Hearing Li Chu ask about the child, Jiang Li and Wu Xiaoliu both looked at Nannan nervously.
Nannan frowned and shook her head: "Uncle, I don't want Dad. He always bullies Mom."
"Then tell your uncle, do you want a new dad?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes at Li Chu and asked, "Uncle, what does 'new dad' mean? Does it mean that Uncle Liu is going to marry Mommy?"
"Darling, do you know what marriage means?"
"Knowing means living with us."
Wow, who submitted all of these?
Li Chu looked up at Jiang Li sitting opposite him, who gently shook her head, indicating that it wasn't her who handed it in.
"Uncle, will Sixth Uncle bully us like Dad used to?"
Hearing the child's words, Li Chu felt a lump in her throat. How old is this child? He already has psychological trauma.
Jiang Li's tears were already flowing uncontrollably.
Ding Qiunan got up and sat down next to her, gently patting her back and whispering words of comfort.
Wu Xiaoliu lowered his head and remained silent.
Even Wenhui and Wenxuan stopped playing and ran to their father, looking up at the little girl sitting on his lap.
"Nannan, why don't you ask Uncle Liu yourself?"
After hearing Li Chu's words, Nannan looked at her mother, then at Wu Xiaoliu, and mustered up her courage to ask, "Uncle... Uncle Liu, will you be good to Mom and Nannan in the future?"
"Yes, I will." Wu Xiaoliu looked directly into the child's pure and innocent eyes and nodded heavily.
A happy smile appeared on Nannan's face. She tilted her little head up and looked at Li Chu: "Uncle, can I call Uncle Liu 'Dad' from now on?"
"Yes, after she marries your mother, you will have to call him Dad."
"Oh, I have a dad!" Nannan clapped her hands happily, "I have a dad now!"
Jiang Li could no longer hold back and leaned on Ding Qiunan's shoulder, bursting into tears.
Nannan quickly jumped off Li Chu's lap and ran to her mother, snuggling up to her.
It took Jiang Li a while to stop crying.
Li Chu asked Nannan to lead Wenhui and Wenxuan to play on the swings.
"Sixth Brother, since you and Xiaoli have already made up your minds, please tell my brother-in-law as soon as possible. As for your family, I don't know about your situation. You two can discuss these things yourselves."
"Don't worry, Xiao Chu, I'll go find Brother Ziwen tomorrow." Wu Xiaoliu rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Jiang Li had recovered from her earlier sadness, and lowered her head with a slightly flushed face.
Ding Qiunan whispered teasingly in her ear, making Jiang Li even more embarrassed.
After thinking it over, Li Chu decided that his father should address some issues upfront to avoid future conflicts.
"Sixth Brother, there are some things I need to make clear to you."
The three people across the table looked at him with suspicion, wondering what he was going to say.
"Qiu Nan and I are both from Jiang Li's family, so you absolutely must not bully her in the future."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ding Qiunan added, "That's right, Sixth Brother, if you ever dare to bully Xiaoli in the future, we won't stand for it."
Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly waved his hands, somewhat flustered: "How could that be? It's impossible. I would never bully them, mother and daughter."
"That's for the best. Remember what you said." Li Chu pointed at Wu Xiaoliu.
"Also, because Xiaoli's health wasn't properly maintained before, she's still taking medication, and it's very likely she won't be able to have children in the future. Have you thought this through?"
“I know that. Xiaoli told me. I don’t care, and…” At this point, Wu Xiaoliu turned to look at the girl playing there, “That’s my daughter.”
This is actually what Li Chu is most worried about. He knows how much people in this era are attached to having their own children.
Looking at Jiang Li and Wu Xiaoliu across from him, exchanging silent glances, Li Chu didn't say anything more. Since they were both willing, he didn't want to be the bad guy. He hoped they could be happy in the future.
As darkness fell, after seeing off Wu Xiaoliu and the other two, Ding Qiunan stood at the gate, watching their departing figures, and turned to look at her husband.
"Li Chu, do you not think highly of them?"
"Why would you say that?" Li Chu was a little surprised that his wife would ask such a question.
Ding Qiunan shook her head and turned to walk into the gate: "I can't really say, it's just a feeling, it's like you don't think much of them."
Li Chu followed him into the courtyard, closed the gate, and bolted it.
"All I know is that Jiang Li may never be able to have children again. Right now, they are in the honeymoon phase, so these things don't seem like a problem. But once they get married, they will face the mundane realities of life, and there will inevitably be some bumps along the way. I hope that when that time comes, they will still remember the feeling of being in the honeymoon phase."
Ding Qiunan sighed after hearing her husband's words.
Yes, who knows what will happen when that time comes?
"Maybe they'll be very happy in the future."
Li Chu nodded: "Yes, I also hope they can be happy."
After saying that, he dragged the two little ones, who were already sweating profusely from playing, into the living room.
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around. Sit quietly on the blanket for a while, and I'll give you a bath later."
"Daddy, my older sister Nannan has started school. She says school is so much fun. When can my brother and I go to school?"
Xiao Wenxuan was sitting on the blanket on the floor and looked at his father.
"You two are still too young. You'll have to wait another two or three years until you're older before you can go to school."
"Daddy, can you grow up faster?"
"No, that's not possible. Everyone grows up gradually."
"But the nursery teacher said that if I eat well, I can grow up quickly."
"What Auntie said is..."
The two little ones sat on the blanket, snuggling up to their father, asking each other all sorts of strange and unusual questions.
Li Chu patiently answered their questions.
Ding Qiunan sat on the sofa doing needlework, mending the worn parts of the children's pants. Every now and then, she would look up at the three men on the floor, a smile that she couldn't shake off.
very nice!
After giving the two children a bath, I put them on the bed and let them sleep on their own.
Li Chu sat on the sofa in the living room and let out a long breath.
"Oh dear, where did they hear all that? Those strange questions, I won't know how to answer them in two years."
"I don't even know how to answer this now."
"They are at a time when their thirst for knowledge is at its peak, so we must answer their questions carefully."
"I'm leaving all of this to you; I simply can't handle it all myself."
Li Chu looked at his wife, both amused and exasperated: "What kind of mother are you?"
