Chapter 160 You Are My Mother
Su Zhi also hurried over and looked at the little boy. The little boy opened his eyes, which were a pair of very beautiful eyes. He looked at Su Zhi, his eyes widened, and then tears flowed out. He struggled to get up, and then he threw himself into Su Zhi's arms, calling loudly "Mom".
Well???
Su Zhi was petrified, and the people standing beside her were also petrified, wondering if the little boy's fever had not yet subsided, as why was he hugging Su Zhi and calling her mother?
"Baby, I'm not your mother. You've got the wrong person. I will definitely help you find your mother. Be good and lie down quickly. Don't catch a cold anymore."
Su Zhi patted the little boy's back and wanted to pick him up and put him back on the bed, but he held her tightly and refused to let go.
"No, you are my mother, you are my mother! You look exactly like my mother! You are my mother! Mother, I will never disobey you again, please don't deny me——"
The little boy started crying again as he spoke. His little body was shaking and he even hiccuped.
Su Zhi quickly said, "Okay, I'm your mother, dear, come and lie down quickly. If your illness gets worse, I'll be heartbroken."
After much coaxing and deception, he finally coaxed the little boy back into bed, but Su Zhi was still held tightly by his hand, and his eyes were fixed on Su Zhi, as if he was afraid that Su Zhi would run away. His little mouth was tightly pursed, but it was still twitching, which was really pitiful to see.
"Brother, why do you call her aunt? Is she your mother?" The little girl asked the little boy while lying on the bed, her eyes constantly looking at Su Zhi.
"She is my mother. I remember that my mother looks like this. There is no mistake."
Su Zhi listened to the little boy's confident words and thought to herself, could this be a chick plot? A newly born bird will recognize the first person it sees after opening its eyes as its mother. Maybe the little boy had a fever and was confused, so when he opened his eyes, he saw her and thought she was his mother. Or maybe his mother looks a bit like him, which is possible. There is nothing special about her current appearance, just a so-called common face. Nowadays, women all have similar hair styles, and children have poor memories. If they see people with similar faces, they will think they are the same person!
The little boy said to Su Zhi, "Mom, I won't run around anymore. Please don't leave me."
Su Zhi didn't know what to say. In her two lives, this was the first time someone called her "mother". For Su Zhi, who wanted to be a mother in her previous life but failed, this was really a magical experience. She just couldn't bear to tell this little guy that she was not his mother. Instead, she thought in her heart, it would be great if she was really his mother.
"Okay, I won't leave. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
"Yes, I want my mother to feed me. She hasn't fed me for a long time."
After Su Zhi finished feeding the child, she saw that he had fallen asleep again, and then she stood up.
Qian Guang said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, this is really interesting. You brought back these three babies. The little girl looks just like you, and the little boy calls you mother as soon as he opens his mouth. You have a son and a daughter without any effort."
Su Zhi smiled and said, "That's right. At first I thought this little kid looked like your fourth brother. So, it's not two, but three. This is really fate. If their parents can't be found, maybe God sent us three children."
Liang Fu looked at the little boy standing on the ground who had not spoken a word, and said in surprise: "This little boy really looks a bit like Brother Shen. Sister Zhao, maybe you really have a connection with these three little boys."
Shen Zian looked at the three little kids and went over to hold Su Zhi's hand.
The little boy and girl blinked their eyes after hearing what the adults said, and the little girl held on to Su Zhi's clothes tightly and refused to let go.
Qian Dafu and Qian Guang handed all the kidnappers over to the people in the county government. Because one of the three children was sick and could not be moved, he did not go into the county town. Naturally, the other two were unwilling to go either, so they all stayed in the Qian family.
Su Zhi played with the two little kids, asking them some questions while playing. After asking for a long time, the final result was that the three children really didn't know where their home was. Let's not talk about the one who was asleep and had a confused memory, but he could call Su Zhi "mother". The oldest boy here only remembered that there were many people and rooms in the family, and then some common names like grandpa and grandma, and he couldn't ask anything useful. And the little girl didn't remember anything.
The little boy did remember some things, saying that they escaped from someone, then the three of them boarded a boat, and then were taken away for a long time, and finally they were caught again, and then they were in the hands of these people again. He spoke in a confused and intermittent manner, saying that they were outside for a long time.
