Chapter 27: The Zhou Family
Seeing the man walk away without hurrying, Qing Yao asked in a low voice, "Qinghe, who is that?"
Li Qinghe shook her head, "I've never seen him before."
Then she heard Qing Yao's mother's voice coming from behind,"I know him. He is Wanwan's father."
After hearing the words 'Wanwan's father', Li Qinghe immediately thought of Li Fu, but then remembered that this is Zhao Wanwan's biological father.
Zhao Tianfu?
Did Mrs. Qian actually still have contact with him? Does Li Fu know that?
Qing Yao was puzzled, but she stopped asking when she heard her mother's words.
There are hundreds of households in the village, and everyone has a different surname. It is normal if she doesn't know him.
Li Qinghe bid goodbye to Qing Yao and walked with a piece of mixed grain pancake stuffed by Qing Yao's mother. She didn't have to wait long to see Mrs. Qian.
As soon as Mrs. Qian turned her head and saw her. She moved her feet, panicking as if she wanted to hide, but she held back and stood still, waiting for her to approach, "Qinghe, where have you been so early?"
Li Qinghe took a bite of the cake and calmly said, "To return the shoe samples."
Mrs. Qian also knew that Li Qinghe had borrowed the shoe samples to make shoes for Zhou Chengkang.
Looking at her with a calm expression, Mrs. Qian asked Li Qinghe, "When you were returning, did you meet somebody on the way?"
"Yes." Li Qinghe replied. She saw Mrs. Qian's face paled instantly and she continued, "The third aunt from the next door who was going to town to buy coarse grains."
Mrs. Qian sighed in relief, "Hurry up. When we go back, help with the cleaning of the house. The Hu family will come in some time."
Li Qinghe didn't reply to her. She wanted to scare Mrs. Qian and asked her, "Where did Aunt Qian go so early in the morning?"
When Mrs. Qian heard her question, she was startled. She smiled reluctantly and hurried her steps unnaturally, "I washed clothes yesterday, and when I got back, I found one piece of cloth missing. So I went to the river bank to find it."
Li Qinghe asked in a curious tone,"Have you found it?"
"Several people came and went there yesterday. This must have been taken by someone. How could I possibly find it?" Mrs. Qian replied, shaking her head.
As they approached the house, Mrs. Qian became calmer and calmer.
After entering the courtyard, they saw Li Fu had already gotten up and washed. When he saw them enter the door, he asked, "Where did you both go?"
Although it was just a casual sentence, Li Qinghe saw Mrs. Qian squeezed her hand in an instant from the corner of her eye.
"I went to return the shoe samples." Li Qinghe approached near the water tank and fetched water to wash.
"Clean up the yard. Are you waiting for the Hu family to arrive and see our dirty yard?" Li Fu asked without further ado.
When the in-laws come to visit, one is certainly more polite to them than to ordinary guests. As there are many people in the family, it wasn't Li Qinghe's turn to clean, and also they didn't have many brooms.
The sun gradually rose, but no one appeared at the door. Zhao Wanwan initially sat in the house with restraint, peered out the window periodically, then she gradually ran to the yard to look at the road outside a few times, and eventually stood at the door.
