Huang Qinquian, as her name implies, was expected by her parents to grow up diligent, becoming a hardworking person.
But reality often differs from expectations. Among Huang's family'...
Originally, Xu Junhui and the others were happy after the matter between Xu Weimin and Xu Jingui came to an end.
But now the whole family is in a panic, anxiously pacing around Huang Qinqin.
Seeing Huang Qinqin constantly crying, Xu Junhui felt extremely distressed.
"Honey, don't cry. The place my brother and his friends are looking at is too far from here. You're heavily pregnant now, so we won't go there for now, okay?"
"I promise you, as soon as my older brother and the others get back, I'll take you back to your parents' home, okay?"
"Don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you crying."
Zhang Yumei also advised, "Yes, Qinqin, Junhui has a point. How about we don't go this time?"
Huang Qinqin knew that she was too pregnant to travel far. But she felt very wronged when Xu Junhui rejected her.
She couldn't control herself at all. Actually, she didn't really want to go; she just mentioned it to Xu Junhui a couple of days ago.
But Xu Junhui had clearly promised her that he would go with her that day, but after returning yesterday, he suddenly changed his mind and said he wouldn't let her go.
Huang Qinqin felt extremely wronged, as this was the first time Xu Junhui had rejected her, and he had gone back on his word in rejecting her.
Once you've done it once, how far away can the second and third be?
If he dares to go back on his word today, he'll dare to turn the tables and take charge tomorrow.
The more Huang Qinqin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the louder she cried became.
Xu Junhui felt wronged; it wasn't that he was the one who wouldn't let Huang Qinqin go with him.
Instead, Xu Junhui made a special trip to see Chen Zhaodi yesterday to ask what time they would be leaving.
Xu Junhui carefully calculated the time and took Huang Qinqin there.
But when Chen Zhaodi heard that Huang Qinqin also wanted to go, she immediately refused.
Chen Zhaodi said seriously, "Junhui, I know you're good to Qinqin, but sometimes you have to refuse when you should."
“Look at Qinqin, she’s almost five months pregnant now, and she’s twins. It takes more than two hours to get to Wangjia Village from here by bike.”
"Isn't this playing with her health? Go back and tell Qinqin that she's not going this time."
After saying that, Chen Zhaodi added, "Ahem, by the way, remember, don't say that I didn't let her go. Just say you were worried, okay?"
Xu Junhui recalled yesterday's conversation and felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering.
Xu Junhui originally wanted to try to change things. After returning yesterday, he secretly discussed with Zhang Yumei, hoping that Zhang Yumei would step in and refuse Huang Qinqin.
Then he failed and was instead scolded by Zhang Yumei.
Zhang Yumei knew immediately that she couldn't get involved in this matter, not to mention that she had never intended to refuse Huang Qinqin in the first place.
Even Chen Zhaodi didn't dare let Huang Qinqin know about the mother-in-law's attitude; it was because she didn't want Huang Qinqin to go.
Zhang Yumei dared not take the blame. What if Huang Qinqin disliked her?
So after going around in circles, Xu Junhui had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Huang Qinqin.
Just when Xu Junhui was at a loss, Xu Weiguo stepped in.
"Qinqin, don't be sad, Dad has thought of a way for you. I guarantee you can go with your in-laws tomorrow!"
Huang Qinqin asked with some doubt, "Really? Really?"
"Of course, I always keep my word, unlike Junhui."
Xu Weiguo proudly held his head high, making assurances to Huang Qinqin while also taking a jab at Xu Junhui.
Zhang Yuyu knew that Xu Junhui wasn't really going back on his word, but the others didn't.
So when they saw Huang Qinqin crying at noon today, they all felt that Xu Junhui had gone too far.
However, to clear Xu Junhui's name, they would have to implicate his mother-in-law. After much consideration, Zhang Yumei decided it was best to let Xu Junhui take the blame.
Xu Junhui didn't care about his father scolding him; he only cared whether Xu Weiguo had really come up with a solution.
"Dad, have you thought of any ideas?"
Xu Weiguo didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "Since we're worried about the distance being too far and the time it would take to cycle there, we can drive."
“I remember Qinqin’s older brother is a driver, right? I can borrow a car from my workplace, and then Qinqin’s older brother can drive us there.”
"So? Isn't my idea great?"
It's really great. Xu Junhui is sure that even if Chen Zhaodi were here, she would agree.
He quickly coaxed Huang Qinqin: "Honey, look, we'll ask Dad to help us borrow a car, and tomorrow my older brother will drive us there, so you can come along."
"Please don't cry, okay?"
Huang Qinqin slowly stopped crying. Zhang Yumei immediately took a hot towel to wipe Huang Qinqin's face and apply it to her eyes.
After calming Huang Qinqin down, Xu Weiguo and Chen Ming went back to work and borrowed a car on the way.
Xu Junhui also rode his bike to take Huang Qinqin to work, but Huang Qinqin, whether she was still a little angry or something, didn't really pay attention to Xu Junhui.
After they left, the people from the neighboring yard came out and started discussing among themselves.
They heard the noise when Huang Qinqin started crying.
I originally thought that the Xu family couldn't stand Huang Qinqin, so they were disciplining her.
When they finally moved their stools and stood up to watch the commotion, they discovered that it was actually a whole group of Xu family members surrounding Huang Qinqin and trying to coax her.
"The Xu family's daughter-in-law next door must have been incredibly lucky in her past life. Since she married into the family, I've never seen her suffer any mistreatment!"
"Sigh, let alone being mistreated, I've never seen her do much work either. When she first married into the family, I would sometimes see her buying groceries, but later she didn't even need to do that anymore."
"Yes, do you see any family where the daughter-in-law cries, and the parents-in-law all work together to comfort her?"
Some people thought they were exaggerating and said sourly, "It's only because she's pregnant, otherwise she would definitely be in big trouble."
Immediately, someone retorted, "Let me ask you, did you receive this treatment when you were pregnant? She's just lucky."
"Yeah, didn't you hear what they were saying just now?"
"They actually planned to borrow a car for Huang Qinqin to go with her family to her hometown!"
"Good heavens, I never know if I'll ever get to ride in a car in my lifetime!"
"Sigh, don't say anything. Who can blame him? He's the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. Borrowing a car is a piece of cake for him."
"By the way, have you heard? It's said that his family member is about to be promoted from deputy director to director!"
"What? Really?"
"I heard about it too..."
Seeing them discussing so enthusiastically, Lin Xiaoya, who was washing clothes in the yard, looked on with envy.
I couldn't help but think to myself: If only I were half as lucky as Huang Qinqin...
