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'...
After dealing with Xiao Liu, Xu Weimin originally planned to send Xu Jingui back to work, but he noticed that Xu Jingui's expression was not very natural.
Fearing that his return would expose his identity, they urged Xu Jingui to go home immediately so they could help him get a few days of wedding leave from the food factory.
Xu Jingui didn't know how he got home. Lin Chunyan saw that he looked dazed and asked worriedly, "Son, are you alright?"
Xu Jingui shook his head and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
"Then go back to your room and get some sleep. Hongxia and the others just went out to buy groceries. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
Although she was very worried about Xu Jingui's condition, Lin Chunyan was at least two meters away from him.
She felt that Xu Jingui's current state was very similar to what happened a few years ago. She was inexplicably getting a chill down her spine.
If what she thinks is really true, then that's truly terrifying...
......
Zhang Yumei, Huang Qinqin, and the others got up early this morning and are now feeling a bit listless.
Zhang Yumei suggested, "Qinqin, how about we skip grocery shopping today? We still have some cured meat and potatoes at home, so let's make do with that for now."
"Alright, Mom, you should go back and get some sleep too. You didn't get a good night's sleep either."
Xu Hongxia felt a little upset. The others were chatting, but no one paid any attention to her.
She wanted to join the conversation, but didn't want to speak first. She felt that if she spoke first, she would lose.
As it turned out, they completely ignored her from beginning to end, and now they've all gone back to their rooms!
Xu Hongxia could only sulk in silence, then stomped her feet repeatedly to vent her emotions.
Are we really going to ignore Hongxia?
Huang Qinqin peered through the door at Xu Hongxia outside. Seeing her throwing a tantrum, she asked him with some concern.
Xu Junhui felt that Xu Hongxia had never experienced the harsh realities of society, and that she had actually brought such sensitive books home.
Moreover, when her family members talked to her, she kept arguing that she was lucky this time and there were no problems, but what about next time?
Some things aren't solved just by burning the books today. Xu Hongxia still needs to think things through herself. Even now, she still believes her classmate wouldn't harm her.
If there's a next time, she'll still believe her classmate, and might unintentionally drag her family down with her.
So the most important thing now is to make Xu Hongxia face reality, or at least see through her classmate.
Xu Junhui didn't believe her classmate was unaware that families who could produce such things were more or less connected to foreign countries. These people were no pushovers.
"Don't worry about her, come and lie down, you didn't get much sleep last night."
Fine, since her own brother said she didn't need to worry about it, she really wouldn't care.
......
Two days passed in a flash, and things remained calm. Xu Weiguo told them not to worry too much. Since everything started because he was demoted, the fact that he was still doing well proved that things could be changed.
For the past two days, Xu Weiguo has been investigating where his second aunt had been sold. He went directly to ask his grandfather and the others, but they denied selling his second aunt and kept trying to get rid of him.
So he could only follow Huang Qinqin's hints and try his best to find clues. Now he has a few leads.
Zhang Yumei was preparing gifts for Huang Qinqin's return visit. She had prepared a chicken, ten eggs, a pound of brown sugar, and a steamed sponge cake.
She gave the items to Xu Junhui, asked him to organize them, and then hung them on the bicycle. She then talked to Huang Qinqin.
"Qinqin, if you're going back to your parents' home today, you don't need to rush back. Anyway, Ahui is still on holiday today, so you can stay a little longer."
Over the past two days, Huang Qinqin realized that Zhang Yumei was a really good person. She felt that although she was married, it was no different from when she was at home.
Zhang Yumei respected them greatly and never interfered in how she and Xu Junhui got along.
And today's homecoming gift was also quite generous. Even just bringing a pound of brown sugar and ten eggs would have been enough, but my mother-in-law also prepared a chicken for her.
"Well, but I guess my parents only took half a day off at most, and they'll probably let us go home after lunch."
Huang Qinqin felt that based on her understanding of her parents, they wouldn't be willing to take too much leave, since the longer the leave, the more wages would be deducted.
"It's alright, we'll see how it goes. If your in-laws have invited you for the whole day, you can come back after dinner. If they've only invited you for half a day, then come back earlier."
"Uh-huh!"
......
"Junhui, do you think I should talk to my older brother and tell him not to take the driver's license test at the steel plant?"
Huang Qinqin sat on the back of the bicycle, looking somewhat confused as she asked Xu Junhui.
Xu Junhui knew what she was worried about, because in Huang Qinqin's dream, her family was also implicated by their family, and the first one to get into trouble was Huang Jianguo.
Because Huang Jianguo passed the driver's license exam by ranking first in the practical test.
On one day, when Huang Jianguo was transporting materials, Xu Weimin and his accomplices tampered with the vehicle and bribed the maintenance and inspection personnel, causing the vehicle to overturn due to brake failure during the transport.
Ultimately, because no one discovered him for a long time, he died from excessive blood loss.
However, Xu Junhui felt that since his older brother was able to pass the exam, he must have some talent.
"Qinqin, I think you shouldn't say anything yet. Wait until your brother passes the test, then remind him to personally inspect the vehicle once he's able to transport goods independently."
"Even if my eldest brother doesn't become a driver, if my third uncle and the others want to harm us, they will find a way no matter what. So it's better not to change this situation, at least that way we can be mentally prepared."
“If our brother passes this time, we just need to remind him to always check the vehicle’s safety, and we can avoid it in advance. But if it’s another job, we don’t know how he might try to harm us.”
Huang Qinqin leaned her head weakly against Xu Junhui's back, feeling utterly lost; the dream had been so incredibly vivid.
Even now, thinking about it makes her chest ache. But Xu Junhui's words do make sense; besides, if he hadn't become a driver, her brother might never have met his future sister-in-law.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time. Xu Junhui is right. They have the advantage now because they know in advance what their third uncle's family's methods are for harming them. As long as they take precautions in advance, they can most likely avoid it.
However, Huang Qinqin had a question that no one else had ever mentioned: the things written in the notes did not mention her or her two children's fate.
But her intuition told her that, although it wasn't written in the notes, their fate probably wouldn't be good either...
