Chapter 178 Nobody's Home



"Just eat your porridge! How can you be so carefree all the time?"

Huang Eryuan pursed his lips, thinking that he should have kept quiet, because now he had been scolded for no reason.

Huang Jianjun was starving when he ran back, and he finished the porridge in no time. Then he remembered what Huang Jianguo had said last night.

He simply said, "Mom, I'm taking some porridge to the hospital for my older brother. You can go tell my younger sister that my older brother is in the hospital."

Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi immediately objected to the suggestion, saying in unison, "Of course we can't tell Qinqin!"

Huang Jianjun asked, puzzled, "Why can't we tell my younger sister?"

"If we tell Qinqin, what can she do besides worry? It's better not to tell her to avoid affecting her mood."

That's true, but Huang Jianjun thought of what his older brother had said: if he didn't tell his younger sister, and something happened to his older brother, how could he ask her about it?

Huang Jianjun wanted to tell them the reason, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered that his parents did not know that his older brother had already discovered the problem with the car before they set off.

So he had no choice but to remain silent, planning to return to the hospital and discuss it with his older brother before making any further plans.

......

Huang Qinqin hadn't been back to her parents' home recently. After dinner, she discussed with Xu Junhui, "Junhui, I haven't been back to see my parents in a long time."

"I'd like to go back now and have dinner at my parents' house tonight. Do you want to come with me?"

Xu Junhui had already lay down to take a nap, but upon hearing Huang Qinqin's words, he immediately sat up and asked, "Now? Aren't you going to take a nap first?"

"I'm not sleepy today. How about I go over first, and you can come back to me after you wake up?"

"No need, I'll go with you. Wait for me a moment, I'll go get some things to take to Dad and the others later."

Zhang Yumei and Xu Fang didn't take a nap in the courtyard today; they were making tiger-head shoes when they saw Xu Junhui come out.

Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Didn't you go back to sleep? Why are you out again?"

"Qinqin said she wanted to go back to her parents' home to see them, so I came out to see what I could bring with me."

Zhang Yumei put down what she was holding, then stood up to help him: "That's fine, it's good to take advantage of the fact that my in-laws are also resting, let's go back and check on them."

"Qinqin hasn't been back for about a month. Let's take this fish back with us; we still have one left. Also, let's take some pickled bamboo shoots with us so our in-laws can have a taste."

Zhang Yumei packed a little of this and a little of that, and soon she had filled two large bags with things.

Seeing that she was still enthusiastically stuffing things into the bag, Xu Junhui quickly stopped her, saying, "That's enough, that's enough, Mom, stop stuffing. You can give the rest to Mom and Dad next time."

It wasn't that Xu Junhui was unwilling to give things to Huang Qinqin's parents, but rather that they couldn't carry that much. Besides, every time they took too much back, Chen Zhaodi would definitely make them bring back a lot more.

Zhang Yumei glanced at the things she had already packed and thought that was enough, so she stopped.

As they were leaving, I repeatedly reminded them, "Ride slowly, and please be careful, okay?"

"Okay~"

Steel Plant Staff Quarters

Xu Junhui and Huang Qinqin looked at the locked gate of the Huang family's house, and stared at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Junhui looked at the silent Huang Qinqin and suggested, "Why don't we go home first and come back tomorrow? Mom and Dad are probably out on business."

Huang Qinqin's silence wasn't because she was unhappy that they weren't home, but because she found it a bit strange. Generally speaking, the Huang family rarely went out together except for work.

They probably didn't go back to their hometown, since they just went back for Kang Kang's one-month celebration not long ago, and they won't be going back until next month at the earliest. So why is no one home today?

Huang Qinqin was afraid something had happened at home, but she didn't tell her so as not to worry her. However, this was just her guess, and she might be overthinking it.

Huang Qinqin said apologetically, "Well, let's go home first. Thank you for your trouble; it was a wasted trip today."

Xu Junhui gently pinched her cheek and said calmly, "It's not tiring, just consider it exercise. Let's go home!"

Huang Qinqin sat on the back of the bicycle, and couldn't help but wonder, where exactly are the Huang family members?

Where are they? The entire Huang family is still in the hospital, all of them together.

Originally, after delivering breakfast, Chen Zhaodi planned to go back to the steel factory with Huang Eryuan and ride their bicycles home.

However, just as he was about to leave, he encountered leaders from the steel plant who came to visit him. So he stayed.

Huang Jianguo was injured on his way back from delivering goods to the factory, and the factory said it was a work-related injury. The factory will cover all his hospitalization expenses during his injury period.

Moreover, his salary would continue to be paid during his recovery period. When the leaders came, they even brought him two cans of malted milk powder.

After the leaders had all gone home, Chen Zhaodi was about to go back when the police came to her door again.

When Huang Jianguo saw the police approaching, a huge "danger" appeared above his head!

They wanted to distract Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan before the police officers could speak.

He said in a panic, "Mom and Dad, hurry back to the factory to get your bicycles, or we won't have time to make lunch!"

Chen Zhaodi ignored him. She used to tremble when she saw the police, but she wasn't afraid anymore after Huang Qinqin married Xu Junhui.

She knew that both her in-laws worked for the Public Security Bureau, and even the police couldn't just arrest people arbitrarily. As long as she hadn't broken the law, she had nothing to fear.

She planned to stay there for a while and try to find out how Huang Jianguo had gotten into trouble yesterday. She had asked him for a long time this morning, but he refused to say anything.

Seeing that Chen Zhaodi looked determined to stay, Huang Jianguo quickly gave Huang Jianjun a look, signaling him to help think of a solution.

Huang Jianjun scratched his head, completely at a loss for how to lure his parents away. But he soon didn't need to think of a solution anymore, because the police had already begun questioning him...

"Hello, we're from the Public Security Bureau. We're here to take your statement. Yesterday, the steel mill reported that someone deliberately tried to stab you. Could you please provide more details about the incident?"

It's over...

Huang Jianguo kept his head down, not daring to look at Chen Zhaodi's expression. Even without looking, he could already feel her low spirits.

He replied in a low voice, "Yes, that's how it happened yesterday..."

After Huang Jianguo recounted the whole story, the police officer confirmed again, "So you mean you don't know that person, and yesterday was the first time you met her, right?"
