Wu Youliang was surprised and somewhat puzzled.
"Jingli, isn't that your fellow villager?" Wu Youliang asked. His wife had introduced her that way when they ran into this woman at their doorstep last time.
He Tiantian and Cui Ying exchanged a surprised glance.
Huang Jingli hasn't told Wu Youliang the truth yet?
Huang Jingli said with a wry smile, "I haven't told Youliang yet!"
"What are you saying?" Wu Youliang asked. "Did that woman bully you?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home," Huang Jingli said. "After I tell you, I can finally relax."
Seeing his wife's expression, Wu Youliang felt uneasy, wondering what she was talking about, and his mind kept wandering to unpleasant thoughts.
When they arrived home, He Tiantian, Cui Ying, and Hua Shan went to the kitchen to cook, leaving the couple to talk inside.
Huang Jingli told Wu Youliang the whole story.
Wu Youliang stared in disbelief, then said angrily, "This whole thing is completely fabricated. You should have told me the first time that woman threatened you, instead of being upset by yourself."
"You believe me?" Huang Jingli was moved, as if she had found someone to rely on.
"Whether you have good character or not, no one is more qualified to say than me. When you were with me, you were still a young woman." Wu Youliang chuckled. "I don't believe any of that nonsense."
"Do you really believe me?" Huang Jingli asked, wanting to know now that she felt relieved.
Wu Youliang took out a handkerchief to wipe Huang Jingli's tears and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, Hua Shan, and Cui Ying are all people of high moral character and integrity. If you weren't like that, how could they be your friends?"
"Thank you." Huang Jingli no longer had a family to rely on and didn't want these messy things to affect her current family.
“Alright, I’ll talk to my parents. If you’re upright, you have nothing to fear. Don’t be afraid of her threats,” Wu Youliang encouraged. “Let’s live our lives peacefully and ignore that crazy woman.”
After the two talked things out, Wu Youliang came over to help with the cooking.
"Thank you all for these past few days," Wu Youliang said with a smile. "If it weren't for you, Jingli would probably be stuck in a rut again."
"It's okay, we're friends and classmates!" He Tiantian said. "But you should still be careful. That woman, Lin Xiaoru, is like a leech; once she's stuck to you, it's hard to get rid of her. You need to be careful in the future and not fall into her trap."
He Tiantian's description wasn't pleasant to hear, but it was very apt.
"Well, she's a woman, I won't hold it against her. As long as Jingli and I are doing well, my parents love Jingli, and the teachers at school understand Jingli, then I have nothing to fear," Wu Youliang said. He wouldn't be foolish enough to beat up Lin Xiaoru and give that woman a chance to throw a tantrum.
Doing so will only put him in a passive position, and he might even be arrested and detained for a few days for assaulting a woman.
"It's good that you understand." Cui Ying smiled. "Alright, the food is ready. Quickly call Jingli out to eat."
During the meal, Huang Jingli regained her former cheerfulness and received her husband's understanding. She felt relieved and relaxed.
After Lin Xiaoru left, she did not leave immediately, still feeling indignant.
I glanced at my watch and realized it was almost time for class, so I had to hurry away.
Another wasted trip today, I didn't get any money.
Lin Xiaoru looked at her outdated clothes and felt particularly unhappy.
There are many tailor shops nowadays. As long as you have money, you can buy fabric and make clothes without needing coupons.
The meager allowance she received from school was only enough for her to eat, and it couldn't possibly meet her needs for buying clothes.
So she thought of Huang Jingli and went to great lengths to find her.
I didn't expect Huang Jingli to be married. Judging from her clothes, her family must be well-off. It's just that Huang Jingli looks like she's blind. She's a college student, yet she chose a man with that kind of appearance!
But it doesn't matter anymore, that man is ugly and he won't stay with her anyway!
Lin Xiaoru only thought about getting money from Huang Jingli so she could live a carefree life.
However, she did not expect that Huang Jingli would turn her back on her and refuse to lend her any money.
Hmph, she has plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Let's see how long Huang Jingli can hold out!
He Tiantian rode her bicycle home from school in the evening, thinking about what had happened that day.
If Lin Xiaoru doesn't cause her trouble, she won't pay any attention to Lin Xiaoru.
Some people are despicable, and she can't stoop to their level and bother with such people.
He Tiantian returned home, played with the children for a while, and then went to cook.
Every day is so fulfilling that time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yingjie has been gone for a month.
He Tiantian received a letter from Huo Yingjie within two days, and after receiving the letter, He Tiantian replied to Huo Yingjie.
Today, Huo Ruimin painted an abstract family portrait. The top part looks like a sun that has been bitten by a dog, and the middle part has four people outlined with strange lines, with two adults on the sides and two children in the middle.
Only a few strands of hair on their heads can distinguish between men and women. Three short hairs on their heads indicate Huo Yingjie and Huo Ruihua, while three long hairs indicate He Tiantian and Huo Ruimin.
There are some small hairs on the ground, but they're not hair; they're weeds.
In the corner, there was something that looked like a stone, with a head like a stick, two eyes of different sizes, and four short legs.
This is a baby spiny turtle!
"Ruihua, your sister drew a family portrait for Dad. Is there anything you want to give him?" He Tiantian asked. Her son was too quiet and didn't take the initiative, so she tried to communicate with Huo Ruihua as much as possible whenever she had the chance.
Huo Ruihua thought for a moment, then ran into the house, took out the slingshot he had broken, and said, "Give it to Dad!"
That brat is full of tricks.
This isn't a gift for Dad; it's clearly sent to Huo Yingjie so he can fix it or make a new one for him.
“Okay.” He Tiantian took it. “I’ll send it to your dad.”
"Mommy, when is Daddy coming back?" Huo Ruimin hugged her mother's leg and asked coquettishly, counting on her fingers, "I've kissed Daddy so many times, countless times, but Daddy just won't come back."
For a month now, every morning when he wakes up and every night when he goes to bed, Huo Ruimin hugs Huo Yingjie's photo frame and kisses it.
“If I kiss you a hundred more times, Daddy will come back,” He Tiantian replied, feeling a little sad.
"A hundred times?" Huo Ruimin was shocked. She stretched out both hands and counted again and again, but found that she couldn't count them all. "It's over, Dad doesn't love us anymore."
"Why do you say that?" He Tiantian asked, finding the child's thinking interesting.
“Because, because, a hundred times is too many, I can’t count them all,” Huo Ruimin said. “If I can’t count them all, I won’t be able to kiss him enough, and if I can’t kiss him enough, Daddy won’t come.”
“Hehe, that’s fine. Ruimin can count them clearly if she studies with her mother.” He Tiantian said, turning her child’s longing for Huo Yingjie into studying.
