Chapter 78 The Child Wakes Up
Cao Liang's mouth twitched as he watched.
His younger brother is such a fool. It's a miracle that the branch store didn't go bankrupt under his leadership.
Cao Ru frowned at her second uncle and said, "Second uncle, are you talking about Xiao Jinglin from the Xiao family?"
Cao Li was unhappy when his niece said this: "How can you call her by her name? She's your cousin from the Xiao family."
"What kind of cousin is she? I only have my cousin Xiao Shujie and my cousin Xiao Shumeng. My aunt said that the eldest branch of the Xiao family is very bad!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Li immediately became furious and said to Cao Liang, "Brother, look at what my younger sister is teaching the children every day. She's not at home taking care of her husband and children, but she's also messing with her parents' family!"
Although Cao Liang looked down on Cao Li for being stupid, he was right. Cao Fang was becoming more and more excessive. No matter what he taught her daughter, the key was that her daughter listened to him.
Cao Liang said angrily, "Cao Ru, don't listen to your aunt. She can't even make ends meet herself, so what can she teach you? Stay out of the adults' business!"
Cao Ru is about to get married now. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with what her aunt said. She just feels that her father and second uncle are men and cannot understand the suffering they face as women.
She replied, "Dad, aunt is right. We are the Cao family. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family bullies aunt all the time. Why should we care about those annoying people?"
Cao Liang was furious. Business people like him hated making enemies the most. Cao Fang had been doting and arrogant since she was a child, and now she wanted to lead his daughter astray!
He said sternly, "Cao Ru, don't listen to your aunt in the future. You don't like the Xiao family, but don't forget that your aunt is also a member of the Xiao family now. Go back and think about it carefully!"
Because Cao Ru was Cao Liang's first daughter, she was usually very much liked by Cao Liang. She was really embarrassed to be scolded in public today. She glared at her father and ran away angrily. The maid hurriedly followed her to persuade her.
Cao Li also felt that Cao Ru needed to be disciplined, but he ignored her and said to Cao Ling and the other children with a smile, "Try it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
When nine-year-old Cao Ling heard there was food, he immediately ran over and shouted, "Second Uncle, what's delicious? Ling'er wants to eat it!"
Cao Lei pulled his brother and said, "Be careful not to fall."
"Wow, Daddy, this is delicious!"
Cao Li's five-year-old son Cao Wu was surprised.
Cao Li saw his son took out his favorite egg tarts and said, "You are just like me and your father. We like the same flavors. Come and let Dad have a bite!"
Little Cao Wu fed Cao Li with the egg tart.
As soon as Cao Li took a bite, he felt that their Cao family pastry shop was in crisis.
When he had eaten everything, he felt that his shop was finished.
Cao Liang was also confused at this moment.
Cao Li said blankly: "Brother, is our family going to be finished?"
Cao Liang didn't say anything because he didn't know either.
He didn't expect that the sudden emergence of Youran Desserts was so powerful that it left the Cao family with no room to fight back.
Xie Shuangbai was very panicked at this moment. He glanced at the big guy who still looked calm.
He is now on his way back to Xiaoshi Village.
He originally planned to wait until the three-day activity at Youranju was over before returning to the village to see his children.
Before he went out, he asked Old Man Li to help take care of the child for three days.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang came this morning. Xie Shuangbai had just sent them back yesterday, but he rushed here this morning. Something must have happened. Sure enough, Uncle Wang said that the child woke up but was not in good condition.
Xie Shuangbai took Rong Ye back to the village without saying a word.
He felt a little guilty. If he had brought the child with him from the beginning, it would have been better. He would have been injured like that, and he would have been scared when he woke up and his father was not around.
But it’s useless to say these things now, I can only go back to the village quickly.
As soon as I arrived at Old Man Li’s house, I heard a child crying inside.
"Daddy, I want daddy, daddy..." The hoarse cry of the child is heartbreaking.
Xie Shuangbai walked quickly into the room and saw a pale baby on the bed, crying at the top of his lungs, and no one could get close to him.
He felt distressed when he saw it, so he walked over slowly and said softly:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your father is here!"
When Rong Ye saw Rong Chi, his brain reacted for a moment and his expression became nervous. Seeing the child's red eyes from crying, he felt distressed. He walked forward, hugged him and comforted him, "Chi'er, Daddy is here!"
Rong Chi paused, then nervously grabbed Rong Ye's arm and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, Chi'er is scared, Chi'er is scared!"
Rong Ye hugged him tightly and comforted him, "Chi'er, your father is here, don't be afraid!"
Perhaps he heard a familiar voice, or perhaps he smelled a familiar smell, and he slowly stopped being restless.
He huddled in Rongye's arms, crying out in grievance, "Daddy, Chi'er can't see Daddy anymore, wuwuwuwu!"
Xie Shuangbai didn't expect the child to be blind, and asked anxiously, "Uncle Li, is the child blind because of the toxin?"
Old man Li stroked his dwindling beard and said, "After the child woke up, I noticed something was wrong with his eyes. Upon checking, I found a blood clot behind his head. I guess it was that clot."
Old Man Li glanced at Xie Shuangbai and advised, "Don't worry, the swelling isn't serious and will go away in a while."
Xie Shuangbai saw that Old Man Li was also suffering from the child's torment, and he felt bad. "Uncle Li, I'm sorry to trouble you. You can come to my place and make you a delicious meal another day. I'll take the child away today, you can rest up!"
Old Man Li was indeed tired of the child's noise. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you'd better take the child to the town or county to have another look."
"Uncle Li, I understand. This is the consultation fee, you must accept it!"
Xie Shuangbai put down 10 taels of silver.
Old man Li took half without saying a word, pointed at the other half and said to Xie Shuangbai, "You can take back the extra."
Xie Shuangbai knew Old Man Li's temper, so he took the remaining money without hesitation. He knew that if he didn't take it, he would definitely not be able to leave today.
Xie Shuangbai took Rong Ye and the child back to the old house.
The house is very quiet now, and the three younger sisters are busy working in the shops in town.
Xie Shuangbai was also very tired. There were already a lot of things to do for the opening of the business in the past two days, and he had to rush back early in the morning. He had not yet recovered from the bumpy journey.
Rong Ye is definitely not the one who can cook, the children can't live without him, and he can't cook anyway.
Rongye held the child in his arms. He didn't make a fuss, but it was obvious that he was still very nervous and scared.
Xie Shuangbai understood that being in an unfamiliar environment and being blind would definitely make one panic.
He rested for a while, washed his face, and lit the kang again. He said to Rong Ye, "Don't worry about the child's eyes. Uncle Li said the blood clot will go away in a couple of days. Let's go check it out tomorrow. The child must be hungry, so let's have a simple meal tonight."
He entered the kitchen and went straight into the space to cook eight-treasure porridge and dandan noodles.
In just a quarter of an hour, he came into the house carrying hot noodles and fragrant eight-treasure porridge.
Just as Xie Shuangbai was about to call them to eat, Rong Chi in Rong Ye's arms also smelled the fragrance and said in a soft voice, "Daddy, Chi'er is hungry."
Xie Shuangbai also laughed when he heard his words: "Guess what delicious food uncle made?"
