230: 230 Too Unreliable (Second Update) 230: 230 Too Unreliable (Second Update) Liao Xianghe looked at the old lady protected by Tie Bao, and seeing that she seed spiritually well, he relaxed his worried heart and made a big decision, “I agree to go with you to the police station.”
Liao’s helpers looked at him, thinking their threat had worked, “Brother, that’s right.
You have to own up to what you’ve done.”
He paused, “Don’t worry, I’ve got Granny.
I will take good care of her.”
As long as Liao Xianghe was willing to take the bla, taking care of Granny for a few days was manageable.
Liao Xianghe glanced at the old lady, “Mom, don’t worry, your son knows what to do.
This ti, I won’t disgrace you again.
Just watch.”
He swore that after this ordeal, he’d live an upright life, sever ties with his past self, and show her a life she could be proud of.
A mother knows her son best.
With just a look from Xianghe, the old lady knew what he ant and nodded, “Don’t worry about .
I won’t die anyti soon, and even if I do, I want to die with dignity.”
Liao Xianghe nodded at the old lady and turned to go to the police station.
Liao’s helpers didn’t care about Liao Xianghe’s motives as long as he got to the police station.
Whether things were black or white, it would no longer be within Liao Xianghe’s control.
Liao’s helpers waved his hand, “Follow.”
“Boss.” Baldie ca over with so people, “You take Granny back to the village.
I think Xianghe will know what to do.”
Seeing Baldie arrive, Liao’s helpers eagerly stepped forward, “Big Brother, why are you here for such a trivial matter?”
“After all, Xianghe and I are like brothers.
Naturally, I should see him off.”
“Big Brother is always the most loyal.” Liao’s helpers obsequiously said, “Big Brother, Liao has already agreed to go to the police station now, and I will take him there.”
“Let him go by himself.
We’ll take Granny ho.
As long as Granny is safe and sound outside, Xianghe will have the peace of mind to reform himself inside.” Being a brother for so many years, Baldie clearly understood who Liao Xianghe was.
Being a personal matter, Baldie had to make sure himself that Liao Xianghe wouldn’t double cross.
Realizing Big Brother’s concern, Liao’s helpers imdiately nodded, “Yes, you’re right, Big Brother.
I’ll take Granny ho now.”
Big Brother is indeed thorough in his actions.
As long as they had Granny in their hands, even if Xianghe wanted to create trouble, he wouldn’t be able to, being the wise man he is, he would surely understand the consequences.
The old lady scoffed, “Since you’re taking care of , it should look like it.
It’s a long way from here to our village, and I can hardly walk.
You figure it out.”
Liao’s helpers approached with a smile, “It’s a small matter, Granny.
Don’t worry, we have a car, I’ll arrange a ride for you right away.”
“I’m too old, I can’t sit in that thing,” the old lady looked at Liao’s helpers, “Help, why don’t you carry back?
I’d feel safe on your back.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable with anyone else.”
Liao’s helper’s smile froze on his lips, “….”
If it were anyone else, he would definitely want to curse at this mont.
With Big Brother right there, and Xianghe yet to confess, he gritted his teeth, “Granny, it’s just carrying you ho.
Don’t worry, I’ll carry you back.”
The old lady smiled, “I knew you were a good kid.
You really are a good brother to Xianghe.”
“Mom.” Xianghe called out to the old lady as she was about to climb onto Liao’s helpers’ back.
The old lady didn’t even turn her head, “From when you were little to now, do as I taught you.
Rember, you are i Sanying’s son.
Knowing your mistakes and correcting them makes you a good child; repeating them, and I will act as if I never had you as a son.
That’s where our mother-son relationship will end.”
“Baozi, please take care of Mom,” Xianghe said, understanding everything the old lady had said.
He was determined not to let his mother be ashad.
Thinking of sothing, he pulled out a set of car keys from his pocket, “Baozi, the truck keys are still with ; please hand them over to Boss Su later.”
Tie Bao nodded without further comnt.
The old lady lay comfortably on Liao’s helpers’ back.
“Baozi, have you and your wife had children?” The old lady was in a good mood, chatting with Tie Bao on the side.
“Not yet,” Tie Bao said, a bit embarrassed, “I’ve had health problems since I was young, being infertile.
Chunli doesn’t mind, and we plan to adopt.”
“With dical advancents, work hard and later you can go to a big city for treatnt,” the old lady glanced at Tie Bao.
“That’s what I’ve been thinking.
If we are really fated not to have kids, we will adopt.” Tie Bao had co to terms with it.
As for male pride, what of it?
Listening to the old lady casually chatting, Liao’s helpers spoke up, “Granny, with Liao having done what he did, he will be locked up for at least twenty years.
