"Then why did Grandpa beat me for that bastard?" Xiao Hong asked tearfully, pointing to her burning face for Zhang Xueqin to see. "My face is all swollen! Mom, it hurts so much!"
Zhang Xueqin was heartbroken when she saw her son's face, which was swollen from being beaten. She angrily scolded him, "That old man is really too much! You are his grandson, and he even beat you!"
Xiao Hong blinked.
He felt that Zhang Xueqin's scolding of the old man was not very nice, but when he felt the burning pain on his face, he said angrily, "He hit me, and I won't recognize him as my grandfather anymore! Since he likes that bastard, he should just be his grandfather!"
Zhang Xueqin got anxious when she heard this: "Don't talk nonsense! That's your grandfather, how can he give him away? Do you see our house? This is your grandfather's house, it will be yours from now on.
If that old man hears what you said, he will no longer recognize you as his grandson and leave the house to that evildoer. We will all be kicked out and sleep on the street!"
The house they lived in before was confiscated due to Xiao Jinbu's corruption, so they had no choice but to move here. If they lost this house, they would have no other place to live in the future.
When talking about the house, Zhang Xueqin felt sad.
Originally, Xiao Aiguo could get back three houses, but Xiao Jinbu embezzled a large amount of money, and they did not have much savings to make up for it. In order to save Xiao Jinbu's life, Xiao Aiguo had to hand over the remaining two houses.
Finally, only the largest old house was left.
How could Zhang Xueqin not feel distressed? She was heartbroken! So she said she would keep the last remaining old house no matter what, for fear that Xiao Lin would snatch it away.
When Xiao Hong heard that he was going to be kicked out to sleep on the street, he was immediately frightened: "Mom, I don't want to sleep on the street!"
Zhang Xueqin immediately said, "Then you have to be obedient and stop talking nonsense, okay? Your grandfather is taking that evil star to see your grandmother. Go over now and don't let that evil star take your grandparents away."
Xiao Hong puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "Mom, why did Grandpa bring that evil star back? Isn't he afraid that Grandma will be killed by him?"
Zhang Xueqin said disdainfully: "Your grandfather is old and confused, so you have to go over and keep an eye on him. You can't let them give the good things to that evil star, do you understand?
Listen, from now on, your mission is to keep an eye on that evil star. Follow him wherever he goes, and don't make trouble with him in front of your grandfather, lest he get upset."
"Oh, I remember." Xiao Hong instantly became excited, "Mom, I'm going to see grandma now! I want to keep an eye on him and prevent him from stealing our things!"
Zhang Xueqin nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's it!"
Xiao Hong was a little happy then, and ran to see Du Yue'e with high morale.
At the same time, Xiao Lin had been brought to Du Yue'e's room by Xiao Aiguo. Seeing Du Yue'e lying on the bed with a sallow face, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After he dealt with Xiao Jinbu last year, he hadn't paid any attention to the Xiao family. After returning to Longjing after the New Year, he didn't pay any attention to them either.
Who would have thought that after not seeing her for a year, Du Yue'e would become like this.
She looked even older than when she was in the cowshed. Not only was her face sallow, but her hair was completely white. She looked like she was about to die.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She had changed so much that he could hardly recognize her.
