Chapter 278 Don’t Pretend
Just after breakfast, Hu Weidong came to the door. He was wearing work clothes and holding two bottles of wine in his hands.
When Qiu Huoming opened the door, he showed a humble expression, "I drank too much yesterday and spoke rashly. I came here today to apologize to my parents."
What he said was very pleasant.
In the yard, Qiu Hongling, who was playing with Xiaobao, tightened her grip. Chen Suniang came out of the kitchen and whispered to her, "Give me the child, and go talk to him."
Qiu Hongling nodded, Chen Suniang wiped her hands and took Xiaobao away.
Upon hearing this, the younger sister hurried out from the living room. She stood in front of her older sister, blocking her with her small body.
Qiu Hongling, who was a little nervous just now, relaxed a little. Even her younger sister could be so brave, so what was she afraid of?
She smiled self-deprecatingly and reached out to tidy up the messy hair on her temples, "Huo Ming, let him in."
Qiu Huoming then made way for him and said, "Take the things back after a while. Drinking will delay things."
Hu Weidong smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, you should keep it." Seeing that Qiu Huoming didn't respond, he simply took the wine and put it in the yard. Then he looked at Qiu Hongling with a friendly face.
"I don't agree. You just dislike my mother. Why have you become so realistic?"
"Weidong, I'm telling the truth. Let's not meet each other these few days. When the Civil Affairs Bureau opens, we'll get the divorce certificate. You're in such good condition, you won't have to worry about your next marriage."
After Qiu Huoming opened his hand, he grabbed his collar and pulled him out, "If you dare to do that, I won't let you leave my house."
Qiu Huoming whispered, "Well done, it's my turn, let me defend first."
Qiu Huoming has always been humble and polite in the compound. He is also the first college student from the compound. He has not only been in newspapers but also on TV. The compound is proud of him. At this moment, seeing him grabbing his brother-in-law's collar with a dark face, she immediately believed what her younger sister said 100%.
Qiu Huoming leaned against the wall, and the conversation in the room came clearly into his ears.
"Huo Ming, I'm just angry. I haven't even started yet. Please persuade your sister. We are all family..."
Hu Weidong's face flushed red.
Qiu Hongling sat on the edge of the bed with her head down and thought for a while. Finally, she made up her mind. She looked up at Hu Weidong and said, "I've made up my mind. Let's get a divorce. I'll take care of Xiaobao. His last name is still Hu. If you want to see him, come anytime."
This slap was not a big deal, but it was a loss of face. Hu Weidong's face was blue and red, and he yelled: "This is a family matter..."
Hu Weidong came early in the morning and the courtyard gate was open. During the quarrel, several neighbors heard the noise and came over.
"Where's Xiaobao? I haven't held him since yesterday."
Qiu Huoming slowly walked to her door, but did not go in. Instead, he leaned against the wall, basking in the sun.
"Don't regret it." Hu Weidong pushed the chair away and stood up. "I will take Xiaobao away today."
He turned around and walked out with Qiu Jianshe.
"Impossible!" Hu Weidong's voice suddenly rose an octave.
The eldest sister was washing clothes in the bathroom. She stuck her head out and looked towards the yard.
"Xiaobao is still breastfeeding. If you take him away, what will he eat?"
"Don't go too far!" Hu Weidong struggled to break free, but found that he couldn't pull it apart. He looked at the tall and strong Qiu Huoming and became intimidated for a moment.
Qiu Hongling didn't avoid his gaze. She stared at Hu Weidong's fierce eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive, and nodded, "If you say so, then so. This time, I'm serious about divorce."
Chen Suniang was holding Xiaobao, walking back and forth in the living room. Qiu Jianshe walked to the door with a newspaper, "Suniang, how about I go and take a look?"
Chen Suniang stuffed Xiaobao into her eldest sister's hands.
"You call me uncle, and I will beat you to teach you how to behave."
Hu Weidong was holding the net bag when his collar broke. He stood there at a loss for a moment.
"Weidong, I have something to tell you..." Qiu Hongling pursed her lips, a hint of coldness appearing on her gentle face.
The younger sister stood at the door, not knowing whether she should follow in. She looked up at Qiu Huoming.
"What to eat? He eats whatever we eat. How can he starve to death?"
"Come to our compound to beat someone up! Even if it's our daughter-in-law, that's not allowed. Hongling grew up in our care, how dare you hit her!" An old uncle walked over quickly and slapped Hu Weidong on the head, making him a little dazed.
The younger sister had already stood up. She walked over quickly and said, "Who are we family members? You still want to beat my sister in my house?"
Hu Weidong felt a little flustered for no reason. He took a step forward and said, "Let's go back to the house and talk."
The younger sister was well versed in the local conditions and habits of the compound, so she exaggerated the incident and exaggerated the fact that Hu Weidong was going to beat someone up at the Qiu family.
