Chapter 219: You accepted the gift but you don’t acknowledge it?
After the car drove into the garage, Li Yang got out and took out the things in the trunk.
Jiang Banxia took Jiang Tiandong out of the car and came over to help carry it.
They were basically some nutritional supplements. Jiang Tiandong didn't see his favorite drinks and was a little disappointed.
Just now while eating, he successfully drank his favorite drink. After a brief thought in his little head, he felt that it was Li Yang's appearance that caused him to drink the drink, which he usually didn't have at home.
So, Li Yang = drink.
This was also the reason why he was willing to go along, but in the end it was gone.
Li Yang ≠ beverage?
"Dongdong, carry it." Jiang Banxia handed him a small box.
"I don't want it if it's not a drink!"
Jiang Tiandong's attitude is very clear.
Li Yang on the side said: "Then call me brother-in-law and I will buy you a drink."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Three bottles!" Jiang Tiandong felt that the adults were very stingy. If he didn't finish his work early, they would definitely find an excuse to give him the least.
"Hahaha, I was going to buy you a box."
"????"
A few minutes later, Jiang Banxia and his brother walked towards their own floor carrying things.
When they were almost at the elevator, Jiang Tiandong was unwilling to leave.
"Where's my brother-in-law? He just said he would buy me a drink. Did he run away?"
Jiang Banxia: “…”
He must have run away. Who would dare to buy you a drink?
If it were her, she would have to run too.
"Go home first, and I'll buy it for you when I see your brother-in-law in a couple of days."
Jiang Banxia took on the role of a parent.
But Jiang Tiandong just threw away what he had in his hand and lay on the ground.
"I'm not leaving!"
Jiang Banxia: “…”
She suddenly felt annoyed with the child, as she was obviously worried that he might drink too much.
Jiang Tiandong has a lot of problems. Because his parents were not around most of the time when he was a child, his grandparents took care of him most of the time, so he got cavities at a very young age.
He just got new teeth recently and looks good. He is strictly forbidden to eat sweets and drink beverages at home, especially his favorite drink, Coke.
"Hurry up and get up, or I'll beat you up, believe it or not?"
Jiang Banxia said this seriously in the tone of a parent.
But Jiang Tiandong didn't listen at all.
Because he knew that the beating wouldn't hurt.
But if you don't cheat, you really won't be able to get the drink.
This is also a point he discovered, that is, parents like to lie, and most of the promises are false. Unless you cheat, there is a possibility of success.
Jiang Banxia was helpless. She wouldn't really hit anyone, and she was holding something in her hands.
She was going to call home and ask them to come over and sort the matter out.
Just as she put down her things and was about to pick up her phone, the elevator arrived.
After the elevator door opened, Li Yang's figure appeared in front of him.
He held a drink in his hand and asked, "Why didn't you come up? I've been waiting at your door for a long time."
Jiang Banxia looked at Jiang Tiandong and said, "This guy is a rogue and won't leave."
Li Yang walked over. Jiang Tiandong jumped up immediately when he heard the noise, "Brother-in-law, where's my drink?"
Li Yang took out the drink he had just bought and handed it to him.
Jiang Tiandong's originally unhappy expression turned visibly into excitement.
This time it's different.
He originally just wanted to be a rogue and hoped that his family would give him one bottle, but Li Yang ended up bringing three bottles.
Jiang Banxia asked, "Are you really going to buy it for him?"
"You've already agreed. You can't lie to the child, right?"
As he was talking, Li Yang picked up Jiang Tiandong and reminded him, "This is enough for a week. Remember to brush your teeth every morning and night, okay? I will pay close attention to this matter. If you don't do it, I won't buy it for you next time."
“Hmm…”
With the drinks, Jiang Tiandong agreed to everything.
Only Jiang Banxia knew that Jiang Tiandong did not keep his word and would be gone tomorrow at most.
"You promised me, just like I promised you. This is a gentleman's agreement. If you can't do it, you will become a villain. If you become a villain, no one will believe you in the future, and no one will play with you."
