Chapter 80 Gu Huai, when did you come?
The room was quiet for a while. Gu Huai looked down at the things in his hands. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard someone calling him, "Gu Huai?"
Lin Yong walked up the stairs, fanning himself with a folding fan. When he looked up, he saw a tall man in military uniform standing at his door.
When Gu Huai turned around, he saw his father-in-law wearing a vest, slippers, and holding a palm-leaf fan. He looked rosy-faced and energetic, and it was impossible to tell that he had suffered from any serious illness.
If a disease costs sixty dollars to treat, it must be a serious illness.
"Dad." He called out in a somewhat dry voice.
Qin Shulan and Wei Liangfener in the room were both startled when they heard Lin Yong calling Gu Huai.
Qin Shulan hurried out the door, "Gu, Gu Huai, when did you come? Why don't you come in?"
She was afraid that Gu Huai had heard what she had just said to her daughter-in-law.
If Gu Huai heard those words, he would definitely hold a grudge against their family.
It's no longer like before, even after the divorce, when I still treated them as my father-in-law and mother-in-law and respected them.
Gu Huai naturally noticed his mother-in-law's panic. He lowered his eyelids and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I just arrived. I was about to knock on the door and come in when my father called me."
Qin Shulan and Wei Liangfener in the room both breathed a sigh of relief and said they didn't hear it.
It has been a while since they finished arguing.
"When did you come back from studying in Beijing?" Qin Shulan asked with a kind smile.
"I came back yesterday."
"You came here so easily, but why did you bring so many things with you? It's such a waste. It's not easy for you to raise four children." Qin Shulan said as she took the things from Gu Huai's hand.
His mother-in-law is like this. Every time she says something, people feel that she is thinking about them, and it is hard to think that she has any bad intentions.
She said that it was not easy to raise four children, but she had taken a lot of things and money home over the years.
He was talking about bringing something else, and he took it very quickly.
"Just some snacks and tea brought back from Beijing." Gu Huai's voice was a little distant.
"Don't stand outside, come in and sit down." Lin Yong happily took his son-in-law into the house.
As soon as Gu Huai entered the room, he saw the radio on the chest of drawers.
If he remembered correctly, he bought this radio last year when Lin Siyu was pregnant with Beibei and said she wanted to listen to the radio. He got an industrial voucher and used the 150 yuan bonus to buy it.
He was usually busy and didn't listen to this stuff, so he didn't notice when the radio at home disappeared.
Anyway, he hadn't seen it at home before Lin Siyu's divorce, but it is now at his parents-in-law's house.
When they got married, he included a radio in the betrothal gift, but when Lin Zhongbao got married, the radio was sent to the Wei family as a betrothal gift.
"Brother-in-law." Wei Jingfen called out while hugging her son.
Gu Huai nodded and looked away from the radio.
Lin Yong asked Gu Huai to sit down, and Wei Jingfen called the son in her arms Gu Huai uncle.
Qin Shulan took the things Gu Huai brought into her room and went to the kitchen to make tea.
Gu Huai looked around the house and found that many things that had inexplicably disappeared from his own home were now in his father-in-law's house.
Thermos kettle and washbasin issued by the army.
When I got married, Deng Tuan gave me a set of teacups.
A blanket that the brothers in the company pooled their money to give as a gift is now hanging on the balcony.
He vaguely remembered that one winter was particularly cold and the quilts the children covered themselves with were not thick enough. He remembered this blanket and wanted to take it out to cover the children, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.
When asked, Lin Siyu also said she didn't know.
And the watch he bought for Lin Siyu is now worn on Wei Jingfen's wrist.
The watch was a gift for their wedding anniversary. He had never seen Lin Siyu wear it many times, and he didn't know when he gave it to Wei Jingfen.
"Son-in-law, how is Beijing?"
Gu Huai retracted his gaze, "Very good."
"How is it?"
"It's very big, more prosperous than here, and there are more cars on the streets." Gu Huai answered perfunctorily. At this moment, he really didn't have the heart to chat with his father-in-law.
"By the way, Dad, I heard you were sick a few days ago?"
Lin Yong: Why do everyone say he is sick?
He was about to speak when a cough stopped him.
"Cough cough cough..." Qin Shulan deliberately coughed loudly while holding the teacup.
If he had heard his mother-in-law coughing like this before, Gu Huai might have asked about her condition, but now he just watched her performance quietly.
She coughed so deliberately, obviously to prevent her father-in-law from answering him.
"Yes, I was sick. I was hospitalized some time ago. I asked Xiaoyu to borrow money, but Xiaoyu refused to lend me money. I had no choice but to borrow from others, and now I still owe twenty yuan." After Qin Shulan finished speaking, she winked at Lin Yong and Wei Jingfen, and they understood immediately.
Wei Jingfen gave her a half-smile. They didn't know about this. It was obvious that if the money came, her mother-in-law wanted to put it in her own pocket.
However, she wants to divide the twenty dollars into ten.
The mother-in-law told Gu Huai that she still owed twenty yuan in debt, and she must have wanted him to pay it.
Qin Shulan was not afraid of being exposed by her two grandsons. After all, she had already greeted them and explained her intentions. They would definitely help her cover up her lie.
"Really?" Gu Huai asked his father-in-law.
Lin Yong nodded. "That's right. I'm still taking medicine. It's too expensive."
"Brother-in-law, you don't know how serious Dad's condition was when he was ill. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. He was hospitalized for two days and received intravenous drips before he was discharged." Wei Jingfen also made up a story.
"It's so serious, what's wrong?" Gu Huai asked with a frown, pretending to be concerned. If the Lin family looked closely, they would see that there was no concern in his eyes.
Lin Yong and Wei Jingfen looked at Qin Shulan at the same time. Since she was the one who started the lie, it was her responsibility to cover it up, lest they make a mistake in covering it up and let the cat out of the bag.
"Nephritis, acute nephritis." Qin Shulan said it was a serious disease. If it was not a serious disease, it would not cost so much money.
Gu Huai: "Acute nephritis, that's quite dangerous."
He sneered in his heart. His father-in-law looked ruddy and energetic, and climbed to the second floor without any effort. He didn't look like he had acute nephritis.
"Isn't it?" Qin Shulan placed the teacup in front of Gu Huai. "Xiao Yu refused to lend me money, and I had to ask many people for money before I could borrow it. It almost delayed my treatment."
Qin Shulan sat down on the chair opposite Gu Huai. "Ah Huai, I know you and Siyu are divorced, so we shouldn't come to you for anything. But I was in a hurry at the time. I couldn't find anyone to borrow so much money from, so I went to Xiaoyu."
"I didn't expect her to..." She stopped talking halfway, looking as if she didn't want Yu Hui to do anything wrong. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't say it anymore."
Gu Huai looked at his mother-in-law. Why hadn't he realized before that his mother-in-law was such a good actress?
She had clearly said everything, but she stopped right before the last sentence, pretending not to want to talk about others.
If Aunt Wang hadn't told him and he hadn't heard those words outside the door, he might have really believed what his mother-in-law said and blamed Xiaohui.
