Without waiting for introductions, Zhou Xilai stepped forward and spoke first: "Hello, big brother and sister-in-law! My name is Zhou Xilai, and I'm Lin Qingqing's uncle. You must be Wei Xiaobao's parents, right? Xiaobao invited me here today, and I couldn't refuse, so I came along. I'm sorry to both of you."
Wei Xiaobao kicked him hard from behind, and Zhou Xilai screamed exaggeratedly.
Wei Dalei quickly blamed his daughter: "Xiaobao, how could you kick someone? Brother Zhou is the uncle of your benefactor. We should treat him warmly. Why don't you lead him into the house?"
Wei Xiaobao gritted his teeth and led Zhou Xilai into the house.
Unexpectedly, there was an old lady with silver hair sitting in the middle of the main hall. The old lady was holding a cane, her hair was combed meticulously, and she wore two big pearl earrings on her ears. She looked wealthy.
When Lin Qingqing saw her, she called her "Grandma" sweetly.
Zhou Xilai's mind worked quickly. Since his niece-in-law called him "Grandma," he should naturally call her "Auntie." He hurried over on his short legs and said, "I was wondering why you seemed so kind. It turns out you're Auntie! Hello, Auntie. Your nephew is polite!"
Zhou Xilai said this while clasping his fists and bowing.
Although the old lady didn't know this man, when she saw that he came in with Xiaobao, she knew he was not a stranger and burst out laughing.
"This child is good. I like him. Let Xiaobao take you to play."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Zhou Xilai didn't play with Wei Xiaobao, but went to the kitchen to help. Wei Xiaobao and Lin Qingqing stayed there to talk to the old lady.
When Wei Dalei saw Zhou Xilai coming in to help, his favorability towards him increased several degrees.
Wei Dabao cracked melon seeds and chatted with him: "How old is Xiao Zhou this year? What does he do for a living?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm 29 years old and a freelancer."
"Oh, are you married?"
"Sister-in-law, this is a long story. I grew up without parents, and was raised by my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Later, my eldest brother also passed away, and it was all up to my sister-in-law to raise me and my two nephews. Later, when I grew up, my family also had marriage proposals.
But I felt that my elder sister-in-law had done a lot of work in raising me, so I wanted to repay her and let her and my nephews live a good life. However, I went astray and not only did I fail to repay my elder sister-in-law for raising me, but I ended up in jail for several years and was only released six months ago.
Wei Dabao's heart skipped a beat.
However, since the guest was brought back by her daughter, she couldn't say anything and still kept smiling.
…
They had a very pleasant meal. During the meal, Lin Qingqing asked Wei Dabao to help find someone, and she agreed immediately.
After dinner, Lin Qingqing said she was going to school in the afternoon and would not go with them. Wei Dalei asked for a taxi and sent Lin Qingqing away.
Wei Xiaobao and Zhou Xilai were going to the store to repair their bicycle tires.
After the two groups left, Wei Dabao and Wei Dalei huddled together and muttered, "Hubby, this Zhou Xilai has been in jail. If our daughter makes friends with someone like him, she won't be led astray by him, will she?"
The old lady's eyes were very sharp. She turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I don't think this child is a bad person. There must be some hidden secrets."
Wei Dalei nodded: "Mom is right, I don't think Xiao Zhou is a bad person. Besides, there is Xiao Lin. If Xiao Zhou is really a bad person, Xiao Lin would not let our daughter bring him home."
"Hubby, I'm still worried. Why don't you ask someone to check Xiao Zhou's criminal record to find out what's going on?"
