Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 264 I let you into the Lu family, and you give me the beauty pills?

There are few people in Xinhua Bookstore. These days people can barely get enough to eat and books are not cheap, so not many people come to buy books.

Gong Mingjie cleared out a corner with a small round table and a few chairs, where Xu Qinghuan and Song Wanlin sat and talked.

This was the first serious conversation between the mother and daughter. Jiang Xingye went to the supply and marketing cooperative across the street to buy two bottles of soda for them, and waited outside himself.

"Tell me, what are you doing here after coming all this way?"

Xu Qinghuan glanced at Song Wanlin's sallow face. He looked much more haggard than when she first met him.

Her skin was covered with spots that could not be covered by makeup, and her nasolabial folds became very obvious. She even seemed a little older than the last time she saw Song Wanlin at Lao Mo's restaurant.

That's how it is. The poison will slowly take away her beauty and vitality. Her face will wither like a flower, and her life will be defeated by the autumn wind like a weed.

If the 36-year-old Song Wanlin looked like a 26-year-old young woman when they first met, then at this moment, she seemed to have aged ten years. Even though she had always lived a life of luxury and was good at dressing up, she still looked disheveled.

"Huanhuan, are you going to treat Mom like this every time we meet? You said I neglected you all these years, but tell me, is it the same with me or without me? Without me, even with the 1,800 yuan your father left behind, do you think Xu Liqun and his wife would have raised you well?"

As soon as Song Wanlin said this, tears came out. She cried a little exaggeratedly and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. After her makeup was smudged, her face looked like a palette.

Xu Qinghuan took a sip of soda. "Have you forgotten that my father had many comrades-in-arms? Those uncles and aunts never forgot me, and never gave up on me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to endure these fourteen years of suffering in Xu Liqun's house."

She was like an abandoned child, and Song Wanlin told the Xu family that it would be fine if she didn't die.

Song Wanlin cried, "Mom has no choice. If possible, Mom would also like to raise you personally, but..."

"If you asked me to come here to tell me this, then I won't accompany you."

Xu Qinghuan had no patience at all. She sat here just to know Song Wanlin's intentions.

Song Wanlin finally wiped the tears from her face. "Huanhuan, the last time I came to see you, I was exhausted from all the traveling. You know, your stepfather is a womanizer. I checked, and he was indeed having an affair with that woman at work."

Xu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, smiling but not smiling, full of sarcasm.

"Isn't this a normal thing for you? You can betray my father, so why does that mean Lu Ranglian deserves to be with you all his life? You're old, and he likes new things. I thought you understood this a long time ago."

Song Wanlin looked at her in shock. "Huanhuan, I didn't betray your father. I was with your stepfather only after he sacrificed himself."

Xu Qinghuan was defeated by her shamelessness. "I heard that Lu Mingxu was born almost three months prematurely. Is this true? She was born so prematurely and still survived, weighing 6.72 jins! It's truly a miracle!"

Song Wanlin endured it for a moment, and continued calmly, "Huanhuan, you're my daughter. If your mother is well, you'll be well too. I have no reason to lie to you. No matter how good your father was, he's gone after all. We're the closest mother and daughter to each other in this world."

Xu Qinghuan was also patient and turned her face away.

"You're not married, and you've never had children. Don't just listen to what others say about having children. Your uncles and aunts may not all have good intentions..."

Xu Qinghuan couldn't stand this.

"Ms. Song, have you forgotten that I am a doctor?"

Song Wanlin opened her mouth, but instantly lost her voice. She started crying again, "So what do you want? You think I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to raise you. I admit that we live far away, and I did make some mistakes, but no matter what, I am your mother."

Xu Qinghuan said, "I only have one request of you. You and I don't know each other. I'm not your daughter, so don't even think about being my mother."

Song Wanlin shook his head. "Huanhuan, you know this is impossible. You're my only daughter..." "Do the people in Yancheng know that you're pregnant before marriage? Do they know that you're a widow remarrying? Do they know that you have a daughter who's a burden? Do they know that you've abandoned your daughter for fourteen years and never even visited her?"

Xu Qinghuan was relieved to see Song Wanlin's frightened expression. "No, didn't you pretend to be an unmarried young girl when you married into the Lu family? How are you going to explain this to the people of Yancheng?"

Song Wanlin pursed her lips and said, "Huanhuan, if I let you into the Lu family, I don't think you would be willing. Even if you were willing, would your uncles be willing too?"

Xu Qinghuan no longer wanted to use this tactic of retreating to advance.

"I do, of course I do. How do you know I don't want to? Unless you are not my mother at all." Xu Qinghuan said.

Song Wanlin didn't dare to agree, "Huanhuan, life in the Lu family isn't as good as you think."

"Why is it bad? At least I don't have to work in the fields, right? I can eat my fill every day, right? Do you know what life is like in the countryside? Lu Nianying told you about it, right?"

Lu Nianying did say that the last time Song Wanlin came, she cried and wanted to go back, not wanting to stay here.

Song Wanlin said, "Since you want to return to the Lu family, I'd love for you to do so. When I get back, I'll discuss with your stepfather and have you return to the city as soon as possible. But before that, Huanhuan, can you help Mom out?"

It finally came, and Xu Qinghuan actually felt a sense of relief.

She didn't say anything, took the soda and drank it, waiting slowly.

"Huanhuan, were you the one who gave Shen Xiuqin the beauty pills?" Song Wanlin was so excited that it seemed like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Yes, but that's all." Xu Qinghuan smiled.

Song Wanlin couldn't help but clench her hands on the table. She took a deep breath and said, "Huanhuan, Mom knows you still have it. Since the last time I came to see you, my health has been getting worse day by day. I look much older.

Otherwise, your stepfather wouldn't be out there... Huanhuan, we are mother and daughter after all, right?"

"You dare to take the pills I gave you?"

Song Wanlin was stunned for a moment, "Why not?"

In fact, she really didn't dare. She was not stupid. After getting the beauty pills, couldn't she send them to an institution for testing? Maybe she could even get the formula.

"Huanhuan, you are my daughter. How could your mother not believe you? Is it because you ran out of medicinal materials that you couldn't make the recipe? Otherwise, write down the recipe for me and I will find someone to make the same one for me." Song Wanlin coaxed.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If you want the beauty pills, divorce Lu Ranglian, let Lu Mingxu follow you, and change your surname to Xu. I will give them to you immediately."

Song Wanlin couldn't believe it. "Huanhuan, my presence in the Lu family is good for both you and Mingxu. You can't stay in the countryside forever. With the support of the Lu family, you can find a better partner in the future."

Xu Qinghuan stood up and asked, "Do you think I care about these?"

Seeing Xu Qinghuan about to leave, Song Wanlin hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'll let you into the Lu family, but you give me the beauty pills?"
