“I know, I will deal with it,” Huang Zilan replied with his head lowered.

Mother Deng touched her little grandson’s head with distress and muttered, “My poor grandson, he suffered a big accident today. It’s all your fault for being such an irresponsible parent. Oh, how could no one watch him for a day? My little grandson only knows how to play, and his own parents can’t play with him for a while. His father is busy every day and his mother doing business all the time. Who will take care of him in the future?”

Liao Tingyu did not dare to say anything. Liao Ming also heard that his little grandson was hit on the head. After putting his things down, he walked over and saw Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan standing upright and being scolded by Mother Deng.

“What’s the situation? What did the doctor say?” Liao Ming’s current loves were all on his grandson. As for this son, he could be thrown away.

Mother Deng repeated what Liao Tingyu said just now, “The doctor said that we have to take good care of him and keep him away from the wind. If we don’t take good care of the wound, it will become a big bag in the future, and it will hurt when the wind blows.”

“You said you have servant watching the child? Where is it now? As his own parent, how could you don’t even know how to watch the child? It’s such a small county office, and you can’t even take care of a child?” Liao Ming was very angry; these two people were simply too much. How could they let their own son got hurt.

Originally Liao Ming thought, his youngest son and his wife were married couple and they should be able to take care of their own child.

While he and Mother Deng had nothing to do, they would help their youngest son to take care of the child. They also knew, their son was busy with official works, this way, they could lighten the burden on the parent, but now it seemed that they had been helping too much. How hard it was to take care of a child? Just one child and they couldn’t even do it right.

Liao Ming thought about the time when he was struggling to raise a child. Liao Shi would cry incessantly once he woke up in the middle of the night. If he didn’t rock the baby, he would never have a quiet night.

He was busy from morning to night every day. In order to reduce Mother Deng’s burden, he still got up at night to rock the little baby. Mother Deng was weak and needed rest most of the time.

In order to be able to sleep and rock the baby again, his feet developed extraordinary skills.

And what about this young couple? When their son was born, they had servants to take care of him, a wet nurse that nursed the child, and the old couple even volunteered to watch him. His youngest son never knew the hardship of raising a child. He never changed the child’s diaper for a day, but only hugged and kissed him.

In the past, Mother Deng had been persuading him that his youngest son was a scholar and an official, and he should not do such work, so he never talk about it.

But now it seemed that if they had children, they still had to take care of the children themselves.

“In a few days, when the child’s wound is healed, your mother and I will move out to live with your older brother. Although we are not in the mansion, if we hear the news that the child is injured again, you just wait,” Liao Ming said threateningly.

Liao Tingyu nodded quickly, for fear that he would be spanked if he was slow.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I will take good care of my son. I promise, what happened today will never happen again.”

.

That night, two people spent the night with their child.

This was originally Zhao Han’s room, but he, the owner, was very wise and left the space to this family.

He knew without even thinking that his teacher, who had always been extremely calm under all kind of trouble, would definitely be criticized by the two old people today.

Although he really wanted to see his teacher being criticized, for the sake of his own life, he moved himself to the next door, then asked the people who were serving him to leave, and sneaked to the base of the wall to eavesdrop. But he was afraid of being discovered and hurried back.

Although he only heard a little bit, he was very satisfied. Liao Ming’s voice sounded very loud and angry.

The most important thing was that it was his teacher who was being yelled, which made him feel more comfortable.

.

The child’s condition finally stabilized. The old couple were getting older and weaker, so they couldn’t hold on any longer and went back to sleep.

The young couple now had their own space.

Although Huang Zilan stayed up for nearly a night, he still didn’t doze off: “Do you think I, as a mother, have failed my duty miserably? It’s obviously my responsibility, but I didn’t notice him following me. If I had found him earlier, maybe his injury would not have been so severe.”

Liao Tingyu put his arms around Huang Zilan and reflected on himself: “I can’t blame you entirely, it was also my fault as a father. It’s because I failed to fulfill my responsibility. The child is already so old, yet I didn’t even take a good look at him. I was always busy with official duties. Whenever official duties arose, I would let the servant take the child away and let the servant entertain him. That’s why he likes to quietly follow us. It’s my fault for not spending enough time with my child.”

“It’s not just your fault. You are so busy, and I obviously can’t do much, but I always followed you. I could have had more time to spend with our children,” Huang Zilan said.

“Let’s not dwell on it anymore. We must learn from this lesson when caring for our children in the future. If we can take our children with us, we should do instead of letting them play by themselves,” Liao Tingyu said, gently holding Huang Zilan’s shoulders.

“Yes,” Huang Zilan replied in a low voice.
