Lin Qingping turned around and went to pick up Zhiyuan and Xiaomai from school, and then took the two children to eat roast duck.
Xiaomai was still asking her, "Aunt, what day is today? Why are we going to eat roast duck? Aunt Lin... Aunt Lin..."
Xiaomai is always like this, she would call her aunt out loud, but after that she would remember and call her Aunt Lin weakly.
Lin Qingping never corrected her and let her scream whatever she wanted. Even a little kid could be so sensitive.
Zhiyuan also looked at her expectantly.
Lin Qingping held a child in each hand, lowered his head and smiled, "It's not a special day, well, I just want to eat roast duck, so I asked you two to accompany me, okay?"
"Of course!" When it comes to eating, Zhiyuan, the glutton, becomes very happy.
Xiaomai also pursed her lips to reveal a small smile, but immediately asked, "Is my mother going too?"
"Your mother is busy today, so you can't go to dinner. You can come home with me in the evening, stay at our house, and do homework with Zhiyuan, okay?" Lin Qingping asked softly.
Xiaomai nodded and said "OK" softly, but her eyes could not hide the joy. She liked going to her aunt's house, oh no, Aunt Lin's house.
Xiaomai spent this evening quietly at Lin Qingping's house.
I did homework and read books with Zhiyuan, ate watermelon and drank mung bean soup to cool off, and then I took a bath by myself.
Xiaomai is going to sleep with Sister Zhao tonight. After taking a shower, she put on her clothes tightly to prevent the marks of beatings on her body from showing.
The next day, Lin Qingping sent Xiaomai and Zhiyuan to school as usual, and then went to school herself. In the afternoon, she met Gu Youlian in the store.
Gu Youlian saw her and lowered her head with some guilt.
Lin Qingping had actually expected this to happen.
Although she had never gotten married in her previous life, she had seen other people's entanglements and knew that divorce was usually not possible without several rounds of dragging on, and unless the couple could no longer tolerate each other, they would not be able to get a divorce.
"Pingzi, I'm sorry, I...I..." Gu Youlian was so ashamed that she was speechless.
"It's okay, I understand." Lin Qingping said.
Gu Youlian finally mustered up the courage to raise her head. "Pingzi, I really can't accept this. Du Gen and I have been through hard times, and now we finally have something to look forward to, but someone comes out of nowhere and wants to take advantage of us. Pingzi, I really can't swallow this."
Lin Qingping nodded again. Many people think this way. They have been through hardships together, and now they can no longer share the joys. How many people can remain calm?
There are many unhappy relationships between couples in this world.
"Pingzi, Dugan promised me that Lifen's baby will be aborted. As for his money, he will tell Meili that he will directly transfer it to my bank account in the future." Gu Youlian's eyes showed helplessness, but also confidence. "He also wrote a letter of guarantee that if he violates the agreement, he will give me the house and all the property when we divorce."
"That's right." Lin Qingping didn't really believe Du Gen's assurance, but Gu Youlian's decluttering would take time. No matter what, it was right to get the money in her hands, although Du Gen's income might not be just that salary and bonus.
As the two were talking, Du Gen came and stood at the door of the store, looking at the two of them. In particular, he looked at Lin Qingping with vigilance, as if he was afraid that Lin Qingping would instill some bad ideas into Gu Youlian.
Lin Qingping also looked at him and reminded Gu Youlian, "Du Gen is here."
Gu Youlian turned around and saw Du Gen waving at her, "Lianzi, let's go pick up the child."
Gu Youlian involuntarily turned back to look at Lin Qingping, with hesitation, but the joy and excitement in her eyes could not be hidden.
What else could Lin Qingping say? She smiled and said, "Go ahead. Just pick up Xiaomai. We'll pick up Zhiyuan ourselves when the time comes."
Gu Youlian went there happily, with a look of a girl's first love.
Is the joy of recovering what was lost really so intoxicating?
When Lin Qingping went to pick up Zhiyuan, Gu Youlian and Du Gen took the two children out and wanted to take them and the Du family's elders to eat roast duck.
Zhiyuan saw Lin Qingping and said hurriedly, "My mother and I are going back. We just had roast duck yesterday, so we won't go today."
Lin Qingping meant the same thing. It seemed that after she had finally driven the two elders of the Du family out, Gu Youlian had relented and let them go back.
Well, it’s better for Zhiyuan not to go.
Xiaomai looked at Zhiyuan with envy. She didn't want to eat with her grandparents, and she didn't want to go back to the home where her grandparents were.
But, she can't.
Although she was young, she could still tell that Zhiyuan was different from her. She was her parents' biological daughter and could not be so willful...
So Xiaomai went to eat Peking duck again, but it was the same restaurant, the same dish, but today it tasted bland.
But her mother seemed very happy, so, was that enough? As long as her mother was happy...
After dinner, Dugan suggested going to a movie.
The movie playing in the cinema was a love movie. When Dugan's parents heard about it, they decided not to go and wanted to take Xiaomai back with them.
When Xiaomai heard this, her face changed, turning pale and terrified, and she subconsciously grabbed Gu Youlian's clothes tightly.
But Du Gen advocated that Xiaomai go back with her parents. He wanted to be alone with Gu Youlian and restore their relationship.
Gu Youlian's thoughts this time were the same as Dugan's, because this movie was not suitable for children.
Xiaomai watched her parents abandon her and leave, and she was as panicked as a little rabbit about to be hunted by a hunter. Her eyes were red, and she kept holding on to her mother's clothes.
Du Gen's mother pulled her hand back forcefully, "Come back with us and let your parents see it!"
Gu Youlian also smiled and said to her, "Xiaomi, come home with grandma. Your parents will bring you some delicious food when they come back."
Xiaomai didn’t want any delicious food at all. She just wanted to be with her mother and didn’t want to be apart for even a moment. However, her mother didn’t want that. She wanted to be with her father. Moreover, her mother looked really happy. She hadn’t been so happy for a long time. In the past few months, she often cried behind her back. Although she tried not to let her see it, she knew that her mother was crying...
Mom, Xiaomai also wants to make you happy, but grandpa and grandma are so scary, Xiaomai is so scared...
A tear froze in Xiaomai's eye as she watched her parents walking away. Thinking about having to face her grandparents next, she was overwhelmed with fear. She was shaking with fear, and the feeling of suffocation made it impossible for her to cry.
“Come back with us quickly, kid, why are you so disobedient!” Without Du Gen and Gu Youlian in front of her, Du Gen’s mother started to be rude. She grabbed Xiaomai’s arm and dragged her back with force, cursing, “So many eggs, milk powder and meat are fed to this damn girl every day. Look at her arm, it’s so fat!”
Xiaomai was held in Dugen's mother's hands and dragged back home like a frightened chicken.
