Chapter 42 “She” is older than you

Boss Wen was not a filial person to begin with. He had always obeyed Old Lady Wen in everything just to gain some benefits from Liu Yu's father through her.

For this reason, no matter how harshly Mrs. Wen cursed, Mr. Wen and his family endured it.

Of course, after all, Wen Lao Da was Mrs. Wen’s biological son, so she couldn’t bear to scold him, so the only person she often scolded was Wen Lao Da’s wife.

But things are different now. It seems that Old Lady Wen can't get any benefits and has become a burden. She is even secretly favoring her youngest son Liu Junxian.

In the past, Mrs. Wen had a lot of good things in her hands, so Mr. Wen just turned a blind eye to it. But now that the situation has become so difficult, Mrs. Wen is still like this.

Wen Lao Da quit on it immediately, and Wen Lao Da's wife had long been resentful of her mother-in-law, who always treated her like a servant and ordered her around every time she was at home.

In the past, people at home pointed at Old Madam Wen, and she couldn't say anything. But now the situation is different, and she can't bear it anymore. When Old Madam Wen was scolding people, she tried to say a few words back at first, but then she found that Old Madam Wen didn't care at all, so she let go and put her hands on her hips and started scolding Old Madam Wen.

Old Mrs. Wen was used to being flattered at home. When she saw that her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been submissive, dared to talk back, she was so angry that she trembled all over. She scolded Mr. Wen for being heartless and his wife at the same time.

Liu Junxian has been in a bad mood these days. In fact, he is not happy at all to have Old Lady Wen as his mother. His previous parents were so nice. Although the money they gave him was not much, they were not as stingy as Old Lady Wen.

In fact, Mrs. Wen had no intention of giving him the gold bracelet. Liu Junxian coaxed her into giving him the bracelet, saying that he would exchange it for money to buy Mrs. Wen some delicious food.

Now the family has lost a large sum of money, and Wen Lao Da's wife is resentful. Every day she just muddles along and eats bland food. When Mrs. Wen wants to eat meat, she scolds her. Every time, Wen Lao Da's wife says, "I have no money. You want to eat meat? Give me money!"

Old lady Wen was so angry that she thought she had never lived like this in all these years. After hearing what Liu Junxian said, she believed him.

But Mrs. Wen was not stupid. She was very smart. She knew how much the gold bracelet could be sold for. Not to mention the meat, she could even buy a cow with it.

Therefore, when giving the gold bracelet, he specifically instructed Liu Junxian to return the money after buying the meat.

Liu Junxian agreed on the surface, but it was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.

Who knew that the two of them were unlucky and were caught by Boss Wen's grandson, who then told everyone the story.

When the eldest brother Wen's family heard this, they were shocked. Our lives are already in such a state, and you are still hiding the gold bracelet and giving it to the second brother's family?

So there was a commotion.

Wen Lao Da's family still wanted the gold bracelet. The old lady's bracelet was very thick and could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars!

But this was the last of Mrs. Wen's savings, so why would she be willing to give it to him? So no matter what, she was unwilling to give it.

In the end, I don't know how I ended up swearing.

Qi Nian and the others came over and stood behind the crowd, and saw this scene.

The eldest daughter-in-law of Wen pushed Mrs. Wen out of the room with a cloth bag in her hand. Mrs. Wen yelled and swore at them, and then Liu Junxian's family was also driven out.

The Wen family ignored the crying old lady Wen and the swearing Liu Junxian family and simply closed the door.

This is obviously an attempt to drive Mrs. Wen and Liu Junxian's family out of the house.

Old lady Wen was sitting on the ground trembling. She had long lost her former arrogance and actually looked a bit miserable.

When I turned around, Liu Junxian had already taken the bracelet and ran away with his family.

Only old lady Wen was left sitting on the ground with messy hair.

A neighbor who couldn't bear it helped call the police, but as for what happened next, Qi Nian and the others had no idea.

They may love to eat melons, but they really have no interest in watching an 80-year-old lady being kicked out of the house.

This is really not a good thing.

——

When Qi Nian came out of the school and saw the familiar car at the door, he thought he was seeing things.

He walked over tentatively to check the license plate, but just as he walked over, the car window slowly lowered.