Su Zhi heard this and thought it was no wonder that they couldn't remember where their home was. These three children must have been wandering outside for too long. If they left home a year ago, they were only three or four years old at the time. At such a young age, it was easy for them to forget things. It was already very good to have some fragments of memory.
Liang Fu shed tears as she listened to the children's stories. She felt that these three children were really pitiful.
Shen Zian's eyes turned red as he looked at Su Zhi. He walked over and gently held her hand.
Su Zhi said to Shen Zian, "Zian, before these children find their parents, can we let them live with us? I really like them."
Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian pleadingly. She knew that this was about raising three children, not three cats and dogs, so she had to ask Shen Zian and get his consent.
Shen Zian said, "As long as you like them, it's fine. Our house is big, but if you want them over, you'll have to ask Mr. Qian and the county magistrate."
Liang Fu listened from the side and admired the couple in her heart. She thought they were really kind-hearted. When they saw that these three little kids couldn't find their parents, they thought of taking them in. After all, they had three mouths to feed, which was a burden for farmers in the country. However, they were willing to take on the responsibility without hesitation.
"Sister Zhao, Brother Shen, if you can take these three children in, I am willing to give you a sum of money to cover their food, clothing and other expenses."
Su Zhi said, "Ms. Liang, we can still afford to raise these three children. We really don't need your money."
Liang Fu said, "Sister Zhao, please accept them. I actually want to take these three children in, but I am now living with my uncle, so I can't make the decision. And even if the children can stay, their identities are embarrassing. They are definitely not the daughters of a young master. I can't bear to let such lovely children become slaves, so I am willing to pay a sum of money. This is my intention, and I love these three children."
Su Zhi saw that what Liang Fu said was sincere, and thought that Miss Liang was a kind person, and she was also thoughtful and smart.
"To be honest, Miss Liang, since my husband and I are going to take in these three children, we will definitely raise them very well. Miss Liang's kindness is really unnecessary. If you really like them, you don't have to express it with money. As long as you help my husband and I say a few more words in front of the cashier so that he can register these three children under our household, that will be your love for these three children."
Su Zhi still rejected Liang Fu's money. She was not short of money, nor did she want Liang Fu's money. After all, the child was too young. If the money came into her hands, it would be bad if others said that she had used it. She had heard of such things before. In the end, she would become the bad person, which was unfair.
Liang Fu seemed to understand Su Zhi's concerns and nodded in agreement with her proposal. At the same time, she had a little more respect for Su Zhi, thinking that Su Zhi was not a greedy person and was extremely smart.
Mr. Qian was very happy when he learned that Shen Zian and Su Zhi wanted to take in the three little kids. The three little kids really couldn't find their parents now, and the kidnappers really couldn't tell from whom they bought the little kids. They only heard that the person who sold the three little kids was a passerby from afar. When they heard the little kids say that they took a boat and walked a long way to get here, it would be even more difficult for them to find their hometown.
The county officials didn't know what to do with these three little kids, so it was a good thing that someone was willing to take them in.
Mr. Qian asked Shen Zian and Su Zhi to find time to take the children to the county government office to go through the adoption procedures and put the three babies under their names. That would be all.
Su Zhi didn't expect it to be so easy, but she was very happy in her heart. Thinking that she would have three lovely children at home, she felt that home would be even warmer.
The little girl became happy when she heard that she could live with Su Zhi.
Although the little boy didn't smile and looked so calm, you could tell he was happy.
Su Zhi took the opportunity to add some lotus pollen into the medicine, which made the little boy get better. She wanted to take the three of them home quickly, as it was too awkward for them to stay in the Qian family.
The little boy recovered quickly after taking the medicine and could no longer lie in bed.
Shen Zian said goodbye to Mr. Qian and wanted to take Su Zhi and the three children back home. When Mr. Qian saw that the child was well, he agreed and told them not to forget to go to the county town to complete the adoption procedures.
Liang Fu and Su Zhi were chatting together, and she really liked Su Zhi. In addition, housekeeper Zhang said that the sweet and sour cake that she liked very much was made by Su Zhi, and the crisp persimmons were also bought from Su Zhi's friends. Finally, she found out that Su Zhi could also cook that kind of persimmons. She felt that Su Zhi was not an ordinary farm woman.
In the warmest afternoon, Shen Zian drove his ox cart with his wife and three children and left the Qian family and returned to the village.
