Chapter 67 - Children Need Nutrition. They Need to Be Fed
n
n
n
nLin Yi was stunned.
n
nWhen did I say I was going to bring you here?
n
nYou were the one who asked to come, alright?!
n
nYou little brat, how dare you ruin my reputation?
n
n“It’s nice to meet you, it’s nice to meet you.” Cuiping smiled from ear to ear. “We’ll be a family from now on. We’d have to meet each other sooner or later.”
n
n“Yeah, that’s what he said to me.” Qingyan said with a straight face.
n
nLin Yi, “…”
n
nShe was playing me!
n
n“You guys are too much. You should have just come, why did you also buy stuff? It’s too expensive,” Cuiping said gratefully.
n
n“It’s nothing valuable. I didn’t know what the orphanage lacked, so I just bought some stuff.”
n
nCuiping looked at Ji Qingyan, feeling like she was liking her more and more.
n
nShe did not mind Lin Yi’s background, and she was also so caring.
n
nIt was rare to find such a good girl.
n
n“Hey, Old Zhao, go get the goods from the car. I’ll bring them in first.”
n
n“Okay, go in. I’ll be up in a while.”
n
nA few minutes later, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were brought to the third floor.
n
nHowever, as soon as they went up, they heard the sound of crying.
n
n“Mom, why is someone crying? Is it a child from the orphanage?” Lin Yi asked.
n
n“I don’t know who it was. After giving birth, the child was left at the entrance of the orphanage. I didn’t even see the person before they ran away. Thus, I had no choice but to bring the baby in.”
n
n“It was abandoned right after it was born?”
n
n“Yeah, it’s probably not even a year old yet.”
n
nJi Qingyan’s heart was moved when she heard the two of them talking.
n
nShe liked children very much and could not accept such things.
n
nWhen she heard such news, her heart ached.
n
n“Aunt Wang, why don’t we go and take a look? I feel uncomfortable when I hear children crying.”
n
n“Then let’s go and take a look first.” Wang Cuiping said helplessly, “If I cry like this every day. I’m afraid that my throat will be damaged from crying.”
n
nWhen they walked to the third floor, they found a middle-aged woman who looked a few years younger than Wang Cuiping.
n
nThe woman’s name was Liu Juan, and she was a nurse in the orphanage. Although she wasn’t doing it for free, her monthly salary was only 1,000 dollars, which was completely out of proportion to the heavy workload.
n
n“Yo, Yi is back.”
n
nLiu Juan, who was originally anxious, beamed when she saw Lin Yi. “You’re really something. You even brought your girlfriend back.”
n
n“I’ve not been busy recently, so I came back to visit.”
n
n“Take care of yourself when you work outside. Don’t tire yourself out.”
n
n“Got it, Auntie Liu.”
n
n“Old Wang, come and help me for a while. I’m exhausted from cradling the baby. I’ve already warmed up the milk several times, but it’s not drinking,” Liu Juan said.
n
n“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”
n
nCuiping carried the child on the small bed. The baby looked especially pretty, especially her big eyes, which were like the stars in the sky.
n
n“Sure, let me take a look. Maybe I’ll be able to help.”
n
nHowever, reality was often harsh.
n
nThe child was still crying in Cuiping’s hands. It did not seem like it wanted to drink milk at all.
n
nIn the end, it made Cuiping’s arms sore, but there was still no effect.
n
n“Auntie Wang, do you want me to give it a try?” Ji Qingyan asked tentatively.
n
n“No way, can you do such a thing?” Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
n
n“Haven’t you ever seen a pig run before?” Ji Qingyan said. “I’ve seen other people take care of the child before, so it’s a good opportunity for Aunty Wang to rest.”
n
nSeeing that Ji Qingyan was willing to help, Cuiping did not treat her as an outsider and handed the child to her.
n
nSurprisingly, when Ji Qingyan held the child in her arms, she miraculously stopped crying!
n
nEven Ji Qingyan had never thought that she would have such great magic powers.
n
n“See? She stopped crying when she is in my arms,” Ji Qingyan said proudly.
n
n“Not crying is not the main point. The main point is to have her drink the milk.”
n
n“The child has already stopped crying. Do you think this is difficult for me?”
n
nJi Qingyan was full of confidence. Since the child liked her so much, it was naturally not a problem to also feed her the milk.
n
nTaking the bottle from Wang Cuiping’s hand, Ji Qingyan got ready to feed her.
n
nWhen she brought the bottle to her mouth, the child started crying again, even louder than before.
n
nSeeing that the situation was not right, Ji Qingyan put the bottle aside and prepared to pacify the child first.
n
nMiraculously, when the bottle was taken away, the child stopped crying.
n
nJi Qingyan was devastated.
n
n“Then let’s hold her for a while. She’ll probably be able to eat when she’s hungry later,” Wang Cuiping said.
n
nJi Qingyan’s motherly love was overflowing. “Okay, Aunt Wang, you guys go and rest first. I’ll hold her for a while.”
n
n“That’s fine. I’ll go get some water for you guys. You rushed over earlier didn’t even have a sip of water in the between.”
n
n“Thank you, Aunt Wang.”
n
nWang Cuiping left, leaving Ji Qingyan patting the child in her arms, looking like a mother.
n
n“Grandma, Grandma…”
n
nThe child was almost one year old and could already speak simple words.
n
nHearing the child’s words, Ji Qingyan immediately went to get the bottle.
n
nThis little girl finally knew how to eat. Otherwise, she would not know what to do.
n
nHowever, just as Ji Qingyan took the bottle and was about to feed her, she suddenly saw the child in her arms, using her tender little hand to grab her.
n
n“Grandma…”
n
nJi Qingyan was stunned. She didn’t expect the child to want to eat her…
n
n“No, sis doesn’t have that…”
n
nJi Qingyan wanted to stop her, but she was afraid of hurting the child. She was at a loss for what to do.
n
nLin Yi watched the show calmly. It was quite exciting.
n
n“Turn around, don’t look!”
n
n“Alright, I know you’re easily embarrassed, so I’ll go out first.” Lin Yi said. “The child is still young, she needs nutrition. She needs to be fed.”
n
n“How… How am I supposed to feed her? I don’t even have that!”
n
n“It’s okay, I believe in you. I’ll definitely do it.”
n
n“It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not.”
n
nJi Qingyan was both embarrassed and anxious. She was a young girl, and it was embarrassing for her to be grabbed by a child that wanted to suckle, not to mention that Lin Yi had seen it!
n
nShe did not know where to hide now.
n
n“Aunty Wang, Aunty Liu.”
n
nJi Qingyan was at her wit’s end, and she could only call for reinforcements.
n
nThe little guy looked harmless, but she was quite strong.
n
nIt was so painful.
n
nHearing Ji Qingyan’s cry, Cuiping and Liu Juan walked in.
n
nSeeing Ji Qingyan’s clothes all crumpled up, they instantly understood what was going on.
n
nThey were all experienced people, so they all guessed what had happened just now.
n
nJi Qingyan’s face turned red, and she wished that she could find a hole to hide in.
n
nThis was too embarrassing.
n
n“Alright, you guys go out first. I’ll deal with her. You just came back, so don’t waste your energy on this matter,” Liu Juan said.
n
nThe three of them then left helplessly.
n
nWhen they reached Wang Cuiping’s office, they closed the door. The room had a much quieter atmosphere.
n
n“Little Ji, don’t take it to heart,” Wang Cuiping comforted her.
n
n“You’ve never been a mother before. There are some things that you don’t understand. This is the child’s instinct. Yous are so big that it could not help but grab it.”
