Chapter 253 Huo Junlin's Emotional Breakdown (Page 1/2)

After dinner, Huo Li did not rest, but called Huo Junlin back to the room and gave him careful instructions again.

"Junlin, Dad heard Wenjing say that he wants to learn how to drive. This is a good idea, but he also needs someone to watch over him to ensure his safety.

As Wen Jing's father, you must take responsibility. I will help him find a reliable master, but you must also keep an eye on his situation.

I really don’t want something like what happened last time to happen again.”

Huo Junlin nodded seriously and responded, "Dad, don't worry, I understand. I will keep a close eye on him from now on and won't let him mess around again."

Huo Li sighed and continued, "Alas, Wen Jing has been spoiled by you and your wife. He doesn't use his brain when doing things and is easily deceived by others.

Your wife has always had some issues with me because of the house. But it doesn't matter, I've made up my mind.

Let’s go back to the courtyard to celebrate the New Year together this year. I plan to take out all the savings I have accumulated over the years and divide it equally among you four brothers and sisters.

Just think of it as money for your home purchase. I hope you can use it to buy the house of your dreams."

Huo Junlin was very confused when he heard his father suddenly ask for money to buy a house.

He couldn't help but start to wonder, could there be something wrong with his father's health?

Otherwise, why would such a decision be made suddenly?

Could it be that my father felt that his health was not good, so he distributed his savings to everyone in advance?

Thinking of this, Huo Junlin's mood became heavy.

"Dad, are you feeling unwell? Tell me quickly, don't scare me! Mom passed away early and didn't get to enjoy the blessing.

If you feel any discomfort, be sure to see a doctor immediately.

Or you can move in with us. Wen Yao is not at home, and there is an empty bed at home. That way we can take care of you."

Huo Junlin asked anxiously, his eyes full of worry.

Huo Li said angrily, "Look at me, I don't look unwell at all! The reason I'm giving the money to everyone is entirely for your own good!"

Your wife and the fifth son's wife gossip about me all day long, saying that I, as their father-in-law, am biased.

Qingci is my eldest grandson. Your mother and I raised him with great difficulty when he was a child, so it is natural that we have a special relationship.

Your third brother adopted him under the name of your eldest brother, so he is the legitimate eldest son and grandson of our Huo family. If we don’t leave this house to them, do we have to leave it to you guys to divide equally?

I usually don't skimp on food and clothes, and I have finally saved up this much money, all for you four brothers and sisters.

I originally wanted to give each of you 3,500 yuan, so that when you have the chance in the future, you can use this money to buy a small yard each."

Hearing this, Huo Junlin was filled with guilt.

Only then did he understand that his father had always lived frugally and accumulated all his savings, all for the sake of them, his children.

Back then, his father personally arranged and helped arrange jobs for him and his wife.

But now, the father has worked hard all his life, and he generously gives away the money he has accumulated to his children, and even runs around for his son's affairs...

Instead of letting my father enjoy life, they made him worry all his life. They really deserve to die!

There was a bang, and Huo Junlin suddenly knelt down, "Dad..."

"You're already in your forties, what are you doing? I'm not even dead, why are you kneeling down and crying? Why don't you get up?"

Huo Junlin said nothing. He kowtowed three times and quickly got up from the ground. "Dad, why don't you move in with us?"

"I live here, where should I move to? Should I move to your house and have to face your wife's mood, or should I move to Lao Wu's house and have to face Lao Wu's wife's mood?

I live in the house arranged for me there, free and unrestrained, without having to worry about anyone's feelings.

Qingci and Xiaoman are not only filial but also obedient, and they are especially good to me.

Have you seen these clothes on the bed? They were all bought for me. Now, do you understand why I favor Qingci?"

Huo Junlin felt ashamed of what he said. It was his children who should have bought his father's winter clothes, but they, the children, ended up being worse than the younger generation.

Over the years, except for the holidays, they bought some canned snacks and fruits for their father, but never bought him any clothes.

To be honest, my father's coats were all issued by the army, but his inner clothes were always bought by my eldest nephew.

My sister knitted a long-sleeved sweater and a woolen vest for my father. He wore them for at least eight years, and they had become stiff.

Huo Junlin secretly planned in his heart that after receiving his salary, he would buy some wool and ask his wife to knit a thick and warm sweater for his father.

"Dad, I don't blame you for favoring Qingci. Qingci is indeed an excellent child, and it is natural for you to love him. I plan to do it after I get my salary this month..."

Huo Li understood what his son was going to say next. He waved his hand and interrupted, "Alright, alright, it's getting late. You should go home early.

As for Wen Jing's matter, I will naturally handle and arrange it properly. Tell your wife to stay in her proper place and not make a fuss. "

Huo Junlin nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll remind her."

Huo Junlin walked out of the room with red eyes. When Yang Huiling saw this, she thought that her father-in-law had severely punished her husband, so her face instantly became gloomy and ugly.

After leaving the yard, Yang Huiling still had a long face and said unhappily, "Jun Lin, you'll be 46 years old after the New Year. Why is your father still scolding you like a child?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Where did I say anything nonsense? Didn't your father scold you and make you cry?" Yang Huiling asked relentlessly.

When Huo Junlin thought of his old father who had worked hard for his children all his life, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart and his emotions instantly got out of control. He stared at Yang Huiling with red eyes and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

"Yang Huiling, don't talk nonsense! How could my dad scold me like that?

You don't even know the truth, and you're just talking nonsense! If you hadn't been so full of yourself, would you have gotten into so much trouble? You're always slandering my dad behind his back, saying he's biased!

Hasn't my dad been good to us all these years? Didn't he take great pains to help arrange jobs for you and me?

He's already quite old, yet he still has to lower his dignity and ask for help from others for Wen Jing's favor. Are you still not satisfied? What do you want?

You always complain that my dad favors his eldest nephew and gave the house to him.

But think about it, except for the few years when my eldest nephew went to the island, wasn't he the one who took care of my dad with all his heart?

Over the years, what have you, as my father's daughter-in-law, done for him?

My father has been silently giving to us children, but what have we, his children, ever done for him?

Yang Huiling, I'm warning you! From now on, don't nag me non-stop unless it's necessary. Don't tell me that my dad is partial. Be a man of conscience!"
