Chapter 618 Hard-won(2/5)
"It's my fault for troubling you, Director Li."
Hu Huilan was embarrassed and polite. She had never called Li Xuewu according to her uncle's relationship.
Li Xuewu, however, politely opened the car door for her and sent her into the car.
"Don't be polite, old aunt. We are all our own people. If you are polite to me, I will feel embarrassed."
After closing the car door, he helped Han Jiankun load the last two bags of luggage before getting into the passenger seat.
Han Jiankun drove back and followed Li Xuewu's instructions. The house that Lao Biaozi mentioned was originally taken over by Li Xuewu from several opera singers.
By a strange combination of circumstances, I also picked up two small bosses who were "dead or alive".
Earlier, when I became famous as an opera singer, I was called the boss.
Now Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao are about to become bosses.
The house where the two of them lived was the home that Lao Biaozi chose for his daughter-in-law and his mother-in-law.
Of the original five houses, Li Xuewu occupied one for himself and Tong Huimei and his wife lived there.
The rest were left to the brothers to choose. They thought it was too big and they were not married, so they did not live there.
As of now, only Shen Guodong has taken over his mother-in-law, the subject Xiaoyan's mother, to live with him.
Xiaoyan is the younger sister of his former brother Dazhuang, and Dazhuang's mother is considered the godmother of his brothers.
Now that he has adopted his godmother as his mother-in-law, he has finally given an explanation to his brother Da Zhuang.
When the brothers were in poverty, they agreed to give them ten yuan a month to support the family.
No one has mentioned this matter now. Everything is borne by Shen Guodong. He is not short of money.
Da Zhuang's mother also thought about it. With her daughter and son-in-law by her side to take care of her in old age, she finally didn't have to break up the family.
The house Shen Guodong chose is also in Nanluogu Lane. It is relatively close to the street and not far from the current warehouse area and small factory area, but it is far away from the compound.
"Guodong and his wife went over to burn the stove the night before yesterday," Li Xuewu turned around and introduced, "In the past two days, people have been going over to clean up and add fire to the stove to make sure it's warm."
"It's too troublesome for everyone, I..." Mai Qinglan, who was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, said with embarrassment: "If I say thank you again, I would be really pretentious."
"So I said, don't be polite."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "If Biaozi dares to let you three come back, it shows that he has confidence in his heart."
"I chose this place because it is close to the school and it is convenient to take care of my children. Otherwise, I would have given you a house in the backyard to live in, so it would be more convenient to take care of you."
"I am also rushing to take care of the child for convenience," Mai Qinglan said with a little guilt in her tone: "Otherwise I would not come back and leave him alone..."
"It's okay, Biaozi told me."
Li Xuewu nodded and said understandingly: "He has become successful and has grown up."
"Tell me, his greatest ability in this life is not to leave you any regrets."
"He can talk—"
Mai Qinglan was really moved when she listened to her lover's earthy love words and thought about the things he had done for her.
When she saw the notice in the newspaper, her first thought was to go back to school.
But then his thoughts were interrupted by his infant daughter, and then he thought of Li Wenbiao.
He must be concerned, the child is still so young.
If she doesn't go back, the school will definitely expel her and she will never be eligible to go to college again in this life.
But if she went back and left her daughter with him, she wouldn't be able to let go of either one.
Not finishing college is said to be a regret in life, but Li Wenbiao did it.
In the more than a year we have been together, I have never let her down or made her regretful.
To say that her feelings for Li Wenbiao are love, she is not sure yet, but to say that her feelings for Li Wenbiao are responsibility, she must be sure.
One side is family and the other side is studies, how to choose?
Li Wenbiao didn't let her choose, and he didn't let her hesitate to speak. He had already made a decision for her.
She admitted that her silence and depression had already been a choice, but this made her blame herself and feel guilty even more.
Therefore, Li Wenbiao made arrangements for her and her mother to take their children back to Beijing and take care of them while going to school.
She was surprised, stunned, moved to tears, and felt deeply guilty for him.
