Chapter 1014: We Shall Never Meet Again

Qian Hongyan didn't expect Old Mrs. Xiao to turn against her at this time.

She pointed to the few large plastic bags of food and said aggrievedly: "Mom, you brought back so much food, what's wrong with letting me eat a couple of bites? I've been hungry for so long..."

Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "If you want to eat, go out and earn money yourself. Relying on an old woman like me to support you, do you have any shame?!"

Qian Hongyan became anxious and blurted out: "That's because I was cheated by Xiao Changkun! Otherwise, I would earn more than you as a cashier!"

Old Mrs. Xiao curled her lips: "Whether you earn more or less has nothing to do with me. You earn yours, I earn mine. Neither of us should take advantage of the other, so don't even think about eating the food I brought back. If you want to eat, go earn it yourself!"

Qian Hongyan looked at her with grief and indignation and blurted out: "Old lady, you're going to kick me while I'm down, right? If you push me too far, I'll run away from home!"

Old Mrs. Xiao laughed and clapped her hands: "Oh, that's really great. Hurry up and leave. I'd love to buy a string of firecrackers to celebrate if you leave! If it weren't for Wu Donghai stopping me, I would have let you roll out of our house long ago. Would I still keep you by my side as an eyesore? Since you want to leave yourself, Wu Donghai certainly won't blame me. That's really great!"

Qian Hongyan gritted her teeth: "Fine! You old thing, let's wait and see!"

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Grandma, don't hold it against Mom. She's also been hungry for so long, just let her eat a little!"

"Let her eat?" Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "Even if I poured it all out to feed the dogs, I wouldn't let her eat a single bite!"

After saying this, Old Mrs. Xiao added: "Give the food to me, you go get the bowls and chopsticks. The four of us will eat here, and let her just watch!"

Qian Hongyan cried out and cursed angrily: "Old Mrs. Xiao, I married into your Xiao family and gave birth to children for your Xiao family. Now you won't even let me eat a bite of food, you really have no conscience!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said with disdain: "If you want to eat, just find a way yourself. Aren't you quite good at hooking up with wild men? Go out and hook up again! Maybe you can hook up with a big shot!"

"You..." Qian Hongyan was both ashamed and angry.

The old lady always liked to use her time in the black coal mine to insult her, but she couldn't find any powerful way to refute it.

So, she could only stomp her feet hatefully and gritted her teeth: "From today on, I, Qian Hongyan, am breaking all ties with you Xiao family members!"

After saying this, she slammed the door and went back to her room.

Xiao Changgan had long since lost any feelings for Qian Hongyan, so he said nothing at all, hoping that Qian Hongyan would disappear quickly.

But Xiao Hailong beside him felt a little bit of pity.

Although Qian Hongyan had done some things that disgraced the family, in the final analysis, she was his mother.

Seeing his own mother being forced to run away from home, Xiao Hailong naturally felt a little bit of pity, so he said to Old Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, Mom has had it hard too. Please forgive her this once!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "Whoever speaks for this woman again, get out of this house."

Xiao Hailong was already so hungry that he saw stars, so as long as anything conflicted with eating, he would definitely choose the latter.

So, he immediately closed his mouth sensibly and said no more.

Xiao Weiwei quickly brought up some tableware, and together with Old Mrs. Xiao, poured the leftovers into containers. Xiao Weiwei finished a steamed bun dipped in vegetable soup in two or three bites, and then followed suit and stuffed another steamed bun into her stomach.

Old Mrs. Xiao was already full, so she carried the bowls and chopsticks and fed Xiao Changgan and Xiao Hailong who were lying on the bed.

The father and son, like chicks just hatched in a bird's nest, opened their mouths wide waiting to be fed. The moment they finally ate, the father and son couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing the two of them like this, Old Mrs. Xiao felt a little heartache, so she said with red eyes: "Mom will go to work for another day tomorrow, and in the evening I'll buy some flour and meat, and the four of us will make dumplings!"

Xiao Changgan asked while crying: "Mom, can we eat meat-filled dumplings tomorrow?"

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will definitely eat them. By then, I'll buy them back, and Weiwei and I will wrap them for you two to eat!"

Xiao Changgan said with red eyes: "Mom, when I recover, I'll go out to work. Even if it's carrying cement at a construction site, I'll find every way to earn money to subsidize the family. I won't let you run around at such an old age anymore!"

Xiao Hailong also said vaguely: "Grandma, I'll go too!"

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said: "You two just focus on recovering. When you are fully recovered, I will rely on you to support me in my old age!"

When the four Xiao family members finally ate a full meal, Qian Hongyan cried until her tears ran dry in her room.

Suffering from hunger and cold, Qian Hongyan not only felt completely desperate about the Xiao family, but also made up her mind to leave.

She didn't intend to stay in this house, nor did she intend to stay in Jin Ling.

She wanted to return to her parents' home.

Although her parents' home didn't have much money, and she had an older brother who was sponging off their parents, at least her parents' home could still provide her with a meal, so she wouldn't have to live so miserably.

However, her parents' home was a bit far away, and a hard-seat train ticket would take at least five or six hours and cost more than one hundred yuan. The travel expenses became Qian Hongyan's biggest problem.

After thinking about it, she decided to find a way from Old Mrs. Xiao.

That night, Old Mrs. Xiao slept very soundly due to a whole day of physical labor.

In the early morning, Qian Hongyan quietly slipped into her room and found two hundred yuan from her pocket.

Of these two hundred yuan, one hundred was the old lady's wages, and the other hundred was what the old lady had exchanged for a slap.

Seeing these two pieces of cash, Qian Hongyan was extremely excited.

Two hundred yuan wasn't much, but it was enough for her to eat breakfast after dawn and then take the train back to her parents' home for New Year's Eve!

So, she put the money into her pocket without hesitation, packed a few clothes and personal items, and left Tang Chen Yi Pin while it was still dark, carrying her suitcase.

Before leaving, she left a note in her room with only four words: "We shall never meet again."

Early morning on New Year's Eve.

Xiao Churan finally started her vacation.

However, she was used to going to bed early and getting up early, so she was already up and preparing to wash up before seven o'clock.

Seeing his wife get up, Ye Chen also climbed out of bed. Today is New Year's Eve, and there are still many things to do at home. Not only do they have to organize the New Year's Eve dinner, but they also have to prepare the dumpling filling in advance. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the family will wrap dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Just then, Xiao Churan's phone rang, and she said in surprise: "Oh my, Ruolin is calling me so early, I wonder what's the matter."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Wife, you'll know once you answer it."

Xiao Churan nodded and answered the phone: "Hello, Ruolin, why are you calling so early?"

Dong Ruolin smiled and said: "I'm on vacation! I'm on vacation today, so I'm taking a flight at noon to return to Yanjing to have New Year's Eve dinner with my family."

As she spoke, she added: "Are you free in a while? I'll come to visit and wish your parents a Happy New Year."

Xiao Churan smiled and said: "I'm free, but you must not buy anything to bring home. I haven't even had time to buy gifts for your family, so with our good relationship, let's not do these formalities."

"Okay!" Dong Ruolin smiled and said: "Isn't that just a matter of a word?"

After saying this, Dong Ruolin added: "By the way, Churan, I'll let my cousin come with me to visit your house, is that okay?" ===== CHAPTER 1015 =====
