In the government compound, Yao Huixian's already bad reputation was further tarnished.
People started pointing and whispering when they saw her, and it's easy to imagine that they were talking behind her back.
Yao Huixian was furious that Lin Xiaoxiao had tricked her again.
In fact, what angered her even more was yet to come.
"Old Qin, it's time to go." It was 4:30 in the afternoon when Yao Huixian went upstairs and knocked on the door to remind Qin Jinye.
Not long after, Qin Jinye came out, dressed in new clothes.
His complexion was still not good; he had a sullen face and seemed to still be angry with Yao Huixian.
Seeing this, Yao Huixian couldn't help but remind her, "Don't look so glum when you go to my parents' place."
Qin Jinye stared at her for a few moments, then said calmly, "You don't give me face, yet you expect me to give you face?"
After saying that, he strode downstairs and got into his car.
Qin Huaijun was driving; Qin Jinye's secretary had already gone on vacation.
On the way back to her parents' home, Yao Huixian kept trying to persuade him, but Qin Jinye was serious this time and completely ignored her.
Yao Huixian was also a little angry.
It's just that her eldest son came back and she didn't cook, why is she making such a fuss?
When did Lao Qin become so petty?
Qin Huaijun also advised, "Dad, don't be angry with Mom. My eldest brother and sister-in-law knew that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year and they were going back to their parents' home, but they still insisted on coming back at this time. It's normal for Mom to be angry."
Qin Jinye closed his eyes to rest and didn't respond to him.
"Oh dear!" Yao Huixian exclaimed suddenly, as if she had just thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Qin Huaijun asked.
Yao Huixian slapped her thigh, "I forgot the ginseng I was going to give to your grandfather on the table."
I reminded myself not to forget it when I took it out, but I still forgot it.
They had already walked quite a distance, and turning back would probably make them late, so Yao Huixian thought she could only take it back to her father next time.
Upon hearing that it was ginseng, Qin Huaijun casually asked, "Decades old? It must have cost a lot of money."
Yao Huixian said proudly, "I asked a professional, and it's been almost a hundred years. It cost me over a thousand."
Qin Huaijun could only say that his mother was really willing to spend money on her family.
The Yao family's house was in the carpet factory's residential area. Yao's father was the factory manager, so the house he was allocated was naturally quite nice. It was a two-story building that looked ordinary on the outside, but it occupied a large area. It was far away from the tenement buildings, so there were few people and it was quiet.
Entering from the factory gate, you have to pass through a densely populated area of single-story dormitory buildings, where the families of factory employees live.
"What a fancy car! Whose is it?" The question came from the newlywed wife who had only recently married into the family.
Someone explained to her, "You don't even need to look to know he's the factory director's son-in-law, the mayor's son-in-law."
"The mayor?" The new bride's eyes widened. "My goodness, our factory director actually has such a powerful backer?"
No wonder he's still sitting in the factory director's position at such an advanced age.
It turns out someone was backing them up.
Some people said enviously, "I also grew up with the mayor's wife, but I'm not as lucky as her."
"Who can argue with that..."
Yao Huixian opened the car window halfway and felt very satisfied and proud as she looked at all the eyes on her.
Hmph, when she married Qin Jinye, many people mocked her for marrying a divorced man and then eagerly becoming a stepmother.
Who would laugh at her now?
The car drove straight towards the Yao family's house without stopping. As it approached, Yao Huixian saw her nephew waiting at the door.
He said happily, "Xiao Lei is such a filial son."
As she spoke, she nudged Qin Jinye, gesturing for him to look, "I told you Xiaolei was a good kid. He knew we were coming and was waiting at the door beforehand."
He's much better than your eldest son.
She didn't say the last sentence aloud, but just muttered it to herself.
"Uncle, Happy New Year." As soon as the car came to a stop, Yao Lei couldn't wait to walk to the passenger side and greet Qin Jinye with a smile.
"Hmm." Qin Jinye's gaze swept across his face.
Their attitude wasn't enthusiastic.
There was also some indifference.
Yao Lei's smile froze on his face. To ease the awkwardness, he wished Yao Huixian and Qin Huaijun a Happy New Year in turn.
After that, I helped Yao Huixian carry her things.
Yao Huixian praised him as a good boy, then walked over to Qin Jinye and whispered, "Xiao Lei greeted you, why did you give him a hard time?"
Qin Jinye raised an eyebrow. "At least I didn't let him die."
After saying that, he strode inside.
Yao Huixian almost gritted her teeth. Qin Yushen was a little bastard, how could he compare to her nephew?
Qin Jinye really did a good job turning against her for the sake of his eldest son.
Yao Huixian wanted to get angry, but she had to consider that she was at her parents' home, so she could only suppress her anger and planned to have a good talk with Qin Jinye when she got back.
He took a deep breath and followed after them.
Upon entering the living room, Mr. Yao, Mrs. Yao, and Yao Huixian's older brother were all sitting on the sofa, with a black and white television playing a program in front of them, and the family was laughing heartily.
Yao Huixian's sister-in-law was cooking in the kitchen, and the sounds of cooking could be heard.
"Jinye's here? Please have a seat." When Yao's mother saw Qin Jinye, her face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Mom," Qin Jinye called out to Yao's mother first, then looked at Yao's father and said, "Dad."
With a composed demeanor, Yao's father remained seated on the sofa without moving an inch. Upon seeing Qin Jinye, he merely nodded and gestured to the side, saying, "Sit down."
Just as Qin Jinye was about to sit down, he saw Yao Huixian, who was standing not far away, and asked in surprise, "Brother, you're home?"
Brother Yao chuckled twice, "Yes."
