Raising a Family [Rebirth]

"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door suddenly.

Wen Rui said to Jiang Yueting, "Wait a minute." He stood up and went to open the door. It should be Wang Xiao who brought the child over.

As soon as he opened the door, a little boy got into the room from under his arm. Wen Rui smiled helplessly. He was more comfortable giving the children tutoring at home, and made them something to eat from time to time.

After getting along for a long time, the children are no longer afraid of him, and all of them have lost their original quiet appearance and become very lively and active.

The two little girls held hands and called sweetly, "Hello, Brother Wen."

"How are you all?" Wen Rui stepped aside to let these children into the house.

The person who got into the room first suddenly shouted: "Ah!" The children behind also rushed to the room to see what was wrong.

A group of people looked around Jiang Yueting curiously.

Gao Lin looked at Jiang Yueting and said, "I've seen him before."

Wen Rui hurriedly said: "Don't look at my brother like that, sit down and start doing homework."

The children still listened to Wen Rui's words, and sat down obediently around the round table where they were doing their homework.

Jiang Yueting slid off the stool and went to the door to hold Wen Rui.Wen Rui held his hand back and smiled at him.

Wang Xiao walked at the back, and was relieved to see that the children had arrived safely. She said wearily, "This group of children made me a headache."

"Come in for a glass of water?"

"No, I have an appointment to have my hair done today. I don't think I'll be here until later, so you can take care of them." Wang Xiao won't go back to the town after dropping off the children. She will either go shopping in the city or go back to her home in the city Home.

Her family also has a house in the city, and she plans to move here after Gao Lin graduates from elementary school.

Wang Xiao's eyes fell on Jiang Yueting, and she asked curiously, "Your neighbor's child?"

Wen Rui is not a big talker, he didn't tell Wang Xiao about the Jiang family's affairs, Wang Xiao thought that the next door had something to do, so he gave the child to Wen Rui to take care of.

Wen Rui didn't say much.

After Wang Xiao left, Wen Rui closed the door and led Jiang Yueting to the dining table. He saw that the snacks for Jiang Yueting had not been touched, and asked, "Aren't they delicious?"

Jiang Yueting didn't say yes or no, Wen Rui knew that he didn't want to eat.

"How about cooking some noodles?" It would take too much time to do other things, so let's eat some noodles first.

Jiang Yueting nodded.

"Then you wait for me here for a while." Wen Rui let go of him and went to the kitchen to make egg and shredded pork noodles for him. Who knew that Jiang Yueting followed him like a little tail.

Wen Rui said softly: "Stand at the door, don't come in, there is oily smoke inside."

Jiang Yueting stood quietly by the door watching him busy in the kitchen.

In less than 10 minutes, Wen Rui brought out the noodles.

Seeing him sitting there obediently eating noodles, Wen Rui recalled in a daze the first time he invited the child to eat noodles at his house. At that time, Jiang Yueting was very guarded against him, but now he relies on him wholeheartedly.

He asked, "Do you know your aunt's mobile phone number?" Wen Rui felt that he couldn't communicate with Uncle Jiang Yueting, so he decided to find a breakthrough from his aunt.

In fact, he didn't expect Jiang Yueting to know, but who knew that Jiang Yueting nodded: "I know."

After Wen Rui got Fang Yuwei's mobile phone number, he thought about calling him.

The answer over there was very fast, and the tone was still urgent: "Hello? Who are you?"

Hearing her tone, Wen Rui subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yueting, who was eating noodles unhurriedly, and said, "Are you Aunt Jiang Yueting? I'm Wen Rui, Jiang Hao's neighbor. We met. Jiang Yueting is here with me now. "

Fang Yuwei finally felt relieved after hearing what he said. She let out a long breath and murmured: "It's fine, it's fine."

She knew that Jiang Yueting would go crazy if he disappeared. She searched all over the house but there was no sign of Jiang Yueting. She had already reported to the police station.

"I'm going to pick him up right now."

Wen Rui: "Sorry, I want to ask, did your husband beat Jiang Yueting?"

Fang Yuwei was stunned: "I, I don't know."

Wen Rui frowned, and said, "It's getting late now, can you come back tomorrow? The child is here with me, so you don't have to worry."

Fang Yuwei hesitated and said, "I want to talk to Yue Ting. If he doesn't want me to pick him up today, I'll go there tomorrow."

Jiang Yueting's answer was naturally unwilling.

Fang Yuwei didn't say much, but asked Wen Rui to take good care of the child.

Wen Rui said: "Can we talk about the child's situation tomorrow?"

Fang Yuwei didn't understand what the two of them had to talk about, but she agreed with the question asked by the other party.

