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, 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

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 somewhat moved, but he didn’t respond immediately. 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 come 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 me 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 remember, 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 come 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 home, 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 home, 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 summer 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 home."

"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 immediately thanked Old Lady Li.

"Oh, don’t mention it with me, niece! Besides, I didn’t do much to help. You must have noticed when Yunxiu came 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 me, Yunxiu’s mom was talking to me about Yunxiu, saying he was hiding something from her. When she got home, 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 immediately guessed the reason and it turned out to be exactly as you told me and as I suspected,

it was because Yunxiu’s abandonment 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 mess 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 something 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 somewhat moved, but he didn’t respond immediately. 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 come 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 me 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.
