Aunt Wu felt uncomfortable after being given a cold face, no matter how thick-skinned she was, and quickly looked at everyone in the room.
Everyone lowered their heads, some pretending to look at the floor, some pretending to look at their fingernails, but no one looked up at her. Finally, Aunt Wu said, "Huh, they're still relatives, but you don't even help with this little thing. What kind of people are you?" and left.
After Aunt Wu left, everyone looked up, glanced at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly. "This Aunt Wu is really hard to please," someone muttered quietly. "That's right, she always causes trouble every time she comes," another person echoed. "Forget it, forget it, let's just leave her alone and get back to work." Everyone stood up and went about their business. Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone knew in their hearts that it was best to avoid provoking people like Aunt Wu in the future.
Li Yichen's life these past few years was also a bit heartbreaking.
This year he was also allowed to go home for the New Year. He got off the train on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month and arrived home at the same time as his grandfather.
The old house at home was occupied by my grandfather's younger brother and his family, and we can't drive them out. Maybe they are shameless enough, so they live there with a clear conscience.
For the past ten years, the old man has been living in Jiang Huashu's house (space) and has not come back. His younger brother used the excuse that he was driven out by his son and daughter-in-law and had nowhere to live and there happened to be an empty room in his eldest brother's house, so he stayed in the old house.
Old Master Jiang only has this one biological brother. Although he knows that he likes to take advantage of small opportunities and is a little stingy, they are related by blood after all, so he lets his brother's elderly couple stay here temporarily.
Later, Li Cheng asked the old man to stay at Jiang Huashuo's house all the time, and gradually he came back less often. When he came back occasionally, his second brother's son and his family were also there, making it inconvenient to come in and out.
Later, Li Yichen got engaged to Shui Shui again, and the old man's relationship with Jiang Huashu's family became better and better, so he had even less time to come back. So, the shameless second brother simply regarded the old house as his own property.
Li Yichen stood before that familiar yet unfamiliar door, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. This door, which had opened wide to welcome him back countless times, now seemed like a wall, insurmountable. He clearly remembered that this was his warmest harbor as a child. His grandfather's laughter, his father's teachings, and his mother's care had all left a deep impression behind this door.
But now, the scene behind the door is no longer what it was before.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the door he hadn't seen for a long time. When the door opened, the faces of the second grandfather's family showed surprise. Li Yichen didn't say much, but just walked in silently. He looked around at this home that once belonged to him, and his heart was filled with emotion.
As he entered the house, he saw the occupied old house, and he felt a mixture of emotions. Every corner of the old house carried his childhood memories, those laughter and those carefree days, but now it has become a deserted property in the eyes of others.
He walked into the house and found that the furnishings inside had changed a lot. All the furniture he remembered had been replaced with cheap and unfamiliar objects.
His eyes swept around the room, finally stopping at the old wooden bed that had accompanied him through countless nights since childhood. Now, the bed had also been moved to the corner, and was piled with miscellaneous items, as if telling him about its misfortune.
Li Yichen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. This matter cannot be resolved impulsively, otherwise it will only make things more complicated.
