The question that touched Hu Jianguo's soul made him feel very uncomfortable.
He couldn't do anything to Feng Yun, but he couldn't lose face as a father, so he said with a fierce face, "What are you talking about? Am I afraid of your mother? I am the head of this family, and your mother has to listen to me!"
Hu Guangcong and Hu Chunhua looked at each other, both with smiles in their eyes.
You see, his dad will have to find a way down by himself soon.
Sure enough, a second later, Hu Jianguo coughed lightly. "But your mother has worked very hard collecting herbs in the mountains. I am her man, so I should know how to pamper her. So, Chunhua, hurry up and cook, and Guangcong, clean up the yard."
This is his usual way of dealing with things.
He couldn't do anything to the fourth and sixth brothers, but the fifth brother was obedient and would do whatever he was told to do.
Unexpectedly, Hu Guangcong was not happy this time.
"Dad, think about it, what did Mom say before? Whoever doesn't work, won't have food to eat. Earning work points is a matter of personal preference, and the same goes for household chores.
My fourth and sixth brothers made the mess at home. If I don't let them clean up, won't Mom get angry when she comes back and finds out?
I don't care. I just do the work. As long as the family is harmonious, that's all that matters. But it's different now. Mom will definitely ask about it when she comes back. When she finds out it was you who asked me to do it, she won't be mad at me for working, she'll just be mad at you for making random arrangements..."
Before Hu Guangcong finished speaking, Hu Jianguo shuddered.
The old woman did tell him not to spoil the sixth and fourth sons.
Forget it, whoever caused the trouble should clean it up. That's it. Can't get those two to come? Simple, just don't clean it up. Feng Yun will take care of those two troublesome people later.
Hu Guangjin heard the conversation in the yard in a daze and got up from the bed in anger.
"Old Five, why are you making up so many excuses? It's just cleaning up the house. It won't kill you, right? What's wrong with cleaning up? Are you afraid that Mom will find out? It's simple. Wouldn't it be better if you just didn't tell her?"
Lao Liu also heard their conversation. He curled his lips and said that he would not get up. It was not his fault. He did not want to say anything and get himself into trouble.
Hu Guangcong glanced at the yard and then looked at Hu Guangjin.
"There's a foul smell at the door, and you've changed your clothes, which means you've been peed on. Where did it come from? Either someone else splashed it on you, or it came from home. If it came from home, the most likely scenario is that Mom arranged it in advance. Do you think Mom will ask about it when she comes home and sees everything is fine?"
Hu Guangjin had a constipated expression on his face, "How come you..." Are you suddenly so smart?
This old man, who has always been quiet, is also smart and can guess almost everything!
Just as he was about to retort, his cousin Chen Meifang came over with some melon seeds in her hand and told him the story of the afternoon's farce with exaggerated details. The veins on Hu Jianguo's forehead kept throbbing when he heard it.
"Old Four! Are you really back to steal my money?"
In the past, he would not have believed what others said so easily, but this morning he saw with his own eyes how much his son listened to Xu Lijuan.
He believed without a second thought that Hu Guangjin could do such a thing!
Hu Guangjin's purple face turned pale visibly, "I didn't."
"Alright, hurry up and clean it up for me, or I won't let you go!"
Hu Guangjin was very upset and insisted on asking Hu Guangcai to work with him. Hu Guangcai ignored him, and the two had another fight, making the house even more chaotic.
Hu Jianguo was so angry that his head was buzzing, so he simply ran to his elder brother, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Hu Chunhua wanted to come out and help clean up to avoid her mother getting upset when she came back, but she also felt that the most important thing was for her mother to have a hot meal when she came back. Plus, Guangcong was right, her mother didn't like her to do all the work, so she stayed in the kitchen to cook, pretending not to hear the farce outside.
In the end, Hu Guangjin cleaned up the house by himself.
What else can we do?
His mother has beaten him so many times today, and that urine bucket is definitely guarding against him. Does he dare to have any luck again?
Feng Yun came back half an hour later.
She came back carrying a large basket of herbs and saw that the courtyard door was closed. She looked up carefully and didn't see the urine bucket, so she pushed the door open with confidence.
The yard is very tidy, but I don't know who cleaned it.
"Chunhua." Feng Yun put down the medicine basket. Hu Chunhua heard the voice and came out from the kitchen. "Mom, you're back. Just in time. The meal is just ready."
Feng Yun pulled her aside and asked, "Tell me how things are going at home?"
Feng Yun wanted to see the two children having fun.
When she made that arrangement, she didn't specifically target either of them. She treated everyone who didn't work equally.
Unexpectedly, the fourth brother got involved himself, and guessed that these two little bastards had caused quite a stir.
Hu Chunhua wanted to laugh when she thought about it, so she pulled Feng Yun into the kitchen and told him everything in a low voice.
After hearing this, Feng Yun smiled.
"But Mom, I don't think Sixth Brother lied. I think Fourth Brother came back to steal money, but he got mixed up, and that's how things turned out."
Feng Yun naturally knew that this was the fact.
Although Lao Liu is unreliable, he is just a little lazy and greedy, and he may not do such a thing as to wrongly accuse others.
The fourth brother is a brainless person. He believes whatever Xu Lijuan says. He can even make up a lot of trivial things to impress him and appease himself. He is totally capable of stealing money.
"I know what's going on. By the way, where's your dad? And the other two?"
"Dad's out. I guess he went to Grandma's. My fourth and sixth brothers had a fight. Both of them look so bad-faced that they're lying in their rooms."
Feng Yun snorted, "Go call your fifth brother to eat, and leave the rest alone."
Hu Chunhua couldn't bear it, "Mom, are you really going to starve my fourth and sixth brothers?"
Feng Yun squinted at her and warned, "Of course it's true, Chunhua, I'm telling you, if I catch you secretly bringing them food, you'll starve just like them. And the same goes for their clothes. Don't wash them. Let them do it themselves!"
Hu Chunhua was afraid that Feng Yun would lose his temper, so she nodded quickly and said, "No, I won't send them food."
The dinner was quite sumptuous. I had white rice, stir-fried beans, an eggplant, and some loofah and egg drop soup.
The food was served and the three of them quickly started eating.
When Hu Guangjin heard his mother coming back, he was a little afraid to go out, but when he heard the clinking of dishes outside, his stomach started to growl.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked out.
Hu Guangcai was much more direct than him. He got up quickly when he smelled the aroma of food in the main room.
"Mom, why don't you call me to eat? I'm starving."
He consciously went to the kitchen to get a bowl and filled it with rice. "Mom, I was the hero who stopped Fourth Brother from stealing money today. Is it okay to have a meal with me tonight?"
Feng Yun slapped his hand that was holding the food away, "You can eat, but there's no food for you."
