【Tales of the Old City】(Chapter Thirty-Three)

Thirty-three

. It was already the last days of summer, and the weather was unbearably hot.

Xiao Ma finally returned.

When Xiao Ma appeared before Yan Rong, Yan Rong was completely unprepared. Carrying a large bag, she stood at the shop

entrance. Yan Rong looked at her and said, "Aren't you coming in?" Xiao Ma timidly cried, tears welling up in her eyes, "Auntie!" Yan Rong

was startled , not knowing what had happened, and quickly pulled her inside, sitting her on a chair in the shop. "What's

wrong? " she asked

. Xiao Ma just kept crying, remaining silent for a long time. Yan Rong knew something serious had probably happened, so

she quickly poured her a glass of water and gave it to her. "You've been gone for half a month," she said, "why did you come back crying? Did

you have a fight ?" Xiao Ma shook her head, her eyes red.

Yan Rong asked, "Then what happened?" For a long time, Xiao Ma still didn't speak. Yan Rong said, "Child, if you have

something to say, just say it. Don't sit here crying. There's a solution to everything. What's wrong with you?"

Little Ma sobbed for a long time before finally stopping. She looked up and said, "Auntie, close the shop and let's

talk ." Yanrong thought about it and agreed.

As soon as Little Ma returned to the small house, she closed the door and threw herself into Yanrong's arms, wailing loudly. Yanrong was so angry that she

pushed her away. "If you have something to say, just say it. I'll help if I can. Don't cry like Liu Bei. What's the use? Tell me,

what's wrong!" Little Ma stood there for a while before saying, "Auntie, something happened." "What happened?" "I

can't go on! I can't go on like this!" Little Ma was still sobbing softly.

"You silly child, did you two have a fight or what? What's wrong with you?

What have you been doing these past few days since you got back?" "Yu Xi is a bastard! A complete scoundrel!" Yan Rong immediately guessed what was going on. "What? Yu Xi is

having an affair?" "He really is a scoundrel! It's embarrassing to even say it out loud—Auntie, you're not an outsider,

so I'll tell you. Otherwise, I'll really feel uncomfortable. When I got home, Yu Xi was already home. He

was just doing his job normally, planning to stay for a couple of days and then come back. Who knew that Yu Xi came back with something going on? He's having an affair.

" Working away from home, far from his wife and children, it wasn't surprising to Yan Rong that her husband was having an affair.

She just couldn't understand why Xiao Ma, who was usually so open and cheerful, was so agitated.

"He went to work in Guangxi and got involved with the landlady who rented his place there. Auntie, if it were any other woman,

it would so bad, but do you know how old that woman was? She was 50! He wouldn't even let a 50-year-old

woman go, and she was short and dark-skinned!!! What kind of man is that!" Yanrong was genuinely shocked.

"Not only did he sleep with her, but her family found out. He got beaten up there. They

kicked him out, but then he found an opportunity, cornered her husband on the street, and broke his leg.

After that, he ran home. And then—and then, more than a dozen people from Guangxi came to his house!

" Yanrong listened, dumbfounded. She muttered, "How could this happen! How could this happen?" "That man's son is almost

thirty! He came to our house and started smashing things and making a scene! He said he'd report us to the police station, accusing him of rape!" "Was it

rape?" "Yu Xi said that woman seduced him. Who the hell knows what really happened! His

son and nephew insisted he raped him. His family was so scared they collapsed on the ground." "Then

why did he call you back?" "That idiot! He didn't expect them to chase him back to his hometown. He thought hiding would solve everything.

He just wanted to act like nothing happened, rest at home, and then go out to find work again!" "So what did they do?" Yan Rong

asked anxiously. "Auntie," she said, starting to cry again, "their family said they'd compensate them, let them ask for whatever they wanted

, even 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. They wouldn't agree. Later, a man from Guangxi said, 'You slept with

our family, so we'll sleep with yours too. Let us have your wife first.'" Yanrong was so frightened that she quickly

looked Xiao Ma up and down, asking, "Those bastards—you weren't hurt, were you?" Xiao Ma shook his head. "

They were just venting their anger, but I didn't expect their family to actually agree. His father, who is my father-in-law, actually dragged Yu Xi

into the house and discussed it. Yu Xi came out and told me, 'I just pushed the door open and went in to tell the old man, if

your family is willing to hold a funeral, I don't care about dying!' The old man was so scared he peed on the ground, saying it was just a thought, just

a thought, they can't actually push me out! My mother-in-law also cursed them both as bastards." "So how was it resolved in the end?

" "Later—later even the village officials got involved. The village treated them to a meal at a restaurant and even opened a hotel for them in

town . In the end, they said it would be through financial compensation. They gave them 150,000 yuan!" "They got compensation?" "

What else could they do?

