Chapter 230: He has been single for most of his life because of that girl]
Brother-in-law?
Ye Qingyue's heart moved. Qin Erhua's brother-in-law is the younger brother of Lu Xue's father.
Could he be a member of the Lu Ai Party?
Ye Qingyue asked, "Who is Aunt Qin's brother-in-law...?"
"His name is Lu Aiguo, and he serves in the special forces. When he was young, he was really passionate about the country. He almost lost his life several times while doing his missions. My mother-in-law is still fasting and praying for his safety every day because of him."
Qin Erhua said, "Now he is older and his health is not as good as that of young people. He gradually stopped participating in special missions and retreated to the second line. He no longer has to worry about his life, but he still makes his family worry a lot."
"Lu Aiguo?"
Ye Qingyue said, "When my family lived in Jiangcheng, a leader from the special department came to inspect. His name was Lu Aidang. I wonder if the two are relatives?"
"What a coincidence?"
Qin Erhua was even more surprised. She said, "Aidang is the elder brother of Aiguo and also my husband's second brother."
Ye Qingyue sorted out the relationship and nodded, "So that's how it is..."
"Hey, if Aiguo was like Aidong, my mother-in-law wouldn't have such a headache every day. She would have wanted to live in a temple."
Qin Erhua was also quite troubled when she mentioned her husband's brother.
"Is Aiguo still unmarried?" Li Qi seemed to know something and asked.
"Do you still remember? Oh, I feel embarrassed every time I mention it..."
Qin Erhua didn't expect that Li Qi, who was in a daze, actually remembered that old story.
Seeing Ye Xianghong and Ye Qingyue looking at her curiously, she explained, "My brother-in-law is now in his early 40s. Logically, children of this age should get married, but he has never had a blind date, let alone a wife!"
"Is it because of that person?" Li Qi asked again.
"Yes."
Qin Erhua sighed, "Aiguo has been waiting for her for so many years. My mother-in-law said that as long as that woman is still alive, no matter how poor, ugly or disabled she is, she is willing to take her in, as long as my brother-in-law can be happy... But it has been more than ten years, and Aiguo refused to say who that woman is!"
"What?" Ye Qingyue's curiosity was aroused when she heard this.
Qin Erhua explained: "It was like this, about ten years ago... We don't know the exact time. At that time, Aiguo was in the special forces and would not go home for several years, carrying out missions outside."
"In the blink of an eye, he was a grown man in his twenties, but still single. My mother-in-law was worried. One time, she took the opportunity when Aiguo went home to visit his relatives and wanted to arrange a blind date for him, but he rejected her outright, saying that he would not even want a fairy."
"Listen to what he said, anyone can guess that he has someone in his heart."
Qin Erhua added: "So my mother-in-law asked him which girl he had taken a fancy to, but he refused to tell her."
"He only said that he has someone in his heart, but it's impossible for him and that person to be together. Even so, he doesn't want anyone else and doesn't want to be with girls he doesn't love. He just wants to be single for the rest of his life."
Qin Erhua sighed and said, "He really did what he said. He has been single for most of his life for that girl and he still hasn't got married."
"This..."
Ye Qingyue was surprised. He is really a love-sick person.
Qin Erhua said, "Because of him, my parents-in-law are worried. It's not that they think he can't live well alone, but they think it's too lonely."
"You won't be lonely."
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Qin Erhua looked over and saw that Ye Xianghong, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
Ye Xianghong said, "He probably... won't be lonely."
"Huh?" Qin Erhua was stunned and said, "How can you not be lonely if you live alone..."
"I am alone too."
Ye Xianghong said seriously, "But I have Qingyue, Xiaomei, Afeng..."
At this point, she looked at Li Qi beside her, and the mother and daughter were still holding hands, "There are also mother, father... brother... I have a lot of people, so I won't be lonely. Your brother-in-law will definitely not be lonely with you by his side."
Qin Erhua smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, you haven't seen my brother-in-law. If you have seen him, you won't think he is not lonely."
Ye Xianghong was stunned and didn't understand what Qin Erhua meant.
Qin Erhua didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and asked Ye Xianghong about recognizing her relatives.
She learned such a big thing today, she should ask clearly, go home and talk to her husband and them, and prepare gifts for the New Year visit.
It was almost time for dinner when Qin Erhua left. Before she left, she said, "Then we'll see each other during the Chinese New Year."
Ye Xianghong smiled, nodded, and sent her to the door. When she came back, she looked worried.
Ye Qingyue asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
"The Chinese New Year is only a few days away..."
Ye Xianghong said, "Your father's tomb has not been relocated yet, and the portrait has not been painted."
At this time, it would be impossible to find a painter in the park. People have to go back home for the Chinese New Year.
"I'll paint."
Li Qi suddenly spoke up. She patted the back of Ye Xianghong's hand, signaling her daughter not to worry, "I can paint."
"Really?" Ye Xianghong smiled.
"But the painting supplies are all at home..."
Li Qi didn't bring anything when he came last night.
"Let's go back and get it after dinner."
Ye Qingyue could already smell the fragrance of Ye Feng's cooking in the kitchen. Outside the door, Ye Mei shouted for her to come home and help carry the things she had bought.
"Okay."
Seeing that the matter of Ye Yong's portrait had been settled, Ye Xianghong was no longer as anxious as before.
After dinner, Ye Mei and Ye Feng stayed at home to sort out the things they had just bought.
Ye Qingyue took her mother and grandmother back to the Jiang family. As soon as they
arrived at the door, they saw a stone for looking at wives. When
Old Man Jiang saw them, he came over with a cane, "I felt that you were coming. As soon as I came out, I saw you."
The bodyguard at the side showed an indescribable expression: "..." They should not expose the fact that Mr. Jiang had been waiting at the door since morning.
"It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Li Qi saw him and urged him into the house, "You are old, take a good rest in the house."
Mr. Jiang responded cheerfully and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Aunt Wang bought some lean meat and made sweet and sour pork loin for you, okay? Which one do you like best..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qi said, "I'll eat at Yue'er's house tonight."
Mr. Jiang: "..." He heard the sound of heartbreak.
"Didn't you stay overnight at Yue'er's house yesterday? Don't stay at the child's house all the time. What if you disturb her?" Mr. Jiang kept his face and didn't say that he was too lonely as a left-behind elderly.
Ye Xianghong immediately shook her head when she heard this: "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me..."
Old Master Jiang's expression froze, and he looked at the leaky cotton quilt with resentment, but he didn't dare to refute.
Ye Qingyue noticed her grandfather's little thoughts and almost couldn't help laughing. She coughed lightly and said: "Grandpa, now grandma and mother sleep in the same room, which is really not good. We should make a room for the elderly to sleep in the house, otherwise you can't squeeze into one room every time you visit us in the future, right?"
