Chapter 379 It's alright, I'm here.
But when she actually saw him, she was shocked to realize that Tingyun's kindness to Guaibao far exceeded her expectations.
Jiang Manyun laughed and said, "This brat is treating my little darling like his own sister. Who can blame him when she's so fair-skinned and adorable?"
She accepted it quickly, after all, she had already been shocked once when she found out that Tingyun had taken a nap on Guaibao's bed.
She knew her son's temperament perfectly well; he absolutely disliked staying overnight at other people's houses, let alone sleeping in other people's beds, and had a whole host of minor quirks.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of guilt and heartache.
It's all because his parents weren't there for him when he was young that he became so indifferent.
Fortunately, he is still young and now has good friends to play with, so he is slowly getting better.
Song Wenwen nodded: "I also really like this child, Guaibao. She's confident, generous, and has a sweet tongue. She's made Dad laugh several times since yesterday. I didn't expect people here to be so good at raising children."
Jiang Manyun shook her head and said, "I've only seen one such well-behaved and lovable child since I came here. But Aunt Chen has indeed raised Guabao very well. None of the other children in the commune are as fair-skinned, chubby, and cute as Guabao. Otherwise, Tingyun wouldn't have said she wanted to bring Guabao back as her little sister when we first met."
She can't help but chuckle when she recalls her son's earnest words about bringing their little sister home.
That was the first time her son had so directly and clearly expressed what he wanted to her.
Unfortunately, she, as his mother, was unable to meet his demands.
Unlike other older generations who favor sons over daughters, Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen doted on their precious child.
Song Wenwen imagined the scene and couldn't help but laugh, "This really doesn't sound like something Gu Ting would say. You absolutely mustn't tell Siyu about this, or she might really cry her heart out for two days."
If her daughter knew about this, she'd probably cry herself blind.
Jiang Manyun knew how much her little niece liked her son, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them went inside for a midday rest, and the whole house became quiet.

Just as the Chen family entered the courtyard, Ma Xiulian shouted towards the direction of the third branch of the family, "Third son's wife, come out here!"
Li Chunhua, who was already in bed, panicked when she heard her mother-in-law's unpleasant tone. She said to Chen Jianye, who was beside her, "Honey, just tell her I'm already asleep."
If they went out like this, would they even get a good deal?!
She's not that stupid to run out and get scolded in the middle of a storm.
Chen Jianye called out in a muffled voice, "Mom, she's asleep."
I had a vague idea of why Mom was so angry. Who else could it be for besides my precious baby?
Li Chunhua listened intently to the sounds outside, fearing that her mother-in-law would continue her tirade.
After waiting a while and hearing no sound, I breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second—
"Bang!"
Ma Xiulian kicked the door open and stood there coldly looking at her: "Come out!"
After saying that, Ma Xiulian turned and walked into the main room.
Li Chunhua reluctantly put on her clothes. Seeing her mother-in-law's attitude, she had a bad feeling: "Honey, why is Mom so angry?"
All she wanted was for Jinbao to get some exposure in front of the Gu family. Was it really necessary for her to get so angry with her?
Jianye comforted him, saying, "It's alright, I'm here."
I'll update another 5,000 words around 6 PM during the day.
