Chapter 95 Going Home with My Uncle
Chapter 95 Going Home with My Uncle
The rumors spread by Little Yellow Hair's mother were initially met with disbelief.
After all, everyone knows she became abnormal because of her son's death.
At first, when the crazy woman grabbed Xia Yanhong and called her daughter-in-law, everyone spoke up for her.
But Xia Yanhong secretly helped the madwoman.
Xia Yanhong may not care about anything else now that the mother of the person she likes has come to this. It is also possible that Xiao Huangmao's death has affected more than just his mother.
Anyway, Xia Yanhong started taking care of the crazy woman, and even readily agreed when the crazy woman called her daughter-in-law.
This made the onlookers feel that something was wrong and they began to speculate.
It's impossible that no one except the Xia family knew that Xia Yanhong and Xiao Huangmao had dated.
Thus, the fact that Xia Yanhong had dated Xiao Huangmao before her marriage went from speculation to confirmation.
The rumors quickly reached Cheng Jun's ears, and he instinctively wanted to get a divorce.
But looking at Cheng Xiaobao, who obediently called him "Dad," he hesitated!
This hesitation led Cheng Jun to the police station.
"What was the reason for your arrest?" Lu Yuanqing asked.
Qian Yulan lowered her voice and whispered, "Black market!"
Lu Yuanqing was speechless!
The system had stated that Lu Yuanbo's original fate was to be arrested for going to the black market.
"Then..." Lu Yuanqing choked up a little. Did he eat peanuts too?
Upon seeing this, Qian Yulan immediately realized that he had misunderstood. She patted his hand reassuringly and said, "He has been sentenced to ten years of labor reform and will be sent to the frontier next month!"
Lu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I go see him?" Lu Yuanqing asked.
He was still his cousin, so he decided to go and take a look.
Qian Yulan: "Of course, Xiao Yang will take you there later!"
At this point, Qian Yulan looked at the baby her son was holding not far away. She paused for a moment, then finally spoke, "Xiao Yang's idea was a bit selfish; he didn't consider you!"
Lu Yuanqing followed her gaze and saw that Qin Yang had said something that made the little brat suddenly smile, looking very happy.
But his little hands never let go, gripping Qin Yang's clothes tightly.
"How pitiful!"
Lu Yuanqing knew that his words were very cold.
Now the truth has come out.
He understood Qin Yang's purpose.
It wasn't some extreme secret; I just wanted him to help me raise a child.
It was precisely because he understood that Lu Yuanqing didn't know what to say.
Agree immediately?
It's a bit difficult for him.
The Lu family kids were all forced into this situation, but after spending more time together, they developed some genuine feelings for each other.
You won't agree?
He had witnessed the situation at the Cheng family's house. If Cheng Xiaobao stayed, he could easily guess how Xia Yanhong would treat Cheng Jun after he was sent to a labor camp in the border region.
Qin Yang was sincere, but as Xia Yanhong shouted, he was always an outsider, and it was impossible for him to interfere in other people's affairs.
It seems that now there is only one way: as long as Cheng Xiaobao leaves, far away from the emperor, Xia Yanhong will not be able to find anyone to vent her anger.
Lu Yuanqing didn't agree immediately, and Qian Yulan could understand.
After all, raising a child is not as simple as raising a pig.
A pig only needs to be raised for a year, but a child doesn't.
The effort required during this period is vastly different.
“It’s almost lunchtime, Yuanqing, please stay home for dinner!” Qian Yulan said. “After you’ve eaten and rested for a bit, I’ll have Xiaoyang take you to see Chengjun.”
"Thank you for your trouble!" Lu Yuanqing said with a faint smile.
"No trouble at all, what's the trouble?" Qian Yulan smiled and got up to walk towards Qin Yang.
Lu Yuanqing remained standing, his gaze fixed on the distance, seemingly vacant.
"The host doesn't want to bring Cheng Xiaobao home!"
A system voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
Having grown accustomed to sudden system attacks, Lu Yuanqing wasn't frightened.
"Yes!"
He admitted it!
Why should I?!
Is he a kind-hearted person?
Why give him so many troublesome kids?
Lu Yuanqing didn't consider himself a very responsible person.
However, due to his own reasons, he has always been a very stubborn person deep down.
He stubbornly believes that once you have a child, you must take responsibility for him and raise him properly.
If you can't do that, then don't have children.
This is what it means to be responsible for yourself and your child.
One of the reasons he was so unable to face it back then, even wanting to just kick the bucket, was his inability to take responsibility for the Lu family's children.
They weren't his biological children; they were even adopted relatives. He wasn't sure he could treat them well.
Whatever the reason, he accepted it and faced reality, and he is now treating his children well in the way he understands it.
Raising children is not something you can just do once you've raised them to adulthood.
