Become a burden in a period novel

Although Wang Jianguo wouldn't let Qin Fang go to her son and daughter's place, he couldn't cut off contact with them either.

Qin Fang is right. His son and Qin Jingchu and Qin Wangshu are brothers. With such older brothers and sisters supporting him, he will definitely go further in the future.

It's a bit of a pity this time, his son is still at school and hasn't come back yet, otherwise he could have met his older brother. Qin Jingchu has never met this younger brother before.

"I... I just wanted to go see them. Xiao Bao is still so young, how could I leave him!" Qin Fang forced a smile.

She didn't know how much Wang Jianguo had actually heard, but since he said that, it meant he didn't want to pursue the matter further.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go make some noodles." Qin Fang wanted to leave Wang Jianguo's sight; now that he was back, she wouldn't be able to leave.

Regardless, their marriage is still going on, so she can't just leave.

"Go ahead, do you have any eggs? Add one for me." After saying that, Wang Jianguo took off his coat, put it on the chair, and then sat down on the sofa.

"Okay." Qin Fang nodded and went to get the noodles.

Wang Jianguo sat on the sofa, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he kept thinking about Qin Jingchu, whom he had just met.

Qin Jingchu has a strong military presence, and he must have been in the army all these years. He probably wasn't laid off during this major downsizing, which means he must have been doing quite well in the military.

He's been selling all sorts of goods lately, and his eyesight is much better than before; Qin Jingchu's clothes don't look cheap at all.

Wang Jianguo overheard much of what they were saying. He and Qin Fang thought similarly: even if Qin Jingchu really didn't want to acknowledge Qin Fang as his mother, he still had to consider the impact on his workplace.

He had given up on Wang Li. Her in-laws were not easy to deal with, and even though Wang Li had given birth to two children for them, they didn't seem to value her much.

Besides, Wang Li has always been prejudiced against her younger brother, so it's really too difficult to get her to take care of him!

Although Qin Jingchu and Qin Wangshu had never met their younger brother, they still had Qin Fang as their mother. If those two were doing well, their son would definitely benefit from it.

It seems he still needs to appease Qin Fang so that she can wholeheartedly reap the benefits from that side.

It's impossible for Qin Fang to abandon them and live a good life. Even if she wanted to go, she would have to take them with her.

Wang Jianguo had initially grown tired of Qin Fang because of the other woman, but now that he saw an opportunity to make money, he was ready to go home and settle down with Qin Fang.

Qin Jingchu was unaware that his visit had such an effect; he was waiting for his comrade to come out of his unit.

"Sigh, were you waiting impatiently? I suddenly had some things to take care of and just finished." Qin Jingchu's comrade was very tall and wore a police uniform, but the uniform looked wrinkled.

"It's alright, I just arrived not long ago, and besides, I don't have anything planned for today, so waiting a little longer won't hurt. Let's go eat, I'll treat you to a restaurant!" Qin Jingchu put her hand on his shoulder.

"That's so generous! I'm going to have to treat you to a big meal today!"

"Yeah, don't try to save me money!" Qin Jingchu said with a smile, his frustration from the Wang family earlier dissipating considerably when facing his comrade.

Qin Jingchu's comrade-in-arms had been retired from the army for several years and was now the director of a police station. However, it was also clear that he had neglected his exercise, as he had developed a protruding belly.

Qin Jingchu hadn't been back for many years and wasn't familiar with the area, so his comrade led him to a small restaurant. Once inside, he skillfully ordered his food and then found a table to sit down.

Qin Jingchu sat down and said, "I'd like a bottle of wine. You can have some with me."

His comrade originally wanted to tease Qin Jingchu, since he had never drunk alcohol before, but he noticed that Qin Jingchu's expression was off, so he didn't say anything and went directly to ask the shopkeeper for a bottle of wine.

"Is one bottle enough?" his comrade asked. Qin Jingchu seemed to want to "get rid of all his troubles by drinking," so could one bottle be enough for the two of them?

“I’m free this afternoon, but you still have to go to work. One bottle is enough,” Qin Jingchu said with a smile.

He still prefers spending time with his comrades, where he can talk about anything and completely trust them.

After bringing the wine over, his comrade sat down opposite Qin Jingchu. "You've had quite a long leave. By the way, what's the situation now? Do you have a girlfriend?"

As he spoke, he opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for both Qin Jingchu and himself.

"Not yet. This time it's my sister's wedding. You know her, Yang Mingye, do you remember him?"

"He married your sister! But you're so unfair! You kept saying you had a sister, but you never introduced her to us. Now Yang Mingye has taken advantage of you!" His comrade raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Jingchu's. "But why didn't you tell us they got married?"

"It's too far. They got married in Beijing, and Mingye's hometown is also far away, so we didn't notify you." Qin Jingchu drank the wine he had poured.

"Don't rush to drink, the food hasn't been served yet!" He only took a sip, but Qin Jingchu drank the whole glass.

It seems he wants to get drunk today; anyone would react this way if they had such a terrible mother.

Qin Jingchu had previously asked him to investigate his family affairs, and he had investigated thoroughly and naturally knew exactly what had happened. Now, judging from Qin Jingchu's attitude, it was unlikely that the investigation would go very smoothly.
