Chapter 115
Seeing that there was a chance, Mrs. Qian quickly spoke out to persuade him to stay: "Son, I really know I was wrong. I know I disappointed you before, but this is my first time being a mother-in-law. Don't you know how your grandmother treated me when she was alive? I'm just afraid!"
She wiped away a tear and said, "I was afraid that others would bully me, so I acted so sarcastic. I was really afraid of being bullied. But then I realized what your grandmother did to me. Why should the grudges of the previous generation be burdened with the next generation? I'll apologize to Yan Zi and let our family start over, okay?"
Zhong Qiao is not stupid, he can guess most of it by listening to their conversation.
When Mrs. Qian was young, she was often bullied by her vicious mother-in-law, and her husband either beat or scolded her. It was not easy for a woman like her to raise a son with great effort. In order to avoid being bullied by others, she changed her personality and became a well-known shrew.
It is said that he had a quarrel with his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law was not a pushover and went straight back to her parents' home, demanding a divorce from Qian Sanyi.
Qian Sanyi was extremely disappointed with Mrs. Qian and naturally chose his wife.
Mrs. Qian has been living a very lonely life these years. Perhaps it is because she is old. As time goes by, she remembers how gentle she was when she was young, so she wants to reconcile with her son and daughter-in-law, but she never gets the chance.
Qian Sanyi sighed, stopped the car, and slowly walked up to Mrs. Qian: "Mom, why are you doing this? If others saw this, your son's spine would be broken."
"That won't do." Mrs. Qian was very protective of her son and quickly got up. "No one can scold you."
Qian Sanyi's expression relaxed slightly, as if he was remembering the days when he was young and depended on his widowed mother. It was also like this, with his widowed mother always protecting him.
"Mrs. Qian, I have something else to do. You guys chat." Zhong Qiao tactfully left some alone time for the mother and son.
"Okay." Mrs. Qian's heart and eyes were full of her son, and she answered casually.
After Zhong Qiao returned home, Mrs. Qian burst into tears again: "You are so stubborn, son. You said you would cut off all ties with me, and you really won't contact me anymore? I only have this one son, and you are so heartless. You are afraid that I will die at home when I am old and no one will take care of me."
Qian Sanyi was helpless: "Mom, you're here again. It was you who lost your temper and said you wanted to cut off contact with me. Every time you quarreled with Yan Zi, you used this to threaten me. Now that I really did it, you blame me again."
Mrs. Qian's expression changed slightly: "Don't I know I regret it now?"
Qian San didn't give her any face at all: "I should have regretted it earlier. Why did you shut yourself up when Yan Zi came to you to make peace?"
Mrs. Qian was unable to utter a word.
I was really too mean back then. Maybe it was because after my husband died, I maintained a certain degree of rejection and malice towards the people around me. Over time, I couldn't get along well with my family.
Her son and daughter-in-law also hated her, but the incident of them staying behind closed doors was indeed a misunderstanding. She was so angry that she was sick and had no energy to speak. She didn't want to lose face in front of her daughter-in-law, so she endured it and kept silent.
Unexpectedly, my son and daughter-in-law misunderstood me.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Qian Sanyi didn't have the heart to make things difficult for his widowed mother, so he changed the subject, "Mom, Yan Zi gave birth."
Mrs. Qian had heard about this a long time ago.
The daughter-in-law was ten months pregnant when she suddenly gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, the in-laws happened to be with her. The two old people were so scared that they rushed her to the nearest hospital, and both the child and the adults were safe and sound.
She always wanted to find an opportunity to visit him, but she could never bring herself to do it.
"Is it a son or a daughter?" asked Mrs. Qian.
Even though the rumors were that she had given birth to a boy, she still wanted to confirm it.
Speaking of his son, Qian Sanyi's honest face forced a loving smile: "It's a boy. He might have eaten it. It's up to me. He's only a few months old, but he's full of energy. The whole family has to gather around him to coax him."
"That's great! Boys should be more lively." Mrs. Qian was very excited. "He will definitely be a successful one in the future."
Qian Sanyi agreed.
He also felt that his son would have a bright future. As for where his confidence came from, he couldn't really put it into words. It was just a feeling that the child was very smart since he was born. Every time his wife talked to him or teased him, he seemed to understand what people were saying. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but smiled.
"Mom, you know you're wrong." Qian Sanyi brought the subject back. "Go see the child when the time comes. Your grandson hasn't even seen you yet."
Mrs. Qian became even more excited.
"Okay." But then she changed her mind. She had treated her daughter-in-law like that before and almost caused her son to divorce her. As a mother-in-law, she didn't know how to visit her. She was afraid that she would be kicked out by her in-laws before she even entered the house.
"Son, do you think Yan Zi will forgive me?"
"Yes." Qian Sanyi thought for a moment, "Yan Zi is not that stingy."
"Okay, since you said that, I'll risk my reputation." Mrs. Qian already had a plan in mind.
Zhong Qiao, who had no idea that he was bringing together a complete family, asked Zhong Siqi to move things as soon as he entered the door.
When they went out, Mrs. Qian and the others were gone.
Zhong Qiao didn't care too much about the mother and daughter. What was important now was the sewing machine.
The biggest tool is already there, and now only some small things are left to be purchased. But there is no need to rush, as there is still a long time before the agreed start time with them.
Mother Zhong came out with bowls of rice and called them to eat. Zhong and Qiao worked together to move the sewing machine back home, as they were also hungry.
Dinner was light.
Clear soup noodles with vegetables and eggs.
After dinner, Zhong Qiao was reviewing at the desk when he suddenly thought of something. He opened the drawer and found an envelope with the word "crane" written on it.
Ever since she found out that Ji Hebai was her pen pal, Zhong Qiao simply pretended to be dead and never replied to any letters. She thought that this would clear up their previous relationship, but Ji Hebai still didn't give up and kept writing one letter after another.
Sometimes he asked about business, sometimes he chatted about some trivial topics. As an adult who had lived two lives, Zhong Qiao could vaguely feel that Ji Hebai treated her differently.
But she still didn't say a word in reply.
Looking at the letters in the drawer, Zhong Qiao fell into deep thought.
To be honest, she could not remember clearly that she and Ji Hebai played well together when they were young, and the public rejection in college was also a misunderstanding. But it was precisely because of these things that she and Ji Hebai seemed like people from two different worlds.
Zhong Qiao didn't know how to face it.
Thinking of this, Zhong Qiao stuffed all the letters back into the drawer. Out of sight, out of mind. She still had a lot of things to do, and it was not the time to think about those messy things.
Making money, dividing the family, not letting the past life swallow him up, and protecting everyone who is sincere to him, this is what Zhong Qiao really wants to pursue.
Ji Hebai.
Maybe apart from business dealings, there will be no more intersection.
