Dani grabbed Qingke's arm and shook her hard, trying to bring her back to her senses.
The closer they got to Uncle Li and the others' residence, the more uneasy Wencai felt.
"Shumei, how are you going to make my dad forgive me later?"
"Blood is thicker than water, that's an indisputable fact. Perhaps there's no need for an outsider like me to do anything. Uncle Li! Maybe he's already forgiven you, but he can't bring himself to ask you to go back."
Shumei returned to Wencai with a smile. Although Uncle Li did not care about Wencai as much as the old aunt, Shumei knew that he also cared about Wencai, but he did not express his love in words, but kept it in his heart.
She believed that so much time had passed and Uncle Li's anger should have subsided long ago, and what they lacked was just a shameless middleman like her.
"Anyway, I've placed all my hopes on you, so please don't let me down."
Shumei rummaged through the car for a while and brought the vegetables and meat she had bought at the mall to Wencai.
"Later, you will be responsible for carrying these meat and vegetables for lunch."
"You don't need me to mention it. Isn't there Liu Jiang?"
"Do you still want to come back home? If you do, just listen to me. As for Liu Jiang, I won't let him up later. I'm afraid I won't be able to control the situation and you'll lose face in front of your subordinates."
Shumei whispered to Wencai. For Wencai's sake, she decided not to let Liu Jiang follow.
Wencai listened and nodded in agreement.
The two cars were driving fast on the road, one in front and one behind, and soon arrived downstairs of Uncle Li's house.
Last night, Wencai called his brother in advance and asked him to pick them up downstairs.
Wencai and Shumei squeezed out of the car with large and small bags.
"Mr. Li, do you want me to wait here for you?"
Liu Jiang closed the car door and asked Wencai as he was about to walk towards the residential area.
"No, you go back first. In the afternoon, no, I'll call you and you can come pick me up later."
After Wencai finished speaking, he and Shumei walked downstairs together.
Wencai has only been here once, but everything here is engraved in his mind like a brand. He looks forward to returning here again and stepping into that home that tastes of happiness.
Li Wenxue came forward from afar and seeing Wencai carrying a lot of bags, he wanted to help.
"Shumei, Wencai, you're finally here! I've been walking around downstairs for more than ten times. I thought you were backing out again and didn't dare come over to buy so many things! Let me help you carry them!"
"OK!"
Wencai responded with a smile. Of course he was happy to have someone share the burden with him, and he quickly offered some of the bag in his hand to Li Wenxue.
Shumei quickly reached out to stop him.
"Brother Li, I won't bother you with this. This is what he should have brought up. Don't interfere. Be careful not to backfire."
Wencai reluctantly took the bag handed to Wenxue. Although he was also confused, he knew that Shumei was a smart person. Since she asked him to carry it, there must be a reason for her to do so.
Wenxue could only let go of his hand awkwardly and lead the two upstairs with a smile.
Qingke and Danni also got out of the car and followed them stealthily.
"Keke, who is that person? Do you know him?"
Danni watched the three of them chatting and laughing, as close as a family, and felt sorry for Qingke in her heart. It was all her fault. She was always busy dating Ling Peng and forgot to help Qingke deal with this matter, leaving her in such a passive position.
"This person looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. Let me think about it."
Qing Ke began to search in his mind, searching for information related to Li Wenxue.
Danny dragged her inside and watched the three of them enter a room. She even ran to the door and climbed on it to eavesdrop for a moment, but Qing Ke stood at the corner of the stairs, lost in thought. Whether it was because the door was too soundproof or the noise inside was too quiet, Danny couldn't hear a thing and could only reluctantly walk over to Qing Ke's side.
Uncle Li was still sitting in a new rocking chair in the living room, listening to the radio, just like before.
He didn't notice Shumei and the others coming in. It wasn't until Shumei walked up to him and saw her familiar face that he sat up from the rattan chair.
“You…you…”
"Uncle Li, we haven't seen each other for just over four years. Don't you recognize me? I'm Shumei!"
"Yes, yes, Shumei, I've always wanted to find you, but I didn't know where you lived. I never dreamed that I would actually see you."
"Uncle Li, what do you want me for? Do you want me to come back and be your nanny?"
Shumei always had a friendly smile on her face. When Uncle Li wanted to get up from the rattan chair, she hurriedly put the things in her hand on the coffee table and helped Uncle Li sit down on the sofa.
