Chapter 589: Chapter 590: What Were You Thinking With The Two Kids? Chapter 589: Chapter 590: What Were You Thinking With The Two Kids? Time always flies.
The Tang Family felt that Su Shu and her group had hardly spent a few days at home before they were about to leave.
Everyone was very reluctant to let go. On the eve of their departure, Auntie Song took Su Shuâs hand and shared many heartfelt words.
Tang Husheng also came back that evening, but as a man, he wasnât sure what to say to his daughter-in-law.
He just sat beside his brother-in-law, Zhan An, drinking tea and listening. Whenever Auntie Song said something that struck a chord, he voiced his agreement, âYour auntie is right!â
Su Shu was nearly amused to death by this endearing old manâs comments.
As they chatted, the conversation eventually turned to the two children upstairs.
After dinner, Lu Tong and Little Fatty were taken up to the upstairs room by Zhan Yue to play.
Children enjoy playing together, and considering they would be separated tomorrow, the three short-term little friends made the most of their time to be together.
The three kids were having a blast and were unaware that the adults downstairs were discussing matters concerning them.
Auntie Song said, âYouâre going back this time, and youâre certainly taking Yao Keâs nephew, Lu Tong, with you, right?â
Su Shu nodded, âYao Ke entrusted his child to us to help take care of.â
âDo you two understand what âentrustingâ really means?â Auntie Song hesitated before asking.
Tang Husheng furrowed his brow, âEntrusting is just entrusting, what else could it mean?â
âBrother-in-law, itâs not that simple. Given the current situation, Iâm afraid theyâre still too young and havenât thought it through.â
Seeing the genuine concern in Auntie Songâs eyes, Su Shu smiled and gently patted her hand.
âAuntie, donât worry. Zelin isnât impulsive with his decisions. If heâs set on doing something, heâs thought it through.â
âWhat about you? Have you thought it through? Taking care of a child isnât that simple. The men might have thought it through, but itâs you, the wife, who has to do the caregiving. They agree with a few words, but youâll be the one suffering and toiling. Iâm just worried youâre too young to handle two children.â
âAuntie, itâs okay. Xiaoâai at home is very well-behaved, and Lu Tong is quite sensible too. I can handle taking care of them; donât worry.â
âExactly, the kids are big enough. Iâve seen over the past few days theyâre quite sensible. When Zelin isnât around, having the boy at home might even help you keep an eye on things.â
Su Shu broke into a sweat, thinking itâs not like a dog, whatâs there to keep an eye on.
But she too felt she could handle the situation; she had thought it through before agreeing.
Moreover, she had decided to bring Lu Tong home while at the experimental base on the border.
There was no specific reason; she simply took a liking to the child.
After all, her pockets were never short of food and drink. It wouldnât be a problem to raise not just one more Lu Tong but even ten.
Auntie Song, having moved past the topic of Lu Tong, fell silent for a moment and then remembered another child.
âAlright, since itâs entrusted to you, you must handle it diligently. But what about the other child, Xiaopang? Are you taking him too?â
âThatâŠâ
Thinking of Xiaopang, who was inseparable from Lu Tong all day, Su Shu felt somewhat cooler.
Yes, she could take Lu Tong, but what about Xiaopang?
Should he be taken along, or left in Province B?
Even if left in Province B, should he stay with the Tang Family or be sent to a welfare institution?
These were all difficult questions.
Tang Husheng and Zhan An beside her also sat up, pondering this issue.
