Chapter 827 I miss you
Qin Tai was kept outside the villa by Chen Xiaomei and had to stand guard for more than a week.
The Chen family never let Qin Tai in.
Qin Tai often saw the nanny and Chen's mother taking care of the child in the yard through a door.
Chen Xiaomei was in confinement and couldn't be exposed to the wind, so she could only worry in the house.
She felt like she couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to find Qin Tai, to nod in agreement. Okay, then let's get married. Let's get married.
But Chen's mother was unwilling, saying that she agreed too easily and Qin Tai did not know how to cherish her.
So the current situation is that Chen Xiaomei is anxious inside and Qin Tai is anxious outside.
This move of Chen's mother was more of a torture to Chen Xiaomei than to Qin Tai. Chen Xiaomei was afraid that one day Qin Tai would be disappointed and simply not come. Who would she find to cry to then?
In the afternoon, Chen's father went out to collect rent. He was carrying a bunch of keys and happened to see Qin Tai.
"Uncle, where are you going? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Collecting rent for a long time is tiring. Father Chen thought, isn't this free labor? Qin Tai is standing anyway, so he might as well move around to avoid running up and down the stairs collecting rent.
Father Chen rarely showed a good face to Qin Tai, "Qin Tai, I have to go collect rent, I may be a little too busy."
"That's easy. Where can I find an uncle? I can help you."
Father Chen glanced into the room and thought, since Qin Tai was not allowed to come in anyway, wouldn't it be normal to ask him to help with some housework?
"In the past, Xiaomei was the one who collected the rent."
Father Chen deliberately said, "Xiaomei has just given birth to a child and is in confinement. I am the only one who can run away with my old bones."
Qin Tai heard this and said, "I'll take care of this matter, uncle. Just tell me how to collect it."
"Then listen to me, these keys have labels on them, you just need to run one by one."
It sounds simple, and Qin Tai is so bored that he is almost getting tired of it.
"Okay, uncle, wait for my news."
From morning to night, Qin Tai was busy all the time.
Everyone envies those who collect rent, but only when they actually do it do they realize how tiring it is.
But the Chen family is the type of family that, even though they have a lot of money, they are reluctant to spend it. They are unwilling to even hire anyone, and everything is absorbed internally.
It was already evening when Qin Tai finished. He walked to Chen's door and rang the doorbell. He felt like his waist was about to break and his legs were weak.
He probably completed his life's journey.
Chen's father went to open the door himself, and Chen's mother scolded him for being immoral.
"How can you let Qin Tai go? He hasn't even married Xiao Mei yet. It's so bad."
"He's idle anyway, so why not let him do some work? He made Xiaomei cry a lot before, didn't you say so? Give him a lesson."
Although Chen's mother said that Chen's father was immoral, she was still very happy in her heart. Seeing Qin Tai so tired, she felt refreshed from head to toe.
At the door, Father Chen opened it and said, "Qin Tai, thank you for your hard work. Are you tired?"
"Not tired, not tired."
How dare he complain of being tired? Qin Tai was actually almost dead from exhaustion, and he wanted to find a place to sit down.
But Father Chen pretended not to see it and just took the key, money and list from him. "The rent is all in there, right?"
"Yes, it's very heavy uncle, go slowly."
"It's okay, it's okay. Qin Tai, find a place to have a good rest. Goodbye."
Father Chen just locked Qin Tai outside the door and didn't even mention going into the house to invite him for a cup of tea.
After tormenting Qin Tai for a whole day, Chen's father felt that he had vented his anger. Although Chen's mother didn't say it, she was also happy.
"What? You asked Qin Tai to help you collect rent?" Chen Xiaomei was devastated when she heard the news. "Dad, how could you do this? When has Qin Tai ever done such rough work?"
"Haha, why are you yelling? My daughter gave birth to a pair of daughters for him, and I just ordered him to do some work. What's wrong with that?"
Mother Chen also snorted coldly, "That's right. Letting him work is showing respect for him. If you don't let him work, he won't even be qualified to squat at our doorstep."
Chen Xiaomei felt sorry for Qin Tai. "You, you let him run away for a whole day. He has been waiting here for so many days. He just wanted to see the child, but you didn't let him in."
Although she also wanted to take revenge on Qin Tai, Chen Xiaomei felt that this was enough.
Grandma Chen said, "Your parents are doing this for your own good, Xiaomei, you have to listen to them."
Chen Xiaomei sat down, wearing her confinement clothes and hat, "I really made him sick from working so hard, what should I do in the future?"
Both Chen's mother and father saw clearly that Chen Xiaomei was wholeheartedly on Qin Tai's side. No matter how cold-blooded her words were, deep down she always put Qin Tai first in her heart.
Chen's mother: "Don't scare yourself. It's not easy to get sick from exhaustion. He's in good spirits."
Father Chen: "That's right. I make this trip every month, but I don't get sick from exhaustion. Why don't you come to care about me?"
Chen Xiaomei had no choice but to sit down and eat, still looking outside.
Qin Tai was sitting on the stairs outside, and those who didn't know him would think he was begging for food.
After dinner, Chen Xiaomei watched her two daughters sleeping in the cradle while the nanny was changing their diapers.
"Mom and Dad, it's almost time to let Qin Tai in, right? It's cold outside, at least let him come in and have some soup."
Chen Xiaomei already regretted listening to her parents and ignoring Qin Tai for so long.
She paced back and forth in the living room anxiously, "I can't stand it anymore. I want him to come in. It's been so long. Is it about time?"
Chen's mother said, "Don't be so aggressive. If you ignore him, all your efforts will be wasted if you meet him now."
"I will die tonight if I don't see him."
Father Chen said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Why are you saying such unlucky words so late at night?"
"I've been thinking about him these past few days, and I've wanted to open the door for him every day, but you guys insisted on stopping me. If I could go out and get some fresh air, I would have wanted to open the door right now."
As she spoke, Chen Xiaomei got excited and was about to go out to open the door for Qin Tai. Chen's mother quickly pulled her back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"My own man has been waiting outside for a week, and today you sent him to collect rent. How hard it is. Since Qin Tai will be my husband sooner or later, of course I have to take care of his health. What will happen to me and the child if something happens to him?"
As she spoke, Chen Xiaomei was so excited that she started crying, tears falling instantly.
Father Chen frowned and said, "You are just too nice to him. He has you in his hands."
"I don't care. Lovers don't care about being cautious. He knows he ignored me in the past. He just needs to correct his mistakes. I will forgive him and go find him. I miss him."
At this time, Chen Xiaomei couldn't wait to invite Qin Tai into the house, wanted to make him some hot soup, and hold Qin Tai to sleep.
Seeing that she couldn't get the upper hand, Chen's mother said, "Okay, I'll go and open the door for him myself. Is that okay?"
