Extra 4
Qu Bai bought a house for Ade a long time ago. Ade hardly lived in it over the years, but the decoration was quite nice. Qu Bai lived there first after he was discharged from the hospital.
When no one was around, Ade asked Qu Bai, "Why don't we live in the manor?"
Qu Bai said: "Wait for a while, until this matter is completely over."
Ade felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that the flowers have all withered."
Qu Bai laughed at him: "They wither in winter, but they will bloom in spring, summer, and autumn. Don't you believe in my flower-growing skills?"
Ade thought of how he took good care of the flowers and shook his head solemnly: "I believe you."
He hesitated again after he finished speaking: "That 's the dowry for Chi Xia. If we give it away so early, wouldn't it be a bargain for that kid Luo Xun?"
Qu Bai laughed loudly: "Are you stupid? Whose family would marry their eldest brother-in-law as a dowry? Why don't we live in that house?"
Ade was happy: "My kitchen is saved."
"It's better for the family to be together. If you leave an empty house to her, she will break your legs."
Ade thought about it seriously: Chi Xia may not be able to beat me..."
Qu Bai snorted and laughed: "You can go and see how good she is at playing cards now."
Ade suddenly remembered that on the day Lao K was arrested, Chi Xia did not use her card skills. Later, she felt remorseful and practiced diligently. The cucumbers he bought for cooking became the worst hit.
"It's all Luo Xun's fault." Ade complained, "He taught her this."
"You are obviously envious." Qu Bai crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it over: "Don't think I don't know that you are also practicing hard."
Ade blushed and refused to admit it: "I'll go cook!"
Heizi came to see Qu Bai twice, and liked the location of Ade's house, so he returned to Yu Ji overnight.
When he came back, he threatened to empty his family's savings to buy a house here for Uncle Gen and his wife.
Luo Xun was the first to know about this, so Chi Xia naturally knew about it too.
When the two came to see Qu Bai, they talked about this. Qu Bai asked Luo Xun: "You know Hei Zi best. Do you think you can stop him?"
Luo Xun shook his head: "It's difficult. He did this willingly. No matter what anyone says, it's useless."
"Who wouldn't want to spend money to buy some peace of mind?"
Qu Bai also said, "Let him be. I'll talk to Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen. They are a family now, and family members won't care about these things."
Not long after this happened, with the help of Ade, the house was quickly settled .
Heizi made phone calls all night and happily chose a day to help Uncle Gen and his family move.
He asked Ge Jingyi to help. Nie Haishu was still struggling to pursue his wife recently, so he stood guard at the door of Ge Jingyi's house and volunteered to do the hard labor.
Ge Jingyi ignored him, shook her hair, and rode away on her motorcycle.
Nie Haishu stood in the cold wind and sighed. When he pulled his hair and was about to continue, Ge Jingyi came back.
The motorcycle stopped in front of him, and he stretched out his long legs on the ground: "What are you standing there for? You can't even keep up with the heat when you're working."
Nie Haishu looked up at her. The girl in front of him was bright and charming. He couldn't help but smile. He rubbed his handles and was about to get in the car.
"What are you doing?" Ge Jingyi frowned.
Nie Haishu silently put down the leg he had just raised: "I...I'll get in the car..."
"Can you sit in the back seat of my sister's car too?"
Ge Jingyi glared at him with disdain, raised her chin, and pointed at the bicycle at the door: "You, that one."
Nie Haishu looked at the old 28-inch truck that was about to fall apart and nodded with difficulty: "Okay!"
Ge Jingyi watched him walk towards the 28-ton bike. Just as he was about to start the bike, an old man rushed out from the apartment building and slapped Nie Haishu on the hand: "What are you doing, young man? This bike is mine!"
Nie Haishu was pushed away by a slap and looked at Ge Jingyi blankly for a moment.
The old man who pushed him asked Ge Jingyi: "Girl, you said you would sell me this car, why are you going to regret it when you see such a handsome guy? You can't do this."
"How is he handsome?" Ge Jingyi frowned: "Uncle, please don't talk nonsense."
"I am not talking nonsense."
The old man protected his car and said, "Look at this boy. He's so energetic. He's much more energetic than the ones your grandma introduced to you, especially the one who ran downstairs to sing for you a few days ago. He's much better than that one!"
Nie Haishu thought about it. Where did Ge Jingyi’s grandmother come from? Isn’t her grandmother his grandmother?
Instead of helping her grandson to find a wife, his grandmother introduced men to his wife?
What's the logic behind this!
