Jia Xiufang now listens particularly to her eldest daughter, she herself hasn’t realized that she’s already starting to rely on Qian.
"Qian’er, how do you suggest we handle your brother?"
"After school starts, don’t let him go to school, give him a month of sick leave, leave of absence I’ll figure out, I’ll send him sowhere."
"Why delay his classes for sothing?"
"That rascal son of yours, does it really matter if he misses class or not?"
Jia Xiufang was silent, Chen was among the bottom three in the class, no, in the entire grade group, so going to school really wasn’t very aningful.
"What exactly do you want your brother to do?"
"I’ll find him so work, he’ll be able to earn money and be filial to you."
"You must be joking, how old is your brother? Which employer hires child labor? Besides, even adults are laid off now, what can a kid do? Moreover, with his unruly nature, he doesn’t even want to go to school, do you think he’d want to work?"
"He’ll definitely be willing for this job, and they’ll use him, Mom, you can trust , leave this matter to , I guarantee this brat won’t go astray in the future, but there’s one thing, you can’t feel sorry for him, I’m sending him away for a month, you’re not allowed to ask where he goes, I’ll let you call once a week, no matter how much this brat cries to you, you’re not allowed to be soft-hearted."
"This..."
"Mini skirts, Night Shanghai, little thugs with dragon tattoos on their bodies..." Pavlov’s conditioned reflex, go!
"Alright, you handle it, just make sure your brother isn’t in danger."
With this kind of brat son, treating a dead horse like a living horse is the only option, can’t control him at ho anyway.
Qian was just waiting for this sentence.
The two of them lay on their own beds, Qian was pondering how to deal with Chen Zilong, when suddenly she heard a clatter from the window!
She twitched her lips, no way...
"What was that noise, is it hailing?" Jia Xiufang heard it too.
"No, nothing! You lie down, I’m going to the bathroom, it might be cats outside making noise."
Only female cats make noise, but Qian was certain the one causing a racket outside was male...
"Qian’er! There’s a bathroom inside the house, where are you going?"
"Well, I’m going downstairs to buy so gum."
Qian found a random excuse and sneaked out like a thief.
She looked around, didn’t see anyone.
They were staying in a coastal feature townhouse, the yard gate was open but soone was watching it, that guy who likes to use a slingshot to hit people’s glass shouldn’t be able to sneak in.
But that sound was clearly—ah!
Qian suddenly felt a hand cover her mouth from behind, she was startled, in the middle of the night, standing at the inn entrance, could it be a bad guy?
"It’s ." A familiar voice sounded in her ear.
This... shaless man!
She had told him she was staying with her mom, and yet he still dared to use a slingshot to hit the glass!
And to make such a frightening entrance, scaring her!
Turning around, she punched him in the stomach, stepped on his foot, kicked his leg bend!
Yu Minglang grunted from her flowery fists and embroidered kicks, grabbed her little fist, wanted to kiss it at his lips, but ended up getting bitten by the furious woman!
This truly hurt, Yu Minglang behaved himself.
Qian saw the "watch imprint" she left on his hand from biting, which eased her anger a bit, serves him right for scaring people with his night raids, he deserved it!
"How did you get in?" she asked in a low voice.
Yu Minglang gestured at the surrounding wall, could this height really stop him?
Qian whispered while speaking softly, occasionally glancing up to ensure her mom didn’t notice.
"This is a visual blind spot, she can’t see." He was so ticulous, seeking praise!
Qian was infuriated by his shalessness, stepped on his foot a few more tis, and pushed him aside, yet this shaless creature moved back, wagging his tail like a puppy.
"Why are you here!"
"Just wanted to see you."
So, he climbed the wall and hit the glass, just to see her for a mont?
Qian really didn’t know what to say.
Yu Minglang pulled out a box from his pocket, stuffed it into Qian’s hand, she felt it was hard, looked down, and raised her eyebrows.
"Canned food?"
"Five-spice beef can, it’s the best tasting one from our rations."
He t soone from an old unit today, knowing he missed this flavor, they had brought him a whole box, and he picked his favorite to give her.
Bringing a can to gift a woman... Qian thought, besides him, nobody else would do this.
"Really, have it yourself." For typical girls, a gift from a steel-hearted man wouldn’t be appreciated, but... Qian wasn’t a typical girl, she was a mature woman.
He had so much money, if he were to give sothing, it should be bags, watches, or flowers, giving cans to other girls, wouldn’t they misunderstand?
Qian felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"No worries, I have other ones." Although this was the only one of this flavor, he just wanted to give it to her.
The best, all wanted to be given to her, hers, hers, all hers.
A not-so-valuable can, which held significant value to him, he didn’t say, but she understood, at this mont, it represented an intention.
"Alright, then I’ll keep it."
Keeping it, representing a clear aning, he understood, she understood too.
Clever people don’t need to spill the beans, understanding is enough.
"I have to catch a flight for a business trip later, won’t be able to co see you, be careful while you’re out, if anything cos up, reach out to Hai Zhao."
"Okay... you be careful too."
"Silly girl, I’ll be fine." He patted her head, then coolly climbed the wall and left again.
Qian watched him leave, her eyes smiled, "Only you call silly."
With her intelligence, she could beat a crowd.
Jia Xiufang saw her daughter return, holding a small tin box in her hand.
"What’s that?"
"Canned food."
"Does the downstairs convenience store still have this stuff? I’m a bit hungry, open it, I’ll eat it with bread." Jia Xiufang sat up.
Qian silently hugged the canned food tightly, pulled out so rations from her bag, "Mom, I’ll make you instant noodles with sausage, this oily canned food, I’ll eat it myself."
"This girl, hoarding food?" Jia Xiufang laughed.
Others can have everything else, but this is what he scraped out from between his teeth, no one but her can eat it.
Qian held the heavy canned food in her hands, afraid her mom would steal so while she wasn’t looking, got up to make instant noodles for her mom.
Chen Zilong returned past midnight, Qian had not slept at all, when she heard footsteps in the hallway, she got up.
"Sis, how co you’re not asleep?" Chen Zilong saw Qian co out.
"I want to talk to you."
"If you want to scold , spare ." He just couldn’t stand won nagging.
Qian kicked him on the butt, causing Chen Zilong to lean forward onto the door as he was opening it.
After opening the door, Qian entered the room, it was smaller than her and her mom’s, cheaper, she wasn’t willing to spend much on a rascal.
This kid only knew how to play gas, he hadn’t noticed these details either.
Qian sat on the couch inside the room, Chen Zilong sat on the bed and yawned.
"Sis, what do you want to say, hurry up, I’m sleepy."
"Do you want, to not go to school, and play gas every day? Play gas, and have soone pay you!"
"What?! Sis, what did you say!" Chen’s voice was excited, instantly sitting up straight.
