"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Her rough husband threatened her while gripping her waist. She had no choice but to beg for mercy, "No, we're not getting a divorce, we'r...
"No, sister-in-law, Qin Zheng must go. He's the matchmaker; how can he not be there for such an important event?"
Tian Xiaohui was displeased upon hearing this.
"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't always liked him and been running to his house every day to help him take care of Grandma Qin, I would have been married long ago. Why would I be an old maid now? Look at people my age, their kids are old enough to run errands, some even have two kids!"
Ye Yun: "..."
Is this something to be celebrated?
"Don't look down on me like that." Tian Xiaohui shook her arm again and said anxiously, "Let's not talk about others, just talk about you, sister-in-law. You're only twenty this year, right? I'm two years older than you. You gave birth on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, didn't you?"
Ye Yun: "..."
She was speechless.
"Alright." Ye Yun couldn't say anything else, so she got up, yawned, and said, "I'll go to the provincial capital this afternoon to see what your brother is busy with and try to get him back."
Tian Xiaohui's face lit up with joy, "Really!"
"Um."
Ye Yun nodded.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Tian Xiaohui was overjoyed and hugged her arm, shaking it repeatedly.
Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh.
A daughter is like a tree that grows up and cannot be kept at home.
Fresh, tender leaves have sprouted on the branches outside the window. A few small birds flutter their wings and land on the branches, chirping and basking in the warm sunshine. Everything is full of life.
When do you plan to take Zheng Song to meet your parents?
"Hmm... Once we've officially met Zheng Song's mother, we should take him to meet my parents..."
...
After discussing the matter with Tian Xiaohui, Ye Yun went to her office to call Qin Zheng's office in the provincial capital, but no one answered after several attempts.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the person wasn't even at the company?
Perhaps he's already on his way back?
But judging from Qin Zheng's style of doing things, even if he were to come back, he would definitely call her first, just like before.
Ye Yun thought for a moment and then called the construction company's guardhouse.
She didn't know Lao Gao's office phone number, so she had the security guard relay the message. The guard told her that neither Lao Gao nor Qin Zheng were in the company.
Ye Yun asked, "Where did they go?"
The gatekeeper simply said, "He went out on some errands."
As for what important matter they were handling, he, as a gatekeeper, had no idea. He only knew that several big bosses had suddenly all returned to the company yesterday and were in a very busy state. They didn't return to the company until midnight yesterday and went out again early the next morning. They were so busy that they were rarely seen.
Ye Yun thanked them and hung up the phone.
Upon learning that Qin Zheng had not returned and was in a very busy state, she called home again, instructing Qin Xiang'e to take good care of Xiao Chuqi, and then set off by bus to the provincial capital.
There are only two buses a day to the provincial capital.
One class is in the morning, and the other is at 3 PM.
The distance from the county town to the provincial capital is not short; it takes more than an hour to drive there. The shuttle bus is slow and stops frequently to pick up passengers along the way. The driver's skills are not very reliable either, and the frequent stops and starts make people feel nauseous and want to vomit.
As soon as she got out of the car, Ye Yun squatted down in the roadside bushes and started vomiting uncontrollably.
A kind woman carrying a child saw that she was in pain and kindly handed her her water bottle so she could rinse her mouth.
Ye Yun waved her hand in polite refusal.
"Thanks."
One should always be wary of others, as human traffickers who abduct women are particularly rampant these days.
Although the eldest sister looks kind, you can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows what kind of heart lies beneath her kind face?
"Oh dear, you look uncomfortable. I've been there, so you should rinse your mouth."
The older sister tried to force the water bag onto her.
