Chapter 196: This is very simple
After folding the clothes and putting them in the closet, making the bed, and preparing dinner for the old man, Deng Xiuzhen and Yan Wenying went back.
"Xiaoying, have you been here before?" Deng Xiuzhen asked casually.
"No!" Yan Wenying answered in a relaxed tone.
"Then you have a pretty good sense. You were able to find Grandma Liao's house directly the first time you came." Deng Xiuzhen smiled.
"This is very simple. Although there are forks in this alley, only this one is relatively flat and free of debris and weeds. When you talked about Sister Liu, you said that there is only one family living here. That flat road must lead to Grandma Liao's house!" Yan Wenying was a little proud.
"Xiaoying, I didn't realize that you have such strong observation and analytical skills!" After hearing what Yan Wenying said, Deng Xiuzhen looked at the ground and saw that there was a big difference between the roads that were often walked on and those that were seldom walked on.
The doubts in her heart dissipated, and Deng Xiuzhen gave Yan Wenying a thumbs up. Her injured hand, which was holding something, moved the wound, and she shook reflexively, and the thing in her hand fell off.
Yan Wenying came over to help and said as she picked up the things: "How can I have the ability that Sister Deng said? This time it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and I got it right by chance."
"You are the only one who is modest!" Deng Xiuzhen glanced at Yan Wenying with a smile.
Yan Wenying just laughed.
When they returned to the company, it was already past the closing time and Xiao Su was the only one left waiting for them.
Xiao Su told Deng Xiuzhen that Zhang Liuying had children at home, so she didn't wait for Deng Xiuzhen.
Zhang Liuying took Lanlan back first.
When Zhang Liuying left, she told Deng Xiuzhen that if she wanted to pick up Lanlan, she could go and pick her up, and take Lanlan's clothes and belongings with her.
"How about I go with you to pick it up?" Yan Wenying said.
Deng Xiuzhen shook her head and said, "I'm a little tired today, and it's late. I can take Lanlan home tomorrow when Xiao Zhang brings her here."
"But……"
"Okay, okay, go home and rest early. Be nice to Lanlan and don't mind this night." Deng Xiuzhen interrupted Yan Wenying and said.
She was actually a little worried, although she couldn't think of any reason why Zhang Liuying would harm Liu Youzhen.
But there are still many suspicious points about Zhang Liuying himself.
But she was working today and felt that the injury on her hand needed to heal and was not suitable for taking care of the child.
Yan Wenying didn't say anything else. The two of them put their things away and walked home together.
Deng Xiuzhen returned home and was surprised to find her three children were at home. Then she remembered that today was Friday.
Students of that era did not have any extra classes on weekends and went home after school.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Wen Xin asked while setting the table.
"Your father..." Deng Xiuzhen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your father has gone out of town to discuss business. He probably won't be back in the next two days."
"Then I'll call him." Wen Yu reached out to Deng Xiuzhen for the phone.
"What if he is accompanying a client? It would be bad to disturb him." Deng Xiuzhen made up an excuse.
"Then let's not fight. Dad will be back in a few days anyway. I'll go serve the dishes, and you sit down and have a rest, Mom." Since the family split up, he and Wen Xin were separated by Tan Yanlin. After enduring hardships and returning to Deng Xiuzhen, Wen Xin and Wen Yu became particularly obedient and never disobeyed Deng Xiuzhen.
At the dinner table, the three children chattered about school. Deng Xiuzhen listened with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Just then, Wen Jing's phone rang.
Wen Xin and Wen Yu looked over at the same time, with envy in their eyes, but no jealousy.
Deng Xiuzhen said: If they have good grades, I will buy them mobile phones next year.
Wen Jing frowned when she saw the caller ID, and hesitated before answering the call.
"What's the matter?" Deng Xiuzhen asked with concern.
"This is a classmate of mine. I feel that her personality is not compatible with mine, but she pesters me every day and I can't refuse her." Wen Jing said with a pout.
"Male classmates, female classmates?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
"Sister, is there someone pursuing you?" Wen Xin's eyes were gleaming with gossip.
Wen Yu also looked up.
"What are you talking about? It's a female classmate! I'm still young, how could anyone chase me?" Wen Jing blushed.
When the time came, the phone stopped ringing.
Everyone started to make fun of Wen Jing. Wen Xin and Wen Yu said, "Sister, you are not young anymore. You are already in your twenties. You can have a boyfriend now."
