Misplaced Relationship - Chapter 71

Chapter 71
I have money
At this time, all restaurants were closed, only the late-night snack stalls were still open. Yan Wen found a restaurant with private rooms that looked clean and ordered
A famous local salty bone porridge and steamed dumplings, plus a few stir-fried dishes.

The box was not big, but it was much quieter with the door closed than sitting outside. Li Li carefully observed her mother’s condition at this time and found that not only were her eyes red,
It was a little dark, and there seemed to be a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. When he touched her palm, he could feel that it was rougher than before.
He frowned and asked, “Mom, have you taken any part-time jobs recently?”
Zhao Qiu was a little evasive at first, but after being stared at for a while, he couldn’t help but confess, “Well, it’s not a lot of time at night, I, I found a restaurant for
I work as a dishwasher in a food stall.” Her voice got lower and lower as she spoke, her face full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Li Li frowned even deeper. When he thought about the time when the food stall would close, he felt distressed and a little angry. “You have to work during the day and work part-time at night.
How many hours a day can you sleep if you have a job? Is it true that you didn’t catch a cold last time? You were just tired, right? ”

He wanted to say a few more words, but Yan Wen handed him a cup of tea at the right time. “Here.” He picked up another cup of tea and placed it in front of Zhao Qiu, his expression gentle and polite.
“Auntie, drink some water first.”

Zhao Qiu thanked him quietly, but felt awkward looking at him and wanted to avoid him. Thinking of his son’s sexual orientation, he felt a tightness in his chest.

She didn’t expect it to end up like this.

Although her own child was much more mature than his peers, Zhao Qiu could still tell from the details that he was different from other boys.
It can be felt that Li Li’s eyes have never lingered on girls of the same age. Since junior high and high school, there have been so many girls who stuffed love letters into his pockets, but he threw them into the box without even opening them.
In the trash can, on the contrary, she pays more attention to men. So Zhao Qiu has always had a vague feeling that her son’s sexual orientation is different, which makes her nervous and panic.
That’s why she keeps insisting on “getting married, having kids and having a perfect family”, hoping that her son won’t take that special path.

Every time Li Li agreed with her answer, Zhao Qiu could feel that he was not serious. Later, she saw the man kissing him. The scene was like
It was like giving her a blow.

But she was still deceiving herself, thinking that her son could still follow the “normal” path that was considered “normal” by the general public.

But now, that outer layer has finally been torn off.

The dishes were served. The tableware had been washed by Yan Wen. He served two bowls of porridge in an elegant manner, one in front of Zhao Qiu and one for Zhao Qiu.
When we got to Li Li, “Let’s eat something first and then we can talk.”

Zhao Qiu took the bowl hesitantly. He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn’t open his mouth for a while and could only drink the porridge in silence.

Although no one had eaten dinner, no one had a strong appetite and stopped eating after eating almost nothing. Li Li asked first: “Mom, what happened?”
What happened? Why did you want to withdraw money? And why did he put the necklace in your bag? ”

Zhao Qiu thought that Yan Wen was still here, and it was a bit embarrassing to talk about it, so she looked at him. Yan Wen noticed it and said calmly, “Auntie, don’t worry.
I am your attorney now, and I still need to mediate this matter with the other party, so I need to know the truth. But please rest assured that I will not pass these things on to others.
Those who are involved know.”

Zhao Qiu rarely comes into contact with people like him. Just from the aura, he cannot treat him as a junior, but he also knows that it concerns his reputation, so he still said softly:
“I took out the money to return it to…him.” She glanced at Yan Wen, then at her son. “You said before that I was supporting him, so I was thinking about whether I could return some of the money.
I could have let you end the contract earlier… I have earned a little from part-time work in the past few months, plus my salary, it is only 40,000. I want to get 80,000, and then I will tell Mr. Su
I said I would take an advance of 40,000 yuan from him.”

Although Li Li felt that his mother’s thoughts and actions were somewhat naive, he could not blame her.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you will understand how painful it would be for a mother to find out the truth that her son had engaged in a money-for-sex transaction with another man.

Yan Wen said: “But he only gave you 30,000 yuan?”

Zhao Qiu nodded. “He gave it to me five days ago. I didn’t think much about it. I just thought he was worried about giving me so much in advance. After I went back, I found out that
I found out that he had put a gold necklace in my bag. I called him after I found out and he said it was… a gift for me.” Zhao Qiu’s voice became softer and softer.
These few words are a bit vague.

Li Li frowned, but Yan Wen’s expression remained calm. He asked, “Auntie, your employer, Mr. Su, usually makes advances towards you.
”

Zhao Qiu was originally shy, and her cheeks turned red at this moment. She nodded with difficulty: “Yes…” But she quickly explained: “I didn’t
I have never crossed the line in any way.” She looked a little flustered, as if she was afraid that the two of them would not believe her.

Li Li was slightly relieved when he heard her last sentence. Yan Wen continued to ask: “Does anyone else know about the advance payment? Did you write an IOU?
have?”