After seeing who was sitting inside, Qi Nian opened the car door in surprise and got in: "Brother, when did you come back? I thought I was seeing things!"

Chu Rongshi has been busy on business trips recently and the two haven't seen each other for several days.

Chu Rongshi's eyebrows were a little tired. It was inevitable that he would be a little tired after a long journey. At this time, his brows relaxed: "Just got back."

"Why don't you take a rest? Why do you come to pick me up?" Qi Nian looked at his brother with some concern.

Chu Rongshi smiled and said, "Go back and have a rest."

Although Chu Rongshi had just returned from a business trip and came to the school to pick up Qi Nian instead of resting, which made Qi Nian feel a little strange, but Qi Nian did not think much about it and soon immersed himself in the surprise of his brother returning from a business trip.

As soon as they entered the house, Ning Min saw Chu Rongshi next to Qi Nian, and couldn't stop the surprise in her eyes: "When did Rongshi come back? Why did he come back with Nian Nian? Did you meet at the door?"

"Ah? My brother just picked me up." Qi Nian was also stunned: "My brother didn't go home just now? I thought he was going to school from home."

Ning Min shook her head, feeling a little sorry for her son's health: "He didn't come back! I thought he would come back tomorrow. Really, even if we have a good relationship, we can't just drive back without taking a rest."

Qi Nian nodded, and looked at his brother with a hint of reproach in his deer eyes: "I think so too."

"I'm not tired." Chu Rongshi coughed lightly: "This time the matter was resolved quickly, so I came back early."

Ning Min was not a nagging person, so she stopped talking after saying this and told Chu Rongshi to go and have a rest.

In the evening, Chu Rongshi came out in his pajamas. After the family had dinner, Ning Min remembered and said, "Everything in your car has been taken down. I don't know what it is, and I didn't dare to move it."

She pointed to the boxes of various sizes placed nearby.

Chu Rongshi stood up and took the things over: "I bought them for you."

"You also brought gifts." Ning Min was not surprised. In the past, when Chu Rongshi was on business trips, if he was not very busy, he would take the time to buy gifts for his family.

But this time I brought a lot... Ning Min, Chu Zhen, and Qi Nian looked at the largest box.

When it came to distributing gifts, Qi Nian sat upright, not knowing whether to look curiously or pretend not to care. For a moment, he felt like there was a thorn on his butt.

Ning Min's gift was a pearl necklace and some skin care products that she asked Chu Rongshi to buy for her.

Chu Zhen’s is... a huanghuali walking stick.

Chu Zhen held the cane in his hand, not knowing what expression to put on for a moment. After all, it was a gift from his eldest son. He coughed lightly and said, "This wood is good, but... am I that old?"

Is it time to use a cane? Chu Zhen was a little sad.

Ning Min comforted him perfunctorily: "You don't have to be old to use it. You were so considerate when you looked at me. Don't you like to act like a gentleman recently? I think this cane is just right."

Chu Zhen: “…”

He tilted his head to look at Qinian's gift.

Chu Rongshi handed the largest box to Qi Nian, and Qi Nian's hand sank: "It's so heavy."

"Why did you buy so many things? What are they?" Ning Min leaned over to take a look curiously.

Qi Nian was also very curious and opened it quickly.

Then Ning Min's expression became very strange: "Rong Shi, which grocery store did you buy this from?"

I saw that the box was filled with some snacks or small wood carvings.

Chu Zhen looked at his walking stick and thought that this gift was actually quite good.

Chu Rongshi's expression froze for a moment, and he frowned again: "It wasn't bought from a grocery store."

These are some of the little gadgets that Chu Rongshi came across that he thought were interesting or delicious.

Qi Nian was quite happy. He took out a wooden sculpture and found it was a little lamb. "This is so cute!"

The smile on his handsome face didn't seem fake, and he was obviously very happy.

Chu Rongshi's expression relaxed.

"Eh? There's a wooden sculpture of a little wolf in here." Qi Nian dug out another small wooden sculpture as if he was looking for treasure.

Chu Rongshi: “?” When did he get in?

Qi Nian put the two wooden sculptures together and found that they were actually attracted to each other. Then he realized that there must be a magnet inside.

