Chapter 104: Returning to Her Parental Home
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Li was very gratified on this.
The two children were a little antisocial to begin with. In the past, when their friends in the village bullied them, they were unwilling to play with them. If this continued, they would become even more antisocial. This was not what Su Li wanted to see.
The three of them played for a while before Su Li asked them to take a shower. They had to rest early tonight and return to the Su family tomorrow.
“Mother!”
Su Li was packing her things when two little figures stuck their heads in.
“What’s wrong?” Su Li asked.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu walked into the house. They glanced at her and said, “We want to sleep with you tonight.”
Su Li did not expect them to make this request and was a little surprised. Ever since He Yufeng returned, these two little fellows had been guarding him. Why did they suddenly think of her tonight?
Seeing that Su Li was silent, He Qingyao widened his big watery eyes and asked pitifully, “Mother, can I?”
Su Li wanted to reject them. It was a little cramped for three people to sleep on her bed, and she couldn’t sleep well with the children. They would always fall off the bed, but when she saw their gazes, her heart softened.
Forget it. They were only three and a half years old. It was normal for them to sleep with their mother.
“Alright, then go and lie on the bed!”
“Yay!” When He Qingmu heard that she had agreed, he was so excited that he kicked off his shoes and crawled onto the bed.
He Qingyao quickly took off his shoes and lay down obediently on the bed, as if he was afraid that Su Li would go back on her word.
Su Li smiled dotingly, thinking to herself that children were indeed children. They were easily satisfied with small things.
She didn’t sleep well the whole night.
Su Li opened her sleepy eyes. There seemed to be something strange on her lips.
She looked down and saw that it was He Qingmu’s little feet!
“…” I knew these two children would not sleep obediently.
She turned her head to look at the window. The sky outside was starting to brighten. It should be around five o’clock.
Su Li removed He Qingmu’s feet and prepared to get up to make breakfast.
“Hehe-” Suddenly, He Qingmu’s laughter came from the bed.
Su Li thought that he had woken up and turned around to look at him. She realized that he was smiling foolishly with his eyes closed and talking in his sleep.
“Uncle, uncle…’
Su Li shook her head helplessly. It seemed like they were still looking forward to returning to the Su family.
After breakfast, they prepared to leave. Su Li brought all the fragrant soap with her. She was prepared to go to town to sell the fragrant soap before returning to her parents’ house.
He Qingyao was not as insensitive as He Qingmu. When he saw Su Li putting on her daily clothes, he could not help but ask.
“Mother, are we going to stay at Uncle’s house for long?”
Su Li squatted down and looked at him at eye level. “That’s right. We might have to stay for a while. Are you willing?
He Qingyao lowered his head and nervously tapped his nails. “I’m willing, but, but what about Father?”
He was most worried about his father. If they were all gone, what would happen to his father if he was alone at home?
Su Li knew that they were filial children and said, “Mother has already asked Aunt Chen Xiang to help cook. Moreover, your father can get out of bed now. I don’t think life will be a big problem.”
Other than their family, no one else knew that He Yufeng could get out of bed. She just wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the people in the old residence.
“Do you want to stay at Uncle’s house with me for a few days?” Su Li asked.
He Qingyao’s small face was filled with conflict. He really wanted to go to his uncle’s house to take a look, but he could not bear to part with his father. If it was in the past, he would have let it go. Now that his father was injured, he was afraid that his father would not be able to take care of himself.
“Mother, why don’t we bring Father along? That way, our family won’t have to be separated.” He Qingyao felt that his idea was great.
If his father went too, then their family could be together again!
When He Qingmu heard this idea, he nodded in agreement. “That’s right,
Mother. Let’s bring Father to Uncle’s house with us!”
Su Li’s face darkened. She had no intention of bringing He Yufeng back to the Su family. Not to mention that it was not suitable for him to move around now, even if he was strong now, she had no intention of bringing him back.
Moreover, He Yufeng did not like the Host to begin with. He might not be willing to go back to her maiden home with her now!
Su Li was unwilling to be too direct, afraid that she would hurt their young hearts. She said tactfully, “Your father wants to stay at home to recuperate.
Moreover, we need someone to take care of these things at home. What if we leave and a thief enters the house?”
Although there was nothing valuable in this dilapidated straw hut, she had bought a lot of new ones. If there was no one at home, she might really be able to attract “thieves”.
He Qingyao glanced around the house and felt that Su Li made sense. Their bed was still padded with newly bought cotton. What if there was no one at home and someone took their cotton?
“If you really can’t bear to part with your father, I’ll go back and stay for a while alone. Take good care of your father at home. I’ll bring both of you back when I have time in the future,” Su Li said.
He Qingmu pouted unhappily. He did not know when the next time would be. He had never seen his grandparents in his life, so he wanted to follow them to take a look.
He Yufeng heard the conversation between the three of them. Ever since the two children heard that they could return to the Su family, they had been excited for a long time. If they could not go because of him this time, the two children would definitely have regrets.
He held onto the side of the bed and slowly got off. “Just follow your mother back to Grandma’s house to play. My body has almost recovered. You don’t have to worry about me.”
He Yufeng smirked and said, “When have I ever lied to you?”
Seeing that He Yufeng did not seem to be lying, He Qingyao said, “Alright then. Father, take good care of yourself at home. We’ll be back soon.”
He Yufeng reached out and patted his head. “Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”
He then looked at Su Li. “Have you packed everything?”
Su Li nodded. “I’m done packing.”
Actually, there was nothing to pack. It was just a few sets of clothes to change into. There was nothing to bring back home, so she planned to buy them on the street.
“That’s good,” He Yufeng said.
Su Li reminded him, “You’d better not get out of bed for the time being. Lie obediently on the bed and pretend to be dead. If others see you get out of bed, all our previous efforts will be in vain.”
He Yufeng nodded honestly. “Alright, I’ll go back to bed now!”
Su Li said to He Qingyao and He Qingmu, “Let’s go. If we delay any longer, we won’t be able to get on the ox cart. Hurry up and say goodbye to your father.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu waved at He Yufeng. “Goodbye, Daddy. Take care of yourself at home.”
He Yufeng nodded and said, “Alright, you have to listen to your mother and be good. Don’t be naughty, understand?”
“Got it!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu replied obediently.
He Yufeng sighed as he watched them leave. He placed his hand on his chest, as if his heart had suddenly become empty..
