Chapter 50
Tian Guohao and others would not mention the second son's family, as if there was no second son in this family.
Because she had gained a lot of things, my aunt is now more considerate to my grandmother. The care she gave her originally has increased to 120 points, which also allows Xie Jinxuan to go home with peace of mind.
Xia Qingtang felt that this trip had a great impact on her. Because of the things happening in the Tian family, she rethought a lot of things and realized once again how rare a family like the Xie family is.
Their family conditions are so good, but their children are not raised in bad ways. Instead, the family is harmonious, and their descendants are all motivated and hardworking.
Fortunately, only one member of the Tian family was crooked, and the others were still normal.
On the afternoon of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, after saying goodbye to grandma, Tian Feiyang drove and sent Xie Jinxuan and Xia Qingtang to the train with Grandpa Tian.
Mr. Tian held Xie Jinxuan's hand and said softly, "Go back and tell your mother to come back and see us when she has time. I'm afraid your grandmother doesn't have much time left. She misses Guoqin very much. Come back and see her when you have time."
The old man must have missed his daughter very much, but he didn't say it out loud.
Xie Jinxuan's eyes were red. "I know. I'll tell my mother when I get back. It's just after the Chinese New Year and she's not so busy. I should be able to take some time off to come here."
"Good kid." The old man hugged Xie Jinxuan and said, "Be careful on the road. I have told the flight attendant. Just be more alert when you sleep."
"Yes, I will. Grandpa, please take care of yourself. If you have any news about grandma, please call us as soon as possible."
The old man nodded and got off the train with Tian Feiyang.
Xia Qingtang sat quietly beside Xie Jinxuan, holding his hand tightly. After he calmed down, the two of them started to eat dinner on the train as usual.
Xie Jinxuan didn't sleep well that night. He put the luggage bag under his head and would be awakened by any slight movement. Fortunately, the journey was smooth and the two of them returned home safely with the bag.
It was Xiao Wan who drove to the train station to pick up the people. It was still dark when they arrived home. Aunt Liu made breakfast for them. After eating, the two of them went back upstairs to take a shower. It was not until half past six that Xie's mother and the others came downstairs.
Xia Qingtang was chatting with her grandmother about Peng Wei's pregnancy. When she saw Xie's mother and the others coming down, she ended the conversation and walked to the dining table.
Xie Jinxuan opened the package at the dining table, and then recounted in detail how her grandmother had distributed the property, as well as what Tian Guoqiang's family had done at the time.
Mother Xie sat at the dining table, touching the cloth bag, and fell into deep thought.
No one else said anything. After a long while, Xie's mother said, "Tian Laoer was right. I really didn't take good care of my parents. Now that mom has given me so many things, I feel ashamed to accept them."
Xie Chengye said: "This is a token of love from parents to their children. If it's given to you, you should accept it. You can spend it or leave it to Jinxuan and Xiaoyun. These are all good things."
Mother Xie nodded and said, "You are right. Mom loves Jinxuan the most. She left the ancient books to me, and she should pass them on to Jinxuan. It is too early now. When Xiaoyun gets married, I will divide these things among you."
Xie Jinxuan said, "Mom, don't be in a hurry. It won't take many years for Xiaoyun to get married. Maybe he will get married after he graduates from college. You will still be young by then. You should keep the things."
"Hey, if I have things in my hands, I will get anxious. When you two grow up, I will just divide them between you." Xie's mother said, "If you really wait until I am old and you fight with me about dividing things, I won't be able to do it anymore."
"Mom, I won't make trouble with you. It doesn't matter if you give these things to my brother. I will be a college student in the future and won't need this money." Xie Jinyun said seriously.
The whole family laughed. After laughing, Xie's mother said, "You are still young, so of course you would say that. But when you have your own children, you will be selfish and won't think so. So, I will divide the things equally when you get married. However, what about those ancient books? From what I heard from your grandmother, she should want to leave them to Jinxuan..."
"Yes, give all the ancient books to my brother. I don't want them." Xie Jinyun said loudly.
Xie Jinxuan said: "Mom, if you give me an ancient book, I will read it first, and then donate it to the government and put it in a museum."
Xie Chengye's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, it would be nice to donate it to the government!"
“But, weren’t many of the books in the museum burned before…” Xie Jinyun suddenly whispered.
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "I won't do that in the future. I will wait until the museum takes good care of the ancient books before donating them."