He looked around, suppressed his anger, and lowered his voice, "Hongling, I did say something yesterday. Look, I came here early in the morning to apologize. Don't keep holding on to a mistake... Women should also be more virtuous..."
The younger sister breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the corner of the yard, dragged a small stool and sat down, her eyes still fixed on her elder sister's door.
Qiu Hongling nodded, and the two of them entered the cabin. Hu Weidong reached out to close the door, but Qiu Hongling stopped him, "Leave the door open, or my parents will worry."
"Oh, okay." Hu Weidong rubbed his hands, pulled a chair and sat down.
Qiu Hongling stood up and said, "You don't care about Xiaobao's health, but I do. Since you don't agree, let's sue him."
Chen Suniang shook her head. "Wait, let them talk it out first."
Hu Weidong cursed, "You bitch!" He raised his hand and was about to hit Qiu Hongling in the face, but as soon as his hand was raised, it was blocked by a strong force.
Qiu Huoming dragged him out of the yard, then let go of his hand. The younger sister took the wine he brought and stuffed it back into Hu Weidong's hand, "We don't want your things!"
Hu Weidong sneered, "Are you kidding? You said divorce is coming?"
"I don't let go? I'm not virtuous?" Qiu Hongling let out a long sigh. She looked at the man in front of her who was speaking so confidently. The anger in her heart surged up, and then this emotion gradually subsided. She found that she actually didn't care about the other party's words that usually hurt her.
She looked at Hu Weidong with red eyes and said, "Weidong, go back and deal with the divorce. You are a grown man, don't dither. You know your family situation better than anyone else."
"I won't talk about the hardships our Hong Ling has gone through. Even if she has to leave the house with nothing, our Qiu family will accept it..."
Qiu Jianshe reached out and helped Chen Suniang. He looked at Hu Weidong with some disgust and said, "If we can't come to an agreement, we'll file a lawsuit."
The few onlookers were surprised. They originally thought it was just a minor friction, but it seemed that the Qiu family was determined to divorce.
Everyone looked at Hu Weidong with a more cautious look, and started to think about the situation in their minds.
Drivers are in high demand these days, especially those who drive long distances, and they have many romantic affairs outside.
Everyone looked at Hu Weidong standing in a panic outside the Qiu family's yard, and almost immediately accepted the rumor.
A young wife immediately spat, "Why don't you leave, you dirty thing."
Hu Weidong straightened his collar and shouted, "Hongling, I will not agree to a divorce."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
At the entrance of the alley, Zhang Yougen was carrying a fish basket and walking quickly inside. He passed by Hu Weidong and glanced at him. He had seen this man several times before.
Hu Weidong's face turned red, he lowered his head, and held the net bag without raising his head.
Before Zhang Yougen reached Qiu's house, he saw a lot of people standing at the gate of his courtyard, and Chen Suniang was also standing at the gate.
He walked over quickly.
Only then did I hear the neighbors talking about it. It turned out that Qiu Hongling wanted to divorce.
He was standing at the gate of the yard, thinking about something, when someone patted his shoulder and he turned around with a start.
Qiu Huoming approached him and asked with a smile: "Brother Yougen, why are you here? Come in and sit down. I'll make you a cup of malted milk."
"Oh, well, I caught some fish yesterday, and since I can't finish it all, I'll bring you some."
They have always had a good relationship and no one else cares.
Qiu Huoming led him into the yard.
Passing by Qiu Hongling's room, Zhang Yougen took a glance. Qiu Hongling was sitting on the edge of the bed, whispering to her younger sister. Her profile was gentle...
His ears turned red.
The fish basket was placed at the kitchen door. Usually at this time, he would just wave his hand and leave. But today, for the first time, he not only did not leave, but went into Qiu Huoming's small room.
"I won't go to the living room to save the time of greeting. I'll just sit in your room for a while..."
"Okay, sit wherever you want, I'll make you some malted milk."
Qiu Huoming made him a cup of malted milk and brought it out.
Zhang Yougen held the water cup and suddenly said, "I broke up with your sister Hong."
Qiu Huoming was stunned. "So sudden?"
"What the hell, they broke up and got back together several times before, and they never had any fights. Her family wanted to arrange a blind date for her, but this time they really broke up."
Qiu Huoming reached out and patted Zhang Yougen's shoulder, "I won't comfort you. Why do I feel that you just want to break up with her?"
Zhang Yougen smiled and said, "I lost a lot of money, but this time I'm relatively quiet."
"Hey, tell me, what's going on in your family?"
He pointed in the direction of Qiu Hongling's room.
"What can happen? My sister doesn't want to be surnamed Hu anymore. They brought an old woman to torture my sister. The whole family has no shame."
Qiu Huoming said bitterly.
"I just saw your brother-in-law... I saw that man, I'm afraid he is unwilling to accept it, right?"