“Hmm…”
Li Yang picked up some things and got into the elevator with Jiang Banxia.
Jiang Banxia finally couldn't help herself and exposed Jiang Tiandong's shortcomings: "If only this guy could be obedient, he would drink one bottle in the afternoon, one bottle in the evening, and one bottle tomorrow morning, and it would be gone in the afternoon."
Li Yang smiled and said, "Then hand him over to me tomorrow afternoon. I'll let him know what a gentleman's agreement is!"
"Then you will be entangled to death by him."
"Haha, it's still unclear who will pester whom."
Li Yang decided to practice with Jiang Tiandong so that when his own child is born, there will be a seamless transition.
Soon, the elevator arrived at the door. Li Yang didn't go in, but just put down his things.
When Dou Ying opened the door and saw the cheerful Jiang Tiandong and the drinks in his arms, she asked, "Where did these drinks come from?"
"My brother-in-law gave it to me!"
The word "brother-in-law" shocked Jiang Yaoting who was sitting on the sofa.
Helping Jiang Banxia carry her things, he said as he walked, "Dongdong, your sister and Li Yang haven't married yet, so you can't call her brother-in-law now, got it?"
Jiang Tiandong didn't react much, he was just a child after all.
But Jiang Banxia was not happy and said, "Dad, you've eaten the meal and accepted the gift, but you don't want to acknowledge it?"
"What gift did I receive?"
"Look, what you are holding is what Li Yang bought especially for you. It also contains a sixty-year-old wild ginseng."
When Jiang Yaoting heard the first half of the sentence, he wanted to throw the thing away.
I couldn't bear to hear the second half of the sentence.
Sixty-year-old wild ginseng is a rare commodity. If there are many elderly people in your family, it is always a good idea to have one on hand.
As for the so-called hundred-year-old wild ginseng, just listen to it. Even if it really exists, it will not fall into their hands.
Moreover, wild ginseng is now a protected plant, and most of the ginseng on the market is from forests.
Jiang Yaoting didn't know the difference between the two, but wild ginseng that was aged was sometimes indeed useful. He had seen an old Chinese doctor use wild ginseng to save the life of an elderly man who was about to die.
As for whether it is a psychological effect, there are too many opinions. Aren’t most things in the world psychological effects?
Li Yang took the risk to send something to his home this time. Wouldn't it be disheartening if he didn't accept it?
Anyway, the meal has been eaten, and the result will not change whether I accept anything or not.
…
When Li Yang returned home, he found that something was different at home.
chaos.
Although it looks clean, the mess in the whole house is visible to the naked eye.
It’s because Xue Ning is gone.
The old couple had nothing to do at home, and they didn’t want to travel anymore. There was no one to accompany them, so they started living a retired life early.
Dull, boring, and not so interested in many things anymore.
Maybe they are not as happy as those who work on the construction site.
"Mom and Dad, how about I go out with you guys during the summer vacation? I don't have anything to do during the summer vacation anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Likun waved his hand and said, "Aren't you working on that car? You can't travel around with so much money. Besides, we're all tired after traveling for more than a year. We just need to stay at home and gain some weight. I've gained 6 kilograms in the past six months."
Li Likun seemed to be showing off in his words.
He has lived a different life in the past two years, especially after his son became successful, the pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Although he was not very old before, he felt that he was the one who supported the family, and he had a sense of responsibility and honor in his heart.
Last year, I was very happy to have Xue Ning accompany me and see the beautiful scenery of our motherland, so I didn’t think too much about it.
As a result, this year, Xue Ning left with her boyfriend, and the old couple had nothing to do all day.
They are used to working, which is different from the retired old men and women in the city.
Besides, they are young, just over 40 years old.
People of the same age are all working very hard. When I go back to my hometown, I can only meet a few familiar guys and chat with them for a few minutes. There are almost no familiar people in the county town.
Jiang Yaoting and the others all have jobs, so they can't even find an excuse to visit each other on weekdays.
When Xue Ning was around, they could go to their hometown to get some things, such as old hens, old ducks or some wild fish, and ask Xue Ning to send them over.