"Then donate it to the museum. I agree. It would be better if more people could see it." Xie Jinyun said, "I don't know what kind of ancient books they are. I don't know if I can understand them."
Xie's mother said, "I read them when I was a child, but some of the books were too profound, so I can't remember them clearly. But as long as you study hard, it's easy to understand those books."
"Then I must work hard." Xie Jinyun clenched his fists seriously.
His grades are really good. In this final exam, he ranked second in the class. He is a child that people can trust.
Everyone laughed again. After laughing, Xie Chengye said, "Then let's put these things away for now. It's safest to keep them at home for the time being."
Xie's mother handed him the bag and said, "Deposit the money in the bank and keep the rest."
"Okay." Xie Chengye took the cloth bag away.
Mother Xie continued to ask: "Did your grandmother say anything else?"
"She misses you and wants you to go visit her." Xie Jinxuan whispered, "Grandpa said that grandma may not have much time left, I hope you can hurry up..."
Xie's mother was stunned for a moment and said, "I... Then I will go find someone to buy a train ticket now, and I will go as soon as I can. Actually, I wanted to go with you this time, but I don't know why I didn't want to say it at the time, so I didn't go. I am really an incompetent daughter."
"Grandma never blamed you. She knows your difficulties." Xie Jinxuan said, "Besides, isn't mom going back now?"
Xie Jinyun suddenly said, "Mom, can I go with you? I miss grandma, too."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Xie's mother immediately said, "Of course, I'll take you with me."
Xie Jinyun cheered: "I'm going to pack my luggage now. I also need to bring a gift for grandma!"
When he returned to the bedroom and closed the door, grandma suddenly said, "Our two children are more thoughtful than the other. Xiaoyun usually looks careless and like a little fool, but he can hide so many things in his heart. He must have missed grandma for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it out loud for fear that you would disagree. Now that he heard that you were going, he dared to say it."
Mother Xie was a little stunned: "Are you afraid that I'll be unhappy? When Jinxuan went to see his grandmother, I never said anything."
"Didn't you and your father have a fight? You haven't been in touch for several years. Xiaoyun must have remembered it. He is a thoughtful child. He probably thinks that since his brother has gone there, he can't go there, so as not to upset you. What if you are even more upset? Now that he sees that you are going there too, he dares to say it." Grandma said: "You are also blessed to have such a good child."
Mother Xie's eyes reddened, and she whispered, "Yes, I am very lucky in this life. I have a good mother, a good husband, and good children."
Xie Jinxuan said: "Is it because there is no good father?"
Mother Xie chuckled: "I didn't say that. Your grandpa is not a bad person. It's just that... sometimes he is too stubborn and seems to be inhumane."
"Mom, don't mention the past when you go there this time. I don't care at all that Grandpa didn't help me transfer to the military district, because even if he did, I might not agree. Besides, the previous injury has nothing to do with Grandpa."
"How can it have nothing to do with him? It is definitely related to him! If he was willing to help you transfer to another place, how could you get injured like that? After you were injured, you won a second-class merit, and he said it was a good thing. I was really mad at him! I don't want you to do any merit, I just want you to be safe. He is my father, but he doesn't even understand this! You don't have to say anything about this, just blame him anyway! I won't forgive him either! But I won't mention it this time, I just want to spend time with your grandma, and the rest... I will definitely not say it, don't worry." After Xie's mother finished speaking, she looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, she began to put on her coat, "I'll go out and find someone to help buy train tickets. You and Qingtang have worked hard this time, so have a good rest at home."
It was not easy to buy train tickets at this time, but Xie's mother found someone and bought hard seat tickets for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. She took leave for both herself and Xie Jinyun, planning to stay there for a week before coming back.
Because Xie's mother and Xie Jinyun were not at home to celebrate the Lantern Festival, the whole family planned to celebrate the festival in advance and have a good meal on the fourteenth night of the first lunar month.
Xia Qingtang said: "I have an appointment with my colleagues to go out and play during the day, but I will definitely come back to help in the afternoon."
"You don't need to help. Just have fun outside and come back for dinner." Aunt Liu waved her hand. "I have almost prepared everything. I can do it by myself."
Xia Qingtang didn't say anything, but still planned to come back early on the fourteenth day.
On the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, after she finished her breakfast, Xie Jinxuan rode her bike to the entrance of the park.
