She quickly got up from the sofa and smoothed out the wrinkled sofa cover.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Yunyun, are you done?"
Jiang Nan replied, "Well, we're done, are you still watching TV?"
Lu Xiaoyue thought Jiang Nan was blaming her, so she awkwardly made excuses, "I don't know how to turn off this color TV. I was afraid of breaking it, so I didn't dare to move it."
Jiang Nan looked at the embarrassed Lu Xiaoyue and smiled, "Look, this is just for watching TV. Let's order some noodles to eat later. After that, I'll take you back to the clothing factory early."
At this time, Lu Xiaoyue learned her lesson and rushed to work, "Sister-in-law, please teach me how to use gas, and I will cook."
"It's okay, you guys can watch some TV and I'll do it."
Just as Jiang Nan was about to enter the kitchen, the phone rang.
She picked up.
It's Qin Feng calling.
Hearing Qin Feng's voice, Jiang Nan asked excitedly, "Fengzi, have you sold out the goods?"
"Sold out."
"Then why did you come to Lancheng? There is another batch in the factory. Do you want to sell it?"
Qin Feng's tone on the other end of the phone was tearful, "My mother found out about my stall, and she beat me up, so I can't come for the time being."
Jiang Nan, "......"
She asked with concern, "Aren't you angry?"
Qin Feng's mother must have been furious when she found out that Qin Feng had been suspended and had submitted a letter of resignation.
Qin Feng sighed, "I'm so angry that I'm still shutting myself in the room now. I was beaten so hard that I became lame."
Jiang Nan didn't believe his lies, "It's not that serious."
Can a mother beat her 20-year-old son until he becomes lame?
Qin Feng's tone was full of helplessness and worry, "Serious, extremely serious, of course it's not important. The key now is my mother. I'm afraid she will be angry with me."
Jiang Nan could tell that Qin Feng was very filial and Qin Feng's mother also cared about Qin Feng's job.
After all, for her, this is not only a job, but also a legacy.
She said, "Communicate well with Auntie and don't make her angry."
"She doesn't want to see me at all now. I can't explain it. You ask Qin Yun to call the canteen at the entrance of my alley and ask my mother to pick up the phone and comfort her."
"Okay, Qin Yun happens to be next to me now. I'll ask her to make a call."
After Qin Feng made the call, he limped home.
He did not dare to disturb his mother and quietly entered the east room where he lived, waiting for the aunt at the canteen to call his mother to answer the phone.
Three days ago, Qin Feng returned to Longshan County from Lancheng. He never went home. He stayed in a guest house in the county at night and set up a stall in the county to sell bed sheets and quilts during the day.
With his previous experience of setting up a stall with Jiang Nan, he was very good at running a stall in Longshan County. He held a small trumpet and shouted in different ways. He was good-looking and good-quality, and soon he was selling in the county town.
He fought his way through the market and gained a firm foothold.
Business is extremely booming.
What Qin Feng didn't know was that in just two days, he had already become famous through word of mouth from all the great masters and aunties.
Many women in the town heard that there was a stall selling sheets and quilts at a low price in the county town, and they all planned to go and have a look.
The items at the market in their town were expensive, with only a few designs and colors, and the quality was average.
It's better to go to the county seat and have a look.
Qin Feng's mother is among them.
She heard neighbors talking about going to the county fair to pick up bargains. She was bored at home and planned to go there too.
Get two new sheets for my son and daughter's beds.
Wait until they come back to stay.
The group of people chatted and laughed, and went directly to the market entrance according to the address provided by an insider in the village.
Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt holding a small loudspeaker to sell food.
"Yes, that's him. Look, there are a lot of them. We have to go to the market to pick them. If we're late, we won't have a good selection."
Qin Feng's mother covered her pocket with money and followed the large group forward.
Suddenly, the neighbor's Aunt Liu said to Qin Feng's mother, "Hey, why does that guy who sets up the stall look so like your Qin Feng?"
Qin Feng's mother rolled her eyes, "How is that possible? My Fengzi is a policeman, not a stall owner."
"Speaking of which, why haven't you seen him recently?" Aunt Liu asked as she left.
Qin Feng's mother looked proud, "He was sent to study in the city."
"Oh, your life is so good. Your daughter has gone to work in the city, and your son is a policeman. When he comes back from studying, he will probably be promoted."
"He is still young and not qualified enough to be promoted."
Qin Feng's mother's tone was full of pride. She chatted with a few neighbors and sisters and walked towards the place where stalls were set up and shouting.
As a result, the closer she got, the uglier her face became.
This... This does look like her son.
No, it's exactly the same.
She even wondered if she had given birth to twins and lost one of them!
