"I don't believe he's dead." Qu Bai glanced coldly at the two children lying side by side in the stroller, who were not sleeping soundly, and then shook his head again.
The social worker opposite him looked at him understandingly, and muttered skillfully: "Mr. Qu, please be sorry, your elder brother was indeed killed in a car accident. And all the documents on the car, the relevant departments have confirmed that he was indeed killed."
"No!" Qu Bai interrupted the other party. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, pursed his lips, and looked at the other party with some sarcasm, "You misunderstood me."
He didn't believe that person died, not because he couldn't accept the death of his family members. He was his brother, and he believed that there was probably no one in this world who could understand that person better than him.
The social worker looked at him with a puzzled smile. After waiting for a long time, he finally felt that the other party didn't mean to continue explaining, so he had to sort out his thoughts, and then said:
"Mr. Qu, you are now the uncle of these two children. We are not forcing you to adopt these two children. However, whether it is from a legal or emotional and moral point of view, I believe you are willing to raise them until they become adults. After all, They are your nephews, grandsons of your parents, and have a strong blood relationship with you, right?"
Qu Bai didn't respond to the other party, but turned his face slightly, took a little seriousness, and began to look at the two children who were huddled in the small car and were still sleeping soundly. In terms of appearance, they looked very similar, and they were more similar than him and Qu Qing back then. Also look alike.
It's a pity that both of them looked like monkeys that didn't grow up, or bad monkeys with big heads and small limbs.Qu Bai thought to himself, they are not as fat and cute as the children he often saw in the small garden downstairs. The cheeks of these two children are sunken, the skin is yellow, and the limbs look like only bones are left. , The whole looks like he has been starving for a long time.
After a moment, he turned his gaze back, "How old are they?"
"It's more than two years old." The social worker saw that Qu Bai was finally willing to care about the two children, and the smile on his face finally became a little more sincere, which made Qu Bai accept the two children from his heart, rather than forcing him to accept them by law. to be better.
Qu Bai frowned. A two-week-old child looks so small?Then how old are those little meat balls he usually sees rolling around on the road?
"How long have they stayed with you?" Qu Bai asked again.
"Half a month."
"Only half a month?" Qu Bai was surprised. He thought that the two children had been in the social work office for at least half a year. Otherwise, why did the two children have such virtues? They looked like two monkeys who had just been rescued from Africa. .
"..." The social worker smiled awkwardly, understanding where the other party's surprise came from, "They were rescued from the accident scene so...thin, it should be...your brother's living conditions are not very good, and he seems to have Not being good at taking care of young children, it's not that our staff are not caring enough."
As he said that, the social worker seemed to have thought of something, with a terrified expression on his face, and then, as if worried that Qu Bai would refuse to adopt the two children, he immediately added:
"However, he still has some inheritance. Except for the funeral expenses, all of it will be used as the nurturing fund for the two children... We hope that this money can help you reduce the burden on the way to raise the two children. Don't worry, you are raising two children." If they have any difficulties on the way, they can come to us at any time."
While the social worker was talking, he recalled the information he had obtained. Most people would not be happy to let a good young man who has just become financially independent but not married suddenly bear the burden of childcare.
Especially the pair of children were left behind by his brothers who he didn't like to see.
Qu Bai and Qu Qing, who died in a car accident, are twin brothers. However, since Qu Qing failed the college entrance examination five years ago and owed huge debts for no reason, he has never returned since he left home.
A year ago, when their parents passed away, Qu Bai couldn't contact him. Even if he had a chance to persuade him when he first received the case, there are not many left now.
Qu Bai, who had just paid off Qu Qing’s debts from his parents’ car accident insurance compensation; Qu Bai, who had finally finished his hard-earned university and started to be independent; Qu Bai, who was just in his 20s and was playing wantonly, how could it be possible? would be willing to...
well!The social worker sighed quietly in his heart. If possible, he also wanted to find a better home for the two children. Although he was not the first person to handle the two children, he read the piles of information about the two children. In the end, apart from shock, I couldn't find other words to describe my mood at that time.