It rained and snowed a few days ago, but it cleared up today. The warm sunshine shines on my body, which is very comfortable.
Although it was only nine o'clock in the morning, the park was bustling because the holiday was about to end. Many people went out with their families and brought cookies and snacks to have a picnic in the park.
She waited at the door for two minutes and saw Wen Xiaoli and a few others running towards her, arm in arm.
"You're here so early again!" Wen Xiaoli said with a smile, "You were the one who waited for us last time too."
Xia Qingtang said: "My wife rode a bike to take me here, so she must be faster than you. It's hard to manage your time if you take the bus."
"You're lucky. It's so convenient for your lover to have a bicycle." Luo Cuiju said, "My partner probably can't afford a bicycle. I don't know when we can save enough money after we get married."
Tong Xiaolan said, "If you don't have one, then don't have one. Anyway, your partner's family quarters are not far from our factory, so it will be very convenient for you to walk to work. You don't need a bicycle at all. We don't go out to play every day, so it doesn't matter whether we have a bicycle or not."
Luo Cuiju smiled and pinched Tong Xiaolan's face: "You are really good at talking. You are so considerate. It seems that it will be easy for you to find a partner."
"Hey, don't laugh at me. I have spread the news to all the relatives who came to visit me. They all introduced me to potential partners. I want to carefully choose one that I like!" Tong Xiaolan said, "By the way, Qingtang, your husband's company seems to be pretty good. Does he have any single young men to introduce to me?"
"Ah, there should be one. I'll go back and ask him for details. If you're serious, I'll ask him to introduce one to you." Xia Qingtang said.
"I am definitely serious. I am not young anymore. I must find a partner this year and get married next year at the latest!"
"Then tell me first what your requirements are and what kind of person you want to find, such as height, weight, etc." Xia Qingtang would be very serious when really introducing someone to a partner.
Tong Xiaolan walked forward holding her arm while thinking carefully, and said, "I've thought about it. He can't be too short, at least not shorter than my father, who is 1.7 meters tall. As for fat and thin, too thin is not good either. If he is too thin, his family must be poor and can't eat enough. That's definitely not good. It's best to be strong and healthy. My mother said that the most important thing for a person is health. In the future, if there is something wrong at home, a healthy man can handle it."
"Okay, I need to be at least 1.7 meters tall, strong and healthy. Any other requirements?"
"Just don't be too ugly. You see, I'm not ugly. Just match me in appearance. As for the rest, I don't have any requirements. The other party works in the provincial government. If he is willing to meet me, what else can I complain about?" Tong Xiaolan said with a smile: "That's all."
"Okay, I'll tell Xie Jinxuan when I get back and ask him to find one for you."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to some candied haws today! You see they are in front. Let's go buy some!" Tong Xiaolan pulled Xia Qingtang and ran over there, as happy as a child.
They bought some candied haws in the park and ate them while walking around. Then they went to see various animals. Xia Qingtang also brought her own camera and took pictures of everyone.
"Oh, the four of us should take a group photo here." Wen Xiaoli suddenly said at noon when they were playing.
"Yes, please ask someone to take a group photo for us." Luo Cuiju looked to the side and found a staff member, so she quickly ran over and asked him to take a group photo for them.
The staff member was a bit older, and he said awkwardly: "I don't know how to take pictures, I'm afraid I might damage your things."
"It's okay, thank you." Luo Cuiju ran back, "We should find a young person to take the photo."
As he was speaking, he saw Director Wang from the factory. She also came over to play with her family.
Luo Cuiju was very excited and shouted from a distance: "Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang!"
Secretary Wang was also very happy to see them. He quickly trotted over and said, "Did you guys make an appointment to come and play?"
"Yes, we made an appointment before the New Year. Let's have some fun today. After the 15th, we will go back to work seriously." Tong Xiaolan said, "Secretary Wang, can you use a camera?"
"Yes, what for? Do you want to take pictures?" Secretary Wang said with a smile: "I'll help you take pictures."
Xia Qingtang thanked her, handed the camera to Secretary Wang, and asked her to take a small group photo of the four of them.
"Okay, the photo should be pretty good." Secretary Wang returned the camera.
Luo Cuiju said: "Secretary Wang, thank you. Fortunately, we met you, otherwise we wouldn't have found anyone to take a photo with us."
