Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space
Chapter 493 Call Me Mother
"I...I came to see my daughter." Lin Chu looked at her fourth brother in front of her, and he was no longer the spirited person she used to be when they were adventuring together. The Lin family really can change people.
She thought to herself, unsure whether it was meant as a compliment or a criticism.
"Go, have Granny Wang bring Nianqiu here?" Lin Chu instructed Dongxue.
Lin Silang was somewhat dazed: "Nian... Nianqiu?"
Lin Chu sat down in the main seat, took a sip of tea, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I chose her. After all, Qiu Yue has been with me for so many years, and she gave birth to the child. We should leave something to remember her by."
"Yes... little sister, thank you." Lin Silang said gratefully.
Lin Chu waved his hand: "Fourth Brother, don't be in such a hurry to thank me. Did you come here today because you regret giving me the child?"
Lin Silang quickly shook his head, "Little sister, that's not what I meant. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I think you're right. I really don't have the ability to take good care of the child. I came here today, firstly to see Nianqiu, and secondly to tell you that my family has arranged a marriage for me..."
Lin Chu raised an eyebrow. "So fast?"
"Yes, they don't care that I have a child, they only value my character. But I can't let go of Nianqiu in my heart." Lin Silang said, his eyes reddening.
At this moment, Wang came over carrying Nianqiu. The little girl was dressed in pink, and her fluffy short hair was tied into two little buns with pink ribbons. She also had a gold and jade ring around her neck. In a short time, she looked much plumper, and her complexion was much fairer and more delicate, no longer sallow.
When Nianqiu saw Lin Silang, her little eyes lit up, and she reached out to hug him, showing that she hadn't forgotten her father yet.
Seeing this, Lin Silang's heart softened, "My daughter..."
"But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Chu's cough."
"Fourth Brother, if you want to see Nianqiu more often, you are welcome to come. I won't stop you. As for this marriage, it's fine as long as you think it's suitable. But for the sake of the child's mental health, she can only be your niece in the future, not your daughter."
Lin Silang hesitated and nodded, "Little...Little sister, I understand, I will definitely remember, and I will come to see Nianqiu often."
Lin Chu nodded, giving them time to bond with their father.
After Lin Silang left, Lin Chu picked up Nianqiu and whispered, "Little Nianqiu, no matter what, Auntie will always be there for you as you grow up." Nianqiu looked at Lin Chu as if she understood, and touched her face with her little hand.
Looking at Nianqiu's adorable appearance, Lin Chu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and secretly resolved to ensure that Nianqiu would grow up happily.
Not long after, Lin Chu received news that Lin Lao Si's new wife had married into the family. However, this new wife was cunning and mean-spirited, and she controlled Lin Si Lang very strictly. She often threw tantrums and even Lin Lao Tai was no match for her.
Lin Chu frowned upon hearing this, clearly worried about her fourth brother and her family's situation.
Seeing this, Nalan Ming advised, "Wife, there are people watching over the Lin family. If things really don't work out, we can step in. Right now, you just need to take care of our little family and Nianqiu."
Lin Chu nodded, thinking it made sense.
As Nianqiu gradually learned to walk and talk, when she was just learning to speak, she didn't call her aunt but... mother.
Because Wang had a legitimate job and could earn money, her in-laws seemed to want to win her back. Her husband came to make advances several times, but Wang rejected them all. Her former in-laws had no choice but to send their child over, hoping to use the child to win back Wang's heart.
As a mother, she naturally couldn't bring herself to be cruel to her child. However, she kept only the child and kicked her ex-husband out.
Lin Chu didn't make things difficult for Wang Shi. The two children were about the same age, so Nianqiu would have a companion at home.
Wang's son, Wang Bao'er, was a chubby-cheeked boy, two months older than Nianqiu, and he could already call her "Mother."
Nianqiu didn't know what "mother" meant, but when he heard her call her that, he also called Wang Shi "mother".
Wang could only call her "Grandma".
Xiao Nianqiu may be small, but she has a strong temper. Knowing that she had been rejected, she was quite unhappy.
When Lin Chu returned home after finishing her work outside in the evening, the baby toddled into her arms, its two round eyes wide open, and said, "Mommy~ Baby~"
Lin Chu reached out and caught her. Before he could speak, he heard the word "mother" and was stunned. His eyes suddenly reddened.
She and Nalan Ming had been married for a long time, but she hadn't conceived. She knew that she had lost half of her blood while detoxifying Nalan Ming, so she shouldn't get pregnant, but she still felt regretful. Now, hearing Nianqiu call her "mother," she felt a mix of emotions.
Lin Chu hugged Nianqiu tightly and said softly, "My darling, what did you call me?" Nianqiu said in a childish voice, "Mama~." Lin Chu smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.
The next day, Lin Chu was playing with Nianqiu and Bao'er in the backyard when people from the Lin family arrived.
It turned out that Lin Silang had secretly come to see Nianqiu.
He looked haggard. His new wife controlled the money tightly, and he couldn't even afford to buy his daughter a gift when they came to visit. Lin Chu felt sorry for him but also thought he was a spineless coward.
She had some food and supplies prepared and secretly slipped them to Lin Silang, saying, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, Nianqiu is doing very well here."
Lin Silang thanked her profusely, and reluctantly left as he watched Nianqiu play.
As the days went by, Nianqiu became more and more intelligent and clever, and indeed became more and more like Lin Chu. Even Nalan Ming was amazed when he saw her.
That day, Lin Chu was playing with Nian Qiu. The two sat on either side of the grape trellis in the yard, picking grapes and eating them one by one. Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the door. Lin Chu frowned and asked Dong Xue to go and check it out.
A short while later, Dongxue returned and said, "Master, something bad has happened. Fourth Master Lin's wife has come to make a scene, saying that we kidnapped her child."
Lin Chu snorted and told Wang Shi to carry Nianqiu back to the house first.
She led Dongxue out of the courtyard gate, where she saw a woman with disheveled hair and a shrewish appearance, followed by a timid Lin Silang.
"What right do you have to take my husband's child?" the woman shouted.
Lin Chu stepped forward and said, "This child was entrusted to me by Fourth Brother, so how can you say that you've taken him? On the contrary, you've managed Fourth Brother like this, so how dare you act so wildly here?" The woman was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.
"Nonsense! It's clearly you who can't have children and wants to take my husband's daughter for yourself, yet you say it so sweetly."
Lin Chu turned pale with anger. Nalan Ming stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Madam, watch your words. It is none of your business how your wife is doing. Besides, Brother Lin entrusted the child to us for upbringing, and we signed a document. If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame me for not considering our fellow villager relationship and sending you to the authorities."
