817: Not at the right time
Changning held his mother's left hand and his father's right hand. He walked between his parents, as happy as a little bird.
Yu Zhengxian smiled at Chen Ci, held his son's hand tightly, and felt very happy.
Chen Ci's face looked unnatural and she wanted to break free, but her son's little hand was holding her tightly. She couldn't bear to push him away and had to let her son hold her.
The three of them looked like a normal family of three, walking on the street in front of the textile factory.
Chen Ci deliberately ignored the embarrassment and asked his son:
"Does Changning's neck still hurt?"
"Grandma applied some medicine on me and gave me some boiled eggs. The pain is gone now."
"Then go to kindergarten tomorrow. You can't play at home all the time."
"Mom, can I not go? I want to play with Dad at home."
Chen Ci sighed helplessly. She had never seen a son so clingy to his father.
——I have never seen such a father and son.
Yu Zhengxian understood what Chen Ci meant from her tone, and he didn't want to make Chen Ci unhappy.
To him, his son is the most important.
However, in front of Shen Ci, this situation quietly changed. The son seemed less important and had to move a little further back.
He bowed his head and advised his son:
"Son, how about I take you to kindergarten tomorrow? I don't even know where your kindergarten is. Can you take me there to find it?"
"Okay! Dad will take me to kindergarten tomorrow!"
Chen Ci: “——”
Yu Zhengxian touched Changning's head with his other hand:
"Good son."
Then he quietly looked at Chen Ci's face and saw that Chen Ci's face was still not very good-looking, but not that ugly. Yu Zhengxian really couldn't figure out Chen Ci's thoughts, but no matter what, as long as Chen Ci didn't cry, make a fuss or get angry, it would be a sunny day for him.
Changning skipped and jumped as he followed his parents out of the textile factory and turned into the street in front of the door.
As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I suddenly saw Yu Xiaoye standing on the street looking over here, obviously waiting for Chen Ci to get off work. Yu Xiaoye said last night that he would come to see Chen Ci today, so he specially left get out of class early and took the bus here.
Yu Xiaoye saw the family of three walking hand in hand on the road, and his eyes widened instantly: "Huh?!"
What's going on?
Did she come at the wrong time?
Chang Ning saw Yu Xiaoye and shouted:
"aunt!"
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help laughing when he saw the family of three holding hands. The eldest brother was really capable. He was originally worried that Chen Ci would not forgive him after seeing him, but today he indirectly held hands with him.
Although this should be done for the child's sake, at least it can still be done for the child's sake.
However, when she saw Yu Xiaoye appear, Chen Ci immediately let go of her son's hand.
Yu Xiaoye walked over with a smile and asked deliberately:
"Changning, are you coming with Dad to pick up Mom from get off work?"
"Yes, my father said—"
Yu Zhengxian covered his son's mouth:
"Okay, Changning, Auntie knows, you don't need to say anything more."
Changning: “——” I haven’t said anything yet!
Seeing her brother's nervous expression, Yu Xiaoye guessed something. Suddenly, she noticed a red mark under Changning's neck and asked:
"What happened to Changning's neck?"
Yu Zhengxian and Chen Ci didn't know how to answer.
Looking at the reactions of the two, Yu Xiaoye guessed something:
"It can't be him——"
Yu Zhengxian nodded:
"It's him, his last name is Li."
"How could he do this to a child?!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. It's annoying."
Changning pulled away his father's big hand and angrily told his aunt:
"Aunt, this morning, my mom went to make soy milk, and my grandpa went to the park to exercise. A bad guy came to our house and pinched my neck. It hurt so much, but my dad came and beat him up. Then he was arrested by the police. Humph, when I grow up, I want to be a police officer and catch bad guys!"
Yu Xiaoye looked at her elder brother with a questioning look, and her elder brother nodded slightly at her, meaning that what Changning said was true.
Yu Xiaoye squatted down and touched Changning's face:
"Then you must eat well and grow up quickly. Our Changning will definitely become the bravest man!"
"Um!"
Yu Xiaoye stood up. Although he was worried about his nephew's situation, he didn't want to ruin the time the three of them had together.
"I might not be here at the right time. Why don't you guys go shopping first? I'll go home and see you tomorrow."
Chen Ci knew that Yu Xiaoye had come to see her specially because he must have something to say:
"No, I'm just going home from get off work, and there's nothing much to do. How about we take Changning to the nearby park to play on the swings?"
"Okay, I like swinging. Mom and Dad, come quickly."
Changning held up his father with one hand and his mother with the other, dragging them forward.
Chen Ci didn't want Yu Xiaoye to misunderstand, so she tried to break free from her son's hand, but her son immediately grabbed it again. Seeing her son's happy look, Chen Ci couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to let him continue to hold her hand.
Arriving at the park, Chen Ci said to his son:
"You and Dad go line up and play on the swings first, while Mom and Auntie talk for a few minutes, okay?"
"Okay, come on, Dad, let's go play."
"Walk!"
The father and son ran towards the swing happily.
Yu Xiaoye and Shen Ci sat on a park bench. Shen Ci sighed and said with a face full of self-blame:
"I shouldn't have left Changning alone at home. I don't dare to think what would have happened to Changning if your eldest brother hadn't shown up."
Thinking of her son being strangled and frightened in the morning, Chen Ci couldn't help but choke up.
Seeing Chen Ci's expression, Yu Xiaoye probably knew that Chen Ci was very interested in Li Xinchun.
What is her attitude? But she still asked clearly:
"Chen Ci, didn't you know in advance that Li Xinchun was released from prison?"
"I don't know. I'd forgotten that it was time for him to be released from prison. Over the years, I'd almost forgotten about him. I never thought he would come looking for me."
"He knew your address before?"
"I know. I once wrote him a letter in the capital, before he was sent to labor camp—" Chen Ci looked regretful.
"Chen Ci, don't blame me for being nosy. Is there no possibility between you and Li Xinchun?"
"No way, never. Just for how he treated Changning this morning, I will never forgive him! I can't imagine that he would do such a cruel thing to my son!"
Chen Ci restrained her anger, but tears still couldn't stop falling.
Hearing Chen Ci say this, Yu Xiaoye had an idea in her mind. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Chen Ci.
Chen Ci took a handkerchief, rubbed her eyes, and wiped away the tears.
Yu Xiaoye looked up at the father and son again, and saw Yu Zhengxian pushing Changning on the swing, looking over here from time to time. Perhaps he saw Chen Ci crying, and his face seemed a little worried.
Yu Xiaoye had never dared to think that the villain brother could get Shen Ci's forgiveness and get together with Shen Ci, but now, Li Xinchun came to cause trouble for the mother and son. If he let it go, he was afraid that Li Xinchun would come to harass him again in the future. By then, the Shen family would definitely not have peace, and his nephew would also be in danger.
So for now, it would be better to let the eldest brother take charge of taking care of the mother and son.
