Chapter 105: Xiaobao
Ling Li looked at her aunt, who was still a little worried, and lowered her voice: "I'm nothing, but I can use the grievances between adults to affect children, and it's not good for Xiaobao's growth." Xiaobao is a boy, so he should have the heart of a boy, how can he listen to his cousin-in-law talk about the shortcomings of the East and West every day? If you feel that it is difficult to say, you should also remind your cousin. ”
Regarding the relationship between the daughter-in-law and the husband's niece, the aunt may not be more partial, but for the daughter-in-law and the grandson, it is more important to divide the importance of the grandson.
She nodded in agreement, a little dissatisfied: "She is like that, she can't help the words in her mouth, she can say whatever she wants, and she doesn't shy away from it in front of Xiaobao." ”
Ling Li couldn't answer any longer, so she simply turned around and talked to her cousin Zhang Jianwen.
It's enough to say this, after all, people are a family, Ding Wenhua is willing to teach the child crookedly, and she doesn't have to meddle in it to make it not a person inside and out.
For someone's practice of being a-stirring stick and having to make everyone unhappy before they can live in peace, can't they be provoked, and can't they hide? .
talked to Zhang Jianwen about the work at hand for a while, and asked him about his recent situation. After that, Ling Li went upstairs to put things and freshen up, she was still used to going downstairs to help, but after thinking about it, her cousin was also back, and the store was not open at night, it was just a dinner, there were enough people, why should she bother to get in the way?
When her uncle shouted downstairs that she had eaten, Ling Li went downstairs.
When I went downstairs, I saw my cousin Zhang Jianwen holding the child and smiling like a flower, and when I saw Ling Li, I hurriedly handed Xiaobao to her and said, "Xiaoli, come and help me hug it, this kid is too heavy, and my hands are very sore." ”
Although he was complaining, his unreserved smug expression was clearly showing off that his son was white and fat.
Ling Li smiled, and took over the child with his mentality of acting to the end. However, although Xiaobao stopped beating people, she still didn't give her face, and only a minute into Ling Li's arms, she twisted the candy and threw herself on her father.
These fat boys of about 20 pounds are working hard to earn it, and their strength is really not small. Ling Li was not used to holding the child, and was afraid that he would fall, so he had to hand it back to Zhang Jianwen.
Zhang Jianwen took his son, still full of pride, teasing Ling Li: "What's the matter?" Xiaobao and you, my cousin, see each other every day, and they are not as affectionate as I see once a year. ”
Ling Li was a little amused: "Your inexplicable sense of superiority, this is your son, blood is thicker than water, born to kiss you, even if I have gold and silver mountains here, he won't take a second look, okay!" ”
Zhang Jianwen cocked his tail and raised his chin: "Of course!" ”
I don't know if it was when she was upstairs, her uncle said something to Ding Wenhua, Ding Wenhua, who didn't give Ling Li a good face just now, actually had a very relaxed attitude. Not only did he greet her enthusiastically to eat vegetables, but after dinner, he also handed her two bags of yak beef jerky, saying that it was a specialty of her hometown for Ling Li to taste.
The most strange thing is that she seems to be still vaguely saying that Xiaobao thanked her cousin for the big red envelope.
Ling Li was confused, but she didn't dare to answer. She was so embarrassed during the Spring Festival, where could she care about giving Xiaobao a red envelope? I just forgot about it.
Moreover, the four hundred yuan red envelope she gave to Xiaobao last year could not enter Ding Wenhua's eyes at all, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, her nostrils turned to the sky, and there was not a word of thanks, but her eyes were full of disgust.
She was about to ask for an explanation, but she saw her uncle winking desperately at her, as if telling her to shut up and not talk more.
She hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and took the heavy two bags.
When Ding Wenhua and Zhang Jianwen took Xiaobao to the door, her uncle grabbed her and whispered: "Jinchuan called me before the Spring Festival and said that you have a red envelope for your family members during the New Year, and he can't find you and don't know who to hand it over." I told him that you were robbed and went back to Nanxi, so he gave me the money, and asked me to simply give the money directly to Xiaobao for you to make New Year's money. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Shouzhen swallowed his saliva, and his face was a little embarrassed: "Two thousand yuan, a lot of money, I originally thought that I still have to ask you to deal with it, but I don't know how your cousin-in-law knows, just now, I was afraid that your cousin-in-law would make trouble, so I said that you agreed, and gave the two thousand bags into red envelopes to Xiaobao as New Year's money." Xiaoli, you don't mind, do you? ”
Ling Li shook her head in a daze, and then suddenly realized Ding Wenhua's prickly words and then polite attitude. It turned out that it was because she couldn't get a sum of money, and she felt uncomfortable, so she was picky everywhere.
However, she didn't understand, why did she have a so-called family fee for some reason? This is not the first year she has spent the Spring Festival in Chengda, and she has never heard of such a benefit before.
Thinking about it, there was still a huge sum of 200,000 yuan in front of her, Ling Li suspected that this so-called family fee was actually Zhu Jinchuan's casual nonsense.
It seems that Zhu Dazhi is not hard-hearted, and he feels a little guilty about taking advantage of her identity as a family member of the victim.