"I hope you are the only one coming here tomorrow. Can you not tell your husband about this?"

Fang Yuwei didn't expect Zhou Neng to go either. She was very disappointed in Zhou Neng. She wanted him to help find her child after she lost it, but he said that he couldn't ask for leave.

"Okay, I'll go by myself tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Rui called Zhang Huaibin and said that he would ask for leave tomorrow morning.

The old man asked, "Are you sick?"

"No, there's something wrong."

"Okay." The old man didn't make things difficult for him, and asked again after a second, "Can you come back at noon?"

Wen Rui was a little dumbfounded.

Back when the two were chatting, Wen Rui accidentally said that he could cook, and the old man asked him to try it in the kitchen.

After tasting his cooking skills, the old man asked him, "Do you want to learn how to cook noodles from me?"

Wen Rui laughed: "Can your craft be passed on to outsiders?"

The old man said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

Wen Rui thought for a while, and agreed that there was no harm in multi-handling.

From that day on, the old man taught Wen Rui how to cook noodles. Gradually, Wen Rui's work focus shifted, and he began to work in the back kitchen.

Although the customers who come to eat feel that the taste has changed a bit, it is still delicious, and there is no decrease in the number of customers in the store.

Last month, the old man gave Wen Rui a lot of salary. After all, he is relatively leisurely now. Most of the shops are taken care of by Wen Rui. He does not only buy vegetables, but also pays the cashier. He doesn't even need to clean the dishes. Especially when it gets colder.

Xu is used to being leisurely, but now he says he is tired whenever he asks the old man to cook noodles.

-

After Jiang Yueting finished eating the noodles, Wen Rui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After waiting for half an hour, he moved out the blackboard in the corner to give a lecture to the children.

His tutoring work has long been on the right track, especially after the midterm exam, the children's grades in that exam have improved to varying degrees, and Gao Lin has made the most progress, even surpassing Zhang Lejie.

Wang Xiao was so happy that she clapped her hands, and told Wen Rui vividly about Li Yuanyuan's aggrieved expression. She said, "I finally feel proud." Keep going, there is still hope for her son to enter the key junior high school.

She specially prepared teaching tools such as blackboard and chalk, just to facilitate Wen Rui's teaching.

Jiang Yueting moved a small bench and sat not far away, listening to Wen Rui's lecture seriously, but didn't know if he could understand.

After teaching the children, Wen Rui gave them snacks and water, and asked them to wait for Wang Xiao while eating.

A group of people chattered together, and Wen Rui felt distressed when he saw Jiang Yueting sitting alone. He walked over and asked, "Do you want to say hello to your brother and sister?"

Jiang Yueting didn't speak, but Wen Rui felt his resistance and could only sigh: "Then let's go to the supermarket later, shall we? Pick you towels and cups."

Jiang Yueting nodded: "Yes."

After Wang Xiao picked him up, Wen Rui wrapped Jiang Yueting tightly with his scarf before leading him out.

As soon as he went out, Wen Rui shivered. The south was humid and cold, which was very different from the cold in the north. This was his first time spending the winter in the south, and he was not used to it.

Wen Rui led the child to the supermarket, and he let Jiang Yueting choose everything by himself.

Jiang Yueting chose two small towels with puppies printed on them, and a toothbrush with a bear's head...

Wen Rui couldn't help laughing when he saw him carrying supplies with small animals with a serious face.But he was afraid that Jiang Yueting would be awkward, so he could only hold back.

Before leaving the supermarket, Wen Rui said again: "Let's go buy milk."

Jiang Yueting looked up at him: "The tall one?"

"correct."

It was almost ten o'clock when Wen Rui led the child home. He warmed up the milk and handed it to Jiang Yueting: "After drinking, we'll go brush our teeth, wash up and go to sleep."

Jiang Yueting washed up in the bathroom, while Wen Rui stood in the empty living room with a face of thought.

He planned to add something to the house after he won the custody of Jiang Yueting from that family. There should be a TV and a sofa, and Jiang Yueting could sit on the sofa and watch cartoons in the future.

Wen Rui opened the room next to his bedroom.This empty room can be used as Jiang Yueting's bedroom, buy him a table and chair, a small bed, and toys, I don't know what Jiang Yueting likes, let him choose it by himself.

In the next year or so, he will contact Jiang Yueting about his enrollment.Wen Rui asked Jiang Yueting, but the family hadn't arranged for him to go to school yet.

But tomorrow is the 31th and [-]st, and this semester is coming to an end, so the child can only go to school next semester.

Wen Rui took a deep breath, hoping everything goes well.

