Chapter 95: Ginger is still spicier when old

After taking the photos, the family went to the park to play. Qiu Huoming took his older sister and younger sister to go boating, while Chen Suniang took Qiu Hongling to chat in a pavilion not far away.

Qiu Jianshe had no interest in sightseeing, so he sent them to the park entrance and went back early.

Qiu Hongling's gloves were at Chen Suniang's elbows, and the two of them walked leisurely along the path towards the pavilion.

After all, Chen Suniang was an experienced person. Hongling had just come back yesterday, so she didn't know how to ask anything. So she decided to take this opportunity to interrogate her daughter thoroughly today.

There is only this one park in Wucheng County. Whenever she had a vacation, she would always bring Xiao Hongling here to relax. Her early life was also very difficult, and this place became a rare place for her to relax. Every time she came, she would sit in the pavilion and do nothing, watching her daughter playing beside her, and her heart would slowly calm down.

After entering the pavilion, the two sat side by side.

"Hongling, there is no outsider here. Tell me the truth, is Weidong good to you?" Chen Suniang looked at her daughter's obviously thinner cheeks with heartache. She had some baby fat before, but now her chin is pointed.

Qiu Hongling looked at Chen Suniang and saw the worry that could not be concealed in her eyes. She originally wanted to brush it off with words, but unexpectedly, she started crying as soon as she opened her mouth. She threw herself into Chen Suniang's arms and honestly told her all the grievances she had suffered during this period.

Qiu Huoming and his elder sister sat at the stern of the boat, each holding an oar and rowing slowly forward. The sound of water was shallow. His younger sister sat at the bow and reached out her hand to splash water. Today was Sunday, and there were a few small boats floating sporadically on the creek, each scattered apart. Almost all of them were adults with children.

Generally in the afternoon, teenagers would start fighting with each other on the water. At this time, you should stay away from them. At the very least, you will get splashed with water. At worst, you might get into an argument and fall into the water.

The boat slid slowly into the bridge hole.

Qiu Huoming looked at the line of words he had carved two years ago: [I will reach the top of the world and seduce all the girls in the world]. Next to it was the message from Fatty: [Fatty is here, Huozi, hurry up].

This is so embarrassing. The boat drifts past the relatively clear inscriptions...

It will probably be replaced by new lettering in a few years.

An hour passed quickly, and as my little sister looked on with an unsatisfied look on her face, the boat finally reached the shore.

Qiu Huoming and his group walked along the path towards the pavilion.

After walking for a while, they turned a corner and saw a pavilion standing next to the rockery. Chen Suniang and her daughter were leaning against each other, talking about something. The younger sister ran over and shouted as she ran, "Mom, elder sister, we are back."

The mother and daughter who were snuggling together immediately separated. Chen Suniang reached out and wiped her eyes. Qiu Hongling's eyes were already red and swollen.

The eldest sister vaguely sensed something was wrong, she slowed down her pace and turned to ask Qiu Huoming:

"Brother, is there something wrong with my sister?"

"What else could it be? You married the wrong person." Qiu Huoming glanced at his eldest sister and said hatefully.

"I thought my brother-in-law was a responsible person, so let my elder sister not go back." Qiu Hongye looked ahead with a worried look on her face.

Qiu Huoming looked up on the path and saw the tear marks on their faces in the pavilion. It seemed that Chen Suniang had already gotten the words from her daughter's heart.

In fact, it would be better to put things out in the open. Like in her previous life, Qiu Hongling kept everything in her heart, and her family didn't know where to start even if they wanted to help.

In the pavilion, the little sister ran in, took Qiu Hongling's hand and kept telling her about the boating experience. The originally depressing atmosphere at the scene gradually dissipated a little.

Chen Suniang looked at her little daughter speechlessly. This child was still so short-sighted.

After a while, Qiu Huoming and his elder sister also came in.

The older sister dragged the younger sister outside to see the flowers, and the younger sister followed her out, shouting happily.

Qiu Huoming sat down opposite Chen Suniang and Qiu Hongling, "Mom, my sister's matter..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Suniang, "You are a child, don't get involved in these adult matters, your father and I are still at home."

She leaned over and held Qiu Hongling's hand. "This time, your father and I will take leave to go back with you to see where Hu Weidong wants us to live. If this matter is not handled in time, you will suffer even more after the child is born..."

Perhaps the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He started to curse, "This old thing, wait and see how I deal with her. If that bastard Hu Weidong says anything, you can come back to my parents' home with me. We don't need you and your baby to eat! Let's get a divorce and let our baby take our surname Qiu. I'll kill them!"

Qiu Huoming immediately gave Chen Suniang a thumbs up, thinking that his mother was actually "clearing the court" in disguise.

As expected, the older you get, the wiser you become. With the support of his parents, there is a high probability that his elder sister's problem can be solved. Qiu Huoming breathed a sigh of relief.

My eldest sister's depression, which had lasted for so long, was finally resolved in the two days since she returned home. She smiled and then lowered her head to wipe away her tears. The tears flowed across her red and swollen eyes, causing them pain.

Qiu Huoming added with a smile, "I've been practicing boxing recently. With my height and physique, I can beat two brothers-in-law at once. Don't worry, go ahead and make a scene. If you get upset, just come home. Dad and I will protect you."

"Kid, do I need you to take action?" Chen Suniang glanced at him with disdain and then stood up.

"Huo Ming, go and call the two sisters back. We have to hurry back to make lunch..."

"okay!"

Qiu Huoming strode out of the pavilion and walked along the path to the other side of the rockery, where he saw his elder sister playing with willow branches with his younger sister. Wild flowers that she had picked were scattered on the ground.

Qiu Huoming untied the crooked willow branch in his little sister's hand, and deftly intertwined the willow branches with his hands to form a circle. He picked up the wild flowers on the ground and inserted them into the circle.

Then he placed the freshly-baked crown on the little sister's head. It was just the right size.

The eldest sister smiled and said, "This flower crown is really beautiful."

Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand, "Give me yours too."

He took the willow branch from his eldest sister and followed suit. After the ring was made, he placed it on his eldest sister's head.

"Sister, you are beautiful too." The younger sister looked up and held her flower crown carefully.

"Let's go, Mom is waiting for us in the pavilion." Qiu Huoming clapped his hands.

"Ah? Are we going back?" The younger sister was a little reluctant to leave.

"Aren't you hungry? Big sister is here, there will definitely be something delicious at noon."

"Then let's go back quickly." The younger sister really followed the advice and immediately changed her tone.

The eldest sister pursed her lips to hold back her laughter, and the group began to walk back along the path.

The weather has been good recently, and there are more insects nearby. I even encountered a passing toad on the trail. When people approached, it quickly jumped into the grass.

Not far away, Chen Suniang and Qiu Hongling were already waiting at the intersection.

After a few people met, they started to rush home.

Passing by the vegetable market, Qiu Huoming bought the remaining pork secretly without telling Chen Suniang and asked his younger sister to cover for him. He wrapped it in oil paper, held it in his hand and chased after them excitedly.