The couple didn't say anything about each other's vows, let alone their future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She already has children, how can Mai Qinglan not know Li Wenbiao’s current life.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a capitalist. With Li Xuewu's care, Li Wenbiao will never lack her commitment.
So, she came back, to the home that Li Wenbiao promised her, their home.
In fact, Li Xuewu can also feel the relationship between the two from the name Mai Qinglan calls Lao Biaozi.
She was never called Lao Biaozi or Biaozi.
Wen Biao or Li Wenbiao is always called that.
Li Xuewu's impression and attitude towards her gradually changed, and the previous distance and suspicion disappeared.
As a brother, this little care is totally what you should do.
------------------
The car stopped at the gate of the compound. Looking at the Sanjin Mansion, which was even wider than her previous home, Hu Huilan felt shocked to the point of numbness.
She used to say that her uncle was a rag collector, but she and her wife both believed it and accepted their fate.
But when did the rag collector become so generous?
Being cared for by Li Xuewu, I was confused when I lived in the club. When I arrived in Steel City and experienced my uncle's life, I became even more confused.
Returning to the capital, Hu Huilan looked at the house in front of her. It was clean and tidy and had obviously been tidied up. She only held back what she was holding in her heart and did not dare to ask a question.
What are you afraid of?
I'm afraid that if I ask, the prosperous life in front of me will disappear.
This is a bit metaphysical. There is a default rule in Eastern and Western metaphysical cultures: if you say it, it will not work.
"Don't worry about the firewood, rice, oil and salt. Guodong will deliver it to you every month. The winter vegetables are also ready."
Li Xuewu helped carry the child into the upper room. The room was burning warm, and the cracks in the windows were sealed with paper.
As Han Jiankun and Hu Huilan carried their luggage to the main room, he told Mai Qinglan: "You know the recycling bin. If you need help, go there and ask for help."
"Don't worry, brother, we can take care of ourselves and Wen Biao won't be worried."
Mai Qinglan felt the warmth in the room and felt warm in her heart. She unwrapped the child and saw that her daughter was still sleeping, and couldn't help but laugh.
"The household appliances were prepared by Biaozi for you earlier," Li Xuewu pointed to several appliances in the house and explained, "Guodong and his wife are coming over tonight, so if you have any, just ask him."
"If you have any need, please tell him."
He smiled and gestured to the door: "I'm still in class here. I have to go back quickly. Let's get together again on the weekend."
"Thank you, second brother. It's such a mess, so I won't keep you here. I'm sorry."
Mai Qinglan motioned to her mother to take care of the child, and she sent him out, calling him affectionately.
According to Lao Biaozi and others, there are more people called Wu Ge, mainly because they were hanging out on the streets.
Now Mai Qinglan calls her second brother, but she refers to her from home. Her thoughts are always very unique.
Li Xuewu didn't care about this and asked her to go back in the courtyard. "Take your time to clean up. Let Guodong pick you up on the weekend and go back to the courtyard to have a meal together."
"Oh, by the way," after taking two steps, he turned back and reminded, "Be careful about your registration. If you find anything wrong, don't be impulsive and call me."
"I understand, there is no rush in this matter."
Mai Qinglan and Lao Biaozi also managed business in Steel City for a period of time, and they are much more mature than before.
After watching Li Xuewu and the driver close the door and leave, he returned to the upper room.
Looking at the mansion along the way, she used to see Li Wenbiao squatting at the door brushing his teeth when she was at school.
How should I put it, it has a kind of black humor.
Not every woman likes a big house, but as long as she is a woman, there is no one who does not like a bigger home.
It's just that this home is a bit too big for the three of them.
Originally, I called my father today, but he was busy with rehearsals and would not be able to come back until evening.
Mai Qinglan entered the house and glanced at the furnishings in the house that she had not had time to look at when she just came in.
As Li Xuewu said on the road, it was spotless and someone had specially cleaned it up.
There is a fire pit in the east room, a radiator under the window sill, and the glass is kept clean.
The morning sun is so bright that it shines brightly on people's faces and is so warm.
In the cold winter, in this icy season, it seems so unreal.
