this, "Okay, you pay the bill, I'll give you a discount?"
"Yay, let's go get the groceries."
After they all went to get the groceries, Mo Yan turned to Jia Rui and said, "Jia Rui, after we eat, Grandma will take you to meet someone, okay?"
Jia Rui looked puzzled, then asked, "Is it that person? Why is she back? Where is she? What's she doing back?"
Mo Yan saw that the little guy had guessed it, and patted his head. "He's in the shop. Do you want to see him now?"
Mo Yan glanced over; the other person was still putting on makeup and hadn't even noticed that she had left.
How could someone like that possibly take good care of a child? She trusted him even less.
“I don’t want to see him.” Jia Rui shook his head; he didn’t want to see him.
During that first year, I felt resentment and hatred, and my grandmother told me to understand her.
She's a woman, taking care of a child and going to work. It's not easy, it's very difficult. She just went to work to earn money and build a future for him, just like other people's parents.
Yes, some of his friends also have parents who go out to work, but they call and video chat with each other every day.
He said he didn't miss his mother, but every night he hoped she would call. But she never did.
I'll look forward to the second year.
In the third year, I gave up.
Now she's back, how ironic.
He went outside, telling himself that he wasn't there to see that person, but just to get the food. As he walked out, he immediately recognized the woman in the cheongsam and makeup as her.
Even though Jia Rui told himself to forget this person, to stop thinking about her, and to realize it wasn't worth it, he still remembered her, remembered her face, and recognized her immediately among so many people.
Ji Shu didn't recognize him. She was putting on makeup and was still not satisfied with it. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a little boy. What was he looking at her like that? She frowned, turned around, sat down, and continued to put on makeup.
Oh, she didn't recognize him.
Jia Rui walked past her, took some food, and ate with her friends. They also had cake and ice jelly.
After eating, it was already 1:30. They planned to rest for 20 minutes before heading to school.
Mo Yan led them to the second floor, to Jia Rui's usual room, where the floor was covered with tatami mats, so they could lie down and relax.
The children were lying down, and Mo Yan told them to cover themselves with blankets.
Once everything was done, I went downstairs and went outside.
Mo Yan looked at Ji Shu, who was already looking at her phone, and asked, "What, you've finally finished your makeup?"
Ji Shu then looked up at Mo Yan, "Mom, where did you go? Shall we go now?"
There was a hint of complaint in that tone.
