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 didn’t keep him warm.
After an afternoon, his face was already pale from the cold.
Xiao Qi came back from outside and said, “Master, do you want to send some clothes to her second uncle? I saw he shivered from the cold, and his face is pale. Don’t let him get sick from the cold!”
Hearing this, Qin Junshan quickly stopped him, “Don’t. If you go now, all his previous efforts will be in vain.”
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 Junshan’s place, Qin Junshan then instructed Gong Wenbai to drive them home.
As she passed by Qin Xiaomin’s 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 Zi’ang was about to roll down the car window to talk to Li Yong when Ji Yuanyuan grabbed his hand and whispered, “Don’t cause any more trouble.”
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang were talking, so they missed Li Yong’s 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 family’s villa. Ji Zi”ang turned around and looked at Li Yong through the back glass.”Second Uncle is so pitiful!”
Gong Wenbai joked with him. “If you want to get married, you must suffer a little. You have to be like this in the future.”
The car turned a corner, and Li Yong was no longer in sight.
Ji Zi’ang sat down and said arrogantly, “Wouldn’t it be fine if I don’t get married?”
Gong Wenbai laughed out loud when he heard that.
Ji Zi’ang looked at him suspiciously.
Gong Wenbai deliberately said, “Yes, you’re right. When we grow up, if we don’t get married, we won’t suffer. We can’t be as stupid as your second uncle!”
Ji Zi’ang did not hear the teasing in Gong Wenbai’s words and nodded seriously. “Yes, that’s right!”
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 Xiaomin’s house.
Li Xu understood the meaning of Li Yong’s actions. Although her heart ached a little, she still endured it and didn’t care about this matter.
Li Yong didn’t come back until 11 pm. Li Xu couldn’t sit still anymore.
She whispered to Zhang Kun, “Did something happen? No, I have to go and take a look!”
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 family’s house in the cold wind.
However, Li Yong was nowhere to be seen when they finally arrived at Qin Xiaomin’s house.
“He can’t have gone home, right?” 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 family’s house now?
The lights in the Qin family’s house were still on. She stood at the door, a little hesitant.
After a long while, Li Xu couldn’t care less about her face. She went forward and pressed the doorbell of Qin Xiaomin’s house.
Very quickly, someone came over to open the door.
It was Qin Zhiye.
When he saw Li Xu, he twitched his lips awkwardly. “You’re looking for Li Yong, right?”
“You know where he went?” Li Xu’s eyes lit up.
“Jie sent him to the hospital. I was thinking of calling you,” Qin Zhiye said.
When Li Xu heard this, her expression immediately became nervous. “Hospital? What was wrong with him? Which hospital?”
Qin Zhiye hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t know yet. He just left!” As he was talking, Niu Allan called him from inside, “There’s a call!”
Qin Zhiye’s eyes immediately lit up, and said, “It should be a call from Xiaojie. Please wait a moment!”
He entered the house and picked up the phone. “Okay, okay, I know. It’ll be hard on you tonight. Okay, I got it!”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhiye immediately went outside and said to Li Xu, “He’s on the second floor of the People’s Hospital. It’s nothing serious. He just stood for too long and suffered from insufficient blood supply to his brain. He’ll be fine after some rest.”
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, “The children are all grown up. We can’t do everything according to our ideas. Sometimes, it’s 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.”
Niu Ailan looked at the coffee table and was a little lost in thought.
“The child is already so big. If we delay it any longer, will we hold the wedding while she’s pregnant? Wouldn’t that be a joke?”
Niu Ailan sneered, “Aren’t we being laughed at now? She got pregnant before marriage, and the Father is a farmer who didn’t even go to college. If our relatives knew about this, they would laugh so hard that their teeth would fall off.”
“We don’t live our lives for the sake of others’ opinions. Xiaomin liked him, so wouldn’t it be fine as long as she could be happy after marrying him? In any case, I don’t expect the child to have any great achievements or bring honor to my ancestors. I’m satisfied as long as they’re happy.”
Niu Ailan sneered, “When did I expect the children to bring honor to their ancestors? I’ve been through this. As the saying goes, a poor couple will suffer all troubles. Xiaomin doesn’t care now. But when she gets married, she’ll know that all her living habits will be downgraded, and everything she uses will be replaced with cheap goods.”
She kept saying she didn’t love money and she could live a hard life.
However, look at what she was eating, wearing, and using now. Which of them didn’t cost money?
“But what can you do now? As parents, we could never be too hard on our children. This was because parents’ feelings for their children would always be deeper than their children’s feelings for their parents. Can you win against her? This time, she got pregnant before marriage. Who knew what she could do next time! Don’t you understand your own daughter?”
Niu Ailan quietly listened to Qin Zhiye’s 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, “Alright, don’t think about it anymore. Go back to the room and sleep!”
Niu Ailan did not move. “You can go back to sleep first. I want to be alone for a while.”
Qin Zhiye didn’t speak. He just sighed, got up from the sofa, and walked to the bedroom..
