Wen Tang and her best friend Chi Yue stumbled upon a true and false heiress novel on a fiction website. Unlike typical stories of this trope, the two heiresses weren’t pitted against each other�...
Chapter 61 It's not easy to talk
After Xu Ancheng finished speaking, Xu Huaishan, who was sitting there, blushed.
Xu Huaishan's face flushed red, and he felt embarrassed facing his own child. "I have loved her, but I am not afraid of her."
After saying that, he went back to the house.
After he left, Xu Anming and the others began to discuss without restraint, "Is mom really going to quit living with dad because of this?"
Xu Ancheng nodded, "It seems that he is tired of serving."
Xu Ansheng frowned when he heard this, "My father is the same. He just needs to pour the basin of water for washing feet himself."
"My mother is getting older every year. How can I still order her around like I did when she was young?"
His wife Li Juan patted his arm and signaled him to stop talking.
Li Juan was afraid that her father-in-law would strike back. If he heard what her husband said, wouldn't he say that her husband was on her mother's side?
Don't wait until the family is divided, because this matter will favor the eldest and third sons.
Xu Ansheng stopped talking, but Xu Anming spoke up, "But we can't just let this happen because of this. We are old and can't just give up if we can't agree!"
Hearing what his eldest brother said, Xu Ancheng immediately thought of what Wen Tang said, "It's not a big deal. The last straw that broke the camel's back doesn't weigh much!" Xu Ancheng copied it completely.
Xu Anming frowned at him when he heard it, and Xu Ancheng quickly explained, "It wasn't me who said that, it was Yan Li's wife who said that."
Seeing Xu Anming's frown deepen, Xu Ancheng whispered, "Yan Li's wife also said that our mother would rather give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to us."
"What's burning?" Xu Anxin's face was also full of question marks.
Xu Ancheng shook his head. "It's not a good thing anyway."
Xu Ansheng couldn't help but say, "This Yan Li's wife doesn't look like someone who is easy to talk to."
Xu Ancheng nodded immediately in agreement, "It's not easy to talk about it at all."
"So our mother won't be back tonight?" Xu Anming asked.
Xu Ancheng nodded and said, "I definitely won't be coming back."
"No, let me pick it up tomorrow. It's too late today."
Xu Ancheng and Xu Ansheng both nodded, agreeing with what their eldest brother said.
The next morning, Xu Anming came to Gu's house.
While Gu Juyuan and the others were still not getting out of the field, the people arrived.
Gu Jin also got up early. She slept in Gu Shuhe's room yesterday.
There was no snoring beside her, and she slept so comfortably, which was a rare occasion.
Sleep well and wake up refreshed early in the morning.
She didn't want to live with Xu Huaishan anymore.
She thought it would be a great thing if she had a piece of land and a house of her own to live in alone.
So when Xu Anming came to Gu's house, Gu Jin, the mother, asked him angrily, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Anming: "..."
"...Come, come and take you home."
After Xu Anming finished speaking, Zhong Meixian saw him and said, "Anming is here, have you eaten yet?"
Xu Anming smiled and nodded, "Aunt, I've eaten."
"Then sit down, I'll help you move a stool."
Xu Anming waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, auntie, I won't sit down. I'm here to take my mother home. I'll be leaving in a moment."
Gu Jin laughed angrily when he heard this, "I'm leaving if you come to pick me up?"
"You think it's weird."
Xu Anming: "..."
He first glanced at Zhong Meixian awkwardly, and Zhong Meixian quickly turned around to find a stool. Xu Anming then walked towards Gu Jin and lowered his voice, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Just because my father asked you to pour the foot washing water?"
"Wouldn't it be over if you didn't fall next time?"
His words directly angered Gu Jin so much that he punched him with his hand, "I've been down for decades, and he doesn't remember my kindness. You can't see it either."
"I didn't pour it once, and he immediately gave me a stern look, kicked over the foot basin, and made the foot washing water all over the room. You all blame me, right?"
Xu Anming didn't know there was this, he opened his mouth and just said "Dad has a bad temper..."
Gu Jin was so angry that he hit him with his head. "He has a bad temper. I deserve it. I deserve it."
Zhong Meixian moved a stool over and saw Gu Jin bumping his head against Xu Anming, so she quickly stepped forward to hold him back.
Holding Gu Jin, Zhong Meixian advised Xu Anming, "Anming, why don't you go back first and wait until your mother's anger subsides."
Xu Anming was so embarrassed by the collision that he could only nod awkwardly, "Okay, aunt, I'll go back first."
Lin Liansheng came over with a shovel from the next yard, and when he saw him leaving, he said, "Anming, why don't you sit for a while?"
"I'm not going to sit down anymore. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first," Xu Anming said with a wry smile.
Lin Liansheng didn't ask any more questions, and just said, "Drive slowly on the road."
After Xu Anming left, Gu Jin sat in the kitchen wiping her tears again.
I didn't think it was a big deal when I was enduring it before, but now that I can't endure it anymore, I realize that I have so much grievances.
Xu Anming ran back but failed to bring the person back. Xu Huaishan went down to the field carrying a shovel, and then kept his head down, not saying a word the whole morning.
Xu Ancheng asked his second brother, "Second brother, do you think that mother can really stop living with father?"
Xu Ansheng shook his head; he wasn't sure either.
Wen Tang really thought that the scallion egg pancake made by Zhong Meixian was delicious, so after getting up and eating in the morning, Wen Tang began to flatter his mother-in-law, "Mom, your pancake is so delicious, your ancestor was a chef in the palace, right?"
Zhong Meixian was so flattered by this that she didn't know whether to scratch her head or her butt. She just grinned and said, "If you like it, Mom will make it for you again."
Wen Tang immediately smiled and replied, "Okay!"
Zhong Meixian "..."
Zhong Meixian: Then which good family eats vegetable pancakes made with eggs every day?
I need eggs, oil, and flour...
Wen Tang had already brought a basket and a shovel, and took Chi Yue with him, "Come on, Mom, let's go dig up some wild onions."
"I still remember where Jiaojiao took us!"
Zhong Meixian sat there, looked at the basket in Wen Tang's hand, then looked at Wen Tang's belly, and then stood up.
On their way back from digging green onions, they met Xu Ancheng's second aunt.
When the second aunt of the Xu family saw Zhong Meixian, she greeted her, "Where are you coming from, Aunt Ancheng?"
Zhong Meixian smiled and said, "Bring the two children to dig some wild onions. The two children want to eat vegetable cakes."
As soon as they greeted each other, Xu Erbo's mother-in-law He Lianlian reached out and grabbed Zhong Meixian, and then the two of them walked four or five steps away from Wen Tang and Chi Yue.
After pulling the people away, He Lianlian first turned around and gave an apologetic smile to the two new brides, Wen Tang and Chi Yue, and then immediately came to meet Zhong Meixian.
He Lianlian asked, "I heard that his third aunt is no longer living with his third uncle?"
"Why is this so good?"
Zhong Meixian felt a little embarrassed when He Lianlian asked this.
After all, there are few families getting divorced in this era, let alone someone of Gu Jin's age.
Zhong Meixian was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a long time.
She couldn't say it, but Wen Tang could, "My family is so poor that people would hang themselves from the roof. My aunt got married, but he didn't know how to cherish her. He even dared to let someone pour out her foot washing water. She still lives with such a person. Does he think his life is too long?"
Hearing a voice behind her, He Lianlian turned her head and saw that the two new brides who should have been four or five steps away from her were now standing behind her.
