Xiaoqin goes home
Hu Yufeng was cutting the tofu with a knife, expressionless.
Even Qin Yu and Qin Shu slowed down their footsteps. Only the cicadas on the tree kept chirping without any notice.
It’s been three days and no one has come to the Yang family.
Hu Yufeng didn't care at all and just cut tofu every day. Yang Xiu didn't even dare to pick up the knife, for fear that his mother-in-law would get angry because she had no tofu to cut.
Qin Xiaoqin went from being furious to being willing to compromise and then to anxiously waiting. She has no time to find fault with anyone, and at a certain time every day she turns into a husband-waiting stone.
After dinner that day, Qin Xiaoqin finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Qin Wenli awkwardly:
"Brother, I don't know if Niuniu is doing well at home. I'm worried. Why don't you go check on her?"
Qin Wenli frowned when he heard that: "You are being taken care of by your parents, there is nothing to worry about. But if you are really anxious, why don't you take a bus back tomorrow?"
Qin Xiaoqin raised her brows when she heard this: "My mother-in-law is lazy and doesn't even know how to feed the baby..." She wanted to scold her mother-in-law again, but after seeing Qin Wenli's unfriendly expression, she shut her mouth.
His expression changed several times and he finally muttered, "How can I go back alone? Ask Brother Wen Zheng to accompany me..."
"Call Brother Wen Zheng, then your aunt will know about this. It's okay if you don't mind." Qin Wenli reminded.
As expected, Qin Xiaoqin no longer mentioned asking Qin Wenzhen to come, and only asked Qin Wenli to send her off.
Qin Wenli said sternly, "I can take you back, but I'll say a few words that you don't like. You should be careful with your words next time. If you get beaten for an argument again next time, I won't be able to go back."
Qin Xiaoqin lowered her head and didn't respond.
Qin Wenli still asked Hu Yufeng for permission, and as he expected, Hu Yufeng also wanted to go.
Early in the morning of that day, the three of them boarded a bus to Yang County and arrived at Yang's house in silence.
Qin Wenli knocked on the door, and it was Yang Xu's mother Wei Ping who opened the door. Wei Ping was very enthusiastic, and when she saw Hu Yufeng, she took her hand and walked into the house:
"Mother-in-law, I haven't seen you for over a year. You look energetic again. How is your family? Is everything okay? Xiaoqin will pour some water for your mother and brother..."
Qin Xiaoqin raised her drooping head and agreed loudly.
Seeing this, Hu Yufeng's cold face could no longer remain cold in the face of the overflowing enthusiasm, and she cheered up and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine. How are you?"
"It's still the same as always. He takes medicine all the time. He can't help the child at all and he's causing a lot of trouble."
Hu Yufeng's heart trembled, here it comes.
"Look at what you said. You raised them to this age, so it's your responsibility to take care of them. Why are you talking about whether it's a bother or not..."
Wei Ping's eyes were filled with worry. "My mother-in-law is very reasonable, and Xiaoqin is also a good child. Well, we are a family, and we don't have to talk about our differences. His father lost his temper a few days ago, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep well for a few days. I urged Yang Xu to apologize to you, my mother-in-law, but my body didn't hold up and I fainted. I'm feeling better today..."
Hu Yufeng pondered over this "mistake".
I thought to myself, "It's Xiaoqin's fault. This child is outspoken and lost her voice for a moment, which caused my father-in-law to fail. I was so angry that I gave her a good beating. It's not because she missed Nini that I came here today.
Wei Ping's mouth froze, and she quickly took Hu Yufeng's hand: "As soon as Xiaoqin came into our family, we treated her like our own daughter. Her father also regrets it, and I hope her mother-in-law doesn't blame her."
How can I blame my own daughter for being beaten by her father?
"My father-in-law taught him well. I raised this child to be a stubborn one. He won't listen to me or his father. I think only Yang Xu can control him. Yang Xu will have to worry about him in the future."
Hu Yufeng said lightly.
"It doesn't matter whether they worry about it or not. As long as they live a good life, that's more important than anything else." Wei Ping agreed.
"Yes, if anything happens in the future, we old people will take care of it and let the young couple get used to each other. They have a long life ahead of them." Hu Yufeng stopped there. Then he stood up and said, "There's still a lot of things to do at home. Wenli and I will go back first."
Wei Ping quickly stood up and stopped him, "You're leaving right after you got here. Wait for me to prepare some food for us."
Hu Yufeng stopped him, saying, "I just came here after eating this morning. To be honest, I really can't leave home."
Wei Ping's face was full of smiles, and she patted Hu Yufeng's arm instead of holding her hand: "Then you must come often when you are free..."
Hu Yufeng responded with a smile and walked out with Qin Wenzhen.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wei Ping shouted to the room again: "Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin, your mother and your brother are leaving..."
Qin Xiaoqin then came out. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent Hu Yufeng and her son downstairs, and only turned back after they saw them walk out the door.
"Your mother and her family came here with great difficulty, but they didn't even have a bite of food. I feel really embarrassed about this." Wei Ping said with guilt.
Qin Xiaoqin said as a matter of course: "They just ate in the morning and can't eat now. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. They are not outsiders."
Wei Ping: …
Wei Ping felt that she had married a good daughter-in-law because she didn't have many relatives. Although her family was poor, they seemed to have ambitions. Not only did they not come to ask for money, they also always brought her local specialties. It's just that the brain is a little simple, but it's okay to be simple, after all it's all for your own benefit, as long as you don't suffer any loss.
Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli went out and did not take the bus back immediately because the bus back did not leave until 3:30 and it was only 11:30 now.
Hu Yufeng felt heartbroken again when she thought of this. Her good daughter was so happy to see them off that she didn't even think about the fact that the train was still a long way from departure.
You become immune to the heartbreak after experiencing it so many times. For example, at this moment, Hu Yufeng was disappointed for only a moment, and then she invited Qin Wenli to go shopping.
I heard from Qin Xiaoqin that there is a department store in the city. Let's go and see it today.
Qin Wenli was surprised for only a moment before he accepted it. After all, his mother nowadays often made decisions that surprised him, so he was used to it.
He took the initiative to ask passers-by for directions, and then led his mother to the department store.
In just ten minutes, the mother and son were standing in front of the department store.
Hu Yufeng looked up and saw that the building in front of her was located at the corner of a crossroads. It was arc-shaped, three stories high, and covered with white tiles. The large glass windows glowed with a cold orchid light. The glass door on the first floor was wide open, and it looked very lively with people coming and going.
If it were the previous Hu Yufeng, she would have been a little timid when facing these city things, but now she is no longer the poor old woman she used to be, so she walked into the gate calmly with Qin Wenli.
Once you enter, you can't take in all the sights. Glass counters are lined up next to each other, selling watches, small appliances, toys...
The mother and son were dazzled by what they saw. Hu Yufeng pretended to be calm and looked at each counter one by one.
The shop owner would greet her from time to time: "Auntie, what are you buying? Come and have a look. It's okay if you don't want to buy anything, just take a look..."
Hu Yufeng also smiled and waved her hand, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing, we'll just take a look..."
"Okay, then, ma'am, take a look and I'll get you whatever you like..."
The owner greeted them with a smile and went on to greet other customers.