Deng Xiuzhen also said: "We can talk if we meet the right person." She has lived two lives and has seen parents get very anxious when their children don't get married or have children.
She also witnessed a neighbor who opposed her daughter's early love, and her daughter couldn't find a suitable partner later. A neighbor ran into her daughter's early love partner on the street and chased him for two blocks, wanting to bring him back to marry his daughter.
I never thought that they got married and made such a joke.
Hear what Deng Xiuzhen and the others said.
Wen Jing's face turned even redder, and just as she was about to get up, the phone rang again.
Wen Jing frowned again.
"Is it that person again?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
Wen Jing nodded.
"Turn on the speakerphone and answer the call. I want to hear what she says," said Deng Xiuzhen.
Wen Jing answered the phone as instructed and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, Wenjing, why haven't you answered the phone for so long? I'm heartbroken, can you come over and keep me company tonight?" As soon as the call was connected, the other party's words came through.
"I'm sorry, I don't go out at night. My mother doesn't allow me to." Wen Jing replied.
"You are already in your twenties, how come you don't have any opinion of your own and still listen to your mother? I started disobeying my mother when I was ten years old!" There was obvious disdain in the other person's tone.
"That's you. I'm willing to listen to my mother! If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up." Wen Jing said coldly.
"Hey, no, no, no! Instead of spending the night outside, can you come out and sit and chat with me? I've been heartbroken, and I feel very sad. Can you just come and keep me company? Please?" the other person begged.
Wen Jing said nothing and looked at Deng Xiuzhen.
Deng Xiuzhen shook her head.
Wen Jing firmly declined.
The other party mumbled a few words and finally hung up the phone.
"Is she your classmate? Do you know her? Do you have much contact with her?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
"Her name is Yu Min. She is not my classmate, but a student of another major. She is my roommate and best friend.
My classmate’s personality is a bit like mine before. He is very eager to help others and is very good to Min.
I often brought her to play with us, and then we became familiar with each other.
Just from meeting him, I feel that Yu Min is a bit selfish, two-faced, and his words are a bit weird. I can't put my finger on it, but I feel that he is a bit fake.
Moreover, her boyfriend has some personality problems. I heard from my classmates that Yu Min had been beaten several times.
As soon as she was beaten, Yu Min said she wanted to break up, but the man coaxed her and they reconciled. I don’t like this kind of person.” Wen Jing replied.
"Wenjing, you are right. Never contact her in the future!" Deng Xiuzhen said, telling the children a true story.
Two girls rented a house together, and one of them, Liu Xin, moved out because she had a boyfriend.
But not long after, Liu Xin came back and said that her boyfriend was not a human being and she wanted to break up.
The kind-hearted Jiang Ge accepted Liu Xin again, and the two continued to share the apartment.
Then one night when the two were returning home, the man came over and wanted to take Liu Xin away.
Jiang Ge pulled Liu Xin behind him to protect her.
When the man came to pull Liu Xin, Jiang Ge stopped him.
As a result, Liu Xin ran into the room and locked the door.
Jiang Ge was left outside and hacked to death by the man.
…
After Deng Xiuzhen finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
After a long while, Wen Xin spoke first: "Mom, that Liu Xin is so mean!"
Wen Jing pursed her lips, took a sip of water and said, "Mom, her boyfriend shouldn't be that cruel, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, it's best to be careful in everything." Deng Xiuzhen said.
"It's hard to say. People's hearts are naturally both good and evil. When evil is released, if it is not corrected, it may get worse and worse. You don't know how bad the human heart can be." Wen Yu said in a low voice.
"That's right, Wen Yu. What you said makes a lot of sense!" Deng Xiuzhen praised.
"What's the big deal? It's all taught me by my teacher." Wen Yu's expression was calm, as if he didn't care about the praise. However, his sparkling eyes and the smile on his face betrayed him.
"What Wen Yu said makes sense. When I get back to school, I will remind my roommate." Wen Jing said with a smile.
"Well, I do need to remind them. But if you can persuade them, then persuade them. If you really can't persuade them, don't force it. Not everyone will listen to good words.
Just don't date that girl anymore.
I really don’t know what kind of family would raise a child like Liu Xin.” Deng Xiuzhen said, shaking her head.
Wen Jing thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I heard from my classmate that her best friend's parents used to make money doing business outside, but later they lost a lot of money, and now they even rent a house.
But people in their village didn't know and thought they were very rich.
In order to pretend to be rich, her parents would rent a nice car every time they returned to the village, and then hide away to eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables..."
