Chapter 312 We Can't Take This Loss

When she was about to enter the house, Ji Yuanyuan looked back.

I saw my second uncle standing straight at the door, and people coming and going looked at him curiously.

But my second uncle turned a deaf ear to these gazes, as if he didn't see them at all.

This stop lasts for the entire afternoon.

It was December and very cold outside. Li Yong was wearing a suit, which was not very warm.

After one afternoon, his face had turned pale from the cold.

Xiao Qi came back from outside and said with some distress: "Grandpa, do you want to send some clothes to her second uncle? I see he is shivering from the cold and his face is pale. Don't let him get sick from the cold!"

Qin Junshan heard this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't do that. If you go now, all your efforts will be wasted."

Li Yong suffered from the cold before, but it was in vain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi sighed and ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Ji Yuanyuan and the other two finished their meal at Qin Junshan's place, and then Qin Junshan asked Gong Wenbai to drive them home.

Passing by Qin Xiaomin's house, Ji Yuanyuan looked through the car window and saw Li Yong still standing at the door holding flowers.

But his once straight back has now become hunched.

Ji Ziang was about to lower the car window to talk to Li Yong, but Ji Yuanyuan grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't make trouble."

Ji Yuanyuan was talking to Ji Ziang and missed the expression on Li Yong's face.

He looked at the car and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

The car quickly drove away from the Qin family's villa. Ji Ziang turned around, looked through the rear window, and said to Li Yong with a distressed look on his face: "My second uncle is so pitiful!"

Gong Wenbo joked with him: "If you want to marry a wife, you have to suffer a little. You will have to suffer like this in the future."

The car turned a corner and Li Yong was no longer in sight.

Ji Ziang sat down and said proudly, "Wouldn't it be better if I didn't marry a wife?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Wenbai burst into laughter.

Ji Ziang looked at him suspiciously.

Gong Wenbo deliberately said: "Well, you are right. We can't afford not to marry a wife when we grow up. We can't be as stupid as your second uncle!"

Ji Ziang didn't hear the teasing in Gong Wenbo's words, and nodded seriously, saying, "Yes, that's right!"

Gong Wenbai shook his head and sent the three children into the store.

Before leaving, he naturally told Li Xu that Li Yong had been standing at the door of Qin Xiaomin's house.

Li Xu understood the meaning of Li Yong's actions. Although she felt a little distressed, she still endured it and ignored the matter.

Li Yong didn't come back until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and Li Xu became a little impatient.

She whispered to Zhang Kun, "Is anything wrong? No, I have to go check it out!"

Zhang Kun was also a little worried, so he followed suit and put on his clothes.

After changing clothes, Li Xu quietly went to take a look at the next room.

Yuanyuan had fallen asleep. She changed her shoes quietly and went out with Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun carried her and went to Qin's house panting in the cold wind.

However, when they finally arrived in front of Qin Xiaomin's house, there was no sign of Li Yong.

"He won't go home, will he?" Li Xu murmured.

The home she was talking about was her hometown in the countryside.

But even if he was leaving, he should have gone to the store and told her.

Or is he at the Qin family now?

The lights were still on in Qin's house. She stood at the door, a little hesitant.

After a while, Li Xu no longer cared about his face. He walked forward and pressed the doorbell of Qin Xiaomin's house.

Soon, someone came and opened the door.

It’s Qin Zhiye.

Seeing Li Xu, he pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly: "Are you looking for Li Yong?"

Li Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Do you know where he went?"

Qin Zhiye said: "Xiao Jie sent him to the hospital, and was just thinking about calling you!"

Li Xu's expression immediately became tense when he heard this: "Hospital? What happened to him? Which hospital?"

Qin Zhiye hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know yet. I just left not long ago!"

As he was speaking, Niu Ailan inside called him, "Phone!"

Qin Zhiye's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "It should be Xiao Jie's call, wait a moment!"

He entered the house and picked up the phone. "Okay, okay, I know. You'll have to work hard tonight. OK, got it!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhiye immediately went back outside and said to Li Xu, "He's on the second floor of the People's Hospital. He's not seriously injured. He just stood for too long and his brain doesn't get enough blood. He just needs to rest."

Li Xu secretly called Li Yong a fool. She thanked Qin Zhiye and quickly left the villa with Zhang Kun.

Qin Zhiye stood at the door, looked in the direction Li Xu left, and sighed softly.

Back in the living room, Qin Zhiye sat down next to Niu Ailan.

It was almost twelve o'clock, but neither of them showed any intention of going to bed.

After a long while, Qin Zhiye finally spoke: "The children have grown up. It is impossible for them to do everything according to our ideas. Sometimes, it is time to let go! Whether the road ahead is smooth or bumpy, only when they walk through it themselves will they know the result."

Niu Ailan looked at the coffee table with a dazed look.

"The child is already this big. If we delay any longer, are we going to have a wedding with a big belly? Wouldn't that make people laugh at us?"

Niu Ailan sneered: "Isn't this a joke? She's pregnant before marriage, and the father of the child is a farmer who didn't even go to college. If the relatives knew about this, they would probably laugh their teeth off."

"We don't live our lives for the opinions of others. Xiao Min likes him, and marrying him makes her happy, isn't that enough? Anyway, I don't expect the children to have a great future and bring honor to my family. As long as they are happy, I'll be satisfied."

Niu Ailan sneered, "When did I expect my children to bring honor to the family? I've been through this before. As the saying goes, poor couples have many worries. Xiao Min doesn't care now. Love is enough. But when she gets married, she'll know. All her living habits will have to be downgraded, and everything she uses will have to be replaced with cheap ones."

She always said that she didn't love money and that she could live a hard life.

But look at what she eats, wears, and uses now, which one doesn’t cost money?

"But what can you do now? Parents can never be more stubborn than their children. This is because the feelings of parents for their children are always deeper than the feelings of children for their parents. Can you be more stubborn than her? She got pregnant before marriage this time, and who knows what she will do next time! Don't you know your own daughter?"

Niu Ailan listened quietly to Qin Zhiye's words. After a while, she took the tissue on the coffee table and wiped the corners of her eyes.

After a long silence, Qin Zhiye saw that Niu Ailan had no intention of moving, so he urged her, "Okay, don't think about it for now, go back to your room and sleep!"

Niu Ailan didn't move: "You go back to sleep first, I want to be alone for a while."

Qin Zhiye didn't say anything, just sighed, got up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom.