Even after they got compensation, they weren't happy. Before leaving, they even came to my house and stomped on him a few times to vent their anger!" "Oh,

it's good that it's resolved! Money can buy peace!" Yanrong comforted her, though she knew such words were

meaningless .

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Then what about you?" Xiao Ma wiped away her tears, revealing her capable side again. "

The Guangxi man left, and I immediately told that bastard I couldn't live with him anymore. I wanted a divorce.

" "How can you just get a divorce like that? Can't you discuss it some more!" Yanrong herself was divorced; she knew

how much suffering women endured after divorce, and she instinctively wanted to dissuade her.

"Not divorce? How can I live like this? He's all sweet talk at home, but when it really matters, he wants to give me

away , and he's even planning to watch me die! How can I live with a man like that! That man is truly despicable!

He'll sleep with a woman over 50! Just thinking about it makes me sick! I've washed myself a hundred times, and I still feel disgusted by him; he's made me dirty too!

" Yanrong thought about it and agreed; this man was indeed unethical.

"How can I stay at home? The whole village, the surrounding villages all know about this. He's shameless enough, but ...""Where do I put my face? I told him I'd get a divorce right away, but she kept dragging her feet. I told her I wouldn't come back to this house if she didn't divorce me. We went and got the paperwork done yesterday." Yanrong exclaimed, "Really divorced?!?!?!" Xiao Ma, on was calm. "Divorced. Damn it, I told him to stop being so arrogant, he's a real bastard." He still gritted his teeth as he spoke. 　　"What about Niu Niu?" "I didn't ask for anything in the divorce. His family wanted 150,000 yuan, but they also borrowed a ton of money. My condition was that Niu Niu is mine, but your family will raise him until he starts junior high. Once he starts junior high, I'll bring him to the city to attend school." Yanrong breathed a sigh of relief. "It's best if this doesn't have a big impact on Niu Niu. Kids, really."

"I sent him to his maternal grandparents' house during this time. He probably won't know much about

what happened when I go back." Xiao Ma felt even more heartbroken thinking of her son.

Yan Rong comforted her for a long time before Xiao Ma calmed down. Before leaving, Yan Rong asked, "What are you thinking

about ?" "What else can I think? I'll just work at the shop now. Auntie, you won't abandon me, will you?" Xiao Ma

was like a frightened bird.

"What are you thinking? How could I abandon you?" Yan Rong stroked her hair. "I

really missed you these past few days. Rest well these next few days, don't think about those things anymore. Come back to the shop when you're in a better mood

!" "No, I'll go tomorrow. I can't sit still alone."

Life is unpredictable; Yan Rong had been thinking about this constantly these past few days. These days, marriage, husband and wife—what kind of false

concepts are they? There are no unbreakable vows in this world; only one's own desires and pleasures are real.

Xiao Ma was clearly also deeply affected by this. Although she wasn't always frowning, Yanrong

could sense that Xiao Ma was burdened with worries, especially around closing time. Xiao Ma insisted on staying a little longer, saying

she didn't want to go home alone and was afraid.

Yanrong said, "If you don't mind living here alone, don't live here alone. Move in with us. I

have a spare room; I'll tidy it up, and you can move in." Xiao Ma resolutely refused.

Old Cao came often, but he seemed unaware of Xiao Ma's situation, and Xiao Ma wasn't in the mood to joke with him. Yanrong,

however, found him reliable and kind, and sometimes enjoyed talking to him. Later, Old Cao

started calling her at night. The two rarely ate out, but they would go for walks every few days. They

didn't dare let Haoxuan know, only saying they were going out for exercise. Lying in bed at night, she would sometimes think of Mingxu

.

Haoxuan hadn't really noticed anything unusual about his mother's behavior. Firstly, the summer before his senior year

was incredibly busy with tutoring, filled with tests, exercises, and rankings. Secondly, whenever he had a spare moment, he thought about Ji Qin,

Binglan, and those wonderful nights. He really wanted to visit Aunt Binglan; he even went to her house once,

but no one answered after knocking for a long time. He left in a daze. He did call Ji Qin

, but only through Grandma Yang's house. Aunt Ji arrived after a long time, and they hung up after only a few words. She

asked about his studies and health, but before he could even say "I miss you," she hurriedly said, "Okay,

you should rest well," and that was it.

Haoxuan especially looked forward to the short break before the new semester started, hoping he could

find an excuse to visit Aunt Ji. But then he heard that the break wouldn't be taken anymore, because they were

organizing another mock exam. Haoxuan was incredibly disappointed by this news. As the start of the new semester drew closer,

the rumor was increasingly confirmed by evidence. Hao Xuan's last remaining hope was shattered. These past few days,

he forced himself to concentrate on his studies, but he always seemed unable to focus. He felt

he .

A few days before the start of the new semester, Hao Xuan returned home after 7 PM. Before going upstairs,

he heard voices inside. He listened intently and thought it sounded like Aunt Ji's voice, but he quickly told

himself it was a hallucination. However, he was still excited and knocked on the door. His mother opened the door, and there sat

Ji Qin at the large table!

