Chapter 52 Tentative

Qi Tao didn’t fool Lin Wei, he told Yang Yi about it at night, and asked Mrs. Qi to apologize to her.

Ever since the second child of Qi got married and started a family and Mrs. Qi changed her attitude, she has never been so humble in front of Yang Yi, not to mention how happy she was at that moment.

Raise your eyebrows!

Looking at Yang Yi’s high-spirited appearance, Lin Wei asked, “Then do you still want to test it out now?”

The smile on Yang Yi’s face disappeared, she bit her lip and thought for a long time, nodding for a long time: “I still want to figure it out.” Even if she believed Qi Tao six or seven points, thinking about these things in the future, she would inevitably have a grudge in her heart. Just check it out.

“Even if the result is not as expected?” Lin Wei asked.

Yang Yi nodded again: “Yes.”

Yang Yi made up her mind, Liu Dan took action, and said to Xing Dong that night, “I’ve been thinking about it for the past two days, but I always feel that something is not right.”

Xing Dong was sitting by the bed and undressing, when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Xiao Yang and her mother-in-law.”

Xing Dong asked, “Isn’t the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not very good? What’s wrong?”

“What’s the matter, you didn’t listen to what Granny Xiao Yang said that night? Xiao Lin said that Xiao Deng was looking for Xiao Yang. Her mother-in-law’s first reaction was that she didn’t have a job, so she could be looking for something serious. Do you think it’s normal? If it were me, would you mumble like that?”

Xing Dong thought about it, the answer is no.

But he said: “Their situation is different from ours. They are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and we are husband and wife.”

Liu Dan asked back: “According to what you said, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be harmonious on the face, but look down on each other in their hearts?”

Xing Dong laughed: “How come it has reached this level, Qi Tao’s mother is an old rural lady, and she didn’t think much about it when she said that.”

“I didn’t think much about it, I just said something casually. Isn’t it all the beautification words I thought so in my heart?” Liu Dan leaned on the bedside, lowered his eyes and muttered, “And I have some things to think about these two days.”

“What’s up?”

“Twice before, when I went out in the morning, I heard the next door scolding, and once I didn’t hear it right, so I knocked on the door next door, and guess what?”

Xing Dong held the venue and asked, “What’s going on?”

“At that time, Mrs. Qi came to open the door. She said she was training her son.”

“That’s training my son.”

Xing Dong turned on the bed, hugged his daughter-in-law and came up to kiss him, but Liu Dan pushed him away: “You are blind! Old Qi loves her second child too much, you can’t see it? Usually, he is reluctant to speak loudly. Say, she would scold her son like that?”

Xing Dong’s mouth was empty, he raised his hand on the back of his head, and squinted at his daughter-in-law: “According to you, she is not scolding her son, but training her daughter-in-law?”

“certainly.”

“But Mrs. Qi usually treats Xiao Yang very well.”

“She treats Xiao Yang well, it’s all superficial, if it’s really that good, she would still blurt out that kind of words that night? Maybe it’s one thing to face and one thing to the back. When no one is around, I don’t know how she will teach her. Where’s Xiao Yang! And didn’t you find it? Since Mrs. Qi came, Xiao Yang’s face has been particularly bad.”

Xing Dong felt that Liu Dan was thinking too much: “You… think about people too badly, and you still have one set in front of you, how can Qi Tao be so powerful? Besides, you still don’t know who Qi Tao is. That night, his mother muttered, and he asked his mother to apologize to Xiao Yang. If his mother treats Xiao Yang like this, can he just sit back and ignore it?”

“It was Xiao Lin who took the talk that night. Xiao Yang has been a bull and a horse for their family for so many years, and so many people are watching. Of course he has to show something.” Liu Dan muttered, “And he did it behind his back. Those things, he may not know.”

Xing Dong called out: “Oh my daughter-in-law, you are too naive, that’s his home, if her mother is really so many of his daughter-in-law, he doesn’t know anything, how stupid he must be?”

