Chapter 179: 182 Husband and child go shopping2_1

Sanitary...pads!

Sanitary...pads!

The checkout operator at the convenience store couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw the last item Qin Muchuan was purchasing. He stared and stared some more!

"How much?" Qin Muchuan asked as he ignored the surprised look on the cashier’s eyes.

"Oh.... the total is 307," the cashier answered after a moment’s hesitation.

Qin Muchuan paid up, grabbed a huge bag in his hand and signaled his two little brats to head home with him.

The moment the three of them left the store, the whole place buzzed with excitement.

News spread like wildfire: "That man who was just here with two children? That’s Qin Muchuan, the CEO of the Huatai Group!"

"What? The big tycoon?"

"Yes, the guy who’s worth billions!"

"Such a big shot came shopping at a convenience store? What did he buy? He wasn’t planning to take over the store, was he?"

The salesperson immediately answered: "You all guessed wrong, he came to buy sanitary pads."

"Sanitary pads?" Someone gasped in surprise.

"Yes, probably for his child’s mother?" the salesperson speculated. "He even asked me if the pads were good quality, if they were the best! He really cares about his wife. And guess what, all the pads he purchased were my suggestions!"

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock once again, especially the women—they were filled with envy and jealousy. "Who is this lucky woman who managed to marry such a wealthy and considerate man?"

"Yeah, that woman is lucky beyond words!"

Pondering over that, everything seemed all muddled up!

..............

Looking at what her father bought, Qin Yutong vaguely felt a sense of mystery. She had seen advertisements for this thing on TV, with all the promises of avoiding side leaks during the day and night. It was always depicted as something pretty older sisters used, but she didn’t really know what it was!

Where would you use it? In the kitchen?

Mom didn’t seem to like cooking!

Is it used for laundry? But laundry doesn’t involve the problem of side leakage, does it?

Well... what on earth was Sophie’s overnight pad?

Unlike his sister, Lin Haoran, didn’t care to guess. His full attention was on a bag full of snacks. "Mom loves jelly, she loves yogurt, and chicken wings are also her favorites. Sister, you and mom have the same taste buds!"

"Really?" Qin Yutong was both surprised and curious. "Does Mom also like snacks?"

"She loves them!" Lin Haoran nodded vigorously as he enthusiastically shared a story. "Mom was an orphan. She grew up without parents, living in foster homes. According to mom, foster care meant living at the mercy of others’ faces, watching other kids eat snacks while she couldn’t have any herself. So, now, whenever she sees snacks, she is reminded of her childhood. She was such a pitiful little girl, and she wants to compensate for the past!"

"Mom was an orphan?" Qin Yutong was taken aback. She had always thought that her mother was just working out of town.

She assumed that her maternal grandparents were far away!

To think that Mom, who always had a smile to spare, was actually a child without parents!

Qin Muchuan was also dumbfounded. He had deployed a detective to investigate Lin Xiangwan because she was his wife. Not that he didn’t trust her, he just wanted to understand her past.

However, the investigation report didn’t arrive. He only learned through his son about her tragic childhood, and his heart ached for her!

Could he conclude that her constant smiling was not optimism, but her attempt to cover up something? Like not wanting others to see her sadness?

This woman... should he say she’s overly resilient or hypocritically pitiful?

"Ranran, why didn’t you tell me sooner!" Tears slipped from Qin Yutong’s eyes as she thought of her mother’s childhood—it tugged at her heartstrings.

Having to watch as others ate and not being able to eat any herself—what would that be like?

Just thinking about it was enough to shatter her heart!

Lin Haoran touched his short cropped hair, not taking it seriously, replying, "What are you talking about? Mom is not pitiful now, in fact, she’s quite terrible. Whenever she buys snacks, I have to do the purchasing, but she never saves any for me. And she would lecture me, saying this one has preservatives, that one has trans fats, and that one has too many additives, that one has artificial coloring... She doesn’t let me eat anything..."

As he complained about this, there was a slight whine in Lin Haoran’s voice. "Actually, these snacks are of the kind that girls like, and I don’t really care much for them. It doesn’t matter much if she doesn’t give me any. But she can’t make me clean up after her snack binging — packing up pair after pair of wrappers is what she makes me do!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yutong was torn between laughing and crying. So, not only did her mom endure being bullied, she bullied others too. "If mom tells you to clean up, just clean up. What’s with all the complaints?"

Not satisfied with the lesson, Qin Yutong even raised her hand and hit her brother on the head.

Listening to his daughter’s words, Qin Muchuan nodded in agreement.

Lin Haoran touched the spot on his head where it hurt and felt particularly upset. "I did clean up, but mom never shows any appreciation. She says that I look like a landlord’s son so she needs to abuse me to balance her feelings. No matter what I do, she never thanks me!"

What on earth is this about?

"Hmm..." Qin Muchuan chuckled without saying a word, the first sound he’d made in a long time.

This woman’s mentality...quite interesting. Despite the bitter experiences in her childhood, she was truly optimistic!

Qin Yutong glanced at her dad and asked softly, "Dad, do you count as a landlord?"

"Well... what do you think?" Qin Muchuan was quite reluctant to associate himself with the term ’landlord.’ It sounded so dull and uncool!

"Dad is a capitalist!" After contemplating for a while, Qin Yutong gave her brother a very resolute answer. "Actually, what mom said was rather apt!"

..............

Lin Xiangwan was awakened by the waves of heat surging through her again while she was fast asleep.

At that moment, Qin Muchuan walked in!

Seeing the woman lying with her eyes wide open on the bed, Qin Muchuan smiled. "Awake?"

"Hmm!" She was still weak as she asked, "Did you get the stuff?"

"Is this it?" Qin Muchuan handed her the plastic bag.

It was a large, large pack. Just by estimating, Lin Xiangwan figured it would last her a whole year!

"You bought so much?" She asked in astonishment.

"Hmm... Butler didn’t know which type of Sophie’s you normally use, so he bought one of each!" Qin Muchuan replied, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Oh, the Butler is really thorough!"

"Yeah..." He continued to be ambiguous.

Lin Xiangwan tried to get up, but she could distinctly feel her pants being soaked. How could she get up?
