Chapter 327: What to do with this child in the future
Mother Xu lay on the bedside of Dezi, crying all the time, not noticing that Dezi's lips were dry from coughing. It was only when Yu Shirley came over that she got some warm water and a piece of gauze to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"You, you finally came back, but you still can't bear to leave your son. Humph, I tell you, you can get married and find a man. Dezi is the grandson of my Xu family. His surname is Xu. Don't think of taking him away. I know everything. That man has an old mother who doesn't have any children. You want to pick up our ready-made grandson for them to take care of in their old age? Bah, dream on!"
"You shameless old thing, you are so wicked and immoral. Who do you think is immortal? Even if there is no mirror, there is still urine. Take a good look at your old orange-peel face. How dare you talk about others? I have already said that I am here to take care of Dezi to complete our mother-son relationship. When he is discharged from the hospital, you see whether I will take care of him or not. I will also pick up your ready-made grandson. Don't dream about it. Others have a lot of money. It will be a waste of food to raise a grandson for you. Besides, Lao Qian and I are young. It is easy for us to take care of our bodies and raise 17 or 18 children. You can keep your eldest grandson. I will burn the first incense for you during the Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival."
Yu Shirley saw that Dezi had nothing to do, so she sat aside knitting and ignored Xu's mother.
After a day of fussing, Xu's mother hadn't had a single sip of water or a bite of food, and was extremely hungry.
Qian Chengwang pushed the door open and walked over, holding a lunch box and a thermos in his hands.
"Shirley, you must be hungry. I made your favorite celery fried pork, potato chips, steamed bread made of two-grain flour, and a bowl of millet porridge. Eat it while it's hot."
After opening the lunch box and the thermos, a fragrance wafted out. Yu Shirley put the half-knitted sweater on Dezi's bed, and then took the lunch box.
"Why did you serve me so much meat? You and Auntie won't eat it?"
"We made a lot. We also stewed eggs for Daya and Xiaoya. The two children love it. Mom said she will make scrambled eggs with green onions and braised pig's trotters for you tomorrow. My mom is an excellent cook. In the future, if you want to eat anything, just tell her."
"Oh, Auntie loves me the most."
The two of them talked and laughed while ate the hot meal. They didn't intend to give any to Xu's mother. She was so angry that her face turned red and white, and soon her stomach growled from the delicious smell.
"You are such a conscienceless person, you don't know how to respect the old and love the young. You flirt with me like this in front of an old woman. You are shameless and you are not afraid of being criticized."
"Isn't this rice delicious? Mother specially added lard. You have to take care of the children. You can't live without oil in your stomach. I have asked for leave from the canteen. You can take care of the children during the day and go home to have a good rest at night. I have found an old nurse who is very reliable. Don't worry, don't tire yourself out."
"No need. After we get married, we will spend money everywhere. I just said that I would give you some children. Don't look at me like that. People say we are flirting. I have nothing to be shy about. I am already this age."
Qian Chengwang was very happy to hear what Yu Shirley said. His mother had mentioned this matter before, but he felt that they were both busy, and there were two children, Daya and Xiaoya, at home. It was good enough that they could accept them now, and they might not be able to accept having another member in the family so quickly. He didn't expect Yu Shirley to bring this matter up in the open.
"Okay, Shirley, I'll listen to you. You're the boss of our family. Oh, when we get married, I'll give you the financial power of the family. You can decide how to live your life in the future. I'll get pocket money from you."
The two smiled at each other.
Xu's mother looked at the two people who were thinking about their married life without paying attention to others. She was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't speak.
After Yu Shirley finished her meal, Qian Chengwang looked at Xu's mother.
"Auntie, I heard that your son and your old man have been arrested and taken to the police station. Shirley is watching here. If you have time, you should go to the police station and take a look!"
"What? What did you say? When did it happen? Who did it happen? Is it you, Yu Shirley? Is it you who did it?"
"Hmph, I don't have the time to care about your family's affairs. Get out of here!"
Mother Xu saw that Yu Shirley didn't seem to be lying, looked at her grandson on the bed, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the door angrily.
After she left, the smile on Yu Shirley's face faded a lot. She knew that Laizi was a beast, but she never knew that he could be so beastly as to beat Dezi like this.
In the past, the Xu family loved this child the most, and they took good care of him. He never suffered any hardship. Almost all the children in Lujia Village could not eat as well as him.
I never thought that he would end up like this.
Looking at the child on the hospital bed, Yu Shirley felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, the child is fine. Just take good care of yourself."
"Oh, what should I do with this child in the future? It's really worrying."
"Shirley, you know, I don't mind raising another child at all. You said before that this child is ignorant, but now you have changed."
Yu Shirley shook her head and decided to ignore it.
"No, I can't take care of this child. If I take care of him, there will be endless troubles in the family. Let's see, wait until he grows up!"
Qian Chengwang completely respected him in this aspect.
The next day.
Shen Meng brought several children from Mingyang to visit Dezi. If there was any affection between them, it was probably only a friendship of fighting. Now the children from Mingyang were also very annoyed with Dezi.
They thought it was only because of Daya and Xiaoya. They cried so hard when they left. They were classmates. After the school started, they went to school in the city, so it was difficult to see them.
Dezi was still a little dazed when he woke up. He rolled his eyes and saw Yu Shirley guarding the bed. He thought his eyes were blurry.
"Mom, is that you?"
Yu Shirley took care of him however she wanted when he was asleep, but when he woke up, the feelings in his heart suddenly became complicated.
"Wake up now. How could you, kid, jump into the river?"
"I, I'm a burden. Dad beat me so hard that it hurt. I don't want to be beaten, and I don't want to be a burden."
He sniffed, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was almost inaudible.
Yu Shirley's nose was sore when he said that. Shen Meng, who had just gone to wash fruits, came back with the children. Seeing that Dezi woke up, they all went to greet him. Mingyang and the others came over to take a look, and then turned back to play.
Dezi was a little embarrassed to see that he was sick and surrounded by so many people.
"Brother, are you okay? You should take good care of yourself. Mother and I will take good care of you."
"Sister, I, I'm fine, I'm in good health, I'm fine."
Yu Shirley looked at him in silence for a long time. She didn't know what to say, and the thoughts in her heart were wavering.
