Chapter 174 Preparing for Negotiation

The day before New Year's Eve, Xu Muzhou and Xiao Qingru went to the train station to pick up Xiao Huaishu and Fang Yingqiu.

The children were left in the care of two elders.

Children are very sensitive to emotions. Although they are still young, they know who is truly kind to them.

In just a few days, he had already developed a deep relationship with Xiao Xiao and her mother.

At night, Muzhou and the others were allowed to sleep with them, and she only had to get up once in the middle of the night to feed them.

After arriving in the city, the couple went shopping first, and then went to the train station on time.

Seeing that they didn't bring any guards, Xiao Huaishu patted Xu Muzhou on the shoulder and said, "Amazing! You can even drive now."

"Just do the difficult moves, everything else is fine."

As the best brother, Xiao Huaishu hoped that Xu Muzhou would recover as soon as possible.

Now that he can even drive a car, it means the sequelae are serious and can basically be ignored.

I moved my luggage into the car. In addition to the clothes and shoes for the elders, I also brought two roast ducks.

Xiao Huaishu said, "I don't know if there's any mutton at this time. Let's go check. If there is, buy two pounds and use it to make dumplings tomorrow."

Xiao Qingru counted the bamboo basket in the trunk and said, "I've already bought everything. Two kilograms of meat and bones, and two fish."

The weather is cold this time of year, so it's completely fine to keep the meat for a day.

"Now that you have bought everything, let's go home."

He opened the car door and let Fang Yingqiu get in first.

"Brother-in-law, do we need to switch?"

"That's fine."

Xu Muzhou took the co-pilot seat and said, "It's a free driver, so use it for free."

Xiao Huaishu sighed, "Qingru, you should take good care of him."

Xiao Qingru pretended not to hear and sat in the back row talking to Fang Yingqiu.

Xiao Huaishu felt very miserable because he had to drive for them despite all the hardship.

Before he could even get home, he was stopped by someone on the way.

"Comrade, we are also going to the family compound. Please give us a ride."

The person who spoke was Granny Zhang, who knew Xiao Huaishu.

The only people who can afford this kind of car are those in our family compound!

Xiao Huaishu glanced around and saw that in addition to the Zhang couple, Du Wanqiu was also there.

At this moment, he was looking at Qingru with complicated eyes.

Thinking of the “good things” they had done, Xiao Huaishu got angry.

How could I help them?

He said seriously, "Whose family members are you? Have you applied? Anyone can go to the family home."

Granny Zhang and her family went to the family compound twice, following the formal procedures.

However, the person who handled these matters was Jiangchuan, so they also knew that they had to apply to go to the family home.

The old couple was a little panicked, but they thought that Du Wanqiu was there too. As the child's mother, she would definitely be able to enter the Jiang family.

"We have applied, and the Jiang family is waiting for us. Comrade, you look like a kind person, so please give us a ride."

He's full of lies and it's annoying to listen to him.

Fang Yingqiu was an impatient person, and she felt even more relieved when she found out that both she and that weird female comrade had the word "Qiu" in their names.

He patted the back of the seat and said, "What are you wasting time on? Hurry up and move on."

When his daughter-in-law spoke, Xiao Huaishu would definitely listen.

Without further ado, he drove the car backwards for a while, then turned and went around the person blocking the road.

"Why is this guy like this! We just asked him to give us a ride? If he's older, we can just give him 20 cents for the ride. Why is he so stingy?"

Old Man Zhang looked worried as he asked Du Wanqiu, "Is it really that troublesome to go to the family compound?"

"Um."

"Then why did you tell us in advance? It was the Jiang family who applied for us, so how did we get in?"

After a long journey, you can always return empty-handed.

The old couple were extremely anxious.

Du Wanqiu sneered, "Can they hide in the family compound for the rest of their lives? When they grow up, they will make a big fuss. Let's see who will suffer more."

Those who are barefoot are afraid of those who wear shoes. The time when Du Wanqiu went back to her hometown was simply a nightmare.

I get up at dawn every day to cook for the family, and then go to work after cooking.

After work, he went home to serve the family food and drink.

It's so easy to take a day off and still have to do laundry.

It was the time when the donkeys in the production team took a break, but she didn't.

Every day it's all work.

If she continues like this, she will go crazy sooner or later.

Du Wanqiu regretted that she should have quarreled with Jiang Chuan at first.

Does that mean there is no married life?

What's the big deal?

As she already has a child, she doesn't have to worry about the problem of taking care of her in her old age.

When I was young, I was raised by Jiangchuan, and when I was old, I was raised by my son. What a wonderful life it is.

It was a pity that she had fallen out with the Jiang family. Even if she said she regretted it and knelt down to beg Jiang Chuanyuan for forgiveness, he would probably not soften his heart.

Before coming here, Du Wanqiu had already made up her mind that she would go hide somewhere else for a few years after receiving the money.

She would never go back to that poor, terrible home again.

As for what happens in the future, we'll take it one step at a time.

He glanced at the Zhang couple coldly. The reason why he brought these two people here was just to have more people and more strength.

This time she will make things clear to the Jiang family. As long as they give her one thousand yuan, she will never show up again in this life.

Moreover, she will formally hand the child over to the Jiang family for raising as the biological mother.

This way, the Jiang family no longer has to worry about the Zhang family finding fault.

I guess they will agree to her terms.

On the way back, Xiao Huaishu complained about Jiang Chuan again.

Although Fang Yingqiu did not witness what happened that year, she heard some of it from Xiao Huaishu.

"That only proves one thing."

Xiao Huaishu asked with a smile: "What did you explain?"

"A man who betrays his sincerity will sooner or later suffer a great misfortune."

Xiao Qingru smiled and gave a thumbs up, "That's a very good summary."

"We women should be more frank and kick out the men who are worth it. There are so many men in the world, so it's better to choose the next one."

Xiao Huaishu said hurriedly: "Let's talk about the facts. Don't think about changing men."

"It's said that we should stick to the facts. As long as you do the right thing, why would you change men?"

"I'm afraid you'll get bored with the old and love the new."

Fang Yingqiu cried and laughed, "You think too much."

They chatted and laughed, and soon forgot about the little incident.

When he met Jiangchuan at home, Xiao Huaishu looked saccharine.

This year their house is bustling again.

Jiang Chuan watched them enter the Xiao family's home, and he felt that the way Xiao Huaishu looked at him just now was a little strange.

But then he thought again, Xiao Huaishu had never treated him well since he broke up with Qingru, and he felt relieved immediately.

He was the one who did it in the beginning, and even if people hated him, he could only accept it.

This was the only way he could express his apology.