"Why are you being polite? Have you been playing for the whole morning?" asked Secretary Wang.
"Yes, we'll play for a while and then we'll go out, what about you guys?"
"I just came here with my family. We will play until the afternoon before going back." Secretary Wang looked at Xia Qingtang and suddenly said, "Xiao Xia, can I talk to you alone?"
"Okay." Xia Qingtang followed Secretary Wang to the side, thinking that she was going to talk about something about work.
"I went to a relative's house for dinner yesterday. When I came out, I saw your brother on the road. Next to him was a female comrade with her face wrapped in a scarf. She looked a little familiar to me, but I didn't dare to recognize her. But I also felt it was unlikely. I just happened to run into you. I want to ask you, is your brother in a relationship? Do you know who his relationship is?" Secretary Wang whispered.
Xia Qingtang was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xia Qinghai to take Wu Jinfeng out of the house. Was it because he was about to go to work, so it didn't matter?
She said: "To be honest, my relationship with my brother is very distant. I know nothing about his affairs. When we went to pay New Year's greetings before, we only stood there for a few minutes before leaving."
"I think so. I heard from people in the factory that you have a bad relationship with your family."
"Can I ask you a question? Secretary Wang, the female comrade you saw looked like a familiar person. Who was that person?"
Director Wang's voice became even quieter. "You may not believe it if I tell you this. In fact, I cannot believe it myself, but I did see it. The man was wearing a light grey woolen coat. The coat, pants and shoes were clearly Wu Jinfeng's. She wore them when she was at work before. But she looked a lot thinner. I wonder if she didn't have a good Chinese New Year. But Wu Jinfeng is from another place. It's not even the fifteenth day of the lunar year yet. Why did she come back so early? Also, how could such a proud person like your brother? Ah... That's not what I meant. I'm not talking about your brother... What I meant was that Wu Jinfeng is very picky. She probably wouldn't make friends with people from the factory."
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Yes, how could Wu Jinfeng be friends with someone from the factory? I don't know if that person is her, but I can ask her when I go back to work on the 16th day of the first lunar month."
"I won't talk to her. Haven't I had enough of what happened last time? From now on, I won't say a word to her except for work arrangements!" Secretary Wang said angrily, and then said: "Okay, I won't delay your fun. See you later at the factory."
Several people said goodbye to Secretary Wang and continued walking forward.
Luo Cuiju asked curiously, "Did Secretary Wang tell you about work? He's so secretive."
"Yes, it's something about work. Our union and the factory office have never been particularly harmonious, so we have to be careful with our words." Xia Qingtang said with a smile.
"That's right. Your union has been fighting with the factory office for so many years, but the union always wins. With you here, the factory office will be even more useless." Luo Cuiju laughed.
Because they had some snacks like candied haws and sugar-roasted chestnuts, no one was very hungry. We played until 2:30 in the afternoon, when a few of them decided to go out.
"There's no place to eat now. Do you want to eat at the place we went last time?" Tong Xiaolan said in a low voice.
Wen Xiaoli shook her head: "I'm not that hungry yet. We have guests coming to our house tonight, so I'd better not go out to eat. I'll go back early to help."
Xia Qingtang also said: "I also want to go back early to help. Besides, I'm not hungry. How about you and Cui Ju go together?"
"If everyone is not here, don't go. Besides, if we eat now, we won't be able to eat in the evening. It's better to save some money in the evening." Luo Cuiju said, "Then let's go back now?"
"Okay, let's go back. We had a lot of fun today and took so many photos. I really want to thank Qingtang." Wen Xiaoli smiled and said, "I need to develop two copies of my photos. I'll give you the money in advance."
"No need. Just give it to me after you're done washing. We're all friends. You won't lose anything from me." As Xia Qingtang was speaking, a couple arm in arm came over from the fork in the road next to them and they bumped into each other.
When both sides looked at each other, they were stunned.
Xia Qingtang held Tong Xiaolan's arm and continued to walk forward without changing his expression. However, Kong Liangchao, who was hugging the girl, came closer and shouted at her: "Xia Qingtang, why are you running? You ran when you saw me. Are you afraid or guilty?"
I haven't seen him for a long time, and Kong Liangchao hasn't changed much. Although he has lost his job now, he still dresses very stylishly, with a black wool coat with navy blue trousers and a pair of safety leather shoes. His hair has grown a little longer, and his skin is whiter than in the summer, but the dark circles under his eyes are more obvious.
