Qiao Zuwang is sick!
No one knew how he got sick, but they knew that he had been wailing in the bedroom, saying that it hurt here and there. Qiao Erqiang wanted to help him call the doctor from the health center, but he still refused.
But unfortunately, Wei Shufen came to the door at this time.
She came here for Qiao Zuwang's youngest son, Qiao Qiqi, because Qiao Qiqi had a fall recently and he still couldn't learn to walk. She wondered whether the child had any disease brought from his mother's womb, such as congenital disease. Polio.
This disease is very troublesome and a big burden on the family. Money is one thing and someone needs to be taken care of all the time. However, Qi Ziqiang and she both have to go to work, and Qi Weimin also has to go to school. There is often no one at home, leaving Qiao Qiqi alone. Naturally, people can’t rest assured if they keep it at home.
Although Wei Shufen did not agree to raise Qiao Qiqi at first, over time, she has developed a soft feeling for the child. Listening to him calling "Second Aunt" over and over again, she felt very sad. Reluctant to give up.
Of course Qiao Zuwang didn't want to keep Qiao Qiqi. There were already four oil bottles at home. This would be another burden, and it might be the biggest burden. How could he agree to it.
He asked Wei Shufen to look at his current situation. He couldn't even take care of her. How could he take care of his children?
At this time, he was actually glad that he was shorter than the beating, and could just avoid the "disaster".
Yes, the responsibility of raising his own children seemed to him a burden and a disaster.
In fact, the real "disaster" is that for Qiao Yicheng, it is almost the same, because he is doing most of the things, and Qiao Zuwang has not fulfilled any responsibilities except occasionally giving some money.
Wei Shufen naturally didn't believe it and thought he was pretending to be sick until she lifted the quilt and saw bruises all over his body.
She didn't think he was sick, he was obviously beaten.
Qiao Zuwang was a little angry when he was exposed, but Wei Shufen came here to entrust the child and didn't want to get into trouble with him, so she casually agreed with him and asked him to keep the child, regardless of whether Qiao Zuwang refuted or not.
In her opinion, this is Qiao Zuwang's biological flesh and blood. No matter how bad he is, she won't throw him out, right?
So in the end, I forced myself to keep the child and leave first.
And when Qiao Erqiang and the others came back from school, they discovered that there was an extra child at home.
When Qiao Qiqi was born, Sanli and Simei were still young, and only Qiao Erqiang had some impression of this younger brother. However, Qi Ziqiang picked him up and raised him not long after, so he didn't recognize him for a while. .
Until Qiao Zuwang got up and told them that this was their younger brother and asked them to take good care of him, he dumped the burden directly on them.
Then he continued to hide under the quilt in the house and howled. After a while, he ordered Erqiang and the others to cook him some noodles.
Erqiang just wanted to get what he wanted, so he asked Sanli to cook noodles, and then he and Simei gathered around Qiao Qiqi with some curiosity.
Qiqi was only three years old at this time, and her big ignorant eyes looked very curious about them. At the same time, she felt a little timid because of the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar faces.
He didn't know that the people in front of him were his brothers and sisters, and there was no so-called resonance in his soul or blood. He just felt scared.
"Second aunt..."
"Is he hungry?"
In Qiao Erqiang's ears, he interpreted Qiao Qiqi's murmur as "hungry" and asked Sanli to eat more noodles.
Simei suddenly said: "Will there be another person competing with me for candy and oil residue in the future?"
…
Qiao Yicheng happened to be going home this weekend. Li Yong knew this, so he rushed to Qiao's house that day, intending to tell him about Qiao Zuwang.
However, seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Li Yong asked, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties again?"
Qiao Yicheng now regarded him as someone who could share and talk, and probably wanted to get some advice from him, so he thought about it and said, "I have a younger brother named Qiao Qiqi, you Have you ever heard Sanli and the others talk about it?"
Li Yong was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced into the room.
Qiao Yicheng said: "He is sleeping now and has not woken up yet."
Because it was a holiday today, Qiao Erqiang and the others had a whole day to look at the grocery store. The three of them went there together. After all, compared to home, there were good-looking little books, as well as delicious and fun things. , much better than staying at home.
And it just so happened that the eldest brother was back, so Xiao Qiqi could be left in his care, so they didn't have to worry so much.
As for Qiao Zuwang, of course he was also at home, but after hearing Li Yong's voice, his room became completely quiet and no more noise was made.
Li Yong nodded, then glanced at him and said with a smile: "This child was entrusted to his aunt before. Why is it that now his aunt doesn't want to raise him and returns him? Qiao Zuwang will definitely not agree, then you What do you think?"
Qiao Yicheng was not surprised that Li Yong figured out the situation right away. He sighed and said with some confusion: "I, I don't know..."
Li Yong said: "Qiao Yicheng, he is your brother after all, right?"
Qiao Yicheng said nothing, obviously he couldn't accept Li Yong's words.
There was no way he could tell Li Yong that Qiao Qiqi was probably not his brother.
But in fact, even if it is true as those people said, Qiao Qiqi is the child of his mother and Qi Ziqiang. They have the same mother, so they are actually brothers.
He just couldn't get over his own psychological hurdle, and the deeper reason was that he felt too tired and wanted to evade this responsibility as an elder brother.
In the TV series, Qiao Zuwang once asked someone to adopt a child. The couple was interested in Qiao Simei, but Qiao Yicheng went to the guest house to introduce himself to them, hoping that they would take him away.
The reason is simply that he is too tired. He really wants to escape the responsibilities of the eldest brother that he has always shouldered. He wants to study and go to college, and his younger brothers and sisters will become a burden to him.
It is understandable to have this kind of thinking. After all, Qiao Yicheng is not a saint. He was selfish for a rare moment, but was rejected. Then he gave up the struggle, returned to his younger brothers and sisters, and continued to be their good brother. , and never wavered again.
Li Yong asked again: "Didn't he stay well at his aunt's house before? Is it because something went wrong that they wanted to return the child?"
Qiao Yicheng nodded and said, "My dad said he might have polio."
This is another point of concern for him. Originally, because of Li Yong's relationship, the lives of the four brothers and sisters were easier. The younger brothers and sisters were happy with money and food, and he didn't have to worry about going to college in the future. .
But now that there was a sick brother, the burden suddenly became heavier again, which cast another shadow on his heart.
Originally I was a little unfavorable to Qiao Qiqi, but at this time I felt a little similar to Qiao Zuwang, feeling that he was a burden.
But the difference between him and Qiao Zuwang is that even if he doesn't like it in his heart, even if he thinks he may be the child of his mother and Qi Ziqiang, after all, he has the same mother as himself and is still his younger brother.
If I wanted to leave him, I couldn't bear it, so I was extremely confused.
Li Yong shook his head and said: "Since you are sick, then go see a doctor quickly. Why are you staying at home? You can see a doctor or Qiao Zuwang can see a doctor. Are you going to delay it like this and regret it when you can't cure it?"
