Chapter 396: Human Hearts Are Evil
After coming out of the police station, Wen Liang received a call from the Fu family's old house.
The old lady's concerned voice came from the phone, "Aliang? Oh, such a big thing happened a few days ago, why didn't you tell grandma? Grandma just found out that you almost couldn't come back! Have you become estranged from grandma?"
Wen Liang hurriedly said, "No, how could I be unfamiliar with you? Grandma, I just don't want you to worry. Am I fine?"
"Hey, I'm not as fragile as you think. You hid your brother's affairs from me, and you hid your affairs from me too. Grandma is almost deaf and dumb!"
"Grandma is not deaf and dumb. This time it's my fault. If anything happens in the future, I will definitely tell Grandma first."
"You only know how to say nice things to cheer me up. Hey... Today the Huo family called and said they would come to our house tomorrow to apologize. That's when grandma found out you were almost kidnapped. Huo Junshan's second wife is your mother, and the person who arranged for you to be kidnapped is your cousin? People are really treacherous, so grandma wanted to ask for your opinion. If you don't want to accept it, grandma won't let them come."
It turned out that the Huo family called the old house. No wonder grandma suddenly knew about this.
Wen Liang thought of Lin Yinuan's attitude and said, "Grandma, there's no need to call them over. Chairman Huo may be sincerely apologizing, but now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say to them."
A heartfelt apology.
The old lady thought to herself, if it weren't for Fu Zheng's relationship, if Wen Liang was just an ordinary person, would Huo Junshan condescend to come and apologize in person? Impossible!
Maybe he will help Lin Yinuan.
"Okay, then I'll tell them they don't need to come."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang bought some fruits and went to the old house to visit the old lady.
But unexpectedly, my second aunt was also in the old house.
When she saw Wen Liang, Second Aunt complained to him.
It turned out that ever since she met Xie Min in the mall that time, she looked down on Xie Min and wanted Fu Sheng to break up with Xie Min. Fu Sheng agreed verbally, but a few days later when he came home he suddenly told her that Xie Min was pregnant!
Second Aunt was so angry.
But who told his son not to be able to control his lower body?
She discussed with Fu Sheng and asked Xie Min to abort the child and give her hundreds of thousands of yuan in nutrition expenses.
Unexpectedly, Xie Min disagreed, and Fu Sheng also disagreed.
Second Aunt had to take a step back and allowed Xie Min to give birth to the child and hold the wedding, but not to get a marriage certificate. She would then announce their divorce a few years later.
Wen Liang was surprised, "Third brother won't agree, right?"
"He agreed." said Second Aunt.
Wen Liang was stunned.
Seeing Wen Liang's surprise, Second Aunt smiled and said, "He is my son. Don't I know him well? I don't think he has much feelings for Xie Min. He just wants that child."
That was her eldest grandson or granddaughter. Since she was going to keep the child, he or she had to have a proper background. So she agreed to let Xie Min and Fu Sheng hold a wedding but not get a marriage certificate. On the surface, the child was a legitimate child.
Wen Liang twitched his lips, feeling somewhat speechless. "How many months pregnant is Miss Xie now? Has the wedding date been set?"
"She was conceived during the Chinese New Year, and now she's over two months pregnant. I've discussed it with your second uncle, and we've decided to set the wedding date for the month after next. We'll keep it simple."
"Okay, in a few months, Second Aunt will be able to hold her grandson."
"That's right." Second Aunt smiled.
Fu Rui and Fu Shifan at home are beautiful, smart and cute. Second Aunt is jealous of them and has long wanted to have a grandson. Otherwise, she would not have let Xie Min give birth to the child.
However, Second Aunt was not very satisfied with the child's mother. Thinking of Xie Min's snobbish appearance, she made up her mind that after the child was born, she must educate him well and not let him learn from Xie Min.
After talking with Wen Liang for a while, Second Aunt said goodbye to the old lady and Wen Liang, went shopping in the mall, and collected rent by the way.
In addition to my second uncle's catering company, my second aunt's family also has several houses and shops, all of which have been rented out. Now it's the end of the month and it's time to collect rent.
Most of the houses and shops of my second aunt's family are located in high-end communities and prosperous areas. The tenants have signed agreements for several years and pay the rent annually or semi-annually. There is only one community that is a bit ordinary, right next to the university. The new tenants are a bit tight on money and pay the rent monthly.
Second Aunt was reluctant to rent the house to that tenant at first because of the troublesome monthly payments. But when she saw that she was a college-aged girl with an elderly and sick father, and that she was well-behaved and sensible, she felt pity for her and agreed.
She was not wrong. The girl was filial and polite. Last time, she gave her a basket of sweet potato balls that she fried herself. Although they were not good things, they were a token of her thoughtfulness.
The old community has a total of six floors, and the house is on the first floor, which is very convenient.
When they arrived at the door, Second Aunt knocked.
"I'm here," footsteps sounded, the door opened from the inside, and a young woman poked her head out, "Auntie, you're here, come in and sit down."
"Hey, Xiao Mu, you're out of school so early today? Are you doing laundry?" Second Aunt walked in, glanced at the running washing machine, sat down on the sofa, and asked with a smile.
While pouring water for Second Auntie, Xie Mu replied, "I only have one class this afternoon, so I'll come back to clean up. Auntie, have some water."
"Hey, leave it here. I'm not thirsty. How's your dad doing now?"
"Very good. He comes over with a kettle after dinner now. He's very proactive." Xie Mu said with a smile, "By the way, Auntie, I made some sticky rice dumplings for lunch today. Let me give them to you to try."
Her father had almost recovered, but was still taking medicine. Xie Mu didn't dare leave him alone in his hometown, so she simply rented a two-bedroom house near the school for the father and daughter to live together.
Her father couldn't sit idle. Although he still had a lot of money left, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He couldn't do heavy work, so he found a job as a gatekeeper nearby, which paid him two thousand yuan a month.
After Xie Mu returned to school, he studied while taking care of his father, and also had a part-time job on Saturdays and weekends, so his life was pretty good.
Xie Mu went to the kitchen and brought back a plate with two sticky rice dumplings on it. He also packed four more in a lunch box for his second aunt to take away.
Second Aunt didn't hesitate to take a bite and said, "Okay, not bad. I'll take these four. Xiao Mu's cooking skills are really good. You don't know how much I want to have a daughter like you. It's a pity that I only have one son, and he always makes me angry."
Xie Mu smiled and said, "Auntie, your son is so outstanding, many people would envy him."
She heard from her second aunt that her son worked at Fu's.
"Don't speak for him."
Second Aunt looked around the living room.
The originally small house was kept clean and tidy, and there were several pots of green plants growing well on the balcony, adding a bit of vitality to the deserted house.
Xie Mu took out a stack of cash from the room and handed it to Second Aunt, "I was planning to send it to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come today, so I don't have to make a trip."
After sitting here for a while, Second Aunt got up and left with her sticky rice dumplings.
She glanced casually and seemed to see a bottle of folic acid on the TV table.
A trace of doubt flashed through Second Aunt's mind. She glanced at Xie Mu's belly inconspicuously, and then thought she was overthinking it.
Her father should have taken folic acid. Taking folic acid can prevent Alzheimer's disease for the elderly.
