Chapter 170 A Prodigal Son Returns
Wen You let go of Qu Tong and pouted: "Actually, there's nothing good about getting married. I'm so free and easy by myself. If I find a man like my dad who's good at pretending, my life will be ruined."
Qu Tong didn't say anything, waiting quietly for Wen You's next words.
Wen You propped his hands on the grass, leaned back, looked at the sky with a somewhat distracted gaze, and sighed:
"My mother is just a fool..."
Qu Tong could hear how gentle Wen You's voice was when she talked about her mother.
As a loyal listener, Qu Tong listened to Wen You talking about family matters intermittently.
The relationship between Wen You's mother and father is actually very difficult to evaluate.
Mother Wen and Father Wen were in love freely, and the two families were considered to be a good match.
Father Wen is a very careful, considerate and responsible person, at least he behaves that way at home and outside.
The relationship between the two was the kind that everyone around them envied, and Wen's mother was also extremely happy.
Father Wen attaches great importance to every holiday and anniversary and will remember to buy gifts for Mother Wen.
Father Wen remembers Mother Wen's menstrual period and will prepare medicine for her in advance. He will also personally cook her favorite Blue Star delicacies for her.
Wen's mother is a teacher and often stands during class. Wen's father feels sorry for her, so whenever he is at home, he will watch her soak her feet and give her a massage.
He would hold her in his arms when he slept at night, walk on the outside of the road when he went out, and protect her in front of all his relatives and friends.
Later, when Wen You became pregnant, Wen's father took a two-month long vacation and came back to take care of her all the time, fearing that she would get hurt.
He would stick to his mother's belly to listen to the baby's voice and happily discuss who the baby would look more like in the future.
I got up in the middle of the night to pour warm water for Wen's mother and help her massage her waist.
Such a meticulous man, knowing that his wife was pregnant, spent money to satisfy her physical needs outside.
He is the type who is only interested in the body and not the heart. He even clearly told the other party that he loves his wife very much and there is no possibility that there is any involvement between them except the transaction of money and sex.
But Wen's mother still found out.
Faced with Wen's mother's hysteria, Wen's father did not deny it, did not shirk responsibility, sincerely admitted his mistakes, and gently took care of Wen's mother's emotions.
I stayed up all night to stay by Wen's mother's side, fearing that she would be upset.
When Wen's mother wanted a divorce, Wen's father knelt down and begged her, repeatedly promising that such a thing would never happen again.
In the end, they got divorced. Wen's mother wanted the child, and Wen's father gave it to her. Wen's mother wanted half of the property, and Wen's father also gave it to her. He was even willing to leave the house with nothing, but Wen's mother didn't want it.
After the divorce, Wen's mother suffered from depression.
Wen's father was promoted during those years, but he would seize every opportunity to come back and accompany Wen's mother under the pretext of exercising visitation rights.
Wen's mother didn't survive for more than a few years and died of depression when Wen You was five years old.
Wen You said: "On the day his mother died, he left his post, rushed home, and cried heart-wrenchingly beside his mother's bed."
"It wasn't until three years after my mother died that he married my stepmother."
"My stepmother is the woman who made a deal with him before, haha."
Wen You laughed mockingly twice, then suddenly turned around and said to Qu Tong:
"I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. If he loves my mom in his heart, why would he cheat on her physically? Isn't it disgusting for him to be facing another woman?"
"He knew clearly that once he did some things, his mother would never forgive him, so why did he still do them?"
Qu Tong shook his head: "I don't understand either."
How would she know? She doesn't understand it either.
Say he is a scumbag, he does everything well except cheating.
You can say he is affectionate, but he still holds on to a lucky mentality even though he knows it is impossible.
Wen You's eyes suddenly became sharp: "If it were me with such a bad temper, I would have castrated him anyway. It's impossible for us to part ways amicably!"
Qu Tong: “…”
No comment.
"Tongtong, stop shaking your head all the time. Tell me what you think." Wen You insisted that Qu Tong express his opinion.
Qu Tong sighed and said, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold?' Although your father is not completely a prodigal son, it's almost the same idea."
Wen You suddenly stepped back, staring at Qu Tong in surprise with wide eyes: "You don't think that a harmonious family is the key to success like my group of stupid relatives, do you?"
Qu Tong smiled and said, "A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold, but I never pick up rags."
Wen You was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Excitedly, he was about to pat Qu Tong on the shoulder: "Well said, that makes sense."
Qu Tong dodged to the side, stood up and patted her skirt.
He looked up at the laptop and said, "Let's go back. It's late."
"Give me a hand." Wen You reached out to Qu Tong.
Considering what Wen You said today, Qu Tong mercifully extended his hand.
And then he was taken advantage of.
"Tongtong, your hands are so soft, they are different from mine which are exposed to the wind and sun."
Qu Tong pulled his hand back in disgust and glared at the disingenuous Wen You.
Wen You winked back at Qu Tong charmingly and affectionately.
Qu Tong: “…”
*
Back at the base, the robot at the door had red flashes in his eyes and said in a soft and cute mechanical voice: "Madam, good evening!"
Qu Tong stopped and tilted his head curiously. The robot's big eyes blinked. Although it had no emotion, Qu Tong found it somewhat cute.
Wen You flicked the robot with his fingers, and the robot cooperated by making a sound of "ouch".
"Cheng Feng is so idle that he likes to mess with Xiao Ai. He was full before and was overwhelmed. When Xiao Ai saw me, he called 'Wen Dazhuang is a pig'. I beat him into a pig' that night."
Qu Tong chuckled: "You two have a good relationship."
Wen You said nonchalantly, "It's good. Beating is love and scolding is affection. We have been fighting for more than 20 years. I should be closer to him than his biological father."
Then he pretended to sigh and said, "It's a pity that this rebellious son never calls me dad."
Qu Tong: “…”
She might have some understanding of why the two of them were always fighting, and that no fight was ever in vain.
Qu Tong and Wen You stayed in her room for a while. On the way, they stopped by Si Yuting's room door to take a look. Seeing that he hadn't returned yet, they went back to their room to rest.
Qu Tong didn't feel sleepy in the unfamiliar environment, so he turned on his laptop and checked some information.
Then she saw Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao tagging her in the group.
Cheng Yao: [@Qu Tong, Sister Tong, wait for us, we are also coming to the First Legion by aircraft. ]
Fei Wenxing: [I’m so excited. Finally I don’t have to listen to the chanting of boiled eggs. ]
Cheng Yao: [Sister Tong, come out and chat. How are you doing on Abel Planet? ]
Qu Tong replied: [Very good. ]
Qu Tong was kind enough not to break their fantasy. Let's be excited for a while now, otherwise they won't be excited anymore when the time comes.
Fei Wenxing: [This is my first time in the First Legion. Sister Tong, have you seen the ugly and terrifying Zerg? ]
Qu Tong: [Not yet, I just got here not long ago.]
Cheng Yao: [Sister Tong, who are you assigned to work for? I don’t know if we can be assigned together.]
Qu Tong: [They should not be grouped together. ]
Cheng Yao: [As long as I am not assigned to work under my brother, I will be thankful. My brother is a pervert! ]
Then Cheng Yao began to list in the group how his brother had trained him, an A-level loser, with SS-level standards.
This paragraph was inspired by a story on the Internet. When I first saw it, I was deeply touched and wrote it down.
It's the end of the month, please give me a ticket (*^▽^*)
My dears, you know that I want to drink two more cups of milk tea next month. Please give me monthly recommendation tickets, the more the better!
