Chapter 369 Duan Qi’s Thoughts
Chapter 369 Duan Qi’s Thoughts
Ye Shu could probably guess that Duan Qi came back to the capital so frequently because his real target was next door.
But at the moment, she is not sure what the mentality of Mother Hu and Father Duan is, do they support or oppose?
So she shouldn't respond rashly.
Furthermore, this was Duan Qi's private matter, and she, as an outsider, was not allowed to interfere.
So she just listened quietly to what Mother Hu said, and responded with a few words from time to time to show that she was listening carefully and was a very competent listener.
Hu Jingfei sighed: "You don't know, hey, he is..."
She lowered her voice again: "I came back for your aunt!"
Ye Shushi was surprised: "Is this true? Big brother..."
Hu Jingfei quickly raised a finger, signaling her to speak more quietly so that he couldn't hear her.
Ye Shu observed her expression and saw that she was really anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Then you and Dad..."
Hu Jingfei sighed again: "That's the problem. I don't think it's a big deal. First of all, your aunt is a good person and we get along well. In times like this, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity and is the only thing that can stay together for a long time."
"Although she is a little older than Archie and has two children, I was also married and had children before I married your father, and he is much older than me! What's the big deal!"
"Also, there's something I've been keeping in my heart."
Ye Shu: "What's the matter?"
Hu Jingfei: "A few years ago, when A-Ling was getting married, he threw a huge tantrum. He absolutely refused to agree to A-Ling marrying that girl named Ni, and even told her to wait until he grew up to marry her! Everyone thought he was just kidding, so they just laughed it off."
"But now that I think about it, I'm afraid that since then, this kid has been thinking about this big sister!"
"Unfortunately, due to the huge age gap between them, A-Ling has always treated him as a younger brother and never had any other thoughts about him. Even now, A-Ling probably hasn't realized that A-Qi has other feelings for her. She is now focused on taking care of the children and going to work. The leaders in her school introduced her to several blind dates, but she rejected them all, saying that she was afraid of finding a bad person and that Zhuzhu and Dandan would suffer."
"Back then, Aling got married, and the next day the boy ran away. We later found out he was joining the army! He didn't come back for several years until he was an adult."
"I originally thought that he had let it go, but I didn't expect..."
Ye Shu listened and felt quite emotional. Duan Qi must have hidden deep thoughts!
He always claimed that Huo Yiling was his biological sister in front of Huo Yisheng, but it turned out that it was just a trick?
Good heavens, if Huo Yisheng knew his true thoughts, who knows what kind of unmanageable situation would happen.
Hu Jingfei: "But you know, I'm a stepmother after all. They say stepmothers have it hard. If I don't arrange a blind date for him, everyone will say that I don't care about my stepson and treat him harshly."
"For the past two years, I have been looking for a good girl for him, hoping that he can get married and have children, and continue the Duan family's incense."
"But there's no one he likes. If I talk too much, he'll just not come back. I can see it, I know he's tired of me."
"Old Duan is getting anxious too. He's urged me several times, both openly and covertly, but how can I handle this?"
"The main thing is that Aqi is already 26 years old. Your Xiao Huo is only one year older than him. Look at you, you have three children now!"
"Before, everyone in the courtyard thought that your little Huo was the stubborn one who refused to get married. I didn't expect that my little Huo was the tough one!"
Ye Shu also felt that this matter was difficult to handle, and finally understood Mother Hu's anxiety and worry. This matter was indeed not easy to handle in her position. If she didn't handle it properly, people would talk about her.
But Mrs. Hu is a person who attaches great importance to her reputation.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been burdened with so much mental pressure for so many years because she couldn't have children!
She thought about it and felt that the key to this matter lies with Duan's father.
So I asked, "What does Dad think about this?"
Hu Jingfei was so worried: "He doesn't agree, and he doesn't allow me to tell you about this!"
Ye Shu was surprised: "Why? He also thinks that Sister Ling is old, married and has children, so she is not worthy of Big Brother?"
Hu Jingfei shook his head: "That's not the case. He is mainly afraid of your father-in-law."
Ye Shu said he didn't quite understand.
Hu Jingfei: "This kid has been coming back so often lately. Every time he comes back, he always has to look for the three of them. His father and I have noticed something is wrong. Even people in this building have started gossiping about him."
"But A-Ling hasn't gotten his way yet. He still treats him like his younger brother. Your dad thinks there's no hope. If we bring this up now, how awkward will it be for our two families? After all, they live next door to each other!"
Ye Shu: “…”
In her opinion, they were just overthinking things and people in this era were too conservative.
If this happened in the future, no matter whether they were neighbors on the left or right or in front or behind, in a situation like theirs, they would definitely be childhood sweethearts, so they could just get along first and then break up if they were not suitable!
There are even those who can still live next door as neighbors after divorce!
Ye Shu: "So, the key to this matter is still Sister Ling?"
Hu Jingfei nodded: "Yes, I said I would go talk to A Ling, but he refused to let me, saying that if I told him, he would never come back!"
She sighed angrily: "Hey! Tell me, what's going on?"
"I wasn't in a hurry at first, but the situation is different now. The three of them, mother and daughter, live here, and we live next door to support them, but those snobs in the yard can still bully them. Look, this is the hardship of having no man in the house!"
"I just thought that if they could get married quickly, Ah Ling could take the children with him to the Eastern Province, or he could be transferred back. At least they could take care of each other, and they wouldn't be bullied by others as an orphan and a widow!"
She also encountered Zhuzhu Dandan being bullied by naughty kids several times, and she defended them at that time.
But that was what she encountered. What about the time when she didn’t know?
It’s heartbreaking to think about it.
In fact, apart from this, she also has a selfish motive.
Ever since she married Old Duan, Duan Qi had not been close to her, and now that they had grown up, their feelings were not deep either.
At most, he might just consider himself an elder.
Hu Jingfei thought that if he could marry Huo Yiling, Huo Yiling and she had always gotten along well, and if their relationship became closer, it would definitely improve his relationship with Duan Qi.
If she married someone she was completely unfamiliar with, her relationship with Duan Qi would probably become increasingly distant.
