Aunt Zhou did not know what had happened, but at the moment, Mumu seemed to be unable to make it clear.

She could only hold the little boy in her arms, comfort him softly, and wipe away his tears.

This time, Mumu was really sad. He cried so sadly and kept shedding tears as if his eyes were a tap, which made people’s hearts ache.

Tang Yulan liked children very much, especially after the birth of Xiyu and Xiangyi. When she saw children, she couldn’t help feeling soft-hearted.

Tang Yulan heard Mumu crying like this, and her heart ached as if she were hearing Xiyu and Xiangyi cry.

Tang Yulan sat next to Aunt Zhou and touched Mumu’s head. “Does the little boy miss his mother?”

When Xiangyi was looking for Su Jian’an, she would also cry the way Mumu did. It was as if he had been abandoned for no reason, and his every cry made people feel sorry for him.

Mumu stopped and raised his head. He looked at Tang Yulan with tears in his eyes and opened his mouth, about to say something, but he choked with sobs and couldn’t speak. In the end, he continued to cry, which made people feel more worried.

“He does miss his mother,” Tang Yulan asked gently, “where is your mom?”

Aunt Zhou had heard about Mumu’s mommy, but since Tang Yulan had already asked about it, she could not stop her, let alone answering the question on behalf of Mumu.

Mumu sobbed for a long time before saying in English, “I’ve lost my mom, and I never saw her. Everyone says that my mommy has gone to heaven.”

Tang Yulan was a little surprised. She looked at Aunt Zhou and wanted to ask her for confirmation.

Aunt Zhou nodded, indicating that Mumu was telling the truth.

Tang Yulan looked at Mumu and felt more sorry for the child.

This child’s fifth birthday had just passed, and he required maternal love the most at this age. However, he told her, in such a tone, that his mommy had already gone to heaven and that he had lost his mommy as if he had already accepted the reality.

“Mumu, don’t cry,” Tang Yulan said, “even if you never saw your mommy, you have to believe that she loves you very much. She doesn’t want you to cry so badly.”

Mumu rubbed his red eyes and said, “Granny Tang, did Mommy tell you this? Do you know my mommy?”

“I don’t know your mommy.” Tang Yulan took the opportunity to comfort the little boy. “But Granny Tang is Uncle Lu’s mommy. No mommy will want her child to be sad. If you don’t believe me, think about Auntie Jian’an. When the babies cry, Auntie Jian’an will be unhappy, won’t she?”

Mumu thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes!”

Tang Yulan continued, “Also, people in heaven can see us. If your mommy sees you crying, she will be as unhappy as Auntie Jian’an.”

Mumu looked up at the sky, and it was still snowing. He suddenly asked, “Granny Tang, can it snow in heaven? Will my mommy feel cold?”

Tang Yulan knew that Mumu was just concerned about his mommy.

For no reason, she felt sad. Then she said soothingly, “No, it’s not cold in heaven. People who live in heaven are very happy.”

Mumu wiped away his tears and laughed. “Then I’ll stop crying.”

Tang Yulan also laughed out. “Good boy.”

When Mumu smiled again, Aunt Zhou’s heartache finally stopped and she felt relieved. She asked Mumu, “You come here again as soon as you went back, right? Have you eaten yet?”

Mumu lowered his head, played his fingers, and did not say anything.

At this time, Dongzi came in and said, “Mumu hasn’t eaten yet.”

“Why didn’t you eat after you went back?” Aunt Zhou asked Mumu, “are you hungry now?”

“…” Mumu did not want to answer, so he lowered his head even more and focused on his fingers. It was obvious that he was trying to avoid the question.

Aunt Zhou knew that Mumu was not an impolite child and that he would not keep silent for no reason.

Aunt Zhou looked at Dongzi confusedly. Before asking what had just happened, she saw Dongzi signaling her to follow him out with his eyes.

Outside, Dongzi told Aunt Zhou everything that had happened just now. Finally, he pleaded, “Coax Mumu, please.”

Even if Dongzi was unwilling to admit it, Mumu did listen to the two old ladies more than to him and Kang Ruicheng.

Aunt Zhou had never expected that Mumu would make such a scene after going back. Then she understood that the little boy just wanted her and Tang Yulan to have a good meal.

Mumu promised Xu Youning that he would protect them, so he would do his best to protect them.

A four-year-old child knew that he had to keep his word, but his Daddy…

Aunt Zhou sighed and agreed to Dongzi’s request. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Mumu.”

The old woman turned back to the house and used a disposable plastic spoon to feed Mumu. “Eat some food first. Don’t starve yourself.”

Mumu obediently opened his mouth. He was not picky at all and directly swallowed the food.

Seeing this, Dongzi asked someone to bring there all the food from the dining room in the old house, and the covers were laid for three.

Aunt Zhou filled a bowl of soup for Mumu and said, “Drink some soup.”

Mumu covered his mouth and said, “I’ll drink only when you and Granny Tang drink!”

Aunt Zhou looked at Dongzi helplessly.

Dongzi admitted defeat and said, “I brought here three sets of tableware, which means that you can eat together.”

