When Qu Lianjie heard this, he immediately became angry. He turned to his father and said angrily:
"How old is she? She's already 20 after the Chinese New Year. She still has a child?"
"Just get used to it. With her open mouth, if she offends someone our family can't afford to offend, we'll suffer a loss!"
Qu Datou frowned when he heard his son's words. He obviously took it in, but when he thought about how his wife and daughter had been wronged in the past few days, it was normal to feel a little resentful, so he didn't say anything more. He planned to find time to spend time with his daughter in the future. Have a chat.
When Qu Xiaoxiao heard her "rival" commenting on herself, she turned to face her father with tears in her eyes and said with a pretended aggrieved face:
"Dad, look at him, I didn't say anything. As for saying that about him~"
Qu Datou sighed after hearing this. He had his son on one side and his daughter on the other. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. He was in a dilemma. He said helplessly:
"Okay, let's stop saying a few words. We always argue every time we meet. Are you brothers and sisters, or enemies from the past life?"
When Qu Lianjie saw him and Xi Ni, he didn't have time to show him the love between brother and sister. He stood up and said while getting dressed:
"Okay, I'm talking too much, so let's stop talking. Because my grandma won't let them go back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year, you feel guilty but I don't!"
After putting on his coat, Qu Lianjie turned around and looked down at Qu Xiaoxiao, and said very rudely:
"Don't talk to me in a weird way from now on, and don't take it out on me if you're angry. I don't owe you anything!"
Qu Xiaoxiao had been impulsive just now, and now she felt that what she just said was not right. Faced with her brother's accusation, she knew that she was wrong, so she didn't say anything.
Here Qu Lianjie ignored the father and daughter after speaking, turned around and left Qu's house.
Xu Li was cooking in the kitchen and didn't hear what happened in the living room. She was a little surprised when she saw Qu Lianjie leaving.
He took off his apron and put it aside. When he walked to the living room, he saw his husband and daughter looking happy. Seeing this, he understood something and asked:
"What's wrong? Are you arguing again?"
Qu Datou was angry, and when he heard his wife's words, his tone became a little impatient:
"Ask your precious daughter, Lian Jie didn't mess with her, but she was the one who stirred up trouble every time. I know that because my mother didn't let you go back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year, you feel aggrieved!"
"But you can't take your anger out on Lian Jie. What does this matter have to do with him? What did Xiao Xiao mean by what she just said?"
Although Xu Li had a rough guess, she didn't know exactly what happened, so she subconsciously looked at her daughter.
Qu Xiaoxiao faced her mother's gaze and smiled awkwardly, but she did not apologize, because although she regretted saying those two words, she did not think she was wrong.
Xu Li understood everything based on what her husband had just said and her daughter's reaction. She was a little helpless about her daughter's unrestrained words. She didn't know who she was following. Neither she nor her father was like this.
Thinking of this, Xu Li sighed, walked over to her husband, took his arm and gently persuaded:
"Laoqu, Xiaoxiao is still young after all, and sometimes she may be a little arrogant when speaking. As parents, we just need to teach her more. Don't be angry with her!"
After saying that, he winked at his daughter and said in a meaningful way:
"Xiao Xiao, apologize to your father quickly, and call your brother later to apologize too. You kid is not allowed to talk like this in the future. You can do whatever you want with your family, but it's not okay to do this outside!"
The first half of Xu Li's words were nonsense, but the second half meant that he, Qu Lianjie, was a member of the family and should be more tolerant of his sister and not be so petty. This was also meant for her husband.
"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken like that just now. Don't be angry with me~" Qu Xiaoxiao also understood what her mother meant and pouted, speaking in a very reluctant tone.
"Alas~" Qu Datou sighed after hearing this. He naturally understood the meaning of his wife's words just now.
He said earnestly to his daughter:
"Xiao Xiao, dad is not angry, but you really shouldn't talk to your brother like that. It's obvious from what happened these few times that your brother is letting you go. Don't do this again!"
"Your mother is right, call your brother later and apologize. After all, we are a family~"
Qu Xiaoxiao didn't admit her mistake to her father from the bottom of her heart, and now she is even more unwilling to ask her to call her "rival" to apologize.
Then he made an excuse for himself:
"Dad, there's no need to apologize. I just spoke to him like that because of my mother. Mainly because I heard you talking about things in your hometown and felt worthless for her, so I was impulsive!"
"Um?"
"What does it have to do with your mother?" Qu Datou was a little surprised, and then subconsciously turned to look at his wife beside him, his eyes full of doubts.
"Me?" Xu Li also had a question mark on her face when facing the questioning look in her husband's eyes.
Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao quickly explained:
"Dad, this matter has nothing to do with my mother. The main reason is that I was a little angry when I heard you guys talk about that guy called Shunzi from my hometown. My mother is an elder no matter what, and she didn't even bother to come visit me when she came to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year. !”
"Oh, that's it!" Qu Datou also looked away from his wife after hearing his daughter's explanation.
Then he sighed and explained to his daughter in a somewhat far-fetched way:
"Xiao Xiao, you are right to protect your mother, but this matter about Shunzi was your father's idea. You also know that your mother has a tense relationship with her hometown."
"That's why dad didn't let your brother Shunzi and sister-in-law come over. He was also afraid that your mother would get angry when she saw them!"
Both father and daughter knew that what they said was an excuse, but when they reached a certain level, the matter was over. After all, it had already happened.
…
Qu Lianjie didn't even have dinner here, and he wasn't in the mood to cook when he got home. He made a bowl of instant noodles and went to bed after eating it.
Early the next morning, I drove directly to the community rented by Qu Lianshun and his wife. I bought some breakfast at the breakfast shop downstairs. After taking the elevator, I walked to the door and knocked lightly:
"Brother Shunzi, are you having sex with your sister-in-law?"
Qu Lianshun and Qi Hong inside the house had already gotten up early and were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. When they heard the sound, they stood up and opened the door.
After opening the door, Qu Lianshun saw Qu Lianjie holding breakfast in his hand, smiled and complained:
"Why are you buying these things? It's a waste of money. Your sister-in-law has already made breakfast and you haven't eaten it yet. Come over and eat together!"
Qu Lianjie walked inside and replied while changing his slippers:
"I bought some random things downstairs~"
Qu Lianshun took the breakfast from his brother and took it to the kitchen to put it on a plate.
After Qu Lianjie changed his shoes, he walked to the restaurant and said hello to Qi Hong:
"Sister-in-law~"
Qi Hong said very enthusiastically:
"You haven't eaten yet, right. Come over and eat something together. Here are the tea eggs your Uncle Jiang brought from home. I made some porridge!"
"Okay~" Qu Lianjie didn't notice anyone else and sat down directly.
"Honey, help me take it!" Qu Lianshun walked out of the kitchen, holding a pair of bowls and chopsticks in his left hand, and the steamed buns and fried dough sticks that had been placed on the plate in his right hand. There was also a bag of fried dough sticks brought from his hometown hanging on his finger. pickle.
