After a while, Hu Lin was the only one left in the hall. She stood under the eaves of the hall near the kitchen, pretending she knew nothing.
Hu Chunsheng glanced at Hu Lin and knew her personality. Seeing that she didn't seem to be nosy, Hu Chunsheng didn't bother to chase her away.
He took a deep puff of his pipe and finally suppressed the raging anger in his heart.
Inside the house, Hu Xiaoyi looked at the slap mark on Cao Zhaodi's face helplessly, "Mom."
"Get out." Cao Zhaodi looked at Hu Xiaoyi viciously, not disguising the disgust and nausea in her eyes at all.
"Mom, it was indeed the two children who did something wrong regarding Third Brother's matter.
I didn’t intervene at the time because I was thinking about educating the two children. Didn’t you also say that it’s hard to educate children when they grow up—”
"Who do you think you are to teach their children?"
Hu Xiaoyi was interrupted by Cao Zhaodi before he could finish his words.
Hu Xiaoyi's words, "Didn't you tell me the same thing at the beginning, asking me to teach that bitch a good lesson," were stuck in his throat before he could finish them.
When he heard Cao Zhaodi's words, the words stuck in his throat turned into sharp knives, cutting his throat into pieces.
I couldn't utter another word.
It turns out that in his mother's heart, he and his third brother hold the same position?
You’re not even qualified to teach your third brother’s children?
"I'll say it again, get out." Cao Zhaodi picked up the old-fashioned iron scissors from the handmade basket beside her.
She felt that if Hu Xiaoyi didn't get out, she would stab him with the scissors in her hand just like she did to Sun Fangfen.
When Hu Xiaoyi saw Cao Zhaodi's actions, his already wounded heart was shattered into pieces at this moment.
Hu Xiaoyi left the house in a daze. Hu Chunsheng, who was outside the house, heard the sound of Hu Xiaoyi closing the door, turned around and glanced at Hu Xiaoyi indifferently.
"If you have nothing to do, go back and don't come here recently." Hu Chunsheng said this while still taking some of his anger out on Hu Xiaoyi.
Hu Xiaoyi approached Hu Chunsheng and looked at his father's thin, slightly bent back with mixed feelings, "Dad."
No wonder I never saw my father or mother’s brothers and sisters come to our house when I was a child.
When he asked his mother when he was a child, his mother only said that his father's brothers and sisters had moved to another place and they lived too far away and didn't visit each other often.
The same is true for my mother's brothers and sisters.
Now it seems that what my mother said just now is the real reason.
"Everything you heard should be kept in your stomach." Hu Chunsheng looked at the snow falling from the sky and took a deep puff of his pipe.
Hu Xiaoyi nodded.
No matter what, he would never tell anyone about this.
Not only is it a matter of considering my father's face, but I also cannot lose the reputation of the Hu family.
If this gets out, not only will those of them who have lived half their lives, but the younger generations of the Hu family will never be able to hold their heads up high.
Hu Xiaoyi caught a glimpse of Hu Lin standing under the eaves not far away from the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered why they came to the Hu family.
Looking at his father's gray hair, Hu Lin pursed his lips, undecided.
Should I go back and find time to come back later, or should I talk about it now?
I just heard my father say that I shouldn't come over for the time being, so he should just settle the matter today.
I don't know how long the 'recent period' my father mentioned is.
New Year’s Eve is in another month, and that is the final deadline.
"Dad, I came here today to ask you to go to the clinic to settle Li Aihua's medical expenses..."
Hu Xiaoyi couldn't continue talking at this point.
Hu Chunsheng paused as he was about to smoke.
When Hu Lin heard Hu Xiaoyi's words, he looked over in surprise.
Did he get his head caught in the door?
Even in this situation, you still haven't forgotten your mission?
Is this the ultimate form of linear thinking?
You are asking for trouble!
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Hu Lin's mind, and he decided to watch the show.
Hu Chunsheng didn't answer for a long time, just silently inhaled and exhaled smoke.
To be honest, he had actually forgotten about this matter and thought that his son came to see his mother today.
He always thought that the eldest brother was the one most deeply poisoned by Cao Zhaodi, but now it seems that is not entirely true.
After all, we have separated, and there is a distance between us no matter what.
"Let's go on New Year's Eve. After that, we can have a family reunion dinner." Hu Chunsheng turned around and looked at Hu Xiaoyi.
He had now come to his senses and realized that what he had said just now had gone a bit too far, so he started to make amends.
"Eh." Hu Xiaoyi nodded, feeling a little sad.
When he first heard his father asking him not to come over for the time being, he thought they would not be able to have a part in the reunion dinner this year.

The snow on the ground had become thick again, and on the way back Hu Lin had gradually gotten used to the reed shoes on his feet.
After returning home, Li Aihua saw that something was not right with Hu Xiaoyi and the swollen slap mark on his face, and looked at Hu Lin in surprise.
Going to the Hu family to fight?
Hu Xiaoyi ignored Li Aihua who was sitting in the hall sewing the lining and went straight back to the bedroom.
Seeing Li Aihua's curious look, Hu Lin briefly recounted what had happened.
As for the fact that Hu Chunsheng angered his father to death, she didn't say anything.
Li Aihua's current mental state is not up to standard, so it's useless to know about it. The consequence of not being able to keep the truth secret is just causing trouble.
Hu Lin drank some warm water and went back to the house. Li Aihua thought about it, went to the kitchen, lit a fire and boiled two eggs.
When she brought the eggs into the room, Hu Xiaoyi was lying on the kang on his side.
Hearing the door being pushed open, he moved slightly.
Li Aihua looked at him and slowly brought the egg over with her cane. "I boiled some eggs for you. Get up and apply some."
