Chapter 184: Crying
Yue Niang opened her mouth and criticized Song Xiaer for her habit of crying at the slightest provocation.
She didn't coax or scold anyone.
She had tried to coax her before, but Song Xiaer was the type who would cry louder the more she coaxed her.
She originally wanted to help Song Xiaer change her habit of crying at every turn. Since coaxing her didn't work, she decided to try another method.
However, after she said that, Song Xiaer still didn't react at all and continued to stand there crying.
He was twitching and feeling very aggrieved.
Yue Niang is so confused.
I never realized that this little girl was so fond of crying before.
This was her first time being a mother, and Fugui'er had only been with her for a few months. How could she coax a little girl?
Moreover, this child is stubborn and won't listen to anything, which is really a headache.
If I had known that this little girl would not listen to anyone or take any advice, and would cry endlessly once she started, her tears would have kept falling, and I wouldn't know how many tears there were.
After saying that, Song Xiaer was still crying, so Yue Niang put on a stern face and went to get the wooden barrel herself.
"Just stand here and cry. If you want to cry, don't stop." She said coldly.
After she finished speaking, she came out with the wooden bucket and saw Shen Yitian still there. She said in embarrassment, "I really don't know how to take care of this child."
She sighed, feeling torn between holding the barrel.
When Shen Yitian saw Song Xiaer looking at her while crying, her brows furrowed even more.
Yue Niang wanted to apologize. After all, Shen Yitian had asked her to raise the child, and she had no ability to discipline him...
But Shen Yitian didn't give her the chance to continue speaking.
"It's true that I asked you to raise her, but you also have the right to choose. If you really can't raise her, I won't force you."
If she doesn't have the confidence to teach a child who cries easily and refuses to communicate, how can she expect others to raise the child well?
She spoke this in a loud voice. Yue Niang heard it, Fuguier heard it, and of course Song Xiaer on the other side heard it as well.
Song Xiaer looked at Shen Yitian in panic, still crying.
Fuguier became anxious. He immediately ran to Shen Yitian and pulled the corner of Shen Yitian's clothes.
"Sister Shen, Sister Shen, what do you mean you can't support her? Xia'er eats very little, and we have enough food at home."
"She always cries. She's so pitiful. Mom, we can support her, right?"
The little boy rarely showed panic.
Shen Yitian rarely slapped him on the head, but instead reached out and pried open his hand that was holding the corner of her clothes.
"Fugui'er, don't forget that your mother has no obligation to support you. In other words, if she feels that she can't support you, she doesn't have to."
She was not born and raised in this world. In her opinion, women have no obligation to raise children for their husbands and their concubines.
Yue Niang is willing to raise the child because she is kind.
She asked Yue Niang to raise Xia'er simply because she saw that the child was targeted by Mai Dong and she was afraid that Xia'er would suffer if Mai Dong took her away.
However, she was raised by someone and could only cry, and no one could help her.
"But..." Fuguier still wanted to fight for Song Xiaer's favor.
But when he saw Yue Niang's gloomy face, he suddenly shut up.
Yes, Yue Niang is not his biological mother, he knows that.
He also knew what Yue Niang's attitude was when he first followed her.
During this period, Yue Niang's attitude towards him softened a lot, and the relationship between mother and son also improved a lot.
However, this cannot change the fact that he is not Yue Niang's biological son.
He also knew from Yue Niang's previous words that she was not willing to support him...
"Mom, go fetch some water. I'll move the clothes over." He lowered his head and said nothing more.
On the other side, Song Xiaer's eyes became even more flustered.
She looked helplessly at Shen Yitian and then at Fuguier, hoping that they could say a few more words for her.
But no one paid any attention to her.
Yue Niang went to fetch water, Fugui'er put the clothes into the wooden basin, and Shen Yitian and Shengsheng walked to the chair next to Fugui'er and sat down.
This place is close to the eaves and there is no sun, so it is a good place to cool off.
Seeing Fuguier working silently with his head down, Shen Yitian pursed her lips and patted him on the shoulder.
"Boy, have you eaten all the fish your mother brought back yesterday?" she asked.
Fuguier thought he had made Yue Niang and Shen Yitian angry, and was in a depressed mood.
When he heard Shen Yitian talking to him, his eyes lit up again.
"Yesterday's fish was delicious! Xia'er and I ate a lot, and mom ate a lot too." Fuguier said excitedly.
Then he continued, "Sister Daya came over yesterday, but my mother said it was inconvenient for her to open the door, so she didn't let Sister Daya in."
Shen Yitian hummed: "Daya? Are you coming tonight?"
Shengsheng had already brewed some tea and placed it next to Shen Yitian's hand. After hearing what Fuguier said, she was also a little curious.
Doesn’t Daya’s family have a good relationship with Yue Niang’s family? Why wouldn’t they let them in?
Is there something else they don’t know about?
"Fugui'er, what happened?" Seeing that he had put all the clothes away, Shen Yitian simply pulled the child over and asked.
Song Xiaer was still sobbing over there, but except for Shengsheng who occasionally glanced at her, Fuguier and Shen Yitian were busy talking and no one looked in her direction.
The sobbing little girl found that no one was looking at her. She didn't know whether to cry or not. She looked around, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Fuguier leaned close to Shen Yitian's ear and whispered, "Last time, Sister Daya came over and ate up all the food at home, which made Xiaer cry all night."
Shen Yitian raised her eyebrows and glanced at Song Xiaer who was still crying without any expression.
"Didn't you eat enough and cried all night?" she asked with a headache.
Why does she feel inexplicably guilty about handing over such a crying little girl to Yue Niang?
"Well, she must be hungry. My mother and I had reserved the food for her, but who knew that Sister Daya would come over." Before Fuguier said this, he did not forget to make up for her.
"What else did your sister Daya say?" Shen Yitian asked.
She always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Yue Niang is not such a heartless person that she would become estranged from Daya just because of a bowl of rice.
Fuguier thought about it and repeated what Daya said yesterday. He didn't repeat it completely, but just said it roughly. That was the meaning.
Shen Yitian laughed after hearing this, and she said that Yue Niang would not follow someone else for no reason.
This person seems to have a cold face, but he is actually a warm-hearted person, otherwise he would not have reminded himself that Song Yuerong was doing something bad.
It seemed that Daya's words made her wary, and she was afraid that Daya's mother would come to plead for mercy and ask her to say a few good words.
After asking these questions, Yue Niang had already returned from fetching water.
Song Xiaer, who had almost stopped crying, glanced at herself when she saw her enter the yard and immediately started sobbing again.
She seemed to be really wronged, sobbing endlessly.
Shen Yitian was very upset after hearing this, so she said indifferently: "If you want to cry, can you go somewhere where there is no one and come back after you're done crying?"
