“You are my benefactors, and I will not hide it from you. I am saying all this in order to gain your sympathy.”
The old lady looked completely at ease.
"Of all the people so far, you are the only ones who are willing to take Qiangzi and me with them when you leave. So I'm thinking, if we go with you, could you please have pity on him, protect him, settle that matter for him, and give him his freedom?"
"I don't want him to do anything bad anymore."
“I can tell he doesn’t want to do bad things anymore…”
"..."
A moment of silence fell over the carriage.
It took Ye Yun a long time to process this. She remained silent for two seconds, as if she wanted to say something, but then silently closed her mouth and looked at Qin Zheng in front of her.
Qin Zheng: "..."
It's clear that Qin Zheng has a stronger ability to accept this aspect.
Because he said "oh".
"oh."
oh?
Ye Yun blinked, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Great messenger of justice, you wouldn't be thinking of sending Brother Qiang to prison in place of his uncle, would you?"
The old lady immediately became nervous.
After spending the night together, this was the first time Ye Yun had seen nervousness on her face. The old woman before seemed calm and composed, as if she had seen it all.
But she felt deep affection for a son to whom she had no blood relation.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but chuckle softly.
What kind of person do you take me for?
Knock knock, someone knocked on the car window.
Standing outside the car window was Brother Qiang.
Qin Zheng got out of the car.
He opened the car door and helped Ye Yun out of the car.
Seeing this, Qiang Ge on the other side also opened the car door and, following suit, helped his mother out of the car as well.
The nanny, under Qin Zheng's care, also got off the car carrying the child.
Gu Jin had already started smoking to the side, while Tang Shu walked towards Ye Yun with a smile: "What are you doing? Why didn't you get out of the car for so long? Were you two being all lovey-dovey in the car?"
How can a bunch of outsiders be so lovey-dovey?
"Wife, you two go inside first, we have something to say," Qin Zheng said.
Ye Yun agreed.
She took Xiao Chuqi from her older sister's arms and asked her older sister to take Qiang Ge's mother to find the housekeeper to arrange a room.
There aren't enough rooms left in the house.
The housekeeper told Ye Yun with difficulty that there was only one guest room left on the second floor.
That guest room was the one Tang Shu stayed in before.
The old lady immediately said that she could sleep on the floor with Qiangzi, and joked, "Such a nice place, even if we sleep on the floor, it's so much better than their shabby little huts where they have to hide."
Ye Yun waved her hand and said, "It's not that bad."
Afterwards, she asked the housekeeper to tidy up Qin Xiang'e's room downstairs for the old lady to live in, while Qiang Ge stayed in the room that Tang Shu had previously lived in.
As for Tang Shu?
Of course I'll live with Gu Jin.
Gu Jin's room has always been kept at home, and now that the two are married, of course they sleep in the same room.
The housekeeper agreed and went to tidy up.
Ye Yun's arrangements were excellent.
Of course, she wouldn't let Qiang Ge live here forever. The small villa was her and Qin Zheng's little nest, as well as Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia's home. Qiang Ge and his mother were different from Gu Jin and Tang Shu. It was always uncomfortable and extremely unsafe to have strangers in the house.
Let Qiang Ge and his mother stay for a few days first, and then we'll make arrangements for where they'll ultimately stay.
The housekeeper had cut up the fruit, and Ye Yun invited the old lady to eat with her. The old lady waved her hand repeatedly, her gaze fixed on Brother Qiang, who was talking to Qin Zheng and Gu Jin outside.
The people outside were talking about something.
The living room was brightly lit, while outside, only the dim light from the yard lamps made it impossible for those inside to see anything outside; they could only make out blurry silhouettes.
I don't know how much time passed.
Qin Zheng and the others entered the living room.
Judging from their expressions, their conversation seemed to be quite pleasant.
Because, Brother Qiang was grinning foolishly.
Upon learning that Ye Yun had arranged a room, Qin Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Qiang Ge happily agreed and called to his mother, "Come on, let's go to sleep!"
Ye Yun rubbed her forehead.
The housekeeper quickly explained with a smile, "Sir, the old lady sleeps downstairs, your room is upstairs!"
"Oh? A private room?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Qiang was extremely proud.
Finally, he couldn't resist teasing the older woman doing housework: "Sister, you don't need to call me brother. You look much older than me. Just call me brother!"
The housekeeper glanced at his face, which looked to be in his thirties or forties, and her eyes twitched. "I think it's better not to."
"What kind of talk is that?"
Qiang scoffed, "Call me whatever you want. I can't take advantage of you."
The housekeeper rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "You're clearly older than me, and I'm calling you 'big brother' wrong?"
"No, sister, you're definitely older than me."
"You're older than me! Big brother, look at your face, it's rougher than the soles of my feet, are you trying to insult me?!"
"Tsk, don't believe me? Let's have a competition?"
“Fine, let’s compare!” The housekeeper retorted, gesturing with her hand: “I’m thirty-seven today, how old are you?”
Brother Qiang held up two fingers.
A voice, firm and resolute: "I'm twenty-five!"
"..."
A deathly silence fell over the entire room.
For the first time, Ye Yun felt that human silence could be so resounding and deafening!
"Go wash up and go to bed."
Ye Yun took Qin Zheng's arm and went upstairs.
Tang Shu also left the battlefield with Gu Jin.
The housekeeper looked at Qiang apologetically, and as she passed by him, she patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "I'm sorry, little brother, but don't be sad, things will get better, believe me, tomorrow will be better!"
