Chapter 45
"The person I really like is Xie Jinxuan. I know what I am doing, Grandpa, I just like him, I like him so much! No one is better than him, no one is more suitable for me than him, I need him! Grandpa Xie, I really need him! I have a diary, which is full of things about him. I can't live without him. Grandpa Xie, please help me. I have everything at home. As long as I can marry Jinxuan, I am willing to send everything in my home to your home. Grandpa Xie, I beg you, help me, help me..." Wu Jinfeng knelt on the ground with a plop and began to kowtow to Grandpa Xie.
The old man was startled at first, but then he calmed down and continued to persuade softly, "Child, get up first. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"I won't get up. If you don't agree to let me be with Xie Jinxuan, I will never get up!" Wu Jinfeng cried as she spoke, looking extremely embarrassed.
Xie Chengye already knew what the old man meant. He called Xie Jinxuan aside and whispered, "I'm going to go out and call your second uncle and his family, and call a few security guards in. You stay here and be careful not to let anyone in your family get hurt."
"I know, Dad, go ahead."
Xie Chengye ran out silently. In the living room, the old man was still persuading her to calm down.
No one else dared to provoke Wu Jinfeng at this time. Xia Qingtang even hid aside, worried that she would lose control even more if she saw him.
Wu Jinfeng probably saw that the old man was always speaking softly and felt that he was a good person, so she took out a thick hardcover book from her big leather bag, spread it out and pointed it to the old man: "Grandpa Xie, look, this is all written by me for Xie Jinxuan. This whole book is about him. I really love him, and I really can't live without him."
The old man smiled and said, "Can I see this book?"
"Of course you can, Grandpa, you must take a look and see how deeply I love Xie Jinxuan." Wu Jinfeng quickly handed the notebook to Grandpa Xie. At the same time, she looked up at Xie Jinxuan, who was standing not far away with a vigilant look on her face, her eyes full of anticipation.
The old man opened the notebook and read it slowly, saying as he read: "Little comrade, you really wrote all Jinxuan's stuff."
"Yes, yes, I really love him. Every day I think about marrying him, building a warm family with him, and having three children. It would be even more perfect if they all look like him." Wu Jinfeng looked at Grandpa Xie eagerly, "Grandpa, I will be a good daughter-in-law. Jinxuan and I will be filial to our parents, and also to you and grandpa and grandma."
"So you came here this time just to make Jinxuan divorce and marry you?"
"Yes, I think Jinxuan didn't know me very well before. If we could be in the same city and spend more time together, he would definitely understand me and know that I am more suitable for him than that woman, and he would choose me."
"But, if you want Jinxuan to understand you, why don't you go to Jinxuan's workplace, but go to work at his lover's workplace instead?"
"I want to expose that woman. She is definitely not a good person. As long as I find the opportunity, I can expose her true face and you will all know how bad she is. You see, I went to their cotton mill and found out about the bad things she did. Those things are all true. Grandpa, believe me, those were told to me by her brother. I did not make up a single word."
"Yes, I believe you. It must have been told to you by her brother. It's definitely not something you made up."
Wu Jinfeng was pleasantly surprised: "If that's the case, you should quickly ask Xie Jinxuan to divorce her. She is not a good person. You should kick her out immediately."
"How many people get divorced in this world? Divorce is something that no one can accept. Besides, divorce will affect each other's work. You are just a clerk now, so it doesn't matter, but our Jinxuan will do big things in the future. If he gets divorced, won't his file be wasted? How can he get promoted in the future?"
"It doesn't matter. My father can help him get promoted. Grandpa, if you don't have the ability to help Jinxuan, just let Jinxuan come with me to my house. My father will definitely get Jinxuan promoted." Wu Jinfeng said very confidently.
Grandpa Xie nodded and said, "It seems that your father is really amazing. He can promote anyone he wants. No wonder Jinxuan's second uncle and his family are trying to curry favor with you."
"Of course, my father is amazing. In our place, everyone respects him. I come here to suffer now, isn't it for Jinxuan? But it doesn't matter. As long as Jinxuan gets divorced, she can come back to my home with me, and I won't have to suffer anymore." As she spoke, Wu Jinfeng even laughed.
Her smile looks a little crazy, but if you look closely at her gaze, you can tell that she is not talking crazy and her mind is very clear.
