Jiang Huaizhou's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quietly reached out his sleeve to wipe it away and gradually slowed his pace.
When he got to Jiang Guomin's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Dad, Director Hao is here. He would never come here unless there's something important to do!"
I'm scared. Do the people in the courtyard over there know?
Jiang Guomin glanced at his eldest son secretly, and at the same time, a question arose in his mind.
However, he didn't show it. He picked up the teacup beside him, looked at the tea leaves floating on top, and saw that the teacup was no longer warm. Jiang Guomin also lost his interest in drinking tea.
Jiang Huaizhou, who was standing nearby, had been watching his father's expression closely. Noticing his displeasure, he quickly grabbed the teapot and refilled Jiang Guomin's cup of tea.
The entire study was completely silent; you could even hear Jiang Huaizhou breathing heavily!
After a long pause, Jiang Guomin finally said, "If I remember correctly, Director Hao's sister-in-law's family lives in the compound, right?"
Jiang Huaizhou thought about it carefully and nodded slightly: "Indeed!"
"Perhaps Director Hao came to see them. By the way, there are a few people in the courtyard who like to drink. I just happened to get a jar of good wine!"
"Call them all over to try it! And let's have Director Hao come along with his sister-in-law and her family too!"
Jiang Huaizhou swallowed hard. His father had given him a thick stack of notebooks containing the family relationships in the courtyard, and made him memorize all of them!
Jiang Huaizhou only carried important people on his back, such as Director Hao's sister-in-law's family, which was Xiao Kala Mi!
At least in front of the Jiang family, Jiang Huaizhou never cared about any of this!
I never expected my father to remember all of this so clearly!
Jiang Huaizhou didn't dare to breathe loudly, and quickly retreated with his head down.
Director Hao, who was standing to the side, knew that this was not a good time to appear when he saw that Jiang Huaizhou hadn't called him immediately!
But he had already stepped into the courtyard, and now if he left, it would seem particularly abrupt!
His eyes darted around, and he quickly walked to the back row!
The first few rows are mostly small villas, while the high-rise residential compounds are in the back. Although this area is collectively called a compound, the high-rise residential compounds and the small villas in front are separated by a wall!
To silence the gossip, a door was opened in this wall.
What is the meaning behind this door? Everyone knows perfectly well!
No one was foolish enough to cross that door!
Director Hao felt like he had come back to life after walking through this gate and arriving at this family compound!
It looks lively over there, but in reality, everyone is putting on airs, their smiles hiding daggers, and every word they say carries a hundred meanings!
Director Hao dared not linger! At that moment, several elderly women who were chatting under the big tree in the family compound saw Director Hao coming through the archway and put down their sunflower seeds!
They whispered among themselves: "Normally, the people in front of us hold their heads high, how could they possibly cross this temple?"
Even though the door is wide open, we usually don't dare to go through it!
Who exactly is this person?
A woman held an embroidery needle in one hand and a shoe sole in the other. She poked her head with the needle and glanced at Director Hao: "She looks somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?!"
But I can assure you, they are definitely not from the compound in front!
This woman works in the community street office and knows exactly how many people live in each household!
When everyone realized that Director Hao wasn't from the compound in front, they all lost interest!
Director Hao rushed to his sister-in-law's house without stopping!
Director Hao's sister-in-law, Qiu Ying, was frying meatballs at home when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She thought it was her husband who had taken the children out without their keys!
He quickly wiped his hands and opened the door!
When Qiu Ying looked up and saw Director Hao's fat face, she was startled!
She pulled Director Hao into the house and said urgently, "What are you doing here during the New Year?"
Aren't you afraid of being seen?
Director Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly: "It's only during the New Year that it won't attract attention, okay?"
I'll stay at your place for a while!
He didn't know when Jiang Huaizhou would call him, so Director Hao needed to find a place to stay!
Qiu Ying was so angry she almost fell over. She was so anxious she lost her mind and reached out to hit Director Hao: "My husband will be back soon. What will he think if he sees this?"
Her blow landed squarely on Director Hao's face, leaving a bright red mark!
Director Hao was already furious, and he looked at Qiu Ying with a cold face: "Did I give you face?"
His icy gaze made Qiu Ying's legs tremble. Her reason returned, and she quickly softened her voice: "I'm just afraid my husband will find out about us!"
Now that things have finally settled down, I don't want to cause any more trouble!
My husband is about to get a promotion, and my sister is very strict. My son and I both need to eat and drink, so you wouldn't want your son to suffer, would you?
Upon hearing about his son, Director Hao's anger vanished!
He glanced at the closed door, then reached out and pulled Qiu Ying to sit on the sofa: "I'm also feeling a bit restless. I came here on business. Make a couple more dishes, and Dabing and I will have a good drink together later!"
Qiu Ying's heart was pounding. Looking into Director Hao's dark eyes, she knew that he had come to her place to avoid people!
Qiu Ying didn't say anything more, stood up, put her apron back on, and went to fry the meatballs!
However, his attitude is completely different from before. He was happy before, but now he is absent-minded!
Director Hao was sitting in the living room smoking, completely treating this as his own home!
Watching his retreating figure, Qiu Ying couldn't help but think of the past!
There are four sisters in their family. The eldest sister has always been a good student and is also very beautiful!
Qiu Ying is a little short, but she is eloquent and knows how to make people happy!
Nobody knew that Qiu Ying and Director Hao had a conversation!
The two tasted the forbidden fruit, but Director Hao's mother looked down on Qiu Ying. She wanted her to study, but she didn't have any studies; she wanted her looks, but she didn't have any looks, and she didn't have a job!
More than ten years ago, Qiu Ying was unemployed but had to go to the countryside. The Qiu family had a large population, so there was a high chance that Qiu Ying would have to go to the countryside!
Director Hao's mother has taken a liking to Qiu Ying's eldest sister, Qiu Li!
While Qiu Ying was busy with her rural assignments, they quickly arranged the marriage between Director Hao and Qiu Li!
Director Hao was initially unwilling, but after seeing Qiu Li for the first time, he was completely captivated!
He abandoned his wife and children!
Qiu Ying is also someone who can take things in stride. She knows that Director Hao's mother is not a kind person, and she can also see that Director Hao has changed his mind!
He immediately decided to stop arguing and took the opportunity to extort 100 yuan from Hao's mother!
However, before she could even go to the countryside, she discovered she was pregnant. She only had Director Hao as her husband, but now Director Hao had married her sister!
If she tells anyone about this, her parents will probably beat her to death!
So Qiu Ying quickly hooked up with a young man working for a government agency, and after getting married, she naturally didn't have to go to the countryside anymore...
