Chapter 326 - Must Love Your Mother More (1/2)

”Mommy is not old. She is the most beautiful mommy.” Rainy answered honestly, and Gao Yi smiled. A child naturally had her own unique thinking. At times, it might be weird; but nonetheless, they need to be respected, too.

…

Rainy's little feet landed on the ground, and she held Xia Ruoxin's hand. Xia Ruoxin asked her, perplexed.

”Rainy, why are you not letting me carry you?”

Rainy's feet continued to step forward. ”Uncle said you are tired. He also said that I have grown up, and I should walk on my own.” She looked up, and her eyes had curled into a pair of crescents on her little face. She was an obedient child, and she must listen to what Uncle had told her.

Xia Ruoxin gripped her daughter's hand tightly. Her baby had indeed grown up. She flexed her left elbow. It was true that Rainy was much heavier now, and she was having trouble coping. If Rainy was to put on more weight, she wouldn't be able to carry her anymore.

Gao Yi must have noticed this. He was surprisingly a really considerate and observant man. She felt warmth inside her as though a ray of sunlight was slowly healing her badly damaged heart. It made her believed that happiness was within her grasp.

”Ruoxin. Isn't this Ruoxin?” A voice called out in shock. Xia Ruoxin looked up, and she could recognize the owner of the voice. It was Mrs. Li who had been giving her family's clothes to Xia Ruoxin for laundering. Mrs. Li and the neighbors had been very accommodating and always took care of Xia Ruoxin and Rainy. Even though she did not have the need to send her clothes for laundering, she would still give them to Xia Ruoxin.

”Mrs. Li, it's me.” Xia Ruoxin smiled, moved and sad at the same time. To think that someone here still remembered her. These were strangers who had helped her when she had been driven to a corner.

”You're back. It's good that you're both back.” Mrs. Li wiped her eyes. Look at her. She was already an elderly, and yet she could not control her tears. People would tease her.

”Rainy.” Mrs. Li looked down and called out to the little one who was holding Xia Ruoxin's hand. The child had gained some weight, and she looked so much better. This was good news. Both of them were fine. It's too good to be true. If something were to really happen to this pitiful mother and daughter, things would be too pathetic for them.

Mrs. Li approached them. She bent down and carried Rainy, crying as she reached out to caress Rainy's cheek. The child's face had too much of Xia Ruoxin's features.

”Has the child's illness been cured?” she asked with some difficulty. Rainy had been so young, and she had to stay in the hospital because of her illness. How was her body taking it? Mrs. Li vaguely knew that the child was sick, and Xia Ruoxin had not returned to this place for a few months.

”Yes, she's alright now.” Xia Ruoxin nodded. No one knew the extent of her sacrifice in order for her to be able to say this. However, everything was worth it. She had a healthy daughter in return.

”That's good. That's good.” Mrs. Li let Rainy down and rubbed her head. She had always been fond of the clear distinction between black and white in Rainy's big, round eyes.

”Rainy, remember to love your mother more when you grow up. It has been tough for her. Do you understand?”

”Mmm, I understand.” Rainy remembered Mrs. Li's words. She walked back to Xia Ruoxin and took her hand. She would love her mother very, very much.

After they bid their farewell to Mrs. Li, Xia Ruoxin took Rainy's hand and made their way to their rented apartment. This time, they were checking out of the apartment. It might have been small, but someone else would have a need for it.
