Just as they were about to enter the house, Ji Yuanyuan turned back to look.
She saw her second uncle standing at the door, and the people passing by all looked over curiously.
However, Second Uncle turned a deaf ear to these gazes as if he did not see them at all.
This stop lasted the entire afternoon.
It was December, and it was very cold outside. Li Yong was wearing a suit, which didnât keep him warm.
After an afternoon, his face was already pale from the cold.
Xiao Qi came back from outside and said, âMaster, do you want to send some clothes to her second uncle? I saw he shivered from the cold, and his face is pale. Donât let him get sick from the cold!â
Hearing this, Qin Junshan quickly stopped him, âDonât. If you go now, all his previous efforts will be in vain.â
Li Yong will have to suffer the cold in front of the door for nothing.
Xiao Qi sighed and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After Ji Yuanyuan and the other two finished their meal at Qin Junshanâs place, Qin Junshan then instructed Gong Wenbai to drive them home.
As she passed by Qin Xiaominâs house, Ji Yuanyuan saw through the car window that Li Yong was still standing at the door with flowers in his arms.
It was just that his straight back was now hunched.
Ji Ziâang was about to roll down the car window to talk to Li Yong when Ji Yuanyuan grabbed his hand and whispered, âDonât cause any more trouble.â
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziâang were talking, so they missed Li Yongâs expression.
He looked at the car and moved his mouth as if he had something to say.
The car quickly drove away from the Qin familyâs villa. Ji Ziâang turned around and looked at Li Yong through the back glass.âSecond Uncle is so pitiful!â
Gong Wenbai joked with him. âIf you want to get married, you must suffer a little. You have to be like this in the future.â
The car turned a corner, and Li Yong was no longer in sight.
Ji Ziâang sat down and said arrogantly, âWouldnât it be fine if I donât get married?â
Gong Wenbai laughed out loud when he heard that.
Ji Ziâang looked at him suspiciously.
Gong Wenbai deliberately said, âYes, youâre right. When we grow up, if we donât get married, we wonât suffer. We canât be as stupid as your second uncle!â
Ji Ziâang did not hear the teasing in Gong Wenbaiâs words and nodded seriously. âYes, thatâs right!â
Gong Wenbai shook his head and sent the three children to the shop.
Before he left, he naturally told Li Xu about how Li Yong had been standing outside Qin Xiaominâs house.
Li Xu understood the meaning of Li Yongâs actions. Although her heart ached a little, she still endured it and didnât care about this matter.
Li Yong didnât come back until 11 pm. Li Xu couldnât sit still anymore.
She whispered to Zhang Kun, âDid something happen? No, I have to go and take a look!â
Zhang Kun was also a little worried, so he also put on his clothes.
After changing her clothes, Li Xu quietly went to the room next door to take a look.
Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep. She quietly changed her shoes and went out with Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun drove her to the Qin familyâs house in the cold wind.
However, Li Yong was nowhere to be seen when they finally arrived at Qin Xiaominâs house.
âHe canât have gone home, right?â Li Xu muttered.
The home she was referring to was her old home in the countryside.
However, even if he was leaving, he should have at least told her at the store.
Or was he in the Qin familyâs house now?
The lights in the Qin familyâs house were still on. She stood at the door, a little hesitant.
After a long while, Li Xu couldnât care less about her face. She went forward and pressed the doorbell of Qin Xiaominâs house.
Very quickly, someone came over to open the door.
It was Qin Zhiye.
When he saw Li Xu, he twitched his lips awkwardly. âYouâre looking for Li Yong, right?â
âYou know where he went?â Li Xuâs eyes lit up.
âJie sent him to the hospital. I was thinking of calling you,â Qin Zhiye said.
When Li Xu heard this, her expression immediately became nervous. âHospital? What was wrong with him? Which hospital?â
Qin Zhiye hesitated for a moment before saying, âI donât know yet. He just left!â As he was talking, Niu Allan called him from inside, âThereâs a call!â
Qin Zhiyeâs eyes immediately lit up, and said, âIt should be a call from Xiaojie. Please wait a moment!â
He entered the house and picked up the phone. âOkay, okay, I know. Itâll be hard on you tonight. Okay, I got it!â
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhiye immediately went outside and said to Li Xu, âHeâs on the second floor of the Peopleâs Hospital. Itâs nothing serious. He just stood for too long and suffered from insufficient blood supply to his brain. Heâll be fine after some rest.â
Li Xu secretly scolded Li Yong for being a fool. She thanked Qin Zhiye and quickly left the villa with Zhang Kun.
Qin Zhiye stood at the door and looked in the direction that Li Xu had left. He sighed faintly.
Back in the living room, Qin Zhiye sat down next to Niu Allan.
It was almost midnight, but neither of them had any intention of going to bed.
After a long time, Qin Zhiye said, âThe children are all grown up. We canât do everything according to our ideas. Sometimes, itâs better to let go! No matter if the road ahead is flat or bumpy, they will only know the result after they have walked it themselves.â
Niu Ailan looked at the coffee table and was a little lost in thought.
âThe child is already so big. If we delay it any longer, will we hold the wedding while sheâs pregnant? Wouldnât that be a joke?â
Niu Ailan sneered, âArenât we being laughed at now? She got pregnant before marriage, and the Father is a farmer who didnât even go to college. If our relatives knew about this, they would laugh so hard that their teeth would fall off.â
âWe donât live our lives for the sake of othersâ opinions. Xiaomin liked him, so wouldnât it be fine as long as she could be happy after marrying him? In any case, I donât expect the child to have any great achievements or bring honor to my ancestors. Iâm satisfied as long as theyâre happy.â
Niu Ailan sneered, âWhen did I expect the children to bring honor to their ancestors? Iâve been through this. As the saying goes, a poor couple will suffer all troubles. Xiaomin doesnât care now. But when she gets married, sheâll know that all her living habits will be downgraded, and everything she uses will be replaced with cheap goods.â
She kept saying she didnât love money and she could live a hard life.
However, look at what she was eating, wearing, and using now. Which of them didnât cost money?
âBut what can you do now? As parents, we could never be too hard on our children. This was because parentsâ feelings for their children would always be deeper than their childrenâs feelings for their parents. Can you win against her? This time, she got pregnant before marriage. Who knew what she could do next time! Donât you understand your own daughter?â
Niu Ailan quietly listened to Qin Zhiyeâs words. After a while, she took a tissue from the coffee table and wiped the corners of her eyes.
After a long silence, Qin Zhiye saw that Niu Ailan had no intention of moving, so he urged her, âAlright, donât think about it anymore. Go back to the room and sleep!â
Niu Ailan did not move. âYou can go back to sleep first. I want to be alone for a while.â
Qin Zhiye didnât speak. He just sighed, got up from the sofa, and walked to the bedroom..
