After hearing Du Ruo's words, Han's father and mother's hearts suddenly jumped. Could it be that she knew something?
Du Ruo saw Han's father and mother looking at each other with guilty expressions, and sneered in his heart. Han Ming was not missing at all. He smuggled himself to Gangcheng and married the daughter of a wealthy family. Now they are in love with each other.
Father Han coughed lightly and said to Du Ruo, "Second brother, if you don't trust us to take care of your child, you can find someone else to take care of the child. I won't stop you. You can do whatever you want."
He then dragged Han's mother into the house. Liu Mei looked at Du Ruo and sneered in her heart. What's the point of looking like a vixen? Wasn't she thrown away by her own man?
She turned around and went back to the house, not wanting to bother with the little goblin.
Du Ruo led her son into the house. Seeing that Han Zhe kept his head down, she held her son in her arms and said softly, "What your father is like has nothing to do with us. You are your mother's son. As long as your mother is here, no one will bully you."
Han Zhe raised his little face and looked at his mother. He said worriedly, "I'm afraid you'll get sick."
Du Ruo paused. She had been working overtime for the past few days and was indeed very tired. She said, "It's okay. If you're sick, just take medicine. After we have lunch, Mom will go buy medicine, okay?"
Whether it was needed or not, Du Ruo decided to buy some medicine and keep it at home. She absolutely could not let her son go out to buy medicine for her again.
Han Zhe's eyes lit up. He knew this. If you are sick, just take medicine. If you have medicine at home, you don't have to worry.
He nodded desperately and said, "I'll stay at home and not go anywhere. Mom, can you go buy some medicine?"
Du Ruo touched his little face and said, "Look how dirty you are. Mom will wash your hands and face first. Then we'll make some instant noodles. After you're full, Mom will go buy some medicine."
Du Ruo washed Han Zhe, changed his clothes, went to the kitchen to clean the electric frying pan, and prepared to cook noodles.
Looking at the electric frying pan, Du Ruo fell into deep thought.
This electric frying pan is a rare item. It was a new product a few years ago and is only now becoming widely used.
Han Ming had someone bring it back when Du Ruo was pregnant with Han Zhe. He was afraid that she would be hungry at night, so he used it to prepare special food for her.
Han Ming is a man of few words. He rarely jokes with others outside, but he is very gentle to her at home.
But no matter how intoxicating the gentleness of the land is, it cannot compare to a man's strong ambition.
Du Ruo put the instant noodles into the pot. Xiaozhe raised his little face and stared at the pot without blinking, which made Du Ruo laugh.
She touched her son's head, feeling a little sad. Even if she earned more money later, it would be useless because her son would always remain at the age where he couldn't even afford instant noodles.
The mother and son had a hearty meal of hot noodles. Xiaozhe was smiling happily, but he still didn't forget to buy medicine.
Xiaozhe pulled his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, go buy some medicine. I'll wait for you at home."
Du Ruo looked at her son's worried eyes, stood up and said, "Mom is going to buy medicine. You lock the door in the house and wait for Mom to come back."
Han Zhe nodded seriously and urged his mother to go quickly.
When Du Ruo opened the door and came out, she saw Liu Mei leaning against the door of the opposite room eating melon seeds. When she saw Du Ruo, she gave a contemptuous smile.
She said loudly: "Some people look alluring and charming, like little vixens. In ancient times, this was called "beauty brings disaster". If a man marries a woman like this, he will definitely be unlucky. If he marries another wife, she will leave immediately. I'm a little angry. It's all the women in the family who are causing trouble."
Du Ruo looked her up and down. She had droopy eyebrows, dead fish eyes, and lips that were painted red. From eating melon seeds, her lips had turned dark red, which looked very funny.
She said: "I don't quite understand what you are saying, sister-in-law, how about you explain it to me in detail?
Besides, I don’t know if men are unlucky or not, but I think some men wake up in the middle of the night several times in fear, and their lives are not easy.”
Du Ruo finished speaking and turned to leave. Liu Mei threw the melon seeds to the ground, pinched her waist angrily and said, "Come back here! Who are you talking to? Come back!"
Du Ruocai ignored her and walked out.
Liu Mei was furious when she heard Han's mother say, "Old lady, what are you talking about all day? You're turning a deaf ear to what I say, aren't you?"
Liu Mei suddenly felt guilty. She had recently heard about Han Ming's affairs from her husband Han Yan. Her mother-in-law had repeatedly told her not to talk nonsense. She got angry when she looked at Du Ruo and couldn't help herself.
Now hearing her mother-in-law questioning her, Liu Mei whispered, "Mom, I know." She lowered her head and slipped into their room.
Father Han said, "We just contacted the second son last week. We must not let his family know about this.
If there's a commotion and word gets out to them, the second brother's future will be over. We have to wait until he's established himself."
Han's mother said, "Or we can confront the second brother's family and force her to divorce and leave."
Han's father said, "That won't work. Xiaozhe is involved. If the quarrel breaks out, the second son won't be in the right. Let's just drag it out."
Didn't the second brother say that he would come and pick up our whole family in a while? Then, we can sell the house and leave secretly so that she can't find us, and this matter will be over, right?
Mother Han nodded and said, "Let's do it."
Du Ruo walked across the street and went to the state-owned pharmacy on the corner.
There are no good antipyretic drugs now, so I bought a box of Antongding and a few painkillers, and asked for two small bottles of oral penicillin.
Du Ruo was carrying the things on his way home. When he passed by an alley, he saw an old couple arguing with each other.
The old lady said, "My grandson didn't do it on purpose. He just took it out to play with it for a bit, and your thing broke on its own. Who are you trying to blackmail?"
The old man was so angry that his face turned red: "I kept this thing in my study. It was in good condition for decades. But when he took it out, it broke. If I don't look for him, who else can I look for?"
The old lady also knew she was in the wrong. She said, "That's our grandson. What do you think we should do if we hurt him? Can we kill him?"
The old man's hands were shaking with anger, and the old lady was afraid that he would get sick from anger, so she coaxed him, saying, "It's just a fallen branch. Go to the jade market tomorrow and find a master to fix it for you. It's the same thing."
The old man said, "Is it that easy to find? There's only one technician in our jade factory. I've seen his skills before, and he's not capable of repairing something this delicate."
The old lady was at a loss. She asked, "Then what do you say we should do?"
Du Ruo said: "The damaged area is not large, it should not be difficult to repair."
The old man was amused by her. He said, "You little girl, what do you know? It's not difficult to repair. Do you know what this is?"
Du Ruo said: "This is a jade fairy peach-shaped washbasin, which was used to wash brushes in the study in ancient times.
What is rare is that the jade base of this brush washer is uniform in thickness, the green floating flowers are rich and even, and the peach branches at the bottom are exquisitely carved. It is indeed a rare treasure."