"If you're not willing to give up, then file a lawsuit. My sister said that even if I lose my job, I still have to get a divorce..."
"Then...what about your nephew?" Zhang Yougen asked.
"My sister is reluctant to let him go and wants to fight for custody."
Zhang Yougen nodded, "I would definitely not want to give up my own children. It's okay. I can definitely afford to raise one big and one small."
Qiu Huoming asked in confusion: "What?"
Zhang Yougen rubbed his hot ears and said, "Why is it so hot today?"
"Maltese is too hot, please drink it slowly." Qiu Huoming sat down on the edge of the bed.
Suddenly he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Yougen, tell me the truth, you used to be with my sister..."
Zhang Yougen's hands trembled. "We studied together for a year, and we were deskmates. You know, I was held back a year and was just assigned to your sister's class. At that time, my grades were terrible..."
He calmed himself down and said, "Your sister..."
He lowered his voice a bit, "She couldn't stand me and insisted on giving me extra lessons."
Qiu Huoming laughed in silence. This was somewhat like Qiu Hongling's style. She loved reading and studying, and always thought that others loved the same things as she did...
Zhang Yougen scratched the back of his head. "Later, our school was closed. I was so stubborn that I was fighting outside every day. She ignored me when she saw me later..."
"I don't know why, but I feel scared when I see her."
Zhang Yougen endured the heat and drank a mouthful of malted milk, and his ears turned even redder.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "I see."
"Brother Yougen, my sister will stay at home from now on. Please help take care of her for me. I'm afraid that the guy named Hu will come and cause trouble..."
Zhang Yougen chuckled, "Once you enter our East Street, even a dragon will have to lie down... Don't worry, I still have this ability."
"Thank you, but you can't be violent... Of course, you can't be violent in front of everyone..."
Zhang Yougen looked at him with disdain, "I can kill him with just one finger, why would I bother to act?"
Chen Suniang chatted with the neighbors at the door for a few words before returning to the yard and closing the gate with Qiu Jianshe.
The crowd at the door then dispersed.
"Yougen, thank you for your trouble. These fish are ready. You can take some back..."
Chen Suniang poured the fish from the basket into the bucket and spoke loudly.
"Well, okay, I'll wait here. Just bring me one. My dad is the only one in my family who likes to eat fish..."
Zhang Yougen said politely.
"How can I take just one? Wait, I'll take two." Chen Suniang put down the fish basket, went into the living room, put on an apron, carried the bucket to the sink and started cleaning the fish.
Qiu Hongling walked out of the hut and put on her sleeves, "Mom, I'll help you."
Chen Suniang smiled and said, "Okay, it would be good to move your hands."
At the sink, the mother and daughter each performed their duties, and their movements were extremely skillful.
Zhang Yougen was overwhelmed by what he saw.
Seeing that her daughter had done a good job, Chen Suniang went straight into the house to light the stove.
After Qiu Hongling cleaned the fish, she suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Yougen. Zhang Yougen felt so flustered that he didn't even have time to turn his eyes.
Her eyes slid towards his face and she smiled and said, "Did you catch this fish?"
"Yes, I am a great fisherman."
"Well, then...are you..."
Qiu Hongling paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Did you secretly deliver the fish? And put it at the door of my kitchen?"
There were several years when daily necessities were scarce and the Qiu family could barely make ends meet. There were those days when they opened the door, they would see a basket of fish placed at the kitchen entrance.
Qiu Huoming also remembered this and thought it was a gift from Qiu Jianshe’s friend.
Zhang Yougen's eyes dodged for a moment, "I sent it a few times..." He turned to Qiu Huoming and slapped him on the shoulder, "I saw that he looked like a bean sprout, so I gave him some supplements..."
Qiu Huoming:...
Qiu Hongling breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, you really helped a lot."
"We are old classmates, why should I be polite?" Zhang Yougen rubbed his hands, and his well-defined face was flushed.
Fortunately, after Qiu Hongling said this, she went into the kitchen.
Zhang Yougen's hands were shaking a little. He took the cup and took another sip of malted milk.
Qiu Huoming's mind was a little confused and he sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Things from my childhood gradually came to my mind.
I originally thought that Zhang Yougen had always taken care of me because of my personal charm, but now it seems that I am taking advantage of my elder sister.
He glanced at Zhang Yougen. He was not a bad person by nature. He even had a stronger sense of justice than many people.
Qiu Huoming reached out and rubbed his hair, and a strange idea suddenly arose in his mind.
Zhang Yougen coughed and said, "Huo Ming, when will you return to school?"
"We'll leave on the fifth day and go to the capital first..."
"So fast?" Zhang Yougen frowned, "Well... I can catch fish these days... What should I do..."
"You and my sister are classmates, so just give it to her."
Qiu Huoming said unhappily: "Stop pretending."
