Haitang rested her chin on her hand and watched for a while. She felt that the uncle was in good health, worthy of being an old virgin...

"I'll go down and see if you've had enough sleep?"

"I slept well and had a good sleep. I slept so well with my uncle holding me~"

Cheng Yuanshan did not respond to her. When he turned around, his face was still unnaturally flushed.

"Uncle, can you hold me in your arms every day when I sleep?"

Cheng Yuanshan: "......"

He put on his clothes a little faster and soon opened the door and went downstairs.

Haitang smiled with the corners of her lips curled up.

So fun!!

She has to get up too, her mother is here~

...

When Cheng Yuanshan opened the door and saw Xia Jianguo and Hu Lanchun, he was a little surprised, but not much...

Seeing someone finally open the door, Hu Lanchun looked inside the house, then turned around and said anxiously, "Yuanshan, you're finally here. We've been here for three days and we haven't seen anyone."

"Um."

Cheng Yuanshan nodded politely to the two of them and invited them to sit in the living room. His expression was not very good. Although the two families had always been on good terms, after Haitang's visit, his impression of the couple had diminished a lot.

And the two of them came here in such a hurry, they must have known Haitang's situation. Are they going to pick her up?

I am reluctant, but I have no reason to refuse. Besides, the engagement is already in place...how can I negotiate it?

Cheng Yuanshan was thinking about what to say.

Hu Lanchun spoke first, "Yuanshan, why didn't you tell us that you brought Haitang here? She's a little girl and she's living with you. We, as her mother, only heard about it from others. Where is she?"

Xia Jianguo also nodded. "I heard that she and Gong Ci's kid are living with you recently? Although they are engaged, they are not married yet. Haitang is still young, so this is really inappropriate."

Cheng Yuanshan caught the point in their conversation and asked, "How did you know that?"

"It's all over the place. They are dating. We are not stopping them, but there must be some rules, don't you think?"

Cheng Yuanshan's expression didn't change much, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. "There's nothing wrong with Haitang and Gong Ci, don't get me wrong."

Xia Jianguo was a little unhappy after hearing this, "Yuanshan, I don't like what you said. A girl's reputation is very important. What do you mean by don't misunderstand me?"

Cheng Yuanshan made two cups of tea for them, and sat down on the sofa beside him, his tone was quite calm, "I went to Hulan Town on a business trip, and I happened to meet Haitang. The little girl lived a hard life in Xiajia Village. She was skinny and small, but she had to support a family. She didn't have enough food to eat and a bad place to live. She had no books to read and had to herd cattle every day..."

With every word he uttered, Xia Jianguo and his wife's faces became uglier.

"What are you talking about? How is that possible? We send money every month, and she writes to us saying she's doing well."

Cheng Yuanshan originally called them brother and sister-in-law, but now that he and Haitang are on good terms, he doesn't want to call them that anymore. "Jianguo, didn't you guys go and take a look at these dozen or so girls?"

"We...we have our own reasons."

"Really? I felt sorry for her, so I brought her here."

Hu Lanchun's eyes were already filled with tears, and she didn't care about what she said before, "Yuanshan, where is Haitang? These are our faults, we really don't know..."

When Cheng Yuanshan lowered his eyes, there was impatience and mockery in them, but he always managed his expression well.

At this moment footsteps were heard on the stairs.

All three of them turned their eyes away.

Haitang has a plain face, her hair is tied into a thick pigtail, she wears a simple cotton-padded jacket and a simple pair of liberation pants.

Looks cute and simple.

From the moment Hu Lanchun saw her, she couldn't control her tears. She stood up straight, stared at her, tears dripping down her cheeks, unable to utter a word...

Xia Jianguo was no less embarrassed, his eyes were red.
