The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The dinner was actually tasteless.

Lin Ming did not ask Chi Yufen about what happened during the day, and pretended not to know.

As for Chi Yufen.

Perhaps she was afraid that Lin Chengguo would let the cat out of the bag and make Lin Ming worried.

Or perhaps she was upset because she suffered a loss in the market.

In short, no matter who talked to her, she looked absent-minded.

This made Lin Ming more determined to help his parents get rid of their anger!

Otherwise.

Whether it was Chi Yufen or Lin Chengguo, it would probably take a long time to digest this matter completely.

And Chi Yufen would probably not go to the farmer's market to buy vegetables in the future, but would take a long detour to go to other places, or supermarkets.

"It's time to change places and find a nanny." Lin Ming thought to himself.

In the past, Chi Yufen was unwilling to hire a nanny.

But as time went by, Chi Yufen got older and older, and she was no longer competent for many things, or she was no longer needed.

It doesn't matter if she wants to let Lin Ming and Chen Jia take care of the children.

She doesn't need to worry about things like buying groceries, cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning.

...

August 17.

8 o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, Lin Ming sat at the dining table and watched Chi Yufen busying around.

"Mom, why don't we hire a nanny?"

He suddenly said: "And this house feels a little remote, I plan to change to a villa."

"Why do you suddenly think of changing houses? Didn't you say before that you plan to develop a batch of villas yourself and move in when the time comes?" Chi Yufen asked.

"That's still early." Lin Ming shook his head.

"I feel that living here is pretty good. Besides, why hire a nanny? It's always inconvenient to have an outsider at home." Chi Yufen said again.

Lin Ming knew she would say that.

He sighed immediately: "Actually, there is nothing inconvenient. The nannies won't meddle in other people's business. It will save you a lot of worry, right?"

"Where do you plan to move to?" Chi Yufen said.

Lin Ming looked happy, and felt that Chi Yufen was about to give in.

He quickly said: "How about Haishu Yunxia? It's a famous villa area in Landao City. Many of my business friends live there. If we move there, it will be much more convenient to talk about things."

Chi Yufen was obviously moved by these words.

She didn't refuse again.

Just said: "Then you decide for yourself, but in this building, there are only two families, ours and Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang originally lived in your house. If we suddenly move away, will she and Uncle Song feel uncomfortable?"

"Mom, the villa in Haishu Yunxia is very big. At worst, I can buy a townhouse and let Grandma Wang and her husband move there." Lin Ming said.

"That's a good idea. The old couple are good people. They talk about you and Chen Jia every day, and often take Xuan Xuan to play on Sundays."

Chi Yufen said: "If we move away suddenly now, it always feels like we are deliberately avoiding them. If we don't take them with us, I'm afraid they will move back to their original place."

Lin Ming nodded: "Then it's settled. Let Chen Jia be the lobbyist."

"Okay, you should go to work too. Be careful on the road."

After Chi Yufen finished speaking, she was about to clean up the dishes.

"Mom."

Chen Jia blinked: "Are you going to the market to buy vegetables today? I also want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made."

Chi Yufen paused.

Then she said lovingly: "Okay, okay, if you want to eat, mom will make it for you, but the bones bought yesterday are not fresh, so I won't go to that market to buy them today. I'll find another supermarket."

"Will it be far?"

Chen Jia asked: "Besides, don't you always go to that market to buy vegetables? We ate well last night, why do you suddenly want to change places?"

"It's not fresh to go to that market all the time. I'll go somewhere else to have a look."

After Chi Yufen finished speaking, she took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Chen Jia looked at Lin Ming here, with helplessness on her face.

Parents are like this, especially honest parents.

They are obviously at a disadvantage, but they are unwilling to mention it to their children, but they feel depressed in their hearts.

Chi Yufen would rather take a detour to other places than to look at the faces of those vendors again.

"Mom."

Lin Ming said in a deep voice: "We all know what happened yesterday. If others make you and my dad uncomfortable, I will make them uncomfortable!"

In the kitchen, Chi Yufen sighed secretly.

Lin Ming and Chen Jia said so much, how could she not know why.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It is not easy for them to make a little money. There is no need to bother with them." Chi Yufen said."It's OK that your son was incompetent before, but now we are successful and famous, why should I let you look at other people's faces?"

Lin Ming snorted coldly: "Besides, those vendors are short-changing, which is illegal. If you swallow your anger today, they will be more arrogant tomorrow!"

Seeing that Lin Ming would not give up, Chi Yufen was actually a little relieved.

When young, the son is honored by the mother, and when old, the mother is honored by the son!

After living a depressed life for so many years, now that I have my son to support me, I am really proud!

"Then don't do it, there are so many eyes watching in the market, and your identity is different after all. If someone uses it to make a fuss again, you will become unreasonable even if you are right." Chi Yufen advised.

"I understand." Lin Ming nodded.

...

10 o'clock in the morning.

Qihe Farmers' Market.

As a meat vendor who has been working here for more than ten years, Shao Qianwei is sitting comfortably on a recliner, calculating yesterday's profits.

Thinking of the old woman who liked to bargain, Shao Qianwei showed a wave of disgust on his face.

He was really tired of the old woman, and he was in a bad mood yesterday, so he just cursed.

As for the consequences?

There were no consequences at all.

The vendors around him were all familiar faces with him for many years, and they would definitely stand on his side.

Even if he made trouble to the market, he had people behind him, and he could turn black into white.

So he just took yesterday's incident as a vent and didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing that there were more and more customers in the market.

Shao Qianwei also whistled and started to set up his stall.

Soon.

The first batch of customers today came.

But this batch of customers looked a little special.

A few familiar faces wearing the uniforms of the Market Administration Bureau, and two young men and women wearing masks.

"Hey, Lao Yan? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Shao Qianwei had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

He said with a smile: "Are you planning to eat meat at noon? Just tell me what you want, I'll pay for lunch!"

His words made the middle-aged man called 'Lao Yan' change his expression again and again.

Lao Yan didn't say anything yet.

The young man wearing a mask came over and took out a photo.

"Do you know them?"

Shao Qianwei stared at the photo for a while, and his eyelids couldn't help twitching.

Aren't these the two old guys who were scolded by him yesterday?