At this moment, he can only do his best to let the uncles of these two children adopt them voluntarily. If there are relatives who voluntarily raise them, it is better than being forced by law or sent to an orphanage. Besides, these two children are not easy to raise. .
In half a month, everyone in their office has realized this. They are obviously more than two weeks old, but they can’t eat many things. Except for milk and rice porridge, some liquid food, other things are not difficult to digest, or they are difficult to digest. will spit it out.
But what is strange is that from the beginning to the end, the two children never cried.
Generally, children have not seen a familiar face since they woke up, and they have not even seen their father for three full days, so they will cry a few times.But these two children really didn't make a sound, and they all had a little idea of the various reasons.
Combining the health reports of the two children and the inferences from various collected data, he can almost conclude that the two children have not only been taken care of improperly for a long time, but have also been subjected to varying degrees of psychological and physical abuse, resulting in very retarded development. The two rows of millet teeth are not evenly formed, and the development of bones is very slow, and it is difficult to stand upright.
People who don't know will definitely think that they are about one year old, or even younger, who can't even speak, and what's more, maybe they don't have a lot of brains...
So the social worker understood Qu Bai's doubts in his heart, but he couldn't express all the inside information.
"Can't the relatives on their mother's side be contacted?" Qu Bai stared at the two yellow faces, still repulsed in his heart, as long as he thought that these two children were left behind by Qu Qing, his heart would be filled with disgust It was difficult for him to accept all this calmly.
The social worker took Qu Bai's expression into his eyes, was very discouraged, and had already prepared for the worst in his heart, so he replied dryly: "The mother of the two children seems to have died of dystocia, and the column for the mother has always been blank. Sorry we can't do anything."
There was suddenly an awkward silence in the small tea room compartment, Qu Bai stared at the tea cup in front of him, and the green tea reflected his calm to the point of chilling face.
Suddenly, the two children who had been sleeping peacefully groaned twice, and both opened their eyes. The first reaction of the two little guys was to turn their heads to see if the other was still there. After seeing each other, the two The little guy slowly moved his chicken paw-like hands together, holding them gently, and then took the time to look around.
The second time he saw Qu Bai who was also looking at them silently.
The two children trembled suddenly, as if they had been greatly threatened. One of the eye sockets was already covered with mist, but he tried hard not to shed tears, or dared not; the other slowly moved towards his brother. Shrinking in front of him, there was actually such a trace of fear and guard in his movements.
The two children tremblingly called out to Qu Bai: "... Baba, Baba."
Qu Bai: "...!"
The social worker opened his mouth in surprise: "They can talk?!"
Qu Bai turned to look at him, "...you just said that they are over two years old."
Qu Bai turned around and continued to stare at the two children for a long time, until the foggy look at them made the one finally couldn't help crying softly, and the other immediately lay down on top of the crying child, It was both a comforting and a protective gesture.
At this point, Qu Bai was finally sure that the weird sense of disobedience in his heart was not his illusion.
These two children were really afraid of him, or rather afraid of this face that was almost exactly like their father.He frowned slightly, two children who were afraid of their biological father?
He thought about the reason, it couldn't be because this face was so ugly that it could scare a child to tears?Silently sighed from the bottom of my heart, looking at the two children who didn't understand anything, I said softly in a corner of my heart, "I'm an uncle."
The crying child hiccupped suddenly, and with an "uh" sound, he almost passed out, but the painful crying finally stopped.
The other child also crawled back tremblingly. The two children were lying in the cradle, their eyes wide open, and they looked at Qu Bai motionlessly, as if they were confused by something.
What are you confused about?Qu Bai couldn't understand, but the two children's ignorant and clear eyes made Qu Bai's heart tremble suddenly.
"Mr. Qu..." The social worker was stunned by this series of events, and immediately didn't know how to continue the previous topic.
