Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I wanted to take care of Shuyi for a while longer, but Yunyun had problems again.

The children in the family are really "in tune with each other". No child has ever been sick alone, at least two of them will get sick, and they will not stop until the family is in a state of panic. I didn't expect that when Shu Yi developed a tumor, her niece would also be affected. When she came home with a minor cold, the little girl was still smiling at me happily. It turned out that she was jealous and asked her uncle to trick me back home.

I pinched the kid's face angrily and touched his forehead. The fever had gone down long ago and he was now as strong as a calf.

The little guy hugged me with a smile: "Mom, don't be angry, I miss you. You haven't hugged me to sleep for a long time. I'm really sad——"

Gao Xinci poked his head out and said, "Wouldn't it be good for Dad to be with you? You're so happy, but you're still only thinking about Mom."

"Dad is fine too, but I want my mom and dad to be with me, and my sister too."

Yunyun pulled Gao Xinci and I together and looked at a place not far away. I followed her and looked over there. Lingling was observing Gao Xinci from behind the doorpost like a little detective, which made Gao Xinci laugh. Even when we called her to come over, she refused and went back to her room in a flash.

Gao Xinci leaned close to my ear and said, "What did I do wrong? Why did Lingling look at me like a thief?"

"Who told you to be biased the first time we met? Besides, it's as if Yunyun has completely accepted you. Doesn't that mean she still dislikes you for stealing her mother? She's just simple-minded, but all her thoughts are on her sister." I wanted to laugh as I said this. Yunyun was right under our mouths, listening to everything we said at once. Seeing us laughing at her, she pouted in anger with her eyes narrowed.

"Hmph! Bad dad, bad mom, I'm going to find my sister." Yunyun jumped off the sofa and ran to the room panting.

I thought it would be easy to appease her anyway, and I still had a few words to say to Gao Xinci, so I let her do what she wanted. I only stopped her and reminded her one last time, "Be good and take your medicine on time. If you feel better, we'll go see your uncle tonight. Uncle Shuyi misses you, don't you know?"

"I'll go find some beautiful clothes now!" Yunyun replied from a distance.

Until the two children disappeared, I still couldn't let go of my identity as a kindergarten teacher. I sighed, and felt that the "violence" around me was getting stronger and stronger. After a while, the violence pounced on me with such power that it almost suffocated me. Gao Xinci hugged my neck and bit me, and I was helpless but couldn't push him away.

"In the living room, please control yourself. The child just came back, be careful that he doesn't come out again."

"I don't care, I can't help it. Do you think God is cheating me? I just got you back, and now a series of things happened to take you away. In his previous life, Shu Yi was fine and healthy. Before I left, he was happily getting married." Gao Xinci leaned against me and said.

"Get married?" I was surprised for a while: "I remember Shu Yicai was really a dull guy, even quieter than Cheng Cheng. Who is he marrying?"

Gao Xinci frowned. "I was desperate at that time, so how could I have the mood to ask? I asked Zuo Qiao to bring An An to his uncle as a flower girl. When An An came back, she told me that they were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship, but my aunt couldn't stand it. It seemed that the girl's family background was not good. Later... I seemed to have seen her once, and I had a good impression, but I can't remember it for the time being."

"Childhood sweethearts? I watched Shu Yi grow up, how come I don't know if he has any good relationships with girls?" I was even more confused. I racked my brains for a long time, and finally gave up: "Yes, then those who have been dating since the age of ten are also called childhood sweethearts. I was kidnapped by you in my early twenties, and my relationship with my family was so bad, how could I know? Especially in this life, I offended my aunt. If this incident hadn't happened this year, I wouldn't even be able to see Shu Yi."

"Are you angry?" Gao Xinci pinched my cheek. "Well, after all, my aunt forced her way up from below. She has little knowledge and a weak foundation. It's normal for her to be persuaded to exclude you. That doesn't change the fact that Shu Yi is your brother. We will still be close when we grow up. I think Shu Yi still favors you today."

"I'm not angry, I just think Shu Yi is too tired. Did you see that? He has a tumor in his lung, but Shu Yi is not worried at all. I even feel that he is proud!" I sighed and said, "What a sin. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been angry with my aunt. If I had taken a step back, Old Fu and Second Uncle wouldn't have issued an ultimatum for my aunt and uncle to divorce. Although they haven't divorced yet, the couple have been separated for many years and have become twisted. My aunt wanted to maintain her status in the family, so she threw her three daughters out and pushed her two sons too hard..."

Gao Xinci rubbed my hair when he saw this and said, "How can you be blamed? When your aunt was quarreling with you, why didn't you think about the impact on her son? She wants status and security, don't you want that? You are the daughter of the Fu family, the only one, and they have to listen to you according to the rules."

"When has the Fu family ever been strict with me?" I smiled and leaned over to kiss Gao Xinci who was lying on my legs, holding his face. "Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry. They are all elders. I can't afford to offend them, but can I avoid them? Ignore them. Anyway, I know that Shu Yi is alive and well. You said he was fine when he got married, so it's nothing. The tumor might just be... a hamartoma? It will be fine after it is removed. It's not serious."

