Shumei stood there, watching the two children walk away until they disappeared from her sight. Xiao Youchen was a steady and prudent person, so she wasn't too worried about the two children going to town alone. The children were not only obedient and sensible, but also smart and clever, and ordinary people couldn't deceive them.
In this way, Boyi's imprisonment was no longer a mystery, and Shumei no longer had to bother to deceive her two children. Instead, she felt relieved and relaxed.
Boyi never dreamed that he would be able to see the two children in advance. When the figures of the two children came into his sight, he was surprised and at a loss. His heart was sour and his eyes were wet.
"dad!"
"dad!"
The two children's shouting in unison broke his heart. He staggered over, looked at the two children with tearful eyes through the glass, and stroked the children's familiar yet unfamiliar faces through the glass with his hands.
"Why are you here? Does mom know?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"I know, I know. We came here with mom's consent. Dad, you've lost weight and grown older." Little Youchen came back excitedly. Looking at Boyi's haggard face, he said with heartache.
Xiao Shuang looked at Boyi with tears in her eyes. After all, Boyi was not that familiar to her, but she understood that Boyi was the most important person to her mother and the biological father of Xiao Youchen, so he was also her relative.
Boyi looked at the two children carefully and smiled through his tears, "That's great, you two have grown so tall. It seems your mother has done you a good job in raising you."
"Yes! Mom is very good to us. She leaves all the good things for me and my sister, and she never spares herself from food and clothing. Dad, you must behave well and try to get out as soon as possible. Mom has been working so hard all by herself that her hair has turned white."
After hearing what Xiao Youchen said, Boyi was moved and blamed himself, with a helpless expression on his face.
He wanted to speak, but something was stuck in his throat. He felt so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say. He just nodded vigorously in response to Xiao Youchen.
"I'll be in junior high school when school starts. I'll study hard and make a lot of money to repay my mother for raising me. Dad, you too, don't let my mother down for the rest of your life. She's the best mother and the best wife in the world. You must fulfill your responsibilities."
Xiao Youchen's words made Boyi feel ashamed. He truly owed Shumei so much. Even a child knows to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude, but he... he truly regretted it...
In front of the child, he couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed...
From that day on, Shumei's family of three returned to a peaceful state. Shumei continued to work tirelessly for the family, spending her days facing the earth and the sky, letting time slip by quietly, eagerly anticipating the day of reunion.
In Qingke's living room...
Bai Meng and Shang Xin were eating around the dining table, but they didn't see Qing Ke. They felt the living room was deserted.
Bai Meng weakly picked up the food on the plate. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she slammed her chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "Lao Shang! Did you call Keke? It's been four years. How long will she finish her further studies?"
"Yes, didn't I call her every now and then, just like you said? Now she's fed up and even changed her phone number. Now we're completely out of touch!"
"What?" Bai Meng said with his eyes wide open, almost roaring.
"Why are you yelling? Keke already said she'll be back next month, next month, and you keep making me call you one after another. If it were me, I'd be annoyed to death too."
"Do you think I want to? It's all your fault. If you hadn't agreed to let her study abroad, would she have ended up like this? You know how outstanding our Coco is. Why does she need further studies? If you say so, then let her study. Why does it have to be four years? Don't you think about it? Coco is already so old. Do you really want her to be an old aunt at home for the rest of her life?"
Bai Meng chattered a lot, his saliva splashing everywhere.
Shang Xin was in no mood to continue eating after being tormented by her. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "I already told you that I'll be back next month. Can you please stop talking about the past?" After he said that, he stood up and walked towards the living room. He picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, and turned up the volume to the maximum.
His action made Bai Meng, who was already furious, even more angry. Bai Meng walked over angrily and unplugged the TV. "You just want to watch. Can you see a son-in-law on TV? Every time I discuss something with you, it's harder than climbing a mountain of knives."
"I think you're in menopause. You feel suffocated if you don't get angry for a day."
"Go away, you're in menopause!" Bai Meng grabbed the orange on the coffee table and threw it at Shang Xin who was about to go upstairs.
Shang Xin leaned to the side and nimbly blocked the flying hidden weapon, then continued walking upstairs.
"Hey! Seriously, I attended a charity gala held by the county a few days ago. Do you remember Mrs. Dong who I met at the gala?"
"Remember, what did they do to you?"
"Ouch! It's not someone who did anything to me, it's his son."
Shang Xin thought Bai Meng was daydreaming again when he heard this. He stopped and said sarcastically, "What? Don't be crazy. Do you still think you're an 18-year-old girl? Mrs. Dong's son is a young man in his twenties. He has the diploma and the talent. Why would he mess with an old and ugly woman like you?"
