Shumei finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She walked over to Boyi, squatted down, grabbed Boyi's hand and said, "Boyi, don't be like this. I know Qianqian is dead, and you're sad, and I'm sad too. But the dead can't be resurrected. Look, you still have such a lovely and sensible son. Please, even for Youchen's sake, you have to cheer up. The children need you, and I need you too."
As Shumei spoke, she pulled Xiao Youchen next to her in front of Boyi, trying to use Xiao Youchen to wake Boyi up.
Boyi's eyes were dazed and he glanced at Xiao Youchen with a squint.
Little Youchen called out sensibly, "Dad!"
Boyi's expression was very blank. He didn't react at all. He turned his head away, took out some money from his pocket, and slapped it on the counter, "Boss, bring some wine."
"Bo Yi, don't go too far and put on airs with me! You reek of alcohol and are acting crazy here. I think you've come to the wrong place. You're newlyweds, why are you drinking so early in the morning? Go back as fast as you can."
Wen Dazui was very angry when she saw him like this. Not only did he disturb her sweet dream so early in the morning, but he was also yelling at her and ordering her around.
Boyi didn't buy her trick at all, and slammed the table and shouted, "Wine, bring me some wine."
Wen Dazui was furious, his eyes wide open. He quickly walked up to Boyi, put his hands on his hips, pointed at Boyi and said angrily, "We don't have any wine, and even if we did, we wouldn't sell it to you. Shumei, just take care of it! He's pretty drunk, take him back and let him sober up, and don't make a scene here."
Shumei also felt quite embarrassed. She had come to someone else's house so early in the morning to cause trouble. Although they were relatives, as the saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly! No one would feel comfortable in her place.
With an embarrassed expression on her face, she stood up and grabbed Boyi's arm, trying to pull him away.
"Bo Yi, let's go home."
Boyi shook off Shumei's hand, stumbled towards the counter, took a bottle of wine from the shelf, twisted it hard, tilted his head back and gulped down half a bottle.
He stumbled over to the phone with the bottle in hand and continued to sit on the stool.
In the past, if Boyi drank half a bottle of wine, he would have been drunk and unconscious in less than half an incense stick of time. But now, Boyi's alcohol tolerance has improved. He can drink so quickly and still sit still.
"This—you—"
Wen Dazui was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Shumei was even more embarrassed. She didn't think they could kidnap Boyi. If his heart was really here, he would come back even if they kidnapped him.
She walked up to Wen Dazui and said in a pleading tone, "Sister Huimei, look at him like this, I can't do anything. He just wants to wait for a call and won't bother anyone else. Just let him wait here! Maybe this way, he will feel better."
When Shumei saw Boyi like this, she felt the same way.
"So when will the call come?"
"This—should be quick."
Wen Dazui looked at the dazed Boyi, then at Shumei's sad face. She sighed, got up and prepared breakfast, which was considered as her agreement.
Shumei stood there, looking at the distraught Boyi, not knowing what to do. She had no choice but to try her best to cooperate with him.
As the saying goes, a wife follows her husband, in this situation, she must accompany Boyi and help him through the difficult times.
The two children looked at her and Boyi with innocent eyes. She sighed helplessly. She didn't know how to explain such a complicated matter to the two children.
She also seemed to have lost her soul, standing stupidly beside Boyi, accompanying him as he answered the phone.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Xiao Shuangning's words disrupted Shumei's original plan to accompany Boyi to the end.
Boyi can answer the phone wholeheartedly and ignore everything outside, but she can't, because she still has to take care of the two children.
Plus, Xiao Youchen had asked for leave and had to go to school tomorrow. Shumei was also thinking about sorting out Xiao Shuangning's schooling as soon as possible.
She still had too many things to do and really couldn't bear to wait with Boyi any longer. If she collapsed, then this family would no longer exist.
"Okay, Mom will take you home now and make breakfast for you." After she finished speaking to the two children, she turned around and instructed Boyi. Although she knew that Boyi might not be able to listen to her at all, she still had to say it.
"Boyi, drink less. If you get drunk and miss the call, it will be more trouble than good. I'll take the children back first. Remember to discuss anything with me. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Don't treat me as an outsider. We are a family now."
Boyi still looked half dead, lying on the table, holding the landline with both hands, as if he was afraid that the phone would run away.
Shumei shook her head helplessly, holding a child in each hand, and walked out of the storage room.
"Sister Huimei, I'm going to take the kids back first. I'll trouble you to help take care of Boyi."
Before leaving, Shumei did not forget to inform Wen Dazui. She already felt guilty enough about Boyi's behavior. If she left without saying a word, she would not be able to face Wen Dazui's house again in the future.
Shumei stopped and waited for Wen Dazui to reply.
Wen Dazui walked to the door with a sweet potato and a kitchen knife, saying, "Alright, go ahead and do your thing. He's a grown man, nothing will happen to him. Besides, I'm here with him, so he can't do anything he wants!"
Wen Dazui said this with a relaxed and confident look on his face.
She is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She was obviously furious just now, but now she doesn't think Boyi is troublesome.
"Then I'll trouble Sister Huimei!"
Shumei politely responded to Wen Dazui again and took her two children home. There was still a lot of food left over from the banquet yesterday, so she heated up some money and cooked some porridge for the children.
