Chapter 30 Sending the middle-aged woman in
The middle-aged woman came to the bookstore because her best friend told her that the bookstore sold a book called "An Actor Prepares," which was very helpful for acting.
I'm planning to buy a book for my child so he can study it properly.
She couldn't find it on the first floor of the bookstore, but when she went up to the second floor, she unexpectedly saw a sign.
The latest work from the "prodigy who debuted as a teenager" - "Summer, Fireworks, My Corpse".
"Look at other people's children," the middle-aged woman thought, flipping through a few pages with curiosity before becoming sleepy.
"What did I come here for again?"
When she opened her eyes again, she had forgotten everything. She hadn't bought any books and rode her electric bike to her sister's house.
The coins in his pocket rattled.
I made a small profit yesterday, but it wasn't enough fun. I have to play bigger games today, otherwise it'll be no fun at all.
"Brother, isn't that your mother?"
Luo Jinnian also saw the middle-aged woman.
Director Qin, with a lollipop in his mouth, was patted on the back by his niece and immediately started the car.
The middle-aged woman was still fantasizing about how much money she could make this time, unaware that her little electric scooter had been targeted by a large sedan.
Is National Day coming soon?
The boy's rambling words brought a knowing smile to Qin Chuan's face, who was focused on driving.
"Yeah, who knows, she might end up spending the holiday inside."
The middle-aged woman never took Luo Jinnian with her when she went to play mahjong, so Luo Jinnian's righteous heart of putting family members before family could not be put to use. Today is the best opportunity.
A perfect opportunity to catch a middle-aged woman pursuing a doctorate.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Ms. Fei said angrily, feeling isolated.
Luo Jinnian reached out and patted the girl's head: "You'll find out soon enough."
After several twists and turns, the middle-aged woman's electric scooter drove into a narrow alley where cars couldn't go.
"You all sit tight in the car, and we adults will take care of the rest."
Initially, the assistant nodded reassuredly, listening to the man's calm tone, until she heard the second half of his sentence: "Do I want to come too?"
Qin Chuan gave a "no way" look, saying that adults should handle their own affairs.
I will never give Uncle Qin half of his work again. Uncle Qin really treats Luo Jinnian like a nephew, no, he is more kind and righteous than most uncles.
After making the arrangements, Qin Chuan closed the car door, put on his sunglasses, and swayed as he leaned on his assistant to get out of the car.
He's faking a hangover.
A skilled person can tell at a glance. A middle-aged woman seeing a man on the street who can barely stand would be too busy running away to notice anything amiss.
What bad luck! She hurried over to her sisters' house, determined to give those lewd men a good scolding when she saw them.
The middle-aged woman scoffed at the idea of someone getting drunk like this in broad daylight. She thought to herself, "These men always say they're busy, but who knows how many women they're out having fun with." Luckily, she had never relied on any of the men.
"My son is even more disappointing..."
As soon as she sat down, the middle-aged woman began her daily lip-biting, weaving her experiences of the day into a folk tale.
"That round-faced woman supporting the man next to her is definitely not a decent person; she's probably one of those who works as a hostess and ends up in bed with someone."
"What the hell..." Qin Chuan hurriedly pulled his furious assistant back.
Holding a camera but unable to find a good angle to record, he thought for a moment, then patted his shoulder, signaling his assistant to sit down.
"We must stay calm."
"Don't worry, you know I work out every day."
Today was the perfect day to put his usual workout to good use, and just as Qin Chuan was feeling smug, a strange, sweet fragrance made him lose his senses.
The assistant sat on the director's broad shoulders, completely unaware of the situation below. All she knew was that her task was to gather evidence of the teenage mother's crimes.
Thinking of the boy's usual intelligence and charm, and his politeness and respect for every elder, she felt a sense of responsibility rising from the soles of her feet.
He held up his camera and recorded the epileptic seizures of several old women at the mahjong table.
When will this girl settle down? It's not entirely Qin Chuan's fault. He hasn't dated anyone since breaking up with his first love of seven years in college. And don't let his usual extravagant playboy appearance fool you; he's actually very conservative.
