Although Tian Congbao is still young, he tries his best to control his emotions, for fear of causing trouble to Wang Xu and Gu Xi. The carefree little kid seems to have grown up in an instant now that he has lost his mother's support.
Gu Xi touched Tian Congbao's head. Although Yao Cuilian was a bad person with many shortcomings, she had educated her son very well. It might also be that Tian Congbao was able to stay clean despite being untainted by the mud.
Wang Xu spoke coldly and had a stern face, showing no human touch, but he cooked the braised pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Tian Congbao liked.
Gu Xi saw through it but didn't say anything. However, Tian Congbao had lost his appetite because of something unexpected happening at home. He was in a daze and was always in a state of panic. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would run to Wang Xu or Gu Xi in fear.
The police arrived two hours later and spent a lot of time questioning me. They were busy until very late before they left.
Tian Wangdi also came back from the hospital very late. She stood alone in the yard. She was not as nervous as she was during the day, but when night fell she realized how particularly lonely she felt.
Tian Wangdi knocked on Wang Xu's door. Gu Xi opened the door. Tian Congbao leaned against Wang Xu, who looked disgusted.
When Tian Congbao saw his sister, he no longer had the familiarity he had in the past, and his eyes were a little distant.
Tian Wangdi was not at all naive of a 15-year-old girl, and she got straight to the point: "My mother told me not to look for Congbao anymore, does that mean you will take care of him?"
Tian Congbao's eyes became even duller as he looked at her, and finally he simply stopped looking at her. He lowered his head and held Wang Xu's hand. Only Wang Xu could feel the sweat on his palms from nervousness.
Gu Xi saw Tian Wangdi coming in and just glanced at Tian Congbao: "Can you manage it?"
Tian Wangdi didn't even think about it: "No, I am homeless now. My husband is in the hospital and his life is uncertain, but he promised to keep the marriage. He will not break his promise."
Gu Xi glanced at Wang Xu and Tian Congbao beside him, and said, "Well, we will take care of him then."
Tian Wangdi nodded and said, "He has you to take care of him. To be frank, his future life will definitely be better than now. I am just a little girl, and I don't know what kind of life I will live after I get married. I hope that all the money in the family can be given to me as a kind of guarantee for me. I will not come back in the future, and I don't want this house or the things anymore."
Gu Xi looked at her and recalled the girl who had just arrived in Qingmiao Village and helped her burn firewood and heat the kang. She felt particularly sorry: "If you choose not to get married, we can still take care of you. You have good grades and you finally have the opportunity to study. Qingmiao Village is getting better and better. You..."
Tian Wangdi interrupted Gu Xi and said, "Gu Zhiqing, it's useless. I have already had sex with him. I just checked and found that we are pregnant. He is useless now. This child is the only heir to his family. I will definitely live a good life with this child.
In the end, studying still depends on your own efforts. I have worked hard for fifteen years. I have had enough of working to live a good life since I was young. Since there is a shortcut, I want to take it. Anyway, there is no way out. "
Gu Xi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She already had a child, so it would be redundant to say anything more.
Wang Xu was silent the whole time, and suddenly spoke: "Gu Xi, can you accompany her to the next door to pack her things? Will she be scared?"
Gu Xi shook her head. She had died once before, so she was indifferent to life and death. "It's okay. I'll go with her to clean up."
Wang Xu looked down at Congbao. The little guy lowered his head, looking stubborn. Only his slightly trembling hands and uncontrollable eyes betrayed him. After all, he was just a half-grown child, so there was no way he could hide anything.
"Tian Congbao, have you finished your homework? Doing homework can help you forget about your pain. Go get your homework and do it."
Tian Congbao. . . . . .
Gu Xi. . . . . Wang Xu, are you a devil?
Tian Wangdi turned the house upside down, and Yao Cuilian saved a total of more than 900 yuan, plus the 500 yuan given by Jia Xin and a radio.
Tian Guodong also hid a lady's gold bracelet with a Wang engraved on the inside. Gu Xi guessed that it probably belonged to Wang Xu's mother. The bracelet was very heavy, so she discussed it with Tian Wangdi and bought it for two hundred yuan.
After packing up her clothes, Gu Xi asked her to sleep at her house tonight. No one could live in the house until it was cleaned.
As long as it was Gu Xi's decision, Wang Xu had no objection, not to mention that the affairs of the previous generation were all settled because of life and death.
Because Tian Wangdi was pregnant, Gu Xi asked Wang Xu to fry an egg for her. She also went to the village to buy an old hen from her aunt and made some soup to nourish her body.
Tian Wangdi drank the chicken soup and her tears fell into the soup. She felt that her tears were a little salty: "Your future children will definitely be very happy, and Congbao will also be very happy in the future."
Gu Xi saw her crying: "Happiness should be followed by the word perfect. Now that we have lost our home, we can only try our best to take good care of him. You can do the same, but you chose a different path."
Tian Wangdi didn't respond and continued to drink the chicken soup: "My mother told me not to look for Congbao anymore. I know what she means. She doesn't think I will have a good life in the future. She is afraid that I will drag Congbao down.
I used to envy Congbao. I always thought he was the happiest child. Until a while ago, when he was hospitalized, my father didn't care and didn't want to pay. Later, Jia Xin, my father was the first to know about it, but he took the money and didn't care. He even helped to keep watch. I suddenly felt that Congbao was more pitiful than me.
At least I had already seen through my parents' true colors and had no hope. He was still immersed in the illusion of his parents' favor. Haha, Tian Guodong was originally going to marry me to the son of a bricklayer from the next village, who had one hand missing and was ugly, but his family was well-off.
Since I have to get married anyway, I'd better make my own choice. I think it's not bad now. My mother did take care of me before she died. "
As Tian Congbao listened, tears streamed down his face. Finally, he put down his chopsticks, ran back into the house and closed the door.
Gu Xi sighed: "I don't have anything to advise you. I have given you a choice before. I hope you will be successful in the future. People often say that there are no bad parents in the world. I think it is not true. There are always some people who are not worthy of being parents. Although Yao Cuilian repented, it was too late.
In the future, you should raise your children well and let them grow up. This is what you should do. I have always felt that learning is very important. It can help people understand many truths. If you have free time, don’t waste it on studying. "
After washing up at night, Gu Xi lay in Wang Xu's arms: "How are you? Even though he's a scumbag, he's still your father after all."
Wang Xu leaned his head against Gu Xi's head. "When I first saw the corpse, I couldn't describe my feelings. My emotions were very complicated, but then it was nothing. In any case, it has nothing to do with me. It's not as uncomfortable as the dreams I had before.
As for Congbao, taking care of a child is a huge responsibility, and I don’t know if we can shoulder this responsibility. "
Gu Xi: "I actually have no experience in taking care of children, and I didn't even like children that much before, but Congbao is also a kind of fate, so let it go and take care of him like this for now. You will be taking care of children in the future, so this is a good opportunity for me to practice."
