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'...
Upon hearing this question, Chen Zhaodi knew things were going to get bad.
She was afraid Huang Eryuan would directly say that Huang Jianjun and his family had moved out, so she tried to smooth things over by saying, "Jianjun and his family..."
“The couple moved out on their own because their home was too far from the chemical factory where Shengnan worked.”
It's over. . .
Chen Zhaodi was ultimately a step behind Huang Eryuan. Her eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to look at Huang Qinqin's expression.
"You moved out? When did that happen?"
Chen Zhaodi heard Huang Qinqin's voice, but couldn't tell what her current emotion was.
Huang Eryuan continued recklessly, "It's been several days, and I didn't tell you because I thought it wasn't anything important here."
After he finished speaking, Huang Eryuan finally realized something was wrong. It wasn't that he noticed Huang Qinqin's expression was off.
It was because Wang Yingxue, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and called Huang Jianguo out.
Then Huang Jianguo frantically winked at Huang Eryuan, signaling him to stop talking.
He was worried that if he continued talking, Huang Jianjun's life would be in danger!
After listening, Huang Qinqin asked with a dark face, "Mom, you agree to this too?"
"After my second brother and his family move out, do they not plan to live back home anymore?"
When the Mu family previously requested that one of their children take Mu Shengnan's surname, Huang Qinqin didn't think there was any problem with it.
After all, Mu Shengnan is an only child and needs to carry on the Mu family line, so it's normal for her to have this requirement.
Moreover, they don't require all children to have the surname Mu; it's just one of them, which is quite reasonable.
Huang Qinqin also knew that when Mu Shengnan's parents got old, Huang Jianjun would definitely need to take care of them together with Mu Shengnan.
Huang Qinqin even reassured Chen Zhaodi in advance, saying that Huang Jianjun and the others might move to the Mu family home when Mu Shengnan's parents got old.
Because they only had one child, Mu Shengnan.
However, Huang Jianguo and he are still in their family, so this possibility may arise in the future.
However, Huang Qinqin anticipated that Huang Jianjun and his family would move out at least a decade from now.
They've only been married for less than a month, and they've already moved out. Huang Qinqin can't accept it and even feels like she made a mistake in getting married.
Chen Zhaodi said helplessly, "If they live at home, Shengnan's commute to work is indeed too far. If I disagree, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?"
Huang Qinqin nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, that's a great reason, I can accept it."
"If you really moved out because of the long commute to work, can't you go home to live during your days off?"
At this point, Chen Zhaodi became a little more assertive: "Yes! Of course we can!"
"Jianjun and Shengnan both said that they will stay outside when they are working, but will still come back home to stay on weekends and holidays."
"Don't worry, my dear, Mom isn't that indecisive, hahaha."
Huang Qinqin gave a cold, emotionless smirk and asked, "Really?"
Without even thinking, Chen Zhaodi replied, "Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, ask your dad, and your older brother and sister-in-law."
The three people suddenly mentioned by Chen Zhaodi said in unison, "Yes, that's definitely what they said at the time!"
Hearing their firm answers, Huang Qinqin finally raised her head.
Just when Chen Zhaodi and the others thought the matter was over.
Huang Qinqin asked sternly, "If everything you're saying is true, then why aren't Second Brother and the others home today?!"
Boom!
Others felt as if lightning and thunder suddenly struck the sky, and not only did it become dark, but the sky also seemed to collapse.
Yes!
Today is Saturday, why haven't Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan gone home?
Except for Wang Yingxue, the expressions of the other three people changed.
Wang Yingxue glanced at Huang Qinqin discreetly, feeling shocked. This was the first time she had ever seen Huang Qinqin so serious.
Huang Qinqin usually seems very easygoing, making people want to get close to her.
However, when Huang Qinqin gets serious, she exudes a special kind of authority, making people unconsciously obey her.
At this moment, Wang Yingxue dared not refute Huang Qinqin at all, and did not even dare to speak loudly. She also forgot that Huang Qinqin was actually younger than her.
Seeing their expressions change, Huang Qinqin continued, "So, what are you thinking? Are you just going to let them continue living outside?"
"Second Brother has clearly forgotten what he said and what he promised."
Chen Zhaodi opened her mouth, wanting to say something in Huang Jianjun's defense, but she herself felt very upset.
So in the end, all he could manage to say was, "Maybe it's because they just moved this week and are busy settling in, so they don't have time to come back."
Huang Qinqin sighed, pursed her lips, and softened her voice slightly as she said, "Mom, do you even believe what you're saying?"
Chen Zhaodi kept her head down and didn't say anything. Of course she didn't believe it, but apart from this excuse, she couldn't find any other reason to deceive herself.
"Dad, Mom, as a married daughter, I shouldn't interfere in my second brother's affairs."
"It's not that I can't accept my second brother and sister-in-law not living at home, but there should be a limit to everything, right?"
"Although you didn't say it, I guess my second brother and his family must have moved to the vicinity of my second sister-in-law's house, right? It's even possible that they're living directly at my second sister-in-law's house."
"Since you say that your second sister-in-law's commute is far, then she can stay at her parents' house while she's at work. That's fine."
"But when they don't have to work, shouldn't they go home and spend time with you? Not to mention that this was something they promised in the first place."
"You've already broken your promise in the first week after moving out, so what about the rest of the time? Are you just going to pretend this never happened?"
Huang Qinqin actually had something else to say, which was that Chen Zhaodi and the others had now given in on the issue of where to stay.
So, in the future, Huang Jianjun's children might all take the surname Mu.
That's how people are; if they see you as easy to bully and willing to give in, they'll take advantage of you and push their luck.
He will keep testing you. Since you are willing to take a step back, will you be willing to take two or three steps back?
He will only stop when you have nowhere left to retreat.
Huang Qinqin's questions were all very insightful, and Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi couldn't answer them at all.
Or rather, they simply dare not answer these questions.
Because they know the answer to the question is yes, and it's cruel.
Huang Qinqin asked these questions not because she wanted them to answer her.
Her main hope was that Chen Zhaodi and the others could understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Big brother, I'd appreciate it if you could make this trip and call my second brother and sister-in-law back."
“If Second Sister-in-law has something to do and doesn’t want to come back, then Second Brother can come back alone.”
