"Dad, I'm back."
Qin Nan's father is a teacher. He has actually retired, but he is still idle to supplement the family income. He still often goes to school to teach as a substitute.
As for Qin's mother, she passed away before, leaving father and daughter now dependent on each other.
Qin Nan now runs a sewing machine stall, and usually helps people mend clothes. As a self-employed person, he can't make much money, so he can barely make ends meet.
It was also with Gao Zhihua's help that she finally found a place to stay, otherwise she would have been rejected and driven away by blocking the road.
"Come back...ahem...is this Dongdong?" Qin's father straightened his crew cut and wore glasses. He looked a bit elegant like an intellectual. When he saw the child who came in with his daughter, he immediately reacted and revealed A kind smile.
It's not that he has never seen each other before, but Dongdong was still in his infancy at that time, and Qin Nan has been the one to see him all these years. Because he was not in good health and was not suitable to travel far, he had a deep affection for Dongdong. A feeling that is both strange and familiar.
"Dongdong, call me grandpa."
Dongdong shouted loudly, which immediately made Qin's father smile. He touched his body, looked around again, and finally found two candies and stuffed them into the child's hands.
After settling the child, Qin's father called Qin Nan aside, avoided his grandson and whispered: "Qin Nan, have you really thought about it carefully?"
Qin Nan had told him about this before, and compared to this grandson who didn't have much affection for him, and who was a little complicated to him because of Meng Bin, he was naturally more worried about his daughter's ability to bear it.
Qin Nan smiled calmly and said, "Dad, I have thought about it very clearly."
Father Qin was obviously concerned about another thing, "Xiao Gao treats you..."
"Dad!" This time Qin Nan interrupted before he could finish. She knew that Gao Zhihua seemed to have a good impression of her, and she was very grateful for his help.
In fact, she also has some affection for Gao Zhihua, but this does not involve the relationship between men and women.
What's more, she is very sober and knows that given her situation, she is not suitable to be with Gao Zhihua at all.
Even if he was temporarily dazzled by the so-called love, he still had family and mother. Gao's mother would definitely not agree to their being together.
The most important thing is that Gao Zhihua is still unmarried. Qin Nan feels a little inferior to his own situation and is unwilling to delay the other party because of his relationship. He deserves a better partner, not a woman like himself with a shameful past.
"You...sigh!" Qin's father sighed, shook his head and naturally stopped trying to persuade him.
In his heart, he really hopes that his daughter can let go of the past and find a good home. He thinks Gao Zhihua is quite good. He has heard people talk about that child's character.
But he also understood Qin Nan's concerns. They really couldn't drag others into their own "fire pit" because of their own selfishness.
"Right..." Qin Nan suddenly thought about Meng Bin, but when he was about to say it, he hesitated for a moment, but then swallowed it back.
"how?"
"Dongdong is sick. I brought him here this time with the intention of taking him to see a doctor."
She had already made up her mind. Anyway, the two sides hadn't been pierced yet, so she pretended that she didn't know about those things. After taking Dongdong to see the doctor, she went over to let him take a look, and then she understood everything.
When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to move the sewing stall out, so as not to cause embarrassment by leaving it there.
Now that he had made up his mind, Qin Nan did not shy away from it. After checking at the hospital to confirm that the condition was stable for the time being, and then finding time for a review, Qin Nan held Dongdong's hand and walked directly on the street.
Naturally, familiar neighbors will inevitably ask, "Hey, whose child is this?"
Qin Nan recognized the woman who liked to spread gossip. He hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Oh, he's my child."
The other party's expression immediately changed, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "Your child?"
Qin Nan just nodded and responded with a faint smile on his face, calm and firm.
Dongdong looked up at her, then looked at her
The aunt across from me didn't understand what was going on.
But the way the other person looked at him clearly made him feel uncomfortable.
Qin Nan said again: "Do you have anything else? If not, I'll leave first."
"Oh, oh..." There is nothing else to do at this time. All I want to do is go back and spread gossip.
So rumors started like this. When they learned that Qin Nan suddenly had a child, people who had talked about her behind her back before could not hold back and started to show off their foresight.
"That's weird. I've never heard of her getting married. Why did she suddenly have such a big child?"
"Ye Z, it must be Ye Z!"
Even Qin's father and Qin's mother were involved: "I think the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Was it because her mother did something shameful and was discovered by her father, so..."
People who spread gossip often only care about their own entertainment and never consider that these words can actually be turned into knives and cause harm to others.
What's more, these people often regard themselves as a righteous party. In their opinion, we are not allowed to discuss it after you have done it. If you can, it's better to keep yourselves clean.
In fact, who in this world can guarantee that he is a saint and will not make any mistakes?
Apart from illegal and criminal matters that endanger others and society, what does the private affairs of other people's families have to do with outsiders? What's more, they are not for any so-called just purpose, they are just talking fast, or sometimes... It's just out of jealousy that you don't want others to be kind to you.
There are all these families in the streets and alleys. No one can see each other when they look up, and no one knows who is who.
Suddenly something like this naturally becomes big news.
Qin Nan didn't find Gao Zhihua and didn't tell him about it for the time being, but Gao's mother got the reminder from others and knew about it first.
So as expected, he began to restrict his son's contact with him.
It's not that she regards her son as a treasure, it's just that her own child is loved by her family, and she has never been married. Although Qin Nan doesn't know if she has ever been married, but even the child is so old, who knows what good things were like in the past? Aren't they all just pretending?
She knows people but doesn't know their hearts. She used to think that Qin Nan treated her well when he was good, but now that he is prejudiced against her, she feels that she doesn't like him no matter what.
It's just that the old lady doesn't have a ruthless temper. She just doesn't think about finding her as her daughter-in-law anymore, and that's all she needs to do to restrain her son.
Although Gao Zhihua didn't want to listen to her, he also had some doubts about Qin Nan having a child.
What deterred him even more was actually the fact that Qin Nan had kept a distance from him since he came back this time.
Although in the past, Qin Nan always kept a distance from him, was unwilling to accept his benefits easily, and always wanted to help to make up for it - that's why Gao Mu fell more and more in love with her, and felt that this Hello kid.
But now it's obviously a little different, more like, don't let strangers in.
Gao Zhihua couldn't understand. He didn't know if he had done something or if something happened to Qin Nan.
Of course, Qin Nan could feel the poignant comments behind her. When she came back, Qin's father also told her that he had heard some people discussing it at school, so he came home early because he didn't want to stay in school and be looked at like a monkey.
It felt uncomfortable to be at the center of public opinion, so she naturally didn't want to involve Gao Zhihua, who had nothing to do with it.
Now I just hope that everyone will get tired of this topic sooner or later, and the rumors will gradually subside over time.
As long as you ignore it, nothing will happen.
That's what she was thinking, but things obviously wouldn't go as planned.