From her words and deeds, it can be seen that she definitely does not have any mental illness. The reason why she does so many incredible things is that she has enjoyed pampering and various privileges since she was a child. For her, everything she wants should be delivered to her hands, and everything that does not suit her wishes is wrong. Only her ideas are the universal truth.
Her occasional emotional breakdowns and suicidal behaviors were just deliberate actions she took to achieve her own goals.
Grandma, Mother Xie and Sixth Aunt were all standing not far away. The disgust on the three of them was evident on their faces, especially Grandma's expression. It was obvious that she had been patient for a long time and could explode at any time.
Grandpa Xie was actually quite uncomfortable with such a person, but he was a man who had experienced many ups and downs after all, so he was able to chat with her slowly even in such a situation, and he also flipped through the hardcover book in his hand.
As they were talking, Xie Jinyun, who was near the gate, suddenly opened the door and let in several young men, all of whom were from the security department.
Grandpa Xie caught a glimpse of them and felt relieved. He stopped smiling and spoke in a heavier tone: "Comrade Xiao Wu, I'm telling you something from the bottom of my heart. You can't do this. First of all, our Jinxuan will not get divorced, because his marriage is his choice. As parents, we will only respect him, bless him, and hope that he will live a happy life. Secondly, even if our Jinxuan gets divorced in the future, I will not agree for him to be with you. I don't know if you really have a mental problem, or if your parents spoiled you too much when you were a child. You want to have everything you want, so when you can't get our Jinxuan, you do all kinds of extreme things, trying to achieve your goals through such actions. But this is not the attitude of an adult, a normal person towards feelings. You said you like Jinxuan, but I read your notebook, and what's written on it are all your own hallucinations and fantasies. Our Jinxuan is not the person you imagined at all. You don't know him at all, you just like the Xie Jinxuan you imagined."
"What are you talking about? What conjecture? I wrote about Xie Jinxuan! Every word is about him!" Wu Jinfeng stared at Mr. Xie with eyes wide open, and a storm gradually rose in her eyes, "Why don't you believe that I love him? Why do you doubt me?"
"Because I have eyes, I can see what kind of person you are. To love someone is to fulfill him and to hope that he will have a better life, not just to possess him. What you are doing now is simply to possess him, isn't it? You say that this is love, that is an insult to love."
"Me! What should I do to make you believe me? I..." Wu Jinfeng stood up suddenly.
"Are you going to commit suicide?" Grandpa Xie interrupted her. "Threatening others with suicide, is this love? This is a crime! You take crime as your own crime, and you are ashamed to talk about it every day? I despise you! Also, you are free to do whatever you want, but please understand that your life is your own. If you want to ruin it, you are also ruining yourself. You decide whether you want to live or die, but you want to use this kind of thing to threaten our Jinxuan, I'm sorry, he is not a man who can be threatened by others. To put it bluntly, your death is insignificant in his eyes. Even if you die, he won't feel anything, because you are just strangers."
These words were spoken very seriously, but every word was true. Wu Jinfeng looked at Grandpa Xie as if she had seen a ghost.
"Why are you like this? I thought you were a good person. I thought you understood me..."
"Ah, of course I understand you. You are a spoiled child. You are already in your twenties and still living in a dream. You have never suffered in your life and don't know the difficulty of survival. That's why you talk about love every day. Even if you really get together with Jinxuan, within three months, you will feel that your dreams are shattered and that you love the wrong person. At that time, you will cry and say that you have made a mistake or blame Jinxuan for changing." Grandpa Xie said: "I am willing to talk to you calmly, because you are a relative of Jinxuan's second aunt, and I don't want to make things too ugly between relatives. But having said this, I have finished what I want to say. Now, please leave."
After saying that, Grandpa Xie immediately walked away from her and said to the security officers, "Take her out. Let everyone in the security department remember her appearance and name. From now on, don't let her enter the compound again. Also, take out the two bags next to her."
"Yes, we remember it!"
Two young men came over and grabbed Wu Jinfeng, and the older one picked up the two cloth bags beside her, and the three of them forcibly took her out.
For some reason, Wu Jinfeng did not shout at this time. She just stared at Xie Jinxuan with her eyes. Until the moment the door closed, her eyes did not leave Xie Jinxuan.
