His mother said that his daughter had a strong appetite and loved to pick out the best food and that his wife was useless and did not produce milk. Even if she was fed a lot of eggs and crucian carp, she did not have enough milk to feed the child.
At that time, holding his skinny daughter who was only eight months old but not half as strong as her sister who was born at the same time, Xie Changzheng felt a sense of responsibility as a father.
After a short vacation, Xie Changzheng returned to the army. Missing what his mother had said, Xie Changzheng asked some childless comrades for a lot of special tickets, exchanged them for malted milk, and sent them back to his hometown.
His mother said that his daughter had a big mouth and his wife had no milk. He heard that malted milk was nutritious and could replace breast milk. Xie Changzheng hoped that the next time he went back, he would be able to see a chubby and pretty daughter who would sweetly call him daddy.
The second impression Xie Changzheng had about his daughter was when he saw her for the second time.
At that time, she was already three years old. This girl was thin and small. She didn’t rush over to hug him and call him dad as he imagined. Instead, she hid behind her mother and timidly peeked at him.
That time, Xie Changzheng only stayed at home for two short days. Before he had time to develop a relationship with his wife and daughter, he was urgently summoned away by the army.
In the following few meetings, Xie Changzheng saw his dark, thin, and timid daughter. She had a very dull temper.
When her younger sister Xie Xiuzhu pulled him to act coquettishly, his daughter was afraid of him like a tiger. As long as he approached, she would hide away.
Xie Changzheng thought that maybe his daughter was shy, so he comforted himself by thinking that after he retired, he would have enough time to develop feelings for his daughter.
But who knew that the next time they met, it would be their farewell forever?
In his memory, he was always hiding far away, timidly peeking at his daughter who had become a pile of broken body and flesh.
He always told himself to wait a little longer, but he could never wait for his daughter to hold his hand and sweetly call him daddy.
Later, Xie Changzheng learned the true colors of those people in the Xie family and guessed that his mother’s words about his daughter being picky about food and his wife being useless and not having enough milk were all lies.
Because of his trust in his mother, the intelligence that made him most proud in the past became useless at that moment.
He knew that perhaps the things he sent back to his hometown had never entered the mouths of his wife and daughter from beginning to end.
At that time, his remorse and annoyance were mostly due to guilt because he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father.
But at this moment, seeing his daughter curl up on the hospital bed, bite her lips to suppress her sobs, and call for her mother with tearful eyes, Xie Changzheng’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
He had never understood so clearly as at this moment that the daughter in front of him was not only his responsibility, but also his life.
“Mom is here, Ah Wu, Mom is here.”
Xu Chunxiu’s heart was almost broken by her daughter’s crying.
She held her daughter’s hand tightly. If she was not afraid of delaying the doctor’s treatment of her daughter, she would have hugged her daughter to comfort her.
“The fever has subsided, which is a good thing. Make some porridge for the child that is easy to digest. It would be best if you add some blood-enriching things like brown sugar and red dates.”
“For a while, you adults have to be more careful and be careful not to let the wound get infected again. If the child starts to have a fever again, come to my medical room immediately to find me.”
The doctor took Ah Wu’s temperature and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the child is awake and the temperature has returned to normal. Generally speaking, her life is saved.

Sena Rachma On [QTC] MBDT Chapter 1085
😭 I can’t stop tearing up because of XW. What a pitiful child. 😭😭😭 Although I now pity XCZ, I can’t forget how he didn’t notice how the previously healthy radiant girl he married “suddenly” became so thin, haggard, and aged faster than her fellow hardworking village women “because she’s being lazy and greedy to eat all the good thing”. He’s not only losing his intellectual over his trust on his mother. He lost his eyes, touch senses, brain cells, and heart. He could only see those change in his wife only after XW’s death, his wife got insane, read the investigation report, being reborn, and saw her now.
