When they went out to eat, both mother and daughter had red eyes. Ye Tingting still ignored Song Xia, and Hua Ling and Song Shunguo didn't ask any questions, but just kept putting food on their plates.
"You two are truly mother and daughter, so alike. You both love chicken wings but not chicken legs. Today's chicken wings are plump, so you can each have one."
Ye Tingting silently gnawed on her chicken wing. She just didn't like the chicken thigh meat being too thick, so why was she the same as her mother?
After dinner, at Song Xia's request, she washed the dishes and then mopped the floor.
"Dad, Mom, Tingting, it's getting late, I have to go now."
Hua Ling stood up: "Are you going back there today?"
Ye Tingting pursed her lips, and her expression seemed even more forlorn.
Song Xia explained, "There are still some things over there that haven't been completely resolved. We need to draw a clean line between ourselves and the Qin family."
So that's how it is! Ye Tingting quietly raised her head. So she really decided to come back? Was she really not lying to her?
"Didn't you say you hired a lawyer to divide the assets? Why not just leave everything to the lawyer?"
"It's too easy for them to divide the property. They'll spread rumors about me everywhere. I'll make them taste the bitterness of having their reputation ruined."
Hua Ling said worriedly, "Be careful not to push them too far and they might do something desperate."
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Song Shunguo sighed, "Let Xiaxia do what she wants to do. When will we be able to influence her decisions?"
Song Xia opened her mouth. She had married Ye Maojin against all odds, and then hastily remarried Qin Zhenwu. She realized that her series of decisions had long hurt her father's feelings.
“Dad, I’ve really learned my lesson this time. You, Mom, and Tingting, just wait and see how it goes. I’m not being foolish.”
"As long as you're happy, and don't get into more and more trouble like before, that's fine."
"Goodbye, Dad, Mom. Goodbye, Tingting. Don't be reluctant to eat those vegetables. The company's compensation will come soon. I'll buy them again in a few days."
“What do we need you to buy? Your dad’s pension and salary aren’t insufficient. Just get through this period first,” Hua Ling rambled on, waving her hand worriedly.
Ye Tingting knew that her mother's eyes were on her as she left, but she never met her gaze or said goodbye. Only when her mother had disappeared into the darkness did she finally wave a small wave from her sleeve.
When she got home, the house was spotless, as if her mother had never been back. But the food in the kitchen confirmed that this was not a dream she had been imagining.
Ye Tingting's lips curled up slightly, so from now on, she could really have a real mother?
The smile on her lips didn't fade until she returned to her room to start reviewing her lessons, and then her eyes reddened slightly because she discovered several hundred yuan tucked under her books.
He was forced to lose his job and had a conflict with the Qin family, so he definitely didn't have much money. Why would he give himself so much money?
Ye Tingting carefully slipped the money into a dictionary on the bookshelf. While reviewing her lessons, she couldn't help but look up several times. That night, she had sweet dreams, and the next day she almost missed school.
Meanwhile, Song Xia was about to open the door when she found that the key wouldn't turn. She knew that Sun Xiurong had changed the lock cylinder, and that all the clothes in the room might be in the trash can right now!
She immediately started banging on the door: "Mom, open the door! Mom, are you home? Jiawei, Jiawei, open the door for me!"
Because the noise was extremely loud, and it was during the time after dinner when everyone was washing up, every sound from each household could be heard very clearly. Especially during this period, her conflict with Sun Xiurong had intensified, so she was paying close attention! Sure enough, Aunt Zhou immediately put on her coat and came downstairs.
"Miss Song, what's going on?"
Song Xia looked aggrieved: "I don't know. As soon as I got back, I found that the key couldn't open the door, and no matter how much I knocked, Mom wouldn't open it."
Zhou Fengmei scoffed: "What else could it be? Your good mother-in-law must have changed the lock cylinder while you were out looking for a job."
"Knock hard, I don't believe she won't open it." Later, Granny Liu curled her lip, "This Sun Xiurong is really getting worse as she gets older, and more and more confused. If she doesn't give you face, why should you give her face?"
Song Xia listened to them and tried even harder: "Mom, Mom, are you asleep? Open the door for me, Jiawei, I brought you some beef offal from your favorite place."
The neighbors saw that she was carrying a plastic bag. They recognized the packaging inside; it was from the beef offal and braised food stall at the street corner. Because it was located in a busy area, it was quite expensive, and they only bought from it a few times a year. Song Xia had been having such a big fight with Sun Xiurong these past few days, yet she was still willing to buy beef offal for Qin Jiawei. What a foolish woman.
Compared to this, Sun Xiurong and Qin Jiawei are even worse. They were thinking of finding a job to buy you food when they had no money, but you not only changed the locks, but also pretended not to hear when they knocked on the door.
They're all neighbors, don't they know how poor the soundproofing is in an old house? And sleeping at this hour, who are they trying to fool?
Inside the house, Qin Jiawei was tempted when he heard that there was beef offal, which he loved, but Sun Xiurong stopped him: "You're not allowed to go. That woman is definitely lying to you. If you want some, Grandma will buy it for you tomorrow. Who knows if she put any poison in it? Be careful she doesn't poison you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiawei actually stopped moving, his eyes darting around: "Grandma, then give me the money, I'll go buy it myself."
Sun Xiurong has witnessed firsthand how much money her grandson can spend these past few days, so she refused, saying, "Grandma will buy it for you when I take you to school tomorrow."
"No way!" Qin Jiawei immediately threw a tantrum and threatened, "I want to buy it myself. If you don't give me the money, I'll open the door for that bad woman."
Sun Xiurong couldn't help but get angry: "You child, how can you be so ungrateful?"
"I don't care, I just want the money."
Sun Xiurong was exasperated by his nagging: "Fine, fine, here's the money, fifty. That's all I have this time."
However, Qin Jiawei saw her counting the money and quickly grabbed it, which was at least several hundred yuan, before running back to his room.
"You little brat!" Sun Xiurong got up and chased after him, but because it was night and she didn't want Song Xia to come in, she didn't turn on the light. She tripped over a chair as soon as she got up and fell to the ground, groaning.
"Listen, there's a sound coming from inside!"
"I knew Sun Xiurong was pretending to be asleep and deliberately not opening the door."
"She's changed the locks. What's she up to? Does she think we're all clueless?"
Song Xia looked dejected, but still said worriedly, "Judging from Grandma's voice, something seems wrong. Should I call a locksmith first?"
“My husband used to be a locksmith, so I had him come.”