After Jiang Yueting finished washing, Wen Rui took him to the bedroom to sleep. When the child was undressing, Wen Rui noticed the scar on his slender arm.

Wen Rui's pupils contracted, and he took his hand and rolled up his sleeves. There were a few bruises on his arms, and a large area on his elbow. Jiang Yueting was already white, and those scars were shocking.

Wen Rui took a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice, "He did it all? Does it hurt?"

Jiang Yueting didn't answer, but just wanted to break free from his grasp.

Wen Rui knew that he was cold when he saw a layer of fine particles on his arms, so he quickly put down his sleeves and stuffed the warm water bottle into his arms.

He looked at Jiang Yueting guiltily, he decided to win the custody of the child no matter what this time, he really couldn't stand the other party being abused again and again.

Seeing his pale face, Jiang Yueting suddenly said, "It doesn't hurt."

Wen Rui felt even more uncomfortable when he heard him comfort him. He patted Jiang Yueting's head. Why can't such a sensible child be treated kindly?

Jiang Yueting was exhausted after walking a long distance today, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

Wen Rui checked whether the sliding glass door of the lower bedroom was closed tightly, he was afraid that the wind would come in.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yueting on the bed, and after thinking about it, he found the list Jiang Yueting had left during his appendix operation.

-

Fang Yuwei came to Wen Rui's house at around seven o'clock.

She asked, "Where's Yue Ting?"

Wen Rui poured her a glass of water: "Sit down, he's still resting."

Fang Yuwei looked at the water in front of her with a heavy heart, and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Wen Rui didn't procrastinate and just asked: "Do you think Jiang Hao loves Jiang Yueting?"

Fang Yuwei didn't understand what he meant, she frowned: "Which parent doesn't love their child?"

"Then have you ever wondered why Jiang Yueting hasn't gone to school for two years?"

Fang Yuwei hesitated for a while and said: "I was also puzzled, but he didn't tell me when I asked him. You may not know that this kid has been awkward since he was a child. He probably doesn't like the school environment."

Wen Rui just smiled when she heard her take it for granted: "If your child doesn't want to go to school, won't you let him go?"

Fang Yuwei seemed a little dissatisfied with his aggressiveness.

"Jiang Hao's parents have passed away, Jiang Yueting doesn't go to school and Jiang Hao goes to work, who will take care of Jiang Yueting?"

Fang Yuwei was at a loss for words for a while, and she said angrily after a while: "What are you trying to say?"

Wen Rui put the pile of lists he found yesterday in front of Fang Yuwei: "These are left by Jiang Yueting when he had appendix surgery."

"Why are you showing me this?" Fang Yuwei picked up the list in doubt.

"Jiang Yueting had acute appendicitis at the time, and was locked at home by Jiang Hao and couldn't come out. Jiang Hao was at work, and I sent the child to the hospital. I sent people to find Jiang Hao, but he said that he had something urgent to leave. He was Knowing that my son was going to sign for surgery, he got on the bus and left, and I signed it in the end. If you don’t believe me, you can call the doctor who performed the surgery, and I still have his phone number.”

Fang Yuwei's eyes widened, and she raised her volume: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can a parent treat a child like this?"

Wen Rui looked in the direction of the bedroom and said calmly, "Excuse me, can you keep your voice down? Don't wake up the children."

"You can't help it if you don't believe it. The fact is like this. Jiang Hao told the doctor at the time that he couldn't come back because of an emergency. I didn't think much about it at the time, and just took care of Jiang Yueting. Jiang Hao didn't come back until the [-]th."

"I thought Jiang Hao was on a business trip, but a woman came to him on the third day after Jiang Hao's death. She claimed to be Jiang Hao's girlfriend. She said she couldn't contact Jiang Hao. Later, she went to the hospital to find out about Jiang Hao. news of his death, I want to come to worship him."

"I chatted with her for a while before I realized that Jiang Hao was not on a business trip at all during the National Day, but was traveling with her and her daughter. She also said that Jiang Hao answered a phone call before they got in the car. Ask him what's the matter, Jiang Hao said it's a trivial matter, but as far as I know, the doctor told him to go back and sign for Jiang Yueting on the phone call."

"In his eyes, the life and death of his son is just a trivial matter. Is this kind of person really a good father in your eyes?" Wen Rui handed Fang Yuwei a note with the woman's number on it, "This is her number, you You can call her and check to see if I'm lying."

Fang Yuwei seemed to be frightened, and kept muttering to himself, how is this possible.

Wen Rui said unhurriedly: "That woman knew about Jiang Yueting's existence. She once asked Jiang Hao why he didn't take Jiang Yueting on a trip. Jiang Hao excused that Jiang Yueting didn't want to come out, and lied that he left the child at your home."

