Considering that asking her daughter-in-law if she wanted to remarry on the phone seemed a little disrespectful, Qu Jie went to her son's house, opened the door with a spare key, and cooked lunch while waiting for her daughter-in-law to come back.
At half past eleven, Su Wenqi came back from get off work.
When he entered the room, he saw Qu Jie obviously stunned for a moment:
"Mom, why are you here? You didn't even say a word to me, so I could ask for leave and pick you up at the station!"
"It's okay, I just came to see you.
Xiaolei and Xiaoxue are not coming back at noon. They are both eating in the school cafeteria, right? Don't be busy. I have already prepared lunch. Let's sit down and eat lunch first. "
Qu Jie hurriedly started greeting her daughter-in-law.
Clearly wanting to talk at the dinner table.
"Yes, the two of them eat in the cafeteria all the time. The school is a bit far from home, and it's a waste of time to go back and forth. But Mom is really bothering you and asking you to cook."
While saying this, Su Wenqi had already put down her bag.
He walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them were chatting without embarrassment while eating. After finishing the meal, Qu Jie said:
"Wen Qi, I came here this time mainly because I dreamed about Xiao Hai some night ago. Xiao Hai said that you are not old enough and there is no need to guard him. If you meet the right one in the future, it would actually be good to live together.
When I think about it, yes.
Now is not the past, and I am not a pedantic person, so if you have an idea, just say it directly.
I can still help take care of the children. "
At this time, Su Wenqi's face actually looked a little bad: "Mom, where did you hear the gossip?
Don’t worry, and there’s no need to come here to test me. Even if it’s for the sake of my two children, I won’t remarry. I have a son and a daughter. Although I don’t have much money, I can raise my children. There’s no need to find another one. I have to be served by a man, but I am not a masochist, so I have to serve others. "
Before this, her parents had tried to persuade her to remarry, but she did not agree, so she suspected that the news was leaked.
Her mother-in-law found out.
Then he hurried over to ask her.
"Gossip? I haven't heard of it. Don't think too much about it. I really haven't heard any gossip. You also know that I run a paper incense and candle shop, and I have some psychic abilities, so what I just said is not just made up. He said that because he really dreamed of Xiaohai.
I also thought so about Xiao Hai.
So I came here to tell you.
There’s no need to wrong yourself, right…”
Qu Jie didn't know what gossip was about, but she hurriedly revealed more information to make Su Wenqi feel at ease. However, after hearing this, Su Wenqi's eyes immediately turned red, and she was obviously very moved.
It also seemed to increase her belief in widowhood.
Immediately afterwards, Qu Jie chatted with her for a while. At the end of the conversation, he took out a bank card and handed it to her:
"Wenqi, there are three hundred thousand in this card.
The password is six sixes.
You should keep it first, don't make yourself and your two children miserable. My paper-made incense and candle shop is just a business on the surface. In fact, it is also a business of channeling and reading Feng Shui.
The income is not low, but I never told you.
Xiaohai doesn't know either.
The money I earned in the past was a bit shady, so I didn't dare to use it for you. I still remember one time I gave Xiao Hai some money from a psychic, and Xiao Hai fell ill the next day.
It took half a month to recover.
After that, I only dared to use my normal income to support their two children until they became adults and worked.
After Xiaohai passed away, I changed careers and used the money I saved before to invest in other industries. I also made a lot of money recently. I have calculated that there is nothing wrong with this money.
It is equivalent to using capital turnover and popularity.
Eliminate the gloomy atmosphere.
So don’t worry, nothing will happen to you! "
It has to be said that the amount of information revealed by Qu Jie's words was quite a bit. Su Wenqi stayed there and thought about it for a long time.
Only then did he roughly understand what Qu Jie meant.
And then quickly refused:
"Mom, although I think what you said is a little outrageous, I still can't accept this money. You should keep it for your own retirement. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my two children and I to accompany you to fulfill our filial piety in the short term. It’s hard to say, but you’d better keep some money to take care of yourself.”
Su Wenqi didn't believe Qu Jie's words too much. She only thought that the money was most likely her mother-in-law's pension money.
The money at the bottom of the box and the coffin book.
So naturally he is not willing to take it. After all, although the family is missing a pillar, but because there is neither a house loan nor a car loan, it will not become very embarrassing, and daily life can still be maintained.
It is not easy for my mother-in-law to save some money alone.
I don't know how long these lies have been made up.
"Just keep it. This money is really not much. Compared with the money I have saved, it's just a drop in the bucket. This is for now. I have to go to Xiaomei's house to see my son-in-law, so don't give it away. I go first."
After putting down her bank card forcefully again, Qu Jie immediately turned around and left, not giving Su Wenqi any chance to save her.
He went downstairs and went straight to his son-in-law's house.
Although Su Wenqi reluctantly accepted the card, she had no intention of using it. She only planned to keep it and return it to her mother-in-law when she took her two children back to her hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
…
After leaving her daughter-in-law's house, Qu Jie immediately drove non-stop to her son-in-law's house. She didn't have the key to her son-in-law's house, so she had to knock on the door first.
As the person inside opened the door.
Oh, my goodness, a roomful of people.
It was her mother-in-law who opened the door. Also sitting in the room were her father-in-law and son-in-law, a few unrecognizable middle-aged people, and a woman who looked a little younger than her son-in-law.
No matter how I looked at Qu Jie, she felt like she was on a blind date!
This is what she thought and asked:
"Are you on a blind date?"
"Ahem, what about that, mother-in-law, why don't we go out and talk, go out and talk, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's go downstairs to eat, eat lunch first!"
Originally, Qu Jie was just hesitant and suspicious, but when her mother-in-law opened the door, she was basically sure that they were on a blind date. Otherwise, why would she be so guilty?
"No, I came here to eat.
Let's just go on a blind date. Why are you so wary of me because of something shameful? Why, are you afraid that I will cause harm to you? Don't worry, I am a very generous person.
My daughter is also very generous.
Since people are so kind, let's talk openly. Don't hide it. Just say what you have to say. Little girl, don't be afraid. Just sit back and relax. I'm not here to ruin your blind date. .
So, what is the situation now! "
While she was talking, Qu Jie had already pushed aside her mother-in-law who was blocking the door and walked directly in. By the time she finished speaking, she had already walked to the sofa and sat down.
