Chapter 107: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (26)
Wen Jin asked, "What is Dad?"
"The birth of each of us requires the union of our parents. Everyone has a father and a mother," said Wenxiu.
"Lin Ziqi doesn't have one."
Wen Jin had limited contact with children her own age. Aside from Lin Ziqi and Li Gaoxuan, there were no other children. The two had been together for two years, and Wen Jin had never mentioned the word "dad."
Wenxiu guessed that Wenjin probably thought that it was normal for some people to have only a father, some only a mother, and some both a father and a mother.
"Lin Ziqi's mother died of illness, just like the little white rabbit you raised before." Wenxiu said.
Wen Jin stopped talking.
Wenxiu glanced at the child in the rearview mirror. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be resisting.
Sure enough, Wen Jin said, "No."
Fortunately, fortunately, these two years of raising the child were not in vain. She thought it would be like what was written in the novel, where the child raised by the heroine with great difficulty would be bribed by his biological father as soon as he saw him.
The system then said: [It's not good for a boy to be too clingy with his mother.]
Wen Xiu asked: [So you mean to let the two of them interact more?]
Although the system is sometimes unreliable, this sentence is correct. Wen Jin is a boy after all, and he needs his father's guidance in some things, just like Lin Xun, although he loves his daughter, still wants to find a mother for her.
In a child's growth process, the roles of father and mother are equally important.
But she would never agree to give custody of Wen Jin to the other party. With only three days of visiting time a week, how could she complete this task?
...
After buying everything and returning home, several cars were gone from the door, but there was a pile of gift boxes at the door.
It’s easy to guess who put it there.
At this time, Sister Guo heard the noise outside the yard. After opening the door and seeing Wenxiu, she hurriedly asked, "Wenxiu, did you put the things piled at your door?"
"I was shocked when I took out the trash." Sister Guo said, "Luckily there's a surveillance camera at your door, otherwise someone would have stolen a few things without even noticing."
Thinking that the man would probably come again, Wenxiu had no choice but to say, "Wenjin's father sent it."
Sister Guo: ???
The two have been neighbors for more than a year, and Wenxiu has never mentioned the child's father.
"Ah..." This made Sister Guo, who was always good at chatting, speechless.
There were still many things to deal with, so Wenxiu went home without saying much to Sister Guo.
After moving the things at the door into the front yard, Wenxiu asked Wenjin to carry the things they bought in from the trunk.
Most of the things Wei Zongquan sent were children's things, such as clothes, shoes, toys, electronic products, and even a children's bicycle that needed to be assembled.
There were so many things that they were piled up in the front yard that there was no place to step.
Looking at this pile of things, Wenxiu felt a little headache.
...
The next morning, Wenxiu was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She had just woken up and was still in her pajamas, frying eggs.
"Wen Jin, are you done washing up?"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Wenxiu thought the food she ordered last night had arrived, so she quickly called out, "Wenjin, the vegetable delivery guy is here. Go open the door and take the cash from the entrance."
Wen Jin had just finished brushing his teeth and hadn't even changed out of his pajamas when he ran downstairs to open the gate to the yard.
The person standing at the door was not the old man who usually delivered vegetables, but a very tall uncle.
Wen Jin recognized at a glance that it was the person who came to see her mother yesterday. Thinking of what her mother said yesterday, Wen Jin only took a glance and slammed the iron door shut.
Wei Zongquan: ...
Before she could even take a few glances at her own son, she was locked outside the gate.
Wenxiu heard the commotion and called out from the restaurant, "Come in if you've got it. The milk is heated up. Remember to clean up the snow cake nest after you finish eating. It rained yesterday and I didn't do it."
Wen Jin walked through the corridor empty-handed, picked up the milk on the dining table and started drinking.
Wenxiu:?
"Where's the food?"
Wen Jin didn't look at her, but Wen Xiu knew that this guy was guilty just by squinting her eyes.
If he’s not the vegetable seller, then who is he?
She walked to the yard, opened the gate, was silent for a moment after seeing the person, and then quickly closed the door.
Someone who was rejected twice: ...
This mother and son are of the same character.
Wenxiu had a headache. Does "pay a formal visit another day" mean coming the next day?
It was not a good idea to keep the person outside the door, so she had to let him in. Fortunately, the other party came alone this time, without a large group of people around him.
Wei Zongquan saw at a glance the gifts delivered yesterday piled up in the yard. Seeing this situation, he probably knew that he was not welcome.
Wenxiu's eyes also fell on the pile of things. She said, "Let's have these things cleared away. Wenjin doesn't need them, and they're taking up space here."
Wenxiu was still in her pajamas, so it was inconvenient for her to entertain guests. After she led Wei Zongquan in, she went upstairs to change her clothes. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she was wearing ordinary long-sleeved shirts and long pants, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
...
Wei Zongquan didn't expect that the interior of the ordinary rural self-built house was actually a different world. It was obvious that Wenxiu was a person with a great taste for life.
The house was immaculately kept, and the abundant greenery everywhere was kept vibrant and well-cared for. The traces of mother and son's daily life were evident, and the scent of home permeated the room.
Wen Jin was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. When he saw Wei Zongquan come in, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
The father had told Wei Zongquan about the child's peculiarity, so he didn't say anything. He was not in a hurry to develop feelings with his son. He just sat on the sofa in the living room, silently looking at each other.
Apparently, even he had to admit that this child looked very much like him, and the way he ate quietly and ignored others was exactly the same.
Wen Jin is also very polite when eating. There is no food residue on his hands or around his lips, and there is no leftover food on the plate after eating.
After finishing breakfast, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and put the used dishes into the kitchen sink.
When he came out, he poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Wei Zongquan.
Wei Zongquan: "...Thank you."
Perhaps his mother had taught him to pour water when guests came, but he just completed the action of pouring water and did not communicate with Wei Zongquan at all.
After that, Wen Jin went upstairs to change clothes by herself.
Wenxiu had already changed her clothes and came down. When she saw Wenjin, she said, "Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out later. It might rain."
When she walked into the corridor, she saw Wei Zongquan sitting on the sofa, so she asked, "Have you had breakfast? Coffee or tea?"
"coffee."
Wenxiu then placed a cup of instant coffee in front of Wei Zongquan and said, "No one in our family drinks coffee, so we only have instant coffee. Please make do with it."
Wei Zongquan didn't say anything, but picked up the coffee and took a sip.
He took out a card from his jacket pocket and placed it on the coffee table.
"Sorry, this is alimony and compensation for all these years."
Wenxiu didn't take it. She glanced at the card and then looked at Wei Zongquan quietly.
Wei Zongquan said: "Take it, it's just compensation, no other conditions."
Wenxiu said, "If you still have the same idea as yesterday, you don't have to give me the things. Please go back."
Wenxiu didn't take the document yesterday, which naturally showed her attitude.
Wei Zongquan was a man of his word at the negotiation table, but faced with such an occasion, he couldn't be tough, so he retreated and said, "If you don't accept yesterday's agreement, then let's change it."
