Li Mu and Zhou Qiang hurried over to meet them.
"Grandma, these are all for you. We will take them back when we go home in the evening." Zhou Qiang put a big bag of things in front of Grandma Zhou.
Li Mu listened to Zhou Qiang's words and kept looking around the room. He looked around but did not see his wife and daughter.
So he asked Grandma Zhou, "Grandma, where is Xiaowan? Why isn't she at home?"
"Xiaowan went to buy groceries. Ruoruo was supposed to be at home, but she insisted on going out with Xiaowan. I'll wait for you to come back home." Grandma Zhou said with a smile.
It can be seen that Grandma Zhou is very happy because Zhou Qiang is back.
Li Mu smiled, put the things into the house, and went out to chat with Grandma Zhou.
"Brother, I hope you don't think about what happened with Uncle Li and the others anymore." Zhou Qiang looked at Li Mu with concern in his eyes.
Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Li Mu stood there in a daze. The hatred that had been buried in his heart crept up to his mind. He clenched his fists unconsciously, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Seeing Li Mu in such a state, Zhou Qiang regretted that he should not have said this matter at this time, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
...
...
At this moment, Grandma Zhou shouted anxiously: "Xiao Mu! Calm down."
Li Mu, who was already extremely angry and about to explode, heard Grandma Zhou's voice, which was like a breeze blowing through his heart, and gradually calmed Li Mu down.
After adjusting his emotions for a while, he whispered, "I know, grandma."
Lin Wan walked in from the door holding Ruoruo's hand, and saw a strange atmosphere between the three of them, so she asked:
"What's wrong?"
Li Mu, who was still trying to adjust his mood, saw Lin Wan forcing a smile and spoke as if to change the subject.
"I bought clothes for you and Ruoruo, go try them on, I'll cook."
Li Mu walked up quickly, took the dish from Lin Wan, and turned into the kitchen.
This made Lin Wan a little confused, but she didn't ask any questions. She said hello to Grandma Wang and Zhou Qiang, and took Ruoruo into the house to try on clothes.
When Grandma Wang saw Lin Wan's reaction, she guessed that Lin Wan didn't know about Xiaomu's parents' affairs, and she didn't want Zhou Qiang to let it slip for the sake of dinner tonight.
So he pulled Zhou Qiang aside and whispered:
"When we have dinner tonight, you must not talk about your brother's affairs at the table, understand?"
When Zhou Qiang heard what his grandmother said, he was full of questions, so he asked an additional question.
Knowing that Lin Wan might not know, Zhou Qiang gestured at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he would definitely keep his mouth shut to avoid saying something wrong.
When Lin Wan brought Ruoruo back to the room, she saw several shopping bags on the table, so she took out each one and tried them on.
She found that Li Mu not only had good taste, but also that the clothes he bought for her and Ruoruo fit them well. So she simply chose a set of satisfactory clothes and had Ruoruo and herself wear them.
Pulling Ruoruo, he couldn't wait to walk towards Li Mu who was busy in the kitchen.
Originally, Li Mu had planned to bury this hatred deep in his heart until Wang Jianguo was found out.
If Li Mu had not built up more powerful abilities, he would have lived an honest and good life. However, Zhou Qiangwen's words today put Li Mu in danger again.
When I was cutting vegetables, I was a little distracted and almost cut my hand.
Fortunately, Lin Wan shouted, otherwise we might not be able to have this meal tonight.
"Li Mu, does it look good?"
Hearing Lin Wan's voice, Li Mu turned around and saw Lin Wan, wearing a skirt and pigtails, standing at the kitchen door. Her half-covered legs looked even smoother and more flawless in the sunlight.
Lin Wan saw that Li Mu's kitchen knife almost cut his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Li Mu, be careful, you will cut your hand if you cut it again."
Then he quickly walked forward and snatched it away without waiting for Li Mu to say anything.
Lin Wan pushed Li Mu out of the door and shouted to Zhou Qiang, "Take your brother away. I don't know what's wrong with him every day. He is always in a daze."
Hearing Lin Wan's cry, Zhou Qiang took a step forward and pulled Li Mu aside, whispering, "Brother, don't think about it. Have a cigarette and relax. It's useless to think too much now, you know? Just live a good life."
Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu silently took the cigarette handed to him by Zhou Qiang, lit it quietly, took a deep breath, and felt that the depression in his heart was dispelled a lot.
The two men squatted in the corner without saying anything. Zhou Qiang just accompanied Li Mu silently.
"It's time to eat, grandma. Hmm? Where are Li Mu and the others?" Lin Wan brought out the dishes and invited everyone to eat.
I looked right and left and found that only Grandma Zhou and Ruoruo were playing in the yard, and I didn't see the two brothers.
Seeing this, Lin Wan frowned, feeling vaguely that something was wrong with Li Mu recently. He would be in a daze all the time, and sometimes he would not respond when she called him.
"Could it be? Could it be that there is someone outside?" Thinking of this, Lin Wan's heart tightened and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
When the two brothers heard Lin Wan's shout, they threw away the half-burned cigarette in their hands, stood up, dusted off the ashes, and walked into the yard.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not as joyful as usual. Only Ruoruo and Grandma Zhou were talking. Even Lin Wan, who usually would joke with Grandma Zhou no matter what, was silent at this moment.
The meal ended faster than ever before. After they cleaned up a bit, Zhou Qiang accompanied Li Mu to set up the stall.
Grandma Zhou stayed at home and chatted with Lin Wan.
When they were eating just now, Grandma Zhou noticed that Lin Wan might have some doubts in her heart, so she decided to have a good talk with Lin Wan after the two brothers left.
————————————————-
After Li Mu and Zhou Qiang disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Grandma Zhou waved and called Lin Wan over.
"Xiao Wan, come here for a moment, do you have anything you want to ask Li Mu?"
Lin Wan was a little surprised to hear what Grandma Zhou said, but on second thought, she felt that it was normal for Grandma Zhou to see it, after all, she was an old hand who had lived for so many years.
So he poured out all the doubts in his heart without hiding anything.
After hearing this, Grandma Zhou thought about it again and again but still did not bring up the matter of Li Mu's parents. After all, it was Li Mu's own family matter, and it was not right for her to intervene. She could only comfort him:
"Xiao Wan, don't let your imagination run wild. Xiao Mu is not that kind of person. If he can't control himself, grandma can only advise you to get a divorce."
"But you have to believe in Xiaomu. Xiaomu will definitely explain your current doubts to you in the future. Maybe Xiaomu himself is also feeling depressed."
After hearing what Grandma Zhou said, Lin Wan felt a lot more at ease, but she also realized that Li Mu might have really encountered something, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and acted coquettishly with Grandma Zhou for a long time before the old lady stopped persuading her.
