Song Zhaodi looked a little flustered. Seeing that Shu Ying's expression didn't seem very happy, she immediately explained, "But don't worry, I don't know the people who came. I was afraid of causing you any trouble, so I didn't say anything."
Shu Ying realized her expression was too serious, so she changed to a smiling face: "It's nothing. Is the person you're talking about named Ye Zhanying?"
Song Zhaodi slapped her forehead and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, look at my memory, I just can't remember people's names. Do you know them?"
Shu Ying nodded slightly and led the child inside: "We've met a few times before. You don't need to be too wary of the people in this compound. No one has any bad intentions."
She was a little surprised, though. She thought Ye Zhanying was a tough person to deal with when she was in the hospital, but she didn't expect her to remember to bring meals to the children.
She noticed the emotions in Ye Zhanying's eyes when they got married, and Shu Ying thought she hated her to death.
They came so enthusiastically to deliver food today, it must be because of Xie Zhiyan, right?
Shu Ying patted Yangyang's head. She was very affectionate towards Xie Zhiyan and was a very good girl.
Even though Xie Zhiyan was so badly injured, he still took care of his family. It's probably because he loves his family so much that he also benefited from the child's kindness.
"Sister Song, when they come again next time, give them a return gift, so they don't think we're being too cold-hearted."
They are newcomers and unfamiliar with the area, and have already received help from many people.
Whether or not it was because of Xie Zhiyan, the care he had given to her and the children was genuine, and she couldn't forget that kindness.
Song Zhaodi smiled shyly: "Okay, then I'll prepare some of the local specialties you brought next time, and share them with everyone if anyone comes to visit."
The items were brought by Shu Ying, and since she didn't say anything, Song Zhaodi couldn't make a decision on her own.
Shu Ying sat on the sofa, noticed her unease, and took her hand.
“Sister Song, Qingqing and I are both a bit younger than you, and we are sure we have many shortcomings in how we conduct ourselves. If you have any thoughts, just tell us. Although we are family members who met later in life, I really feel that we are destined to be together. Just treat this place as your home. In my heart, I feel that you are my own sister, and no one will say a bad word about you.”
They were both women, and there wasn't much Shuying could do but temporarily provide her with shelter from the wind and rain.
As a result, she is currently preoccupied with her own problems and naturally cannot guarantee anything.
Song Zhaodi's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded slightly.
"good."
Actually, she enjoys her current life very much.
Although it did feel a bit like being dependent on others, Shu Ying genuinely respected her; at least here, everyone respected her hard work.
Shu Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out twenty yuan and some change from her bag.
"By the way, Sister Song, we've just arrived here, and we might need to buy some things for the house. I'll be quite busy at the hospital these next few days, so if there's anything you need, just take the money and buy it. Consider this my salary for all you've done at home."
Shu Ying was afraid that she wouldn't accept it, so she simply used the two children as an excuse.
“I don’t know when my husband will wake up. If he stays in the hospital for too long, I may need to hire someone to take care of the child at home. I trust your character. Rather than hiring someone else, it’s better for you to take care of the child yourself. At least you really care about the child.”
Yueyue and Yangyang each took one arm from her and shook her, saying, "Aunt Song, please take the money. That way, you can buy us candy when Mom isn't around."
Song Zhaodi looked at her with doting eyes and laughed out loud.
Shu Ying laughed along, "Two little gluttons."
She knew the two children were clever, and they joined her in persuading Song Zhaodi.
Yueyue giggled and hid behind her: "No, it wasn't me. When we went out to play today, a lot of kids had candy to eat, and some even shared some with me and my brother. Mom taught us to reciprocate, didn't she?"
Shu Ying's eyes held a hint of a smile: "Then when Mom has time, I'll take you to the mall to buy a box of candy. But you can't eat too much, or black worms will grow in your teeth."
The two little ones danced with joy.
Song Zhaodi carefully put the money away: "I'll take this money for now. If you need to buy anything later, you can take more money from me. I don't usually spend much money. You manage the house very well, so there's nothing I need to buy."
She and Shu Ying were not related, yet the man opened his heart to her the moment they met, which made her feel really bad.
Shu Ying didn't say anything more.
Song Zhaodi had been living in dire straits for a long time. Now that she had finally escaped that hellhole and arrived in a new environment, it was inevitable that she would feel a little uncomfortable.
Whether it's the people she's currently interacting with or the things she'll be doing in the future, she needs time to get to know them.
At the same time, at the entrance of the family compound.
Looking weak, Zhong Yun'er held the child, crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Comrade, this is my identification and a letter of introduction from my unit. I just received a notification yesterday that my husband, Wei Chengping, has died in the line of duty?"
Her voice trembled; the rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate.
Not only did her child have problems, but she was also told that her husband had died before she even finished her postpartum confinement period.
