Chapter 130: Chapter 132: This Is Fate
Still innocent, yet laughing cautiously.
Don’t worry, she said in her heart, in our previous life, our family owed you a favor. In this life, I’ll return it to you. I’ll let you grow up carefree, and I’ll let your mother live a long life.
Two people who originally didn’t have a good destined life, no matter how they live, will have a better life than their previous one, right?
Lately, Tang Zhijun was laughing like a fool. Whenever he met someone, he’d say he was about to get married. Others were saying congratulations, but they might be laughing in their hearts. “Tang Zhijun is just marrying a divorcee, and even taking on a burden. This kind of thing, only the old bachelors in the village would want. What’s there to be proud of, even wanting to build a house?”
It was unclear whether it was jealousy or sour grapes, everyone was talking strangely.
Tang Yuxin walked in with a baby in her arms, even though she was small, her strength was not. When she was three years old, she was already able to run and jump, and even learn about medicinal herbs from Chen Zhong. But the child in her arms was also three years old now, and couldn’t even walk properly.
It’s not that there were any issues, rather, the child was simply hungry.
Tang Zhinian extended his hand and took the child from his daughter’s arms. This child belonged to Zhang Xiangcao. He had met her a few times, she was only three years old, but why was she so small?
“Sisi, call him Uncle.”
Tang Yuxin said to Sisi.
Sisi had recently grown accustomed to Tang Yuxin, so she was no longer afraid of her. Seeing Tang Zhinian, she also didn’t act reserved. It might have been because Tang Zhinian looked somewhat similar to Tang Zhijun.
“Uncle…”
She called out sweetly, her voice like a little kitten’s, that could soften anyone’s heart.
“Call him Big Uncle,” Tang Zhinian couldn’t keep a straight face when he saw the child, and couldn’t be harsh either.
“Big Uncle…” Sisi carefully called out, her crescent-shaped eyes were somewhat similar to Tang Yuxin’s when she was small, immediately softening Tang Zhinian’s reluctant heart slightly.
Forget it, it’s all fate.
This just happens to be the Tang family’s fate of not having any descendants.
In the future, it would be enough if this child could perform the filial duties for Zhijun. If a child could call him father, that would also be fine. Taking good care of this child wouldn’t be wrong.
“She’s so thin, isn’t she already three years old?”
Tang Zhinian knew that Zhang Xiangcao’s child was already three years old. In such a small village, how could anyone be ignorant if something happened to someone’s family?
“She’s already three,” Tang Yuxin came over and sat down, propping her little face on the table. When she was a child, she didn’t remember, even if she did, it wouldn’t have been this vivid.
She thought, when she was a child, her father must have held her like this. Back then, she was small and grew up on her father’s shoulders.
If in her previous life, she hadn’t gone to the Wei Family, if she hadn’t chosen to follow her mother, the life she lived wouldn’t be so suffocating. At the very least, she could lead a decent life without shouldering any debts. When she was young, she was repaying Zhang Yong’an’s tuition, and when she grew up, she was paying off an almost endless mortgage.
She slightly tilted her head, her vision momentarily blurry, then immediately clear again.
“Xinxin, do you want to have her checked by your grandfather?”
The more Tang Zhinian held her, the more he felt Sisi was too small. She could hardly feel any flesh, it was as if skin was just covering bone. How could there be such a thin child these days? How was this child raised, and how did she grow? What kind of mother is Zhang Xiangcao to raise a child like this?
