Chapter 490: Butterfly - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Lin Qing blinked and looked at Cen Xi. Did she understand correctly just now?
Cen Xi smiled at her.
Lin's mother was still complaining, "That's fine, I told him I should learn Go, but he gave me the cold shoulder again."
Lin's mother felt so wronged. "I just thought that after I finish my studies, I can play chess with him at home. But he actually gave me the cold shoulder..."
"It's his fault. I will definitely tell him off when he comes back!" When Lin Qing heard this, she felt that her father had indeed done something wrong. How could he be so disrespectful to her mother?
Cen Xi's eyes flickered. He thought he might understand his father-in-law's thoughts. He was just jealous. Not only that, he also misunderstood his mother-in-law's thoughts.
He probably thought that his mother-in-law admired the strange old man, so he felt jealous. Plus, when his mother-in-law said she wanted to learn Go, he thought she wanted to learn from the old man, so he became even more jealous, which led to this incident!
After a while, Lin Qing finally calmed her mother down, "Mom, wait a minute, I'll go teach my dad a lesson!"
"Then you have to teach him a lesson!"
"Yeah, I will!"
Cen Xi watched Lin Qing flash out of the house and quickly disappear into the yard. He couldn't help but worry in his heart, wondering if his wife had misunderstood him.
If Lin Qing knew what he was thinking, she would probably slap him in the face. How could she misunderstand such an obvious thing?
At this moment, Father Lin was showing off his chessboard to every old man, whether he knew him or not!
Father Lin was indeed overwhelmed by jealousy at first, but after going out in the cold wind for a while, his jealousy was somewhat dissipated and he felt more sweet in his heart.
He held the chessboard and chess pieces in his arms and walked towards the Front Street Park. He walked with a carefree gait and anyone who asked could tell that he was radiating a happy mood.
"Hey! Lao Wang, how did you know that my wife gave me a set of Go?"
Lao Wang blinked: “???” What what?
"What did you say? Go?" The old man named Lao Wang focused his attention on the chessboard in his hand.
"Yes, that's right, it's Go. Look, this is a gift from my wife. It's a special gift from her."
“…”
Lao Wang felt that he, an elderly widower, had suffered 10,000 points of critical hit.
Wife? You are the only one who has it!
Well! This old man who lost his wife in old age doesn't have it!
Envy! Jealousy!
Father Lin seemed to sense it, and his smile became even more smug.
Seeing him like this, Old Wang was so angry that he gritted his teeth several times!
Father Lin didn't care at all. After showing off to Old Wang, he started showing off to the next old man.
The whole afternoon, he never let go of the chessboard in his hand, nor did he take it out to use it. He just kept showing it off to others over and over again.
When Lin Qing arrived at the Front Street Park, he heard the voice of Lin's father before he even got close to it. He sounded very happy.
Looking up, she saw her old father hovering among them like a butterfly.
When she got closer, she actually saw expressions of despair on the faces of a group of old men.
Lin Qing blinked: e...
She hadn't noticed it just now, but now she realized that it seemed that the only voice in this area was her old father's.
Lin Qing was a little curious, so he didn't say anything for a while and just listened for a while.
After listening to this, Lin Qing was like this, ('') My old man, you are really something!!!
"Cough cough!" Lin Qing coughed lightly.
The next second, a group of old men looked over eagerly: Savior! Why did you come just now? Hurry up, ask your father to take him back!
Lin Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
"Nannan!" Father Lin looked at Lin Qing in surprise, "Did your mother ask you to call me home for dinner?"
Lin Qing glanced at the group of old men and felt that their defenses were really broken. She actually saw a sense of brokenness in them...
Lin Qing suddenly felt a little chilly and shook his head quickly, trying to get the scene out of his mind.
Forget it, she should just take her old father away as soon as possible!
"Dad, our dinner will be ready soon. Have you finished playing chess?"
"It's over, it's over." Although he hadn't made a single move this afternoon, he walked away holding the chessboard, "Let's go now!"
As soon as they left, the group of old men breathed a sigh of relief.
They really didn't expect that Old Lin, who looked quiet and honest on weekdays, could be as talkative as those old women!
To be honest, they are really jealous.
Just after Lin Qing and Lin's father passed away, someone said sourly: "Old Lin is so lucky! His daughters are filial and obedient, and his wife thinks of him like this." He is truly unique among this group of old men.
"That's right!"
…
Lin Qing and Lin's father were walking on the way home. Lin's father was still excited and was still showing off, but the target was now Lin Qing, his daughter.
"Hehe! My dear, look, your mother is so nice to me..."
Lin Qing listened silently and glanced at him obscurely: Haha! So, you know that the good daughter-in-law in your mouth is still angry with you now?
Father Lin just caught her gaze and said, "No, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Qing felt helpless and amused, "Haha! Well, Dad, my mom is still mad at you!"
"Ah? Why?" Father Lin had completely forgotten about her disdainful behavior before she left the house.
Lin Qing told the truth. Father Lin was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute him. However, he recalled it the next second and it seemed that... this scene really happened. "I... I..." He finally lowered his head in despair, "I was wrong in this matter."
Father Lin immediately remembered why he had given Lin Qing such a cold shoulder, and complained to Lin Qing, "But, but, your mother actually said she wanted to learn Go from that old man!"
Lin Qing's face was full of speechlessness. "Dad, my mom's idea is, maybe you go learn from the old man, and then come back to teach her after you're done; or maybe you two go learn from the old man together?"
Father Lin blinked in confusion. Is this what you mean?
Lin Qing: ...
What else?
Father Lin instantly realized that he was extremely wrong. The next second, he walked quickly, wanting to go back quickly to apologize to his wife and ask for forgiveness!
Lin Qing shook his head helplessly behind him.
