Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 103: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (22)

I played in Crescent Bay for three or four days and returned home before the National Day.

As it was a holiday, there were a lot more people in Wanyu Town, including those who went home to celebrate the holidays and tourists who came to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

The hotels and B&Bs in the town were full of people, and the mountain stream where the mother and son often went to cool off could be seen with many young people camping or hiking.

Sister Guo's son-in-law also rushed over and bought many gifts as if to apologize. He said a lot of nice things, saying that it was all his fault and asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law not to blame Xiaoqian.

The Guo couple's attitude of admitting their mistakes was good, and they calmed down a bit. In the evening, they invited Wenxiu and Wenjin to their home for dinner.

Guo's daughter Xiaoqian has an ordinary appearance, but her husband is a handsome man. He is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he speaks generously and smiles at everyone he sees.

Seeing the guests coming, he immediately served Wen Xiu and Wen Jin water and tea, and handed them the cut fruit plate. Because he was good-looking, he did not feel flattering when doing these things, and anyone who saw him would praise him as a good son-in-law.

Sister Guo was cooking in the kitchen, and her daughter Xiaoqian was sitting on the sofa peeling a pomegranate for Wen Jin. When Xiaoqian's husband saw this, he immediately took the pomegranate from his wife's hand and started peeling it for both of them.

Xiaoqian's mood was much better than when she first arrived. Seeing Wenxiu looking at her, she smiled shyly and said, "I'm not very skilled at peeling pomegranates. He used to peel them for me at home."

Wenxiu smiled.

Neither Xiaoqian nor her father are outgoing, but Xiaoqian's husband is. He took the initiative to talk to Wenxiu: "I heard from Mom that you majored in nutrition? You gave me a lot of good prescriptions. Xiaoqian looks much better at home than she did over there. Thank you for taking care of her."

"You're welcome. We're neighbors, and Sister Guo has helped me a lot." Wenxiu replied politely.

"I'm usually busy with work. This time Xiaoqian is here to take care of her pregnancy. I can rest assured that her parents and you are taking care of her." As the man spoke, his hands moved skillfully. He peeled a bowl of pomegranates for Xiaoqian and Wen Jin respectively. It seemed that he often peeled pomegranates for Xiaoqian at home.

During the meal, Xiaoqian's husband was busy all the time, picking up dishes and serving soup to Xiaoqian. When Xiaoqian finished her soup and just turned her head, he handed her a tissue. He took care of her in every possible way.

During the meal, the young man asked for Wenxiu's contact information, saying that he wanted to ask Wenxiu for advice on how to make some nutritious soup so that he could make it for Xiaoqian.

After dinner, the two said goodbye.

Contrary to what Wenxiu had expected, the young husband was a polite person. After adding her, he only added his name and said hello, and never bothered Wenxiu again.

System: [Host, you're overthinking it. I think Hu Hao is a good husband.]

Wenxiu remained silent.

The system then said: [Young couples are bound to have conflicts. You can't be prejudiced against them based on preconceived notions.]

Wenxiu still did not express her opinion.

She had also been to many brothels and met all kinds of men. Some of them had lust written on their faces, some showed it on their bodies, and a small number of them hid it in their hearts.

It's just that she doesn't like to interfere in matters other than the mission. As for Xiaoqian's unsuitable match, as long as she is not provoked, she doesn't want to remind Guo Jiabai and cause trouble for him.

For the entire holiday, Hu Hao stayed at Guo's house to accompany Xiaoqian. Occasionally, when they met for a walk after dinner, it was Hu Hao who was also accompanying Xiaoqian. The two families greeted each other from a distance.

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Wenxiu was preparing ingredients for dinner in the kitchen when the doorbell suddenly rang.

It’s Hu Hao.

He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Wenxiu, I was just about to collect the clothes, but I found that the wind was so strong that some clothes were blown to your backyard."

The two courtyards were close to each other, and it was not uncommon for clothes to end up next door. Wenxiu invited Hu Hao in through the gate. Originally, she just wanted him to wait, but Hu Hao followed her. She had no choice but to lead him into the house and pour him a glass of water.

"Why are you here? Where are Xiaoqian and Sister Guo?"

Hu Hao was amazed at the unique soft furnishings inside the Wen family's house, and the exquisite green plants and handmade ornaments that could be seen everywhere.

"Oh, Xiaoqian is watching TV in the house, and my parents are cooking in the kitchen. Mom asked me to put away the clothes, and I just found them in your yard."

