Jiang Qingyue tapped her forehead shyly, "Let's not laugh at each other, okay?"
Hu Changying looked at Jiang Qingyue's old clothes and said with a smile, "Why don't you wear the new dress that Lao Zhou bought for you? I heard from my family that Lao Zhou spent a lot of money to buy it for you at a high-end mall."
When talking about this, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That dress is too bright, I can't wear it to work, and it hasn't been washed yet, what can I wear."
Seeing her like this, Hu Changying said, "Just be content. You don't know the useless food that Lao Xie bought for me. I really don't know how to praise him."
After saying that, he thought of something and asked Jiang Qingyue curiously, "Take out your necklace and let me see it."
Jiang Qingyue was shocked. "You have X-ray vision, how do you know I'm wearing a necklace?"
"Well, it's all because of what our big mouth Old Xie said. He said that Old Zhou spent all his private money to buy it for you this time. It cost more than a thousand yuan. Wow, he was really willing to spend so much. It would hurt me to death."
Jiang Qingyue exclaimed, "What did you say? More than a thousand?"
"You don't know?"
Jiang Qingyue was stunned. "He didn't tell me. I thought it was several hundred yuan. I didn't expect it to be so expensive."
After saying this, Jiang Qingyue also felt a pain in her flesh.
It’s more than a thousand yuan. When the timing was good in the past few years, you could buy a courtyard house in Beijing at a bargain price.
When she thought of this, Jiang Qingyue felt a heaviness on her neck.
But now that I've bought it, what else can I say?
Wear it!
Hu Changying enviously said, "I don't have this yet. I'm so jealous."
Jiang Qingyue glanced at her wrist on the steering wheel.
He smiled and said, "You have a nice watch. Isn't it the new one that Old Xie bought?"
After saying that, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they headed to the office.
After parking the car in the yard, Hu Changying finally remembered something, "Qingyue, did you say Li Ailing divorced her husband? I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, and I always feel like this isn't going to go so smoothly."
Jiang Qingyue actually had the same feeling, but the first two times she called, Li Ailing was always very polite and said that they were negotiating.
After all, they were just chance acquaintances, and perhaps she just didn't want to make others feel embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue suggested, "Wait until the weekend in a couple of days when I'm at home, I'll find a chance to call her and ask her in detail."
Hu Changying nodded. "That's fine. They should be at home on weekends, but—"
As she was talking, Hu Changying suddenly remembered, "I won't be in the compound on weekends. I want to go back to my mother's house with Lao Xie for a day. My mother has called several times to urge us to go."
"I haven't been back for a while, and this time Lao Xie brought them gifts when he came back from Guangzhou. Let's go see them together."
Jiang Qingyue nodded, "It's okay, go do your thing."
"I'll come and call you on the weekend and tell you if there's anything going on. You two can go back and spend some time with your family."
After that, the two went to their respective offices and started working.
It was the weekend, early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light.
The family of four hadn't gotten up yet when the phone in the living room rang.
Zhou Zhengting muttered, "Who could be calling so early?"
Jiang Qingyue was also very sleepy, but suddenly she remembered something and quickly got up and ran to the living room.
He quickly picked up the phone and said hello.
Then a hoarse voice was heard from the other side, "Hello, is this Comrade Jiang? I am Momo's mother, Li Ailing."
Jiang Qingyue saw that it was her who called, just as she had expected.
Then I heard her hoarse voice, and I felt something was not good.
Just as I was about to ask, I heard someone on the other end say, "Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry to call you so early. Are you guys up? Did I disturb you?"
Jiang Qingyue quickly said, "No, no, Sister Ailing, you called so early, is there something urgent?"
"A few days ago, Yingzi and I were still talking about waiting to call you today, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Li Ailing was silent for a moment, seeming a little embarrassed.
Then he spoke again, "Comrade Jiang, can I let Momo stay with you for a few more days?"
Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, still not figuring out what was going on.
Li Ailing was heard saying again, "Originally, we shouldn't bother you with our family's affairs anymore. You've already saved us once, but now I really have nowhere else to turn—"
"I married here from far away. I have no relatives or friends in this South Island. When something really happened to me, I realized that I couldn't even find anyone I could trust or a safe place."
"I thought about it for a long time, and the only thing I could think of is you guys."
After Jiang Qingyue heard what she said, she hurriedly asked, "Sister Ai Ling, what's going on? Where are you now?"
Li Ailing paused and responded, "It's near your compound, in the telephone booth next to the bus station."
Jiang Qingyue was startled, as she originally thought that the two were in her home.
I didn't expect to be here so early in the morning, so I hurriedly said, "Wait for us there first, we will go find you now, and we will talk when we meet."
By the time Jiang Qingyue hung up the phone, Zhou Zhengting had already gotten up and packed up.
I have just heard the general content of what Jiang Qingyue said on the phone.
Then he said, "Please pack up and I will drive you there."
Jiang Qingyue nodded, and rushed in to change clothes. At the same time, she asked Zhou Zhengting to tell the two children so that they would not be unable to find anyone when they woke up.
It only took a few minutes for the two men to drive away.
After leaving the compound, the two went straight to the bus stop.
Because this is the bus terminal, there is a public telephone.
In fact, this place is very desolate and simple, and there is no place to stay around.
There was only an old thatched shed that could provide shelter from wind and rain for people passing by.
Jiang Qingyue found the mother and daughter in this shed.
When she found them, Jiang Qingyue was so shocked that she was speechless.
Li Ailing's face was covered with dark blue scars, and her arms and legs were also covered with bruises that could not be covered.
He looked even more embarrassed than the last time we met.
The mother and daughter were sitting in a straw hut. There were several bundles at their feet, and everything was packed in a mess. It was obvious that they had run out in a hurry.
Momo seemed very scared. She held on to her mother's clothes tightly and fell asleep in her arms.
Jiang Qingyue didn't know how to ask, so she quickly helped to pick up Momo.
Let the two people get in the car and go back first.
Zhou Zhengting also helped to move the luggage into the car.
The group returned to the compound in silence.