Nie Haishu stared at Ge Jingyi angrily, then thought again and remembered the advice Ade gave him: Although you have your own difficulties, this is your fault in the first place. With your wife's personality, if you had explained it clearly to her from the beginning, now your two children are old enough to help with the cooking, but you insist on showing off, you should show weakness now and let her pity you. Then maybe you still have a chance.
Thinking of this, Nie Haishu's expression immediately changed and he stared at Ge Jingyi pitifully.
It's true, Ade's trick worked. As soon as Ge Jingyi showed this expression, she felt guilty and was too embarrassed to even look at Nie Haishu.
Nie Haishu thought of Ade's words again: You have to be shameless at this time, get close to her, act coquettishly, roll around, show your loyalty, and it would be best if you give her a gift. Doesn't your wife like jade and jadeite and the like? You should buy them for her.
Nie Haishu said with difficulty at the time: "My assets are still under investigation. Chi Xia said it will take some time before he can give them to me..."
Qu Bai happened to hear them talking about this, and came over and handed Nie Haishu a card: "Take it, go chase your wife, she has been waiting for you for so long, do you think she will make peace with you just by saying a few nice words or just barking your finger?"
"It's so embarrassing to take your money."
Ade pressed the card into his hand: "Take it. My husband has the most money."
Nie Haishu looked at the two people in silence for a while, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether they were comforting him or hurting him.
Anyway, in order to get his wife back as soon as possible, Nie Haishu took the card with great reluctance and bought two bracelets for Ge Jingyi without any psychological burden.
He followed Ge Jingyi with this huge sum of money every day, but he was afraid that Ge Jingyi would think he was vulgar and was trying to bribe her with money, so he never had the courage to take it out.
At this moment, he was too lazy to care about anything. He pulled the man off the motorcycle. Before Ge Jingyi got angry, Nie Haishu put two bracelets on Ge Jingyi's wrists: "Don't be with those men. They don't even know what size bracelet you wear."
"You just know that?"
Nie Haishu grabbed her hand and shook it: "This is the best evidence. I remember it all."
"When did you measure it?"
"No need to measure." Nie Haishu held her wrist: "I know the answer."
Ge Jingyi rolled her eyes and was about to speak when Nie Haishu spoke first: "Wife, life is too short. Let's not waste time getting angry and having conflicts, okay?"
"You also know that life is short?"
Ge Jingyi kicked his calf in anger: "You know that life is short, but do you know that I was kept in the dark by you? I don't know if you are dead or alive. These past few years, every day feels like a year. The more I investigate, the more I find out that my man has kept so many things from me. Am I feeling good?"
"It's not easy for you. I know you are not easy."
Nie Haishu looked at her: "You can hit me or scold me, but can you please make peace with me?"
Ge Jingyi looked at him. In fact, he had been around her all this time, but she had never taken a good look at what he looked like now.
As she stared at him, she suddenly realized that the experiences of these years had completely worn away the man's impulsiveness and childishness.
He is now calm and emotionally stable. He knows how to think from other people's perspectives and is no longer as impulsive as he used to be.
The little gangster back then now has a mature look in his eyes and eyebrows.
"Nie Haishu."
She said: "I have too much grievance and anger in my heart. I have already forgiven you in my heart, but if I don't express this anger, I can't guarantee that I will always use this matter to criticize you in the future."
Nie Haishu smiled: "Then what do you want to do?"
Ge Jingyi raised her hand and said, "Three slaps. After these three slaps, I will never mention this matter again. Let's make peace and live a good life with grandma."
Nie Haishu stretched his face forward without thinking: "It's okay to mention it after the fight."
Ge Jingyi was not just saying this. She lowered her head, took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to Nie Haishu: "Hold it for me, so it won't get broken."
Nie Haishu took the bracelet, but before he could react, Ge Jingyi slapped him mercilessly.
Nie Haishu looked at her in a daze, and Ge Jingyi slapped her twice right after.
After she finished beating him, she said, "It won't hurt that much if it's unexpected. Nie Haishu, we're done with this."
Nie Haishu touched his face: "Then I..."
Ge Jingyi took the bracelet: "Where's the box?"
Nie Haishu stammered: "I thought it was hard to take, so I..."
Ge Jingyi's expression changed immediately: "You just put such an expensive thing in your pocket?"
"Isn't this a special period? Isn't this..."
Ge Jingyi touched her bracelet with concern, fearing that it had been bumped somewhere. She took the bracelet and hurried back upstairs, putting it away properly before coming down.
"Let's go." She really meant it when she said "go". She waved her arm and said, "Are you going to leave or not?"
When Nie Haishu first saw her action, he was immediately overjoyed and ran over to hold her arm: "Let's go ride a motorcycle?"
