Xu Wantang watched Zhao Youyou, who had stopped crying, easily break away from Song Qianxue's restraints and run towards him, looking up at her.
Without any pause, Xu Wantang chose a piece of meat and asked the salesperson to help weigh it.
Zhao Youyou, who had not received any attention, pursed her lips and took another step closer to Xu Wantang.
Since she returned to her biological mother's home, she has not eaten candy, meat, or sweet fruit.
When she was at the bad woman's house, although the bad woman didn't let her eat too many candies, she could eat meat and fruits almost every day.
She has been starving for the past few days. She finally begged her mother to come to the place to buy things, but her mother said she had no money. Of course she was unhappy...
But she didn't expect that she would meet a bad woman here. Mom has no money, but the bad woman has money!
She originally wanted to ask the bad woman for it, but she always felt that the bad woman seemed to be a little different recently, and she was a little scared.
Zhao Youyou grabbed the hem of her clothes and stood there with a confused expression on her face, looking at Xu Wantang longingly.
Just as she was about to gather up the courage to speak, she found someone else beside her.
She looked up along the man's legs, and it turned out to be Dad Lu!
The person she was most afraid of before was Father Lu, but compared with the bad women later, Father Lu was obviously better.
"Dad Lu..." Zhao Youyou's voice was like a mosquito, buzzing several times.
Lu Yunzheng was not as indifferent as Xu Wantang, he just stopped raising Zhao Youyou, but Zhao Youyou was entrusted to his care by his comrade before his death, and he could not turn a blind eye to her.
"Well, if you want to eat anything, tell me and I'll pay." Lu Yunzheng said.
"Yeah! Papa Lu is the best! Youyou loves Papa Lu the most!" Zhao Youyou seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness she had with Lu Yunzheng before, and hugged Lu Yunzheng's legs enthusiastically, with a smile on her face. .
After hugging her twice, she ran to the counter where the fruits and meats were placed. She stood up on tiptoes with great effort, and kept pointing at the things on the counter with her little fleshy hands, "This, this, I want this!"
Song Qianxue seemed to have just reacted at this moment. She took a few steps forward and said to Lu Yunzheng with an embarrassed look on her face, "Yunzheng, I'm really sorry. I didn't take care of Youyou. You'd better not spend any money. I'll just take care of you." Take her away..."
Xu Wantang had already chosen something at this moment and sneered at the mother and daughter.
If Song Qianxue was really embarrassed, she wouldn't have come forward just now. Moreover, she didn't take any real action on the matter of "sorry", she was just talking about it.
To put it nicely, it means having a correct attitude, but to put it worst, it means just talking without doing anything - a pretense.
Who can’t just use lip service?
Just as Lu Yunzheng was about to speak, Xu Wantang suddenly covered his mouth.
Lu Yunzheng looked at Xu Wantang with confusion and surprise. A light fragrance came from the hand covering his mouth and nose, and he was inexplicably afraid to breathe.
Xu Wantang's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, with an expression that seemed to say: Don't talk.
Xu Wantang knew that what Lu Yunzheng wanted to say was nothing more than "it's okay" and "it's okay". Didn't that make it clear that he was giving money to Song Qianxue's mother and daughter?
It is one thing for Lu Yunzheng to give money every month. It is repaying a favor, but once the money exceeds the scope of funding, there will definitely be a second time, like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled at all.
And with Zhao Youyou's temperament, he will definitely get more and more easy as he asks for it. If Lu Yunzheng fails to give it once, he will be resented.
More importantly, she didn't want Zhao Youyou to get her wish.
Lu Yunzheng was quite discerning, but he didn't say anything after being threatened by her.
Seeing that he was quite honest, Xu Wantang let go of his hand and looked at Song Qianxue.
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled politely and officially, "Then since you are so caring and know that we will spend money, please take the child away as soon as possible."
Xu Wantang's expression was very friendly, but what he said really shocked Song Qianxue.
"What...what did you say?" The originally fragile and apologetic look on Song Qianxue's face seemed to crack at this moment, and she subconsciously asked Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang's expression was almost innocent, but what she said was almost cruel to Song Qianxue, "Your ears are not good? Then I repeat, if you are really worried that we will spend money, take the child away. Listen carefully now Yet?"
Xu Wantang spoke again and analyzed Song Qianxue's heart clearly, "Or are you saying that you didn't mean to take Zhao Youyou away in the first place, just talking about it?"
"It shouldn't happen, right? You shouldn't be that kind of person, right?" Xu Wantang pretended to be surprised.
At this moment, Song Qianxue's face turned completely dark. She bit her lips, and her eyes seemed to be filled with grievances, "You...you..."
Song Qianxue didn't say anything for a long time, and her hands were trembling slightly, "I'll take Youyou away right now..."
Xu Wantang showed eight teeth and showed a standard smile, "Okay."
Although Zhao Youyou is young, she has already become sensible.
She watched for a long time, and when she saw that the bad woman was about to take her away, she cried "Wow" again. While crying, she secretly glanced at Song Qianxue and Lu Yunzheng's expressions, as if asking them for help. .
Xu Wantang turned around and saw Lu Yunzheng looking at her with confusion and dissatisfaction.
Xu Wantang could guess 80% of what Lu Yunzheng was thinking.
He just wondered why Xu Wantang did this. Buying something was nothing to him.
Xu Wantang patted his shoulder and educated him in a low voice with an experienced tone, "Do you know that your behavior is harming the children? Zhao Youyou cries every time he doesn't get what he wants. This time it's... You saw it, you bought it for her, what about next time? What about next time? "
"It's a small thing for you, but it's a big deal for a child's growth. As outsiders, we shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing. Instead, we should leave it to Zhao Youyou's guardians to educate them. We will fundamentally solve Zhao Youyou’s problem of crying to solve problems.”
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng's expression was obviously relaxed, Xu Wantang said again, "So if you encounter something like this again in the future, you must refuse if you can. Do you understand?"
Lu Yunzheng didn't really understand what Xu Wantang was talking about at first, but he had taken Zhao Youyou for a few days a while ago, and when he thought about it, he realized that it was indeed true.
Zhao Youyou's habit of always crying to solve problems should indeed be corrected, and he should not encourage Zhao Youyou's bad habit.
"Well, remember, I won't do it next time." Lu Yunzheng said seriously.
Xu Wantang looked at his sincere eyes and inexplicably felt that the person in front of him was like a large dog admitting his mistake.
Xu Wantang thought silently: Why is it like training a dog? This feels pretty good. It would also be nice to raise a dog when I have the opportunity...
