Chapter 31 Rat Poison Warning
Liu Honghe ran away from home. Not only did Liu Laohei have to beg the people in the yard to help find him, but in the end he was lectured by everyone and was very angry.
But Liu Honghe had just been found, and Liu Laohei didn't dare scold him anymore, for fear of getting him kicked out again. If he had been angry, he only vented it on the other two children.
"I asked you to find someone, but you didn't go to your mother's grave? In the end, Honghe was found by someone else, and I lost face."
Liu Hongshan and Liu Hongying didn't dare to refute and just lowered their heads and said nothing.
But Liu Laohei was not going to let them go, and continued to scold: "You two are silent every day, and you have never said anything good. No matter what, Honghe is still your brother, don't you know how to protect him?"
Liu Hongshan retorted in a low voice, "How can I protect him? I can't give him my job and let me go to the countryside. I won't do that."
Although Liu Laohei helped him buy the job, he was the one who worked there. Unless he died, if Liu Honghe wanted to take over his job, Liu Hongshan would have to go to the leader in person and hand it over in person.
As long as he doesn't want to, no one can take this job away. So Liu Hongshan is very calm.
"Dad, we've found Honghe, and we have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go to bed early."
After saying that, Liu Hongshan went into the house to sleep.
Seeing Liu Hongshan hiding, Liu Hongying also said: "I am a person who returned to the city due to illness. I can't help you with your going to the countryside."
Seeing that Liu Hongying also wanted to hide, Liu Laohei got angry and threw an enamel water bottle at her, leaving a large red spot on Liu Hongying's forehead.
"I've raised you up, and all you know is eating. You're useless."
Liu Hongying covered her forehead and started crying quietly. She knew that Liu Laohei wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't dare to vent it on his son, who had a job and was strong, so he could only scold her for being a useless daughter.
Obviously, she was the only one who was unable to help and was beaten and scolded.
Liu Laohei said impatiently: "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry. You have cried away all the blessings in our family. If you want to cry, go to your future husband's house and cry, don't cry at home. You are not a good person, but your eyes are as high as the sky. You look down on every man."
Not long after that, Liu Laohei, who had just received more than 100 yuan from the Zhao family, started to dislike her again.
If life at home hadn't been difficult, Liu Hongying wouldn't have tried so hard to find a good man to marry. But now that she hasn't met the right person, Liu Hongying can only continue to endure.
Her eyes were so painful from crying that she was ready to go outside to wash her face with cold water.
But as soon as she took a step, Liu Laohei's heart tightened and he warned her, "If you dare to run away from home like your brother, don't come back. Do you think I will look for you?"
"I'm just going to wash my face." Liu Hongying replied in a muffled voice.
As a girl, how could she dare to learn from Liu Honghe? Because of Zhao Qi's incident, many hooligans on the street who she despised had set their sights on her, thinking they could take advantage of her. Recently, she didn't dare to go to crowded places alone, let alone stay out all night.
She felt aggrieved, but she could only swallow it.
Seeing Liu Hongying's bullied look, Liu Laohei felt annoyed. He glanced at her with disdain, turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
The three of them, father and two of his sons, lived in one room. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Liu Honghe snoring.
Liu Honghe made a mess of the house, but he himself slept like a dead pig.
Everyone made a big fuss at night, but still had to go to work and school as usual the next day.
Lin Xiangnan had taken such a long leave that he felt embarrassed to miss the graduation exam, so he went to school obediently.
When she came back at noon, she saw Hu Meili looking nervous and had locked all the cupboards in the house.
"Mom, did you buy something good to prevent us from stealing it?" Lin Xiangxi asked with shining eyes: "Did you buy meat again? Or did your company distribute candy?"
Lin Xiangnan also joked, "Mom, you are too stingy. I treated you to the meat when I got it, but you hid the good stuff. That's not right."
"You two stupid bastards, you only know how to eat." Hu Meili said with a headache: "I'm on guard against Honghe poisoning us."
Lin Xiangnan asked tentatively: "Rat poison?"
"right!"
Hu Meili explained: "I just got back from get off work, and your Aunt Liu pulled me aside and told me that she saw Honghe running to the agricultural machinery station today. Honghe was so scared when he saw an acquaintance that he ran away. When your Aunt Liu saw this, she felt something was wrong and quickly ran to ask the staff at the agricultural machinery station. Guess what happened?"
"So did he buy it or not?" Lin Xiangnan urged, "Why are you keeping us in suspense when talking to us?"
"Kid, do you know how to chat?" Hu Meili looked at Lin Xiangnan with disdain and said, "Although Honghe didn't buy it at that time, who knows if he will buy it later. He didn't get along with us before, so we have to be on guard against him."
Lin Xiangnan said: "Then our cabinet should indeed be locked."
"That's right. The other families in the yard are a little scared and have locked up their food cabinets. Everyone lives in the same yard, so there are a lot of small bumps and bruises. If Honghe gets angry, everyone in the yard will be doomed."
Liu Honghe's actions made everyone in the yard nervous, but the most nervous were the Liu family.
Even Hu Meili was notified, and Liu Hongying was naturally also reminded to be careful when cooking and to throw away anything that was wrong.
Although there was an eyewitness, Aunt Liu, Liu Honghe denied it when he was questioned at the dinner table.
"Aunt Liu is talking nonsense. I didn't go to the agricultural machinery station, didn't ask about the prices of pesticides and rat poison, and didn't plan to save money to buy them."
These words are reassuring. It would be even better if Liu Honghe didn't roll his eyes and his face didn't turn red when he spoke.
He looks so guilty that it's hard to believe that he has nothing to hide.
Now the Liu family members were really in tears.
Liu Hongshan felt that his stupid brother was really capable of doing something that would cause the death of his entire family, and he clenched his chopsticks nervously.
"The scrapyard has been busy these days. I won't be back for dinner these days."
Eating out wastes money and tickets, but it doesn't waste your life. Usually Liu Hongshan would say some polite words to smooth things over, but at this critical moment, he didn't even want to say polite words.
Face is not as important as your own life.
Anyway, Liu Honghe should go to the countryside in no more than half a month, and the alarm will be lifted at home by then.
Liu Honghe seemed to have not noticed his defense, and said enthusiastically and proactively: "Brother, don't wrong yourself. I can bring you food at noon and in the evening!"
"No need." Liu Hongshan's smile froze. Who would dare to eat the food brought by this kid?
"Yes, yes. It's only a few days away anyway."
