In the evening, Chen Xingling rode his bicycle home.

Today, the temperature is starting to rise, the cold wind blowing on the body and face is not so cold, and the bright sun exposure throughout the day makes it feel as if spring has arrived.

The winter in Shangjing is very long, with a lot of rain in spring, and it is also very cold when it is cold in spring, and occasionally it can only be really warmed up until the third month of the lunar calendar.

Comparing the two, Chen Xingling was once again glad that it was really the most correct choice to return to Yucheng earlier.

Humming a ditty, she slowly crossed the water and crossed the road, and soon came to the end of the road.

Suddenly, she saw Gu Xuan and Zhao Xiaoxing standing at the door, one thin and one strong, one black and one flower, and the pestle was motionless outside the gate.

Forehead?

Chen Xingling intuitively felt that something was wrong at home!

The next moment, the movements under her feet quickly accelerated.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

Zhao Xiaoxing saw her, waved her arms vigorously, and then ran over with a nervous face.

"Sister-in-law...... Oh no! ”

Chen Xingling pinched the handlebar and braked the bicycle, and his long legs slammed to stabilize his figure.

"What's wrong? What's bad? ”

Zhao Xiaoxing swallowed her saliva and stumbled nervously.

"Sister-in-law! The eldest brother and Ah Yi will take the mother-in-law to the train station! Mother-in-law kept crying...... But the eldest brother won't let her stay! Ah Yi is also angry! I don't even know what to do! ”

What with what??

Chen Xingling frowned when he heard this, and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be anxious, you speak slowly first." ”

Zhao Xiaoxing explained with red eyes: "I heard from my eldest brother that my mother-in-law went to gamble again...... I lost dozens of pieces in mahjong again. The eldest brother was angry and asked me to go find Ah Yi over, and then the eldest brother asked the sister-in-law to throw the luggage into the car. After Ah Yi came, the eldest brother asked him to hold his mother-in-law...... The mother-in-law cried all the time, saying that she would not go back...... But the eldest brother refused, and drove to the train station with a cold face. ”

Chen Xingling: "......"

At this time, Gu Xuan looked over with a paralyzed face, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law." ”

Chen Xingling closed his mouth and finally reacted.

"They- when did they leave? When did this happen? ”

Zhao Xiaoxing replied: "Before the sun sets...... It's been about an hour. ”

Chen Xingling felt a little headache and asked, "Ah Xuan, how did you find out that your mother went to gamble again?" ”

As early as the morning of her fourth brother's wedding, she noticed that something was wrong with her mother-in-law.

How could someone like her, who fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, not be able to sleep in the middle of the night - most of them were playing mahjong.

Obviously, she didn't just go to play mahjong, but lost money again.

The ancients said: Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, your own mother-in-law is to eat a trench and grow a stupid!

Gu Xuan shook his head: "I just doubted it, I asked her, but she refused to tell the truth." I don't know where to look for her, but the eldest brother found her personally. The eldest brother said that he saw his mother playing mahjong with his own eyes, and there was some loose money in front of him. The eldest brother also said that his mother not only gambled all the money around her, but also owed dozens of yuan. He returned the money and tore up the IOU, so that the other party would let his mother and eldest brother leave. The eldest brother was very angry, so he wanted to drive his mother back to his hometown in Shangjing. ”

Chen Xingling sighed helplessly, pushed the bicycle into the gate, and parked it under the big tree.

"It's not a matter of time or a half to get to the train station, you guys come in first and close the gate."

Zhao Xiaoxing and Gu Xuan did so.

At this time, Xiaohuzi ran out of the study, and his cute little face was wrinkled.

"Mom, it's not good...... Grandma kept crying...... But her father and uncle were angry and pulled her into the car...... Grandma kept telling her not to go back. ”

Chen Xingling guessed that the little guy was frightened, and squatted down and hugged him into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, grandma has done something wrong again, and my father and uncle can't let her stay here and make mistakes again and again, so they punish her to temporarily go back to her hometown in the capital to take care of the old house. When the old house is taken care of, grandma can come back. ”

Xiaohuzi timidly asked, "What did grandma do wrong?" She- she cried so sadly and scolded her father and uncle...... She also said that she didn't have much money. ”

Chen Xingling secretly scolded a few times and stroked his son's hair.