The girl next to him was about twenty years old. She had a pretty face, an oval face, and a pair of big watery eyes. At first glance, she was a bit similar to Xia Qingtang, but not as delicate and beautiful as Xia Qingtang.
When she saw Kong Liangchao stopping these young girls, she immediately showed an unhappy look on her face. She immediately asked, "Who are these? Are they your friends again?"
Xia Qingtang said coldly: "We don't have such friends."
"Haha, you're talking like this now, but you were engaged to me before?" Kong Liangchao stared at Xia Qingtang's increasingly fair and delicate face, his anger growing. He glanced at her new cotton-padded jacket and new cotton-padded shoes again, and couldn't help but sneered, "You look down on me, and marry that kind of man. Is this how you live now? You can't even afford leather shoes, bah!"
"What are you doing?" Wen Xiaoli immediately stood up to defend Xia Qingtang, "Behave yourself, or I'll call for help! I know who you are, you're the one with the surname Kong, right? I remember you're married, you're hugging your lover, and you're still acting indecently here, be careful or I'll tell the police!"
The girl next to Kong Liangchao immediately jumped up: "What? You are married? Didn't you tell me you were not married? What's going on?"
Xia Qingtang said coldly: "He has been married for several months, and you don't even know this?"
The girl immediately started crying and making a fuss, grabbing Kong Liangchao by the collar of his coat and demanding an explanation from him.
Wen Xiaoli and the others had never seen such a scene before, and they were all shocked.
Kong Liangchao was so annoyed that he pushed the young girl to the ground. "Damn it! I'm so annoyed! Does it have anything to do with you whether I get married or not? Am I going to marry you? Who do you think you are? You're just a vegetable seller in a grocery store. How dare you tell me this?"
The girl fell to the ground, so shocked by these words that she even forgot to cry for a moment.
Wen Xiaoli and Luo Cuiju quickly went over to help the girl up: "Are you okay? Let us help you call the police! He is committing hooliganism for doing this!"
"What kind of hooliganism? Have I ever done anything to her? Ask her. I haven't even held her hand. I'm not afraid of being sued by anyone!" Kong Liangchao sneered. "If you want to sue me, return the watch you received before, as well as the high-end snacks and fabrics I gave you. Don't you think about it? If I hadn't been married, would I be friends with you? By the way, we are friends, not a man-woman relationship! You have to understand clearly, don't wrongly accuse me!"
The girl's face showed a very humiliated expression, and then she burst into tears.
Xia Qingtang said, "Don't cry, what's there to cry about? Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to find out that he is a bad guy as soon as possible?"
"But...but...he said that to me...I...wooooooo..." The girl cried so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, obviously she was extremely ashamed.
"You are talking about him too. He was fired from the Grain Bureau and doesn't even have a job. How can he have the nerve to look down on you? At least you still have a formal job. Aren't you much better than him?" Xia Qingtang observed his expression, "You don't even know this, do you?"
Kong Liangchao said: "What's wrong with me being fired? My family are all cadres. I have food and drink even if I don't go to work. Can you compare with me?"
The girl really didn't know about this. She was shocked: "What? He was fired from the Grain Bureau? He clearly said he was a cadre!"
"Next time you're dating someone, remember to check their workplace and don't just believe whatever they say." Xia Qingtang said, "But he's really being a hooligan. I suggest you tell the police and notify his family, saying that he's a married man pretending to be single to deceive single women like you."
Since this girl accepted a watch after just meeting someone, it means she is not a fool. After Xia Qingtang said this, she immediately understood.
If this matter is made public, the Kong family will give the girl a certain amount of financial compensation in order to protect Kong Liangchao.
She said, "That's right! I'm going to tell the police! I'm going to the police station! Can you please do me a favor? I'm afraid I can't catch him by myself."
Wen Xiaoli said: "We can call some staff for you. A male comrade should be better."
After hearing what they said, Kong Liangchao realized that the girl might really call the police. He was not a fool, so he ran away immediately.
"Ah! He ran away! The hooligan ran away!" The girl was very anxious. "What should I do? He ran away!"
Although Kong Liangchao didn't exercise much, he was not slow at all when he ran desperately, and he disappeared in an instant.
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know his home address and where his parents work. I'll write it down for you now. You can just take the police to his home to find him."
