Ah Yu said, “If we don’t encounter anything serious, I can resolve it. Mother, don’t worry about me.”
However, Liu Shi did not relax her brows. Instead, she said, “Do you think that Mother is very useless? Now that your Grandma isn’t at home, there aren’t many people who can come up with ideas. If you really encounter any difficulties, we might not be able to really help you. However, having a listening ear will make your mood better. Otherwise, everyone will be worried if you frown like this.”
“It’s really nothing. It’s just a small matter. I’ll settle it quickly.” All Yu patted Liu Shi’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Mother, don’t worry. Who am I? I’m the omnipotent Ah Yu. Moreover, Big Brother All You is helping me. Behind him is the entire Duke Yong Manor. Do you know how powerful the Duke Yong Manor is?”
Liu Shi: “How would 1 not know that there are people supporting you? But according to the characters of the two of you, you definitely won’t look to the adults for anything you can resolve yourself, let alone the Duke’s Estate. Listen to Mother, you have to tell us if there’s anything. Otherwise, we won’t be prepared and won’t know how to help you.”
“I know, Mother. It’s getting late. Rest early. Big Brother and the others should be back late today. With Sister-in-law watching over them, don’t worry about anything else.”
“Mother isn’t tired.” Liu Shi smiled. Coincidentally, two servants came to ask about the things they were going to buy tomorrow, so Liu Shi went to give them some instructions. When she turned around, she realized that Ah Yu had already returned to her room.
She thought for a moment and turned to the kitchen to ask the kitchen to leave hot soup for Ah Yu so that she would not wake up thirsty at night.
When Liu Shi returned to her room, Zhu’er was already lying down. Only his head was exposed, and his eyes were wide open.
“Mother, why aren’t you asleep? Are you worried about Big Sister?” Zhu’er asked in a childish voice.
Zhu’er was only four years old now, about the same age as Ah Yu when she came to the Wang Family. However, he had been by Liu Shi’s side since he was young and was carefully raised by her.
There was an obvious inexperience on the child’s face.
Liu Shi thought of Ah Yu when she was young and her heart ached even more. When that child first arrived at home, she was really sensible. Moreover, she knew many things at a young age. Until now, she still liked steamed buns the most. It could be seen that she had really led a bad life in the past.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Shi could not get over the hurdle in her heart. She always felt that she owed Ah Yu too much. Even if her past experiences had nothing to do with her, she still felt that she owed Ah Yu too much and wanted to give her something better.
“I’m not worried about your Big Sister. Your Big Sister is a capable person. Although she’s young now, she’s more capable than many of us adults.” Liu Shi tried her best to hide the worry on her face and said to Zhu’er in a slow tone, “Mother just feels that your Big Sister is too sensible sometimes. She doesn’t want her family to worry about her. If anything happens, she’ll resolve it herself and won’t give her family a chance to help at all. But isn’t the role of family to accompany her?”
Zhu’er blinked and said, “But Mother, why don’t you think about what Big Sister is thinking? Perhaps in Big Sister’s opinion, if her family is safe, happy, and healthy, she can do many things in peace. If her family is happy, she won’t have any additional worries.. Won’t that also reflect the role of a family?”