Zhao Qiu said: “Teacher Liu also knows that my mental state was not very good some time ago. Teacher Liu noticed it and asked me if I wanted to help. I want an advance on my wages.
I first told Teacher Liu about the loan, and she told her son, Mr. Su, who then gave it to me. Now I know that the loan he made was his own.
Private money. I wrote an IOU, even though Mr. Su said it was not necessary, I still insisted on writing it. ”

Yan Wen asked, “You found the necklace in your bag and wanted to return it, but Mr. Su was not at home?”

“He happened to be on a business trip.”

“Then why didn’t you think of returning it to Teacher Liu? They are mother and son, can’t you just let her pass it on? Or Mrs. Su.”

Zhao Qiu said hesitantly: “I didn’t know that the necklace belonged to Mrs. Su, so I thought it would be better to return it to Mr. Su directly, and give it to Teacher Liu or Mrs. Su.
If I do, how can I explain it…”

Yan Wen paused and said directly: “So through this necklace and the money, Mrs. Su knew that her husband had a crush on you?”
Although the police officer spoke cryptically at the time, anyone with a little intelligence could hear the true meaning of his “family ethics”.

“Yeah.” Zhao Qiu looked like he didn’t want to recall the past. His face turned pale and he couldn’t help but clench his son’s hand.

Yan Wen quickly sorted out the matter, “Mr. Su gave you his wife’s necklace, hoping that you would sell it to solve your problem. He was trying to please you. But
His wife found out and denied the gift in order to clear herself from any involvement, leaving you to be charged with theft.”

Zhao Qiu nodded with a pale face, and then a little panicked, “What should I do now?”

Yan Wen said: “It’s best to mediate. The police also mean this now.”

Li Li immediately said: “I will go find that Su guy tomorrow!” It would have been bad for him to have bad intentions towards his mother before, but now he is so disgusting.

Yan Wen said, “I’ll go tomorrow, you stay at home with Auntie.” He gave Li Li a soothing smile and his tone was much gentler, “Don’t worry,
I will take care of it, and I know who to talk to first.”

Zhao Qiu saw the smile and tenderness in his eyes when he faced his son. At first, he was worried that the other party was brought back by his son to act in a play, but now he felt that it must be
real.

Her husband used to look at her with the same eyes.

Something suddenly flashed through his mind, and Zhao Qiu couldn’t help but asked in surprise: “You said before… your name is Yan…?”

Yan Wen said: “My name is Yan Wen. Maybe you are not familiar with me, but my brother is Lili’s roommate.”
Zhao Qiu finally remembered it and said awkwardly, “Last time… you gave me perfume…”

Yan Wen smiled politely and said, “It’s just a small token of my appreciation.”

“At that time, you…” His chest felt stuffy again. Zhao Qiu looked at his son and said with some sadness, “Lili, you really can’t change…
Are you coming over?”

Before Li Li could speak, Yan Wen said, “Auntie, you may have a misunderstanding about the homosexual community. This is not a disease, but a normal thing.
It is just a little more niche than the average sexual orientation, so there is no need to change it. If you still don’t understand, I can find a few papers for you to read.
I think you can understand it now.”

Zhao Qiu was not good at speaking, and Yan Wen’s words were well-reasoned, so she didn’t know how to refute them. After a long while, she whispered:
“But, but if that’s the case, I won’t have a child…” Her eyes were moist. “I have such a cute and well-behaved child like Li Li, of course I also hope that I can have a child like Li Li.
My own children will also have such a wonderful baby in the future…”

Yan Wen said calmly: “Auntie, even in the marriage between a man and a woman, there are those who choose not to have children. Some do so by choice, and some are forced to do so.
Forced to choose, so not every human will have offspring. I think the feelings between us can enrich our lives. We like each other,
Love means staying together for a lifetime. Not having children may be a loss, but it is definitely not a regret. ”

Although Li Li knew that Yan Wen was usually very serious and that his profession as a lawyer gave him strong persuasive logic, he did not expect that he could be so good.
This “knot” that had been bothering him for so long, and that he thought he had to hide from his mother for the rest of his life, was actually loosened up by his mother in just a few words.
.

Zhao Qiu increasingly felt that what he insisted on was untenable. His son was gay and liked men. So what if he really found a man to spend his life with?
Moreover, this person was so outstanding that Zhao Qiu couldn’t find any fault with him no matter how picky she was. But she still couldn’t accept it and couldn’t help but ask another question.
“It’s okay to be young now, but how are you going to take care of yourself when you’re old and have no offspring?”

Yan Wen added tea to her while saying, “Even if there are offspring, it doesn’t mean they will be filial and take care of their parents until they die. I have taken on many cases where
Parents sued their unfilial children for not fulfilling their maintenance obligations, but in the end, they could only be awarded the minimum maintenance fee in court, which was usually less than 1,000 yuan a month.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, “Besides, my family is very rich, and I have good earning ability. Auntie, you don’t have to worry that Lili and I will end up living on the streets when we get old.”
It’s a tragedy that this happens.”

His last sentence obviously stunned Zhao Qiu. The woman widened her eyes, slightly opened her lips, and could not utter another word.

Yan Wen put on a sincere look and asked, “Aunt, do you still have any concerns about me and Lili being together?”
