Wan Qiu got a fruit basket.
In the exquisite and beautiful fruit basket, there were brightly colored and flawless fruits, which were more dazzling than the shiny candies in the carefully decorated shops that Wan Qiu had seen.
The aroma of the fruits almost rushes out from the colorful packaging bags of the fruit baskets, playfully tempting the appetite of those who love them.
When Wan Qiu took the fruit basket from Chu Jianshu, he was very careful, as if he was hugging a priceless treasure.
"Thank you, Dad." Wan Qiu looked up at his biological father who was much taller than him and thanked him sincerely.
Chu Jianshu looked at the thin child. The huge fruit basket in his hand, which was just a little heavy, seemed to be able to bury Wan Qiu.
"Wan Qiu, are you really unwilling to go home with mom and dad?" Chu Jianshu half bent down and tried to shake Wan Qiu's determination again, "If you go home with mom and dad, we can give you anything you like."
Wan Qiu blinked and buried his face behind the fruit basket, silent and quiet.
Chu Jianshu asked: "Don't you believe that Dad can give you a better life?"
"I believe it." It was a soft, tiny voice, but Wan Qiu did not have any doubts.
Chu Jianshu knew that Wan Qiu would not lie.
"But I have a mom and I want to go home."
Chu Jian stood up again, lowered his eyes, and sighed imperceptibly.
"Be careful on the road." Chu Jianshu said, looking at Wan Qiu to thank him, say goodbye, and leave.
Wan Qiu left without hesitation. To Wan Qiu now, Ning Qiaozhen and Ning Hai were his parents.
During this period, the kindness that Yang Xiaoyu gave to Wan Qiu was far beyond what Ning Qiaozhen could match.
But Wanqiu will still choose Ning Qiaozhen.
Because Ning Qiaozhen is his mother, in Wanqiu's world, the person who has been with him the longest is Ning Qiaozhen, Ning Hai.
He didn't know how to complain about Ning Qiaozhen for not giving him the best or better.
Such behavior and practices were stupid to Chu Jianshu.
His child is indeed not very smart.
But the pure, unconcerned attitude towards family members made Chu Jianshu extremely soft-hearted.
Who wouldn't like a pure child who loves his home and family?
This love that was not moved by money or tempted by anything was stolen. It was supposed to belong to their child.
Such a child should not give his honesty and purity to a man and a woman who are not worthy of any affection.
If Yang Xiaoyu had always been impatient, then Chu Jianshu was no longer calm, with anxiety showing on his brows.
Chu Jianshu was about to check the messages on his phone. He had kept his phone in silent mode while having afternoon tea with Wan Qiu.
However, now there were suddenly several incoming calls from the same company on his phone. Chu Jianshu's expression froze and he immediately called again.
Yang Xiaoyu was in the car at this time, looking depressed, so Chu Jianshu turned on the hands-free function directly.
"Boss, it's me, Lu Qinghe. The negotiation was successful. Ning Hai was kicked out two hours ago, and Ning Qiaozhen was also fired from the restaurant." Lu Qinghe reported to Chu Jianshu on the other end of the phone.
"Well done." Chu Jianshu finally heard the first reassuring news in these few days.
"Ninghai owes a lot of foreign debts. Now that it has lost its protection, it will probably have a hard time." Lu Qinghe reported.
Ning Hai worked for a bar. The bar was a mixed bag and he was a security chief, but the bar was also involved in some dirty business, so Ning Hai could make a lot of money from it.
Probably because he made money quickly, Ning Hai spent money without restraint and had a record of gambling, which is how he owed money.
But in the final analysis, he is at the bottom of the social hierarchy. If he does not participate in important matters, he will be easily abandoned. After being abandoned, Ning Hai, who is isolated and helpless, will inevitably be visited by creditors.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jianshu looked out the car window with a slightly gloomy expression.
He also checked whether Ning Hai had any assets under his name, which meant that once they lost their jobs in the bar and restaurant, the couple would immediately lose their source of income.
Chu Jianshu is tightening the living space of Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen.
In order to achieve their goals.
Wan Qiu walked back faster than usual, even though the fruit basket was heavy.
Maybe Chu Yigui was already waiting for him at the door.
A large fruit basket contains enough fruits to satisfy many people, and his friends will be the ones to share the fruits with him.
I hope mom and dad can come back today too.
Today's fruit is the freshest.
Wan Qiu quickened his pace and when he reached the floor with the fruit basket, he saw Chu Yigui standing at the door.
Every night when I came back, I would see Chu Yigui standing on a high place, looking down at me as I was going up the stairs.
Wan Qiu pursed his lips unconsciously. It was not a smile, but a sign that Wan Qiu was in a slightly better mood.
Wan Qiu hooked out a rusty key from his collar with one hand.
The narrow and dilapidated corridor was always dark. The door was opened, and the light shining from the room illuminated two figures, one in front and one behind.
"Today's fruit basket is very beautiful. I'll cut the most delicious fruit for you first." Wan Qiu put the fruit basket on the table. He turned around and looked at Chu Yigui. "My parents gave it to me."
Chu Yigui nodded, and when he saw Wan Qiu washing his hands, Chu Yigui went to wash them too.
There is a new hand soap with a unique scent on the sink, which was given by Yang Xiaoyu.