Fang Yuwei felt that her mind was in a mess. She wanted to refute Wen Rui, but she didn't know what to say. After a while, she asked: "But since Jiang Hao treats Yue Ting so well, why does Yue Ting cry for him? When I came over that day, he Crying hard."

Wen Rui paused before speaking: "Maybe he wasn't crying for Jiang Hao, he was just afraid of the future."

Fang Yuwei looked at the documents on the table, her eyes were red: "Why did you tell me this?"

Wen Rui said: "I want you to hand over his custody to me."

Fang Yuwei suddenly looked up at him when she heard his words, she said in shock: "What are you talking about!"

"Maybe you think I'm crazy, but I don't think you are qualified to raise him." This is probably the sharpest thing Wen Rui has said since the conversation.

Fang Yuwei asked angrily: "Do you have it?"

Wen Rui said bluntly: "Ms. Fang, you don't care enough for a child who was hurt in childhood."

"Why do you say that?"

"I asked you if your husband beat Jiang Yueting, and your reply was that you didn't know. I don't know if you really didn't know or didn't dare to tell me the truth, but I found it on his elbow and back. The big bruising, he said, was caused by your husband. I think that's why Jiang Yueting ran away from home."

Wen Rui's words were like thunder, and Fang Yuwei froze there, unable to speak for a long time.

She, she really didn't know about this, she stopped Zhou Neng from attacking Yue Ting, she didn't expect... she didn't expect Zhou Neng to be attacked behind the scenes.

Wen Rui saw that her expression didn't look like a fake, she was silent for a while and said: "You can't guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again, can you? You and I both understand why your husband adopted Jiang Yueting. It's not nice to say If not, I don't think he would love children."

Fang Yuwei was powerless to argue, but she still opened her mouth and asked, "Then are you qualified to support him? What capital do you have?"

creak-

The door of the bedroom was suddenly opened, and Jiang Yueting stood there wearing only a single shirt.

Wen Rui immediately stood up and walked towards the child: "Why did you come out without clothes?" He hugged Jiang Yueting, and the child did not resist his embrace at all, but wrapped his arms around his neck.

In an instant, Fang Yuwei knew that she had lost, and Jiang Yueting wouldn't let her hug her. This was the other party's capital.

After the people were settled, Wen Rui came out again.

Fang Yuwei said wearily: "What does Yue Ting mean?"

"He wanted to stay with me."

The expected answer.

Fang Yuwei looked at the boy in front of him and asked, "You are a child yourself, what ability do you have to take care of another child? Do you have money?"

Wen Rui told her about her financial situation.

Fang Yuwei sat blankly for a while and suddenly said, "Why are you being so nice to this child?"

Wen Rui pursed her lips and said, "I was also subjected to domestic violence when I was young."

Needless to say, Fang Yuwei also understood what he meant. She looked at Wen Rui with complicated eyes: "I'm sorry."

"It's over." Wen Rui smiled, "I hope those things will pass for Jiang Yueting too. Can you give me a chance?"

Fang Yuwei twitched the corners of her mouth, and she nodded slightly.

Wen Rui exhaled lightly, and he felt that his breathing was trembling.

"Thank you. But where is your husband..."

Fang Yuwei showed a little self-deprecating meaning: "Don't worry, he will agree, he will have to support Yue Ting."

Wen Rui said: "No, what I want is not only his consent, but also his non-interference." He was really tired, and he was very afraid that the man would blackmail him like Wen Guoqing.

"Don't worry, he won't. You can take pictures of Yue Ting's injuries as evidence, you can..." Fang Yuwei hesitated and said, "Warn him, if he dares to pester you, publish these photos to his unit Go. He is an iron rice bowl, he is reluctant."

Although Zhou Neng always said that he would resign, she knew he would not, because Zhou Neng knew very well that he had no ability to find another stable job.

"And if I force you to divorce, he will definitely not pester you. I am Yueting's aunt, and if I divorce Jiang Hao's inheritance, I will definitely keep it. He is reluctant. Then... I can get the two real estate certificates come out to you."

Wen Rui looked at her in surprise.

Fang Yuwei smiled wryly: "I just want you to keep it for Yue Ting. I can't keep the money, but these two houses must be left to Yue Ting, and I will change the accounts of those two houses to Yue Ting. But that We want to live in the house temporarily, otherwise Zhou Neng will go crazy."

"I can't make a decision, you can ask Jiang Yueting."

Fang Yuwei was a little surprised, what do children know.

"He is more sensible than you think, he can understand these things."
