Chapter 28 I didn't expect you to be this kind of person

Hu Meili loved to watch the fun, and the other people in the yard were no less excited, all of them came out with their bowls in their hands.

I was too lazy to stand, so I took out a stool and sat at the door to eat and watch.

Liu Laohei was also furious and forgot to lower his voice. Everyone only heard him cursing: "White-eyed wolf, unfilial son, beast..."

"You are partial to my elder brother, and you won't let me speak?" Liu Honghe retorted loudly, "Why should I go to the countryside just because you bought a job for my elder brother? Am I not your biological son?"

The people outside the yard looked at each other and realized that the quarrel was about going to the countryside again.

Before Hu Meili got divorced, there would be quarrels in the family every now and then. Now that they are divorced, the Liu family is still not at peace.

Lin Xiangnan listened and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "I feel a little sorry for this silly boy Liu Honghe."

"Why should we sympathize with him? When mom got divorced, he was standing up for Liu Hongying. Now it's his turn to go to the countryside, he deserves it." Lin Xiangxi had a gloating expression on his face.

"I just simply sympathize with his stupidity. He can't see the situation clearly at this time."

When Hu Meili proposed divorce, Liu Laohei did not try hard to keep her because he knew what Hu Meili was planning.

If Lin Xiangnan could find a good partner to marry before graduation and stay in the city, Hu Meili's divorce plan could be delayed. However, Liu Hongying ruined Lin Xiangnan's partner, so there was no room for easing the situation.

Liu Laohei understood the matter clearly, but Liu Honghe didn't think about the other side at all. He thought that he had lost his competitor Lin Xiangnan and his drag Hu Meili.

Without outsiders to interfere with the family, Liu Honghe's decision to go to the countryside was finally settled.

"Whoever wants to go to the countryside can go, but I won't go." Liu Honghe cried loudly, "If you force me, I will go to my mother's grave and kill myself."

Liu Laohei slapped the table and said, "Go if you have the guts. Go now! I raised you up and you're threatening me."

It was impossible to go now. Liu Honghe paused in his crying and said viciously: "My death cannot be in vain, we must die together. I will go buy a bottle of rat poison, and our family will die together."

"You are a heartless person." Liu Laohei was so angry that he smashed another bowl.

The father and son were arguing. Liu Hongying and Liu Hongshan, the brother and sister, didn't dare to get angry and just watched silently.

When Liu Hongying returned to the city, she was not only malnourished physically, but also mentally traumatized. In the early days after she returned, she pretended to be pitiful in order to gain sympathy and complained a lot.

Not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes were the least of my problems. In the summer, when farming was busy, my skin would peel off due to the sun. In the winter, my hands would be covered with large patches of chilblains, which would crack and fester, and my hands would swell like steamed buns. Even in this situation, I still had to keep my hands wet because I was alone outside and had no family to take care of me.

The more she described herself as miserable, the more her family sympathized with her. But this also had a disadvantage, which was that her brothers and sisters were all frightened and no one dared to go to the countryside.

In fact, now when you go to the countryside, you can go to the rural areas of your city instead of going to remote and poor areas. The conditions are much better.

But Liu Honghe was scared. He didn't want to go even to the rural areas of the city and just wanted to stay in the city.

Even if you don't have a job, you can sneak around the city as an unemployed youth.

In this family, apart from Liu Laohei, only Liu Hongshan had a job, and this job was bought by his family with money. So when the family quarreled about work and going to the countryside, he didn't dare to say a word.

There were six children in the family, and Liu Hongshan was the only one who benefited.

He was quite sensible. Whenever there was a quarrel at home, he would act as the invisible man, for fear that the war would spread to him.

But now that there are no outsiders in the house, no matter how hard he tries to hide, Liu Honghe still points the finger at his own brother.

"Since the family has no money to buy a new job, why don't you let my elder brother give me the job? Let my elder brother go to the countryside? It has to be me who goes." Liu Honghe was dissatisfied.

Liu Hongshan's heart tightened, and he immediately explained: "I have a girlfriend, and I told her that I will marry her when I pay off the debt and save enough money. She is a good girl, and I can't let her down."

"You can't let down that woman outside, but you can let down your own brother?" Liu Honghe retorted.

Liu Hongying glanced at her older brother and guessed that this was his excuse. They all lived together, so she knew whether her brother had a girlfriend or not.

Moreover, Liu Hongshan used all his monthly salary to pay off his debts, so where did he get the pocket money to date?

Liu Hongying was observant and could guess that something was wrong, but Liu Laohei was only concerned with having fun.

Seeing that Liu Honghe was still pestering about his brother's job, Liu Laohei scolded him, "He's your own brother! You asked him to go to the countryside for you while you stay in the city to enjoy a good life. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

Liu Honghe stubbornly retorted, "Why should I be embarrassed? You all have the nerve to bully me."

"Your elder brother was lucky and got a job. Now it's your turn. You are unlucky and it's your turn to go to the countryside. What can I do? It's fate."

Liu Honghe didn't believe in fate, but he couldn't argue with the three people in his family, so he ran out crying angrily.

The excitement at the Liu family ended, but the crowd in the yard did not disperse. Instead, they held their bowls and chatted in groups of three or four.

"When Sister Xu from the Street Office came today, I knew the Liu family was going to make a scene."

"Honghe is such a reckless kid. If he really goes to the countryside, he will suffer a lot."

"Sister Xu also went to your house today, right? Your child's going to the countryside has been decided."

"It's settled. My daughter is honest and won't make a fuss like Liu Honghe."

When Hu Meili heard this, she curled her lips secretly and said sarcastically, "You are not honest. How can she make trouble when you, as a mother, don't help your own daughter?"

Although both of them have been stepmothers, they have different philosophies. "You took care of your own children. But you ended up getting divorced."

Seeing the two men stabbing each other, the others hurried to smooth things over.

"Oh, I've finished my meal. I have to go back and wash the dishes. I won't say any more. Let's go back."

Hu Meili snorted and went back to the house with the bowl.

After dinner, when Hu Meili was packing up, Lin Xiangxi grabbed Lin Xiangnan's arm and said with a wink, "Sister, do you want to see Liu Honghe's joke?"

"Didn't he run away?"

Lin Xiangxi smiled proudly, "I guess he must have gone to the river to cry secretly. Every time he was wronged, he would go there to cry. Do you want to go and see?"

As brothers who grew up together and fought every now and then, Lin Xiangxi knew Liu Honghe too well.

As soon as he arrived at the river, Lin Xiangnan saw Liu Honghe crying bitterly.

When Lin Xiangxi saw him crying with snot and tears all over his face, he laughed so hard that he trembled, which immediately startled Liu Honghe.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "You said you wanted to buy rat poison to kill your sister and the others. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Liu Honghe said stubbornly, but his tone revealed his guilty conscience.

Lin Xiangnan rolled his eyes and pretended to be enlightened and said, "I understand. You must have said that on purpose to negotiate with your family. I have also read Lu Xun's article about removing the roof."

After hearing this, before Liu Honghe could say anything, Lin Xiangxi asked, "What article?"

"If you want to open a skylight and directly propose it, no one will agree. But if you advocate removing the roof, everyone will take a step back and agree to open a skylight. That's what I mean."

"Honghe wanted a job, but his family wouldn't give him one. But if he had just said he wanted everyone's life, his family would have backed off and been willing to find him a job."

"Oh~~" Lin Xiangxi suddenly understood and looked at Liu Honghe in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Liu Honghe was confused, "I didn't expect that..."