Of course Li Likun wanted Li Yang to accompany them out for a walk, but they also knew that Li Yang was very busy.
Even if I thought about it, I forced myself not to say it out loud.
Wang Cuiping at the side also chimed in, "We just need to wait for Ningning to come back home. We can't delay your business."
In name, the money Li Yang spent belonged to Jiang Banxia, and the old couple didn't want to delay Li Yang and Jiang Banxia's relationship because of themselves.
It looks like we'll be getting married in two years.
Li Yang hurriedly asked, "Did Sister Ning say when she would be back?"
Wang Cuiping said with some concern: "She didn't say when she would be back. She said her boyfriend took her abroad, but I saw a lot of unsafe news abroad recently."
She was actually very unsure in her heart. After all, from beginning to end, she didn't even know what Xue Ning's boyfriend looked like, what his name was, or where he was from.
Now Xue Ning has been away from home for such a long time again, and apart from calling home every other day, no one else knows anything about her.
Li Yang said: "Then you can video chat with her and see."
"She's overseas, her phone can't access the internet. Didn't you see she hasn't posted on WeChat Moments in half a year?"
“This… that is also…”
Li Yang felt that Xue Ning either didn't want to come back or something happened.
I chatted with my parents at home for a while, told them about things happening in Beijing, and even massaged their shoulders for a while.
After dinner, I made an excuse that I had to do a live broadcast and went back to my room.
I found Xue Ning's WeChat and sent her a message: "Is it convenient for me to video chat? If not, forget it."
After sending the message, he waited for nearly ten minutes without receiving a reply, so he simply started a live broadcast.
He picked a few viewers to play the game together during the live broadcast. Almost an hour later, he received a reply from Xue Ning.
"inconvenient."
Three simple words.
Then, Li Yang turned off the live broadcast and called directly.
Informing her is out of respect.
It is our duty to force our way through.
Li Yang was not afraid that Xue Ning would run away. Neither he nor Xue Ning owed anyone anything. Even if Xue Ning really ran away, he could still give her another gift.
Soon, the video was taken down.
Li Yang called again and was hung up again.
He got angry and sent a message back: "Next time if you hang up, I will search all over China to find you, do you believe it?"
After waiting for thirty seconds and making sure Xue Ning had seen the message, he called again.
This time the call was connected, but Xue Ning did not appear in the camera.
Xue Ning said aggrievedly: "Why are you video chatting? My data charges are very expensive..."
Li Yang smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, I can still afford the money for a video call. Tell me the truth, where are you now?"
"In... the Maldives."
"Haha... It's a different era now, who would go there? You're either in Jiangbei or Sanya, what happened?"
Xue Ning said hesitantly, "It's okay."
Li Yang: "Okay, I'll take my parents to Jiangbei in a couple of days. If we can't find you, we'll go to Sanya. Anyway, you must be living in one of my houses. I know the address."
Xue Ning panicked and said quickly: "No!"
Li Yang asked in a deep voice: "Where are you?"
"I... am in Jiangbei..."
When replying to this sentence, Li Yang vaguely heard something wrong, so he said: "Teacher Xue, let me see you."
"Not good looking without makeup."
"But I heard you seemed to be crying."
“No…no…”
Li Yang asked again: "Is there a man around you? The reason you didn't answer the video is because you were afraid that I would see it? Now you are actually holding it back... After all, you do have the habit of making phone calls to do bad things, and it happened several times when you were with me..."
"You're looking for death. What nonsense are you talking about!" Xue Ning couldn't help but curse.
"Then let me see!"
"What if you regret it after watching it?"
Li Yang said calmly, "You haven't contacted me for more than four months. I didn't want to see you anymore. Your affairs have nothing to do with me. Since you said that, I will transfer another 10 million to your card. Just treat it as your dowry from my parents. Let's not contact each other in the future."
Xue Ning gritted her teeth when she heard this. "Why are you such a bastard? What do I need a dowry for? I have enough money to spend!"
"No, I have to give it to you, otherwise my parents won't be able to get along. They are in a bad mood recently."