"Hahaha, this is quite fun." Qi Nian was particularly supportive and really found it interesting.

Elementary school students may think it is childish, but college students may think it is just right!

He thought these two small wooden sculptures could be placed on his desk as decorations.

Chu Rongshi glanced at the little wolf and the little lamb that were sticking close together, frowned for a moment, and then relaxed.

Qi Nian grunted and carried the last box of gifts back to the room. There were some local snacks in it. He and Ning Min shared them and they tasted delicious.

After studying until late at night, Qinian went to take a shower. He came back and looked at the little lamb and the little wolf placed together on the table. He decided to organize the things his brother bought for him.

He wiped his hair, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and sorted things out with a grunt. He found that there were quite a lot of things, and he didn't know where his brother got these things from.

Qi Nian was smiling throughout the whole process, and thought this was interesting, and that was interesting too. By the end, he felt like his face was almost frozen from laughing.

It feels so good to be remembered by others, hehe.

Taking out the last item, Qi Nian discovered that it was packed in a small box with exquisite packaging.

He blinked, opened the box, and held his breath for a moment. What a cool mechanical watch!

The dial is completely transparent, and you can clearly see the gears inside running. There is a sense of shock brought by the precision machinery. As the machinery vibrates, it feels like wearing the stars on your hand.

It can be said that no boy can refuse this watch.

Qi Nian dazedly took out his cell phone and gave it to his brother.

【Qinian】: Brother!!!

[Chu Rongshi]: Did you see it?

[Qinian]: Hmm!

【Chu Rongshi】：Do you like it?

[Qinian]: I like it. I like it very much!

【Joint Thoughts】: The lambs are rolling all over the ground.jpg

【Chu Rongshi】: Just like it and go to bed early.

【Qinian】: Good~

【Chu Rongshi】: Good night.

【Qinian】：Good night~

"Hehe." Qi Nian looked at the watch on his wrist, smiled foolishly for a while, and felt a little unable to sleep.

Hey, I received a gift and I couldn't help but show it off.

Xiao Shekong also wanted to show off, so he took out his cell phone and carefully selected someone to show off to.

Finally, I clicked on the small group of three people with Lu Ze and Liu Yu.

【Together】: Are you asleep? Everyone (come on stage) (adjust your tie) (hold the microphone) (prepare to speak)

【Lu Ze】：Not yet, I just finished work.

[Liu Yu]: What’s the matter? Is there something big to announce?

【Qinian】：No~

[Liu Yu]:? Why do I feel like you are acting weird today?

【Lü Ze】: Same as above.

【Concept】：［Watch picture］

[Qinian]: Ahem, my brother gave it to me.

【Lü Ze】：!!!

[Liu Yu]: Is he the brother who went to the performance with you that day?

【Lü Ze】：Isn’t this watch so cool? !

【Lü Ze】：Let me touch it.jpg

【Liu Yu】: It is quite beautiful.

However, Liu Yu still didn't quite understand the boy's hobby. Although the watch was indeed beautiful, she was more concerned about the person who gave her the watch.

She still remembers that day, ahem…

Ask first.

【Liu Yu】: So, is your brother related to you by blood? Tell me, it's very important to me!

Qi Nian was completely confused by her question, but he still told her.

【Qinian】: No.

【Qinian】：But we have a very good relationship!

Well, we need to add the last sentence.

Liu Yu sent a voice message with a particularly strange smile: "Haha, I know, I know, you are the best, you are the best in the world, hehe~"

Everyone thought: “?”

Although Liu Yu was telling the truth, why did it sound weird?

Qi Nian was a little confused, so he just started talking to Lu Ze about watches. Boys always have endless topics to talk about in this regard.

[Liu Yu]: I seem to have seen this watch somewhere.

Liu Yu said this and went back into the water.

Maybe I saw it in an advertisement? Qi Nian raised his wrist and looked at his watch, but didn't take it seriously.

——

"This is Zhong Qin. Zhong Qin, this is Qi Nian." Lu Ze introduced Qi Nian: "He will form a team with us in this science and technology competition."

Zhong Qin wore a pair of frameless glasses, had a gentle appearance, and had a very cultured scholarly face.

