Cao Xiaorui was even more surprised, “They are too irresponsible…”
She almost blurted out the words, but she swallowed them halfway.
She couldn’t bear to say that to a couple who had lost their only child.
Wu Qiuyun stood by the roadside and rubbed her hands, “I’ve seen many such couples in the hospital. A new life might bring hope to this family.”
Cao Xiaorui still couldn’t entirely accept it, “But… life was too unfair to this child. By the time he was about to marry in his twenties, his parents would already be seventy. Not only were his parents unable to help him, but he also had to take care of them. If it’s a girl, it’ll be easier. If it’s a boy, what should we do?”
Ji Yuanyuan also felt that this decision was unfair to the unborn child. However, she was different from Cao Xiaorui. She was a mother.
“They just want to find a reason to live. Without this child, they won’t be able to live.” Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
The atmosphere between the three of them fell silent.
Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath and looked at Cao Xiaorui, “Let’s go, I’ll send you back to school.”
Cao Xiaorui nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Two days later, Wu Qiuyun received a call from Mother Duan again.
The trial had ended, and Zhou Hua was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Compared to the two lives, Zhou Hua’s 12 years were nothing.
However, this was the result of the lawyer’s best efforts.
On the day of the court hearing, Cheng Lin’s parents were also there.
After five years, the injustice of their son’s death was redressed. The husband and wife cried at the scene of the trial.
After the trial ended, Ji Yuanyuan finally felt relieved.
September 2015, seven o’clock in the morning.
When Ji Yuanyuan woke up, Qin Mucheng was still asleep.
She got up and kissed Qin Mucheng on the cheek before tiptoeing to the bathroom to wash up.
Ji Yuanyuan was already very careful when she was washing up.
However, after washing up and opening the bathroom door, Qin Mucheng was already standing at the door.
“Did I wake you up?” She smiled shyly.
Qin Mucheng shook his head. He took a step forward and kissed Ji Yuanyuan on the forehead, “No, it’s my biological clock.”
Ji Yuanyuan turned sideways, “Then go wash up. I’ll go check on Tangtang.”
Tangtang was already three years old. They had slept in separate rooms some time ago.
She had thought that Tangtang would definitely cause a ruckus for a while, but who knew, she had adapted very well.
Her room was right next to Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng’s room.
When Ji Yuanyuan went over, the little girl was sleeping soundly on her pink princess bed.
The little girl’s face was flushed red, and her entire body was emitting a milky fragrance.
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but lean over and kiss her on the cheek.
This kiss woke Tangtang up.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, “Mommy, I want a hug.”
With that, she opened her arms.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and picked her up from the bed, “Tangtang is awesome. Let’s go wash our faces and brush our teeth, okay?”
Tangtang leaned on her shoulder and closed her eyes.
Ji Yuanyuan carried Tangtang to the bathroom.
Everything in the bathroom was pink and tender. There was a pink toothbrush, a pink towel, a pink sink, and even the mirror on the wall was in the shape of a little rabbit with a pink halo around it.
Ji Yuanyuan took out a small pink stool from under the sink and placed Tangtang on it.
Then, she squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush and placed it in Tangtang’s hands, “Our Tangtang is a big kid now. Can you learn to brush your teeth by yourself?”
Tangtang held her toothbrush and did not say anything. She turned her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
Her big eyes were sparkling and blinking as if she had blinked into someone’s heart.
Knowing that she was the best at using this tactic, Ji Yuanyuan could not help but soften her heart.
She took the small toothbrush from Tangtang’s hand and carefully brushed her teeth.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Ji Yuanyuan helped her change her clothes.
She found a T-shirt, a jacket, and a pair of pants from Tangtang’s closet.
Today was September 1st. It was Tangtang’s first day of kindergarten.
Wearing such clothes should be the most suitable.
There was a coat that could be worn when it was cold and taken off when it was hot.
There should be a lot of activities in the kindergarten, so it would be more convenient to wear pants.
However, Tangtang was already three years old and had her own thoughts.
She liked skirts, not pants.
She didn’t say anything. She just got out of bed with difficulty and walked to the closet.
She opened the wardrobe and pointed at a white dress, “Mom, wear this.” She said in a crisp voice.
Ji Yuanyuan tried to persuade her, “No, we have to go to kindergarten today.
It’s too troublesome to wear this.”
There were more than ten students in Tangtang’s cla.s.s.
There were only three teachers.
The teacher couldn’t take care of Tangtang all the time. It was too inconvenient to wear a dress.
“No, I want to wear this.” Tangtang pouted and repeated.
Ji Yuanyuan squatted down helplessly, “We’ll wear this when we get home in the afternoon. Let’s wear pants in the morning first, okay? If Tangtang is obedient, Mommy will agree to one of your requests, okay?”
“Alright, I’ll be obedient.” Tangtng blinked her big eyes and said.
This surprised Ji Yuanyuan.
Tangtang had been doted on by her family since she was young, causing her character to be a little arrogant.
She was not afraid of anyone in the entire family except Qin Mucheng.
It was rare for her to be so obedient.
Ji Yuanyuan did not overthink. As she took the t-shirt and was about to put it on Tangtang, she said gently, “Okay, then Tangtang should think about what request she has. Can you tell Mom when you come back in the afternoon?”
Tangtang took a deep breath and looked at Ji Yuanyuan proudly, “I want to wear this!”
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned.
Tangtang thought that Ji Yuanyuan did not understand her meaning. She explained to her in detail, “My request is to wear this dress.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s smile froze on her face.
Good heavens, was this a bug?
She couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Tangtang’s face.
Tangtang raised her hand and grabbed Ji Yuanyuan’s hand with her tiny hand.
She leaned forward and pecked the back of Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. She acted coquettishly, “Mommy, Tangtang wants to wear this dress. This dress looks good.”
Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath. Just as she was about to compromise, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Mucheng appeared at the door.
He stood at the door and looked around. He quickly understood what was going on.
He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said gently, “I’ll help her put on her clothes. You go and do your makeup.”
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and immediately agreed, “Alright, you can go down after you’ve dressed her. You don’t have to wait for me..”
