Chapter 221: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Battle 6: I feel like they were drugged and want to send...

Chu Lingze did not follow him in. Family disgrace should not be made public. If a scene were to break out in such a place, even if he tore off his face and replaced it with a city wall, he would not be able to stop the mocking and contemptuous gazes of others.

He could only acquiesce to what happened and allow the situation to slide further towards the edge of getting out of control.

He would rather the Shan mother and son come to his house and make a scene after they wake up than embarrass themselves at the train station.

He stood on the street on a midsummer night. The hot wind made him sweat all over, but he felt very cold.

He had to think about a question: with a sister like this and a mother like this, was it necessary for him to carry the burden for them?

The answer is almost certainly yes, because he had no choice - it was his sister who married Shan Yong to save their mother, and in traditional concepts, he, the eldest son and brother, should have taken on this responsibility.

He silently clenched his fists, turned around and went back, pretending not to know what happened tonight.

It was almost ten o'clock when Chu Lingyi finally came back, followed by her mother, who was holding her sleeping child in her arms.

Chu Lingze lay on the bed, listening to the footsteps outside the door, silently closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Father Chu was completely oblivious to all this. He had no idea where the Shan family mother and son had gone, and had been sitting in the main hall waiting for news. Seeing this, he hurried over to them, "Where's the mother-in-law? Ayong isn't here either, and all the luggage has been taken."

"I went back." Mother Chu lied with a smile, "How can I stay here forever? I still have to farm at home."

Father Chu didn't know whether he was truly naive or pretending to be childish. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's good that you go back. Was it you who persuaded me to do this?"

"Lingyi persuaded her to do so. She has apologized to her mother-in-law." Mother Chu tugged at her daughter's sleeve.

Chu Lingyi quickly squeezed out a few tears and said a few nice words to coax her father.

As for whether the Shan family mother and son would make a comeback, she was not worried. She had already discussed it with her mother on the way back. Their yard was spacious, so they would go around the neighborhood to see if there was anyone willing to switch places with them, even if it meant giving them a little financial subsidy.

In short, as long as the Shan family mother and son can't find them, as long as she is still alive, there are always more solutions than problems.

Father Chu didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly urged Mother Chu to take a bath and go to bed: "I have already decided on that job. I will go to work the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the radio station to have a look. If it doesn't work out, then forget it. Anyway, the burden will not be so heavy now that my in-laws and son-in-law are gone."

Mother Chu smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, the old couple arrived at the radio station. Director Ma was not there, so Yao Miaomiao received them.

Yao Miaomiao asked curiously, "I didn't hear Director Ma say that the station is hiring. Did you make a mistake?"

"You're right, he told me that himself." Mother Chu was confused. How could this young daughter-in-law be so ignorant? What kind of status does Director Ma have? Could he fool her?

Yao Miaomiao had been living in this alley recently, had met Chu's mother several times, and knew the Chu family's situation. She kindly reminded them, "There haven't been any informal workers in the station. You'd better ask clearly to avoid disputes later if there are any problems."

"You are really unreasonable, young man. Doesn't your director know more than you?" Mother Chu rolled her eyes and pulled her husband out of the office.

The old couple ran into Ye Jun in the corridor. Chu's mother didn't recognize her, so she didn't say hello. It wasn't until they left the radio station building that Chu's mother muttered, "The young women at this station are all so arrogant. Not to mention Director Yao, who keeps calling my job a joke. That woman just now was even worse. She rolled her eyes at me. I don't know her, and I haven't offended her. I don't know where her anger comes from. What's wrong with her?"

Father Chu still knew a little bit. When he came to see Master Ma for the first time, he ruined the good relationship between Master Ma and this woman.

At that time, Director Ma was still hesitant, saying that there was no job arrangement, and he did not force it. But the next day, Director Ma said that there was an arrangement and asked his wife to go and take a look.

Judging from his wife's reaction today, she probably didn't know about Director Ma's dirty deeds. He didn't like gossiping behind people's backs, so he didn't mention it.

He just gently advised, "Don't meddle in other people's affairs. In my opinion, Director Yao is right. It's better to forget about this unclear job. If anything happens in the future, you won't be able to explain it clearly."

