Daniu had to drive the carriage. After he got on the carriage, he handed the baby in his arms to Lu Dasong. At this moment, he was holding it with stiff hands.
Lu Dasong was not used to carrying a baby, especially an Il-month-old baby. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt himself.
Quanquan was already frightened and cried until he was hoarse. He only felt slightly better in Daniu’s arms, but now she started crying again.
Xiaozhen was very anxious. She couldn’t help but cry as well. As she cried, she comforted her brother.
Shu Yu reached out and said, “Give the child to me.’
Lu Dasong hurriedly handed it over and then let out a huge sigh.
Shu Yu first checked the child. Not only did the child pee, but he also looked very hungry.
Moreover, such a young child would easily get into trouble if he was frightened. He had cried for so long that his voice was hoarse.
Shu Yu thought for a moment and said to Daniu, who was driving the carriage outside, “Brother Daniu, this place is close to Shangshi Village. Let’s go back first and ask Eldest Aunt to help make some rice soup or paste for the child to eat before we go to the county town.”
“Alright.” Although Daniu was also very worried about Fourth Aunt, it was more serious now.
The mule carriage drove to a fork in the road. Shu Yu was good at coaxing children.
She took off Quanquan’s diapers. Fortunately, there was still a clean handkerchief in the mule carriage, so she wiped him first.
Quanquan probably felt a little better, and his crying weakened.
Shu Yu shook him gently, patted his back with one hand, and then hummed a gentle tune. The child gradually stopped crying. He pursed his lips and raised his wet eyes to stare at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu smiled at him, and Quanquan also grinned.
The child’s emotions finally stabilized, and Lu Dasong immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Fourth Sister’s family had so many things going out one after another. He was afraid that something would happen to this child. How could Fourth Sister withstand such a blow?
“Sister Yu. vou sing so well.” Xiaozhen raised her head and looked at Shu Yu.
At last, she was not as anxious and uneasy as before. She finally knew that Sister Yu was the missing sister from her second uncle’s family that her mother had mentioned before.
She wanted to see her last time, but something happened at home, so her
Mother didn’t take her to see Sister Yu.
Now, she finally saw her.
Xiaozhen held her brother’s hand and listened to Shu Yu’s tune, feeling a little sleepy.
Shu Yu reached out to caress her forehead and asked her softly, “How did you get this wound on your forehead?”
She didn’t believe that the officer had injured her when he was arresting her. Since Wang Hong was the one who took the lead this time, he had specially waited for her in the village. He would not allow his subordinates to treat the child so violently.
Sure enough, Xiaozhen lowered her head and said softly, “My Grandmother threw it. When my Mother was taken away, my Grandmother beat her up and said that my mother was a jinx who harmed the Yuan family. I wanted to protect Mother, but the Grandmother accidentally hit me.”
At that time, the Grandmother was too scary. She held the stone as if she wanted to fight her Mother to the death.
She instinctively tried to block it, but the stone hit her head.
Fortunately, the official pulled her back in time. The Grandmother could only throw stones. If they had hit her directly, she might have died.
Shu Yu frowned and didn’t say anything. She just touched it gently. Xiaozhen pursed her lips and didn’t cry out in pain, but she couldn’t suppress her gasps.
Shu Yu said in a low voice, “When we go to the county town later, you and Quanquan will go to see a doctor first.”
Xiaozhen pulled her sleeve with her right hand. “Yes.” She shouted..
