The "Brother Xu" the little guy was referring to was undoubtedly Chen Dongxu. Because he often went with Song Lan to the house of Deputy Factory Director Zhang and watched Song Lan, his sister-in-law, give Chen Dongxu acupuncture, the adorable little Wu and Chen Dongxu, one big and one small, actually became friends.
Well, or you could say that the adorable little Wu unilaterally believes that he and Chen Dongxu are friends.
As for what Chen Dongxu was thinking, only he himself knows.
"Um."
Song Lan smiled and nodded slightly.
At the same time, the Chen family.
living room.
Chen Dongxu, sitting in his wheelchair, was quietly listening to his elder brother Chen Dongsheng and the old man chatting when suddenly he said, "Brother, after lunch, could you drive me out for a bit?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongsheng immediately responded, "Okay."
"What's up?"
Chen Changqing sat on the sofa next to Chen Dongxu, his gaze falling on his second son, Chen Dongxu, his deep, unfathomable black eyes revealing doubt.
"Um."
Chen Dongxu nodded.
"It's best to stay home if you can avoid going out, so you don't accidentally injure your leg again."
Knowing that Chen Dongxu's legs had improved significantly after Song Lan's treatment, Chen Changqing didn't want anything to go wrong during the treatment. Therefore, what he said at this moment was definitely a father's most sincere concern for his son, rather than an attempt to restrict his freedom.
"I will be careful."
Even though Chen Changqing is usually quiet and has a serious expression, Chen Dongxu could see and hear that his father was genuinely concerned about him and had no other intentions.
However, having already arranged the acupuncture time, he naturally wouldn't stand Dr. Song up.
Without a doubt, this Dr. Song refers to Song Lan.
However, Chen Dongxu would not mention that he was going to get acupuncture in this family, lest his stepmother smell the scent and continue to cause trouble for him.
"With Dongsheng by his side, what could possibly happen to Xiaoxu? You can put your mind at ease. Since the child has something to do and needs to go out, just let him go!"
This is the voice of Chen's grandmother. Her maiden name was He, and her given name was Suyin. Like Old Mrs. Luo, she came from a respectable family. However, while Old Mrs. Luo taught at a university, Suyin joined the revolution after graduating from a women's university in her early years. Later, after the country was established, she served as an outstanding female cadre and contributed to the country.
However, due to the hardships he endured traveling with his team in his youth and participating in numerous battles, he sustained many hidden injuries.
Even with meticulous treatment, her body still suffered considerable damage, leading to her early retirement. She has been carefully recuperating so that she can close her eyes without regrets before she dies.
Yes, Mrs. Chen, who is actually Mrs. He, has had a regret for many years, but she has never spoken of it. As her husband, Mr. Chen knows this perfectly well.
He felt that the regret his wife held in her heart was also his own!
Therefore, he secretly used his connections to help his wife, which was also to help himself fulfill his wish.
However, to this day, their wishes have not seen any progress.
Grandpa Chen is quite worried... quite worried that he and his wife will pass away with regrets in the future, and if that happens, they may not be able to close their eyes in peace.
"How about my older brother and I accompany Xiaoxu out?"
Chen Dongze suddenly made a suggestion.
"Need not."
Before Chen Dongxu could say anything, Chen Dongsheng glanced at Chen Dongze and politely declined on Chen Dongxu's behalf, saying, "I can take good care of Xiaoxu on my own."
"Well... okay then!"
Chen Dongze twitched the corner of his mouth and replied sullenly.
...
After lunch, Chen Dongsheng first put Chen Dongxu in the car, then put the folded wheelchair in the car as well, and then drove out of the courtyard.
Outside the living room door.
Chen Dongze watched Chen Dongsheng's car drive out of the courtyard gate, his gaze lingering there.
"Isn't it cold standing here?"
Zhang Hua appeared behind Chen Dongze at some point and said, "Go back to your room and rest. You'll only suffer if you catch a cold standing here."
"mom……"
Chen Dongze stood still, then softly called out to his mother, saying, "I feel that my older brother and Xiaoxu have become much colder towards me."
"Your older brother is just like your father; he's indifferent to everyone. Don't overthink it."
As Zhang Hua spoke, she paused, then added, "As for Xiao Xu, he is probably quieter because of his leg problems."
"..."
Chen Dongze opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
"Let's go inside. It's windy here; you'll definitely catch a cold if you stand here for too long!"
Zhang Hua urged.
Just then, a figure walked in through the courtyard gate. Seeing Lai Ri, Zhang Hua frowned and asked, "Why aren't you at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year? What are you doing here?"
"Can't I come back to visit?"
Chen Shu, that's right, the person who came was Chen Shu. She pouted and walked over with an unhappy look on her face, saying, "Although I married into the Wang family, this is still my home. Are you going to kick me out now?"
With a snort, Chen Shu stepped onto the stairs: "Why aren't you coming inside? What are you doing standing here in the wind? It's freezing! I need to go inside quickly!"
"You're pregnant, so be careful!"
Zhang Hua was afraid that Chen Shu would fall, so he quickly gave her some instructions.
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Shu responded impatiently. As she passed Chen Dongze, she stopped and asked, "Second Brother, are you planning to continue standing here?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Dongze seemed not to hear what she said. He turned around and went inside. By the time Chen Shu reacted, Chen Dongze had already gone upstairs to the second floor.
"Mom, how could my second brother do this? I spoke to him politely, but he just ignored me. What does that mean?"
Chen Shu looked unhappy.
"Your second brother is probably thinking about something. Alright, come in and have a seat."
Zhang Hua changed the subject and invited Chen Shu into the living room.
"My dad and grandparents aren't home? And where are my older brother and younger brother?"
Seeing no one else in the living room, Chen Shu couldn't help but frown and say, "Could it be that they don't want to see me? If that's the case, aren't my dad and the others being a bit too stingy?!"
"I'm already married, and I'm pregnant with the Wang family's child. My dad and grandparents can't possibly make me abort the baby because of what happened between me and the Xiao family, can they?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Zhang Hua reprimanded him in a low voice.
Chen Shu rolled her eyes, then leaned back on the sofa without any regard for her image, and said, "Even you know how disgraceful what you did before was. Shouldn't your dad say a few harsh words to you?"
Xiaoshu, listen to me carefully. Don't even think about throwing a tantrum in front of your dad and grandparents again, or they might really cut ties with you completely, and then I won't care about you."
“My parents have already cut ties with me, but they can say whatever they want. I can do whatever I want. I don’t believe they can really kick me out of this house.”
