Are these parents?

They must be enemies, right?

Xu Xinning was so angry she didn't know what words to use to curse.

Mu Jingheng noticed that Xu Xinning was trembling, so he took her hand and led her outside. He only let go of her hand after they were out of the alley so that no one would see them.

What they didn't know was that there was another person standing outside that dark, dilapidated house.

Mu Jingheng: "Are you still going to watch the movie?"

Xu Xinning shook her head. She had an impulse to go to Xu Mingyang and tell him about that woman's shameful deeds, so that he could lead people to catch them in the act, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she gave up the impulse.

If someone were to witness that woman's disgraceful act at this moment, Xu Mingyang's reputation would definitely be affected. Not only that, but with so many people from the brigade watching a movie at this time, the brigade's reputation would also be ruined. In that case, the brigade could forget about being recognized as outstanding. Xu Xinning didn't want all the hard work of the members to be ruined by a single bad apple.

We must find a way to satisfy both sides.

Seeing Xu Xinning deep in thought with her head down, Mu Jingheng asked softly, "Do you know who those two people are?"

Although Mu Jingheng had been in Xujia Village for more than a week, the woman's presence was so faint that Mu Jingheng had no idea that such a person existed.

Xu Xinning glanced at Mu Jingheng but didn't say anything.

Mu Jingheng is a smart man. Judging from Xu Xinning's reaction, one of the two people should be a relative of the Xu family.

Xu Xinning wandered aimlessly along the road until she reached a bridge. She sat on a bridge pier, looking out at the noisy threshing ground, her thoughts already drifting far away.

Xu Xinning carefully considered Xu Mingyang's actions. She was certain that Xu Mingyang knew everything. Perhaps his silence stemmed from despair about life, which was why he seemed indifferent.

Xu Mingyang

Uncle,

"Comrade-in-arms"

How can I help you?

Xu Xinning cried out in her heart.

Xu Xinning suddenly remembered that there were medical instruments from the future brought by her mother in the space. She had once unintentionally taught her how to do a paternity test. If she wanted to know whether Xu Mingyang was the son of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, she could just do a paternity test for him.

She still couldn't believe that her biological parents would treat their child like that.

It's not surprising that he's biased, but it's really baffling that he would still disgust him knowing that the woman has a problem. Besides, Xu Mingyang has never done anything outrageous to his family, and he even sent his allowance home when he went to the army.

Mu Jingheng watched as Xu Xinning remained deep in thought, and the sadness emanating from her made him very uncomfortable.

Mu Jingheng was certain that tonight's events had greatly affected Xu Xinning.

Who exactly are those two people?

Mu Jingheng felt a nagging unease, as if he wouldn't be able to sleep until he figured things out.

Mu Jingheng suddenly remembered the night he arrived. He had a feeling that Xu Xinning would definitely do something again tonight. As long as he kept a close eye on her, he would probably know the answer.

My cousin, who was watching a movie in the threshing ground, waited and waited, but Xu Xinning and the others didn't come back. She started to imagine a movie playing in her mind too.

The handsome prince fell in love with the princess, so he eloped with her.

No, princes and princesses don't need to elope. Elopement is the story of a young lady and a poor scholar. You've got the wrong script.

Cousin #1 accidentally saw his younger sister sitting in the seat that should have been hers, looking down and grinning foolishly. Where was his younger sister?

Oh right, my sister seems to have told him about my cousin and that shameless guy leaving. Didn't they go to the outhouse?

Have we been gone a little too long?

Cousin #1 sensed the problem was getting serious and nudged Cousin #2, saying, "My cousin is missing."

Cousin #2 was still engrossed in the movie when Cousin #1 poked him, nearly scaring him out of his wits. His voice suddenly rose as he exclaimed, "Cousin's been kidnapped?"

When Cousin #2 shouted like that, the people around looked over curiously.

Cousin #1 immediately covered Cousin #2's mouth and smiled sheepishly at the person.

After waiting for a while, Cousin #1 finally removed his hand from Cousin #2's mouth and even wiped it on Cousin #2's clothes in disgust.

Cousin #2 wasn't angry; he was still worried about his beloved cousin: "Brother, what happened to cousin?"

Cousin #1: "My cousin went out with that shameless guy a long time ago and hasn't come back yet."

Cousin #2: "Bro, that shameless guy isn't really after our cousin, is he?"

Cousin #1: "Anyone with eyes can see that."

Cousin #2: "Bro, it seems like no one else noticed except the two of us."

Cousin #1: "That's because they didn't think about it that way."

Cousin #2 asked anxiously, "Brother, what should we do?"

Cousin #1: "Let's wait and see. I'll write a letter to Zexi tonight, and starting tomorrow, we'll visit Auntie's house more often when we have free time."

Cousin #2: "But what if they went out alone and haven't come back yet?"

Cousin #1: "Let's go look around the neighborhood."

Cousins ​​#1 and #2 hurriedly left their spots, and when Cousin looked up, she was nowhere to be seen.

The younger cousin panicked. Her older cousin had suddenly disappeared, and now her brothers had also vanished. Could there be a monster here?

Sister, sister, she's going to find her sister.

My cousin was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes.

When Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng returned, they saw their cousin in a panic.

What's going on?

My cousin suddenly burst into tears when she saw Xu Xinning.

Xu Xinning went up and hugged her little cousin, wiping away the tears that had fallen from her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