Chu's mother was unhappy. She was planning to find someone to exchange houses with her daughter, but how could she do that without money?

She gritted her teeth and insisted: "No, I want to go to work. I just need to sweep the floor and wipe the table. I can do it."

Father Chu couldn't persuade her, so he thought about it and decided to give up.

When Chu's mother came to see Director Ma the next day, she found out that the cleaner's job was just a cover. He was actually helping Director Ma and Ye Jun keep watch to prevent others from breaking in and disturbing their date.

Only then did Chu's mother realize that she had gotten on a pirate ship. She was very embarrassed: "Old Ma, this is not good, right? What if your family finds out..."

Master Ma narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Sister-in-law, that's why I need your help. Your family is so short of money, and you're not in good health. There's no easier job in the world than this, don't you think?"

Mother Chu pondered for a long time before making three rules with him: "I'll help you keep an eye on her, but if the truth ever comes to light, don't drag me into it. Also, if a child is born, let Ye Jun take good care of the pregnancy, and my daughter will do her job."

Director Ma thought about it for a while. Indeed, if Ye Jun was pregnant, people in the station would definitely frame her. Then he would use the excuse of sending Ye Jun to study in the province and let her hide away to take care of the baby.

Someone just needs to take over her job.

Director Ma nodded. "It's a deal. To allow you to work with peace of mind, I'll advance you two months' salary. This is thirty. Please tick."

Chu's mother took a handful of banknotes, counted them again and again, and made sure that not a penny was missing before going back.

He happened to meet Yao Miaomiao who was coming back from the toilet. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and walked away.

Yao Miaomiao stared at the old woman's back and fell into deep thought. Was the work done?

How could this be possible? Although she was the director of broadcasting and not responsible for recruitment, it was still a position of real power, so it was quite easy for her to inquire about personnel changes.

Could it be that Master Ma paid for this old lady to come and help with something?

In order to solve this confusion, Yao Miaomiao planned to talk to her sister after get off work.

At noon, Yao Zhizhi was playing water guns with six children in the yard, waiting for Yao Miaomiao and Yang Shuming to come back for dinner.

Yao Miaomiao saw the water dripping from the yard from a distance and couldn't help but say to Yang Shuming with a smile, "Why do I feel like my little sister is also a child who hasn't grown up? Look how excited she is playing."

"You want to play too." Yang Shuming said the truth, "Go ahead, I don't think you're childish."

Yao Miaomiao punched him in anger and said, "Shut up, it's none of your business!"

"Hahaha!" Yang Shuming laughed and walked quickly into the yard. Six children, from oldest to youngest, each had a handful of White Rabbit milk candy.

This is how he, as the stepfather, biological father, and uncle, pleases the children every time he comes back.

Simple and straightforward, but effective.

When the children received the candies, they immediately turned into little magpies, chirping and saying thank you. Only Guanying stood aside, looking out of place.

Yang Shuming took another look at the taciturn Guanying and kept a watchful eye on him.

After dinner, Yao Miaomiao went inside to whisper to Yao Zhizhi. Yang Shuming quickly called Guanying to the small lake outside the yard: "Son, why are you unhappy? Talk to Dad."

Guanying lowered his head in silence and kept kicking the weeds by the river.

Yang Shuming didn't force her. He found a rock to sit on, silently looking at the shimmering lake, and said, "I know you're getting older and starting to have things on your mind. It's okay. You can always come to me when you want to talk. If you miss your dad over there, you can tell me and I can make arrangements."

"I didn't. He doesn't deserve me to miss him!" Guanying said sullenly. Although he was in a low mood, there was obvious hostility in his words.

Yang Shuming was helpless. What should he do? The boy was about to turn ten years old. His classmates and neighbors' children might say something. He was busy with work and could not take care of the child's emotions all the time. He could only give him some time to digest it himself.

He stood up, patted Guanying on the shoulder, and changed the subject: "Look, you are almost as tall as your father's shoulders. In a few years, you will be taller than your father."

"Jinghui is definitely taller than me." Guanying tried not to seem concerned. "After all, he's your biological son."

Yang Shuming thought to himself that as expected, nothing could hide from the eyes of an old criminal policeman like him.