Grandma said: "The look in this person's eyes at the end was so scary. I have a bad feeling about this."
"I think so too. I think she will commit suicide tonight." Xia Qingtang said, "If we make a big fuss about this, maybe she will blame our family."
Grandpa Xie said, "So I asked Chengye to go out and make a phone call. Jinxuan's second uncle's family must immediately notify Wu Jinfeng's family and ask them to come and pick her up in person. Also, Jinxuan, you go over there and tell the security department to send this person to the police station and let her stay there overnight. This way it will be safer. Unless her parents come to pick her up, she is not allowed to go out."
Grandma said, "Is this okay? What crime are you holding her for?"
"Threatening the lives of others and yourself, isn't that enough?"
"Grandpa is right. I'll go out now." Xie Jinxuan said and walked out.
Xia Qingtang followed him: "I'll go with you."
They both put on their coats and went out together.
Inside the house, grandma whispered, "Old man, what did she write in that notebook?"
"It's all fantasy. The Jinxuan she wrote about is not Jinxuan herself. She made it all up. She imagined a person, just like writing a novel. This young person has a big problem, but her parents have an even bigger problem. They should have educated her long ago instead of waiting until now and letting this child become so extreme."
Xie's mother said: "I have seen this little Wu several times. When she was a child, she looked very normal. I saw her once two years ago and she also looked like a normal person. I didn't expect that she would become like this now, crazy and insane."
"She is not crazy. Everything she says and does has a purpose. She is a very smart and selfish person." Grandma said, "We can't just let this go. Wu Jinfeng's parents and your second brother and his wife must come and deal with it personally."
Xie's mother's expression looked very unpleasant. She whispered, "I understand. I'll go out for a while now."
After saying that, she put on her coat and went out, planning to look for Xie Chengye.
Xia Qingtang and Xie Jinxuan had already caught up with the people from the security department at this time. He grabbed the older man and whispered to him what Grandpa Xie said.
The man nodded and said, "Yes, we got it. Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
Wu Jinfeng turned her head and saw Xie Jinxuan and Xia Qingtang. She did not yell, but stared at Xie Jinxuan and kept muttering, "You will regret it. You found this woman. You will definitely regret it..."
Xia Qingtang suddenly asked: "What does he regret?"
Wu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
"Since you don't say anything, let me guess. You said he would regret it because you would definitely do something to him or his family, right? If you can't get him, you will either destroy him or his family and bring him pain, and then he will definitely regret it, right?"
Wu Jinfeng still didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered, and it was obvious that her thoughts were guessed correctly.
Xia Qingtang said: "If you do this, will it bring you any benefit? If you do it yourself, you will be shot. You are only in your early twenties and there are still many things to do. Don't you think it's a pity to die like this?"
"I won't die." Wu Jinfeng suddenly whispered.
"Did your father tell you this? Is your father's ability so great that he can let you escape the punishment of the law?" Xia Qingtang smiled, "Do you really know what position your father holds? Even in your city, he still has many superiors who are suppressing him."
"I am their only child, he will definitely protect me." Wu Jinfeng sneered, "I am different from you. Your father doesn't love you and your mother doesn't care about you. What do you know?"
"I really don't understand, but to be honest, your parents may not love you as much as you think. If you really do something extreme, I think your parents will choose to sacrifice you to protect themselves."
"Impossible!" Wu Jinfeng said firmly: "My parents will do anything for me."
"Then let's make a bet. Your parents will take the train here tomorrow to pick you up. Then you can ask them in person if they will do anything to protect you if you really break the law. You are so confident that you will definitely win, so what are you afraid of?"
"Of course I will win, so what are we betting on? If my parents are really willing to give up everything to keep me, you will divorce Xie Jinxuan." Wu Jinfeng's voice suddenly became louder.
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Of course, but if you lose, you must give up Xie Jinxuan forever and not get within five meters of him. If you run into him on the street, you must turn around and walk away."
"Okay, I'll make this bet with you." Wu Jinfeng said proudly, "I'm sure to win."
Xia Qingtang smiled and stopped talking.
She and Xie Jinxuan accompanied the security personnel to send Wu Jinfeng to the nearest police station. After telling Grandpa Xie's request, a female police officer immediately came and took Wu Jinfeng away.
