Chapter 114
Sister Wei held her granddaughter on a stool nearby. Seeing Wen Wan looking at her curiously, she did not hide it.
"My daughter Lingling has some eye problems and can't see clearly, so I'm worried about her walking alone."
So that's how it is. Wen Wan immediately said with regret: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"It's nothing. You just got here, right? We all know about it here."
There's actually no point in hiding this matter, it's better to say it openly. After all, everyone will know about it when they get to know each other better.
Wen Wan looked at Lingling again after hearing this. The little girl was about four or five years old, a little older than Da Wa and Er Niu. She was also very well-behaved and cute, with big eyes as dark and bright as grapes. Unfortunately, her gaze was always fixed in a certain direction, and she had no perception of changes in the outside world.
Sister Wei must have been used to people showing such expressions when they met Lingling for the first time, so she just smiled.
"Lingling, please help grandma entertain the guests. I'll get you some food, okay?"
Lingling nodded obediently. Although she couldn't see her grandmother, she spoke in the direction where the voice came from.
"good."
Sister Wei went to get something. When Da Wa and Er Niu saw her leave, they looked at Ling Ling curiously.
They are not very wary of children of the same age and even have a natural sense of closeness to them.
But they also noticed Lingling's eyes and asked Wen Wan in a low voice.
"Mom, why aren't my sister's eyes moving?"
Their eyes were all rolling around, but the sister's eyes were always staring in one direction, which made her look different from them.
The eldest boy looked curious, and the second girl opened her eyes wide in anticipation of a gentle reply.
Wen Wan paused, then quietly explained to them, "Because my sister's eyes are so beautiful, the evil witch cast a spell on them. When the witch is defeated, my sister will be able to see again."
She compared Lingling's illness to the tricks of a bad witch, and defeating the bad witch could be understood as relying on doctors to help treat and defeat the disease in the future.
Because she had told some fairy tales to Da Wa and Er Niu, in which there were witches who played the role of villains, so the two little ones understood immediately.
In their impression, the evil witch was extremely evil and only knew how to bully good people!
Upon hearing this, Da Wa and Er Niu immediately frowned and looked angry.
“That’s too bad!”
Erniu also nodded in agreement, clenched her little fists, and looked like she was going to defeat the evil witch together with her brother.
Wen Wan also noticed that when she said this, Lingling, who was sitting next to her, turned her head curiously, as if she was surprised by what Wen Wan said.
Of course she knew that her eyes were sick, so she couldn't see.
But is it possible that there really is a bad witch in this world? Will her eyes be healed if the bad witch is defeated one day?
Lingling suddenly had more expectations for the future.
Sister Wei behind her saw Lingling's expression change, and couldn't help but look at Wen Wan, feeling a little emotional.
I didn't expect that Lingling's situation could be described in this way.
"Come, Lingling, have a meal with your two younger brothers and sisters."
Sister Wei came to her senses and put the snacks she had prepared on the table for the three children to eat together.
She placed the snacks in a place where Lingling could reach them, so Lingling reached out and, like a little master, pushed the snacks in the direction of Da Wa and Er Niu, who had just been identified.
Although she couldn't see them, she could feel that they were there.
"Brother and sister, you eat."
When Sister Wei saw this scene, she felt both proud and heartbroken. Her Lingling was such a good person, how could God treat her like this!
After hearing Wen Wan's explanation, Da Wa and Er Niu were very nice to Ling Ling.
These are the good people who are bullied by the bad witch. They want to play with her and try to defeat the bad witch together!
So the two children went straight to Lingling and started talking to her excitedly.
"Sister, you eat too!"
The eldest child picked up the snacks and handed them to Lingling, and the second girl followed suit.
"Sister, eat!"
Seeing the two little guys being so nice to Lingling, Wen Wan looked at them with a smile, and Sister Wei next to her also breathed a sigh of relief.
She would help people in the compound look after children. In fact, it was not because she was really short of money. The biggest reason was that she wanted to have more children at home, so that they could play with Lingling together if possible.
In Lingling's situation, it is not easy for them to take her out often, but she is still young, and it will definitely be bad for her growth if she stays at home without any peers to play with.
So when those children came, she would take Lingling out to sit with them first to see how the children reacted to Lingling.
If Du Lingling does not object, she will choose to help the other party take care of the children and stay at home.
But if those children bully Lingling, look down on her, call her a blind monster or something like that, then she will never help take care of the children no matter how much money they are offered!
Fortunately, in Sister Wei's eyes, Wen Wan's two children are very sensible and well-behaved, and they can play together with Lingling. She has decided that it would be okay to help Wen Wan take care of the children for free.
