Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 333: Let Her Cry Her Fill

Yi Chichi realized there was something going on that wasn’t suitable to discuss in front of her and Yu Dingding.

"Should I take Dingding outside?"

"No need."

Wen Shi quickly refused, "You and Dingding stay in Old Hou’s office, and we’ll go out and talk."

"That’s right, sister-in-law, you and the kid stay here, we’ll be right back."

Hou Dahai quickly chimed in.

Yi Chichi thought it was okay too, "Then you guys go talk."

So, Wen Shi and Hou Dahai went out.

Yi Chichi and Yu Dingding squatted in the office chatting, "Why did you go with him?"

"Mom said he was my uncle, so I thought he was a good person."

"You hadn’t seen him before?"

"...I might have seen him before."

Looking quite hesitant, Yi Chichi’s mouth twitched, "So, you’re not familiar with him?"

"Yeah, not familiar."

"And you still went with him?"

"Mom said I should spend time with my uncle to build a connection."

The child was quite aggrieved too, burying himself in her embrace, muffled, "I didn’t think he would plan to sell me."

Yi Chichi patted him to comfort him, "Don’t be afraid, he was caught by the police, and your mom will be here soon."

Hou Dahai had immediately arranged for someone to notify Nan Juhong, she should be on her way now.

This matter today, who knows what kind of storm it will cause in the Yu Family.

The Nan Family probably wouldn’t fare much better.

There was obviously more to this with Nan Shiping.

"My mom will definitely cry."

Mentioning his mother, Yu Dingding sighed like a little adult, "She’s actually quite fragile and loves to cry."

Yi Chichi, "Fragile, right?!"

Yu Dingding was momentarily stunned, thinking the two terms were similar, nodded, "Pretty much, Auntie, can I ask you a favor?"

"Go ahead."

"If my mom cries when she arrives, could you help comfort her?"

Yi Chichi, "..."

She probably owed this mother and son pair in a previous life, comforting the kid and then the mother.

"Can I decline?"

She really had no experience in comforting adults, "If your mom loves to cry, let her cry it out, she’ll calm down after crying."

Yu Dingding was very surprised, "Will that work?"

"Yes, it will."

Yi Chichi nodded affirmatively, even explaining logically, "Take yourself for instance, don’t you sometimes stop crying after crying for a while?"

"I fall asleep."

He had a say in this, "When I cry, my mom ignores me, and I cry myself to sleep from exhaustion, sometimes my grandparents would comfort me, my aunt as well."

But not his mom, she’d watch him cry, even asking him to cry louder.

Thinking about this, he touched the back of his head, feeling melancholic, said to Yi Chichi, "Auntie, sometimes I feel really helpless."

It wasn’t obvious where he felt helpless.

This mother and son pair actually weren’t helpless, instead, it was she and Wen Shi who seemed quite helpless.

"Let me tell you a story."

Not wanting to continue this topic, she started diverting the child’s attention.

Yu Dingding showed strong anticipation for the story, nodding his head while watching her.

Yi Chichi thought for a while and told him the story of the hero Wang Erxiao.

Yu Dingding listened with fascination, wanting another story after the first, Yi Chichi happily indulged him.

After telling four short stories, Nan Juhong arrived.

She came running, accompanied by Yu Dingding’s grandparents and uncle.

The commotion they caused was quite loud, calling for Dingding as soon as they entered, hearing this, Yi Chichi quickly took Yu Dingding out.

"Mom!"

Yu Dingding called out, and Nan Juhong, who was turning her head all around, immediately turned towards him.

Then—

"Dingding!"

She dashed over and embraced him, the mother and son immediately began a touching reunited scene.

Grandpa and Grandma Yu and the uncle also gathered around, Yi Chichi wisely stepped away, giving the family space.

At this point, Wen Shi and Hou Dahai, who had heard the commotion, also came over. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

What happened next was simple, Hou Dahai dealt with Nan Juhong and her family, while Wen Shi pulled Yi Chichi aside, softly said, "Honey, I can’t accompany you to the Friendship Store."

Yi Chichi looked up at him, "What’s the situation?"

Wen Shi softly said, "It’s a big matter inside, don’t ask."

Yi Chichi said oh, "Then can you come back to the guesthouse tonight?"

"I don’t know."

It depends on whether things go smoothly, if they do, he can come back, if not, he might not even be able to see her off.

"Why don’t you go to the Friendship Store yourself later, don’t eat out, have a meal with Uncle Ning then go back to the guesthouse, I’ll try my best to come back tonight, okay?"

Could Yi Chichi refuse?

No.

After all, Wen Shi was handling official business, she had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I will be careful."

Anyway, the guesthouse was right next to the police station, as long as she wasn’t foolishly flaunting on the street causing trouble, there wouldn’t be trouble finding her.

Even if trouble came, she wasn’t afraid, she had powder and needles with her.

She still had the ability to ensure her own safety.

"Be careful when you’re working."

With that, she asked in a low voice, "Can you carry a gun?"

Wen Shi’s response was to pat her head, "Ask Uncle Ning to treat you to roast goose."

His answer was subtle, deliberately changing the topic.

Yi Chichi didn’t insist, followed his words with a nod, "Okay, if Uncle Ning doesn’t treat me to roast goose, I’ll break off with him."

She didn’t lower her voice, Nan Juhong heard it and immediately chimed in, "I’ll treat you."

"Yes, we’ll treat you!"

Yu’s grandparents walked over gratefully, "Thanks to the two of you for stopping our child’s abduction."

Saying this, they were about to bow.

Wen Shi quickly stopped them, "You two overpraise us, it was our duty."

Not just because Yu Dingding was the son of Yu, even if he weren’t, sensing something wrong, they would have acted.

Better to cause a misunderstanding and apologize later than let the child be taken away.

A child means too much to a family, it wasn’t something they could overlook.

Nan Juhong and Yu’s grandparents genuinely appreciated the couple, insisting on treating them to a meal, but the couple was busy, Yu Dingding’s uncle being a straightforward person, directly took out money and tickets from his pocket to thank them.

"Take this, Dingding is our only child now, he’s too important to us!"

Speaking, he tried to stuff money and tickets into Wen Shi’s hands.

Wen Shi naturally refused, emphasizing his identity and old comrade-in-arms relationship with Yu, suggesting if they really wanted to show gratitude, they should consider thanking the police officers instead.

He and Yu could have a long-term friendship.

Grandpa Yu, being wise, quickly understood the implication in his words, seeing his younger son still trying to give money to Wen Shi, immediately stopped him, "Listen to Mr. Wen."

"Hmm?"

Younger Yu had a puzzled look, Grandpa Yu, exasperated, "Show appreciation to the police officers."

Younger Yu understood this time, nodded repeatedly.

Yi Chichi didn’t quite know how he intended to show appreciation to the police officers, anyhow, Younger Yu left with the money and tickets, having collected everything from the grandparents and Nan Juhong.