"What? What happened to them?"
"I just came back today, so I'm still unclear. Let's find a psychiatrist to see them tomorrow. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it..."
Xue Ning was anxious, "How can I just ignore it? What happened?"
"It's okay. I'm hanging up."
After Li Yang finished speaking in a deep voice, he hung up the video.
Then, Xue Ning called anxiously, but Li Yang didn't answer.
After two consecutive times, Xue Ning directly sent a WeChat message: "Li Yang, you are asking for trouble. What's going on with your parents? Explain it to me clearly!"
"It's not convenient for me to go back now. Can I wait a few months? I'll go back to see them in a few months."
"Say something, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Xue Ning's video called again, and this time Li Yang answered it.
Xue Ning on the other side of the camera was wearing no makeup and was even wearing pajamas, and her expression was a little nervous.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xue Ning has gained weight.
Li Yang almost didn't recognize him at first sight.
In his impression, Xue Ning, who was nearly 40 years old, looked like a young girl. How come she suddenly gained so much weight?
Are you sick?
On the other side of the video, Xue Ning asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what happened at home?"
Li Yang looked a little strange.
"Teacher Xue, are you pregnant?"
"I don't know... I think... Tell me about your parents' situation first."
"Let's exchange information. You tell me about your situation first, and I'll tell you about your parents' situation. You go first..."
Xue Ning: “…”
She found that she couldn't win the argument with Li Yang at all.
Of course, you can also choose not to listen to the stories about Li Likun and others, but you just can't get over it in your heart.
Finally, she whispered, "I don't know how I got pregnant. It's been nearly three months since I found out. The doctor said that if I abort the baby, I might never get pregnant again, so I... But don't worry, I won't use the child as a bargaining chip. You've given me more than enough. I won't let the child appear in front of you, and I won't let anyone else know."
Li Yang laughed: "You still dare to say you don't know? If you didn't know, why didn't you call me for four months in a row? You didn't send me messages? Your period was delayed for a month, you should have thought that you might be pregnant. Don't you think your excuse is contradictory?"
Xue Ning lowered her head with tears in her eyes.
Yes, she could only come up with such lame excuses. She was not as good at talking as Li Yang and could even make a lie come true.
But she had no choice. The master's wife had already made it so clear, what could she do?
She raised her head and said, "I will definitely not cause you any trouble, don't worry. Wait a few more months, after the baby is born, I will go back to see my parents, you tell them not to worry about me."
Li Yang asked, "How can you keep it a secret forever? Mom has sharp eyes. How can she not see that you gave birth to a child? In her words, she herself has been through the same situation as you."
"I... will try to lose weight quickly after giving birth. Tell me, what happened to my parents?"
"Ah? Mom and Dad are okay."
"Um?"
"It's just that the house is a bit messy. After you left, they didn't care about their image anymore. My dad was shirtless at home, and his clothes were scattered everywhere... My mom used a bamboo pole to hang clothes on the balcony for convenience, and the clothes drying rack has never been moved..."
"That's it?"
"What else? Teacher Xue, wait for me in Jiangbei. I'll come to see you in a few days."
Xue Ning quickly said, "No, I'm leaving in two days and moving to another house."
Li Yang chuckled: "If you dare to leave, I will immediately tell my parents about your pregnancy, and... I will also blow myself up, and then they will look for you all over the world!"
"Are you going to kill me?"
Li Yang retorted: "I still feel like you are harming me! Just listen to me, or I will seriously suspect you are up to something. It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, so I might as well just blow myself up. It's better to blow myself up now than later."
"You...why should I harm you?"
"Who knows? Anyway, I'll feel more at ease if you listen to me."
Xue Ning said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Then take out the medical report and let me see it."
"Um."
Soon, Xue Ning brought the prenatal examination report to Li Yang for him to take a look.
The report was from a few days ago. Xue Ning has had three checkups in the past four months.
The first time was to check if she was pregnant, the second time was because she was feeling emotionally disturbed, and the third time was to see if the baby was healthy.