Because he's not short of money, Qin Chuan prefers to use a custom-made Holy Grail to solve problems rather than resorting to physical intimacy without genuine care.
"Did you get the shot? How much longer will it take to finish?"
The assistant shook her head; she wanted to film a little longer to pave the way for the police officers who would follow.
Lotus sat there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before reluctantly jumping off the boss's neck.
Seeing the boss's bright red neck, the assistant chuckled sheepishly.
"You're the one who let me ride on it, right? As your wise leader, you can't make things difficult for me later... What are we going to do next?"
If you step into the company with your left foot first tomorrow, you'll be fired, even though I haven't been back to the company in a long time.
Qin Chuan stretched his neck and handed his phone to the woman who dared to ride on his neck, looking rather irritable.
"What for? Of course, you're calling the police."
"oh oh."
………………
……
"So that's what you were thinking."
Luo Jinnian didn't give any hints; the girl figured it out on her own.
"You might not understand, but they say a mother and child are connected at heart..."
Because it was a girl he cared about, Luo Jinnian said something extra. In all this time, he had never explained anything to the middle-aged woman who hit him for no reason, but Teacher Fei was different.
"But won't this affect your civil service exam? After all, she's still your mother in name only."
No one would have expected that this was the girl's first thought. Seeing the astonished look in her brother Jin Nian's eyes, Fei Yuxi continued, enunciating each word clearly:
"My mother always taught me—'Repay evil with kindness, for what will you repay kindness with?' This is a saying of Confucius, the great sage from our province of Lu."
Confucius was right.
The director's upturned lips outside the car window never disappeared. After replying to his niece, he hurriedly got into the car with his assistant and started reversing to make room for the police car.
Shh~ Let's find a good spot to watch the show.
The assistant and his boss exchanged a knowing smile, then took several professional-looking binoculars from the car compartment and handed them to the two children behind them.
The car windows only allow people inside the car to look out, not outside, so the four adults and children can enjoy the melons without worry.
Qin Chuan took out two cucumbers, which were grown by his sister, Fei Yuxi's mother. He broke the cucumbers in half and gave half a cucumber to each person in the car.
Several people actually started eating melon seeds in a physical sense.
The police car drove in quickly. There was no resistance and not even much noise. Several elderly women got into the police car with their heads down, under the watchful eyes of acquaintances on the street.
"They forced me to do it. Police officers, listen to me, I don't have any money, how could I play mahjong?"
You know the prisoner's dilemma, right? Well, middle-aged women certainly do. Since these good friends are definitely going to betray them, they might as well just pass the buck themselves now.
Her sudden inspiration caused even the "Mahjong Queen," who had been hiding their heads in embarrassment, to lose their temper and start cursing:
"We play mahjong here every day, and it's only because you insisted on coming. Screw you, we're from the same street, who do you think you are? You're the one who keeps sticking to us like a dog every day."
"Yeah, what's the point of playing mahjong if you don't have money? You know that yourself. We all have several rental properties at home, but you, a poor slut, insist on fitting into a place you shouldn't be in."
The two police officers quickly stopped them.
This dog-eat-dog show is a rare sight indeed. Amidst the chaos, the two large and two small cars offer a unique and enjoyable scene, with everyone happily watching the drama unfold.
"I want more."
I don't know why the cucumbers tasted so good today. My sister didn't even have enough cucumbers to share, so the director broke the last cucumber into four pieces, one for each person.
The assistant was munching on a cucumber and potato chips when the boss knocked him on the head.
"This tastes just right?"
"You can eat whatever you want. Boss, you're so young, don't act like an old man and meddle in other people's business."
Watching the adults bickering in front of them, Luo Jinnian and Fei Yuxi looked into each other's eyes and smiled, and before they knew it, their two fair little hands were clasped together.
It looks like it's going to rain.
"Hmm, it should be Xiaoyu."
Why do you say that?
"It feels like all the heavy rains have stopped, and from now on there will only be light rain."
"Will it only be light rain?" Fei Yuxi repeated her name several times.
