Chapter 02 Chapter 2
Yue Qing looked down at the medicine in his hand and had the urge to stuff it all into his mouth and be done with it. How did he become a legal expert?
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and fed the fever-reducing medicine to the child: "Take the medicine first."
[Give me a little more time to sort out the mess in my head and figure out how to get my brother back.]
Little Le'an, who had been secretly observing his aunt's reaction, widened his eyes slightly when he read her inner voice. His aunt was really weird today, but why?
But her young brain at this age did not allow her to think about anything too profound. Fearing that her aunt would change her mind, she hurriedly held her aunt's hand and swallowed all the medicine, then hurriedly reached for her little purse.
"Auntie, I have some money here." She held up her cell phone, "Can I buy you a brother?"
The original owner didn't like taking care of children and thought they were a burden. She usually just gave the brother and sister one mobile phone and would only contact them when something happened.
However, Yueqing was really curious about how much money the two children had saved. When he took it and took a look, he found that there were only a few hundred yuan in it.
She chuckled, it seemed that these two kids didn't have time to make much money yet.
After laughing, she sighed softly. How ridiculous! A minute ago, she didn't have as much money as these two kids.
Putting the phone under her pillow, thinking that the last two cubs would leave her, Yue Qing warned her again: "Don't show your phone to others casually in the future, especially your wallet."
Little Le'an seemed to understand, but what was clearer to her was that her aunt didn't want her money. She and her brother had been secretly saving it for a long time, and heard that it was enough to buy a lot of bread.
She asked anxiously: "Aunt, aren't you going to buy my brother?"
Yue Qing pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it: "I won't need your money, go to sleep."
The child, who didn't get an answer, looked at her eagerly, as if he was about to cry again.
Yue Qing was silent for a few seconds, and then, somewhat clumsily imitating the way people on TV coax children, patted the quilt twice and said, "He will be back."
[I heard that sick children are hard to comfort, so please don't cry.]
Hearing this, Xiao Le'an hurriedly closed his eyes and held back the tears that had not yet fallen.
Her brother hasn't come back yet, so she must not make her aunt angry.
Yue Qing was a little surprised at how well-behaved the child was. Seeing that the child fell asleep quickly, she waited by the bed until the child's fever subsided before she left with peace of mind.
When she passed by the bathroom, she thought of something and turned back to look in the mirror. When she saw the familiar face she had seen in the past, she felt both amused and sad. The world was finally turned upside down.
But this familiarity also gave her a strange sense of security, allowing her to finally think quietly about what to do next.
Although traveling through a book was an accident, she had been homeless since she was a child and had long been accustomed to living in various environments. It was just that her current living environment was a bit "extreme".
Yue Qing has always felt that as long as he is alive, he will be able to move forward, even if the road ahead is unknown.
This is how she got through the past few years.
She is not good at managing relationships with children, but she is not worried about having a bad relationship with her two children. In the end, they will all return to their biological father and have a stepmother who loves them. She is just a vicious little cannon fodder in the early stage.
She looked around. The four-bedroom, two-living-room house was in a good location, with north-south ventilation. It was much better than her previous small rental house. This was transferred to her name by the original owner's sister in order to entrust the two children, so now at least she didn't have to worry about being kicked out of the house because of being penniless. As for separating in the future, it would be nice for her to earn money to rent a house for herself to live in.
The only thing to do now is to return the money spent by the original owner to the twins in full, and ensure that the two children can stay healthy and wait for their biological father to come back.
But each of these two things is extremely difficult.
She was just an ordinary college graduate. She had never seen so much money, let alone spending it. She had to get it together before the father of the twins was found, and she didn't know where to find a job.
And the other cub has now been sold to someone else by its original owner.
According to the plot of the original book, the original owner did not buy the baby back. Instead, the baby acted crazy and stupid after arriving at the new home, and was rejected by the buyer, so the buyer forcibly returned the baby. The original owner threw a tantrum and accused the buyer of breach of contract, which made the other party agree to return only half of the money.
