Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

His wife pushed him up again and said, "Go out and have a look. It seems that there really is a child's voice."

The dog in the yard kept barking, and Lao Liu's wife was worried.

Seeing his wife getting out of bed and going to the yard, Lao Liu quickly stood up and said, "I'll go. It's so cold, or you'll catch a cold again."

When he walked into the yard, the sky was already turning pale. The big yellow dog saw him coming out and came over wagging its tail. Old Liu yawned and opened the door, but he didn't even have time to close his mouth when he saw Gu Qinghe and Shao Wei.

His eyes fell on the crying child in Shao Wei's arms, and then he glanced at Gu Qinghe. Instead of closing his mouth, his mouth opened even wider. "Is it possible to have a baby so quickly?"

Gu Qinghe knew he had misunderstood when he heard it. He felt a little embarrassed and was about to explain when Shao Wei kicked Lao Liu, "Are you still asleep? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Rubbing his eyes, Lao Liu chuckled twice and apologized to Gu Qinghe, "I was confused after sleeping, please don't mind it, sister."

The few of them had just met not long ago, so there was no feeling of strangeness at all when they met this time.

Old Liu's wife inside also heard the conversation outside, so she put on her clothes and leaned against the door of the main room to watch.

Seeing the child in Shao Wei's arms, she couldn't help but walk over and said, "What a cute child, why are you crying?"

Gu Qinghe had no experience in taking care of children and was not very good at coaxing them. She thought that Shao Wei at least had Luo Feng and should have more experience, but she didn't expect that he just shook the baby dryly after taking it, and the child continued to cry.

When Lao Liu's wife saw the look on their faces, she knew that they definitely didn't know how to coax a child, so she quickly took the child over, coaxed the child softly, and patted the child's back a few times, and soon the crying stopped.

Shao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Liu was still a little confused, but he quickly invited the two to come in, "It's so cold, come inside."

Shao Wei did not hide anything about the baby girl's background and told her everything about the child and the family's actions.

Old Liu clenched his fists as he listened.

His wife's eyes were red as she looked down at the baby who had fallen asleep in the cradle. Poor child, he had to encounter such a misfortune at such a young age.

This hasty visit was really a bit presumptuous. Gu Qinghe and Shao Wei were still thinking about how to start the conversation when Old Liu reacted. He stared at them with his tiger eyes and asked, "Do you mean to let my husband and I raise this child?"

Shao Wei cleared his throat and said, "It depends on what you and your sister-in-law think."

Old Liu glanced at his wife secretly, fearing that she would not dare to refuse to tell the truth in front of the two of them, so he stood up and said, "I will discuss this with my wife."

Shao Wei nodded, "That's natural."

But Lao Liu's wife didn't get up. She looked at the child in her arms and shook her head gently, "No need to discuss, I agree."

She bit her lip, her eyes red, and repeated, "I do."

Old Liu and his wife stood together, looking down at the tender baby. His somewhat honest face softened a lot.

He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and asked solemnly, "It is an honor for both of us that the general trusts us. I just have one question."

Shao Wei nodded, "You ask."

"Will this family suddenly come and take the child away one day?"

He had to ask this question. Old Liu knew his wife's character well. They had indeed lived a very loving life over the years since they got married, but his wife liked children. Sometimes she even discussed with him about taking a risk and having a child, which would be an explanation to the ancestors of his Liu family.

Old Liu didn't believe in those things. He had nothing to learn from the teachings of his ancestors and religions, and he didn't need his wife to take the risk of giving birth to a child for him when she knew that the pregnancy would be life-threatening.

Lao Liu's wife loves children very much, perhaps because of her gentle personality. The children in the village often gather in the yard. She will prepare some snacks of peanuts and melon seeds. The children are playing and making noises here, while she is embroidering by herself, occasionally looking up and smiling at them.

If his wife had feelings for the child and the child was suddenly taken away by someone else, one can imagine how sad she would be. Old Liu really couldn't bear to see such a thing.

Shao Wei answered without hesitation, "If anyone dares to come here to ask for the child, just tell him to come to the general's mansion to find me. Since the child is given to you to raise, no one can take him away."

Now Old Liu couldn't suppress the smile on his face. God was really kind to him and his wife. He gave her a child without letting her suffer.

But this child's experience was indeed pitiful, and the family he met were all beasts.

Old Liu asked the two to stay for breakfast, but there was still a lot of things to do today. Gu Qinghe had not yet gone to see Mrs. Lin to check on the situation. Shao Wei would be leaving for Chizhou tomorrow, and there were too many things to deal with, so there was really no time to waste.

So the two of them could only decline politely, and before leaving, they left some money for Mr. and Mrs. Liu as funds for them to raise the child.

Old Liu naturally didn't want it, but he knew that he would not return what Shao Wei gave him, so he said with a serious expression: "General, don't worry, since this child has been handed over to my husband and me, we will definitely not treat her unfairly. As long as my husband and I have food to eat, we will never let her go hungry."

"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have sent her here."

Shao Wei patted his shoulder and left with Gu Qinghe.

As soon as he saw the two off and closed the door, Lao Liu hurriedly limped to the room, hugged his wife and kissed her on the face, laughing, "We have a daughter now, too."

He looked at the child's little face and felt very happy. "Why do I see that this child's eyes and nose are the same as yours? This must be a gift from God for us."

His wife had no time to chat with him and was only thinking about how to raise the child.

"Sister Wang just gave birth to a baby a few days ago. Can you take the baby to her place so she can help feed it?"

After all, the child is still young, and she is really worried that she can't raise him well, so it would be better to ask someone else for advice.

So the couple did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the child to Wang's house.

Old Liu stayed in the yard chatting with the Wang family's men, while his wife went in with the child to look for Mrs. Wang.

Lao Liu's wife has a good relationship with Sister Wang on weekdays. She even came to visit her on the day Sister Wang gave birth.

Seeing her come in with a child in her arms, looking both happy and worried, Wang's eyes widened, "Is this the child that that bastard Old Liu had with a vixen outside?"

Lao Liu's wife didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained, "This was brought here by a comrade Lao Liu knew in the military camp. He said that the girl in his family had too many children and didn't want to raise them anymore, so he wanted to throw it away, but we felt sorry for it, so we kept it."
