When it was time for dinner, Lin Qingping smiled and said, "I should have been the host, but since you want to go home for dinner, I will invite you two another day."

Wu Tianjiao stared at her with a look in her eyes: Good guy, are you making fun of me?

Lin Qingping looked back: I'm not kidding, you two are really funny...

Wu Tianjiao tapped her nose and told her, "Remember this, Xiaopingzi. First, if you want to treat him, just treat him. Don't mention the word 'we'. He and I are not in this relationship! Second, I am the one who wants to go home for dinner. It has nothing to do with him!"

"Okay, okay, I'll remember it. I'm sorry, Da Jiaojiao!" Lin Qingping held back her laughter. Only now did she realize that Wu Tianjiao really loved calling people "little XX".

I don’t know how to describe it, that powerful woman suddenly had a different side to her. She was already a radiant person, and now she had an extra touch of color.

"Let's go. I'll send you back first." Wu Tianjiao stood up.

Expert Shen stood still and looked at her gently, "Jiaojiao, should I go back by myself first, or go with you?"

"Can't you just not go?" Wu Tianjiao replied unhappily.

Expert Shen was not angry either. He was still gentle and looked at her with a smile, "Okay, then I won't go."

"You..." Wu Tian said angrily, "If you don't go, my dad will nag me again! Do you want to harm me?"

Expert Shen laughed, "Then I'll go by myself and accompany Dad right now..."

Seeing Wu Tianjiao's expression change, he immediately changed his words, "Talk to the old man first."

Wu Tianjiao snorted coldly, "Let's go."

This "let's go" was said to Lin Qingping, and Wu Tianjiao sent the family of three home.

Along the way, Wu Tianjiao did not mention what was going on between her and Expert Shen, and Lin Qingping did not ask, but Lin Qingping always felt that if there was really a reason why Wu Tianjiao had to divorce, Wu Tianjiao would not have the attitude she had today.

Forget it. Such private matters are only discussed when Lin Qingping and Wu Tianjiao are alone. It might be difficult this time. She will definitely carry the palm beads with her when she goes out. As long as she carries the palm beads, Gu Juncheng must follow her. Otherwise, she won’t be able to do the job and take care of the child at the same time by herself.

When getting off the car, Lin Qingping saw her mother-in-law standing at the gate of Gu Youlian's yard looking over here from afar. Lin Qingping pretended not to see it and walked beside Gu Juncheng, covering her beads tightly.

Liu Fen stood on tiptoe and stretched her body left and right, but she couldn't even see the small blanket wrapped around the palm bead. She was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down, and the chubby little hand of the palm bead that had flashed past her a few days ago kept shaking in front of her eyes.

"With such chubby little hands, the baby must be strong, and the little brother born in the future will also be a strong one. Why doesn't the baby want to be born?" Liu Fen sighed.

Lin Qingping couldn't hear the muttering anyway.

Ever since Liu Fen came, Lin Qingping's family no longer went to her eldest sister's house for meals. They either ate out or went home to cook for themselves.

Lin Qingping fed Zhangzhu first, changed her into clean clothes, and let Gu Juncheng play with her. She planned to cook some noodles in the evening.

Lin Qingping also said to him, "Are you really not going to have dinner with your parents?"

Gu Juncheng was holding his daughter and playing with her. Recently, his daughter had become obsessed with listening to him playing the harmonica. Whenever she started to make noises, he would stop playing the harmonica and look around with his bright eyes, as if he was looking for the source of the harmonica sound.

Lin Qingping asked him a question, and he paused playing the harmonica, "Lin Qingping."

"Hmm?" The water boiled and Lin Qingping put a handful of noodles into the pot.

"I want to talk to you about my attitude towards my parents?"

Lin Qingping laughed. How could this be like reporting work to the leader? "You say."

"Lin Qingping, first of all, thank you for bringing Zhangzhu to me. I cannot describe in words what Zhangzhu means to me. So, what my parents did to you and Zhangzhu is an unforgivable mistake in my heart. However, they are my parents, and I have to fulfill my obligations as a son." Gu Juncheng was always very serious when he spoke, just like in a meeting, and now he was even more serious.

Lin Qingping said nothing.

"Lin Qingping?" Gu Juncheng's eyes flashed with uneasiness, "Do you mind?"

"It depends on how you fulfill your obligations." Lin Qingping stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks.

"When you get older and need care, and you get sick or in pain, I will be responsible, but I promise that I will not appear in front of you and make you unhappy."

"Oh..." Lin Qingping asked again, "Then how will you take care of them? Are you going to separate from me? They are old and need to be taken care of. Where can you live so that you can take care of them?"

"If I'm still on the island at that time, I can apply for another one or borrow from other brothers. If I'm not on the island, it's much more convenient outside." Gu Juncheng paused, and then said, "There's just one thing, I may need to withdraw part of my salary from you."

Lin Qingping turned around and looked at him, smiling, "Only take yours, or part of it?"

"Yes. One third at most."

"Is that so..." Lin Qingping seemed to be thinking about something. "Will others say that I am unfilial? Isn't the purpose of marrying a wife to honor your parents-in-law?"

Isn't this what many people think? A daughter-in-law is married to serve her husband, be filial to her parents and raise children.

Gu Juncheng was puzzled, "Why do you say you are unfilial? They raised me, not you. It is my responsibility to be filial."

"Husband and wife are one, inseparable!" Lin Qingping said casually, but she was still shocked in her heart. Gu Juncheng actually thought like this? This idea was more advanced than the decades she had lived in her previous life.

"Yes, you can also fulfill your filial duties on my behalf when I'm not at home, provided that we get along well and both are willing. After the incident with the pearl, some cracks probably cannot be repaired." He pondered.

"Then...what if I'm unwilling to give you one-third of your salary? We have two children and need to plan for their future, which costs a lot." Lin Qingping glanced at him after she finished speaking to see if he was angry.

As expected, his brows furrowed slightly.

I thought he was going to argue with her, but unexpectedly, he sighed deeply, "Lin Qingping, I still owe you too much."

"what?"

"Zhiyuan, this shouldn't be your responsibility." He said, "You can just take my salary. I don't need to pay it from you."

"Then what do you have in mind?" Lin Qingping was curious.

"Maybe in a few years, wait..." His eyes became far-sighted.

"Gu Juncheng! Have you ever thought that your salary is our common property, but so is my money!" Hasn't he thought that she is a rich woman?

Without even thinking about it, he said, "Keep your money for yourself."

Lin Qingping:......

Zhangzhu, however, became impatient and protested by wagging her hands and dancing: the harmonica has been off for too long! She even kicked her father in the face.

"Okay, okay, dad will play the piano for you."

In the evening, in the two-story building, the melodious sound of harmonica rang out again, this time it was the song "Night in the Naval Port".

The night in the naval port is quiet, and the waves gently rock the warships...
