Chapter 369: Finding Trouble - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Under the watchful eyes of his father, Cen Xi called another compound and this time he finally found the person.
"Nannan!" Lin's mother shouted hurriedly after answering the phone.
"Mom, it's me."
"Xiao Cen?"
"right!"
"Where's Nannan?"
"Qingqing went out for a walk with my mom."
"Oh!" Mother Lin felt a little relieved after hearing this.
From Cen Xi's words, one can tell that her daughter and her mother-in-law should get along well, otherwise the mother-in-law wouldn't be in such a hurry to take her out to introduce her so soon after arriving.
"Did you arrive yesterday?" Lin's mother asked what she wanted to know more.
Father Cen looked at him from the side and gave him a harsh look, saying that he was such a worry.
Cen Xi was a little helpless, but he still explained to Lin's mother, "Mom, we were a little tired after we arrived yesterday, and forgot about the phone call."
"Oh! Is that so? Okay, as long as there's no problem on your end."
When they didn't call back yesterday, her heart was pounding and she always felt uneasy. Now that the call finally came, she can finally feel relieved.
"Okay! Let's not talk for now. Just take care of yourself." After saying that, Lin's mother hung up the phone immediately.
Father Lin at the side asked anxiously: "Eh? I haven't said anything yet! Why did he hang up?"
"Your daughter was dragged out by her mother-in-law." Lin's mother just said this lightly.
"Oh!" Father Lin stopped criticizing instantly.
Since his ladies were not around, he had nothing to say.
"Did they just tell me why they didn't call yesterday?"
"You're so tired! I can imagine that you must have been uncomfortable on the train for the past two days." Mother Lin frowned again when she said this.
It’s not easy to stay on the train, and it will take two days to get back! What should I do?
"Is the girl okay?" Father Lin kept worrying about his daughter's poor health, and he didn't know if the train ride would be too slow.
Mother Lin shook her head. “It shouldn’t be a big problem, right? She was dragged out by her mother-in-law to meet people the next day. She definitely won’t look sick.” Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing to take her out.
"Yeah." Father Lin quite agreed with this point of view.
…
Lin Qing followed Mother Cen to meet people all morning and did not return until lunchtime.
"Mom, where did you go today?" His wife looked very tired!
"I didn't go anywhere. I just wandered around this family compound and took your wife to meet a few people."
Cen Xi looked at Lin Qing: Is this the case?
Lin Qing nodded. It was exactly as Mother Cen said. It was just a little tiring!
After Cen Xi confirmed again that nothing was wrong, he let the matter go and talked about the phone call.
Lin Qing patted his forehead in frustration and said, "I forgot that, too."
"No hurry, no hurry. I just told them on the phone."
"That's good, that's good!" Lin Qing felt relieved.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first. The phone is in the study, Qingqing. You can use it anytime if you need it." Father Cen said directly from the side.
"Okay!" Lin Qingming was stunned, but he quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Dad!"
After finishing his meal, Lin Qing hurried to the study and made a phone call to report his safety to his parents again. The two sides did not talk much and hung up the phone after confirming that he was safe.
Lin Qing came out of the study and went downstairs to see an aunt whom he had not seen in the morning sitting next to Cen's mother, and a girl who was about his own age next to her.
Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, so what is the situation now?
Where is Cen Xi?
When she made the call just now, Cen Xi and Cen's father left the room, thinking that they might have some private conversation.
Where are they now?
"Qingqing, are you done with the call?" Mother Cen asked when she saw Lin Qing coming over.
"That's all." Lin Qing replied with a smile.
An old man and a young man standing by were staring at Lin Qing without blinking. They had learned from others this morning that Lin Qing had an extraordinary appearance.
But isn’t this so beautiful?
The old man and the young were completely stunned.
"Come here, let me introduce them to you! These two are the wife and daughter of Counselor Sun who lives across from our house. You can just call her Auntie Sun, and this one is Sun Yuanyuan."
"Auntie Sun, Sun Yuanyuan, hello!"
"Hello!" Sun's mother and Sun Yuanyuan shook their heads gently and came to their senses.
"Oh, I heard outside that you got a beautiful daughter-in-law! Today I see that she is indeed as good as her reputation!"
"Hahaha! That's right, our Qingqing is really good." Mother Cen directly pulled Lin Qing to sit down.
"By the way, your second son has been married for two years, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just..." Aunt Sun said as she looked Lin Qing up and down again.
Lin Qing felt a little puzzled. It seemed like this person was here to cause trouble!
She looked at the girl next to her again. Tsk, is she here to snatch the man from her?
But she has been married for two years. Isn't it too late to snatch a man now?
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating? You're usually not very cheerful!" Mother Cen couldn't stand her being like this.
Auntie Sun felt that Mother Cen was looking down on her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "We've been married for two years, and there's still no sign of pregnancy. There won't be any problems with your daughter-in-law, right?"
Mother Cen's face darkened. "Our second son and his wife are still young. Why are they so anxious to have a child?"
"Really?" Aunt Sun showed a look of disbelief. "Ah~ If you ask me, if you had chosen our Yuanyuan, you two might have a baby crawling on the ground now!"
Mother Cen's face was so dark that it looked like water was dripping from it. Lin Qing, who was watching from the side, was a little amused by her anger.
Who are these people?
"Auntie Sun! What do you mean? Do you want me to divorce Cen Xi? And then let your daughter marry me?"
"Why don't you abdicate and let someone else take over if you can't have a child yourself?"
"That's enough. Do you think my Cen Xi is a cat or a dog? Will he accept anything no matter who gives it to him?" Mother Cen got angry.
Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment, and Sun Yuanyuan was so frightened that she shrank her neck and dared not say a word.
"We don't need you to point fingers at our family affairs. Get out of our house right now!"
Aunt Sun was still somewhat unwilling to accept the result. If her son could get close to the position of brigade commander, he would be able to have a more stable career in the army.
"She's Aunt Cen! Can you please think about it?"
"Get lost! Don't you see what your daughter looks like? She is not even as good as a finger of our Qingqing. How dare you say these things?" Mother Cen said loudly.
Lin Qing felt a little embarrassed by what she said, but she left the whole process to Mother Cen and said nothing.
…
In the end, Mother Cen simply drove the mother and daughter of the Sun family out.
