When Xu Zhiyi heard about Qiao Qiao's situation, she felt heartbroken and instinctively caressed her slightly bulging belly.
She has been getting regular prenatal check-ups and the baby is developing normally. Just after four months, she can sometimes feel slight fetal movement.
It's really amazing.
As long as Octavia doesn't go on business trips, he will lie on her belly and listen to the baby's heartbeat when he has time. It's hard to love her too much.
At this time, the two of them would look at each other, smile, and say childish words to the baby in their belly, as silly as they wanted.
The two people's hearts became softer and softer.
Before she got pregnant, she never paid attention to anyone's children. Since becoming pregnant, she has always been interested in anything related to children, intentionally or unintentionally.
Maybe it’s the nature of being a mother soon.
She could understand Xiaowo's concerns, but she felt that it wasn't the point at all.
Since living with Ming's elders, her thoughts and feelings are completely different.
She finally realized a fact.
As soon as you get married, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, as long as one of your immediate family members is involved, you have no choice at all other than choosing how to get along.
Because they are there alive.
Nothing can separate the one who gave birth to you and the one who gave birth to you.
Xu Zhiyi asked Xiaowo a question, and Xiaowo instantly became clear.
She asked: "Xiaowo, it's a bad thing to say, but it's something you will face sooner or later.
If in a few years, the pretty grandparents leave, who do you want Wang Yue to throw her to?
You are Wang Yue's wife. We are one husband and wife. Please help him arrange it. Who should I give it to? "
Xiaowo's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, it's a matter of time.
At this moment, she suddenly realized.
It turns out that no matter what Wang Yue promised her before marriage, from the moment she married him, Qiaoqiao was a hurdle she could never overcome.
Because she is her husband's daughter, her biological daughter.
The blood relationship was there and she couldn't avoid it at all.
Qiaoqiao's problem is not at all a question of whether she wants her to live with her, but that she must live together.
It's just a matter of sooner or later.
"Xiaowo, you are smarter than me. You should know that you always have to face what you have to face. However, you have to consider now whether to face it proactively and early, or passively accept it later. No one can do this for you. Lord, you have to make your own decision, after all, it’s your life that you live.”
This sentence was not what Xu Zhiyi said to himself.
Just like her relationship with the elders of Ming Dynasty.
Although she did not take the initiative to deal with this relationship, and was even a little scared, she had to get closer to them because of the bond of pregnancy.
As they gradually moved closer, she suddenly realized that this relationship would have to be resolved sooner or later.
In this case, why not take the initiative when you have an advantage and slowly form a comfortable state for yourself.
The elders of the Ming family are all prominent people in society. They are used to standing in the perspective of those in power, and they are all strong.
Xu Zhiyi is self-aware and knows that he is just an ordinary person and cannot be strong in front of them.
What's more, this is home, not a workplace, and there is no need for her as a junior.
Mingrui once asked her to show weakness in front of Ming Shiyuan, saying that she would just do this.
After spending a long time with the elders of the Ming family, Xu Zhiyi discovered that not only Ming Shiyuan was doing this, but also the four elders of the Ming family were doing this.
In front of them, she was already weak and there was no need to pretend, she just had to be herself.
Over time, this family formed a very strange pattern.
She is weak and she is reasonable.
The elders thought that she was weak and pregnant, so they instinctively had a desire to protect her and were reluctant to scold her harshly.
I just want to let her go, protect her, and pamper her.
Anyway, she is weak and behaves well. Even if she acts recklessly, she will not get into any trouble.
Indeed, her life circle is not large, and the teachers as a whole are very simple people. They can't make things complicated even if they want to, and they can't do anything big.
Currently, under the protection of everyone in the Ming family, Xu Zhiyi is very satisfied with his living situation.
In fact, even she herself didn't know that her natural insensitivity helped her avoid a lot of internal friction and increased her happiness a lot.
Innate dullness is also a gift.
The elders of Ming's family were very enthusiastic and kept the nest until they had dinner before letting her go.
When she left, she also gave her some organic peaches grown in her own orchard.
Xiaowo carried the fragrant peaches and unknowingly came to the pretty grandparents' house again.
When they entered the house, they had just finished eating. Qiaoqiao was still wearing a half-worn bib and was standing at the dining table.
Dirty.
Wang Yue gives Qiaoqiao's grandparents 15,000 yuan every month for Qiaoqiao's daily expenses and their hard work in raising children.
Apparently the money was not spent on the children.
Xiaowo looked carefully and saw that Qiaoqiao was wearing old clothes that didn't fit and were all gray in color.
At first glance, they looked like boys’ old clothes.
Seeing her coming, the two old men said a few polite words and asked her why she was here again.
Xiaowo forced a smile and didn't answer, keeping his eyes on Qiaoqiao.
Qiao Qiao has a pair of big, round eyes, hairy and very beautiful.
Xiaowo has seen the photo of Wang Yue's late wife, who looked pretty like her mother.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had just cried, and there were still two tears in her eyes as she peeked at the nest confusedly and timidly.
Xiaowo put the bag of peaches on the coffee table and sat on the sofa.
When his pretty nine-year-old cousin saw the peaches, he rushed over, rummaged through them, picked the biggest peach, and asked his grandma to wash it for him.
His grandma took the peach, laughed and called him a "thief", and took him to the kitchen.
Qiaoqiao stood in the distance, Baba looked at the peaches in the bag, holding her little hands, sniffing, not daring to move.
Xiaowo was struck by her endearing eyes, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
She picked out a red peach from the bag, squatted down, forced herself to smile at Qiao Qiao, stretched her arms, opened her arms, and shouted in her gentlest voice with all her strength:
"Qiaoqiao, do you want to eat peaches? Come on, come on... Come on, mom, come here, let mom hug you, and mom will give it to you, be good."
Xiaowo told herself over and over again that as long as Qiaoqiao could run over, she would take her away.
If Qiaoqiao still stands there, then she turns around and leaves.
What happens next can only be seen while walking.
Qiaoqiao's tearful eyes stared at the peach in Xiaowo's hand without moving at all.
Xiaowo swallowed a few times, moved forward a few steps, and his voice was choked, "Qiaoqiao, don't be afraid, mom means what she says, come here, I promise not to beat you, I will only give you the peach, Qiaoqiao..."
She couldn't explain her mood at this moment.
I just feel like crying.
Wanting the child to rush into her arms and call her mother, she got up and took her away.
She also thought that the child should just stand there and not move. Then, she could tell herself with peace of mind that she had tried her best. It was not that she did not want to take care of the child, but that the child did not want to follow her.
She can't control that much, so let God decide for her.