Because she was not a prisoner, she was simply locked up in an empty office with nothing in it, to ensure that she would not hurt herself.
There are also police officers taking turns to guard her to prevent her from banging her head against the wall late at night.
After settling the person in the police station, Xie Jinxuan and Xia Qingtang walked back together.
On the way, Xie Jinxuan was silent for a while. Xia Qingtang saw that he was in a bad mood, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
"I'm sorry to cause trouble to everyone." Xie Jinxuan said in a deep voice.
Xia Qingtang reached out and pinched his cheek, then said with a smile, "How come you've caused trouble for everyone? This isn't your fault."
"It is a crime to possess a treasure."
"Yes, that's not your problem. Besides, don't you trust Grandpa? Now that this person has come to our house, Grandpa will definitely handle it properly."
"I know grandpa will solve it, but I'm still a little unhappy. The New Year is coming soon, but my family has to face such troubles because of me."
"You think too much. What's the point of worrying about this? Isn't this just watching a big play? Going to the theater to watch a model play is so expensive and tickets are so hard to buy. Now there is a free big play to watch. We are really taking advantage of it."
Xie Jinxuan then laughed: "Thank you, now that you said that, I feel a little relieved."
"But you still look a little depressed. Do you have anything else to say?"
Xie Jinxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I don't understand why you want to bet with her. In fact, we don't know what kind of people her parents are. If you lose the bet, you will divorce me. I know your character. You will definitely do what you say."
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Yes, if I lose, I will definitely divorce you."
"That……"
"No one said that we can't remarry. After divorce, we can get married again." Xia Qingtang smiled slyly.
Xie Jinxuan finally relaxed: "You, even I didn't think of this."
"It's rare that you're dumber than me. I must go back and tell everyone."
As they were talking, they returned home.
Before Xie Chengye and his mother arrived home, the old man called one of his subordinates over and the two were talking in the study.
Grandma and Sixth Aunt were sitting in the living room doing needlework. Xie Jinyun had no interest in reading or doing homework. Instead, she lay there listening to the radio.
"Are you back? Is the person locked up?" asked grandma.
"Lock her up well and have people take turns watching her so she won't do anything stupid." Xie Jinxuan said.
"That's good. Now we just have to wait for her parents and your second uncle to come." Grandma said, "Don't be depressed. Grandma knows what you are thinking. You just feel that you are causing trouble for us. But you have to remember that we are a family. We don't talk about those things. When we encounter something like this, we face it together as a family."
Xie Jinxuan smiled and sat down next to her grandmother: "Qingtang said the same thing just now."
"We Qingtang are good children."
Just then, Xie Chengye and his mother came back. Both of them looked a little tired and their complexions were not very good.
Grandma said, "What's wrong? Isn't it going well?"
Xie Chengye said: "It went smoothly. Wu Jinfeng's parents said they would come over immediately, and Tian Guoqiang would come with them. I also called my father-in-law and mother-in-law. My father-in-law said that if there was anything that couldn't be negotiated, he would personally bring my eldest brother to deal with it."
"Since the deal has been made, why do you look like that?"
"Hey, we had a fight. Tian Guoqiang and his wife had a big argument with us on the phone, saying that we ruined the second son's career." Xie's mother said, "I'm sorry, my family did something like this, I'm really..."
"It's all right now, so don't take the blame on yourself. You passed this on to Jinxuan. She was also worried just now, just like you, and felt that she had caused trouble for the family. But we are a family, and this is not your responsibility, so why think so much?" Grandma said, "The old man has friends over there, too. Don't worry, if the Wu family doesn't take good care of their daughter, the old man will find someone to help them do that."
With grandma around, the whole family can feel relieved.
The next day was Xie Jinxuan's last working day. In the morning, Xia Qingtang got up on time and personally sent him to work.
The guard at the door smiled and joked with them: "Thank you, Director. You have a wife to send you to work. This is a good treatment."
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "Yes, my wife is always good to me."
Seeing that he looked normal and there was no bad emotion in his eyes, Xia Qingtang turned and walked towards the bus stop.
The Xie family received a lot of New Year's goods during the Spring Festival. She packed up some of them and planned to send them to the Hu family.
The steel plant has already been closed for holiday, and Hu Yanni and her family are busy at home, making preparations for the New Year.