It's just that she doesn't really need such a disguised mercy, and she also hopes that Zhu Jinchuan will let go of this matter and not always think about compensating her, but it will embarrass everyone.
With this, she was preoccupied again. What kind of name should the 200,000 be returned to Zhu Jinchuan?
After nine o'clock in the evening, Ling Li helped her uncle and aunt clean up the kitchen utensils, clean up, and close the door of the store.
Zhang Jianwen hugged his son, picked up his hand and waved it at Ling Li, imitating Xiaobao's tone in his mouth: "Goodbye, auntie, let's go home." ”
Xiaobao was already a little sleepy, his eyes couldn't be opened, lying on his father's shoulder, his eyes slanted.
Ling Li shook his little hand and whispered in his ear, "Goodbye, Xiaobao." ”
After that, my uncle's family said goodbye and left.
In the night breeze, Ling Li watched the backs of their family go away, and smiled lightly at the corners of her mouth.
seems to be a harmonious family, but in fact, there are bumps and bumps, and it is common to quarrel and gamble.
In the past, Dad said well, home has never been a place to reason. It's a pity that she didn't understand this truth at that time, and she couldn't rub sand in her eyes, which inadvertently broke her parents' hearts.
Now, although there is an uneasy cousin who always keeps an eye on her money bag, but no matter what, they are her only relatives in the world, and where there are no principles involved, what does it matter to take a step back.
It's just that she suddenly thought of Xiaobao's somewhat pale little face, and the obviously hot temperature of his palms, and she was faintly uneasy.
This night, Ling Li didn't sleep well, in the dream for a while, it was Xiaobao shouting her cousin's voice, and for a while, it was Yi Xiaoxuan's words about the mantis yellow finch black hole, her mind was full of weirdness, and she woke up after sleeping for a while.
It wasn't until four or five o'clock in the morning that she was so tired that she finally fell asleep.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ling Li was still sleeping with her head covered, and a shock came from under the pillow.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she pulled out her pulsating phone from under her pillow and stared at the three words on the screen in a daze, she felt as if she had been pulled back to reality from her dream.
She coughed lightly twice and cleared her throat, swiped her fingers over the answer button, and then took it to her ear and carefully said hello, trying to suppress a trace of dryness in her voice, for fear that the other party would hear that she was still sleeping.
The cold voice on the other side seemed to be a little stunned: "Still sleeping? ”
was "heard" all of a sudden, Ling Li was embarrassed, quickly sat up, pressed his neck socket and rubbed it vigorously, feeling a little calmer, before he answered: "No, I've gotten up." ”
Fortunately, Zhu Jinchuan didn't entangle this issue with her, and immediately got to the point: "Come to the office, Qin Xinghai's case, the result is out." ”
As soon as this case was mentioned, Ling Li's somewhat flustered heart instantly precipitated, lowered her eyes to look at the mottled sunlight reflected on the pillow outside the window, and after a while, she gently said one word: "Okay." ”
I hurriedly went out, and it was already an hour later when I arrived at the Chengda Office.
thought that he would know the result immediately, but Zhu Jinchuan kept silent about the verdict, and instead asked about the progress of her representation of Nan Zhiyi's case.
Ling Li's heart was like a cat scratching, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, but he asked about the case slowly, and she didn't want to say it at all.
So, under the guise of her client's request for secrecy, she wanted to end the topic quickly.
Zhu Jinchuan didn't buy it at all, and knocked on the table, and his voice cooled down: "The agreement is signed with the name of the Chengda Office, and I have the right to know the progress of the case." If you feel the need to keep it a secret from me, then I will ask Tian Zhengyan directly. ”
With his unquestioning gaze and slightly threatening tone, Ling Li had no choice but to raise the small white flag and surrender.
She talked about the case for more than half an hour, especially when it came to the other party's unclear purpose but menacing, Zhu Jinchuan listened carefully, occasionally picking up a pen and drawing on the paper.
After Ling Li finished speaking, he frowned: "There is something I want to remind you." You go back and tell Tian Zhengyan that a month ago, Wang Qi of Imperial Capital University sent his students to come to me, hoping that I would be involved in the case of Yamazaki Seeds. At that time, it seemed that the information he gave me was limited, but judging from the meaning of the man's words, it was probably to let me do the work that Yi Xiaoxuan did that you met now. ”
Ling Li was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Then you, pushed it away?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was leisurely: "Yamazaki Seed Industry and Nanzhiyi are fighting, since you have accepted Nanzhiyi's commission, I have to push it off over there." Do you know that in order to fulfill one of your free agents, I lost millions of agency fees, how do you compensate me? ”
Ling Li's face turned red for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
After a long while, she said in a low voice, "I really can't afford to lose." Why don't I give you back the 200,000 first? ”
Zhu Jinchuan's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered a thorn between the two.
Without wanting to tease her anymore, Zhu Jinchuan shook his head slightly: "Okay, don't talk about this, I just want to remind you that there are so many law firms in the capital, and the fact that both parties to the litigation entrust a lawyer from a law firm at the same time is probably not a coincidence." ”
Next, he didn't say anything more, took out the verdict that Ling Li couldn't wait to read from the drawer, and gently placed it on the table.
