"Pei'er——" Liu Ercui, who was following behind Qin Hanshu, rushed out with a whoosh.

"My daughter, what happened?" Liu Ercui turned pale with fear and hurriedly picked up Pei'er, "Infirmary, send her to the infirmary..."

"Sister Er Cui, wait a moment," Qin Hanshu put Zhou Chi down and checked Pei'er.

"She must have choked." Qin Hanshu quickly turned Pei'er over, with her head tilted downward, and patted her back with one hand.

After a while, something rolled out of Pei'er's mouth.

Pei'er's breathing suddenly became smoother, and her complexion gradually returned to normal. She called out weakly, "Mom."

Liu Ercui hugged her daughter in her arms and cried, "I was scared to death..."

The situation today was indeed dangerous. If it had been a few minutes later, Pearl would probably have died.

Upon closer inspection, the thing that rolled out was actually a cashew nut.

These cashews are imported. Qin Hanshu exchanged them for foreign exchange coupons and bought two small cans.

Just took out a can for tea.

Zhou Chi and Pei'er were too young to eat any, so they only gave a handful to Yue'er.

Liu Ercui also told Yue'er not to feed Pei'er and Zhou Chi to avoid choking.

Moon.....

Qin Hanshu and Liu Ercui then began to look for Yue'er, and finally found her behind the curtains.

Qin Hanshu frowned and said, "Yue'er, what are you doing hiding there? Didn't you notice that your sister was choking?"

Yue'er walked out slowly from behind the curtain, her little face already covered with tears.

She moved towards the adults tremblingly, looking at Qin Hanshu with fear.

Seeing her like this, Qin Hanshu swallowed back the questions he was about to ask.

Since they are all members of the Zhang family, she might as well shut up and let Liu Ercui ask, and she would not get involved.

Liu Ercui held her daughter in her arms, blaming Yue'er in her heart for not calling out in time, but she still had to be patient and ask about the situation first.

"Yue'er, tell me, where did the cashews in my sister's mouth come from?"

Yue'er just cried, her cry was very soft, and her sobbing sounded particularly aggrieved, but her tears were like a flood, dripping from her chin to the ground.

Qin Hanshu was amazed. This child's tear glands are really well developed.

Liu Ercui was getting impatient and raised her voice, "Don't cry yet! Answer me!"

Yue'er was so scared that she stopped crying, but her tears were still flowing as she stared blankly at Liu Ercui.

Chuchu is so pitiful.

Liu Ercui took a deep breath.

She looked down at her daughter. Her little face looked listless and her chubby body curled up in her arms, motionless. Her heart ached so much.

She forced herself not to be angry and said gently, "Yue'er, did you feed your sister cashews?"

Yue Er finally spoke this time, hesitatingly saying, "She, she insisted on eating..."

"If she must eat, then give it to her?!" Liu Ercui said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to give it to your brothers and sisters? Pei'er is still young, and she will definitely be greedy when she sees you eating. Then just turn your back and eat it quietly!"

Perhaps feeling Liu Ercui's anger, Pei'er also started crying.

Qin Hanshu took Pei'er from Liu Ercui's arms, "Come, let auntie hold you."

Liu Ercui handed Pei'er over, then stood up, walked to Yue'er and squatted down.

"Even if you fed Pearl something she shouldn't have eaten and she choked, you should have shouted for us to come in. Why were you hiding? Huh?"

This is what makes Liu Ercui most angry.

It doesn’t matter if you get into trouble. What matters is that you should tell an adult in time.

Zhou Chi was only a little kid who couldn't even speak, but he knew that Pei'er was in trouble and went out to call adults.

Yue'er is already four years old, doesn't she know this?

"I, I'm scared...Mom, I'm scared..." Yue'er said with a pout, looking very aggrieved.

This made Liu Ercui so angry that she couldn't vent it.

If her sons had done such a thing, she would have punished them with a big stick long ago.

But that cannot be done to Yue'er. Yue'er is the living ancestor of her family. She cannot be beaten or scolded. Even when saying anything to her, she must weigh her tone and not speak too harshly.

Otherwise the man in the family will be angry with her.

But even so, Yue'er was still as timid as a mouse. She was timid in everything she did, which made others think she was a bad person.

Liu Ercui was angry at Yue'er for a while, but she was helpless and decided to wait for Zhang Lei to come back.

She thought the man would stand by her side this time, but after hearing what happened, Zhang Lei remained silent for a long time and finally spoke up for Yue'er:

"It's normal for children to want to cover up their mistakes because they are afraid of being punished."

"Ercui, you should reflect on yourself. Are you too strict with Yue'er? That's why she doesn't dare to tell you when something happens."

Liu Ercui stared at Zhang Lei in disbelief. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She said dryly, "Your daughter almost died today."

Zhang Lei glanced at his daughter who was eating egg custard with a spoon. Her face was ruddy. How could she look like someone who had experienced life and death?

"My daughter is fine, please don't curse her."

Liu Ercui suddenly felt speechless.

I can't even get angry anymore.

She only felt waves of weakness, as if the energy in her body had been sucked away.

"By the way, I noticed there's a cut somewhere on Yue'er's schoolbag. Can you help her sew it up when you have time?"

Yue'er is already in kindergarten, and Zhang Lei bought her schoolbag himself from the store.

Zhang Lei has never thought about his own children in this way.

Even though he was so busy at work, he still noticed that there was a cut on Yue'er's schoolbag.

Liu Ercui stood up and started collecting the bowls.

Several sons shouted, "Mom, we haven't finished eating yet."

Liu Ercui withdrew her hand and turned to go into the house. "I'll let your father wash the dishes later. I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to sleep first."

Zhang Lei glanced at Liu Ercui's back and said, "You go to sleep, I'll take a shower."

Liu Ercui paused.

I don't know why, but in the past two years, Zhang Lei has become much more considerate than before. He helps with cooking, washing dishes and doing housework at home, and sometimes he even buys her some vanishing cream and other things.

She thought it was because the man had grown older and knew how to be caring, but later she gradually realized that the man's change clearly started after Yue'er entered the house.

Every time he had an argument with her over Yue'er, Zhang Lei would do something to please her.

It seems that he also knows that he is biased towards Yue'er!

Liu Ercui became even angrier.

***

Qin Hanshu also told Zhou Weiguang what happened during the day.

"...It's really dangerous." Qin Hanshu sighed: "If it weren't for Ah Chi, Pei'er wouldn't know what would happen to her."

Zhou Weiguang picked up his son and asked curiously, "Can you call people now? Come on, call daddy."

Zhou Chi looked at Zhou Weiguang. The father and son stared at each other for a long while before Zhou Chi called out, "Dad."

Although her voice was still milky, her tone was gentle and crisp, not soft at all.

Qin Hanshu laughed and said, "This child is only a little over a year old but he's already so mature. I don't know who he takes after."

Zhou Weiguang doesn't feel like a father at all.

"Pei'er upstairs is very cute. It seems that daughters are better."

Zhou Weiguang smacked his lips regretfully, then looked at Qin Hanshu with shining eyes.

"Wife, hehe."

"Shall we have another daughter?"