Xia Qingtang handed over the New Year's goods she brought, and Mother Hu was very happy: "Is it enough for you guys to eat?"
"There's enough food, so I sent these over." Xia Qingtang said with a smile, "Jinxuan asked me to ask if your family is free on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so that we can come and wish you a happy new year."
Mother Hu said: "We have to visit relatives before the fifth day of the New Year, so we may not be at home. If you come, it will be after the sixth day, and we should be at home."
"Okay, then Jinxuan and I will come over on the seventh day of the New Year. We will take the train to visit grandma on the eighth day of the New Year."
Hu Yanni immediately asked, "How is his grandmother's health now?"
"It's still the same, which is good. It's good news that the condition hasn't gotten any worse." Xia Qingtang said, "But the old man never talks much about his health in his letters, so we should go and see him in person to feel at ease."
"Yes, since you have time and can buy tickets, let's go and take a look," said Hu's mother.
After chatting with Hu's father and mother for a while, Xia Qingtang accompanied Hu Yanni to do the cleaning, and the two of them talked privately in her bedroom.
"Someone introduced me to a date." Hu Yanni whispered, "I haven't decided yet whether to meet him or not."
"Really? What kind of person is he? Can the introducer give us a brief introduction?"
"Yes, he is a young worker in my aunt's factory. He is tall and handsome, and he is a very honest guy."
Xia Qingtang's heart was filled with alarm bells, thinking that this young man from his aunt's factory was the scumbag.
It was also during this period in her previous life that someone offered to introduce a date to Hu Yanni. At that time, Hu Yanni was still thinking about the college entrance examination, so she did not go to meet the man. Later, for some unknown reason, she gave up the college entrance examination. Hu Yanni met that man in May, and the two dated for more than a year, and then got married naturally.
"Yanni, you should consider the college entrance examination first. You see, there will be more colleges, and the possibility of being admitted through the college entrance examination will be greater. I think you can definitely get into college this time. It is better to find a partner after you go to college. Otherwise, you are a college student and the other person is an ordinary worker. There is such a big gap between you two, and the other person will feel inferior." Xia Qingtang said as calmly as possible.
Hu Yanni smiled and said, "I think so too. I also want to do well in the exam. If I really fail, I will consider introducing someone to someone when the time comes. I don't necessarily want to date a college student, but I have also considered the problem of the gap being too big in the future."
"Yes, and besides, if someone asks a matchmaker to introduce them to someone, they must be someone who is old enough and anxious to get married. You are the one who is going to take the college entrance examination, so you should not delay them. If you refuse, they can go to see the next person. If they get along well, maybe they will be married by the time you finish the college entrance examination."
"You're right. I'd better not delay her from finding a partner. When I meet the matchmaker next time, I'll tell her that I'm not looking for a partner this year and let her find someone else."
Xia Qingtang immediately said: "Yes, you must quickly refuse and then study hard. You must be admitted to university. I believe in your ability very much!"
Hu Yanni was very happy: "Thank you, you have always had such confidence in me and even lent me the book that Xiao Xie used."
"He has a lot of review materials. He will lend them to you after he finishes reading them. It won't be wasted." Xia Qingtang said as a matter of course.
Hu Yanni looked outside and suddenly whispered, "But, you just said that there will be a big gap between college students and workers. If Xiao Xie gets into college, will you worry that the gap between you will also be big?"
"Not too worried." Xia Qingtang said.
"You trust him so much? That's right, Xiao Xie has liked you for so many years, and he is really devoted to you."
"No, no, I'm not worried not because I trust him, but because I plan to let nature take its course. Even if he gets into college, I won't stop making progress. Although I can't get into college, there are more colleges, and there will be more ways to learn in the future. I will also find a way to go to night school and get a diploma. But the most important thing is that I will follow my own ideas and strive for my own career. I've thought about it. No one can guarantee that they will not change their hearts for a person for a lifetime. What I have to do is to walk my own path. If Xie Jinxuan becomes very great in the future and I am no longer worthy of him, that's okay. He can leave me, and I have the ability to live on my own, and that's enough."
Hu Yanni listened very attentively. She stared at Xia Qingtang with her beautiful big eyes, and then she started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy for you." Hu Yanni smiled and said, "Qingtang, you are really completely different from before. It's great that you are like this now. I don't quite understand what you said, but when I think about it carefully, I think what you said makes sense."
