The dinner was very lively, starting in the evening and not ending until after seven o'clock.
Xue Ling was a little tired, but she still had the energy to chat with her in-laws and mother-in-law. She also chatted with Chen Min and Wang Qing for a long time. It wasn't until the guests were almost gone that she returned to the room tiredly.
Cheng Tianyuan was very drunk, but he still insisted on sending his father-in-law and mother-in-law back to their room to rest. He drank another half a bowl of sobering tea and took a hot bath. He didn't dare to go to bed until the smell of alcohol had dissipated from his body.
Xue Ling was still not asleep, so she turned sideways and snuggled up.
Cheng Tianyuan naturally hugged her and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?
too tired?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "My head hurts and I can't sleep."
Cheng Tianyuan gently rubbed her forehead and temples, and whispered: "Xiaoxin is back. I just went to the room to rest.
Ah Qing will also stay tonight, in the third child's room, and there is no separate room arranged for him.
Ran Ran and An An went out again after eating, but they haven't come back yet.
Yangyang said he would use the family’s big car tomorrow, and he would take a few children to go out with his in-laws.”
"Okay, okay."
Xue Ling smiled fondly: "Let them do whatever they want."
The lights in the room were dim, but Cheng Tianyuan could guess that she looked very unhappy without even seeing her.
"The past ten days have been very hard, haven't they?
I have lost some weight, and my face is pale and haggard."
Xue Ling sighed lowly: "I'm sad and can't eat.
The food there tastes very different from ours, and I’m not used to it.
I feel restless and not in the mood to go out and find something I like to eat.
I didn't eat well and was mentally exhausted, so I lost weight.
It’s okay, you can recover after going home for a while.”
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "When will Sister Chen be discharged from the hospital?"
"about there."
Xue Ling replied: "Shan Yue's situation is better than hers, and he has always been by his side to take care of her.
Old couples and old wives keep company, and from now on they will be the only two old guys left to walk hand in hand."
Cheng Tianyuan subconsciously asked: "That child... what are they planning?"
"They plan to hire a nanny to help raise her at home."
Xue Ling whispered: "However, I think 80% of the time I can't defend it."
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "The other party's family has been pestering you?"
"yes."
Xue Ling whispered: "That man lives and drinks all day long, and there are many women around him, but now he only has one son.
Although he was imprisoned, most of his family members are fine.
His lawyer and his old mother went to the hospital frequently, always saying that they wanted to take the child back to raise him.
Shanyue stopped him from taking a paternity test, saying that he was just Shanyou's child, their grandson.
However, they are now weak and will soon be unable to protect the child."
"oh?"
Cheng Tianyuan sneered: "You want a child so much, but you can even push down a woman who is pregnant with his child - it's so unconscionable!"
Xue Ling replied: "At that time, he thought that he would continue to be famous, thinking that he might have many, many children.
Never thought that he would turn around and become a prisoner, and that he would never have the chance to see the light of day again.
Because of this, his old mother would rush to the hospital all day long to snatch the child."
"How's the kid doing?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked.
Xue Ling whispered: "Although it was a little premature, it's nothing serious.
His facial features are very handsome, very similar to those of a small tiger and a mini tiger.
Shanyue and Sister Chen were thinking about that child, so they had to grit their teeth and hold on."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but worry: "What if the child is robbed, then they...have nothing to hope for?"
"They don't have the energy to take care of that child anymore."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I can keep it as long as I can.
In addition, I don’t think the child’s grandmother is that unreasonable person. She is always polite to Shanyue and Sister Chen, and she always apologizes.
She also said that she had already decided to let Shan You enter their family tree, and also set up a memorial tablet for Shan You in their ancestral hall."
"I don't even have a marriage certificate."
Cheng Tianyuan sneered: "If the people are gone, what's the use of doing all this!"
Xue Ling whispered: "The soil and water support the people.
Strangely enough, people over there seem to value this very much.
The child's uncle said that this means that Shanyou is recognized by their family as their daughter-in-law, and future generations will worship her and offer incense to her.
After hearing this, Shanyue and Sister Chen became less hostile towards their family and were willing to let the child's grandmother take a look at the child."
"I see."
Cheng Tianyuan asked again: "But they still want to take custody of the child?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "At first, I said I wanted to rob him, but then the child's grandmother changed her mind and said we would raise her together.
But I can see that this is just a delaying strategy.
Once Shan Yue and Sister Chen calm down, they will find an opportunity to take the child away.
In addition, Sister Chen's body... I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for long.
Raising a child requires more than a day or two. The two of them are in poor health and have ordinary financial resources, so there is nothing they can do."
Cheng Tianyuan paused while massaging his hand and asked: "How long can it last?
Sister Chen’s health...is already that bad?”
"After Shanyou disappeared, she almost followed him."
Xue Ling explained: "The doctor said that her physical condition is very bad and she may not be able to survive for long.
She was almost killed that year and couldn't stop taking medicine after that.
My body has been severely damaged... and I can no longer live long."
After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan was silent for a moment.
Then, he said: "Ahu had vague thoughts before and said he didn't know whether to adopt the child.
He said it was for Shan You's sake.
I advised him not to be too troublesome and let Xiao Huzi make his own arrangements.
Raising a child is no small matter, and the child’s life experience is too complicated.”
"You really can't be too troublesome."
Xue Ling whispered: "The child's father has many relatives, so it's not easy to interfere.
In addition, no matter how magnanimous the little tiger is, it is impossible to accept other people's children.
The matter between him and Shan You is in the past tense, and this kind of thing cannot be mentioned."
After a pause, she added: "It is precisely because Sister Chen's body cannot survive for long, and the other relatives of the child have been pestering me, I also advise Shanyue and the others to keep it away.
Man.
Taking care of someone close to you is more appropriate than outsiders."
As soon as the child was born, his biological mother died and his father was imprisoned for breaking the law.
Children are very pitiful. If they have no blood relatives to take care of them, they will be helpless and lonely, which will only make them even more pitiful.
Cheng Tianyuan sighed lowly: "It's all bad luck..." Xue Ling held his hand and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
“Having lived for most of my life, I have met all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of things.
Only the education of children makes me feel that we must be cautious and top priority.
A person's life is closely related to his childhood education and family environment.
If it is missing or wrong, it will seriously lead to misfortune in the child’s life.”
