Chapter 112: Let's have a good start
"Sister-in-law, let's go in first." Fang Mei pulled Deng Xiuzhen inside.
After Fang Mei poured Deng Xiuzhen a cup of tea, she took Qi Guomin out and said she was going to buy some more vegetables. The two old people watched TV with Deng Xiuzhen.
"What? They are divorced? That bastard!" Qi Guomin gritted his teeth.
"We're already divorced, so don't make things more complicated!" Fang Mei glanced at Qi Guomin with a reproachful look and said, "Sister-in-law has no place to live now, so I said that my family just happened to have a vacant house. I thought that she and Wen Jing could live here alone, and it would be safe and quiet, which is more suitable for Wen Jing to study, so I brought her here.
What I told her was that our house was vacant and ready to be rented out, so don’t let it slip.”
"Don't worry, I won't let anything slip. Honey, you did a good job on this matter. We are her backers!" Qi Guomin thought for a moment and said, "After dinner, you can accompany her to pack her things. I will arrange for someone to move. Stay at Anzi's house for a few days first. Anzi won't be back for a while anyway."
The couple discussed it and bought some meat dishes.
Fang Mei asked Deng Xiuzhen to help her cook, and Qi Guomin took the opportunity to tell his parents about Deng Xiuzhen's situation.
The two old people agreed without hesitation. They knew that Deng Xiuzhen had helped find their grandson and had used all her own belongings to pay for their son's materials, allowing his company to keep going.
This kindness cannot be repaid by simply giving me a house to live in for a while!
"Fang Mei, the vacant house you are talking about is not this one, right?" Deng Xiuzhen asked hesitantly.
"That's it. We're moving to a new house, and we were worried that no one would take care of it. Now it's good, someone is looking after the house, and it's someone who makes me feel especially at ease." Fang Mei answered Deng Xiuzhen while cooking with a sweet smile.
"I can't stay here for a few days either. You can rent this house for a good price..."
Fang Mei interrupted Deng Xiuzhen and said, "I can rent it for a good price, but if I meet someone who doesn't cherish it, it won't be worth it. I'd rather rent it to you so I can rest assured!"
The Qi family reached a consensus, and even their words were exactly the same: they were going to move to a new house and rent this place out.
After dinner, Fang Mei accompanied Deng Xiuzhen to find someone to move all of Deng Xiuzhen and Wen Jing’s belongings over and put them away neatly.
Tan Yanlin hadn't adjusted yet. He was having dinner with a client in the evening, but before he started, he received a call from Wen Xin and Wen Yu: "Dad, we don't have any food. We are starving!"
"Your mother..." I was just about to ask why your mother was not at home again, when I suddenly remembered that I was getting divorced today. Deng Xiuzhen said that she would move out after the divorce, and I was afraid that she really moved out.
He really ran away. Where did he go?
For a moment, he really wanted to overturn the table and smash the place!
Looking at the clients, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. He couldn't afford to offend these clients. Not to mention overturning the table, even talking to them without a flattering smile was not acceptable.
He asked the children to buy some food to fill their stomachs first, and he would bring them some delicious food later. This temporarily solved the children's problem.
After dinner, he sent the drunk Tian Yutong back home and hurried home. He had to go back to check the situation.
"Dad, Dad!" Wen Xin and Wen Yu ran up and surrounded him, shouting, their voices full of grievance.
Tan Yanlin threw the packed food to them and went straight into the house.
Although he had guessed that Deng Xiuzhen might have left when Wen Xin and Wen Yu called, he still couldn't help but go to take a look.
"Where's your mother?" Not seeing Deng Xiuzhen and Wen Yu, Qin Yanlin took a few steps back and shouted loudly.
Wen Yu shivered with fear, looked up at Tan Yanlin, and it took him a long time to react. He replied in a low voice: "I don't know, she may have really moved away."
"She moved away, you won't stop her?!"
Wen Yu lowered his head and said nothing, only muttering in his heart: Why don't you stop them? You will just blame us!
Wen Xin didn't say a word from beginning to end, just ate calmly. She felt that she understood her father: he felt that his mother was really gone, which made him seem unimportant and damaged his masculine prestige. He was not convinced and roared a few times to vent his anger, but it would not do anything to them.
After Qin Yanlin yelled a few times, he felt a little distressed when he saw the two children cowering, and his anger dissipated a little.
Give each of the two children twenty yuan and let them have dinner at school before going home tomorrow.
The two children nodded hurriedly. They had hot dry noodles for 50 cents for breakfast, and boxed lunches for lunch and dinner. Each boxed lunch included two meat dishes and one vegetable and cost 2.5 yuan. Their food and water for the day were solved with 6 yuan, and they had more than ten yuan left at their disposal.
You have to know that Deng Xiuzhen only gave them two dollars a day, and they had to rush back to eat at noon and come back after school in the evening, otherwise they would not be able to have dinner.
Especially Wenxin, who had to attend evening self-study classes at night. Most of the time, she would come back to eat after the classes. If she was hungry, she could only buy a bowl of hot dry noodles or a steamed bun to fill her stomach.
Now I don’t have to run back and forth at noon, and I don’t have to eat steamed buns at night.
It’s better that my mother is gone! I have money, time, and can wear my own beautiful clothes!
Wen Xin and Wen Yu were both delighted.
The next day, Qin Yanlin went to Wenjing's school to look for her, but was scolded by Wenjing. He was so angry that he wanted to break off the father-daughter relationship on the spot.
Wen Jing snorted coldly and turned away gracefully.
Tan Yanlin was so angry that veins on his forehead were bulging, but he had no idea what to do.
Thinking that if he found Deng Xiuzhen now, she would probably have the same attitude as Wen Jing, he decided to follow Xu Gang's advice and leave the mother and daughter alone until they ran out of money and couldn't make ends meet before they came to him for help.
As for Wen Xin and Wen Yu, he also found someone to take care of them: he brought his parents up.
My parents always wanted to come up, but Deng Xiuzhen had a tense relationship with them, so in order to avoid conflict, they didn't agree.
People in the village said that he had forgotten his mother after he got married, and that he had a black heart, a bad lung, and a rotten liver.
My friend occasionally talked about filial piety, saying that mothers are unique, but wives can be replaced. Every time he talked about it, he felt ashamed and dared not say a word.
Now, I can bring my parents over and proudly talk about this topic in front of my friends, which can give me face.
He felt the benefits of not having Deng Xiuzhen.
In a blink of an eye, it was July 6th. Deng Xiuzhen and her daughter checked again the items they would need for tomorrow's exam. At nine o'clock, Deng Xiuzhen urged Wen Jing to go to bed early.
Before going to bed, Deng Xiuzhen placed a red T-shirt beside the bed and told Wen Jing to change into it the next morning.
Wen Jing looked at it and asked in confusion: "Mom, when did you buy me new clothes? And they are red. Don't you usually tell me to wear plain clothes?"
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Mom bought you a few pieces. These are for tomorrow. You have to wear red on the first day of the college entrance examination. We want to have a good start."
Wen Jing also laughed: "What should I wear the day after tomorrow?"
Deng Xiuzhen replied: "The yellow T-shirt and grey pants I will give you the day after tomorrow represent your path to glory."