"Come from south to north, all the great ladies and ladies who are going to the market, take a look at this bed sheet and quilt cover. If you want the same style as the heroine Liu Huifang's family, we will give you a benefit of 6 yuan for the whole place. The last batch is first come first served...
....”
When she heard the young man's shouting, Qin Feng's mother's face turned even uglier. Even her voice was exactly the same.
Qin Feng's mother didn't say anything, she just watched quietly as he was surrounded by a group of people, collecting money and giving change.
"Hey, aunties, what do you want..."
Qin Feng was halfway through shouting, but he didn't know what he saw. His handsome dark face looked at the intersection with horror, and he stopped talking for an instant.
Now it's too late to close the stall and run for his life.
.......
.
After returning home, Qin Feng knelt in front of his father's photo and received a beating.
After the beating, Qin Feng's mother locked herself in the room.
No matter how Qin Feng knocked on the door, there was only one word: "Get lost".
Not even given a chance to explain.
Qin Feng was afraid that his mother would not be able to think about it, so he called Jiang Nan and asked Qin Yun to call the canteen.
Lancheng.
When Jiang Nan answered Qin Feng's call, Qin Yun was nearby. She heard that her mother had learned about her brother's stall, and she looked worried.
Qin Yun saw that Jiang Nan didn't believe her brother was beaten on the phone just now. She explained, "Sister-in-law, what my brother said is true. My brother made a mistake and my mother would really beat him. And
, beat him to death."
Qin Yun recalled the few times her brother had been beaten since he was a child, but they were unforgettable experiences to this day, and she was really worried about her brother.
Jiang Nan sighed after hearing this, "Your mother must have placed great hopes on your brother."
She didn't know whether Qin Feng's current choice was the right one.
Qin Yun asked Jiang Nan, "Sister-in-law, can I borrow your phone?"
Jiang Nan handed it to her, "Of course, please call my hometown quickly."
Qin Yun's phone call went to the canteen at the entrance of the alley.
The aunt at the canteen went to call someone.
Wait about ten minutes before calling again.
Over at his hometown, Qin Feng secretly peeked through the window and felt relieved when he saw his mother being called away by the aunt at the canteen.
After the call was put through, Qin Feng's mother started crying when she heard her daughter's voice.
Qin Yun heard her mother crying and cried on the phone herself, "Mom, don't blame my brother."
When Qin Feng was mentioned, Qin Feng's mother wiped away her tears and asked, "Yunyun, did you already know that he was going to resign and set up a stall? Are you guys working together to deceive me?"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
As soon as Qin Yun apologized, her mother collapsed even more.
She roared hysterically, "Do you know how difficult it is for me to train your brother? How could you do this? Leave a good policeman to set up a stall and do business? He is going to piss me off to death, and
You, you followed him to lie to me, who allowed him to resign?"
Qin Yun heard her mother's uncontrollable roar on the other end of the phone and was so frightened that she quickly comforted her, "Mom, my brother is only on suspension now, and the resignation procedures should not have been completed yet. Don't be angry. Let's talk to him carefully, or you can go
Speak well to their director, take back the resignation letter for my dad’s sake, and let him continue to work at the police station when the punishment is over.”
"Suspended? Why should we be suspended?" her mother asked in surprise.
Qin Yun looked slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, her brother didn't tell her mother about his suspension.
Is it to hide the fact that she was bullied?
She took the phone and entered the bedroom where she had been making clothes. After a moment of silence, she told her mother what had happened to her.
After speaking, she softly persuaded, "Mom, don't blame my brother. He broke the rules and hit someone just to protect me and vent my anger. I know you want my brother to become a hero like my father.
In my heart, he is a great hero. In order to protect me, he endured so much pressure. He has been suspended from his job for a long time. He used to wander outside until dark every day before returning home. He never dared to tell you because he was afraid.
You worry.
Mom, let’s let my brother do what he likes to do.”
Qin Yun finished speaking carefully, but the other end of the phone was silent and did not respond for a long time.
"Mom?" Qin Yun called her.
"Why are you hiding such a big thing from me? Why are you hiding it from me since you were bullied?"
Qin Yun's mother was so emotional that she shouted heartbreakingly.
Only then did she remember why Qin Yun squatted in the house during that time without going out or talking.
The same goes for Qin Feng. Many acquaintances told her that Qin Feng was wandering the streets with nothing to do. She also explained to others that her son was patrolling the streets.
After listening to Qin Yun's words, Qin Feng's mother knew what her two children had experienced.
She thought she was their patriarch and their god, but when something happened, no one told her.
Qin Yun hurriedly explained, "Mom, I'm afraid you'll be worried."
"Don't blame my brother, okay?" she persuaded softly.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer her question and hung up the phone directly.
