"Don't cry, it was Mommy's other child who took Mommy away," Xiao Yu Shu said.
"Mommy also likes that child very much. Before, Mommy made mechas and little koi for us, and she made them for that child too," Xiao Yu Shu said in a muffled voice.
"Even if your dad finds Mommy, Mommy might stay with that child for a year, just like us. Mommy loves every child," Xiao Yu Shu continued.
"Waa..." Xiao Cui Cui's emotions collapsed again, and she burst into tears.
Xiao Yu Shu pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But we can keep an account with Mommy. For the days Mommy took her away, when Mommy comes back, she'll have to compensate us for those days!"
"That child took Mommy for a year, so let Mommy accompany you for a year. Adding the year she was supposed to accompany you before, she'll have a total of two years to accompany you," Xiao Yu Shu said again.
Xiao Cui Cui's tears froze. She looked up, her tear-streaked eyes blank and shocked as she looked at Xiao Yu Shu.
Xiao Yu Shu said seriously, "But I thought of a way for you, so you have to pay me for it."
"I don't want money. How about you let Mommy accompany me for two months?"
"There are twelve months in a year. If you let me have two months, you still have ten months left. You've gained a lot," Xiao Yu Shu continued.
This time, not only Xiao Cui Cui was stunned, but even Yu Nong, Madam Yu, and Wei Xing Zhou, who were nearby, were all shocked.
"Holy cow, bookworm, when did your daughter get so smart?"
"This is too calculating, her brain is so sharp!"
Wei Xing Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Is Lu Wan Qing that amazing? She only took care of Shu Shu for a year, and she made her so smart. If she takes care of Cui Cui for two years in the future, won't Cui Cui be exceptionally smart when she leaves?"
"Ten months won't do. Cui Cui needs at least eleven months, and you get one month!" Wei Xing Zhou reacted and quickly ran over, standing next to his Cui Cui. He stared at Xiao Yu Shu, deliberately put on a stern face, and haggled seriously.
"No, it has to be two months, not a bit less," Yu Nong, who had been silent, quickly stepped forward, saying with a hint of urgency.
Lu Wan Qing had told him that one should not be so foolish, but rather smart, or else they would be bullied.
Shu Shu was very smart, so he listened to Shu Shu. If Shu Shu said two months, then it had to be two months. He wanted to help Shu Shu fight for it and not let Shu Shu be bullied by others.
Wei Xing Zhou was also surprised. When did this fool learn to argue? And he was arguing with him!
"It's one month, no, it's half a month!!!" Wei Xing Zhou glared at Xiao Yu Shu, insisting.
Xiao Yu Shu's head buzzed. She stared at Wei Xing Zhou.
Wei Xing Zhou also stared at Yu Shu.
The next moment, Yu Shu pursed her lips and said unhappily, "One month is fine, but you have to give me a set of instruments for studying plants."
She also wanted to study plants like her dad, but she was too young, and the Academy of Sciences instruments wouldn't let her touch them. She knew the Wei family had them, and the Wei family had sent a set to Mommy. If they could give her a set too...
Xiao Yu Shu thought, her fighting spirit burning. She would work hard and become very strong as soon as possible. By then, she wouldn't have to compete with others; she could go to Mommy by herself!
Wei Xing Zhou was also shocked. He stared at the little sprout with wide eyes. This little girl from the Yu family, after being taken care of by Lu Wan Qing for a year, had become too smart.
One month, and she wanted a set of his family's instruments? Dreaming!
However...
Seeing how pitiful the Yu family looked, and this little sprout was Cui Cui's sister, then... he would reluctantly agree.
"I can give you a set of instruments, but I have another condition," Wei Xing Zhou said, deliberately drawing out the suspense.
Xiao Yu Shu suddenly became nervous, "You... what other condition do you have?"
Wei Xing Zhou lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Cui Cui, suddenly happy. He lowered his voice and said, "Since you are so smart, you will surely be amazing in the future. So you have to promise Uncle Wei that you will not bully Cui Cui in the future, and you will protect Cui Cui when something happens!!!"
Xiao Yu Shu: "???"
Xiao Yu Shu: "!!!"
Yu Nong was also shocked. He reacted and quickly said, "Wei Xing Zhou, Shu Shu is only seven years old, she's still a child."
Yu Nong said anxiously, "Shu Shu also needs protection!"
Hearing her father defending her, Xiao Yu Shu couldn't help but curl her lips, happy.
"Okay, I promise you," Xiao Yu Shu said to Wei Xing Zhou.
Wei Xing Zhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately extended his hand, saying excitedly, "Let's pinky swear!"
Xiao Yu Shu: "..."
Wei Xing Zhou was stunned. He looked at the little sprout from the Yu family, and... why did he see contempt in her eyes?
Wei Xing Zhou was bewildered, "In the world of children, isn't it decided by a pinky swear?"
"Let's write a deed, with the deed as proof, and no one can go back on their word!" Xiao Yu Shu said sternly.
Now it was Wei Xing Zhou's turn to be shocked. So formal?
"Okay!" The next moment, Wei Xing Zhou also agreed.
A deed was good. Black and white, whoever goes back on their word is a dog!
Wei Xing Zhou immediately went to find white paper and a black pen, but he couldn't find any? In this high-tech era, most things were replaced by electronics, and few people used white paper and pens.
But it wasn't impossible...
"I'll order some right away," Wei Xing Zhou said.
"Okay," Xiao Yu Shu agreed.
So by the time Xiao Cui Cui came to her senses, she found that her father and Xiao Yu Shu had reached a strange agreement, but... it didn't seem like a loss?
Mommy left for a year, and now she would have to accompany her for two years when she returned, oh no, it was two years minus one month, and one month for Yu Shu.
Xiao Cui Cui looked at Yu Shu. For the first time, she felt that Yu Shu was very smart, just like Mommy, with so many ideas in her head that others couldn't keep up with. Would Yu Shu be as amazing as Mommy when she grew up?
Xiao Cui Cui thought about it and couldn't help but ask, "Yu Shu, when you grow up, will you be as amazing as Mommy?"
At this moment, Xiao Cui Cui looked at Yu Shu with a hint of admiration. She also wanted to become smart and as amazing as Mommy when she grew up!
Xiao Yu Shu was stumped by Cui Cui's question. Would she be as amazing as Mommy when she grew up? She also wanted to.
But... could she?
"I will work hard!" After thinking seriously for a while, Xiao Yu Shu said seriously, "I will study hard and become exceptionally amazing, as amazing as Mommy!"
