Chapter 30 The child finds his own mother
The little girl's big black eyes kept looking at Jiang Haitang, and Jiang Haitang's heart softened at that moment.
She reached out to take the child, but Zhao Kai took a step back.
"Give it to her." Lu Liangchen said.
Zhao Kai looked at Jiang Haitang with confusion.
"This is..."
"This is Jiang Haitang, an employee of our textile factory. I asked her to come over and help pick up the child."
Xiao Wu interrupted and said, "Director Lu is worried that the icy face will scare the soft little girl."
Lu Liangchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."
This reason sounds reasonable, but Zhao Kai still feels that this is definitely not the case.
The person who can be trusted by the team leader is a woman, which is definitely extraordinary.
Zhao Kai handed the child to Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang carefully took the little girl, and a sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of her heart.
She gave the little girl a gentle smile.
"Mom!" the little girl suddenly spoke.
The luggage in Zhao Kai's hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Wu also opened his mouth wide. What was going on?
Director Lu didn’t find a wife, but his child found a mother for him?
He immediately looked at Lu Liangchen, but saw that Lu Liangchen had a blank expression on his face and didn't seem to mind.
"Taozi, can you speak?"
Zhao Kai's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously very surprised.
He hadn't heard the little girl speak for so many days, and he always thought she couldn't speak.
Jiang Haitang only heard the name Taozi.
The little girl's name is Taozi?
That night, the little girl she saw under the big tree outside the guesthouse was also called Taozi.
"Mom, I'm Little Peach."
The little girl has a soft voice and is very cute.
"Xiao Taozi, I'm not your mother. You should call me aunt." Jiang Haitang explained patiently.
"Mother!"
The little girl was very stubborn. She pouted her lips, called out "Mom", and hugged Jiang Haitang's neck tightly.
Lu Liangchen felt a little jealous when he saw Jiang Haitang hugging the little girl affectionately.
Jiang Haitang always wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, so why did she like this little girl who suddenly appeared so much?
The little girl also likes Jiang Haitang, is this fate?
When getting in the car, Lu Liangchen asked Zhao Kai to sit in the front, and he and Jiang Haitang sat in the back holding Xiao Taozi.
Xiao Wu saw from the rearview mirror that Lu Liangchen was sitting quietly beside them watching Jiang Haitang and Xiao Taozi. It really felt like a family of three.
He couldn't help but feel regretful. It was a pity that Jiang Haitang was divorced, otherwise the two of them would be a good match.
Zhao Kai didn't pay much attention to it. He talked about what he saw this time.
"Captain, it's a good thing I went. If I hadn't gone, I don't know if this girl would be alive."
Just a simple sentence, but Zhao Kai, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Lu Liangchen withdrew his gaze from Jiang Haitang and asked seriously.
"I investigated for several days before I found out that Xiao Taozi's mother didn't remarry, but was sold by her second uncle Tian Liangcai."
"That bastard Tian Liangcai took Tian Liangcheng's martyr subsidy and not only sold his sister-in-law, he even wanted to sell Xiao Taozi as well."
"Little Taozi was too young and no one wanted her, so Tian Liangcai refused to feed her and even wanted to abandon her."
"Her grandparents don't care?"
There was a layer of frost on Lu Liangchen's face, his voice was very cold, and the veins on his hands were bulging because they were clenched tightly.
How could this be possible? Xiao Taozi is the child of a martyr!
"The two old people are too old to take care of him. They secretly saved their food to subsidize Xiao Taozi, but if Tian Liangcai found out, they would be scolded. The old people had no choice but to ask someone to write you a letter for help."
"Didn't you contact the local armed forces?"
"I went there, and the armed forces said that this was an internal family issue and they couldn't intervene even if they wanted to." Zhao Kai's eyes were red when he said this.
Xiao Taozi's father Tian Liangcheng is his comrade-in-arms, and the two have fought back to back.
He felt sad to see his comrade's only child being abused in such a way.
Soldiers shed blood, sweat, and even sacrifice their lives for the country and the people without regrets.
But their wives and children are abused and lack basic protection...
Jiang Haitang listened to what Zhao Kai said and hugged Xiao Taozi even tighter.
This child is so pitiful.
"What are Peach's mother's plans?"
"Although she was sold, the man was not bad. She is pregnant and living well. I asked her privately, and she said she just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to go back to the past."
"She said she was incompetent as a mother and couldn't take care of her daughter, so she asked me to take care of Xiao Taozi..."
Zhao Kai couldn't continue. When he saw Xiao Taozi, the little girl was already dying. She was sent to the hospital and was saved after three days.
"Xiao Taozi will be my daughter from now on, and she won't suffer anymore." Lu Liangchen touched Xiao Taozi's head.
"But, you..."
Zhao Kai wanted to say, you don’t even have a wife, how are you going to take care of her?
But the moment he saw Jiang Haitang, he swallowed the rest of his words.
Maybe the leader has a wife, but he just didn't tell him.
"Zhao Kai, ask the troops to contact the local armed forces. Tian Liangcai must be dealt with, but forget about the others. Martyr's allowances will be distributed according to regulations. No one else can take what belongs to Xiao Tao."
"Before I left, I informed the local armed forces of this matter. The leaders of the armed forces promised to deal with it seriously. I will contact the troops again and ask them to supervise the matter."
Jiang Haitang took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled it and fed it to Xiao Taozi.
Little Taozi sat obediently in Jiang Haitang's arms and ate candy.
When the car passed the supply and marketing building, Lu Liangchen suddenly said, "Xiao Wu, stop the car."
Although Xiao Wu was confused, he still parked the car nearby as he was told.
Lu Liangchen got out of the car and strode into the supply and marketing building.
"Comrade Jiang Haitang, you and our regiment commander..."
"We have nothing to do with each other. Director Lu helped me and I helped him."
Jiang Haitang hurriedly waved her hands to show that she and Lu Liangchen were absolutely innocent, fearing that others would misunderstand their relationship.
Zhao Kai was quite disappointed when he heard this.
I thought the captain had finally come to his senses and realized that he could get something for free, but it turned out to be all in vain.
Jiang Haitang continued to play with Xiao Taozi, and the only sound in the car was her gentle voice coaxing the child.
When Lu Liangchen came back, the net bag he was carrying contained a can of malted milk, a can of milk powder, and some biscuits and cakes.
Obviously, they were all bought for Xiao Taozi.
"Xiao Taozi, I'm your father. Can I give you some cake?" Lu Liangchen spoke to Xiao Taozi patiently.
But Xiao Taozi obviously didn't feel very close to him. Even though she was drooling at the cake in his hand, she was unwilling to get close to him.
Jiang Haitang said patiently, "Xiao Taozi, you will live with Daddy from now on. Daddy likes you very much. Can you take the cake from Daddy?"
Little Taozi glanced at Jiang Haitang and saw the encouraging smile on her face. She finally made up her mind, stretched out her dark little hand and took the cake.
"Xiao Taozi, you should thank your father."
"Thanks!"
Although Xiao Taozi said thank you as Jiang Haitang meant, she never said the word "Dad".