But this half of the money also made the original owner, who was extravagant, fall into financial difficulties again. It was also because of this that she disliked the two children even more. After learning that the two children went out to earn money by themselves, she tried every means to get money from the two children every day.
Yue Qing let out a breath, realizing that she couldn't wait until the cub was returned, because then the account would be held against her.
There was a sick person in the room, so she couldn't leave for the time being. There was still a week before the baby was returned, so she still had a chance to take the initiative.
Although she had to take the child back, she couldn't be the passive party, otherwise the penalty for breach of contract would be a huge amount.
Before that, she must not touch the money from selling the child, and she also has to find a job that pays quickly to stabilize her life.
I feel a bit jealous. Their two kids can earn hundreds of dollars. I wonder what they do when they go out.
By the evening, the sick child finally woke up. Her fever had subsided and she looked better. Yue Qing wiped her face and found some clothes for her. "I need to go downstairs. Come with me."
Such a young child cannot stay at home alone.
Although he didn't know what to do, his aunt didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything bad again. Xiao Le'an didn't dare to disobey his aunt, so he lowered his head and reached out to put on his clothes obediently.
But after putting them on, Yue Qing couldn't help but frown. Even though she had found the thickest clothes for the child, they still looked a bit thin. The original owner herself had a lot of brand-name clothes.
After rummaging through the closet, Yueqing barely found a suitable scarf and hat for the child, and only then was he satisfied.
Her eyes lit up as she glanced at the luxury goods that she couldn't understand. She was not interested in so many luxury goods owned by the original owner. She could temporarily sell them second-hand, which would at least solve the immediate problem.
Because she is good-looking, she worked as a part-time model when she was in school. She learned how to edit photos by herself and also gained a lot of experience from photographers. In order to experiment, she first found a bag that was not very expensive and carefully took a few pictures with her mobile phone.
When I took my child out, I used the mobile phone software to randomly edit the picture while walking and put it on the second-hand platform according to the search price.
If they can be sold, at least the two children won't go hungry.
Xiao Le'an, who heard the inner voice, looked up in confusion. Is this really his aunt's voice?
My aunt used to only say: All you do is eat all day long. You won’t die if you skip a meal. You’re both a burden.
She pursed her lips, touched her warm hat and scarf, and didn't dare to say anything.
When she gets home, she will secretly send a message to her brother and ask him why.
Her brother is not like her. He is very smart and must know everything.
There was a drizzle outside. When I stepped out of the elevator, the cold air hit me in the face. Yue Qing, a typical southerner, was so cold that he put his hands in his pockets and walked a few steps before he realized something and stopped.
When she turned around, the child was still following her closely. Because his head was wrapped tightly, it was difficult for him to see the ground. With a stiff neck, he was anxious to keep up but also had to be careful not to fall. He looked like a little penguin.
The child was timid and said hurriedly, "Auntie, I'm leaving."
Don't be angry.
Yueqing was a little silent. She was not used to close contact with people, but she could not ignore the child's hard work.
Her fingertips moved in her pocket: "Can I hold your hand?"
It seems like he is asking a child, but also like he is asking himself.
The child's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Yue Qing felt even more uncomfortable, and cut the Gordian knot by reaching out and holding the child's cold little hand.
[How can you hold such a big bowl with such small hands? ]
[It's so cool. I'll buy her a pair of gloves when I have more money.]
Little Le'an watched in a daze as his aunt pulled her sleeves down a little to cover her two hands, one big and one small, and then followed her forward in a daze.
What's wrong? Why does it feel so strange when you're sick?
Arriving at the fresh food supermarket in the community, Yue Qing subconsciously asked: "You..."
She swallowed her words back halfway through. With the little money in her card, she really didn't have the right to ask others what they wanted to eat.
