Huo Xiao held an umbrella, his eyes burning with concern: "Can I ask you where my brother went?"

His expression was tense: "I have something to ask my brother."

Wen Xia Nuan let go of her guard and looked at Huo Xiao and said, "So you're going to look for your brother?"

She said, "Your brother is on the river. If you're worried, go check him out first."

Huo Xiao nodded: "Thank you very much."

He turned and walked out. Wen Xia Nuan withdrew her gaze and walked back home.

Huo Xiao walked forward step by step in the heavy rain on the river. When he saw Huo Jue's figure appear in front of him, he hurried over and said, "Brother!"

Huo Jue's figure appeared in front of him. Huo Xiao hurried over and looked him up and down: "Brother, I have something to talk to you about."

Huo Xiao's voice came, and Huo Jue waved his hand: "I have other things to deal with, you go back first."

Huo Jue stared at his brother with a burning gaze. Huo Xiao glanced at his brother with an unnatural expression. Huo Jue obviously noticed something was wrong: "Huo Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hesitate."

Huo Xiao's eyes fell on him, and Huo Jue looked at Huo Xiao: "If you don't plan to tell me today, then wait until I get back."

When his voice came, Huo Xiao's expression changed and he glanced at Huo Jue. He didn't expect Huo Jue to say these words.

When he looked at Huo Jue at this moment, he also said: "I understand."

Huo Xiao turned and left. Huo Jue withdrew his gaze and looked at the captain again: "Captain, let's continue."

Huo Jue didn't look like he was in any trouble. The captain's eyes were filled with concern. "Huo Jue, don't you think about why your brother came back?"

Huo Jue was startled and looked at the captain in front of him: "Do you know something?"

He looked serious. The elder was silent for a moment. "Don't blame me for being nosy. I'm just reminding you of some things."

Huo Jue stared at him seriously, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Go ahead."

The captain stared at Huo Jue with a burning gaze and said, "Huo Xiao's return this time is most likely due to Huo Chen's matter."

He patted Huo Jue's shoulder and said, "After all, they are both in town together."

Huo Jue's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously understood the meaning of the captain's words.

He remained silent, and the captain patted him on the shoulder: "But what I said may not be right. Ask it carefully when you go back tomorrow."

Huo Jue nodded. He was worried about something and didn't dare to delay any longer.

He returned home early in the morning after finishing his patrol work.

The aroma of breakfast wafted from the kitchen. Huo Jue strode in. Seeing Wen Xia Nuan cooking porridge, he paused, "Wen Zhiqing."

Wen Xia Nuan looked up when she heard the voice. She put down the spatula and looked at Huo Jue with a smile: "You're back!"

She put down the spatula in her hand and walked over quickly: "Huo Jue, go wash up first, you can have breakfast later!"

Huo Jue also knew that he smelled bad, so he nodded and quickly walked out of the house.

The rain was still falling, and Huo Jue took a cold shower, feeling much cleaner and refreshed.

When Huo Jue appeared in the kitchen, he didn't expect that his grandmother was there too.

She was frying eggs in the pan. Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan who was eating porridge beside him. Before he could say anything, he saw Wen Xia Nuan waving at him: "Huo Jue, come here!"

Huo Xiao also walked in at this moment. Old Mrs. Huo's eyes fell on him and she said with a smile, "Ah Xiao, grandma fried some eggs for you, eat them quickly."

Huo Xiao responded, "Grandma, I'll eat later."

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Jue and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

Huo Jue only glanced at him, and Huo Xiao pursed his lips: "Is Brother Chen's problem because of you?"

Wen Xia Nuan paused while eating breakfast. She looked up and subconsciously glanced at Huo Xiao, as if she had never expected him to say such words.

Huo Jue was still eating porridge. Huo Xiao waited for a long time but didn't hear Huo Jue's voice. Seeing that he was still eating porridge, he couldn't help but reached out and pushed him.

The chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter. Huo Jue froze in his tracks. Even Huo Xiao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks from the ground and handed them to Huo Jue: "Brother, I didn't mean to do that."

Huo Xiao's gaze fell on Huo Jue, and Huo Jue's gaze fell on the pair of chopsticks. His expression was cold: "Ah Xiao, what do you want to tell me about Huo Chen?"

"Is it because he lost his job, or is it because of you?"

Huo Xiao's expression changed, and Huo Jue's eyes fell on Huo Xiao: "You can explain it to me. I want to hear what you want to say."

"Brother, I mean, no matter what, Brother Chen is still our brother. We can't always..."

"Ajue is right! How could brothers do such things? We are not afraid of being laughed at if we tell others about it!"

Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with deep anger: "Huo Jue, you are such a grown-up, and you are still not as smart as your brother!"

As Mrs. Huo spoke, her eyes were filled with smiles as she looked at Huo Xiao: "Ah Xiao, eat eggs."

Wen Xia Nuan was speechless by the old lady's double standards.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at Mrs. Huo calmly: "Madam, I don't agree with what you said."

"What's going on with Huo Xiao now? Can't you see clearly?"

Wen Xia Nuan looked at the old lady and said, "Huo Xiao just can't stand what your eldest grandson did, which hurt his interests, so he joined forces with Huo Chen to deal with Huo Jue!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Huo Jue's current attitude. On the contrary, your whole family relies on him to earn work points, so those who go to school can go to school, and those who rest can rest. Why don't you think about how tired Huo Jue is working in the fields? Why don't you leave the eggs for him to eat?"

Mrs. Huo's expression was grim: "Wen Zhiqing, this is all my Huo family's business, what does it have to do with you?"

Old Madam Huo stared at Wen Xia Nuan with a burning gaze. She took a breath, her expression filled with coldness. "Does this matter require your intervention?"

Wen Xia Nuan looked at Old Mrs. Huo with an indifferent expression: "Our team leader said that enthusiasm is needed to do things. You favor your younger grandson and wrong your older grandson. As an enthusiastic person, what's wrong with me saying a few words?"

She looked at Old Mrs. Huo with a half-smile: "Or do you want me to call the captain to judge the matter and let everyone see how Huo Xiao plans to deal with his own brother?"

"you!"

Old Mrs. Huo was about to curse, but was stopped by Huo Xiao who was standing beside her: "Grandma, wait a minute!"