You must keep your health up, as if you never had Liao as a son.”
“Why should I care about him?” the old lady said, tone devoid of sadness, “When my husband died, I felt like the sky had fallen.
Yet, here I am, having survived.
His fate today is the result of his past actions.
I’m not worried about it.”
Tie Bao silently gave a thumbs up, admiring that the old lady was no ordinary person.
Liao’s helpers said nothing.
Deeming it pointless, he no longer wished to talk anymore.
She thought to herself, once you know your son has only a few days left to live, then you can say these words.
“Lower, it needs to be a bit higher,” the old lady instructed.
“Why are you walking so slowly, did you not eat enough?”
“I don’t trust anyone else to carry ; what if they deliberately drop ?
What would I do if I were to die from that?”
All the way, the old lady kept finding ways to tornt Liao’s gang while Tie Bao suppressed his laughter.
Liao’s gang really wanted to throw the old lady away and hoped she would breathe her last.
…
At noon, Xiaofeng was in a good mood and cooked a few small dishes herself.
These dishes were all from space.
The eggplant was soft, the green vegetables were tender, and the radishes were both tender and sweet.
If it weren’t for her stomach being full, she would have liked to eat three more big bowls.
The things from space were indeed unusually delicious; if this went on, would she end up gaining weight?
“Xiaoqi,” Xiaofeng wiped her mouth and chatted with Xiaoqi, “I seem to be able to eat more.
If I eat this much every day, will I beco so fat later that I can’t bear to look at myself?”
She had seen people in the modern world who were pregnant with twins, and by the later stages walking beca a problem, not to ntion doing household chores; it was completely impossible.
Her stomach was so big that she could not even see her own toes; thinking about having two babies, would she end up the sa in two months?
“Master, don’t worry, with , Xiaoqi here, you won’t get fat at all,”
“Can you guarantee that?”
“Of course,” Xiaoqi was very proud, “have you forgotten my duties?
My duty is to protect you and the young masters.
Moreover, the vegetables grown in space are rich in Spiritual Energy.
As long as you eat a al a day from there, I guarantee you will still be brisk and handling affairs in the factory until the day you give birth.”
Having Xiaoqi around, the master’s daily life was not a problem at all.
“But what about my stomach?
Will it get as big as a ball?” That was her biggest concern; if it really got as big as a ball, even with abundant Spiritual Energy, it would still affect her mobility.
“It should be fine, it won’t be too big.
The babies are protected by Spiritual Energy and might not appear large in the womb.”
Xiaofeng was skeptical, but she hoped it was true; otherwise, how would she manage her daily life in two months?
Thinking about it, it seed she needed to plan the work arrangents for the two days before giving birth and the two months afterward.
After resting at ho for a while and just about to leave, Mantou hurried over, “Boss Su, Brother Baozi sent to relay a ssage that everything is safe with the big mama.”
Xiaofeng nodded, “Tell him to protect the big mama well; he mustn’t be careless.”
“Brother Baozi says there are a lot of people from the other side at the big mama’s place, and he’s worried he can’t handle it, so he asked to ask you to co over,”
Although Brother Baozi was sowhat capable, he was no match for so many people from the other side.
…
Liao Xianghe had been in the police station for five hours, and no news had co out; at this mont, at i Sanying’s house in Liao’s village, the room was crowded, everyone sitting in the hall, motionless.
Baldie glanced outside; the sun was about to set, and still no news had co out.
Whether Xianghe had confessed or whether the police believed him, all was unknown.
From the outside, i Sanying’s house looked closed up; it didn’t seem like anyone was at ho.
Inside the room, no one spoke, just sitting or standing listlessly.
The old lady sat at the dining table, her eyes tightly shut, as if there was no one around her.
Suddenly, the front door was knocked on, a particularly jarring sound in this crowded but silent space.
Baldie frowned and looked out the window, only to see a blue corner visible.
After a while with no response from inside, a clear female voice followed, “Big mama, are you there?
I’m Su Xiaofeng, Xianghe’s boss.”
The old lady stood up to open the door, but Baldie stopped her.
The old lady simply sat down again.
“Big mama, Xianghe hasn’t co to work today; did he co back ho?
He took my truck keys this morning, and now I need to deliver goods and don’t have the keys.
Big mama, are you there?”
“It’s Miss Xiaofeng,” the old lady heard soone was looking for keys, despite Baldie’s intervention she replied, “He ca back for a bit then left again.
He did ntion leaving the keys with to pass to you; just wait, I’ll get them for you now.”
Tie Bao took out the keys from his pocket and handed them to the old lady, who pretended to bring them to Su Xiaofeng while complaining, “This kid, so unreliable, isn’t this causing trouble?”
