"Be good, go play with your brother Xiao Tao."
Zhang Meng looked at him for a while and found that this boy was still the same boy, but he didn't know why he had changed so much.
Last time she asked this brat to call her auntie, but this brat was so arrogant that he refused to call her that.
Just as Zhang Meng was wondering, Liu Fenfang explained, "The child's mother came to the military area a few days ago and almost took him away. Luckily, the boy was smart and cried and yelled at the gate, refusing to leave. The soldiers at the gate stopped him. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Deputy Regimental Commander Niu to find him."
Zhang Meng sat up straight after hearing this, took Liu Fenfang's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on? Didn't Zhang Lihua divorce Deputy Headman Niu a long time ago? Why is she back?"
Liu Fenfang glanced in the direction Niu Xiaofu had entered, then lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Zhang Lihua found a worker in the county town and married him a few days after divorcing Deputy Regiment Leader Niu. It was also her second marriage, but the man was not a good person. He beat his wife. His ex-wife couldn't stand it, so she divorced him and took their daughter with her."
Zhang Meng was shocked. "Is Zhang Lihua crazy? She actually married that kind of man. Didn't she know that he beat his wife? Why did she still marry him?"
Liu Fenfang sneered, "How could she not know? I guess she was bewitched by that man's mouth. I heard that man's mouth is particularly good at making women happy."
Zhang Meng got the gist of what was going on and looked at Liu Fenfang curiously. "That's not right, sister-in-law. How come you know so much about that man? Do you know him?"
The others nodded in succession.
Xiaoqing also slapped her thigh and said, "I was just about to ask this question, but Xiaomeng beat me to it."
Seeing everyone staring at her, Liu Fenfang smiled awkwardly and whispered, "I've been to the county town a few times. It's so big. If anything happens, everyone in the county will know about it in less than half a day. I just heard it from others."
After hearing her explanation, everyone believed it.
Zhang Meng immediately asked, "Since Zhang Lihua is already married, why did she come back to take care of Niu Xiaofu's child?"
Liu Fenfang chuckled again and whispered, "I heard that man injured his reproductive organs during a fight and is now infertile. He probably knew Zhang Lihua already had a son, so I guess he wanted her to bring him over as his own."
After hearing this, Tao Hong immediately let out a loud "Pooh!", "Is Zhang Lihua a complete idiot? Niu Xiaofu is the son of Deputy Regimental Commander Niu. How could that man treat someone else's son well? She actually wanted to take him to someone else's family as their son. She's really going backwards."
Zhang Meng sighed when she heard this, "A woman blinded by love."
Perhaps knowing the brat's experience, Zhang Meng didn't say anything when Grandma Zhang invited him to dinner this time. Later, when she was picking up food for Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu at the table, she also picked up a piece for him.
As a result, he didn't eat, but just kept his head down. After a while, everyone at the table heard sobbing sounds.
Zhang Meng looked at the brat who started crying for no reason with a bewildered look on her face. "What's wrong? I didn't seem to scold you. Why are you crying? Don't you like the food I picked for you? If so, I'll just take it back. Stop crying, okay?"
Niu Xiaofu raised his tear-filled eyes to look at Zhang Meng, sobbing, "No, I don't dislike the food you picked for me, I'm just sad. Why did my mother take me to that man's house? I have a father, why did she say she wanted to take me to my other father's? Why doesn't my mother want my father anymore? And my sister, I don't know where she went. I miss her so much. At worst, I can just promise her that I won't scold her anymore."
When everyone present heard his innocent words, they all put down their chopsticks helplessly.
This brat doesn't even know that his sister is long gone.
Grandma Zhang was heartbroken. She held him in her arms and comforted him, "Good boy, don't cry. From now on, grandma will take care of you. If your father is not at home, come here and grandma will cook for you."
Niu Xiaofu cried out of breath and hugged Grandma Zhang's arms tightly, "Grandma Zhang, why doesn't my mother want me anymore? I want my mother, I want my mother."
Grandma Zhang coaxed him softly with a distressed look on her face. Fortunately, children are the kind of innocent ones who can forget unhappy things as soon as they have something to eat.
Finally, Zhang Meng picked up a chicken leg for him, which finally coaxed the little boy who was crying uncontrollably.
Niu Xiaofu came back very late again. When he got home, he saw that his son was not at home. He knew that his son was sleeping next door again, so he walked over and knocked on the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
The person who opened the door was Gu Mingtai.
Niu Dayong saw Gu Mingtai coming back and said happily, "You're back. Sorry, I wanted to pick you up today, but something happened in the group and I didn't have time to pick you up. Let's have a drink together in the next two days."
"I know you're busy, there's no rush." Gu Mingtai had just finished answering when Zhang Meng came out holding the sleeping Niu Xiaofu.
When Niu Dayong saw his sleeping son, a look of heartache appeared on his face. He took his son from Zhang Meng's arms and thanked Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai solemnly.
After seeing off the Niu father and son, the young couple finally returned to their room and prepared to go to bed.
The two of them lay on the bed, chatting about things around them.
