Father Xue shook his head in amusement: "If everyone worked as hard as you and your daughter to make money and care about money, there would be less trouble in the world!"
Mother Xue raised her chin proudly, "Of course!"
Xue Ling chuckled.
I don't know what she thought of, but Xue's mother stopped picking up vegetables with her chopsticks and looked at her wife.
"Old Xue, I suddenly have something to ask you - if I am like that woman, ignoring my family, you and my business, and going out to gamble and lose money all day long, will you divorce me? How much have I lost?
Just leave?"
This sentence stopped Xue's father.
Xue Ling put down the big bone in his hand and laughed so hard that he couldn't be happier.
Xue's father glanced at his daughter, then frowned and looked at his wife, "Why are you asking this so politely? Are you so busy?"
"I'm just making an analogy, can't I?" Xue's mother laughed.
"No!" Xue's father snorted: "I can't think of it, and I can't answer it."
Mother Xue laughed and scolded: "Why are you humming? Hurry up and answer! I just said 'if', you should think about it quickly for me now!"
"I don't want to!" Father Xue muttered: "Anyway, I won't condone you gambling. If you dare to gamble, I will seal your bank account so that you can't gamble."
"I'm borrowing money from loan sharks outside!" Xue's mother smiled hatefully and whispered: "Then you have to pay it back, otherwise they will chop off my hands and kill me."
Father Xue was busy eating meat and pretended not to hear anything.
Mother Xue stabbed him in the waist and said angrily: "Speak quickly! If you don't tell me, I will be angry! Old Zheng is so infatuated. He has reached more than the last step before he finally decided to divorce."
"I'm more infatuated than him, okay?" Xue's father gave her a doting look and said loudly: "I can give you all my property to gamble! I can give you anything! Anyway, my daughter is already old and has no money or house.
Factory, let’s rely on our daughters to support us. I don’t care!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xue Ling quickly gave her father a thumbs up, "Mom! Did you hear that? Dad is even more infatuated than Uncle Zheng! He almost chopped off his hands for you! Hahaha!
"
After hearing this, Mother Xue was finally satisfied and put away this almost "fatal if".
"Eat it quickly, don't let it get cold in a while."
Xue's father secretly rolled his eyes, not daring to show it, and buried his head in eating.
Xue Ling on the side whispered: "Dad, fortunately you gave me the answer and pushed me out of the way, otherwise my mother would definitely be dissatisfied. Women like to make such comparisons."
Father Xue sneered lowly, "It's just lip service. Isn't it easy to be as beautiful as you want?"
"Yo!"
That afternoon, Secretary Gong came back, sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
"I followed her there on a bicycle... The boss lady was not in a good mood... She went back to her eldest brother's place. Her old mother also lives there. As long as they are here, I believe she will be fine."
Xue Ling knew that it was not easy for him to ride a bicycle back and forth, so he said warmly: "Okay, let's go down and rest. She will come again, maybe with her old mother. You can call Uncle Zheng and let Uncle Zheng handle it by himself."
After all, this is a family matter, and letting a subordinate deal with it is not a long-term solution.
"Okay." Secretary Gong immediately felt relieved, thinking that someone would come out to deal with it.
Xue Ling added: "Tomorrow is the weekend, and Uncle Zheng may come here to work on Monday."
"Really?!" Secretary Gong asked happily: "Is the boss okay?"
"Okay." Xue Ling explained: "Tomorrow I will ask the three aunts in the canteen to help clean the office so that he can live in peace of mind. He can't drive yet, so it's not suitable for him to run back and forth. It's better for him to live here.
As I said, I will go back to spend time with my children on the weekends and stay here the rest of the time.”
"Okay, okay." Secretary Gong was relieved.
…
Early the next morning, Tang Hong and her old mother came to Sanyuan Factory again.
Secretary Gong hung up the phone directly to Zheng Sanyuan.
The old mother-in-law took the phone and tried her best to persuade her, and also offered various character guarantees. Unfortunately, Zheng Sanyuan refused to give up any dignity as an old man and refused to change his words.
When Tang Hong saw that Zheng Sanyuan was determined to get a divorce, she was already panicking. She changed her previous domineering and arrogant attitude and cried with grievance.
The old mother got tired of hearing this and couldn't help scolding her: "I just cried! If I had known this, what would you bet on?! Are you regretting it now? If you regret it, people won't want you anymore!"
Tang Hong said "Wow!" and threw herself into the old man's arms and cried loudly.
Secretary Gong poured water for them to drink. Unexpectedly, the two of them pestered him to reveal Zheng Sanyuan's current address. Secretary Gong was forced to do so.
"I really don't know! I know it's over at Ronghua Mall, but I don't know exactly where. I heard from Boss Xue that our boss will move back to the factory next Monday."
The old mother's eyes flashed a few times and she lowered her voice: "Ah Hong, since Sanyuan is coming soon, we don't have to look for it. This is his factory. If he can escape, the monk can't escape the temple. He will come back. Let's
Come back in two days."
"But... what if he still refuses to let go..." Tang Hong swallowed in frustration: "Then what should we do?"
The old mother glared at her with hatred, and whispered: "We have a strong love for each other when we meet. You have been with him for so many years. How can this love disappear like this? When we meet, you will cry all the time, and I will naturally
Help you convince him."
Tang Hong seemed to see hope and nodded quickly.
On the weekend, Zheng Datong took his younger brothers and sisters back to their new home in Ronghua Mall.
Zheng Sanyuan cooked a large pot of chicken soup and ate it with the children.
That night, the father and son went downstairs to go shopping. Zheng Sanyuan bought daily necessities and books for the children, and did not go back to bed until very late.
On Sunday, Zheng Sanyuan took them to have a big meal behind the mall, and also took them to Cheng Tianfang's bakery to buy a small cake for each of the children.
The children had so much fun that they reluctantly took the bus back to school in the evening.
Early on Monday morning, Zheng Sanyuan got up, closed all the windows, took a few changes of clothes with him, turned off the power at home, and turned around to go diagonally across the street.
Cheng Muhai was waiting for him to have breakfast. When he saw him coming, he quickly served a large bowl of millet porridge and two hot barbecued pork buns.
“Try the homemade meat buns.”
Zheng Sanyuan could tell at a glance that it was made by Cheng Tianyuan, and said with a smile: "I've eaten it several times, it's delicious!"
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan opened the door and came over to have breakfast.
Zheng Sanyuan looked at Xue Ling's growing belly and said apologetically: "Xue Ling, I've worked hard on you for a while. I'll go over and hand over the baby in a while, and you'll come back to take good care of the baby. There are two babies in your belly, and it must be harder than others.
, can’t be careless.”
"Okay." Xue Ling agreed with a smile, "As long as you are here, there is no need for a layman like me!"
"Speaking of modesty." Zheng Sanyuan said warmly: "You are good at whatever business you do."
After eating, they set off.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't have to go out in the morning. After eating, he took the newspaper and read it at the door, waiting for his two sons to get up.
Xue Heng and Cheng Tianfang hurried over one after the other. One was wearing a tie, the other was flipping up his hair. They had overslept again.
