Chapter 141: Unraveling Old Grudges
Qin Lanzhou's grandmother and mother Du Caiyu heard the result of the trial, and the two of them hugged each other and cried.
For so many years, although the pain of Qin Yi when he lost his right hand was slowly healing with the passage of time, that shadow always remained in the hearts of their family.
If Cao Fang hadn't chosen to escape after injuring Qin Yi back then, but had sent Qin Yi to the hospital as soon as possible, I am afraid that his right hand would not have been necrotic at all, and it would not have led to amputation in the end.
Cao Fang's drunk driving and hit-and-run have made their family feel uneasy for more than ten years, and now that the truth is revealed, they can finally feel at ease.
Seeing their mother and grandmother crying into tears, Qin Lanzhou and Situ Mo's eyes couldn't help but flicker with tears.
After the trial, she and Situ Mo supported their grandmother and Du Caiyu respectively, and the family turned around and left the courtroom.
At this time, the Song family of three appeared in front of the Qin family.
When the two looked at each other, Qin Yi's gaze was serious and solemn, while Song Zhihuan's gaze was equally deep and silent.
Now that the truth has been completely revealed, Qin Yi has already understood what is going on, and he also knows that this matter has been Cao Fang's fault from beginning to end, and has nothing to do with Song Zhihuan.
However, some feelings have been separated, and now looking back, there are always some knots in the middle, and if these knots are not resolved, they will not be able to go on smoothly.
After many years, both of them have gone from being young and middle-aged to now about to enter old age.
Those feelings that have been precipitated and cleansed over the years, there is no way to tell them in a few words.
Song Zhihuan and Qin Yi stared at each other, but they were both silent, all kinds of thoughts echoed in their hearts, and for a while, no one knew who should be the first to speak.
"Caiyu, don't be sad, now that the truth has finally been revealed, it can be regarded as an explanation to Dayi."
On this occasion, the first to untie the knots is between women and women.
Wen Wan saw that Du Caiyu and her grandmother were in tears like rain, so she took the initiative to step forward, took Du Caiyu's hand, and took the lead in opening the knot in her heart.
"Well, it's not easy. Wen Wan, all these years, we have blamed you. β
Feeling the kindness of Wen Wan and taking the initiative, Du Caiyu pushed the boat down the river and took the initiative to say it with tears.
"I don't blame you, Dayi's injuries are too serious, and we can all understand it in our hearts. Now that the truth is revealed, why don't we do it at night, let's go to the old restaurant we used to go to to catch up with the old days, what do you think? β
In the end, it was the best friend who came together when he was young, and when he saw Du Caiyu's tears raining down, tears flashed in his gentle eyes instantly.
She took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Du Caiyu's hand, and then asked everyone for advice.
Although the atmosphere at the scene was still a little dignified, this time, Qin Yi understood that he had misunderstood Song Zhihuan in this matter, and it was Wen Wan's suggestion, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, was that the Maple Yang Tavern from the past? After all these years, it's still open there? β
The long-ago memories gradually spread in the hearts of the four of them, and they gathered together when Song Jinyu and Qin Lanzhou were so old.
So now, as long as he mentions that year, Qin Yi's mind immediately comes up with the old store they often went to the restaurant back then.
"Now that the business is bigger, the name has been changed to Fengyang Hotel, and the location is still on Fengyang Road. Let's go, I'll be the east at noon, and our two families will get together! β
Seeing that Qin Yi took the initiative to mention the hotel of the year, Song Zhihuan understood that Qin Yi also wanted to resolve the grievances of the year.
So, Song Zhihuan immediately happily proposed, took everyone and set off together, and went to the Fengyang Restaurant on Fengyang Road in Sucheng.
Since moving from Sucheng to Yancheng that year, Qin Yi rarely came to the sad place of Sioux City, although he lived in Anhe Town in the next few years, but he almost didn't go out of the door, Sucheng was a shadow in his heart.
Now that he has set foot on this land again, he realizes how rapidly Sioux City has grown in the past ten years.
What used to be a suburb is now a new town, the former rice fields have now become high-rise buildings, many old houses have been renovated now, everything is changing day by day, and those old feuds that have been accumulated in the heart for many years should indeed be left behind.
After the group drove to Fengyang Hotel, Song Zhihuan asked for the best private room and asked the waiter to serve all the classic signature dishes that have been operating in the hotel for many years.
The two families were sitting together in a formal manner, Song Zhihuan and Qin Yi were sitting in the main seat, and everyone was scattered on both sides in turn, while Song Jinyu was sitting directly opposite Qin Lanzhou.
"Dayi, let's not talk about anything else today, let's have a good drink. After all these years, I'm going to compare myself with you and see if your alcohol consumption has grownβ"
"You were inferior to me when you were drinking, and now you must be worse. Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom. β
Qin Yi was not ambiguous, and after picking up the wine cup and touching Song Zhihuan loudly, he took the lead in leaning up.