After saying that, she very enthusiastically took out a small notebook from her bag, wrote two addresses with a pen, and handed it to the girl.
The girl stared at Xia Qingtang's face for a while, and suddenly whispered, "Are you and I a little bit similar?"
Xia Qingtang blinked her big eyes: "Really? We look alike?"
Wen Xiaoli said: "There is a little resemblance, the eyebrows and eyes are similar. You both have almond-shaped eyes, which are dark and bright."
But the girl's nose and mouth are not as pretty as Xia Qingtang's, so they are not that similar.
The girl whispered, "No wonder he chose me. It must be because I look a lot like you. He always said that he liked my eyes the most... I think he chose me because he likes you."
Xia Qingtang couldn't help but feel a chill after hearing this: "Stop it, don't say that again. How can being liked by that kind of person be a good thing? This is a shame. Don't think about it anymore. You are you, you are unique."
The girl was amused by her disgusted reaction. She nodded and said, "Thank you. I will go to his house to find him. Also, although I am unique, I am very similar to you. I am still very happy."
After saying that, the girl took the address and left.
Xia Qingtang watched her walk away and couldn't help feeling a chill.
Tong Xiaolan said: "What did she mean by that?"
"Who knows what it means? This lesbian is not a normal person. The man surnamed Kong looks like a scoundrel, not a good person. Which good lesbian would date such a person?" Wen Xiaoli said: "It's just that this lesbian is lucky to meet us today and know that Kong Liangchao is married. Otherwise, she would be in trouble."
"How can there be such a person? He is married but still cheating on his wife and dating an unmarried lesbian... This is the first time I have heard of such a ridiculous thing." Luo Cuiju said, "Fortunately, Qingtang, you found your current lover and did not listen to your mother and marry him."
"Yes, Qingtang is smart and knows that the man with the surname Kong is not a good person. However, his wife is in trouble now. If this female comrade comes to his house, will his wife be very sad?" Tong Xiaolan asked.
Xia Qingtang said: "It's better to be sad than not knowing the truth. Well, it's getting late, let's go back quickly, otherwise the bus will be full of people."
Kong Liangchao's wife would not be sad. That woman is a very rational person. If she knew that Kong Liangchao had cheated on her, she would only choose other ways to retaliate and torment Kong Liangchao. She wants a family without peace.
Several people walked out hand in hand to take the bus. Xia Qingtang was not going in the same direction as them, so she first sent them to the nearest bus stop, then crossed the road and went to another road to wait for another bus.
After walking to the bus stop, Xia Qingtang looked at his watch and found that it was already a quarter past three. It was just the right time for him to go home and help with dinner.
She pulled down her sleeves and just raised her head when Kong Liangchao jumped over from the side and stood next to Xia Qingtang.
"Where do you live now?"
Xia Qingtang was startled by him, and she immediately moved towards an aunt who was waiting for the bus nearby.
"Why are you hiding? What else can I do to you in broad daylight? I'm just a little curious. What do you want from marrying someone like that? Did you see the girl just now? She's only 19 years old and much smarter than you. She asked me for a watch when she just started dating me. Why didn't you ask me for these things? Don't you want to live a good life? You know, I can give you a lot of good things. I can even buy you a ladies' bicycle." Kong Liangchao stared at Xia Qingtang with a weird look.
Xia Qingtang stood beside the aunt and said coldly: "I am living a good life now, and I don't need you to worry about me. My lover treats me very well, I have enough food and drink, my work is going well, and I am happy every day."
The aunt listened to their conversation. When she heard that Xia Qingtang had a lover, she probably knew what was going on, and she stared at Kong Liangchao with a vigilant look.
But Kong Liangchao really had no plan to do anything in broad daylight, because he was not a fool. There were five or six people waiting for the bus here. If he really did something, he would definitely be taken to the police station.
He stood there and listened to Xia Qingtang's words, and suddenly asked angrily: "Why are you happy every day? I am unhappy every day, why are you happy?"
"Your unhappiness is caused by yourself. If you don't have casual relationships with men and women, will you be fired from your company? I advise you not to go crazy here, and go home quickly to explain everything to your lover. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and that girl might take the police to look for you while you are celebrating the holiday." Xia Qingtang sneered.
Kong Liangchao spat on the ground: "I don't care. I don't even have a job. Do you think I'm afraid of that? My wife? Haha, what do you think that woman can do to me? She is being supported by my family now. She is reluctant to give up our family's wealth and glory."