"Why are you riding a motorcycle? It's so cold, my knees are useless." Ge Jingyi glared at him: "Hike!"
"Whose?"
"Chu Jinbao's."
"Aren't we going to his house to help him move? Why are we using his car?"
When Nie Haishu finished speaking, Heizi's car drove into the community. When he saw Ge Jingyi, he honked from a distance.
The car drove over, Heizi stopped the car, rolled down the window, and looked at the two people holding hands in front of him: "What are you two doing?"
Ge Jingyi raised her hand: " Sorry , I'm sorry."
Heizi grumbled in grievance, gnashing his teeth. He then closed the car window, turned the car around, and drove away.
"He's jealous." Nie Haishu said, "Let's get a taxi."
As the two walked out of the community, they saw Heizi's car parked on the side.
"Are you still going to move to my house?"
Heizi looked at the two of them speechlessly, especially when he saw Nie Haishu, he snorted: "Scorpion, I'm warning you, be nice to my brother."
Ge Jingyi went up and kicked his car: "What brother! Why didn't you treat me as a brother when you were chasing me?"
"That's just because you're young and frivolous and have no family, it's just hypocritical."
Heizi called the two to get in the car: "Hurry up, my parents are still waiting to move to the new house."
The moving process took most of the day. The young people were busy tidying up the house, while Aunt Gen and the others were preparing food in Ade's house, preparing to cook two dishes in the new house before starting the cooking process.
The physical conditions of Yang Shujun and Huang Xujie have also improved a lot. After this period of rehabilitation, Huang Xujie can already walk slowly. Yang Shujun is better, and Chi Xia can still accompany her for a walk every day.
At this moment, Qu Bai, Luo Xun and Huang Xujie were chatting in the study. Aunt Gen didn't let Yang Shujun enter the kitchen, so Chi Xia was accompanying her.
Looking at the happy scene in the house, Yang Shujun said to Chi Xia, "Xia Xia, accompany your mother for a walk."
Chi Xia put on her hat and scarf, said something and went out.
The mother and daughter walked slowly. The snow that had fallen two days ago had not melted yet, and it made a crackling sound as they walked on it.
Chi Xia asked her: "Mom, do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes." Yang Shujun grabbed her hand and put it in her pocket: "Xia Xia, let's sell our villa."
Chi Xia has been thinking about this question these days. Before she knew the truth, that villa was her home, where she had the happiest times of her past years. Even if she knew the truth in the end, there were at least traces of Yang Shujun there. In any case, that villa was a symbol of home for Chi Xia.
But for Yang Shujun...
"I don't hate your father."
Yang Shujun seemed to know what her daughter was thinking: "I never felt that it was your existence that led to our ending. Do you often think this way?"
Chi Xia smiled at her and said nothing.
"You are my daughter, I know you best."
Yang Shujun brushed her hair off her forehead and said, "Xia Xia, don't think that way. You did nothing wrong. Your father, he may not have done anything wrong either. It's just that at a certain point, everyone made different choices. Since fate has pushed us to this point, we can't change the past. Let's look forward. You understand this best. Even if mom doesn't say so much, you should understand it, right? Let's keep the good memories of that house and forget the bad ones, okay?"
The two walked slowly. Yang Shujun's hand was in her pocket, squeezing Chi Xia's hand again and again: "I'm talking, did you hear me?"
"I heard it." Chi Xia rubbed her shoulder: "Mom, I heard from Uncle Qiao that you are planning to go out and play after the New Year?"
Yang Shujun smiled and said, "I, your mother, have come back to life. I must go and scare those old friends. Besides, I am still young and should enjoy life."
Chi Xia joked with her: "You can go wherever you want to enjoy yourself. I will support you. If that doesn't work, I will give you my dowry."
Yang Shujun slapped her hand in her pocket and said, "How much you look down on your mother. Your mother is still alive and has the ability to earn another dowry for you."
"I don't need that much."
Chi Xia rubbed her: "You, Qu Bai, A De, I am very happy that you are all fine now. As for the money, I will go back and get it back..."
He was still in Qincheng wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cursing the sun when he returned and shuddered for no apparent reason.
"Luo Xun is a good kid."
Yang Shujun smiled and said, "He told me the other day that his parents wanted to meet me. Do you think his mother would meet me?"
Chi Xia chuckled: "Then...then let's meet?"
Yang Shujun smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, then we'll meet."
The two walked back slowly, and Chi Xia saw Luo Xun's figure from a distance.
He stood by the upstairs window and waved at Chi Xia.
Chi Xia was very happy to see him. She couldn't help but say to Yang Shujun: "The first time I met him, I felt that he must like me."