The three children gathered together and talked about children's topics, and Wen Wan talked about her own things with Sister Wei.
She briefly explained her situation with Liang Jinheng, and Sister Wei then realized that she was Liang Jinheng's wife.
As the deputy director of the steel plant, Liang Jinheng became famous throughout the compound before he even started working. As Liang Jinheng's wife, everyone was naturally curious about Wen Wan.
They also speculated that Liang Jinheng was a rural kid who was promoted, and his wife seemed to be from the countryside as well. They didn't know what the couple were like, but they were probably like most rural people, rustic.
However, what was unexpected was that if Wen Wan herself had not said that she was Liang Jinheng's wife, Sister Wei would never have believed that she was from the countryside.
She looks so elegant, and her clothes and appearance don't look rustic at all. On the contrary, she is prettier than many city girls!
"Okay, that's no problem. I like these two kids, and they have a lot of fun playing with Lingling. It's fine for them to stay with me for a few more days!"
After hearing what others said, Wen Wan couldn't really leave the two children there and delay them, so she finally agreed to send them to kindergarten when school started.
As for the fee, Wen Wan said that it would be fine as long as Sister Wei asked for it.
But Sister Wei didn't really want to take Wen Wan's money. As long as Lingling could have fun, her family would actually be taking advantage of Wen Wan's two children, right?
But under Wen Wan's repeated requests, she finally said that she would only give her 40 cents a day.
In fact, 40 cents a day is not a lot for taking care of two children for a whole day, including their snacks.
She usually takes care of other children for only 50 cents each.
Wen Wan didn't think it was expensive, so she paid for two days without hesitation. As for if the kindergarten wanted to extend the period later, she would just pay more.
After making sure, Wen Wan did not take the two children home directly. Instead, she let them stay and play with Lingling for a while. Only after the three children had completely gotten to know each other well did she prepare to take them home.
However, after sitting for the whole afternoon, when she stood up, she realized that it was time to get off work.
Just as I said goodbye to Sister Wei, I heard the sound of a lock being unlocked at the door.
Sister Wei stood up and said, "Maybe my daughter is back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a female comrade came in.
When the female comrade saw the unfamiliar Wen Wan in the room, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded at her politely.
Wen Wan also said hello.
"Mom, I'm going to change my clothes first."
After saying that, the female comrade glanced at Lingling who was sitting obediently beside her, walked over, picked her up and went into the room together.
Sister Wei immediately introduced her daughter's situation to Wen Wan. Only then did Wen Wan know that Lingling's mother was actually the only director of the production department in the steel plant?
Wen Wan heard about Lingling's mother from Liang Jinheng by chance. He said that there was also a legendary iron lady in their factory, who was a career-oriented woman like Wen Wan.
Although she is young, she is very conscientious and capable, so her superiors overcame all difficulties and promoted her to be the director of the first production department.
This made countless people who had coveted that position for a long time feel unwilling. From time to time, the situation gave her some small obstacles, but it did not defeat her at all. Instead, it allowed this female comrade to achieve great success. The department she led was awarded the advanced production department of the factory many times.
Wen Wan couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Lingling's mother whom she had just seen.
After chatting for a while, Wen Wan took her two children home.
When I got home, Liang Jinheng was already there. Only when he saw Wen Wan and the others come back did he ask about what happened in the afternoon.
After Wen Wan explained the situation, Liang Jinheng felt relieved. He rubbed Da Wa's head and said.
"You must be polite when you visit someone else's house tomorrow."
Although the two children were still somewhat reluctant about going to Lingling's house to stay for a day tomorrow, they also knew that their parents had to go to work and make money and could no longer take them with them, so they were forced to accept it.
The eldest child puffed up his cheeks and pulled his head out of Liang Jinheng's palm, saying, "Dad, my sister and I have always been very polite!"
It seems like they don't know how to be polite.
Fortunately, Liang Jinheng is also a person who admits his mistakes quickly.
He chuckled and reflected, "Well, what I just said was wrong. You should be more polite, okay?"
Humph, that’s pretty good.
Big Baby was satisfied.
That night, the whole family went to bed early because everyone had to go to work or report to other people's homes the next day and could not be delayed.
Early the next morning, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng sent the two children to Sister Wei's house. After watching the two children go in obediently, they left.
However, since it was the first time they sent the child to someone else's home, they both decided to come back at noon to check on the child before they felt at ease.
After leaving the family compound, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng prepared to separate, one to the left and the other to the right, as their workplaces were not in the same direction.
But what Wen Wan didn't expect was that when she walked to the street on the right, Liang Jinheng, who was supposed to turn left to the steel plant, actually followed her.
Wen Wan was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"Did you go the wrong way?"
