Chapter 345: Was He Specifically Waiting?

Mr. Qin thought of his younger son’s temperament.

So he said, "Alright, you go and tell him. I have no idea what that kid’s so busy with, not even stopping by today."

With his younger daughter-in-law at the university, shouldn’t that kid, Qin Wenhao, be free?

And yet he didn’t even come home.

"You’re heading over now, right? Take that can of milk powder with you for Mingxue. It’s nutritious and just what she needs!"

Mrs. Qin got up as soon as she finished speaking.

Qin Wenze waited.

Gao Lan, who was nearby, was utterly shocked.

’Can adults drink milk powder too?’

’Isn’t milk powder for children?’

She knew her two children ate very well.

Her mother-in-law doted on her two children. Not only was their food better than most, but their clothes were of higher quality as well.

And even though her children were already five and seven years old, her mother-in-law still bought milk powder for them to drink.

Now, her sister-in-law, a grown woman, was also being given milk powder.

Gao Lan was truly envious of her sister-in-law. She had it so good; her in-laws doted on her like their own daughter.

It is often said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies.

She had never seen a pair get along this well.

Just then, Mrs. Qin returned, holding two cans of milk powder.

"Both of these cans are for Mingxue. She worked so hard at her previous job, staying late every night. I thought things would be easier for her now that she’s at the university, but it turns out she’s just as busy. She really needs to build up her strength."

"Make sure Wenhao has Mingxue drink it, and tell her not to try and save it for the children. When it’s time for her and Wenhao to leave, I’ll prepare some for the kids separately."

Qin Wenze took the two cans of milk powder. "Mom, I’ll tell Wenhao. The way he spoils his wife, I’m sure he’ll do exactly as you say."

He said this with a smile and prepared to leave.

Gao Lan wanted to offer to go with him.

But before she could even open her mouth, she heard her mother-in-law say, "A Lan, I’ll buy a can for you tomorrow, too."

Mrs. Qin hadn’t thought of it at first, but seeing Gao Lan there, she was worried her daughter-in-law might get the wrong idea.

It had to be said, sometimes it was truly difficult to treat everyone equally.

’You can’t just give everyone the exact same thing, can you?’

Her elder son’s family still lived at home, after all. They didn’t have to pay a single cent for food or other expenses.

And they were the ones paying for the children’s expenses, too.

When you compared it all, it was her younger son who was getting the short end of the stick.

Gao Lan was taken aback by the offer and quickly shook her head. "No, Mom, I don’t need any. Please don’t buy it for me. I don’t really like milk powder. Honestly."

"Mom, please don’t worry about me. I don’t mind at all, really. My sister-in-law works so hard; she’s the one who needs to build up her strength. Besides, she so rarely gets to come back to Beijing, so this is the perfect chance for us to help her get her health back."

Mrs. Qin was very pleased with her response.

At least she was much, much better than the previous daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Qin Wenze had already left on his bicycle.

He had barely pedaled a few times when someone called out to him.

"Brother Wen Ze, where are you headed? Are you going to see Qin Wenhao?"

Qin Wenze stopped and looked at Zan Zi. "I am. Why?"

"I’ll go with you. We haven’t gotten together in ages, and I’m curious to see where he’s living now!" Zan Zi said with a straight face.

’That’s a little strange,’ Qin Wenze thought. ’It’s almost like this kid was waiting for me to come out.’

"Alright, let’s go together then."

Zan Zi was thrilled. "Great! I’ll just hop on the back of your bike."

Before Qin Wenze could react, he had already hopped on the back and settled in.

Qin Wenze was at a loss for words.

’Oh, well,’ he thought. ’He’s already on. I can’t just kick him off now.’

He got back on his bicycle, and they soon arrived at the courtyard house where Qin Wenhao was staying.

"Oh, so this is where he’s living? It’s pretty close by! What a nice house!"

Zan Zi was very impressed.