Qu Bai stretched out his hand to stroke the tea cup in front of him, stared down at the tea in the cup, and pondered for a long time before speaking again: "How much of Qu Qing's inheritance is left?"
"What, what?" The social worker didn't respond for a while.
Qu Bai gently pushed his glasses with his hand, looked up at the other party, "How much of Qu Qing's inheritance is left? If I want to support them, at least I have to know how much I will pay, right?"
The social worker looked at Qu Bai in surprise and joy, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he immediately took out a bunch of documents from the briefcase beside him, and put them all in front of him, "Mr. Qu, this is Brother Ling's document." Inheritance statistical form, this is his funeral expenses, and this is the basic situation scale of the two children..."
After Qu Bai had signed his name on all the documents that should be signed, there was only a thin blush on the sun in the sky.
Today, he, Qu Bai, inexplicably takes on the task of raising two monkey-like nephews, and has already come from their father's 7 yuan "inheritance".
Ah, legacy.Qu Bai looked at the document in his hand and laughed silently.
With the help of social workers, Qu Bai transported the two little monkeys lying in the buggy and some of their belongings back to the small apartment left by his parents for more than 20 years.
After the social worker explained the various matters that need to be paid attention to in taking care of the two children, he then enthusiastically told Qu Bai that relevant community workers would come to help him with the transfer of the two children's household registration in the future, and he did not need to bother. Before the two children are seven years old, their staff will regularly follow up the growth of the two children.
bother?follow up?Qu Bai thought, what could be more worrying than suddenly having two unexpected guests in your life?The synonym of follow-up should be surveillance, right?Is it because he is worried that he will treat the two children harshly?
Qu Bai considers himself not a saint, and even if he can't forgive what his brother of the same sibling did, he won't treat the two children harshly. Since he has accepted this burden, even if he doesn't like it, he won't vent his anger on it.
After politely sending off the social worker, Qu Bai met the two "little monkeys" who were quietly lying in the buggy and desperately shrinking their sense of existence, and saw that the two lying there could truly breathe and turn their big heads desperately. The child who secretly stared at him with scary eyes.
Qu Bai suddenly realized that he would really have two more burdens in the future.He really wants to help Qu Qing raise these two children, but Qu Qing...doesn't know where to continue to roam free!
Staring at the buggy for a while, Qu Bai suddenly came back to his senses and saw that the two children in the buggy were also looking at him. He suddenly brought his face close to the two children, and the two children shrank and almost hugged each other in fright. trembling together.
"Ba, Baba..."
Qu Bai adjusted his glasses, frowned, "Call me uncle."
"Su, Suba..."
"uncle."
"Su, Su, Su... Ba."
"..." Qu Bai stared at the two children for a while, feeling even more suspicious. The two children seemed to have more than a little problem of slow development. He felt deep regret in his heart, and felt that his momentary soft-heartedness would bring more troubles. Endless annoyance.
It's just that after careful consideration, even if he didn't want to, after going through the legal process, he still had to help that scumbag Qu Qing raise his child.
He sipped his lips, temporarily gave up correcting the address of the two of them, stood up straight, and looked down at them condescendingly, "If you let me know that you will become a wolf-hearted thing like Qu Qing in the future, I will beat your legs." break!"
The little guys trembled violently, as if they understood what he said, more like a conditioned reflex to the word "beat".
A thought quickly flashed through Qu Bai's mind. Although it was absurd, it was very similar to what that person could do - the way these two children are today, couldn't be caused by Qu Qing's own abuse, right?
The social worker opposite him looked at him understandingly, and muttered skillfully: "Mr. Qu, please be sorry, your elder brother was indeed killed in a car accident. And all the documents on the car, the relevant departments have confirmed that he was indeed killed."
"No!" Qu Bai interrupted the other party. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, pursed his lips, and looked at the other party with some sarcasm, "You misunderstood me."
He didn't believe that person died, not because he couldn't accept the death of his family members. He was his brother, and he believed that there was probably no one in this world who could understand that person better than him.
