Finally, when we arrived at the gate of the family compound, we heard that Qiao Xinyi had taken a plane from Beijing to the provincial capital to worry about Chen Yubing, and now she had arrived home.
When he heard that Qiao Xinyi was also at home, Qiao Laiwang didn't dare to enter the staff quarters.
His fear of Qiao Xinyi was engraved into his bones and even into his genes.
As soon as he heard Qiao Xinyi's voice, he subconsciously explained why he was here.
"You're already divorced, what are you looking at? Can you look at my mom whenever you want? Don't forget that you have a wife and children at home. Don't stand here and affect my mom's reputation. If you get word that something bad about my mom out, I'll beat you up."
Qiao Laiwang was trying to explain that he had no bad intentions, but when Qiao Xinyi suddenly mentioned his wife and children, he couldn't control his emotions and started crying.
"Don't mention them to me!" Qiao Laiwang growled.
After hearing his crying and shouting, Qiao Xinyi was certain that Qiao Laiwang really knew the truth.
Qiao Laiwang cried bitterly, but Qiao Xinyi smiled with her teeth bared.
"Why can't you mention it? You have a child in your old age, it's a blessing for you, Qiao Laiwang~"
"Marrying a young and beautiful wife for the second time in middle age, and having her give birth to a son for you, this is a beautiful thing that many men dare not even dream of, but you have it and you don't even allow me to mention it. How can you be so stingy?"
Qiao Xinyi couldn't stop laughing and even applauded Qiao Laiwang.
Qiao Laiwang had been feeling miserable all day, not knowing what to do.
Hearing Qiao Xinyi's gloating expression, Qiao Laiwang suddenly raised his head and looked at her, "Did you know? When did you know? What do you know!"
He hadn't said anything yet, and hadn't mentioned anything to anyone else, but Qiao Xinyi's tone clearly sounded like she knew.
So Qiao Laiwang couldn't help but suspect that Qiao Xinyi had known about this for a long time.
"Oh, yes, I do know. I have known it for a long time. I know everything you know." Qiao Xinyi nodded repeatedly. Her words sounded like a tongue twister or a riddle, but Qiao Laiwang understood them.
"Why didn't you tell me when you knew this? You let me be deceived for so long?"
Qiao Laiwang burst into tears, "If you hadn't told me yesterday, I don't know how long I would be deceived!"
The story of Qiao Laiwang knowing the truth has to start from yesterday.
A while ago, the cerebral palsy son of Dou Cuifang's cousin died. His cousin's family believed in returning to one's roots, so they cremated the child in the provincial capital, and then the family took the child's ashes back to their hometown for burial. The child's funeral was also handled in their hometown.
Dou Cuifang said that she would take this opportunity to bring the child back to her parents' home to see him, so she took the child and her cousin's family back home.
Qiao Laiwang said he wanted to take a leave to help his cousin's family with the funeral arrangements for his nephew, and also said he wanted to accompany his wife and children back to his father-in-law's house.
But his parents didn't let him, saying it wouldn't affect his work, and Qiao Laiwang wasn't sincere in wanting to help, so when his parents said no, he didn't insist.
This family would stay back for half a month each time, and before they came back, Qiao Laiwang would come over to help clean the place.
Dou Cuifang said that her cousin had just lost his son, so she took her son to stay at her cousin's house for a while. She said that her cousin loved her son very much, so she had to let her son accompany her cousin and his wife to comfort them.
Since the child was born, Dou Cuifang's cousin and his wife have been very kind to the child. It is no exaggeration to say that they treat him as their own child.
Even Dou Cuifang's confinement was done by her cousin's wife. The two wives treated the child like the apple of their eye, and every time they held the child, they would call him "my dearest".
It was also because of this that Qiao Laiwang didn't think much about it when Dou Cuifang said she wanted to take the children to live with her cousin and his wife.
Yesterday, after work, Qiao Laiwang went to his cousin's house to visit his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, he met his cousin who came to his hometown. Qiao Laiwang thought he was a warm-hearted person, so as soon as he entered the door, he said he would help his cousin and his wife cook to entertain the guests.
As a result, my cousin and his wife hurriedly said that they would take their relatives to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. They and their wives took Dou Cuifang and the children with them, but they did not call Qiao Laiwang who was already standing there waiting.
Qiao Laiwang felt a little uncomfortable at the time, but since his family went out with a large group of people and no one asked him to go, he was embarrassed to go with them.
After 巸 left, he sulked while washing his son's clothes that he had not had time to wash.
The guests peeled melon seeds all over the floor, and Qiao Laiwang swept the floor at home.
After finishing the work, I was so hungry that I went straight into my mother's kitchen to cook. I planned to wait for my wife and children to come back after dinner and take them home.
But unexpectedly, because of this delay, Qiao Laiwang hadn't even had his meal yet, and one of his cousins, who had gone to the state-owned restaurant with his cousin, came back angrily.
As soon as the cousin came in, she rushed into the main room to get her luggage. Qiao Laiwang came out from the kitchen when he heard the noise. He asked her why she came back suddenly.
"My cousin is now a rich man in the provincial capital. I can't afford to eat his food! I'm afraid I'll get indigestion! He's rich now, how can he look down on us poor relatives who helped him in the past!" The cousin said in an aggressive tone, and after she answered, she picked up her luggage and prepared to leave.
When they were at the door, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Qiao Laiwang, asking him, "Are you Dou Cuifang's boyfriend? My cousin and his wife are not at home, why are you still here?"
"Yes, I plan to wait for my cousin to come back and tell him and his wife that I want to take Cuifang and her son back to live with me." Qiao Laiwang explained, "My cousin and his wife's son is gone, and they were not in a good condition after they came back. Cuifang loves her cousin and his wife, so she brought her child to live here for a few days, so that the child can accompany his uncle and aunt."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Qiao Laiwang said, the cousin was surprised and asked, "You said my cousin is Dou Cuifang's cousin?"
Seeing Qiao Laiwang nodded, my cousin burst out laughing.
"Anyway, my cousin and his wife don't care about poor relatives like us, so I'm not afraid to tell you the truth." The cousin snorted, "Looking through our family tree back to our grandfather's generation, there is no relative with the surname Dou! Even if our family was executed before, no one with the surname Dou could be found!"
"Dou Cuifang is not my cousin's sister, I am! I'm telling you for the record, Dou Cuifang is my cousin's mistress! Do you know what mistress means?"
"My cousin and Dou Cuifang's story is in our hometown. People who know my cousin basically know about it. If you don't believe it, go back to our hometown and listen. If I'm talking nonsense, I'm a bad mouth!"
"I'll tell you the truth. When my nephew was having his funeral in his hometown, my cousin secretly went to the ancestral tomb with the little one in his arms to recognize his ancestors. As soon as we relatives saw the child's appearance, we knew that it was Dou Cuifang who gave birth to my cousin."
"The son my cousin gave birth to is disabled and stupid. She couldn't give birth to another son, so she had been waiting for another woman to give birth to a healthy son for my cousin. Then she would take the son home and let him recognize her as his mother and continue the family line for my cousin."
Before meeting Qiao Laiwang, people in his hometown were still wondering how Dou Cuifang had managed to give birth to the child safely in the city.
It was only after the cousin met Qiao Laiwang that she realized that Dou Cuifang had found a sucker.