"You really know how to praise me."
"Because you deserve to be praised. I'm also a little curious, what do you mean by your career? Are you planning to become the chairman of the union in the future?"
“Haha, that’s a good idea, but I probably won’t stay in a cotton mill forever.”
"Ah? Where else can you work if not in the cotton mill? Do you want to work in a government office?"
"No, no, I can't explain it clearly right now. Anyway, I will work hard in the union for the time being."
After chatting with Hu Yanni in private for a long time and making sure that she would study hard for the university entrance exam, Xia Qingtang went back with peace of mind.
Aunt Six was frying dumplings at home. She made several kinds of dumplings, both sweet and salty. The whole house was filled with fragrance as soon as one entered the house. The greedy Xia Qingtang immediately ran to the kitchen and asked for a few freshly fried dumplings to eat secretly.
After eating the dumplings, she changed her clothes and went to help Aunt Liu.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Jinxuan was the first to come back from get off work, followed by his second uncle Tian Guoqiang.
Grandma stared at him with a half-smile: "Where are Wu Jinfeng's parents?"
Tian Guoqiang said with a dark face: "They stayed in the guesthouse next door. I thought it was almost time, so I went to find Jinxuan and followed him here first. I wanted to ask where your Wu Jinfeng is."
"He's at the police station, there are people watching him, he won't commit suicide." Grandma said, "Then Jinxuan, you entertain your second uncle, and we'll deal with this matter when your grandfather comes back."
But Tian Guoqiang couldn't wait and kept pestering Xie Jinxuan to go see Wu Jinfeng to make sure she was safe.
Xie Jinxuan ignored him, so Tian Guoqiang turned around and walked out, saying that he would go to the police station to look for her.
Before I even walked out of the door, I saw Grandpa Xie and Xiao Wan coming in from outside, wrapped in cold air.
When he saw Grandpa Xie, Tian Guoqiang suddenly became half a head shorter. He greeted him politely and then stood there motionless.
Grandpa Xie asked, "Where are Wu Jinfeng's parents?"
"In the guest house, I didn't dare bring them here, for fear of making you angry."
"Okay, then Jinxuan, come with me, we'll go to the guesthouse now." After saying that, the old man took Xiao Wan out again.
Xia Qingtang chased out from the kitchen. Xie Jinxuan squeezed her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, the problem will be solved when we come back."
"Don't worry. I just hope you can help remind Wu Jinfeng that I made a bet with her and she must accept the defeat." Xia Qingtang laughed.
Xie Jinxuan smiled and nodded, then followed them out.
Xia Qingtang continued to prepare dinner with Aunt Liu. Because they didn't know what time they would be back, Aunt Liu made some rolled noodles and left them there so that she could boil water and cook them when they came back.
It was not until 7:30 in the evening that Grandpa Xie and his group returned. Mother Xie and Tian Guoqiang walked at the end, and neither of them looked very happy.
Grandma immediately asked, "What happened? Was the person taken away?"
"Wu Jinfeng's parents realized their mistake and promised in front of all of us that Wu Jinfeng would not cause any trouble to anyone in our family again. If Wu Jinfeng causes trouble to us again, her parents will cut off ties with her and stop supporting her financially." Xie Chengye said, "Anyway, Wu Jinfeng has been handed over to her parents. If anything happens to her later, it has nothing to do with us. We handed her over intact."
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief: "Did she try to commit suicide in there?"
"I heard that he was very well behaved in the first half of the night, but in the second half he deliberately banged his head against the wall or something. Fortunately, he didn't cause any substantial harm."
Grandma looked at Tian Guoqiang again: "When are you going home? The New Year is almost here."
Tian Guoqiang said: "I'll take the train back tomorrow morning, just in time for the Chinese New Year."
"That's fine. Then sit down and have some hot tea." Grandma said, and started to make tea for Tian Guoqiang.
Xie's mother pushed Tian Guoqiang and then gave him a look.
Tian Guoqiang had no choice but to lower his head and say, "I was wrong about this, and I apologize to everyone."
Grandma didn't say anything, but continued to make tea, but Grandpa Xie said, "The person you should apologize to the most is Jinxuan."
Tian Guoqiang was silent now. As an elder, he couldn't apologize to his juniors.