The grievances of the brothers for more than two years have been dissolved in the wine in this way, and the real brotherhood does not have to apologize, do not have to be polite, and even do not have to greet too much, everything is in the wine.
"Wen Wan, I also toast you. In the future, the two sisters can make an appointment to go shopping together for beauty, I see that you look good now, teach me how to maintain it another day. β
Du Caiyu saw that the two brothers had already drunk, so she also raised her glass and said to Wen Wan.
"You don't look good, you haven't changed much after so many years. If you like beauty, you can come to my beauty salon in the future, and I will give you the highest VIP treatment. β
Wen Wan then picked up the wine glass and said to Du Caiyu with a smile.
The two women who still have the charm of have also melted all the life of the past ten years into the wine.
"Master, I also toast you. The grievances between my fathers have been resolved, and I hope that the cooperation between us will continue. I want to make Molin a Chinese jewellery brand that I want to change my mind, and I hope you will do the same. β
Song Jinyu saw that the elders had drunk it, so he said to Situ Mo and Qin Lanzhou.
"Of course it won't change, in fact, I have a new idea recently, and we will sit down together and discuss it when we are free in a few days."
Situ Mo smiled slightly and said to Song Jinyu with a smile.
The three of them toasted together, and everyone had a festive smile on their faces.
Qin Lanzhou and Song Jinyu put down the cup at the moment, the two of them tacitly exchanged a look with each other, seeing that the elders had begun to chat, they listened quietly on the side, only to know that the elders had been like them, stumbling step by step to today, they also experienced the youthful years, experienced the struggles, experienced all kinds of setbacks and tribulations, and slowly understood what it means to be born as a human being.
After reminiscing about the past years together, the estrangement between Qin Yi and Song Zhihuan completely faded, and Song Zhihuan saw that Qin Yi's heart had been opened, so he picked up his wine glass and said to Qin Yi:
"Dayi, I insisted on mechanization back then, and I was indeed eager for quick success, but I am essentially a businessman, I have so many employees to support under me, and I also have to consider the long-term development of the enterprise. But over the years, I've been reflecting that if I had followed your line, maybe I wouldn't have made much money, but the brand I made must have been a well-known Chinese gold jewellery, so in the long run, you're right. Fortunately, now the children are more educated and see farther than we are, and they have begun to have a sense of brand awareness and are ready to build the Moran Workshop together, and I am quite supportive of their decision. β
After a few glasses of wine, Song Zhihuan said his heartfelt words.
He knew that it was he who took the lead in giving up the path he had insisted on taking with Qin Yi for the sake of immediate interests, and chose mechanized mass production, resulting in Yijiang now can only be called a processing factory, not a real brand.
But fortunately, the descendants of the Qin family are still insisting on the inheritance of craftsmanship, and his son Song Jinyu also recognizes the importance of the brand and is working together with Qin Lanzhou, to a certain extent, he feels that this also makes up for the debt he owes to Qin Yi in his heart.
"My idea back then was good, but it didn't conform to the reality of the year, if I insisted on following the old path, I'm afraid it would be possible for Yijiang to be unable to support it now. Zhihuan, I am not as good as you in terms of business vision, but you are not as good as me in terms of craftsmanship, now that I am old, I am not as good as you, but there are two things I am not convinced, one is that I am not convinced by the amount of alcohol, and the other is my pair of children, I think they are very good, compared with your children, they are not bad! β
Qin Yi also drank wine, and while the wine was strong, he also said what was in his heart.
For so many years, he and Situ Mo have always been commensurate with master and apprentice, but in his heart, he has long regarded Situ Mo as a son, so now, he blurted out the words "a pair of children".
He said it naturally, but Situ Mo was shocked when he heard it.
Situ Mo never thought that Qin Yi would one day recognize him in public as his son, and he would be proud of him.
Situ Mo's eyes instantly flushed, and he raised his head suddenly, just in time to meet Qin Yi's meaningful gaze and the ten thousand wisps of tenderness in Du Caiyu's eyes.
In terms of age, Qin Yi and Du Caiyu are indeed a little young as his parents.
But in terms of friendship, the relationship between them has long surpassed the relationship between master and apprentice, and has long been integrated into a family.
"Your sons and daughters are indeed excellent, but my son is also good-looking, and I don't think I'm bad. Since the children are already in love, in my opinion, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's finalize the date of their engagement today! Let's get married into one family, hello to me in the future, everyone is good, what do you think, Dayi? β
Song Zhihuan saw that the timing was right, so he followed Qin Yi's words and mentioned it.
And at the same time that Song Zhihuan raised these words, Wen Wan was also looking at Qin Lanzhou carefully, only to see that although Qin Lanzhou was dressed very plainly, her stunning face stood out in the crowd, especially the heroism and aura revealed in those eyes, which made people like it more and more......