There must be some gossipy person talking nonsense in front of the child.

He hooked his arm around Guanying's shoulders and said, "Silly boy, you and Jinghui are both your mother's biological children. Your mother and I are husband and wife, so you are just like my biological child."

Guanying looked up and looked into Yang Shuming's eyes, trying to find some false feelings in them, some hypocrisy and perfunctory attitude of an adult coaxing a child.

Unfortunately, he didn't find it, no.

He lowered his head silently: "I envy Guangmei. She was still young at that time and didn't remember anything. She was also open-minded and didn't take anything others said to heart."

"Just like Guangmei, don't take it to heart. Remember, those gossipers just can't stand you and Guangmei living a good life, and can't stand our family living a good life, it's that simple." Yang Shuming could no longer treat Guanying as a child, he had to lay out the essence of the problem with him.

Guanying obviously hadn't thought about this. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. The cicadas' chirping was everywhere, and on the lotus leaves in the lake, the damselfly was showing off its slender figure.

In the reflection in the water, the little boy had a sad look on his face, and the only elder beside him was looking at him with concern.

Guanying finally raised his head: "What you said seems to make sense. I will try my best to cheer up."

"Tell Dad, who is disturbing my son's mood?" Yang Shuming needs to find this person. If it is a group of people, he may not be able to do anything, but if it is just one person, it will be easy.

He had to warn that man.

Guanying sighed silently: "A lot, from the school, from the alleys, and even the Chu family who just came back a while ago. That grandmother Chu always says to me when she sees me, 'Son, you have to do your best. Your brothers and sisters have their own parents, but you and your sister Guangmei are different. You can only rely on yourselves.'"

Yang Shuming was not surprised at all. The Chu family was demoted because of their careless words. He didn't expect that they still didn't learn their lesson after coming back.

He had to teach them a lesson.

He asked again: "Is it just Grandma Chu? Are there others?"

"Her daughter said the same thing. I'm so tired of hearing them both echoing each other." Guanying was very sad. "Are they really jealous of our family?"

"Of course, silly child. Your dad is the captain of the criminal police team, your mom is the broadcasting director, and your grandpa is an army cadre. Who wouldn't be jealous? In the future, if you hear these words, just treat them as farts. If you are really unhappy, just tell daddy. Just treat me as your buddy and don't worry about anything." Yang Shuming has always been attentive to these two children. He has a clear conscience, and when he said these words, he was naturally upright.

Guanying nodded: "Okay, I will remember Dad. I don't know if that sister will have the same experience. Will you miss her?"

Yang Shuming smiled and said, "I think so. Human nature is the same. So I won't treat you unfairly. I also hope that someone will treat my daughter well."

Guanying was a little curious: "Do you have a photo of her? Show it to me later. If she misses you and comes to see you one day, I won't be able to recognize her."

"It's in my old dormitory. I'll give it to you when I come back in the evening." Yang Shuming was very easy to talk to. In a reconstituted family, the most taboo thing is to be secretive and hesitant.

It’s better to say whatever you want to say. If everyone is open and honest, then the demons and monsters will naturally have nowhere to hide.

*

On the train, the single mother who had been unconscious for two days was finally awakened.

She stared at the unfamiliar environment in a daze and subconsciously closed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again, hoping it was an illusion.

pity……

She looked at the passengers in the carriage, some tired and some excited, and finally realized that she was really on a train.

Her shoulders felt a little numb, and she turned around subconsciously, only to find her son sleeping soundly on her shoulder, drooling all over her shoulder.

The single mother couldn't bear to push her son away and continued to endure it.

She rubbed her aching brows and took a long time to relax before finally figuring out what was happening.

No wonder Chu Lingyi suddenly was so kind as to cook them a feast of fish and meat. It turned out that she had drugged them and wanted to send them away.

It's ridiculous. There is no such cheap thing in the world. Let her dream on!

Shan's mother quickly woke Shan Yong up and discussed countermeasures together.

Shan Yong was stunned for a long time before he understood what his mother said. He didn't believe that Chu Lingyi would be so cruel. He didn't believe it!

The mother and son got off the train at the next station, picked up their luggage, and jumped on the train back.