For a moment, it felt like a dream!

Hao Xuan squinted, looked closely, and sure enough, it was Ji Qin, sitting at the table smiling at him. Only then

did Hao Xuan call out, "Aunt Ji." Yan Rong laughed and said, "Heh, you didn't even recognize your Aunt Ji when she came back ! You

were stunned for a while." Hao Xuan felt embarrassed. Ji Qin smiled gently. "He never expected me to come back.

" Turning to Hao Xuan, she said, "Just finished class? Tired?" Yan Rong pouted. "See how much your Aunt Ji dotes on you.

Go put your bag down and wash your hands." Hao Xuan finally came to his senses, throwing down his bag

as he asked, "Aunt Ji, why are you back now?" Ji Qin said, "Nothing much, just

some meeting at school. I don't want to go to class next semester, so I need to take care of some paperwork, and that's why I came.

I also wanted to see you guys."Yanrong stood up and said, "Look how good your Aunt Ji is to you.

Can't you go wash your hands first and then talk to me? It's such a hassle." Haoxuan ran to wash his hands with lightning speed,

then rushed back and sat down at the table. Yanrong said, "I'll heat up your food, Aunt Ji, please sit down."

She turned and went to the kitchen.

Seeing his mother leave, Haoxuan grabbed Ji Qin's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt Ji, I missed you,

I missed you so much! Last time I called you..." Ji Qin immediately made a shushing gesture and

lowered her voice saying, "Auntie missed you too. We'll talk when we get back. Auntie will stay here for a few days." Haoxuan's heart was pounding,

as if a thousand horses were trampling through his heart. But hearing that Ji Qin could stay for a few more days filled him with

uncontrollable joy. He let out a long sigh. Looking at the woman he had been longing for, he was at a loss

for words.

In the blink of an eye, Yanrong had already brought out dinner: a few steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, a stir-fried pork dish, and

a plate of beef. "Are you starving? Why are you so late coming home today?" "The teacher said there's a test paper." Haoxuan

grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it in his mouth.

Yanrong watched her son eat with gusto and chuckled, "Look at you, like a starving ghost. Eat slowly, no one's going

to take it from you." Turning to Jiqin, she said, "Kids these days are really tired. He only went to your place for two days this summer,

and he hasn't had a break since. He's been attending classes the whole time. Luckily, he can still keep up with the meals." Jiqin smiled gracefully and

said, "You're a good mother, cooking all sorts of dishes. I couldn't do that." Hearing the word "mother"

seemed hit a nerve. Yanrong frowned slightly but couldn't help asking, "Any news about Zhaolong?" Jiqin shook her head

without saying a word.

Yanrong knew this topic was a bit awkward, so she said, "Hey, he'll give you some news sooner or later." Ji

Qin gave a wry smile and didn't answer.

Yanrong watched her son eat for a while, then looked up at the clock and said, "Oh, I have to go exercise. Okay,

Haoxuan, put down your food and go read a book. Aunt Ji, I'm going out for a walk, hehe, you watch over me now..."

"It's become a burden." Ji Qin smiled. "Exercise is good for your health. We really need to pay attention to our health at our age.

" Hao Xuan immediately chimed in, "Mom, I want to go play at Aunt Ji's house first." He said it confidently because

he felt a little guilty.

Yan Rong looked at Hao Xuan and felt that the child was indeed very tired from studying. She also felt that he and Ji Qin had a deep relationship, so she

nodded. "You, you just like to bother Aunt Ji. Aunt Ji, she—doesn't she need to rest? Aren't you

annoying her?" Ji Qin said quietly, "It's okay. I like Hao Xuan too. This child—is so lovable." Yan Rong

said, "Loved my foot—he's a real rascal," as she went into the house to change her clothes. "If you like him, you can take him with you.

"

Ji Qin chuckled and said to the house, "Are you willing to part with him?" Yan Rong came out after changing her clothes and said, "After he

gets married and has a big, fat grandson, I can bring the grandson back." Ji Qin said, "You're really dreaming!" Looking back, she saw

Haoxuan wolfing down his food and quickly said, "Eat slowly." Yanrong was both amused and annoyed. "You're really impatient. From now on, you

should recognize your Aunt Ji as your mother." Ji Qin said, "Last time he came to our place, I introduced him as her

godmother ." Yanrong felt a little sour, but then she thought that her son was hers anyway, and she couldn't take him away, so

she continued to joke, "Oh, then we'll have to have a drink together to formally recognize him. But being a godmother means buying

the child new clothes every year." Ji Qin said, "Buy them!" Watching Yanrong leave, she heard her remind Haoxuan, "Don't stay out

too late, or you'll disturb your godmother's rest. She still has to study when she gets back."