Some inconspicuous but very practical little things were added intentionally or unintentionally in every corner of the room. These are the result of Yang Xiaoyu's hard work.
Chu Yigui had just washed his hands when he suddenly heard a violent voice coming from the corridor outside the door, like a roar.
Chu Yigui suddenly noticed Wan Qiu looking up in surprise, and suddenly looked towards the security door of the rented house.
"You stinky bitch, all you do is ask questions all day long. What's the point of you? If I have no ability, you can only follow me around and talk nonsense. If you have the ability, go and ask!"
An extremely irritable male voice was heard very loudly, and it could be heard that the man was walking up the stairs in the corridor.
Chu Yigui clearly saw that Wan Qiu was like a fragile white rabbit, with its ears pricked up to guard against the slightest sign of danger.
"You don't even know what's going on. Didn't you say that you could have a good life if you followed Meat Brother? Didn't you trick me into coming here because you said you could make money?"
This time it was a woman's voice, her voice trembling with anxiety and irritability, and she was obviously very emotional.
As the sound of the two people arguing grew louder, Chu Yigui noticed that Wan Qiu's eyes had changed.
He confirmed that it was Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen who had returned.
The quarrel was very loud, and Wan Qiu suddenly turned around and glanced at Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui saw that there was a hint of panic in Wan Qiu's eyes.
Wan Qiu seemed to be on the calm water surface at all times, as if a handful of sand was sprinkled on it, causing countless chaotic ripples.
Wan Qiu suddenly rushed to the entrance and took away the shoes that Chu Yigui had placed at the door, and pushed Chu Yigui into Wan Qiu's room.
Wan Qiu opened the closet in the room and pushed Chu Yigui in with rare force.
Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu put his shoes under the bed, which was a gesture of hiding.
And when closing the closet door, Wan Qiu made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
"sorry."
The closet door was closed.
This was accompanied by the sound of the security door being opened.
Chu Yigui is very tall and has a large build, so curling up in the closet is not very comfortable for him.
The wardrobe was very big. Perhaps because it was a rented house, it was not well decorated. There were no partitions in the wardrobe. Wan Qiu's scattered clothes were spread underneath, and the faint soapy scent of Wan Qiu's clothes wafted through the wardrobe.
Chu Yigui relaxed his body, leaned against the closet, and remained silent.
After the security door was opened, the voices of the quarreling man and woman suddenly became clear. It was obviously Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen who had returned to the rental house.
"You still have the nerve to yell, are you a man? Now we have lost our jobs, are we just going to starve?" Ning Qiaozhen had a very bad temper when facing Ning Hai, and she had lost her usual kindness.
"I found your job for you. Do you think you can find a good job just because you haven't been to school? You are just doing it for my sake!"
During the quarrel between Ning Qiaozhen and Ning Hai, Wan Qiu kept his head down and said nothing.
Even when Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen's voices were not obvious in the corridor, Wan Qiu had already keenly realized that his parents were "unhappy".
This time, the "unhappiness" was very strong, and Wan Qiu could already feel the dull pain in his skin in a trance.
To Wan Qiu, everyone in the world should be the same, and once they meet someone who is "unhappy", they will be beaten.
Chu Yigui will also be beaten.
It was too late for Wan Qiu to let his friend escape.
He could only hide his friends from his parents so that they wouldn't be seen and beaten.
Wan Qiu stood there, listening to his parents arguing.
He glanced at the time. Today, his parents came home early, so this was just the right time for him to cook.
Wan Qiu turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen, but his actions caught Ning Hai's attention.
"What the hell is this?" Ning Hai saw the fruit basket that Wan Qiu had placed on the table. He could tell at a glance that it was very valuable. He glared at Wan Qiu fiercely, "Did you buy this?"
Wan Qiu consciously observed Ning Hai's expression. Ning Hai was already very angry and his face was red and ferocious.
"No..." Wan Qiu knew very well that Ning Hai would not listen to anything he said at this time, but since his father asked, he had to answer.
"I work so hard outside every day to make money, and I'm asking you to buy stuff like this? Do you think it's easy for me to make money to support you? You're just wasting money here every day? Buying stuff like this? You're not even my son, how can you have the nerve to spend my money on such expensive things?!"
Ning Hai directly picked up the fruit basket that Wan Qiu had already opened and threw it hard at Wan Qiu.
The fresh fruits were very heavy, and the fruit basket suddenly hit Wan Qiu in the face. Wan Qiu felt his brain go blank and he dodged subconsciously. The edge of the fruit basket rubbed his cheek hard.
Wan Qiu felt a burning pain under the corner of his eye. He reached out to touch it and felt something wet. There was red blood on Wan Qiu's thin fingers.
"Ning Hai, what do you mean by this? Are you scolding him or me? Do you think I can't hear it? I worked so hard to follow you, wash your clothes, cook for you, and take care of your life, and this is how you treat me?"
"If you dare to say one more word to me, I will beat you to death, do you believe it?"
The two people quarreled more and more fiercely. Wan Qiu stood where he was, silently watching the scattered fruits rolling on the ground.
The blood oozing from Wan Qiu's cheeks flowed down his cheeks to his neck, dripping onto his thin clothes, spreading into drops of bright red, just like tears.