"System, I have a feeling that all of this is being arranged by someone!" Lu Yuanqing said helplessly.
He won a piglet in a lottery, and to find a legitimate source for it, he encouraged Zhao Zhongcai to start a pig-raising business. This led him to Jiang'an City, a pig-farming city, where he coincidentally ran into Qin Yang on the train. He cleverly managed to evade Qin Yang, but was discovered just before returning home. Then he found his lost uncle and learned the absurd plot twist. And then… he's going to raise another piglet!!!
I have a feeling that I've been tricked!
The system showed no qualms about this topic: "Host, I can guarantee with my lifeblood that everything you encountered in Jiang'an City was not a scheme, but rather an arrangement of fate."
"Your decision changed the course of events."
is it?
Lu Yuanqing was somewhat dazed!
"What was Cheng Xiaobao's fate in the original storyline?"
system:"……"
"According to the rules, you cannot tell the host any information about the task object unless the corresponding hidden task is completed."
"Oh!" Lu Yuanqing said expressionlessly. "So, Cheng Xiaobao is also one of my targets!"
system:"……"
"His ending was tragic; that's the only thing I can tell the host!"
As for the specifics of why it's bad, the system says it can't say.
Lu Yuanqing gave a slight, unsmiling smirk and stopped pressuring it.
……
Qian Yulan went over and asked Qin Yang to help her cook in the kitchen.
"Where's Xiaobao?" Qin Yang asked.
Qian Yulan smiled and teased Cheng Xiaobao, saying, "Xiaobao, why don't you go over there and talk to your uncle?"
"Uncle?" Cheng Xiaobao looked up.
"Yes, Xiao Bao's cousin, Grandma and Uncle Qin are going to cook. His cousin is all alone over there and he's very lonely. Xiao Bao is a good boy, so please keep him company, okay!"
Qin Yang helped him stand up and watched him hesitate, looking up at them with a pitiful expression that really made his heart ache.
Qin Yang knew the child was a little shy, and was about to say that if he didn't want to go, then he didn't have to go!
But when he met his mother's determined gaze, Qin Yang hesitated.
"Xiao Bao, your uncle is doing well. He heard about you and came to see you," Qin Yang encouraged him.
"Will Uncle like Xiaobao?" Cheng Xiaobao asked softly.
"Yes, Uncle will really like Xiaobao!" Qin Yang looked into his eyes and told him firmly.
Cheng Xiaobao seemed to be encouraged, and took small steps toward Lu Yuanqing. Every few steps, he would turn back to look at Qin Yang. When he met Qin Yang's encouraging gaze, he would turn back and continue walking with peace of mind.
"Mom, is it true that Lu Yuanqing doesn't want to raise Xiaobao?" Qin Yang asked.
He also knew that he had done something that disregarded Lu Yuanqing's wishes.
"I didn't say yes, nor did I say no!" Qian Yulan didn't hide anything from him.
She could tell that Lu Yuanqing was somewhat reluctant to agree, but he seemed to be a soft-hearted person. Seeing Xiaobao being beaten by his mother like that, he felt sorry for Xiaobao and couldn't bring himself to refuse.
It has to be said that Qin Yang's 'calculation' was indeed spot on.
"If Lu Yuanqing is unwilling, then I will raise Xiaobao myself. I will accept whatever trouble Xia Yanhong causes me. I will never let Xiaobao go back to that home!" Qin Yang said firmly.
He never wanted to see Xiaobao again, only to see Xiaobao being beaten by that crazy woman Xia Yanhong.
Qian Yulan instinctively wanted to object. Xia Yanhong was really crazy. How could anyone live with someone like that?
Besides, Qin Yang is already at the age where he needs to think about marriage. If he has to have another child, where will he find a good family's daughter to marry into his family?
But after thinking about it, Qian Yulan still couldn't bring herself to say these words.
She watched Cheng Jun grow up, and Cheng Xiaobao was such a well-behaved and pitiful child.
On the other side, after Lu Yuanqing exchanged a few words with the system, he sensed someone approaching from behind.
He turned his head and met Cheng Xiaobao's cautious and nervous little face. When he saw him suddenly turn around, he was even startled and took a step back.
A little timid!
Lu Yuanqing thought to himself.
"Come here!" Lu Yuanqing smiled again and reached out his hand.
Cheng Xiaobao stared at him without making a move.
Lu Yuanqing patiently extended his hand.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Cheng Xiaobao stretched out his little hand and placed it in Lu Yuanqing's big hand.
Lu Yuanqing grasped it and gently pulled it into his arms.
The big hand tightly enveloped the small hand, as if enclosing him in its own world, shielding him from all storms.
Lu Yuanqing held the person on his lap and gently pinched his slightly thin face.
"Xiao Bao, would you like to go home with your uncle?"