I was surprised from the entrance all the way to the living room. Before I could recover from the complicated and exquisite living room, what came into view was a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass. Outside the door was a spacious backyard full of plants of different heights.

Wenxiu saw that there were indeed a few pieces of clothes left in the backyard. She opened the door, went out to pick them up one by one, and handed them to Hu Hao.

Hu Hao quickly thanked him and asked, "Sister Wenxiu, your home's decoration is really unique. I've never seen this style before—how should I put it, natural and ecological?"

Wenxiu was amused, and Hu Hao didn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly returned to the next room.

Since then, Hu Hao began to occasionally send WeChat messages to Wenxiu, asking her how to make some soups to reduce heat. Out of politeness, Wenxiu replied.

Perhaps Wenxiu's reply was like the wind that fanned the flames. Hu Hao sent messages more and more frequently, sometimes asking some parenting questions.

His eldest daughter was born not long ago and is being taken care of by her parents. As a first-time father, it is normal that he doesn't understand much, but the frequency of his messages has even silenced the system.

One night, Wenxiu received a half-length photo from him, but he quickly withdrew the photo and sent her a photo of a child vomiting, asking Wenxiu what to do.

Such an operation made the system speechless: [What's wrong with this man? ]

Wenxiu couldn't stop laughing. What did the child's vomiting have to do with her? So she casually replied. The other party immediately asked: "It's so late, sister Xiuxiu, are you still awake?"

Wenxiu didn't reply, so the other person added, "I'm so sorry to bother you so late. This is my first time being a father, and I don't know how to handle a child spitting up."

When Xiaoqian gave birth to this daughter, perhaps due to her physical condition, she could not produce milk no matter how much crucian carp soup she drank. Now her eldest daughter drinks milk powder.

Wenxiu replied that he should ask his parents.

My mother said I was breastfed and rarely spit up milk.

[Xiuxiu, are you breastfeeding or feeding with formula?]

system:......

Wenxiu replied bluntly: [Why don’t you ask your mother-in-law this question?]

The other party immediately replied: [Sorry, that’s not what I meant. I was just wondering if it was a problem with the milk powder.]

No matter what messages the other party sent, I didn't reply.

After several days, Hu Hao didn't send any messages to Wenxiu.

At the weekend, the doorbell rang again at the Wen family's house.

Wenxiu was taking a shower on the second floor and it was Wen Jin who opened the door.

In the afternoon, I was giving Xuebing a bath in the backyard. The dog was restless and splashed water all over Wenxiu. It felt uncomfortable for the dog to stick to my body, so I took a bath myself. As soon as I came out of the bath, I saw Hu Hao sitting on the sofa in the leisure area on the second floor, flipping through a book by Wenxiu.

Hearing the voice, Hu Hao turned around and saw Wenxiu, and immediately showed a familiar and harmless smile.

"Sister Xiuxiu, so you also like to read this book?" Hu Hao was holding a copy of "Perfume" written by Patrick Suskind in his hand.

Wenxiu gave him a cold look, then looked out the window. Wen Jin was playing with the dog in the yard.

Hu Hao said to himself: "When I first met you, you also had a very nice fragrance, but you don't use perfume, right?"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, it's like this. Mom and Dad took Xiaoqian for a prenatal check-up, and I planned to make some soup for Xiaoqian." Hu Hao smiled again, and his smile was like that of a kind father and a considerate husband.

"You saw that photo, right?" Hu Hao asked.

"I offended you like that. I thought you would tell my parents about me." Hu Hao said, "You didn't do that. Why? Do you also enjoy talking to me like that?"

Wen Xiu said, "What's offensive? Sending me a picture of your skinny body?"

Hu Hao's face darkened.

Wenxiu's hair was still wet, and the water droplets soaked her thin coat. Hu Hao stared at her without any hesitation, breathing heavily.

Wenxiu knew what he was looking at. She walked over to sit opposite Hu Hao, crossed her legs, and had a dull expression on her pretty face, with her tone flat.

"Leave now and I'll pretend I didn't hear any of this."

Hu Hao smiled: "But I don't want to leave, Sister Xiuxiu."

"The first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted by your temperament. I know that I am married, but I don't love Xiaoqian. I have always liked women who are older than me.

That day you appeared in front of me in a lavender dress, your temperament was so gentle and soft, you sat there, I could even smell your fragrance through Xiaoqian.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you are so beautiful. You look so beautiful when you smile... Now you look even better without smiling. I know you don't have a husband. If you want, you can treat me as your husband. I will treat you well and Xiaojin well—"

Before Hu Hao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wen Xiu's sneer.