So she changed the subject: "What don't you eat?"
Xiao Le'an shook his head blankly.
[It's pretty easy to support.]
Yue Qing felt better and released his hand: "Walk in front of me, don't run around."
"Okay."
There are only two people at home now, and a child who just fell ill. Yueqing didn't plan to cook any heavy-tasting dishes. She just picked up a handful of vegetables when she found that the child next to her was already looking at her eagerly while holding an empty bag.
Even a little flattering: "Auntie, let me help you, take it together."
Since my aunt likes her, Xiao Le'an should not only let my aunt know that she is easy to raise, but also let my aunt know that she is obedient, so that my aunt will not sell her.
There happened to be a mother nearby with her son crying and asking for snacks. The mother took one look at them and said unhappily, "Look at other people's children. They even help their aunt get vegetables. But when I take you out, you just make a fuss."
Despite saying that, the mother still gave the child a few bags of snacks, picked up the child and left.
After the two walked away, the surroundings became much quieter. Yue Qing carefully observed the child in front of him. The child didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did he ask for anything. It was really reassuring.
Yue Qing recalls that when he was a child, he would squat in front of the convenience store and look at the children who could eat candy with envy.
"What can you take?" She smiled and took out a fifty-cent lollipop and put it in the child's hand, "Take this."
I really can't give more.
On the way home, Yue Qing was carrying something and couldn't hold the child's hand, so she had to slow down her pace. But the child couldn't help but look back after taking two steps. She nervously stretched out her hand, the lollipop still in her hand: "Auntie, you didn't take the candy."
"Yeah." Yue Qing nodded, "Here's some food for you."
Little Le'an blinked, nervously trying to confirm the authenticity: "Can I have candy?"
"Obedient children can have candy." Yue Qing curled her lips and nodded slightly, "Turn around, don't look at me, look at the road."
You can't hold the child's hand, you can only let her walk in front to prevent her from falling or getting lost.
Even when he returned to his warm home and sat on the floor, little Le'an still felt it was unreal and didn't dare to eat the candy.
"Sit on the sofa."
Hearing his aunt's voice, Xiao Le'an looked up blankly.
"From now on, you can't sit on the floor without my permission." Yue Qing pointed to the sofa. "Sofas are for sitting, not for decoration. Got it?"
It sounds a bit fierce, but why aren't you scared at all?
When I reacted, Xiao Le'an was already sitting on the sofa, and my aunt had walked into the kitchen with satisfaction.
In the end, Xiao Le'an didn't eat the candy. Instead, he secretly took out his mobile phone and found his brother. He followed the steps his brother taught him and sent several voice messages in a low voice.
"Brother, I'm sick."
"But my aunt seems to be sick too. She's really strange."
"She hugged me..."
At this moment, little Le Jia, who was in another family, ran into the room immediately after receiving the message from his sister.
The buying couple has gotten used to it. Although the child is good-looking, he is quiet and has a weird personality. He loses his temper for no reason from time to time. They now suspect that they have been cheated by the woman and bought a stupid child.
Little Le Jia closed the door and listened carefully to the message sent by his sister. His chubby face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.
That bad aunt would never do these things. There must be a reason, but the couple doesn't hate him yet, so he can't go back for the time being.
He worriedly instructed: "Don't be fooled by her, wait for your brother."
"Brother, when will you come back?" asked Xiao Le'an from the other end. "I heard what my aunt said in her heart. She wants to take you back."
Little Le Jia was even more suspicious that maybe he had misheard his sister being sick. How could that be possible? That wicked aunt was only too happy to sell her sister as well.
right!
My sister is too stupid and doesn’t understand what the bad aunt is going to do. The bad aunt must want to be nice to my sister and sell her when she is not paying attention!
He became anxious and decided not to let this happen.
Then I can only go back if I go a little further.
He lowered his head and looked at the clean pants he had just changed, his little face full of seriousness.