Xie's mother then asked, "Why? You don't want to apologize to my son? Weren't you and your wife quite active when you harmed my son? Why won't you apologize now?"
"Don't say such things. How have I harmed him? How can Jinxuan suffer a loss when a girl pursues a boy? Besides, you have no vision. What kind of family is the Wu family? If they get married, Jinxuan will definitely have a bright future!" Tian Guoqiang argued.
Mother Xie was so angry that she laughed: "We have no vision? The Wu family has some power in your city, how can it have anything to do with our Xie family? Do you know how far we are? Their Wu family has such a long arm that they can reach us? Let me say something I shouldn't say. If we really want to talk about being well-matched, just based on the Wu family, can they be worthy of my son? Do you know what position Grandpa Jinxuan holds? Do you really think the Wu family can get close to us?"
Tian Guoqiang's face darkened: "You just married into a good family, didn't you? Yes, your father-in-law is a big leader, we can't afford him! What are you so proud of? Mr. Xie will not be in office for a few years. When he steps down, I wonder what you are so proud of?"
Mother Xie was so angry that she wanted to fight with her second brother, but was stopped by Xie Chengye.
Xie Chengye said, "Tian Laoer, I think you should leave. Our home is not suitable for you to be a guest, and you don't look like a guest. Please leave."
"Just get out. Do you think I want to stay in your house?" After saying that, Tian Guoqiang slammed the door and left.
Mother Xie was so angry that her heart ached. She sat on the sofa for a long time and couldn't calm down.
Xia Qingtang and Xie Jinxuan slowly helped her to relax and she felt a little better.
Xie Chengye said: "Fortunately, they will go back tomorrow. Just don't contact them in the future. Don't be too angry."
Mother Xie whispered, "I hope this matter won't go wrong again. If anything goes wrong again, I really won't be able to resist and fight with Tian Lao Er!"
"Then move, I'll help you." Xie Chengye said.
Mother Xie burst out laughing: "If two of us beat him up, he will definitely accuse us of bullying."
"Then bully him. He made you angry."
Xie Chengye coaxed Xie's mother into calm down in no time, and after eating some hot noodle soup, she finally recovered.
The next day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year. The whole family compound was filled with joy. The children were playing wildly in the yard, and those who were on good terms with them would visit each other casually. Xie Jinyun also followed her good classmates to visit each other's houses to eat delicious food.
His little classmates also came to Xie's house. Aunt Liu took out her fried dumplings and various snacks to feed them, and Xia Qingtang also made milk tea for them.
Use the prepared milk powder to make black tea directly, then filter out the tea residue, and you will have a cup of very fragrant milk tea.
The children had never drunk this kind of thing before. Two of them liked it after one sip, but another couldn’t get used to it after just two sips.
Xie's mother really likes the taste of milk tea and said that she would drink it this way in the future.
At noon, Aunt Liu and Xia Qingtang prepared six dishes. The family sat together. Xie Chengye opened a bottle of good wine. Just as he was about to pour it for everyone, he heard Tian Guoqiang shouting outside: "Xie Jinxuan! Xie Jinxuan! Come out!"

Xie Jinxuan stood up: "I'll go out and take a look."
The others followed. When Xie Jinxuan opened the door, she saw Tian Guoqiang sweating profusely, his lips were pale, and his eyes were full of panic.
"Second uncle, is the train delayed? Why are you still here?" Xie Jinxuan asked.
"Don't mention the train. We didn't go to the train station at all." Tian Guoqiang grabbed Xie Jinxuan and asked, "Did Wu Jinfeng come to see you? Did she?"
"No, we have been at home today, and the only person who came to see me was you, my second uncle."
Xie Chengye said, "What do you mean by asking this? Did Wu Jinfeng run away?"
"Yes, everything was fine. Her parents packed her luggage in the morning and we were about to go to the train station. Who knew she went to the toilet and disappeared in the blink of an eye. We also called the police and searched for her in the area for a long time. Then we went to the cotton mill leaders and her new colleagues, and also looked for her in the factory, but we couldn't find her. I thought she didn't know anyone here, so I came here to ask. Her parents didn't dare to come, for fear of making you angry, so I had to ask." Tian Guoqiang said, "It's New Year's Day, and someone is missing. What do you think we should do?"
