The moment the lid of the pot was finally opened, the sweet aroma that hit her face was so strong that even Chi Mei, who had never been greedy, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "It smells so good!"
Song Yun stir-fried it while it was still hot, trying to coat the popcorn with a layer of sugar and oil.
The aroma of popcorn was very overbearing and wafted far away. The adults and children nearby took a few deep breaths when they smelled it. They couldn't guess what the smell was, nor did they know whose house it came from.
Especially the children, some of them cried out of greed.
The three of them ate popcorn, drank jasmine tea and chatted about gossip.
Most of the time, Chen Cuicui was gossiping, while Chi Mei and Song Yun were listening.
"Do you still remember Qian Yuxiang?" Chen Cuicui had a gossipy look on her face.
Chi Mei couldn't remember who Qian Yuxiang was.
Song Yun did remember, "the former daughter-in-law of General Qi."
Chen Cuicui nodded quickly. "Yes, that's her. I ran into her at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago. She was there with a man buying cloth. Tsk, that man was at least twenty years older than her, fat and short. He didn't even bother to show her any affection. Sometimes he complained that the cloth she chose was too colorful, and sometimes he complained that it was too expensive."
Song Yun was surprised to hear this. "Qian Yuxiang is such a proud person, how can she bear it?"
Chen Cuicui curled her lips. "Why is she so arrogant? She used to rely on being the daughter-in-law of General Qi's family, and people gave her some face. Now she is nothing, and she is a second marriage with a bad reputation. How can she still be arrogant?"
Chi Mei shook her head. "It's her own fault. I remember that Captain Qi was very kind to her and loved the daughter she gave birth to. On the contrary, he ignored the son born to his previous wife."
Chen Cuicui continued, "It's more than just being nice to her. She's been pampered to the point of being oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth. She thinks all men in the world should revolve around her." She chuckled again, "I heard she went to Captain Qi to ask for a reconciliation, but her ex-mother-in-law beat her up. She didn't even get to see Captain Qi."
Song Yun shook her head, "If you don't do it, you will die."
"Who said it wasn't? They had such a long time together, which others couldn't even dream of. But she just said she wanted to divorce, and who could have thought of that?" Chen Cuicui sighed.
Qian Yuxiang, who was being nagging by Chen Cuicui, was standing outside the gate of the retirement home and sneezed three times in a row.
The guard came out and said to Qian Yuxiang, "Mr. Qi said he doesn't want to see guests. Please go in."
Qian Yuxiang was anxious, "Didn't you tell him I was here to see my daughter?"
The soldier said, "I told you, Mr. Qi said you are not worthy of seeing his daughter and asked you not to come here again."
"Why? She's my daughter. Why won't you let me see my daughter? I don't care. I must see my daughter today." As he said this, he was about to rush in, looking like a madman who didn't care about anything.
The guards at the gate stopped the people, but did not attack the female comrade, especially since this female comrade was Mr. Qi's ex-daughter-in-law and the biological mother of his granddaughter.
"Old Li, go and tell them again." Xiao Zhou stopped the crazy Qian Yuxiang and turned to shout at Old Li who was watching the show.
Old Li responded and turned away.
Not long after, Old Li came again and shouted to Xiao Zhou, "Don't stop her, Mr. Qi said to let her in."
Qian Yuxiang was delighted and hurriedly tidied her hair and clothes.
The reason why she came here today and insisted on going in was not to see her daughter, but because she knew that Qi Aiguo was here today and was now in the retirement home.
