Chapter 582 Dwarf Tiger Gambling

"You've asked a lot of questions." He Yuxiang felt that Fu Shuyan talked a little too much, but compared to Maomao, Fu Shuyan liked to talk more with people he was familiar with.

Fu Shuyan explained: "I think this question is very offensive to you."

"Then don't ask."

"But I want to ask."

"Then ask."

"Why are your aunt and uncle so nice to you? I feel like they're better than a lot of parents."

Fu Shuyan was really envious.

He knew deep down that his father was very indulgent and doting on him, but this was because he spent too little time with his father, so his father wanted to compensate him.

But He Yuxiang's aunt and uncle are with them every day.

They can even argue with a clear conscience.

Especially my aunt and He Yuxiang, they quarrel every day, and my aunt doesn’t get angry even when she is scolded.

He Yuxiang lowered his eyes: "Because they... are good people."

"That's right. I've lived in your house for so long and I feel very comfortable." Fu Shuyan felt that it was more comfortable than living at home.

He Yuxiang: "So I don't want to go to your house."

Fu Shuyan was heartbroken.

He wished the days would go by more slowly, but in the blink of an eye it was time for him to go home.

Fu Anhua came to pick up the children and gave all four of them big red envelopes. He said to He Yuan, "Thank you two for taking care of my children."

"It's okay, I didn't care." He Yuan was mainly responsible for making more meals. Other than that, He Yuxiang was responsible for Fu Shuyan.

Fu Anhua said, "I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry. When you come to the capital someday, I will definitely give you a warm welcome. And if you and your wife need any help, just let me know. We are all family."

He Yuan was puzzled.

Who is his family?

Fu Anhua smiled and patted his shoulder: "I'm going home with the children first. We'll get together again when there's a chance."

Fu Shuyan said goodbye to He Yuxiang with red eyes because Xiaoyu had gone to the countryside. "He Yuxiang, you and Xiaoyu remember to miss me and write to me more often."

"Try your best."

He Yuxiang guessed that he couldn't write.

Fu Shuyan felt uncomfortable: "I will miss you."

"Go home quickly." He Yuxiang urged. He really couldn't stand this sticky farewell scene anymore.

Fu Shuyan burst into tears.

Fu Anhua took his son away.

He Yuxiang stood behind them and said, "Have a safe journey."

Fu Shuyan smiled happily, turned around and waved to him: "He Yuxiang, I will really miss you."

He Yuxiang: “…”

I hate people who say sweet words!

He Yuxiang looked at him crying and laughing, and secretly decided to write him a few letters later so that he wouldn't be so pitiful alone in the capital.

Fu Anhua, who left with his son, was surprised by his relationship with He Yuxiang: "Aren't you and Xiaoyu on a better footing?"

"But I sleep with He Yuxiang every day. He takes good care of me, teaches me how to use the typewriter, and teaches me basic cooking techniques. We also play with my younger siblings together. We're very similar. He doesn't like going out, and neither do I, so we always stay together. He's just like the big brother I imagined he'd be—remarkable and reliable."

Fu Shuyan really likes staying in the courtyard. He feels happy and excited when playing with Xiaoyu, and feels safe and comfortable when playing with He Yuxiang.

Living in the courtyard, I occasionally play with my younger brothers and sisters, do some farm work, and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables. When I have free time, I learn new things. My day is very fulfilling.

Fu Anhua: "You often say you're uncomfortable at home, so how come you feel so comfortable at other people's homes?"

Fu Shuyan frowned: "There are many relatives around our family. Although there are uncles and aunts around the courtyard, they are all afraid of my aunt and will not talk to us casually. Besides, I can speak loudly in front of my aunt and uncle."

"Can't you speak loudly at home?"

"It's different!" Fu Shuyan retorted, glancing at his father before whispering, "When I talk to my aunt and uncle, even if I stutter or feel embarrassed, they will listen patiently and won't laugh at me or interrupt me."

He was also sure that his aunt and uncle would never say bad things about him outside.

Fu Anhua's heart sank as he listened: "You talked to your relatives and they laughed at you?"

"Um……"

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

"You're busy, and I still need them to take care of me."

Fu Shuyan pursed his lips.

Fu Anhua didn't say anything else, his face was gloomy.

After the Lantern Festival, the children go back to school.

In the morning, He Yuxiang packed the food made by his uncle into lunch boxes and put them into his and his sister's schoolbags, then went to school with her.

Xiaoyu walked forward happily with her schoolbag on her back.

The dwarf tiger also followed, "Hurry up, let's go."

"what?"

"My stepsister is behind us and I don't want to talk to her." Dwarf Tiger pulled the brother and sister forward.

He Yuxiang was really convinced: "Stop!"

The short-legged tiger was forced to stop, but his pace was still fast: "She is really annoying."

After his stepmother took away her red envelope, he secretly took his stepsister's red envelope to buy food, and was then severely beaten by his father.

Seeing that neither of them came to comfort him, the short-legged tiger asked again, "How much red envelope money did you get this New Year?"

He Yuxiang: "Five dollars and sixty cents."

The dwarf tiger was shocked: "So many!"

Xiaoyu stole a glance at her brother.

My brother lied.

Because she and her brother each received at least fifty-six yuan in personal red envelopes.

The dwarf tiger said sourly, "The total amount of red envelopes my father's relatives gave me was only three dollars and two cents, and I handed it all in. Have you handed in your money?"

"No."

"Can you lend me some money?" The dwarf looked at He Yuxiang eagerly.

He Yuxiang: "Get lost."

The dwarf tiger frowned and looked at Xiaoyu in a flattering manner.

Xiaoyu asked, "What are you going to do?"

The dwarf tiger said guiltily: "I...I'm going to play."

He Yuxiang: "Next time you go gambling, I will follow you and report you. I have my aunt and uncle to protect me, so they won't bother me. They will only bother you because you led me there."

"How could you do this!" The dwarf stomped his feet in anger.

He Yuxiang: "I can also team up with them and let them cheat you out of your money, leaving you in debt. I'll make you work for me from now on, and you won't be able to marry or eat well."

“He Yuxiang!!!” The dwarf tiger’s pupils were trembling: “Why are you so scary!”

"If you go gambling and get beaten to death, I'll still cheer."

"I'm not a big gambler, I just want to make some money to eat meat!"

"Then go ahead."

He Yuxiang's eyes were indifferent.

The dwarf tiger was a little afraid of He Yuxiang and looked at Xiaoyu anxiously.

Xiaoyu kicked him away: "How dare you gamble! What if you get tricked into doing something bad? I'll beat you to death!"

She rolled up her sleeves and pounded him.

The dwarf tiger howled in pain, and while she was catching her breath, he quickly got up and tried to escape, but He Yuxiang grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck again.

He Yuxiang threw it to Xiaoyu: "Beat him!"

It was school time and the streets were full of students. The classmates looked at them sideways, curious about what had happened to these three people and why they were fighting.

The short-legged tiger begged for mercy: "I won't go. Please don't beat me. There are so many people here. It's so embarrassing."