Looks like he loves to learn.

"I've heard of you for a long time." Zhong Tan greeted Qi Nian with a smile: "I've always heard Lu Ze mention you before, and today I finally met you."

Qi Nian greeted them with a smile. Since they already knew that Qi Nian was quite socially anxious, no one said much.

I spent almost the entire morning selecting materials and writing programs. I felt a little dizzy and even ate half a bowl of rice extra at lunch.

Zhong Qin looks like a person who loves to learn, and in fact he is.

However, during his rest time, he showed characteristics that were not consistent with his appearance.

At this time, Qi Nian was eating rice, Lu Ze took some time out to have a remote meeting with a few classmates who played games together, and Zhong Qin was holding his mobile phone, smiling silly.

Qi Nian swore that he did not mean to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but everyone was sitting together, and although Zhong Qin's voice was not loud, it was inevitable that he could hear it.

Zhong Tan at this time:

"Baby, what did you have for lunch?"

"Me, I just ate there with two friends."

"Baby is awesome, thank you for your hard work."

Everyone thought: "..."

Try to reduce your presence.jpg

Lu Ze and Zhong Qin knew each other earlier and had known each other for a long time. "You'll just get used to it. Apart from being a bit of a love-savvy guy, he's pretty reliable when it comes to doing things."

This is true, but after seeing the other person's elite look in the morning, Qi Nian was a little silent for a moment when he saw his other side so soon.

After a while, Qi Nian and his friends began to see results from their work, and they also got to know Zhong Qin's girlfriend a little better.

The other person's name is Xia Xiaotian. According to Zhong Qin, the two met in the game.

Zhong Qin is very good at playing games, while Xia Xiaotian is not so good at it. However, Xia Xiaotian is very sweet-talking and always calls Zhong Qin "brother", and eventually Zhong Qin fell for him.

Zhong Qin was determined to defend his girlfriend Xia Xiaotian, who was not good at playing games. At this time, he said seriously, "Don't you think Xiaotian is cute because she is stupid?"

"That's not what you said before." Lu Ze chuckled, "Who said that noobs are the most annoying?"

"Ah? Did I say that?" Zhong Tan suddenly realized something and quickly found an excuse for himself: "Hey, maybe this is love? Love makes people double-standard!"

He said it quite proudly.

Qi Nian has gone from being shocked in the past to being accustomed to it now.

He was a little curious: "Are you in an online relationship?"

Zhong Tan nodded.

Qi Nian: "Haven't you seen it yet?"

Zhong Qin chuckled: "Yeah, it's so mysterious."

Everyone thought: "..."

Lu Ze smiled: "Aren't you from the school next door? Why don't we meet even though we're so close?"

Zhong Qin said: "You bunch of singles don't understand, this kind of illusory love is even more fascinating~"

"But we've known each other for quite some time, maybe we can meet in person?" Although Zhong Qin said that, he was still looking forward to meeting in person.

Not long after, Qi Nian heard that Zhong Qin had appeared.

It wasn't that he specifically asked about it, it was really...

At this moment, Zhong Qin suddenly said with emotion: "Our Xiao Tian is simply a fairy, she is so beautiful!"

After saying that, she happily showed the photo to Qi Nian and Lu Ze. The photo was taken by Zhong Qin. It was a photo with each other. Xia Xiaotian had long, slightly curly hair and delicate makeup. She was indeed very beautiful.

"She's taller than you, you can see." Lu Ze guessed based on the photo.

"She is indeed a little taller than me." Zhong Qin himself is almost 1.80 meters tall. If his girlfriend is taller than him, she should be more than 1.80 meters tall.

Qi Nian suddenly asked: "Um... do you like boys or girls?"

Zhong Qin was laughing at his phone, and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Look, I have a girlfriend!"

"Do you think I like men or women?" Zhong Qin asked with a tone full of confusion.

An expression that says you are talking bullshit.

Qi Nian silently lowered his head and took a big sip of the juice.

——

"Why."

When Qi Nian came back, he found Ning Min looking sad and sighing while sitting on the sofa.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Qi Nian walked over to show concern for her.

"Nothing." Ning Min shook her head: "Your uncle-in-law lost some money in business."

