Chapter 73: I'd Rather Let Him Down Than He Let Me Down (Page 1/2)

Ye Yunchu and Lin Weiwei were both trying every possible way to plot against each other, but Lin Man and Xiao Ya, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, got along surprisingly well.

Before going to sleep, Xiao Ya pulled Lin Man into her room and talked, "Manman, Huanhuan is now in your hands. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If he does anything wrong, please help me teach him a lesson."

Lin Man thought that she was only eighteen years old and Huo Qinghuan was nine years old, so she couldn't give birth to a son that big.

"Mom, I understand. I will definitely help you take good care of him."

"Manman, I'm telling you the truth. There's a big commotion going on in our unit right now. If we're not careful, your dad and I could be in danger.

We can only let Qingci take Huanhuan away first, so that if anything happens, we won’t be in a panic.”

"Mom, you must take good care of your things and don't let anyone take advantage of them."

"Well, we will lock up what needs to be locked up, and we will hand in what needs to be handed in in advance. We will burn all the books and manuscripts at home that need to be burned, and Qingci will help us hide the ones that cannot be burned."

It turns out that Huo Qingci hid something for his parents. It must be hidden in the space. I hope the Bodhisattva will bless everyone and they will be safe.

"That's good."

Xiao Ya continued to instruct, "Manman, be careful over there. You're unfamiliar with the place, so don't trust outsiders easily. Stay alert at all times."

Lin Man nodded obediently, "Yes, I understand."

Xiao Ya suddenly took out a large stack of money from her pocket and handed it to Lin Man, "Good boy, here are three hundred yuan, take it first."

"Mom, we have money. I can't take this money."

"The money I gave you before was the betrothal money, and these are for you to buy daily necessities.

You'll need to buy everything when you settle down there, and Huanhuan needs your support, so keep this money for now and I'll send it to you later."

Lin Man returned the money, "Mom, we really have money, you should take it back. Isn't my second brother going to start looking for a partner?"

"I'd like him to get married soon, but unfortunately he's very picky and hasn't found anyone he's interested in. The adopted daughter of the Lin family wanted to pursue him before, but he told us straight out that he didn't like her.

Let him find what he likes. Look at Qingci. He ignored everyone before, but he became a completely different person after marrying you."

Lin Man smiled shyly. His so-called change was simply because they got married and he transformed from a big boy into a big man.

If he had married another woman, perhaps she could have made him become passionate.

After all, sexual relations are a catalyst for promoting feelings between men and women. It allows two people to understand each other more intimately, and physical contact can bring psychological satisfaction and emotional resonance.

So Lin Man didn’t think that it was she who made Huo Qingci change, but that his married life had changed him.

When Huo Qingci came to see Lin Man, Xiao Ya saw that Lin Man refused to take the money, so she stuffed the three hundred yuan into the hands of her son Huo Qingci.

"Use this to buy Manman some delicious food. You must have spent quite a bit of money on the train tickets this time. Keep these three hundred yuan with you and use them slowly."

Huo Qingci didn't refuse and put the money directly into his pocket, "Thank you, Mom."

Huo Qingci had already accepted the money, so it would seem a bit hypocritical for Lin Man to say no, so she didn't say anything else.

Back in her room, Lin Man asked Huo Qingci, "My parents' situation seems to be a bit difficult, right?"

"Don't worry, Manman. My grandfather will be watching. Even though he's retired, he still has some power and often attends various conferences. Without solid evidence, they can't do anything to Mom and Dad."

"Why did you take your mother's money again?"

"She told me I was too thin and needed to eat more. It just so happened that I had almost run out of money. After I got to Yangcheng, I had to buy a train ticket to Zhanjiang, then go to Xuwen and take a boat to Haikou. All that money would have to go to Haikou."

"I have money. If you don't have money, you can ask me for it."

Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Okay, next time I don't have money, I'll ask you for it."

Lin Man suddenly remembered that she had been collecting her mother-in-law's things, and she seemed to have never prepared anything for her mother-in-law.

She took out two large bags of cotton, a few pieces of army green cotton cloth, and a few bags of food from the space.

Huo Qingci asked her, "Manman, what are you doing?"

"These cotton and cotton cloth are for my parents-in-law to make winter cotton-padded jackets. I prepared return gifts for my aunt and uncle before, but didn't prepare any for my mother. These two hundred kilograms of food will be left for them to eat slowly."

"Thank you, Manman. We will go to bed early tonight and get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning."

"Um."

The next morning, everyone got up before daybreak. Xiao Ya got up at four o'clock to make breakfast for them. She cooked a pot of red bean porridge, steamed a basket of buns, and twenty boiled eggs, telling them to take them to the car to eat.

It was exactly five o'clock after breakfast. Huo Qingci and Huo Qingyan moved their luggage to the car. Lin Man called her mother-in-law to her room and said to Xiao Ya, "Mom, here are some cotton and cotton cloth. Take them to make cotton-padded jackets for Dad, you, and Grandpa!

In addition, there are 200 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour here. If you are short of food, come and get some."

Xiao Ya looked at the woven bags in the room with a look of shock and asked, "Where did these come from?"

"Qingci asked someone to change it." Lin Man lied casually.

"I really don't know what to say to you. How about we send these grains and cotton to you bit by bit?"

"No, Mom. Okay, we're leaving. Take care."

Since there were only five seats in the car, apart from the driver Huo Qingyan, only Huo Junshan could go to see them off. Xiao Ya and Huo Li said goodbye to them in the courtyard.

Xiao Ya gently hugged Lin Man in her arms and said softly, "If Qing Ci bullies you, write to me and tell me, and I will scold him.

Also, Qingci has been surrounded by romantic interests since he was young, so you have to keep a close eye on him. If any woman tries to cause trouble, tell me and I'll take some time off to deal with her."

Lin Man chuckled, "Thank you, Mom. I'll write to you when I get there."

Anyone who dares to snatch her man away will be punished. If Huo Qingci changes his mind, she will poison him with exotic plants and turn him into a fool, and then see who will still like him.

Lin Man snorted in her heart: I would rather let him down than he let me down, I would rather miss it than let it go.

Huo Junshan and Huo Qingyan waited at the train station for nearly two hours before they sent Huo Qingci, Lin Man and Huo Qinghuan onto the train.

As the train started moving, Huo Qinghuan, who had been laughing heartily just a second ago, suddenly burst into tears, "Woo woo! Brother, when can we return to Beijing?"

Huo Qingci also felt a little heavy-hearted, "It will probably take a few years..."

Lin Man also felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to leave before she left, but when the train really started, her heart was beating to the rhythm of the train.

After making inquiries from many sources, Lin Shaoqian finally found out the address of the Huo family's house in the city. He happily called his parents over and went to the Huo family together.

But when they arrived at the door of the Huo family mansion and knocked for a long time, no one came to open the door. In the end, no one from the Huo family came, but another family from the alley came.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Comrade Huo Qingci."

"Oh? You mean the eldest grandson of the Huo family, right? They went to the train station before dawn, and Commander Huo and his family returned to the army around nine o'clock."

Lin Shaoqian's heart skipped a beat. Huo Qingci had left with his daughter. They were a step too late again. Manman, his daughter really didn't want him anymore...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, looking at Xu Wenying with such pitiful eyes, "Mom, Manman really doesn't want us anymore."