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Gao Xinci also nodded: "If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known that he was born with a deficiency."

I thought about it and took a deep breath, shaking my head: "What can we do? When my aunt gave birth to him, his older sister Zening was only two years old. She got pregnant again before she recovered, with twins. She was also a premature baby and had a difficult delivery. Ze Xin came out safely, but he was stuck in the stomach and couldn't turn around. He almost suffocated. Besides, grandpa was already very old when he gave birth to my uncle, and his health was not very good. My uncle is lucky, but the children suffered. Fortunately, they were well raised at home. Zening, Ze Lu and Tongtong all lived in incubators, so they are healthy now. What does this show? It shows that being rich does have some benefits, right?" I laughed out loud.

Gao Xinci just laughed it off. After all, he was the "Prince of Linjiang" and had been angered so many times over the years that he had become more tolerant. He would not bother anyone for these things. I didn't want to disturb my uncle at this time. He was the pillar of the family. Apart from me, he was the only one who could talk back to my second uncle. He also often socialized with my second uncle and inquired about news for me. How could I not be grateful? Anyway, I was used to being a retreatant in the family.

But I didn't expect that after I had been peaceful for a few days, my aunt couldn't bear to scold me, so she took her anger out on her own daughter. Zening also happened to run into her. She came back just after Shu Yi's medical report came out, and the result was benign. My aunt's temper escalated and she vented the anger she had been holding for a few days. I was greeted by her resentment as soon as I got out of the elevator.

"You are also a sister? You always compete with your brother for everything, act so high and mighty, and treat the whole family as your stepping stone! Your brother has been ill for several days, and you are still worrying about your studies and career. This time it is benign, but if it is malignant, you will not be able to see your brother for the last time when he dies! How cruel you are! I think Ze Xin and Ze Lu are more sensible than you!"

Zening was used to it, and responded calmly: "Mom, I didn't even know Shu Yi was sick. My dad told Uncle Pei not to tell me in a hurry. He knew I was in the competition."

The young aunt quickly refuted: "Competition? What kind of competition is more important than your brother's life? Your father didn't tell you, so you didn't ask about Shu Yi's situation? Don't you know that he is not in good health? You need others to remind you to come back for such a thing!"

The words became more and more harsh. I had never seen such cruelty when the children were young. Living in the old house for these years really made my aunt depressed. I couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go in, but then I heard Shu Yi also helping his sister.

"Mom! You're going too far! Usually you never let my sister contact me. Every time she calls you, you hang up after just a few words."

I paused, turned around and smiled at Zhizhi and Lixi. They came over with Yangyang and Jinjin respectively. I touched Jinjin's little face and said, "It seems that I didn't teach them bad things. Auntie made a mistake."

"Brother Shuyi is the best. Last time, he even let me eat his dinner when he was hungry. He is not like my aunt at all." Jinjin pouted and raised her face.

"You can tell your sister this, but we are going in now. You dare not cause trouble for your sister in front of your aunt, okay?" I smiled.

Jinjin nodded mischievously: "I understand. If my aunt bullies me, I will just hug my uncle and cry! I won't argue with her."

"Be good." I patted Yangyang's head quickly to prevent her from thinking I was biased. Then I cleared my throat and knocked on the door with the eldest lady's attitude that my aunt hated the most. Zening came out and was quite surprised to see me. He quickly glanced back and saw that my aunt's anger had subsided by half in an instant. I pulled Zening to follow me.

The young aunt held her breath, only her cheeks were still red: "Why did you come here? Didn't I ask you to stay at home and look after the children? Your uncle is considerate of you, but you don't appreciate it?"

"Yangyang and Jinjin want to see their brother. Besides, in my eyes, isn't Shuyi also a child? Aunt, please don't always shut me out." I coughed and tilted my head to look at Shuyi, and he laughed.

"Sister, what delicious food are you going to make for me?"

"You're still talking, but you're really embarrassing your sister. How long has it been since I last cooked? You want it to be good for the lungs, delicious, and have meat. I don't know how long I've been looking through the recipes at home." I pretended to be angry and asked Auntie to put the food box on the table. I opened it and placed it in front of Shu Yi: "Here, almond pig's trotter soup, adenophora duck soup, fried lotus root with snow peas, fried yam with black fungus, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, so healthy. You've finished them all, give your sister some motivation to keep cooking."

"My sister hasn't eaten either. Sister, please sit down with me. I don't have much appetite and can't eat much." The first thing Shu Yi did after getting the chopsticks was to wave to Zening. Zening was a little "flattered" and shook his head.

I looked at my aunt in the corner who also hadn't eaten and had a sour face. I reached out to pull Zening to sit down, and just pinched Shu Yi's face affectionately: "You can eat yours. I prepared your sister's food. She eats to nourish the brain. Playing a game requires a lot of brainpower. You can nourish your lungs first, and then... gradually."