Qi Nian had met this aunt before. She was Ning Min's younger sister. Unlike Ning Min's gentle personality, she was fierce and aggressive, a very dashing woman.

Qi Nian was a little worried about this aunt whom he had met a few times: "How is my aunt?"

"Your aunt is fine, she's in a good mood." Ning Min said, "I plan to let her live in our house for a while, and change the environment."

In fact, Ning Min didn't say much. Her sister Ning Miao was in a good mood. After all, she had a proper job and didn't have to worry about anything. But her brother-in-law didn't seem to be in a good mental state.

Ning Miao tried to comfort the other party, but her husband did not appreciate it. It was okay once or twice, but when it happened too often, the couple quarreled every other day.

Ning Min really felt sorry for her sister, so she let her live at home for a while.

Ning Min didn't tell Qi Nian about this, fearing that he would worry about it as well.

Qi Nian didn't know the inside story, but thought it was nice to live here and relax.

The next day after class, Qi Nian met Ning Miao. The girl looked somewhat similar to Ning Min, which made people feel close to her.

"Nian Nian is back?" Ning Miao smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for a while. She looks good again."

Qi Nian felt a little embarrassed to be praised and called her "Auntie".

Ning Min covered her mouth and laughed: "This child is very shy. If I say anything more, he will hide himself."

Ning Miao: "Okay, okay, I won't say any more."

The two sisters seemed to be in a good mood. They said they were going out for beauty treatments and left after a while.

Qi Nian patted his thin face and breathed a sigh of relief.

——

"My roommate is so unlucky!" While eating breakfast, Zhong Qin shared his roommate's experience in an indignant manner.

"What's wrong with him?" Qi Nian asked.

"Hey, he's also in an online relationship." Zhong Qin said with a sigh, "But his luck is much worse than mine. We've been in an online relationship for so long, buying snacks for each other and transferring money, but I just found out yesterday that the person he's in a relationship with isn't even a woman!"

"Ah..." Qi Nian glanced at Zhong Qin.

Zhong Qin thought he was being weird and asked why he was looking at me: "To be honest, when they were talking on the phone, the other person suddenly let down his voice and his voice became particularly hoarse. My roommate noticed something was wrong and asked what was going on."

Zhong Qin took a big sip of sleep water and his throat felt better. "At first, he refused to admit it and said that the guy was his dad. My roommate is not stupid, how could he believe such nonsense? Seeing that he didn't believe it, he just deleted my roommate."

"Then, my roommate realized that he might have been cheated. How could he tolerate this? He dragged us to the police station to report the case." Zhong Qin sighed: "I don't know if he was lucky or not, but he was really caught. When we saw his online love object, we couldn't hold back."

Zhong Tan was in a state of confusion when he said this. Perhaps he felt that it was not good to laugh at his good friend: "Who knows... haha... that guy looks to be in his thirties, and he's a big, barefoot guy!"

Lu Ze lay on the table with a smile on his face, unable to straighten his back.

Zhong Tan also had an expression that looked like he was about to laugh, but when he looked at Qi Nian, he found that the other person was not laughing.

Zhong Tan then criticized Lu Ze: "Look at how they are all united, they don't laugh at the victims at all!"

Qi Nian coughed lightly: "I can't laugh."

Zhong Tan: “?”

Qi Nian glanced at Zhong Tan: "Um... do you think this kind of behavior is forgivable?"

"Of course not!" Zhong Tan had a disgusted expression: "It's too disgusting! If it were me, I would be so angry that I would die."

Qi Nian asked again: "If something like this happened to you, would you like your friends to remind you?"

"Of course I have to remind you!" Zhong Tan said without hesitation: "If you keep it a secret from me, then what kind of friend are you!"

Qi Nian sighed: "I know."

Zhong Tan: “?”

Qi Nian lowered his head sadly: [Hey, Zhong Qin may not know that his girlfriend is actually a man. Not only is she taller than him, but her penis may be bigger than his when she takes it out!]

Lu Ze, who was drinking water, said: "Pfft..."

Zhong Tan: “???”

It’s hallucination, it must be hallucination!

It’s fake, it must be fake!