Liu Dan’s face changed: “You mean, Qi Tao knows how his mother treated Xiao Yang behind his back?”

Xing Dong choked: “…I mean it’s not as scary as you think, how can you be obedient?” The meaning went to the horizon.

But his daughter-in-law completely ignored his words, sat up and said, “No, no, you have to ask Qi Tao for me to see if he knows about it.”

Xing Dong was speechless and asked sincerely, “Daughter-in-law, did you hear what I said just now?”

“I heard.” Liu Dan nodded and said as a matter of course, “But I still think that Mrs. Qi is not right, and when you say it, I think that Qi Tao is also not quite right. You have to help me and ask him if he knows. These things.”

Yes, his daughter-in-law’s rectitude is unwilling to change after looking for it.

Xing Dong could only change his mind and follow her down: “Even if Qi Tao’s mother is not right, he is not right, but what’s the use of asking? Can you go to Xiao Yang and tell her that there is something wrong with your man, you Don’t live with her? I’d rather demolish ten temples than destroy a family, daughter-in-law.”

Liu Dan thought to herself, if they couldn’t get along, what would it have to do with her? It is also the fault of Qi Tao’s mother Bai Lian!

But this matter could not be disclosed for the time being, so Liu Dan said, “Anyway, you have to help me to ask, otherwise I will assume that Qi Tao has a problem, and you, along with him, go all the way!”

When Xing Dong heard the words, he immediately fell down in anger, and said, “Only women and villains are difficult to support!”

…

In order to cleanse himself, Xing Dong had to follow his daughter-in-law’s wishes to test Qi Tao. So, after leaving the barracks the next evening, he stopped people on the way and asked them about their family.

Although the two of them have a good relationship, and they live next door, it is considered a good family, but Xing Dong is never a person who likes to inquire about other people’s family affairs. When he suddenly asks these things around the corner, Qi Tao is inevitably suspicious, and frowns and asks: “Why are you asking these all of a sudden?”

“I…”

Xing Dong looked at his face, sighed helplessly and said, “Isn’t it my daughter-in-law, worry about it, saying that when she goes out during this time, she always hears your house making noises, and Comrade Xiao Yang’s face is not very good, I just wanted to ask if something happened to your house?”

Qi Tao stopped: “She heard the noise of my house when she went out?”

“Yeah, when your mother first came here, it was just last week. When she went out, she heard scolding inside, and knocked on the door to ask. Your mother said she was scolding your brother. She was too embarrassed to ask more. I went to work. After I went out, she could hear voices every three or five minutes, and she didn’t think much about it, but…” Xing Dong glanced at Qi Tao and didn’t say anything further.

Qi Tao took the initiative to ask, “But what?”

“Didn’t Comrade Xiaolin come to see my daughter-in-law a few days ago, saying that they have something to say. In fact, they have nothing to discuss at all. She came to call my daughter-in-law to persuade Comrade Xiaoyang.”

Qi Tao was so annoyed that Xing Dong said a word to stop, but he had to patiently ask: “What’s wrong with Xiao Yang?”

“My daughter-in-law said that after she followed Xiao Lin, she saw Xiao Yang crying, but when she asked her why she was crying, she refused to say anything.” Xing Dong sighed, “My daughter-in-law said that she had been in a bad mood a few days ago, you didn’t Did you find it?”

“I…”

Qi Tao fell silent, of course he found something wrong with Yang Yi.

One night when he woke up in the middle of the night and heard her crying secretly, he asked her what was wrong, but she didn’t say anything. He asked again the next morning, but she just looked at him for a long time, turned over and didn’t speak.

At that time, he was upset about things in the camp, so he didn’t ask more when she didn’t want to talk about it, and only asked his mother to help him and enlighten her more.

When Lin Wei came over that day, his mother muttered that sentence, and he felt that maybe the atmosphere at home was not good recently, so his mother’s mood was also a little bad. So after Lin Wei and the others left, he talked to his mother and asked her to apologize to Yang Yi for that sentence.

