Upon seeing this, Grandma Qu smiled and patted Zheng Fen's hand. She knew that her daughter-in-law must want to go, but she couldn't tell her grandson to go because she always disagreed.
And he is also afraid that his daughter-in-law will be sad, because once he goes to the magic city, his son Qu Datou will definitely come over. What if that woman comes too.
Now that the daughter-in-law has figured it out, it’s not a bad idea to go for a walk. Then the old lady put the phone to her ear and said angrily:
"Grandson, grandma agreed, you can come pick me and your mother up, but we have an agreement first. We will have to come back after staying for two days. The chickens and ducks at home cannot live without people!"
Qu Lianjie was sitting on the chair in the office. He was very surprised when his grandma said this. Why did he agree without even trying to persuade me?
Somewhat unsure, he asked again:
"Grandma, what did you say, did you agree?"
"You kid, why are your ears so hard to use at this age? Yes, I agreed~" Grandma Qu joked with a smile.
When Qu Lianjie heard his grandma say this, he sounded very excited:
"Then grandma, let's choose a different day than a chance one. I will go back to my hometown to pick you up today~"
Grandma Qu was getting older, and she missed her son and grandson more. She didn’t say anything about this, she just smiled and said:
"Come back and drive slowly, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"Don't worry, grandma, I won't tell you anymore, I'll drive to my hometown~" After saying that, Qu Lianjie hung up the phone, got up and walked out of his office.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at the office room of Vice President Zhao Mei next door. After knocking on the door and entering, we sat directly on the sofa nearby.
Zhao Mei was sitting on a chair studying possible solutions to the reasons for the branch's poor business. She just heard a knock on the door and thought it was an employee coming in to report on work. However, she looked up and saw the boss coming in.
He quickly stood up and said hello: "Mr. Qu, you are here~"
Qu Lianjie didn't talk nonsense here and waved directly to Zhao Mei who was about to come over:
"Mr. Zhao, take your seat. I'll make a long story short. I'm going back to my hometown in a while. I'll leave the company to you. If you need anything, call me!"
When Zhao Mei heard this, she stopped walking over, but still did not sit down. She said respectfully:
"Okay, Mr. Qu!"
Qu Lianjie nodded, then stood up and was about to leave, but then he remembered something, turned around and said with a serious face:
"Also, for that branch with poor turnover, you should think of more solutions, communicate with the money manager from the advertising company, increase publicity efforts, and then see if there are any management problems. If it doesn't work, just Replace that store manager!”
After listening to the boss's instructions, Zhao Mei smiled and agreed:
"Okay, Mr. Qu, I'll write down everything you said and I'll get it done right away. You should drive more slowly when you get back!"
"Okay, just these two things, I'll leave first~" Qu Lianjie said and left Zhao Mei's office directly.
Following the stairs to the first floor, I wanted to go out directly, but I happened to see Qi Hong clearing the table and cleaning up.
Qu Lianjie walked over and asked:
"Sister-in-law, you can pack it up later. I'm going back to my hometown soon. Do you have anything to take back to my hometown?"
Qi Hong stopped what he was doing when he heard this, thought for a moment and said:
"I don't have anything to take back, but can you bring something back for me when you come back? Zeyang has a tiger-headed doll that I have been holding in my arms since I was a child~"
"When I picked him up some time ago, your Shunzi brother was careless and forgot about it. Now the child talks to me about this every day!"
"No problem, it's a tiger-head doll, right? I've made a note of it. You go ahead and I'll leave first!" After Qu Lianjie walked out of the door, he drove directly back to his hometown.
…
Over here in my hometown, Grandma Qu was sitting on the sofa chatting with her daughter-in-law, and said with a sad look on her face:
"Don't worry, Xiaofen. No matter what happens to Datou, my old lady will only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. Our Qu family owes you!"
"Mom knows that you are a kid who accepts death, but there are some things I still want to say. You are not too old now and don't need to accompany my old lady. If it really happens..."
Zheng Fen also knew what her mother-in-law meant by what she didn't say, because the old lady had said such words more than once.
But she still refused as usual without thinking:
"Mom, I am satisfied with what you just said. Don't mention those words in the future. As long as you don't dislike me, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life~"
When Grandma Qu heard this, she couldn't help but reached out and touched the thick calluses and faint scars on Zheng Fen's hands, sighed, and then silently shed tears.
These scars were left by the daughter-in-law when she was young. When her son went out to work and there was no man in the family, the child was afraid that he would get hurt, so he rushed to do all the dirty and tiring work.
She did all the work of chopping firewood, cooking, pouring swill, and even running the chimney in the bedroom. She also managed the family land in a decent manner. She was a hard-working woman.
Thinking of the old lady hugging the daughter-in-law who had suffered a lifetime of sin in her own family, she burst into tears with sadness:
"Xiaofen, Mom knows that you are a filial child. If you want to accompany me, an old man like me, I am naturally happy and have no objection."
"But my old lady is already this age. She might go to see Lian Jie's grandfather one day. Then, my son, what will you do~"
Zheng Fen also felt uncomfortable in her heart and wanted to cry loudly. Only she knew the pain of these years, but this uncultured but very strong woman did not show a trace of her face, and even the broken teeth were buried in her stomach. pharynx.
After that, she suppressed the pain in her heart and comforted her mother-in-law while wiping her tears.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I still have Lian Jie, right? That kid has changed a lot this time!"
When Grandma Qu heard her grandson's name, she burst into tears and smiled. She let go of her daughter-in-law's hand and sighed:
"Lian Jie is a good boy, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed us to go there again and again. My ungrateful son has done one good thing, and that is giving birth to a son like Lian Jie!"
Zheng Fen just smiled and said nothing when she heard this. In her heart, her son was her life. If she hadn't had her son around, she wouldn't have known how she had managed to survive all these years.
"Don't worry when you come to the magic city this time, Mom will definitely not let that woman come to the door!" the old lady said firmly.
Zheng Fen felt happy when she saw her mother-in-law defending herself so much. At the same time, she hesitated for a moment and made a decision:
"Mom, if you really can't do it, just come if she wants to come. Don't make it difficult. It's been so many years, and I've already let go of some things~"
When the old lady heard what her daughter-in-law said, she couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of sin has my son done? My wife doesn't want him, so I have to abandon him!"
Then Grandma Qu said as if to strengthen her belief:
"No matter what, I will never see that woman in my lifetime, and she will never be buried in the ancestral grave of my Qu family."
"And this time we are going to my grandson's home. My eldest grandson bought the house with his own money. Why should she come to the house?"
"Hmm~" Zheng Fen nodded. She was not a saint. What she said just now was certainly not to speak for that woman. She was just afraid that it would be difficult for her ex-husband to do so, which would affect her son's inheritance of the Qu family's business.