"Sister, you're working too hard." Zening pulled my sleeve. Such a good child became a little unconfident after being criticized a few times. He lowered his head and looked gloomy.

I patted the back of her hand and asked Auntie to bring Zening's meal over. "Why is it so hard for me to be a sister? I can't do anything else, but taking good care of you is my greatest achievement. Are you two going to be the head of the family?"

Suddenly, something not very appropriate was brought to light, and both the sister and the brother were a little embarrassed. It seemed that their parents' favoritism and their separation had a huge impact. They used to have such a good relationship, but now it's so miserable. It's worse than if Chengcheng and I were not born from the same mother.

I curled my lips, and suddenly a plan came to my mind. I immediately took out my phone and called Cheng Cheng, smiling at Shu Yi: "Your brother is worried about you, but there is a big thing happening outside, so he can't come back for the time being. When you get better, he will bring you some fun stuff."

Shu Yi added: "It's a major event in life, so I really can't disturb you."

"The little guy is quite well-informed."

I smiled, and Chengcheng picked up the phone. A "wise" face appeared on the phone. Every time he pretended to be serious, he looked like a husky. Not only me, but Shu Yi was also amused, and Zening also curled his lips.

"Hey, isn't this our Young Master Shu Yi? Are you feeling better? Are you finally willing to call your brother? I wanted to ask you the other day, but you hung up on me every time. I was wondering what I had done to offend you. I clearly remember that I haven't seen you for at least three years." Cheng Cheng said with a pout.

The first sentence really hit the nail on the head. Shu Yi's face was full of doubts. He slowly turned his eyes to the side. There was only my aunt in that position. I immediately understood. Fortunately, Shu Yi reacted quickly and did not save face for his mother: "I was afraid of disturbing you. These are all small matters on my side. If you can't bring your sister-in-law back, the whole family will laugh at you."

"Go away, what do you know at such a young age?" Cheng Cheng rolled her eyes, then pursed her lips again: "But you have a tumor anyway, are you sure you don't want me to go back and comfort you?"

Shu Yi still didn't give him face: "If you have the ability, just send my sister-in-law back, and forget it."

"You have no conscience. How can you say that I am your real brother?" Cheng Cheng ignored him and dug into her phone to look for me, as if she wanted to crawl out of the screen: "Sister? Where are you? When did you learn to become invisible?"

I turned the phone over and said, "I'm not going to disturb you two brothers from chatting about the past. What's the matter? Have you gotten into trouble again and I'm waiting for you to clean up the mess?"

"That's not the case. I just want to ask, if Lulu asked who I should save first if she and Shen Qilin fell into the river together, how should I answer this?"

I took a deep breath and said, "Shen Qilin can swim. If someone asks me next time, just tell them that your brother-in-law can swim. Go ahead and answer. If you make a mistake again and lose your wife, I'll break your legs!"

Cheng Cheng felt very aggrieved: "Hey, you are so fierce, but I have hidden your ruler and other things, so you can't hit me——"

"Is your sister so stupid that she can't buy a new one?" I narrowed my eyes.

Cheng Cheng's joyful expression suddenly dropped, and she suddenly became sneaky: "What? What did you say? Hey sister, the signal here is not good and I can't hear clearly. I'll hang up first!"

The next second, my dark face appeared on the screen, and Zening, who looked a little tired, appeared behind me.

I put away my phone with satisfaction, still chattering about Chengcheng. Sure enough, Zening couldn't help it after a while, and patted my shoulder gently, saying in a low voice: "Sister, Brother Shuyu is the head of the family after all, and his brothers and sisters are still here, so you have to give him some dignity..."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise and picked up Yangyang who was sitting on the side: "Is there anything your brother dares not to listen to at home? Think about it quickly, do you still remember it?"

Yangyang laughed and said, "Yes! My brother tried to grab the meat from me, and my sister asked him to give it to me, but he never listened."

"Really? I saw that he agreed very quickly on the surface. Is he bullying you again behind your back? Wait until he comes back and I'll deal with him!" I pinched the soft flesh on Yangyang's face, turned my head and stopped smiling. My eyes didn't stay on anyone, but just looked at the ground and said faintly: "To be honest, this is the way it should be. This is how we feel like a family. Face is for outsiders. If you can abide by the rules and be decent at home, that's not dignity, that's a slap in the face of others. What era is this? What about being the head of the family? What about brothers and sisters from the side branches? It's not the throne. What's the saying... Let him be strong, but does it mean that whoever sits on the position of the head of the family will not be allowed to have a future for other relatives?"

Zening and Shu Yi remained silent, and were also worried about something in their hearts. My aunt wanted to step forward, but was stopped by my look.

I continued with a smile: "My sister stepped down from that seat. You will know it after a few minutes. It is meaningless. I am not saying this to let you learn from me to be polite and not care about anything. I am just telling you the truth. We are a family. We should fight when we should. After the fight, we are still a family and we still have to sit at the same table to eat. Why make yourself so embarrassed?"