Yang Yi’s face has obviously improved a lot these days. He thought it was over, but according to Xing Dong’s words… Qi Tao asked, “Do you know when my sister-in-law heard something in my house in the morning?”

“I knew there was a time last week, but I really don’t know the exact day.” Xing Dong’s voice suddenly stopped, looked back and forth and asked, “Will something really happen to your family?”

Qi Tao only asked: “Can you go back and ask my sister-in-law for me?”

“It’s absolutely fine to ask her. She insisted on asking me to inquire about the news because she was suspicious, but if something happened, what would you do?”

Qi Tao still didn’t answer, only said: “Please help me to ask clearly first, it’s troublesome.”

“polite.”

…

As soon as he got home, Xing Dong, who had been waiting anxiously for a day, was dragged into the bedroom by his daughter-in-law, and asked, “How is it? What’s Qi Tao’s reaction?”

Xing Dong didn’t explain it immediately, he just cleared his throat and said to Qiao: “After I left the military camp, I dragged someone to stand on the side of the road and chatted for a long time, and I haven’t even had a drink of saliva. Do you have to…” What is he? He didn’t say anything, just extended his hand full of hints.

The two have been married for more than ten years. What kind of virtue does Liu Dan still know? After muttering “see what you can do”, he went out of the house to pour water.

Taking the enamel cup, Xing Dong took a sip and said, “Why is it white water?”

Liu Dan gritted his teeth: “It’s cold at home now. If you want to drink tea, I’ll make it now. It’s hot, can you drink it?”

Xing Dong said embarrassingly, “That’s it”, poured a large gulp of white water, and opened his mouth to complain: “It’s your attitude of asking for help, it’s because you are my daughter-in-law, otherwise I wouldn’t be bothered to pay attention to you.”

Liu Dan narrowed his eyes: “Then if I’m not your daughter-in-law, which old shígG Dujia girl do you want to marry?”

Xing Dong was still very eager to survive, and immediately changed his mind and said, “I definitely don’t want anyone except you!”

“Poor, hurry up.” She came back from a state-run restaurant after get off work. Now that the children are eating outside, she is still hungry.

“Okay, okay, say it right away.” Xing Dong raised his head and drank the remaining water in the cup, and talked about the conversation between himself and Qi Tao in detail, not even letting go of his eyes.

Liu Dan fell into deep thought, raised his head half aloud and asked, “He asked you to ask me what kind of expression did he look like when there was movement in their house?”

“Frowning, thinking.”

“Then do you think he really doesn’t know what the **** he did?”

Xing Dong leaned on the head of the bed, playing with the cup in his hand and asked, “Tell me first, are you curious about this, or is it Xiao Yang?”

Liu Dan’s expression froze.

Xing Dong dragged his voice: “So it is.”

“How did you see it?” Liu Dan asked embarrassedly.

Xing Dong said, “You open your mouth and shut your mouth about what Qi Tao’s mother did, and your attitude is so determined. I don’t want to see it.”

Moreover, his wife asked him to test Qi Tao, and the words he made up were not because he looked down on his wife, but because the husband and wife had been in the same bed for so many years, and he really didn’t think her wife could make it up.

But he didn’t dare to say this, for fear of being beaten.

Liu Dan didn’t think much about it. He really thought that you were being careless. He softened his tone and asked, “You already guessed it, why are you still testing Qi Tao?”

“You can’t do it if you don’t help, otherwise you always think that I’m in the same boat as Qi Tao, where can I make sense?” Xing Dong pretended to sigh, and then talked about his own thoughts, “According to what I know about Qi Tao, he probably doesn’t know his mother’s relationship with him. Those things between daughters-in-law.”

