Chapter 516 Tell the truth
"I just saw my aunt playing mahjong in the chess and card room. Qi Han was pushed down by another kid and fell into the mud."
After Wu Yilu finished speaking, Grandma Qi Han hurriedly patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Don't be angry."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then realized she might have said something wrong. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where's Qihan's dad? Is he still working overtime?"
"You didn't see him?" Qi Han's grandmother's expression suddenly changed. "They went together."
Oh no... Wu Yilu was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe. Words really cause trouble. She wanted to slap herself twice and looked at Grandma Qi Han for help.
Qi Han's grandmother was very dissatisfied with her son-in-law's behavior, but for the sake of her daughter's family harmony, she thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and continued to persuade him:
"Don't be angry, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your health."
Qi Han's mother's face was overcast. She picked up her phone and dialed her husband's number. "Where are you?"
"I'm waiting for my son at the cram school. You take a good rest. I'll take care of him..."
"Shut up!" Qi Han's mother yelled, "Take the child home!"
Qi Han's father was confused. His poker friend asked, "What's wrong... Did your wife ask you to go back?" The man snorted disdainfully, "You heard it all, and you're still asking?"
The card player across from him hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Your wife is in confinement now, so you can go back first."
After Qihan's father left, his poker friend spat, "He's not a real man!"
Player 2: "When he called me, I told him not to come, but he was still stubborn. Now we've only been playing for over an hour, and he left after just one phone call from his wife. It's so boring!"
Player 3: "Let's avoid him from now on. I'm going to try to find someone else now."
Qi Han's father passed by the gate of the community and saw his mother excitedly showing off that the second baby was a boy, while he had to rush home halfway. He suddenly felt unbalanced and walked into the chess and card room to ask:
"Where are the people from Qihan?"
"Playing in the neighborhood," the woman said, then paused. "Bang!"
The man looked impatient and said in a more serious tone, "His mother was anxious for me to take him home and even got angry at me. I don't know what happened."
"Huh?" Qi Han's grandmother immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked a spectator to play a game for her. She walked over to her son and whispered, "I just saw Xiao Wu coming. Qi Han just happened to be looking for me after falling down and getting covered in mud."
The mother and son looked at each other and immediately understood.
Qi Han's grandmother stamped her foot. "That Xiao Wu, what a fool he is!" The woman regretted not checking with Wu Yilu. What was she doing when Xiao Wu left? The woman's eyes darted around, frantically searching her memory. That's right! She was playing with a straight line, and it was a mess.
"How about... Mom goes back with you?"
The man waved his hands and said, "No, no, you can continue playing. I am enough to take the scolding alone."
After saying this, Qi Han's father turned and left. Qi Han's grandmother returned to the card table, feeling very nervous.
Wu Yilu was also very nervous. After Qihan's mother finished the call, she saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly found an excuse to leave Xia Qihan's house.
The woman took the elevator to the first floor and was bumped by a man coming towards her. She felt a sharp pain in her body and heard a sharp whistle in her ears. She turned around in surprise, "You..."
Qi Han's father had a fierce look on his face and stared at the woman with sidelong eyes.
The man knew it was her... Wu Yilu smiled awkwardly and trotted out of the community where Xia Qihan's family lived.
The woman returned home and while showering discovered a large bruise on her shoulder. The bruises were of varying shades, with the purple-red bruise occupying the largest area. She looked up at herself in the mirror, her eyes filled with fatigue and confusion.
The facts are before us. Those who lie maliciously retaliate against those who tell the truth. Those who tell the truth have to reflect on themselves and wonder whether they should continue to tell the truth... Obviously, for Wu Yilu, the answer is no.
The next day after get off work, Wu Yilu was buying vegetables at a fruit and vegetable store near the community. She ran into Qi Han's grandmother chatting with a few aunts. She greeted them with a blushing face, but they reacted the same way as Qi Han's father and glared at her.
Aunt Qian knew it was her... Wu Yilu smiled awkwardly and continued to pick vegetables in the store.
"Some people can't stand other people's good lives and like to whisper in their ears," Qi Han's grandmother complained.
"I heard your daughter-in-law got mad last night?" The fat lady said with a gossipy look on her face. "I heard Grandma Liu downstairs complain to the property manager. She said your family was very noisy last night. There were frequent bangs on her ceiling, and it kept her awake."
"Don't listen to her nonsense. We went to bed early last night and didn't have any argument at all. Grandma Liu is also a gossipy woman."
The fat lady frowned, her expression full of confusion, as if she was wondering who was telling the lie between Grandma Liu and Aunt Qian.
Aunt Qian felt uneasy being stared at, so she quickly made an excuse: "Xiao Wu, have you finished your shopping?"
"Huh?" Wu Yilu was confused. "I've bought it..."
Aunt Qian waved at her and said, "Then come with me quickly. Qi Han said he has a math problem that he can't solve and wants to ask you for help."
"Oh, okay." Wu Yilu really believed Aunt Qian's words. She had taught Qi Han his homework before. "Auntie, Qi Han..."
"You can go now." Aunt Qian turned around, her face full of annoyance.
The woman paused, her eyes filled with confusion.
Her dazed look caused Aunt Qian's dissatisfaction, "Don't always look so silly. If you hadn't told tales, Qi Han's mother wouldn't be so angry."
"Auntie..." Wu Yilu looked guilty, "I really didn't mean to do this. I just got carried away. Besides, I didn't know Qihan was going to the cram school to do his homework."
"Sigh..." Aunt Qian sighed heavily. "Qi Han's grandmother is here to take care of him, so I have a few days off and can't help but want to play a little. It doesn't matter if I get scolded. I'm mainly worried about their relationship."
Wu Yilu quickly assured: "I will definitely not talk nonsense in the future, Auntie, don't be angry."
"Forget it..." Aunt Qian waved her hand. "Do you want to come to my house? I'll make lotus root and pork ribs soup tonight."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been pardoned. She held up the plastic bag in her hand and said, "I'm afraid I can't today. I have a dinner meeting with colleagues. I'll go to your house next time."
Wu Yilu glanced at Aunt Qian beside her, who was already in tears. Ever since she accidentally let the cat out of the bag last time, she had tried to avoid contact with Xia Qihan's family. So Aunt Qian's initiative to find her this time was completely unexpected.
What surprised her even more was that Erbao was missing...
