Xu Bing stopped and said to Xu Guoping: "Auntie bought it. Mengmeng's clothes were also bought by her."
"Auntie, which auntie?" Xu Guoping asked.
He thought to himself: If Sun Lan bought it for the children, he would be a little embarrassed to find someone to settle the accounts later.
"Mom bought it!" Mengmeng quickly corrected her brother when she heard that. In her heart, Wu Xia was not her aunt, but Wu Xia was her mother.
"Wu Xia bought it?" Xu Guoping was a little surprised. This woman didn't give the money to her parents' family, but bought something for the children?
Although Xu Bing didn't like Wu Xia, the schoolbag she bought for him made him feel more favorable towards Wu Xia.
When my father asked, he answered directly: "She bought it. I went to the service center to see it. This schoolbag alone costs twelve and a half yuan, and the cute clothes also cost several yuan."
After hearing his son's words, Xu Guoping's body froze.
He remembered what he said to Wu Xia last night. She spent the twenty yuan he gave her on the children. No wonder she said she couldn't help spending money.
And he didn't even ask her where she spent the money, thinking that she gave the money to her parents' family.
These two things cost nearly 20 yuan. How could she still have money to give to her parents? Moreover, she was good to her children from the bottom of her heart, and she even said such words to hurt her. What did she do? !
Thinking of this, Xu Guoping's face became extremely ugly, and he wanted to slap himself.
"Dad, I'm going to school."
Xu Bing waited there for a long time last time, but when he saw that Xu Guoping didn't say anything, he turned around and left the house after saying something to him.
After his son left, Xu Guoping came back to his senses. He said to Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, be good. Play by yourself in the house. Dad will be back soon."
"You haven't said yet whether my new clothes are good or not~" Mengmeng said coquettishly towards her father.
Xu Guoping touched the child's clothes with his hands, feeling increasingly guilty.
"It looks good, it looks really good. Dad made a mistake before. Dad should buy more new clothes for Mengmeng."
Seeing the smile on the child's face, Xu Guoping realized that his previous idea was also wrong. Although it was true that he was living in hardship and simplicity, the child also needed some new clothes.
Looking at the smile on Mengmeng's face, you can tell how much the child likes this dress. If Wu Xia hadn't bought the clothes for the child silently, he might not have realized it at all.
Not only did he owe the children, but he also failed Wu Xia for all his hard work.
Xu Guoping thought to himself as he went to the company. Sun Peng had just finished his morning training. He was holding a washbasin and a white towel on his shoulders to wash his face.
Seeing Xu Guoping coming over, Sun Peng stopped and called him: "Old Xu, I have something to tell you."
His voice sounded a little awkward because of guilt.
Last night, he persuaded Sun Lan to apologize in person and write a letter of guarantee to Ding Wenmin, and then coaxed Ding Wenmin away.
Afterwards, he scolded both Sun Lan and Li Xiulian with a dark face.
Although Sun Lan gritted her teeth and refused to admit that she had done these things, and she glorified the rape as she was afraid that Xu Guoping would be deceived, after all, the two were brothers and sisters who grew up together, and Sun Peng knew it as soon as she heard it. The girl lied.
Finally, he said to Li Xiulian: "It's all you who spoiled her. Fat Sister also sent a message today not to let her stay in the army anymore. Tomorrow I will buy Lanzi a ticket and send her home."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lan burst into tears and said to Sun Peng: "Brother, don't you want me to live? After I go back, they will definitely force me to marry an old man who can't read. How can you bear to let your sister?" Will you live a life that revolves around cooking pots from now on?"
Li Xiulian was also begging for mercy for her daughters. Seeing how pitifully they cried, Sun Peng couldn't bear it.
He gritted his teeth, finally hardened his heart, and said to Sun Lan: "Go and apologize to Wu Xia tomorrow. If she agrees to forgive you, then you will stay in the army for a while. If during this period If you haven’t found a suitable partner yet, you have to go back to your hometown when you should, and you can’t waste any more time here.”
When Sun Lan saw that her brother had agreed to let her stay for a few more days, she quickly nodded and agreed like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Sun Peng let out a long sigh.
Alas, after the girl did such a thing, he didn't know how he would face Xu Guoping tomorrow, and Xu Guoping's wife was obviously not an easy person to talk to. He really didn't know how he would get through this.
No, he hid at the training ground early in the morning, wanting to avoid it first, but he didn't expect to meet Xu Guoping face to face as soon as he came back.
Sun Peng looked at Xu Guoping awkwardly and said, "Old Xu, Wu Xia told me clearly what happened yesterday."
He cleared his throat: "Ahem, Lao Xu, I'm sorry for you."
It was the first time that Xu Guoping saw Sun Peng, a tough man, talking to him in such a low voice, and he couldn't bear it.
He said to Sun Peng: "Why are you apologizing to me? These things are not your doing. It is your sister, what are you going to do?"
He had already thought about it on the way here. He could not let Sun Lan stay in the army this time. Otherwise, Sun Lan might use his evil ideas again and cause real harm to Wu Xia and the children one day.
Sun Peng understood the meaning of Xu Guoping's words and opened his mouth.
He really couldn't say the words to ask the girl to stay.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng changed his words: "I already agreed with them yesterday that Sun Lan will come to the door in person to apologize to Wu Xia today. In addition, I asked my mother to contact her family and start looking for a blind date for Lanzi now. After I find it, I will send her back to her hometown."
He glanced at Xu Guoping's face and saw that his expression was calm, so he added: "She won't be allowed to stay long this time, it will only be ten or eight days in total. Lao Xu, she is also my biological sister. I can't just send her home."
"Wu Xia has gone out, and I will ask Sun Lan to apologize soon. In addition, Xu Bing and Mengmeng will not bother my aunt to take care of them from now on."
Sun Peng blushed a little after hearing this. He almost died when he saw the child in the river when he was looking after it. Xu Guoping was already very restrained in not taking action against him.
"I'll give you the money too." As he said that, he took out the money.
Looking at the money in his hand, Xu Guoping said: "Calculate the days and give me the remaining dates."
"Old Xu, aren't you ashamed of me? I should compensate you for your family members doing such things." After saying that, Sun Peng put the money heavily into Xu Guoping's hands.
Xu Guoping took the money and thought: He will give the money to Wu Xia later. He can't let Wu Xia have to pay for being wronged. He can't give her anything else, he can only give her more money.
At noon, Sun Peng came to Xu Guoping, and the two went to Sun's house together and asked Sun Lan to apologize to Wu Xia.