Although Xing Dong felt that if Qi Tao really had a conflict with his daughter-in-law and he didn’t know anything, then he would be too stupid. But then I thought about the situation of the Qi family, the old lady would pretend, the daughter-in-law didn’t tell, and he was so busy every day, he didn’t know that it was really possible.

In fact, the other two families in their courtyard now think that Mrs. Qi is really kind, and she is really kind to Yang Yi. Even he himself thought that Mrs. Qi was very nice before last night.

Liu Dan didn’t know what Xing Dong was thinking, but when he heard his words, his eyes lit up: “Really?”

Xing Dong nodded: “If his reaction at the time was all fake, then I have known him for nothing over the years.”

Don’t think that the temperament of being a soldier is easy to fool. People like them who have climbed up without background have good IQ and EQ, and they still have the ability to know people. He felt that Qi Tao’s personality was not perfect, but there was definitely no major problem with his character, and he could be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

But Xing Dong didn’t say anything to death, and said, “It depends on his follow-up actions.”

If Qi Tao made a big mess and didn’t particularly protect his mother, what would happen, then Xing Dong felt that he didn’t know those things before, and it wasn’t that important. At least people can handle it clearly, and living with him will never be mistreated.

On the other hand, if he gently exposed this matter and let Yang Yi endure it, even if he really didn’t know those things before, Yang Yi’s life would not be easy in the future.

However, all of the above things are bad, and if you think about the good, there is also the possibility that Qi Tao doesn’t know about those things and doesn’t plan to protect his mother.

…

After dinner, Xing Dong went to the next door and called Qi Tao to his house and asked Liu Dan to tell him.

The conversation didn’t last too long, maybe five or six minutes, maybe eight or nine minutes, and Qi Tao only asked some detailed questions. However, after getting the answer, his face was not very good, and he was sullen when thanking Liu Dan.

However, Liu Danhe can understand him. Anyone who finds out that he has a harmonious family is already full of contradictions, and his mood may not be too good.

Therefore, Liu Dan now prefers that Qi Tao does not know those things. So after Qi Tao left, Liu Dan handed over the task of supervising the children’s bathing to Xing Dong, and hurriedly went to Lin Wei to report.

When Liu Dan arrived, Lin Wei was standing on the balcony on the second floor watering the pot of mandarin duck and jasmine.

Because it is a potted plant, the soil moisture is not enough, and it needs to be watered regularly. Although it is already October, the climate of Yazhou Island is hot and the temperature has not completely dropped, so she currently waters the flowers on average every two days.

When she was not at work before, she always watered in the morning, but now that she has a job, the time is not so certain.

Today, after having dinner, she saw a newly transplanted flower in the yard downstairs, and she remembered this, so she scooped up the water and went upstairs.

When watering the flowers, Lin Wei was still thinking about whether to let Zong Shao move the pot of flowers down, because this pot of flowers was placed on the balcony on the second floor, so she could only notice it when she came back from the house or went up and down the second floor. Coupled with the recent busyness, it is easy to forget to water her.

And if it is moved downstairs, she will see more time, and she will not always forget to water it.

While thinking about it, Lin Wei heard a voice from downstairs, looked up and saw Liu Dan standing on the road waving at her.

Just looking at the bright smile on her face, Lin Wei guessed that the result would be good, and replied with a smile, “You go in, I’ll come down right away.”

Liu Dan agreed and entered the living room through the open back door.

In the living room, Zong Shao was opening the letter, but he didn’t seem to be in a good mood. His eyebrows were clenched, and the letter opening was a bit rough.

Liu Dan saw it in his eyes, and swallowed the words “Comrade Zong, you have a letter from your family”.

Who does not happily tear open the envelope when receiving a letter from home, because he is afraid of tearing the letter, so he will deliberately slow down when opening it, and read the letter with anticipation?

Even if you don’t look at Zong Shao’s expression, just look at this action, you know that the person who wrote the letter will not have a good relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Liu Dan sat on the corner of the sofa farthest from Zong Shao, waiting for Lin Wei to come down quietly.
