"Sigh~ This is the path she chose herself. Qin Huairu is not very educated. She is actually a traditional woman. She obeys her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death. She believes that her son is her everything. So in her heart, nothing is more important than her son, including her own happiness."
This is a tragedy, isn't it? It's related to her family environment when she was young. If she had received more education back then, she wouldn't be doing this now.
As he walked toward the intersection, Li Chu remarked with some emotion.
"Also, haven't you noticed something rather mysterious? Qin Huairu's fate is too tough; she seems to bring misfortune to everyone close to her."
None of them expected that such a sentence would come out of his mouth.
"Brother Chu, when did you start talking about metaphysics?" Xu Damao found it somewhat unbelievable.
Ding Qiunan, Lou Xiao'e, and Wang Yueyue, the three women, covered their mouths and laughed.
Wenxuan even took a few quick steps forward, constantly turning his head to look, wanting to see clearly whether those words were actually spoken by his father.
"Da Mao, I was just saying!" Li Chu waved his hand, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Xuan, who was walking beside him, with a strange expression.
"Wenxuan, what are you doing? Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Hehe, Dad, I just think it's strange that you could say something like that."
“I think you’re the one who’s strange. Think about it yourselves. First it was Jia Dongxu, then her mother-in-law, and finally Zhuzi. One after another, and then her son. Although Banggeng is still alive, he’s in jail. He’s pretty unlucky, isn’t he?”
Then there are her two daughters. Huaihua figured things out early and, after starting work around mealtimes, she basically stopped contacting her family. You could say she's not close to her anymore, so Huaihua is doing quite well now. Xiaodang is obedient to Qin Huairu, right? What do you think of the result? If Qin Huairu hadn't gone south, who knows what kind of mess she would have made of Xiaodang.”
After hearing what he said, the group thought about it and it seemed to make a lot of sense.
"Brother Chu, what you said makes me feel a bit cold." Xu Damao raised his right hand and touched his left arm a couple of times.
"Nonsense, how can I not be cold? Look at what you're wearing! What kind of weather is this and you're dressed so thinly? Hurry up and get in the car so we can take you home quickly, lest you catch a cold. Xiao'e, go back and make him a bowl of ginger soup to warm him up."
After he said that, the group realized that Xu Damao was only wearing a single jacket. He had just returned from the south at noon, where it was much warmer than here.
"I know, Brother Chu. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it."
Xu Damao himself only just realized it.
"Ha, I knew it! I felt a bit cold. I thought you were exaggerating."
“I said it was just a joke, just have a laugh, but please don’t take it seriously.”
The group quickened their pace and soon emerged from the alley and arrived at the car.
When I came over, I was driving Wenxuan's Jeep. These kinds of cars are really amazing. They don't look very big, but they can fit a lot of people inside. It was easy and pleasant for six of them to sit in them.
Wenxuan drove, and Li Chu sat in the passenger seat. After the car started, he turned his head and said, "By the way, Damao, Xiao'e, the case of the Fu family is completely over. When we get back, tell Uncle Lou not to worry anymore and to go about his business."
"Brother Chu, was it Fu Quan'an who did it?"
The Fu Quan'an that Lou Xiao'e mentioned was the youngest son of the Fu family. They had known each other since childhood, and they were shocked when they heard that he had been taken away for involvement in a case.
Li Chu shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific process, but since he hasn't been released, it must be related to him. In short, make sure your father doesn't have to worry about any other accidents happening."
"Thank you, Brother Chu. I'll tell my dad when I get back."
"No need to be polite. Please give my regards to Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou. I'll treat them to dinner this weekend as a way to calm their nerves."
“My family owns a restaurant, how can we let you treat us? Come over on Sunday noon, I’ll arrange Tan Family Cuisine for us.”
"That's great, then I won't stand on ceremony. It's been a while since I've had Tan family cuisine."
"By the way, Damao, you asked me to inquire about that old 212 truck that's almost scrapped. Do you want it? It's not expensive, basically the kind that they'll sell for whatever price you ask for. But you'll have to clean it up properly before you can use it, and the repair costs might be quite high."
"Yes, yes, of course I want it, as long as it's fixed and can be driven." Xu Damao immediately perked up when the car was mentioned.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a car that's almost scrapped; there are plenty of people waiting to buy it. If you don't have any connections, you can forget about buying it.
"Alright, I'll have someone come to the store to find you tomorrow or the day after. You can go with him then, and afterward, just give him a few packs of similar cigarettes."
"Hehe, got it."
Lou Xiao'e was very supportive of buying a car for the family. Summer was alright, but in the dead of winter, her husband would ride his tricycle out to buy groceries before dawn and come back freezing cold. He would crawl onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and not recover for a long time. It broke her heart to see him like that. Having a car would save him a lot of suffering.
"Once you get there, listen to him. Don't say anything unnecessary. Just give him whatever amount he asks for. It won't exceed a thousand at most."
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
"Okay, I understand."
After dropping the couple off at home, Wenxuan turned the car around and drove back to his own house.
"Li Chu, do you think Qin Huairu will never come back in this lifetime?"
"Who can say for sure? That woman has a ruthless streak; she can't be judged by ordinary standards."
"I suddenly felt sorry for her; she didn't live with any sense of self."
"Hehe, you don't need to pity her. Who caused this situation? It's all her own fault."
Putting everything else aside, if they had called Banggeng back from his escape to the countryside three years ago and given him a talking-to at the police station, he wouldn't have ended up running off to the south. Banggeng is the way he is now because she and her mother-in-law spoiled him since he was little; he's good at causing trouble but not at calming it down.
At this point, Li Chu glanced at Wen Xuan, who was driving, and then looked at Wang Yueyue in the back seat: "You two also need to remember that you can love the child, but you absolutely cannot spoil him. The child is still young, so if you find that he is doing something wrong, you should correct him in time, so that he will not grow up to be crooked."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yueyue pouted and complained, "Dad Chu, you're the one who spoils the kids the most in our family, okay?"
"Huh? Haha... Haha, I'll be more careful in the future." Li Chu turned his head to look out the window, somewhat embarrassed, and didn't say another word.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the back row were laughing so hard they were practically falling over.
Wenxuan dared not laugh. He tried to purse his lips and pressed the accelerator a little deeper.
