Chapter 16 My son, if you become rich and powerful, don’t forget me

Damn, how can you be so obedient! So delicate!

Being stared at with such admiring eyes by such a handsome little boy was hard for even a god to bear. The softest part of Xu Yao's heart suddenly collapsed. She leaned over and kissed Xu Jiaan on his tender cheek.

"Just a little longer."

Xu Jiaan raised his little face, his wet black eyes like spring water, staring at Xu Yao from bottom to top, and said seriously, "Kiss me again."

Xu Yao said that it was not a big deal. She moved closer and kissed him twice more. Seeing the smug smile on Xu Jiaan's face, she suddenly came to her senses.

That's not right. At the beginning, she clearly wanted Xu Jiaan to praise her, but Xu Jiaan directly changed the reward for winning to a kiss. A kiss would have been fine, but the next two games were clearly a draw, and she didn't lose, so how could she be considered a "punishment"?

It was outrageous that the door was opened so ridiculously that she was actually tricked into getting in by a five-year-old kid.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xu Jiaan blinked his big eyes and looked at Xu Yao with an innocent face.

Maybe I thought he was too evil. How could a kid be so cunning? Xu Yao shook her head and said, "It's nothing. This game is not fun. I'll teach you pinyin."

At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Xu Yao lit the kerosene lamp and the teaching position was moved from the backyard to the bedroom.

Xu Yao was about to write pinyin, but when she picked up the pen, she realized that she had forgotten her inheritance, and her mind was full of English, Russian, and Portuguese...

Sorry, ancestors! Sorry country!

"The finals are a, o, e, i, u..."

Xu Yao couldn't remember what came after that. Xu Jiaan glanced at her and continued, "u, ai, ei, ao..."

Fortunately, Xu Yao was thick-skinned, otherwise she would be ashamed. She raised her red lips and said, "You didn't go to school, how did you learn this?"

"I've picked up their exercise books and heard them sing."

This “they” is probably the children who go to school in the village.

I just listened to others talking and learned pinyin by looking at scraps of paper.

Xu Yao was already numbed by the villain son's IQ show. She patted Xu Jiaan's little hand, slowly climbed onto the bed, lay down peacefully, and sighed.

"Son, with your abilities come great responsibilities! Don't forget me when you become rich. I will rely on you in the future."

The dim light from the kerosene lamp broke through a ray of light in Xu Jiaan's dark eyes, and the little boy raised the corners of his lips in a sweet arc.

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

It doesn't matter if they rely on each other until death, as long as "Xu Yao" doesn't leave him.

If she dared to leave halfway...

The little boy lowered his long eyelashes to hide the dim light in his eyes.

There are only two buses from the town to the county seat at fixed times a day. Xu Xiangbei and his wife walked to the town bus station and waited for a long time. An old lady who was dressed very respectably told them that the bus had already left and asked them to go early tomorrow.

"If the police come to search our house tomorrow, we won't have any time to react. Boss, you better think of a solution quickly!" Sun Yanfang was so anxious that bubbles formed at the corners of her mouth.

What can Xu Xiangbei do? He felt no less helpless than Sun Yanfang.

He was just an ordinary farmer in the countryside and had never even been to the county town in his life.

An old lady passing by heard their conversation, turned back, looked at them, shook her head and said.

"Search your home? My son is a police officer. Searching your home is not allowed these days."

Xu Xiangbei and his wife looked at each other. It was obvious that the old lady was not an ordinary person. She hurriedly told them about Xu Weidong's situation. Of course, the Xu Weidong they were talking about had nothing to do with them. The old lady had lived for a long time and had seen all kinds of people. She despised this ungrateful person who coveted his relatives' wealth and deliberately exaggerated it.

The couple's faces grew paler and paler as they talked. They returned home in a daze and spent the whole night with their eyes open. The next day, at daybreak, they started quarreling with bloodshot eyes.

"Divide the family! This family must be divided!"

"Take your things and leave!"

Upon hearing the news, Xu Yao hurriedly took Xu Jiaan back to the old house.

The second wife took a tough stance, and Xu Yao made a look at Liu Mei. Liu Mei blinked and tears started to fall. She didn't say a word, but the other members couldn't stand it anymore and accused Xu Xiangbei and his wife of being dishonest.

Before Xu Weidong got into trouble, everyone saw how much benefits the Second House had taken from Xu Weidong and how attentive they were to Xu Weidong. But they actually wanted to drive away the orphans and widows of the Second House. The Second House is now unpopular.

"Don't blame me for being cruel. My eldest brother has gone astray himself, why should he drag us down with him? The second brother and I don't care. Our Lanxiang is going to college."

"When assigning a job to a university, family circumstances will be examined. Lanxiang is the golden phoenix of our brigade, and we cannot let her uncle ruin her."

Sun Yanfang certainly knew that their actions were criticized, but as long as Xu Lanxiang was admitted to university, those who scolded them for being immoral today would only have to curry favor with them in the future.

Sure enough, after she said that, everyone who wanted to help the first wife gave up the idea.

Compared with the second wife who has a bright future, the first wife is nothing.

People are animals that seek benefits and avoid harm. Xu Yao had expected this scene a long time ago, and said casually, "I heard that if the family is divided, they will not recognize each other, and they must sever their relationship in the household registration book."

As everyone looked at her in surprise, Xu Yao held Sun Yanfang's hand and said with a sad face.

"Second Aunt, you must believe that my father is innocent. He will definitely be released, and he will be twice as nice to you when he gets out!"

Sun Yanfang and her husband were a little hesitant. After all, Xu Weidong was the one who placed the order, and they didn't want to give up until it was absolutely necessary.

At this moment, someone from the brigade headquarters came running over breathlessly to deliver a message.

"Xu Yao, the county police station called about your father. Go answer the phone."

The police station called here, and Sun Yanfang and Xu Xiangbei's eyes gradually became firm. This family must be divided!

Old man Xu's dark face was filled with sorrow. He took a puff of his pipe and sighed.

"Let's divide it, eldest brother's wife. Pack up your and Gangzi's things, and go to the town with the second brother to move your household registration out."

Originally, Xu Weidong was one of the few workers in the brigade, which made him very proud. He liked this son, but who could blame him for having a son and a daughter who were not as promising as the second son?

Xu Yao went to the brigade headquarters to answer a phone call.

It was not a big deal. Liang Zhicheng had solid evidence and was sentenced for multiple crimes. He would definitely not be able to escape. He wanted to drag Xu Weidong into the water, but Xu Weidong insisted that he was innocent and called Xu Yao to come over to get more details of the situation. Xu Yao readily agreed and said that Xu Weidong had indeed not committed any crime and would probably be released in a few days.

After the chat, Xu Yao met the second brother and his wife on the way back. Both parties were interested, so they quickly took the introduction letter issued by the brigade and went to the town to transfer their household registration.

The sun was glaring overhead. Liu Mei was carrying a small package on her back, her eyes were dazed, and she murmured carefully to Xu Yao, "Your shabby house is too small. It won't be big enough for Gangzi to come back. There is a cowshed in the village. I'll live there..."

"Who said we have to live in a shabby house?" Xu Yao curved her lips, the curve of her lips was seductive, and she took Liu Mei's arm, "Didn't Dad rent a house in the county town?"