She went to play mahjong and gamble for money, and lost all the money around her. It's very hard to make money, grandma won't make money, everyone didn't blame her, but she gambled everyone's hard-earned money, and we were very disappointed in her. And more than once, this is the second time. Adults have to pay for doing wrong things, so her father punished her to go back to her hometown to take care of the old house. ”

Xiaohuzi nodded lightly and asked, "Mom, will grandma come back in the future?" ”

"I guess so." Chen Xingling smiled: "When she repents and reforms, when she corrects her mistakes, your father and uncle will let her come back." ”

Mother-in-law is a scoundrel, easy to change her nature, even if she is temporarily sent back to the capital, she will find every opportunity to escape back.

At most, it can only bluff her for a while, but it's good to stop for a while.

Xiaohuzi couldn't help but mutter: "Auntie, they occasionally play mahjong, and they are still very happy." ”

"Pure play is a form of entertainment." Chen Xingling explained absentmindedly: "It's as if you play chess and hide and seek, both are a kind of game." But if you gamble money, it's not good. ”

At this time, Zhao Xiaoxing was at a loss to catch up.

"Sister-in-law, that ...... So what should we do? What now? ”

Chen Xingling's eyes were open: "This matter was decided by your eldest brother, and I didn't know anything about it in advance." Now that everyone has been taken to the station, it's too late for us to stop them. I don't know if Archie is deliberately trying to scare the old people, so I'll wait and see if they come back. ”

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoxing didn't have any idea at all, and nodded: "Then let's wait." ”

Gu Xuan stood in the corner, his face paralyzed and he didn't speak.

Chen Xingling looked at her and asked, "Ah Xuan, has your eldest brother discussed it with you?" Didn't you stop him? ”

"Nope." Gu Xuan whispered: "Big brother asked me to help my mother clean up things, so I'll clean up." Sister-in-law, I can't control my mother, you know. ”

"I know." Chen Xingling sighed helplessly: "No one in the family can control her, which will lead to the current situation." Last time I lost more than a thousand, and this time it's a hundred. ”

Dinner was ready, and Chen Xingling beckoned Yujiao and sister-in-law to eat together.

"Don't wait, I don't know when they'll be back, let's eat first. Leave some warm in the pot, and Archie and Ah Yi will have something to eat when they come back. ”

After eating, the three of them packed up the dishes and chopsticks and the kitchen, and then waited in the living room.

Xiaohuzi pulled Gu Xuan to play chess together, but who knew that Gu Xuan would lose in a few hits.

Chen Xingling and Zhao Xiaoxing swept and mopped the floor together, waiting anxiously.

I thought that if I couldn't catch the train, I would probably come back, but who knew that it wasn't until it was almost nine o'clock that Gu Qi drove Gu Yi back.

Behind them was empty, and Li Ying's fat figure was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Xingling and the three of them hurriedly greeted them, and they didn't know how to ask for a while.

Gu Qi lowered his eyes and was the first to break the silence.

"Mom went to gamble again, and was caught by me and Brother Liu. Ah Yi and I drove her back to Shangjing, and waited at the train station for several hours before finally waiting for the direct train to Shangjing, so I came back a little late. ”

Xiaohuzi asked in a low voice in the back, "Dad, grandma...... Have you been punished to go to your hometown? ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi's face was cold: "She was too wrong, and she was wrong again and again." She must accept the punishment and reflect on it. ”

Chen Xingling saw that the wood was already in the boat, and she couldn't say anything, so she secretly praised her husband's resoluteness and untolerated adultery.

"You're all hungry, aren't you? Eat something in the kitchen. ”

Gu Qi and Gu Yi were indeed hungry, so they washed their hands and took the rice bowl, and they took a big bite of it.

When such a big thing happened at home, no one was in a good mood, and there was silence at the dinner table, and no one spoke.

Xiaohuzi blinked his eyes and asked with concern: "Dad, is she still crying grandma?" ”

"And I didn't wronged her, what is there to cry about." Gu Qi said lightly: "I criticized her, and then she stopped crying and got on the train with her luggage." ”

Xiaohuzi nodded as if he understood.

Chen Xingling pushed the little guy and whispered, "It's late, you go to sleep first." ”

Little Tiger went upstairs obediently.

After Gu Qi and Gu Yi were full, they came to the large living room one after another.

Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "How long?" Is there a scheduled time? ”

If Archie hadn't set a time, maybe her mother-in-law would sneak back in a few days.
