"No," said Xia Qingwei as she shook her head.
Lu Man hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup for Xia Qingwei. First, she had a bowl of fish soup. Then, she scooped a bowl of congee and placed the side dishes on the table for Xia Qingwei to eat.
The roommate next door smelled the aroma of breakfast and said, "It smells so good. It's much better than the food in the hospital cafeteria."
Xia Qingwei was staying in a double room. With Lu Man's financial status, a single room was still not enough.
Also, it was good to have a roommate around. If something happened to Xia Qingwei and she was not around, at least a roommate could look after her.
Lu Man asked, "Auntie Chai, have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, yes," said Auntie Chai hurriedly. Although she was hungry, she was too embarrassed to ask for food.
Lu Man scooped a bowl of fish soup for her. "Have some soup. I made it this morning."
"How... how can I accept this?" Auntie Chai waved her hands as she blushed.
"It's okay. Have some. There's more here. If you like it, I can get more for you." Lu Man smiled as she stuffed the bowl into Auntie Chai's hands.
She had originally prepared the bowl for herself. She had not eaten breakfast and had planned to eat it with Xia Qingwei.
Auntie Chai's husband happened to come in after washing the breakfast boxes. When he saw Auntie Chai, he said, "How old are you? Why are you still asking for food like a child?"
Auntie Chai smiled embarrassedly. "It's all because the fish soup is too fresh. Old Xia, you are so lucky to have such a good daughter."
They had a son and two daughters, but all three of them were busy with work. At most, they would take one day off to visit. Even then, the three of them would take turns. Each of them took one day, so there was no way they could cook anything.
"Yes. I'm a burden to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so tired," said Xia Qingwei with a sigh.
"Mom, don't say that." Lu Man sniffed. She could not bear to hear Xia Qingwei say such depressing things. "As long as you are here, I will have a home. Otherwise, I won't have anyone who cares about me. Therefore, you must be well. "
Xia Qingwei's eyes were red as she touched Lu Man's hair.
Yes, her poor daughter, she was the only one left.
Having such a father was no different from not having one.
No, it would be better if he didn't.
"That's right. Lu Man is right. No one is as close as one's own mother. No matter how old a child is, she still needs her own mother to support her. Otherwise, if she is left alone, no one will feel sorry for her even if she is bullied. "Auntie Chai advised from the side.
She had been Xia Qingwei's ward mate for a long time. Although she didn't know much about her family's situation, Lu Man was usually the only one who came to visit Xia Qingwei.
At first, she thought that Xia Qingwei had lost his wife.
Later, from the conversation between Xia Qingwei and Lu Man, she gradually understood that Xia Qingwei was probably divorced. Lu Man's father had reunited with someone else and didn't treat Lu Man very well.
Otherwise, Xia Qingwei wouldn't ask Lu Man if she was doing well every time she visited.
If her biological father treated her well, Xia Qingwei wouldn't be so worried.
It was said that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather. It was absolutely true.
Moreover, Xia Qingwei's health was so poor that she had never seen Lu Man's father visit her. He was really a cold-blooded and heartless man.
"Don't worry. No matter what, Mom will take care of herself so that I can support you," said Xia Qingwei as she pulled herself together.
