That day, Su Miaomiao came home after it was completely dark. She thought she was the last one home, but she didn't expect that some people hadn't arrived yet.

"Miaomiao, I left dinner for you in the kitchen. Go get it and eat it. I'll also leave some for your third brother."

"My third brother hasn't come yet?" Su Miaomiao was a little surprised.

She had walked a bit far today, and she missed the bus when she got back, which delayed her.

Her third brother should have finished get off work long ago, so why hasn't he come home yet?

"He's probably working overtime." Tang Chunlan sighed, "He's been staying up later and later lately."

When Su Miaomiao heard this, her eyes flashed.

After Su Miaomiao finished her meal, Huo Xinyuan finally arrived.

But he looked very tired, his hair was a little messy, and he looked as if he was hollowed out.

As soon as I arrived, I sat down on the stone bench in the yard.

At first, no one noticed that he had come home. It was when Su Miaomiao came out of the bathroom and saw someone sitting in the yard that she realized it was Huo Xinyuan.

"Third brother? Why are you sitting here?" Su Miaomiao walked forward in confusion.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. Let me sit down and rest for a while." Huo Xinyuan tried hard to force a smile.

Su Miaomiao looked him up and down, and she felt that Huo Xinyuan was now exuding a strong aura of death.

He had never been so depressed before in Shimatou Village.

"Third brother, is your work not going well?" Su Miaomiao sat next to Huo Xinyuan.

"Not bad." Huo Xinyuan avoided Su Miaomiao's sight.

"Third brother, are you still going to lie to me?" Huo Xinyuan's acting skills were not very good, and Su Miaomiao saw through him almost at a glance.

"I..." Huo Xinyuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Tell me honestly, did someone try to trip you up?" Su Miaomiao's expression darkened.

When Huo Xinyuan saw her like this, he knew that he could not hide it from her. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally found a breakthrough at this moment, and he tugged at his collar.

"You don't know, the unit I work for is a grassroots unit, with a lot of trivial matters every day, but my leader always finds trouble for me, and even those trivial people gang up on me."

"Just today, for example, the boss said there was a problem with the data in a register. I clearly wasn't involved in that, but my colleagues all said I did the final calculation. I just handed over some information. But that idiotic boss made me do it again, and I had to give it to him today."

"Do you think he's mentally ill? The records start from three days ago. How long have I been in there? I can't even understand a lot of the data."

"If I hadn't been smart, I would have stayed up all night tonight." Huo Xinyuan became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his face even turning red.

Looking at Huo Xinyuan like this, Su Miaomiao lowered her eyes slightly.

She and her third brother had been in Shimatou Village for so long, and she knew very well that her third brother was not the kind of person who could not endure hardship.

During the rush season for harvesting medicinal herbs, we had to get up at five in the morning and still be in the medicinal fields at eight or nine in the evening.

At that time, he never complained about the hardship or tiredness. He even smiled every day and found different ways to make his family happy.

But I've only been working for a few days and I've been treated like this.

"Little sister, I'm just saying this to you casually. Don't take it to heart." Huo Xinyuan saw that Su Miaomiao hadn't said anything, and felt a little annoyed that he couldn't help himself.

How could he, as a brother, complain about the hard work in front of his sister?

"Third brother, do you want to resign?" Su Miaomiao suddenly looked up and stared at Huo Xinyuan without blinking.
