When Xu Weiguo was halfway there on his bicycle, he saw Huang Jianguo running home to his family compound.
He shouted, "Jianguo! I want to go to your house too, or I can give you a ride!"
Huang Jianguo was tired from running around, and just then Xu Weiguo offered him a ride, so he accepted without hesitation.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu, for your trouble."
"You're welcome. Did Jianwen and Jianwu cause you any trouble today?"
"No, they are all very well-behaved and get along well with the other children in the residential compound."
"That's good, that's good."
......
Xu Weiguo saw Xu Jianwen and Xu Jianwu from a distance, peeking furtively through the crack in the door.
Hey! What are you guys doing here?
Xu Jianwen was so frightened by his shout that he fell to the ground.
"Uncle! You scared us to death!"
Xu Weiguo quickly pulled them up and brushed the dust off their bodies.
"Hehe, this was just your uncle playing a joke on you guys, who knew you'd be so timid."
"What are you doing hiding by the door? Why don't you go inside?"
Xu Jianwu honestly said, "It seems like my cousin and her husband had a fight just now, so my brother and I didn't dare to go in."
Huang Jianguo originally wanted to wait for Xu Weiguo to go in together, but now that he heard that Huang Qinqin and the others had just started arguing, he decided not to wait any longer.
"Uncle Xu, I'll go in first. You can come in when you're done."
He then pushed open the door and went inside.
When Huang Jianguo pushed the cart in, he found that no one was arguing, but everyone's expression was not good.
The atmosphere at home was also heavy.
Apart from Wang Yingxue preparing dinner in the kitchen, everyone else stood silently facing each other in the courtyard.
Huang Jianguo saw that Chen Zhaodi and the others looked even worse than before he left.
I knew they must have just had a fight, and it was quite unpleasant.
So he ignored Huang Jianjun and said softly to Huang Qinqin, "Little sister, Junhui's father is here. Do you want to go home with Uncle Xu?"
"Dad's here? Is he outside?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu, Jianwen, and Jianwu are all outside. Do you want to go find them?"
Huang Qinqin nodded: "Okay, I'll go over and say a few words to Dad first."
Xu Weiguo heard the Huang family arguing and was torn about whether or not to go in.
He was afraid that if he went in, Huang Eryuan and the others would feel awkward.
But if he doesn't go in, he'll have to take Huang Qinqin home.
Fortunately, Huang Qinqin came to his rescue when he was most conflicted.
Not wanting to get involved in the Huang family's affairs, Xu Weiguo asked expectantly, "Qinqin, you're out? Shall we go home now?"
Huang Qinqin shook her head: "I won't go back first, Dad, you take Jianwen and Jianwu home first."
"Junhui went to the village to pick up Hongxia. I'll have dinner here tonight. He can come pick me up later when he gets back."
"Okay, then you can eat here slowly. I'll have Junhui come pick you up after he finishes eating."
When Xu Weiguo heard that Huang Qinqin wanted to stay for dinner, he didn't dare to ask why.
After answering, he hurriedly left with the Xu brothers.
After seeing Xu Weiguo walk away, Huang Qinqin turned around and closed the door.
Although the nearest house is a meter away from them, if they open the door to speak, they risk being seen by others.
After the Huang family had eaten the most silent meal in their history, they prepared to get down to business.
Chen Zhaodi pursed her lips, pondering where to begin.
"Second brother, what are you thinking? Are you planning to spend all your time with Shengnan's parents from now on?"
Huang Jianjun shook his head frantically: "I never thought of that!"
Chen Zhaodi didn't look at him, but instead asked Mu Shengnan a question.
"And Shengnan, I want to ask you, did you have this plan from the very beginning?"
"After the wedding, Jianjun will accompany you back to your parents' home. You never even considered living at our house?"
Ever since Chen Zhaodi discovered that it was the weekend but Huang Jianjun and his family didn't have a home, this question had been lingering in her mind.
She always felt that she had been deceived by the Mu family.
"How could that be? I've never thought of it that way. Mom, you have to believe me!"
Mu Shengnan didn't understand why they were making such a big deal out of it just because she forgot to go home.
After overcoming her initial feelings of guilt, Mu Shengnan began to mentally protest her innocence.
She felt that they had already explained it to them; they had simply forgotten, and they had explained it more than once.
There's really no need for the Huang family to make such a big deal out of this and target them like this.
If you forget this time, you can just remember next time, right?
What's the big deal? It's not like they haven't been home for a year.
Chen Zhaodi said in a hoarse voice, "I want to believe you too, but your current actions really make it hard for anyone to trust you."
"I consider myself to have treated you fairly well, haven't I?"
“You said you wanted to move out so that it would be more convenient for Shengnan to go to work, and I agreed.”
“I believed you when you said you would go home to stay on weekends from now on.”
"But you couldn't even last a week!"
You say you just forgot, that you'll forget this week, and you'll forget next week too.
"If you can't remember, then you never need to come back, right?"
"Whether you go home or not is secondary, but this small incident is enough to prove that you don't take your promise to us to heart."
"If we don't hold this against you this time, does that mean we can use forgetting as an excuse for everything in the future?"
"Even if I forget to come back for Chinese New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival, it's just that I've simply forgotten, right?"
"Given your current attitude, you probably won't even come to see us when we get old, right?"
Huang Jianjun felt that Chen Zhaodi's words were too harsh. With red eyes, he said, "Mom, how could you think of me like that?"
"After all these years, don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly treat you like this!"
Mu Shengnan thought the same way, feeling that Chen Zhaodi and the others were overestimating her abilities.
"Yes, Mom, you're exaggerating. We've only just forgotten about it for the first time, why are you bringing up the future?"
“Neither Jianjun nor I are ungrateful people. How could we possibly be unfilial to our parents?”
Chen Zhaodi was easily swayed by emotions, and after hearing what Huang Jianjun and the others said, she didn't know whether to continue.
Although she was still very upset, she felt relieved after hearing what Huang Jianjun and the others said.
She began to reflect on herself, wondering if she was overthinking things.
Could it be that she's being overly sensitive and thinking the worst of people?
Seeing that Chen Zhaodi had softened, Huang Qinqin said directly to them, "Then answer one question for me."
Where are you living now?
"Are we staying at the Mu family's place, or at the house you mentioned before?"
