Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Dog Catches the Mouse and Meddles in Affairs

Qiao Qingyu quickly grabbed her, whispering, "Auntie, this is just outside the school, there are so many of Li Bo’s classmates over there, please don’t cry, it’s not good for her, let’s talk this over calmly."

The middle-aged woman still wanted to cry, but when she met Qiao Qingyu’s clear, piercing eyes, she suddenly realized that she was indeed embarrassing her daughter. She hastily wiped her tears and stood up.

A few of them stood under the shelter of the wall, avoiding the wind.

Li Bo’s complexion was terrible, completely lacking her usual vigor. She even looked at her mother with disdain, thinking of her as nothing but a hindrance, offering no help—just a source of embarrassment.

"...Mom, just go back, you and dad have been out of love for so long, dragging it out is just hurting each other. Aunt Shao is getting older, she can’t wait much longer, really..."

"Xiao Bo, what nonsense are you talking about? Who persuades their own parents to divorce? If we divorce, you’ll have no home," Li Bo’s mother watched her in disbelief.

And Qiao Qingyu looked at Li Bo with disbelief too. Was this something a child should say?

Regardless, she shouldn’t talk like this.

"Mom, do you think this is still a home? Every day it’s nothing but fighting and causing trouble, or crying and yelling. I’d rather not have such a home."

The middle-aged woman couldn’t believe her daughter could be so heartless. Standing there in the cold wind, she became somewhat stunned, obviously at a loss for words.

Then she cried again, tears streaming down, truly heart-wrenching to watch.

Li Bo was about to speak again.

Qiao Qingyu frowned and said, "Li Bo." Her voice was more serious than ever, and her expression matched.

Li Bo looked at Qiao Qingyu in surprise and then, remembering something, awkwardly said, "Qiao Qingyu, this is my family’s business, there are things you don’t know, it’s really not my fault."

"I don’t know what’s happening in your family, and as a classmate, I don’t have the right to interfere, but I seriously don’t approve of your attitude."

Li Bo was taken aback. Perhaps because Qiao Qingyu was usually smiling, it took her a moment to react.

But Qiao Qingyu wouldn’t elaborate much. Sometimes the world worked in strange ways; for example, if she rebuked this woman’s daughter in front of her, the woman wouldn’t feel pleased or relieved; she would feel hurt and upset, she would get defensive, thinking Qiao Qingyu was being unnecessarily meddlesome.

That’s what they say, every parent thinks their child is the best, nobody else should criticize.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t want to invite that kind of trouble, although she wasn’t sure if this woman would react that way.

Qiao Qingyu turned to Li Bo’s mother, her voice gentle, "Auntie, it’s quite cold today, and we’ll be visiting the base in a moment. Li Bo is the team leader and carries significant responsibilities. She can’t spend much time with you. Look, the truck that’s picking us up has already arrived, we really can’t delay any longer. On your way home, please be careful, and when I find the time, I’ll come visit you..."

Li Bo’s mood lightened visibly at her words, and the middle-aged woman felt a warm sensation in her heart. Liu Hong and Liu Min looked at Qiao Qingyu with exceptional admiration.

Could this be the difference between being married and unmarried?

Oh, perhaps it is.

Li Bo also awkwardly said, "Mom, you should go home first, we can talk about it when I get home."

Li Bo’s mother glanced at her daughter and then at the three classmates next to her, sighed softly, and said weakly, "I’ll head back first, make sure to dress warmly, don’t catch a cold."

Li Bo seemed used to such admonitions and said somewhat impatiently, "Mom, just go."

The middle-aged woman finally dared not delay her daughter’s matters any longer and hurriedly left.

Then Qiao Qingyu and the others hurriedly ran towards the main gate.

For young people, they easily forget what just happened and are quickly replaced by everything fresh and exciting before them.

When the truck left Xichuan, their exclamations were continuous, with some saying, "Oh my god, I heard that our Xichuan’s greening work for windbreak and sand control achieved significant strategic results. I always wanted to come and see. I thought it was all an exaggeration, making a mountain out of a molehill, but I didn’t expect there to be so much withered grass. Although it’s yellow now, come next spring, it will be lush and green, just like Outer Jiangnan..."

"Yes, yes, my uncle told me that after I graduate, I should go work at the Xichuan Greening Ecology Headquarters."

"My uncle is really sharp. We can’t do that, who knows where we’ll end up after graduation, we might not even get a hot meal."

"Yuck, what are you talking about? That’s disgusting."

"I didn’t say anything wrong. You’re like Hai, even the crap you eat is gourmet."

"If you keep talking nonsense, you’ll end up farming, dealing with piss and poop every day..."

"What’s wrong with that, after I graduate, I’ll go and combat desertification, we’ll make Xichuan a swath of green oasis..."

The boys laughed and joked, not really getting angry, and quickly became enthusiastic again.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t sit in the cab, she stood in the back of the truck with her classmates, wearing a scarf and a hat, and didn’t feel cold with the wind at her back, looking at the scenery on both sides, Qiao Qingyu thought, clever and opportunistic people exist everywhere; they see the grand prospects of the Greening Ecology Headquarters’ development.

Outer Jiangnan!

These four words sound so pleasant.

The visit went smoothly; the base hosted them for lunch in the cafeteria, and in the afternoon, they were ready to send them back. Naturally, Qiao Qingyu was to join them.

However, she still found time to return to the base family quarters. Everything at home was clean. He Xiuyu was working in the study, He Xuerong and Li Mingguang were playing in the yard, dressed warmly and cleanly.

Qiao Qingyu was relieved, He Xuerong ran up to her feeling aggrieved, "Little aunt, why didn’t you come home yesterday? I wanted to sleep with you."

"Let’s wait for next week, little aunt will come back early next week."

"Little aunt, you have to keep your word."

"Mhm, little aunt keeps her word."

Hearing the voices, He Xiuyu pushed open the door of the room. The cleanly handsome man stood at the doorway, his eyes soft as he looked at his wife, the affection in his eyes, although he tried hard to conceal it, still inadvertently overflowed.

Qiao Qingyu entered the house, and then He Xuerong and Li Mingguang were called out by Dashun and Daji, and so the yard quieted down again.

He Xiuyu didn’t waste time, he pulled his wife close, scrutinizing her carefully. Although it had only been a week, whenever he came home his heart felt empty.
