“Mengmeng has autistic tendencies.” Liu Qing received a call from her teacher saying that “Mengmeng has been sitting by the window all morning.”
He stays away from the crowd, sits alone on a small stool, and doesn't communicate with the outside world. "This has been going on for more than two months. You parents need to pay more attention."
How can I take it seriously?
When Liu Qing talks to her daughter, the daughter's response is always "Yes, okay, I know, Mom." She is incredibly obedient, and the mother and daughter are treated like guests.
On the contrary, he actually had some things to talk about with Sun Lifang.
Perhaps because of the previous medical visit, Guo Zhimeng became somewhat dependent on Sun Lifang, sitting quietly wherever they went and not causing trouble for others.
With round-framed glasses, and the hospital-corrected vision glasses blocking one side, he looked particularly pitiful sitting there.
Guo Zhimeng was the quietest of all the children. She was a small, cuddly girl. While Zhou Xinya was playing with others, she would obediently walk behind Sun Lifang and watch her work.
Often, as soon as Sun Lifang turns around, she can see the little girl in the corner, watching her fold vegetables, wash dishes, and comfort the baby.
Her small eyes were full of admiration and expectation, and she followed him everywhere he went.
"Who wouldn't feel heartbroken seeing this?" Sun Lifang called Liu Qing. "Where's her father? Didn't he call Mengmeng when he was transferred there?"
The parents are divorced, but they can't just abandon their child.
What child doesn't miss their parents?
Manager Guo has been transferred, and Liu Qing has a heavy workload. The elderly at home can keep an eye on things, but—
"Guo Zhimeng won't let them see it!"
"She's just being spoiled. Why can't she stay with her own uncle, grandparents, and maternal grandparents?"
Liu Qing pouted angrily, "Her grandparents treat her so well, but she just won't go. What can we do?"
Others might not understand, but Sun Lifang did: "Have you considered your sister-in-law?"
It's not that Guo Zhimeng's aunt was mean to her, but rather—
"If Mengmeng goes there, your parents will definitely favor Mengmeng. Will your sister-in-law be happy?"
Children are very sensitive and can read facial expressions.
Living under someone else's roof, even if her uncle protected her, a single look from her aunt could terrify a child.
"Moreover, the more your brother and your parents protect Mengmeng, the angrier your sister-in-law gets."
These things are hard to explain. It's a pity that Guo Zhimeng has to mature early at such a young age and experience the turbulent relationships among relatives.
"How did you know?" Realizing what had happened, Liu Qing didn't want to put her parents in a difficult position. As if she had thought of something, she sighed and said, "No wonder Mengmeng said she wanted to stay at your house."
Here's what happened: After the New Year, when school started, Guo Zhimeng caught a bad cold. Liu Baiyang, as her uncle, took Guo Zhimeng to the hospital, registered her, got her medicine, and started an IV drip. After all that, he was busy taking Guo Zhimeng back home.
As a result, his wife locked the door and said, "Don't let Mengmeng catch a cold and infect our son. It's not like we don't have money. Can't we stay in the hospital for a few days?"
From her perspective, that's true.
However, the elderly couple felt uneasy after hearing this, saying, "You have so many houses, and you don't even live on the same floor, how could you get infected?"
Furthermore, Mengmeng's parents are not around. If her uncles, grandparents, and maternal grandparents don't take care of her, where will she go if she gets sick?
"You won't even let me go home! You think you can make all the decisions in this house?"
The old lady angrily argued with her daughter-in-law, "If you had two babies, and the younger one got sick, would you not let her come back?"
That's impossible. Besides, "DouDou also caught a cold last time, why didn't you let DouDou be hospitalized and bring her back to take care of her?"
"I'm saying, who knows who gave Mengmeng that cold!"
The old lady was arguing with her daughter-in-law by name. They lived in two houses, and Guo Zhimeng lived in the west house. She wouldn't let her go home even if she didn't leave the house.
Even though DouDou has a cold, she still runs around and jumps about without any restraint.
The old lady treated them differently, saying, "Mengmeng's cold was caught by Doudou."
The family was in a huge uproar. Liu Baiyang had to work and couldn't stay at the hospital every day to take care of his niece. The old couple wanted to go and take care of her, but his wife said, "If you go, don't come back. You have the virus too!"
The way the old couple said this made them almost foresee the expression on their daughter-in-law's face when they were no longer able to walk and needed care.
A huge argument ensued, with the ownership of the house being brought up: "Who are you telling to get out? I gave birth to your son, so I'm the lady of the house! If you bought the house, I have a share!"
Because of Guo Zhimeng, the usually harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a falling out.
The old lady thought to herself, "We provided you with the house, the car, and the company. Now you want to control me because I live in the house next door? You won't let me go home? This is outrageous!"
Even if they're not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but just neighbors.
You have a cold, but your neighbor won't let you go back home. Is that reasonable?
No, why should we interfere? People want to go home, what's wrong with that?
Amidst the bloodshed on the other side, Liu Baiyang was caught in the middle and had no choice but to run to Guo Zhimeng, trying to coax her, "Uncle has no other choice, why don't you go back to your own home?"
My own home?
You were the one who took me there in the first place, but now you're sending me back.
However, looking at my uncle's bloodshot eyes, dark circles from not sleeping well for several days, and hoarse voice, I was quite surprised.
Guo Zhimeng didn't say anything, but nodded understandingly.
Still suffering from a bad cold, I dragged my luggage back home in a daze.
“Nobody wants me.” The little girl’s bedside was filled with various snacks, such as AD calcium milk, all bought by her uncle Liu Baiyang to coax her.
But no one was with her.
Wherever I go, there are people who are unhappy and argue because of me.
Over time, the little girl became more and more silent.
