From now on, she must supervise to ensure that Shen Yunxiu treats Cui Xiaokui and her family well, and if she notices anything amiss, she has to bring Shen Yunxiu back on the right path,
or else, even if she doesn’t consider how to face Captain Cui, it would be hard for her to hold her head high in front of Kang Li and Luo Yanqing.
After all, they are brought over by her son Xiao Loh En’s godfather and godmother, and out of trust in her, the two young people asked her for this favor. If Shen Yunxiu reneges on his promise, it would be a slap in her face!
Chapter 990
Thinking this, Old Lady Li said to Captain Cui, "Older Brother Cui, just listen to Yunxiu’s mom and Old Loh from my family, leave Xiao Kui and her family in Hu City. I can assure you here,
I’ll supervise Yunxiu well. If he dares to wrong Xiao Kui, I’ll be the bad guy and let Old Lu sever ties with him and recognize Xiao Kui as a goddaughter to stay with the Shen family."
Captain Cui looked sowhat moved, but he didn’t respond imdiately. Instead, he asked his daughter, "What do you think? You’ve heard what Shen Yunxiu and your mother-in-law have said. If you want to stay with the two kids, I’ll support you... If not, we’ll co up with another plan."
Raising her head, Cui Xiaokui looked at Shen Yunxiu with tear-filled eyes, "I’m staying with the kids... Are you sure you’ll treat us well? You won’t ignore all day, you won’t neglect Xiao Hai and the others?" During the period when Shen Yunxiu learned his college entrance exam scores and didn’t receive an admission letter, there were several days when he hardly spoke to Cui Xiaokui or interacted with the two kids.
He would either lay on the bed to rest or wander around alone, all in all, giving Cui Xiaokui an uncomfortable feeling.
Hence, there were Cui Xiaokui’s two consecutive questions.
Shen Yunxiu replied, "No, I won’t."
Upon hearing this, Cui Xiaokui looked at her two children, pursed her lips, and turned her gaze to Captain Cui and her third brother, Cui Yaping, "Dad, Third Brother, I’ll stay. I don’t want the two kids to be without a father..." Saying this, the tears that had stopped in Cui Xiaokui’s eyes fell again.
"Alright! If you want to stay, then stay. Just rember, if you’re wronged, call the team office, and your dad, your mom, and your brothers will stand up for you!"
Captain Cui reminded Cui Xiaokui.
"Okay."
Cui Xiaokui nodded with tears streaming down.
Captain Cui said, "In the afternoon, after you and Shen Yunxiu get the marriage certificate, your dad and Third Brother will head back."
Cui Xiaokui asked, "Can you stay for a few more days?" Her eyes clearly showing unease.
Mrs. Shen said, "In-laws, it’s not easy to co all the way to Hu City, why don’t you stay for a couple more days and let Yunxiu show you around."
"No," Captain Cui shook his head, "Her mother is still sick at ho, I can’t be at ease if I don’t go back." Before coming to Hu City, Captain Cui had grabbed the household registration proof from ho, thinking it might be useful.
Thus, there’s no issue with Shen Yunxiu and Cui Xiaokui registering for the marriage certificate in the afternoon.
However, the household registration for Cui Xiaokui and her family must remain in the countryside, on the Cui family’s household register, unless Cui Xiaokui later finds a job in Hu City, or through the sumr college entrance exam, gets into a university in Hu City, then transferring their household registration wouldn’t be difficult.
...
After having lunch, Mrs. Shen proposed to leave, and she, along with Shen Yunxiu, took Captain Cui and Cui Yaping, Cui Xiaokui, and her family away from the Loh family. Before leaving the door, Captain Cui handed over the money for the soft sleeper tickets they used coming over to Kang Li, who shook her head and refused to accept it without thinking.
Being neighbors in the village, and since she and Luo Yanqing are not short on money, they treated it as a token of respect for their elders!
Kang Li said, "Uncle Cui, then my husband and I won’t accompany you any further. When you get back to our place, please say hello to my dad so that I know you’ve arrived safely."
Captain Cui replied, "Sure! Once I’m back in the village, I’ll go to your house."
Kang Li lowered her voice, "Uncle Cui, rest assured about Xiao Kui. Aunt Li will help take care of them, and if I have the chance to visit Hu City, I’ll also stop by and check on Xiao Kui and her family, so you can be at ease at ho."
"Thank you, my girl!" Captain Cui wiped the corner of his eyes, nodded, and waved at Kang Li, "It’s cold outside, go back inside, I’ll be on my way!"
Kang Li said, "Be safe on the train, Uncle Cui!" Watching Captain Cui’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, Kang Li raised her voice in reminder.
"Got it, good girl, go inside now!"
Turning around, Captain Cui waved at Kang Li once more, retracted his gaze, and continued walking ahead.
In the living room.
"Aunt Li, I really didn’t expect things with Xiao Kui to go so smoothly, thank you!"
Upon returning to the living room, Kang Li imdiately thanked Old Lady Li.
"Oh, don’t ntion it with , niece! Besides, I didn’t do much to help. You must have noticed when Yunxiu ca into the living room, there were two obvious slap marks on his face."
Hearing Old Lady Li’s words, Kang Li nodded and then looked puzzled, "What happened there?"
Old Lady Li explained, "His mom hit him. Before I went to Yunxiu’s house, or rather, before you called , Yunxiu’s mom was talking to about Yunxiu, saying he was hiding sothing from her. When she got ho, I don’t know how the mother and son talked,
but when I got there, I saw the slap marks on Yunxiu’s face. I almost imdiately guessed the reason and it turned out to be exactly as you told and as I suspected,
it was because Yunxiu’s abandonnt of his wife and kids was discovered by his mom. In a fit of anger, she slapped him twice."
Kang Li said, "Professor Lu has very upright views, she seems like she’ll be a good mother-in-law."
"Old Lu is indeed a good person. With her in charge, Yunxiu wouldn’t dare ss around again," Old Lady Li said warmly, "Yunxiu used to be a model child in others’ eyes,
polite and personable, I never thought he’d do sothing like abandoning his wife and children. Fortunately, he’s acknowledged his mistake and sincerely repented, or else he would have completely ruined his parents’ reputation!"
Captain Cui looked sowhat moved, but he didn’t respond imdiately. Instead, he asked his daughter, "What do you think? You’ve heard what Shen Yunxiu and your mother-in-law have said. If you want to stay with the two kids, I’ll support you... If not, we’ll co up with another plan."
Raising her head, Cui Xiaokui looked at Shen Yunxiu with tear-filled eyes, "I’m staying with the kids... Are you sure you’ll treat us well? You won’t ignore all day, you won’t neglect Xiao Hai and the others?" During the period when Shen Yunxiu learned his college entrance exam scores and didn’t receive an admission letter, there were several days when he hardly spoke to Cui Xiaokui or interacted with the two kids.
