Chapter 24: Thank you for the performance of my ex-husband
When Chu Yao was eleven years old, her mother took her to Yuncheng to celebrate the New Year.
My mother's parents-in-law were also there during the meal.
The Cheng family uses a complete set of tableware, with different pig patterns painted on the top of the chopsticks.
The bowls they used were all shaped like pigs.
The bowl says: Grandpa Pig, Granny Pig, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, Baby Pig.
Grandma Cheng only took out a plastic disposable bowl and a pair of pale disposable chopsticks for Chu Yao.
I said to her, "We don't have any extra cutlery at home, so you can eat with this."
Chu Yao was afraid of causing trouble for her mother, so she felt uncomfortable but didn't dare to speak.
Because she knew that her mother was not living well and had no status at all.
The whole Cheng family was watching TV in the living room, and only the mother was busy in the kitchen.
When eating, they picked up their chopsticks without waiting for her.
At the dinner table, her mother picked up a large shrimp for her. Grandma Cheng curled her lips and said, "You've never tasted shrimp this good, have you? I'm glad I got it for you."
Her mother didn't dare to pick it up for her.
When Chu Yao eats alone, she only dares to eat food that is close to her.
The most recent dish was a bowl of hot sweet soup.
She poured herself a bowl of hot soup.
The plastic bowl suddenly shrank due to the heat.
At that time, Chu Yao's heart also shrank like the bowl.
She finished the meal with difficulty and left quickly in the afternoon.
On the way, she thought, Mom has a new life too, so she should stop seeing her from now on. At worst, her life with Grandma will be a little harder for now, and when she grows up and can make money, everything will be fine...
But my mother chased after me.
Her mother sent her to the station and asked a neighbor who was also returning to Fengpu to take care of her on the way.
Before leaving, her mother stuffed two thousand yuan into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket - that pocket was also sewn by her mother and hidden inside the clothes to prevent thieves from stealing the money.
Her mother was still holding her and crying, with big drops of tears falling on her neck.
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, but I'm just a housewife and I don't make any money."
"The money I gave you and grandma was all stolen from the household income."
"Last time they found out, they scolded me to my face. They said I was using my current husband's money to support my ex-husband's daughter, saying I was a traitor..."
"Yaoyao, Mommy is so useless...I'm sorry."
…
It's been sixteen years.
Chu Yao still remembers clearly everything Song Huiping said at the station that year.
She also remembered Song Huiping's tears, so hot.
Doesn’t her mother love her?
If he didn't love her, why did he sew small pockets on her cotton-padded jacket? Why did he send her to the station and give her two thousand yuan? Why did her tears burn so much?

When Qin Jiahuai stuffed Chu Yao into the car, she was still muttering: "Don't worry about me, Qin Jiahuai, can you be a little more cruel to me... I don't want to owe you my whole life..."
Qin Jiahuai silently fastened her seat belt and drove her home.
He learned about the injustice Chu Yao suffered when she was eleven years old on her wedding day.
Chu Yao's dowry was prepared by Song Huiping, which included a set of festive tableware.
Chu Yao cried when she saw the tableware that day.
She told him about it.
She said that when she was eleven years old, she also wanted a baby pig bowl.
She said that Song Huiping must also remember this incident, so she was making it up to her.
Qin Jiahuai has always known that Chu Yao is a soft-hearted person.
She may seem harsh, but when she hurts someone, she feels guilty more than anyone else. She may seem independent, but tears well up when someone shows her concern. She wants to repay every bit of kindness others show her.
Soft-hearted and stupid.
Not to mention that this mother kept telling Chu Yao to remember her kindness every day.
She knew her mother was partial, but she also knew her mother loved her.
That's why their mother-daughter relationship is so twisted.
Love is not complete, hatred is not exhaustive.
-
Chu Yao fell asleep halfway.
Qin Jiahuai carried her out of the car and took her home.
The home password has not been changed yet.
He took the man inside and laid him on the bed.
I went to cook a pot of porridge for her and set the time.
When he turned around, he saw Chu Yao woke up and stood in the middle of the hall looking at him.
Qin Jiahuai said calmly, "The medicine is on the table, there's porridge in the pot, I'm leaving."
He walked towards the door.
Just as he was about to unlock the door.
Chu Yao suddenly spoke and gently called his name: "Qin Jiahuai."
Qin Jiahuai turned around and was slightly stunned.
Chu Yao stood there barefoot, alone, with her long hair scattered behind her, and her thin figure looked indescribably lonely.
Her eyes were red, and she murmured, as if begging: "Come here, come here, hug me, okay? I'm all alone."
Qin Jiahuai was silent for a few seconds, then walked over and leaned over to hug her.
He hugged her so tightly that she couldn't breathe.
Chu Yao really liked him holding her like this, which made her feel loved.
She buried her face deep in his heart and held him tightly with her arms.
Time stood still for a long time, as if nothing mattered anymore.
After a long time, he loosened his grip slightly.
Chu Yao was in his arms, looking at him with her head held high, her eyes clear.
"Qin Jiahuai." She called his name again.
Qin Jiahuai's throat moved: "Hmm?"
She raised her hand and gently tapped his Adam's apple: "Here, it's moving."
Qin Jiahuai's eyes were thick with emotion, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms again, lowered his head and kissed her with great force, and his cold and self-possessed demeanor completely collapsed.
She drank citrus-flavored wine tonight, and her whole body smelled of oranges.
In the confusion, Chu Yao vaguely felt him kissing the tip of her ear.
He whispered, "Ayao, just go for it."
-
Chu Yao only regained some sense when Qin Jiahuai carried her to take a bath.
Now she was sent back to bed by Qin Jiahuai, and the sound of water could be heard again in the bathroom.
Chu Yao sat up with her aching and swollen head.
Oh shit...Qin Jiahuai, you bastard, you scumbag!
I'm drunk, are you drunk too?
Even though I took the initiative... couldn't you just push me away and get out!
Can't you, a man who is 188cm tall, break free from the shackles of me, a woman who is 165cm tall?
The remaining alcohol in her head made her turn over and get out of bed.
Drag him out of the bathroom right now and kick him out! Don't even give him any clothes!
She walked towards the bathroom with unsteady steps, and suddenly there was a soft "pop" sound, as if she had knocked something down.
I looked down and saw that a folder had fallen to the ground.
Chu Yao subconsciously bent down to pick it up.
Chu Yao's heart skipped a beat when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the contents on the document, and then started beating wildly again.
I sobered up instantly!
Qin Jiahuai is actually also involved in live streaming gambling!
Moreover, his information was more in-depth and specific, and he had even gotten in touch with the person behind the scenes!
Chu Yao quickly flipped through her phone and took photos of every document.
When she finished filming, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
She quickly put her things in place and quickly got under the quilt.
Because she had done something wrong, she didn't have the nerve to bother him.
Soon, she heard Qin Jiahuai walk out of the bathroom, pick up the documents, turn around and leave, and gently close the door.
He seemed to notice nothing.
After a while, Chu Yao poked her head out and looked around secretly, confirming that Qin Jiahuai was gone.
She quickly reached for her cell phone, took out the files she had just taken, and looked at them carefully one by one.
There are many companies in Fengpu City that are engaged in the shady business of gambling.
But what Chu Yao didn't expect was that there was actually one boss behind these gambling companies!
And she knew this boss!
