Li Ying couldn't win the argument with Chen Xingling, and had no choice but to sulk by herself.
After waiting for a long time, he finally got his two sons back and immediately started complaining and making all kinds of grievances.
"Aqi, how can you let your woman be so arrogant!" Li Ying said angrily, "When I watched her before, she would never dare to do this! Now she talks back at me every time I say something, she's lazy and loves to show off - she's getting worse and worse!"
Gu Qi was too lazy to talk to her and said, "Don't interfere in what we have to do with each other. We are doing fine now."
There is no need to explain too much to others about the way he and his wife get along. Anyway, they think the current situation is good and they are satisfied with it.
As for what other people think, he doesn't want to care and is too lazy to care.
There are so many people in the world, and each person has his or her own mind and ideas. It is impossible for him or her to change the lifestyle that he or she is satisfied with because of other people's thoughts or opinions.
Even if that person is his biological mother, he doesn't necessarily have to listen.
After all, their lives are their own. It's enough for them to live comfortably and happily. How can they take into account so many things?
Li Ying felt terrible and started crying out of grievance.
"You are all grown up now, and you have all learned not to listen to me! It's okay for them, but you are the eldest in the family. How can you be so cruel as to disobey your mother like this?"
Gu Qi frowned slightly and asked, "Not listening to you is disobedience? Mom, then you have to ask other people if what you said is right? Is your concept right? If you are wrong, we still have to listen? That is foolish filial piety."
The old mother has a distorted world view, is uneducated and uncultured, has a narrow mind and is petty. If we listened to her in everything, this family would have broken up long ago!
He must be filial to his mother, and his younger brothers and sisters must also be filial to him, but filial piety does not mean that he has to obey her in everything.
Li Ying took the opportunity to get angry: "If you don't listen, your brothers and sisters will follow your example and not listen! Ah Miao ran away, and you all went to work without paying any attention to her! She is your sister! If you don't pay attention, who will?!"
"It's not that I'm ignoring her." Gu Qi explained: "Didn't I explain it to you just now? She and Chen Nantai went to Southeast Asia. We don't know where they are, but they will come back sooner or later."
"Don't know? Then go find her!" Li Ying said unreasonably, "She will come back sooner or later, so when will she come back? What if she comes back in a few years, ten years, or even decades - how can that work!"
Gu Qi shook his head: "Then there is nothing I can do."
He is a human being, not a god. How can he possibly care about what is happening thousands of miles away?
Chen Xingling explained, "There are a lot of small countries in Southeast Asia, which we call Nanyang. Without a specific location and no one to lead the way, there is no way to find it. I also said last night that going there to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The hope is really slim."
Li Ying pushed her eldest son, then pulled her youngest son, and started throwing a tantrum again.
"I don't care! Anyway, you must go and find Ah Miao! Go now! Buy me a boat ticket to go and find her tomorrow!"
Gu Qi and Gu Yi both looked helpless and advised, "Mom, calm down and stop crying."
Li Ying cried and cursed: "Do you still have any conscience?! Ah Miao is your biological sister! She disappeared, and you just looked for her - and then you didn't care about her anymore! How can you go back? You forgot your mother after you got a wife! You don't want your family anymore after you got a wife, and you don't even want your own sister!"
"Mom!" Gu Qi couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked, "We don't even know where to start looking. How do you want us to look? Do we have to look for it in every place in the country? How is that possible!"
"How can it be impossible!" Li Ying continued to make trouble: "Haven't you been abroad before? So what if it's in many countries? Just look for it one by one! You can find it eventually!"
Gu Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak.
It's really difficult to communicate with someone like my old mother. We are just not on the same frequency.
Gu Yi held his forehead and sighed, "Mom, can you please stop getting excited and let us talk to you first."
"How can we talk nicely!" Li Ying wiped her nose while crying, "Ah Miao disappeared! You spent an entire night and morning looking for her, and then you just ignored her! How can I not be excited or angry? Huh?"
Chen Xingling secretly rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I don't care, I really can't care. Do you know that there are so many countries in Southeast Asia, and most of them are unstable countries. Just the language barrier, none of us here can pass it. Can you speak Thai? Indonesian? Do you know Luzon Island? Aqi has been abroad, but he didn't go to Southeast Asia!"
Li Ying was stunned by the question and stared at her blankly.
"Um - is there anyone in Yucheng who can tell me? Go and find -"
"We don't even know which country Gu Miao is going to." Chen Xingling interrupted her and asked, "Who to find as a guide? Who to find as an interpreter? And you need a passport to apply for a visa to go abroad. We don't even know where we are going. What can we do? In addition, many Southeast Asian countries are unstable, and some are even in war. In the rainforest full of gunfire and rain of bullets, the lives of ordinary people are not worth it. If you are not a native, the risk factor is even higher, and your life may be in danger at any time."
Li Ying's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "You-you are just lying to me! You are just trying to scare me... It's definitely not true."
"It's true." Gu Qi said, "If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask some old overseas Chinese. Also, you can listen to the international news channel to see if we are lying to you."
Li Ying seemed to remember something and burst into tears with a "Wow!"
"Ah Miao! My baby! You-you said you were doing well in your own country, but you ran off to a turbulent country for what? If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore! You heartless woman! You ran away without saying a word! How can you be so cruel? I am your mother! Was it easy for me to raise you? You ran off with that second-rate guy before you even grew up. You are a shameless bitch!"
"That's enough." Gu Yi stepped forward to help her up, and whispered to comfort her: "Mom, Chen Erliuzi's cousin has an old nanny alive. I heard that they plan to go back to Yucheng to pick up the old lady after their relationship is stable. By then, even if Ah Miao and Chen Erliuzi don't come back, we will be able to find out Ah Miao's whereabouts, and it won't be difficult to find her then."
Li Ying heard a glimmer of hope and finally calmed down a little.
"Really? His thief cousin will come back? Are you sure? Then how do we know when they will come back?"
Gu Qi said calmly: "We won't look for them for now. They will definitely not come back in the short term. We will ask again at the end of the year. If it is appropriate, we can give their neighbors some money and ask them to help us keep an eye out."
"Oh oh." Li Ying urged: "Then do it quickly."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Don't worry, so as not to scare people. The people living together at the ferry are all relatives of the clan of the land. Their ancestors are from the same family, so they are very united. If you ask them for information without permission and even pay for it, they might misunderstand."
Gu Qi nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"I'll go a few more times." Chen Xingling said, "I have a local accent, so they won't get suspicious. We have to consider the actual situation when we do it, otherwise we will probably mess it up."
Gu Yi hurriedly said, "Yes, it's better for sister-in-law to go. The roads over there are a bit complicated. We don't even know the roads, how can we find people? Moreover, the elderly people don't understand what we say, and they don't even want to pay attention to us."
"Yeah." Gu Qi agreed: "It would be better for Xing'er to take care of it."
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly and whispered, "My sister-in-law and I went to look for it last night, but we got so confused by the long and winding roads. Many places over there look similar, and I couldn't remember them even after going back and forth twice."
After hearing this, Li Ying, who was standing by, no longer dared to glare at Chen Xingling, nor did she dare to dwell on the topic of who did more housework.
Gu Xuan stood quietly in the corner, watching the old woman from her fuss to her stopping, without going forward and without saying a word.
Little Tiger rubbed his shriveled stomach and asked aggrievedly, "Can we have dinner now? I'm so hungry."
"Eat quickly!"
"Okay, okay, let's eat right away!"
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
