Laughing, he stood up and pulled Xiufen along. ”Stop fighting! Sister-in-law Xiufen, I really like this girl. Can I carry her for a while? I'll bring it back to you before I leave. ”

”You came back today and this child doesn't know anything. That stepmother of yours …” ”Oh, I won't say anymore. Can she be happy when you carry the child back?”

Soo Fen hesitated. The main reason was because of Liu Shufang's stepmother. On the surface, she seemed to be hiding something, but her heart was not in the right place.

She also knew that Liu Shufang and her sister had suffered at home, and upon returning home today, she figured that her stepmother would not give her any kind words. She would make another child, so as to not cause any more trouble for Shufang.

”I'm fine.”

Liu Shufang shook her head with a faint smile. In her previous life, she had been somewhat afraid of her stepmother, Zhao Yumei.

”Alright then!” ”Niuniu, you have to listen to me when you go to my aunt's house.”

Seeing that she was determined to take care of the child, Liu Shufang decided not to go, which would put her off. Perhaps she wanted to experience the feeling of having care of a child.

Leading Niuniu away from her home, Liu Shufang saw that they were some distance away from her house. She said that Xiufeng would probably not be able to hear her, so she squatted on the ground and asked the child again.

”Niuniu, tell Auntie the truth. Auntie bought some candy for you, who told you to call me out? Is it your mother? ”

Liu Shufang's question was very tempting, and she did not give up her suspicion of Xiufen.

”No.”

When Niuniu saw her ask this again, she pouted and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

She also knew it was wrong to lie, but she really wanted to eat the candy. It was so sweet!

”Who is that? If you tell Auntie the truth, Auntie will buy you some candy. ”

Liu Shufang kept staring at Niuniu. Children were the simplest. They were originally a piece of white paper. It was adults who dyed this piece of paper in all kinds of colors, causing it to lose its innocence.

”It's Grandmother.”

When Niu Niu spoke the word grandma again, Liu Shufang narrowed her eyes and asked after some thought, ”Which grandma?”

”The grandmother.”

Niuniu blinked her big black eyes and looked up at Liu Shufang as she answered, pouting with eyes full of disdain.

After all, she was not even five years old yet. For the women in the village, even her mother would have to call her grandma, which ignored her previous name. Thus, she felt that it was too stupid for her aunt to not know her grandma's name.

Liu Shufang pursed her lips. She wasn't like a little girl who had a worm in her stomach. Was Grandma's size too big? How did she know which?

He stood up and exchanged a glance with Hai Tao. Ning Hai Tao's dark eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

”Take the child home.”

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Niu Niu. He was tall and strong, but he carried her in his arms. When he faced the child, the fierceness in his eyes was gone. His lips curled up into a gentle smile. The scene was very warm.

”Yes, take her home.”

A hint of understanding flashed across Liu Shufang's clear eyes. She immediately understood what Ning Haitao meant. She grumbled to herself, [Why is she so stubborn now?] If she asked the child questions that she could not answer, she would not be able to answer them all.

Now, other than her, no one else could do such a dirty thing. As long as they confronted her face to face, they would be able to peel off her painting.

The two of them walked around the village with their children in their arms. The Xiufeng family was about 200 meters away from the Liu family. Along the way, they would inevitably meet neighbors. They would smile and greet them in a very intimate manner.

As Liu Shufang continued to introduce them, with each pair saying, ”This is my husband.”, the smile on Hai Tao's face deepened.

When they went back to the Liu household with the child in their arms, they opened the door and saw Zhao Yumei's face beaming with happiness, humming a song while secretly drinking the chicken soup with a spoon. When the couple came back with Niuniu, the spoon fell to the floor.