"Congratulations." Xia Qingtang smiled coldly, thinking that Kong Liangchao really underestimated that female comrade.
Fortunately, the bus came at this time, and Xia Qingtang got on the bus with the aunt.
Kong Liangchao still didn't move. He just stood on the side of the road and stared at Xia Qingtang until the car drove away and he could no longer see it.
After the conductor came over and bought the ticket, the lady said, "Girl, was that man harassing you just now? I don't think he's a good person. You have to be careful and tell your family when you get home. Got it?"
"I will, thank you, auntie." Xia Qingtang thanked her.
When he got home, Aunt Six had just started preparing dinner. Xia Qingtang put down his food, washed his hands, and went to help Aunt Six.
There was a festive atmosphere at home, and she didn't want to ruin it at this time.
For dinner, she made stewed fish with tofu and steamed sausages. Aunt Liu also prepared steamed eggs with dried shrimps for Xie Jinyun so that he could eat more and have a good time tomorrow.
The whole family raised their glasses to celebrate, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
After eating and drinking, Xia Qingtang cleaned up the kitchen, went upstairs to wash up, and then returned to the bedroom to wait for Xie Jinxuan to come.
Xie's mother called him over to talk about something for a while. When Xie Jinxuan came in after washing up, Xia Qingtang was already reading a book and was drowsy.
"Are you back?" Xia Qingtang rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?"
"It's past nine o'clock. Why don't you go to bed if you're sleepy?" Xie Jinxuan walked over, bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"I have something to tell you." Xia Qingtang put down the book, turned over and said, "We met Kong Liangchao in the park today, he..."
She told the story again, and Xie Jinxuan's expression stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
He took off his clothes and lay down in the bed, then took Xia Qingtang's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I have someone keeping an eye on Kong Liangchao and the Kong family. His parents were under investigation before the Chinese New Year, and I heard that his sister's work has some problems too. She might be fired after she goes back home after the Chinese New Year. Their family is a mess right now. If he comes looking for trouble with you, tell me and I'll have someone give him a hard time."
Xia Qingtang was very sleepy, so her reaction was a little slow. After a while, she said, "You hired someone to keep an eye on Kong Liangchao and the Kong family? Why?"
"It's nothing, just in case. He has no job anymore, and I'm afraid he might do something bad." Xie Jinxuan said, "But he has done a lot of bad things. It's okay if he doesn't bother you. If he does, I will definitely not let him off easily."
Xia Qingtang blinked slowly: "Oh, is that so... Then I feel relieved, you are too reliable. But don't worry, Kong Liangchao won't do anything to me. He has money, it's too easy for him to find a girlfriend outside, and his lover will deal with him."
After Xia Qingtang finished speaking, he fell asleep because he was so sleepy.
Xie Jinxuan touched her head with a smile and helped her tidy up the corner of the quilt. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
Sure enough, Kong Liangchao was just as he guessed. He just liked lesbians who looked like Xia Qingtang. In fact, he just liked Xia Qingtang as a person... To the extent that he still couldn't forget her until now, and even found a girl who looked similar to her to date.
Fortunately, Xie Jinxuan had already made preparations. As long as Kong Liangchao dared to do anything, he would not let this person go.
Xia Qingtang slept very comfortably that night and felt energetic when he woke up the next day, but Xie Jinxuan looked a little tired, as if she didn't get enough sleep.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xia Qingtang walked to the stairs and reached out to hold the big hand of Xie Jinxuan who had just come down.
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "I had a lot of dreams, so I didn't sleep well."
"No wonder you got up later than me." Xia Qingtang said, "Let's go to bed early tonight. We have to go to work tomorrow and we need to be in good spirits."
"Qingtang is right. We must be energetic at work, especially in Jinxuan's department. If we are not energetic, mistakes will be made." Grandpa Xie said, "But Jinxuan rarely suffers from insomnia. What's wrong? Are you worried about going to work?"
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "No, I'm just worried about my mother. I'm afraid she will quarrel with grandpa when she goes there."
Xia Qingtang was originally still worried about whether what she said caused Xie Jinxuan to lose sleep, but when she heard this, her attention was immediately diverted. She said, "No, Xiaoyun is with mom. Xiaoyun is so smart, and he will smooth things over immediately if there is any disturbance."