He had long guessed that Mumu would use this trick, so he asked someone to bring here three sets of tableware.

Sure enough, better safe than sorry.

Not long after that, Kang Ruicheng called and asked about Mumu’s condition.

Dongzi went out and answered, “He listened to Mrs. Zhou, and he is eating.” After hesitating for a moment, Dongzi continued, “Brother Cheng, I always feel that Mumu is too obedient to that old lady. I’m a little worried. What if Mumu relies on the old lady as much as he relies on Miss Xu?”

“Don’t worry. If the two old ladies go back, A Ning will come back,” Kang Ruicheng said, “do you think Mumu will still remember the old lady when A Ning is with him?”

Dongzi felt that Kang Ruicheng’s words made sense, so he nodded and said, “I see. Then… shall we let Mumu stay with the old lady or take him back?”

“Let him stay with the old lady,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I just looked fiercely at him, so he won’t be willing to go with you.”

Dongzi did not go back. He just ordered some people to guard here and then went out.

In the room, Mumu soon finished eating. Without crying again, he asked Aunt Zhou to wipe his mouth, slid off the chair, and asked the two old ladies, “Granny Zhou, Granny Tang, where will you sleep tonight?”

Aunt Zhou pointed to a room in the yard and said, “We’ll sleep there.”

Mumu ran over to have a look. With a “wow,” he ran back and said, “Granny Zhou, your bed is so big. Can I sleep with you?”

“No, that room is too cold. You will catch a cold,” Aunt Zhou said, “you have your own room, right? Listen to me, sleep in your own room, okay?”

“No,” Mumu refused directly, “Daddy doesn’t sleep with me. I can’t sleep alone. If you don’t want to sleep with me, I’ll sleep in the living room!”

Aunt Zhou smiled helplessly. “Mumu, your daddy won’t agree.”

Mumu pursed his lips mischievously and said confidently, “Leave this to me!”

He was a talented baby!

Aunt Zhou did not know what the little boy would do, so she just smiled and said, “Then let’s talk about it in the evening.”

At about five o’clock in the afternoon, Kang Ruicheng came back. When he heard that Mumu was still with Aunt Zhou, he came over directly.

Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan were sitting on chairs while Mumu was lying prone on a chair in between them. He was talking and laughing with the two old ladies, and the joy on his face could not be hidden.

Kang Ruicheng could not understand why Mumu could get along so well with outsiders.

Seeing Kang Ruicheng, Tang Yulan and Aunt Zhou both put on a slightly different look. Mumu followed the gaze of the two old ladies and also saw his daddy.

Mumu suddenly slid off the chair, opened his arms, and stood in front of Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan. “Daddy, what are you going to do?”

“I won’t do anything to them for the time being,” Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu and ordered, “follow me.”

“No,” Mumu turned his head and said, “I won’t go with you. I won’t eat with you. I won’t listen to you either.”

Kang Ruicheng frowned again and said, “What do you want?”

“I want to eat the dishes cooked by Granny Tang and Granny Zhou!” Mumu shouted loudly, “as for the dishes you ask someone else to cook, I… won’t… eat… at… all…”

“You won’t eat at all? Okay,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I’ll leave you hungry.”

Mumu was not intimidated at all. He sat cross-legged on the chair and snorted toughly as if he were going to be stubborn to the end.

Kang Ruicheng left without looking back. Mumu did not go with him, and he ate nothing for dinner.

It did not matter much to the two old ladies whether to eat nothing for a meal. They could bear to suffer from hunger, but Mumu was too young to starve. Then… he cried from hunger.

Aunt Zhou did not know whether to laugh or cry, and she said, “Mumu, go back to your daddy. He must have asked someone to cook something for you. Listen to me, go back to eat.”

“No!” Mumu turned his head angrily. “I won’t go back even if I starve to death. If I die, I’ll go to find my mommy. I don’t want to live with Daddy anyway!” After that, he cried again.

“…” Aunt Zhou did not know what to say.

At this time, Mumu suddenly slipped off his chair and looked up while walking around the room. He seemed to be looking for something.

He was right. There was indeed a camera.

If his guess was right, his daddy must be watching him through this camera.

Mumu stared at the camera, and his cheeks were bulging.

Kang Ruicheng vaguely guessed what Mumu was going to do and called someone to pay attention to it.

However, it was too late.

Mumu dragged over a stool, picked up half a brick from outside, and threw it directly at the camera.

There was sand on the brick, so after the brick was thrown, the sand fell down into Mumu’s eyes. Also, the brick was about to fall down and hit his head directly.

Mumu rubbed his eyes and was completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Kang Ruicheng, who was watching Mumu through the camera, realized that Mumu would get hurt. He suddenly stood up and ran to the back door.

Dongzi pulled out the walkie-talkie and shouted at the subordinates who were guarding Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan, “Go in and see Mumu!”

That brick was fatal to even adults, let alone a four-year-old child like Mumu.

If the brick was to hit Mumu’s head…

Dongzi did not dare to imagine what would happen.
