Chapter 195 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (21)
Shu Qing bit her lip and couldn't help but ask, "Since you've realized it's a problem with the house, can you resolve it?"
Xia Mingwei raised her eyelids slightly. "Solve it? I advise you to get this straight. The rooms have already been assigned. It's him who disagreed with this decision. What can I do?"
Perhaps because Xia Mingwei was willing to answer her question, Shu Qing took a breath and continued, "Actually, there is a solution! We just need to have Xiao Ba and Bao Bao switch rooms and give that room to Bao Bao!"
Xia Mingwei chuckled and said sarcastically, "I just wanted to see just how thick-skinned you really are, and I didn't expect you to not disappoint me!"
"You want Xiao Ba to give up his room? You really have a wild idea! No, to put it another way, does he even deserve it?"
These words left no room for mercy; it was as if they had thoroughly humiliated Shu Qing and her son.
Shu Qing knew she would be ridiculed for saying these words, but she didn't expect that she would show no mercy to Luo Yefan!
After all, she was Luo Yefan's lawfully married wife, wasn't she?
Now that she's been ridiculed, she's even less likely to give up! Otherwise, she'll have suffered for nothing!
Shu Qing could tell that Xia Mingwei would absolutely not agree to let Xiao Ba give up her room! Therefore, the only way to resolve this was to approach Xiao Ba directly!
As long as she agrees to give up the room, no one can say otherwise! After all, it's her own choice!
Thinking of this, Shu Qing squatted down and said to Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, the baby really likes this room. Can you give it to him?"
Xia Mingwei originally wanted to say something, but thinking that Xiao Ba also needed to grow up, she decided to just watch the show from the sidelines.
"Does he like this room?"
Xiao Ba blinked her eyes and asked innocently.
Seeing that Xiao Ba was willing to talk, Shu Qing quickly changed to a concerned attitude, "He likes it very much!"
After saying that, Shu Qing nudged Shu Baobao's shoulder. Shu Baobao was very perceptive and nodded in agreement, echoing Shu Qing's words.
Xiao Ba looked regretful and shrugged helplessly, "What can I do? I like it too?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Qing felt a lump in her throat.
That brat! What was she thinking when she asked the baby if he liked the room? Was she just teasing them?
Although Xiao Ba tricked her, Shu Qing still refused to give up.
She said, seemingly trying to comfort her, "Xiaoba, you've only just joined this family. Do you really want to cause discord so soon?"
Xia Mingwei, listening from the side, almost applauded Shu Qing's words!
Look at how they talk! It's clearly Shu Baobao who's being unreasonable, but in the end, it's Xiao Ba's fault.
She could guess what Shu Qing was going to say next: that if Xiao Ba didn't give up her room, she would be heartless and it would be bad for family harmony.
But who is Xiao Ba?
It had accompanied Xia Mingwei on so many missions, how could it be so foolish as to give away its own things?
Xiao Ba's eyes widened, her face full of curiosity. "So, Auntie, are you asking me to give him my room?"
The conspiracy turned into an open strategy, and Shu Qing awkwardly withdrew her smile.
After all, some things just don't sound good once they're said clearly!
She took Xiao Ba's hand and said "sincerely" with a look on her face, "Auntie knows you're a good child, you would do this, right?"
Shu Qing stared intently at Xiao Ba, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer from her.
Unfortunately, to her disappointment, Xiao Ba withdrew her hand without any mercy.
"I don't want to! That's my room, Auntie, you'd better find another way!"
Shu Qing was about to go crazy. Did these two not understand human language?
If you ask her to come up with a solution, what solutions can she possibly come up with?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ba gave his own idea.
"Auntie, I think the reason the baby is unhappy is because he doesn't have a room and no one is with him. How about this, either you or the uncle can give up your spot for the baby, then he won't be unhappy!"
After Xiao Ba said this, everyone fell into an unusual silence.
Shu Qing was well aware of this principle, but the problem now was that someone had to make a sacrifice between her and Luo Yefan. Who was willing to do that?
Noticing Shu Qing's intense gaze, Luo Yefan guiltily looked away.
He does like Shu Qing, that's true. He used to have the money, so having a baby like Shu Qing along the way wouldn't have been a problem. But now his family is bankrupt, and he's forced to share a house with someone else. There's no way he'd willingly give up his room!
Seeing that Luo Yefan ignored her, Shu Qing finally gave up.
She bit her lip, as if making a difficult decision, and said, "Mom, where can the baby stay?"
Xia Mingwei pointed to the area by the balcony, "This is all the space we have at home right now, so let him sleep here!"
This space isn't very big; judging by appearances, it's not even big enough to fit a small bed.
"How can anyone sleep in this place?"
Shu Qing's voice trembled slightly with a hint of a sob.
Xia Mingwei, seeing her affected manner, suddenly lost her temper as well.
You should know that during the years before Shu Qing and her son met Luo Yefan abroad, they lived in a slum. Forget about a bed; it was a miracle the roof didn't leak!
Shu Qing didn't have a high level of education and couldn't find a good job. At their poorest, the two of them were practically sleeping on the streets.
Now you're trying to play the victim for her, who's going to believe you?
Xia Ming shrugged. "I already said, either you or he just needs to give up the room! How you allocate it is your own business, I don't care!"
Shu Qing, still unwilling to give up, turned her gaze to Luo Yefan again, only to receive the same result.
Shu Qing had no choice but to comfort Shu Baobao, "Baby, just bear with it for now and sleep here, okay?"
Shu Baobao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, hardly able to believe that these words were coming from his beloved mother.
She always said she loved herself the most, but is this how she treats herself?
But the love she had felt over the years was real, and in the end, feelings prevailed, so Shu Baobao had no choice but to obediently nod.
Seeing that the baby was willing to give in because of her words, Shu Qing felt both wronged and resentful.
She hated Xia Mingwei's ruthlessness and Luo Yefan's indifference, but now she had no choice but to rely on them. Although she didn't know what her fate would be if she stayed in the Luo family, she was certain that leaving the Luo family wouldn't necessarily make things easier for her.
Thinking this way, Xia Mingwei had no choice but to swallow her anger.
But unnoticed by her, a hint of resentment flashed in Shu Baobao's eyes.
