Chapter 142: Not as Good as Him



"Grandma, you should also explain something, right?"

Huo Jue's eyes fell on Old Madam Huo, who looked concerned. "Ajue, I called you over here because I really want to ask you about your future plans."

"If you really become a college student, will you come back?"

Huo Jue was stunned, his eyes falling on his grandmother's old face. For a moment he was unable to answer.

Old Mrs. Huo forced a smile. "I know you're capable, Huo Jue. What happened before was indeed my fault. If you could really leave, would you still want me?"

Huo Jue glanced at the old lady. "Grandma, why are you suddenly asking me these questions? Did someone tell you something nonsense?"

"No."

Old Mrs. Huo sighed, and the uneasiness in her heart grew with time.

There was even a moment when she regretted treating Huo Jue like that.

Huo Jue felt very bad, thinking about what he had done and how it would make his grandmother worry. He thought for a moment and finally said, "Grandma, I don't care what you think, but I can't change the fact that I am a descendant of the Huo family."

"You can rest assured. No matter where I go, I will always be your grandson, and I will never leave."

"Okay, okay, you must be tired since you just came back today. Go and have a good rest."

The old lady waved her hand, and Huo Jue also walked out of the house.

Back in his bedroom, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

Wen Xia Nuan also saw Huo Jue's condition: "What's wrong with you?"

Huo Jue curled his lips: "Nothing."

He waved his hand, saying that these things were already clichés.

Wen Xia Nuan swallowed the rest of her words. Huo Jue seemed to have thought of something and quickly stood up and said, "I almost forgot. The team leader asked me to go to the village committee to discuss the upcoming brick production. Ah Nuan, I'll be leaving first."

Wen Xia Nuan set her eyes on him and didn't refuse: "Okay, go and take a look first."

Huo Jue walked out in a hurry and soon arrived at the brick kiln factory.

The captain had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Huo Jue appear, he quickly waved at him and said, "Ajue, here!"

"Captain, I'm late."

Huo Jue's eyes fell on him, and then he looked at the many villagers standing in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Are these your new recruits?"

"Yes, Ajue, the brick production this time is much higher. I don't think our brick kiln can continue to operate with just the people here. Do you think this group of people can handle it?"

Everyone around was working in full swing.

Huo Jue heard the captain's voice and glanced at the villagers one by one. He said with concern, "Captain, I'm certainly confident in the people you've selected. Besides, you know I'm the village's top leader, so why should I be worried?"

The captain was delighted by Huo Jue's words. He looked at the man with a smile and said, "I knew you could talk."

Huo Jue was not good at speaking but he felt that as long as the captain was involved in these matters, there wouldn't be any big problems.

"Then why don't you teach them how to produce bricks first? Once they get the hang of it, our efficiency should be greatly improved."

The production of bricks is neither difficult nor easy.

Huo Jue looked at the captain's serious expression and nodded, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."

"Good boy, I knew it was right to leave it to you."

After the brick factory reopened, the village's income improved a lot.

Looking at Huo Jue now, the captain felt relieved.

The brick factory was bustling with activity. On the other hand, Huo Zhiguo saw that it had been several months, but Li Mei was still unwilling to come back, and he was indeed feeling anxious in his heart.

While it was still early, he thought about it and finally decided to go and take a look himself.

Li Mei didn't expect that Huo Zhiguo would come here to see her.

She felt inexplicably surprised the moment she saw the man, but soon, anger surged from the bottom of her heart, and Li Mei turned and left without thinking.

Huo Zhiguo quickly followed and his eyes fell on his wife, and he said in a panic: "Amei, I'm here to see you."

Li Mei's eyes fell on Huo Zhiguo. She sneered and shook her hand: "Huo Zhiguo, what's the matter with you coming to see me now? We have already said everything we need to say before. There is no need for you to come to me at all!"

Huo Zhiguo sighed for a long time. Li Mei's heart was as hard as a rock. When she looked at Huo Zhiguo, she was calmer than ever before: "Huo Zhiguo, I have said everything I should and shouldn't say. You can go back."

"Li Mei, I finally came to you, is this all you can tell me?"

Huo Zhiguo held her hand tightly, and said seriously, "I came here this time to take you back. Let's go see your eldest brother and your parents, and then go back, right?"

Li Mei really didn't want the two of them to stand on the road and tug at each other.

When Li Jianhua learned that his sister was struggling with a man, he rushed over and hit Huo Zhiguo with his stick: "Let go of my sister! Let go!"

Huo Zhiguo began to run around. His wailing voice was so familiar that Li Jianhua stopped what he was doing. "Huo Zhiguo?"

"Brother-in-law, why are you so cruel to me?"

Huo Zhiguo spoke with grievance, and when he looked at Li Jianhua in front of him, he was very sad: "I can't even imagine that you would do these things."

"Oh, this is all a misunderstanding."

Li Jianhua threw the stick in his hand and hurried forward to check the injuries on Huo Zhiguo's body: "Let me take a look, I hope I don't hurt you."

When he heard this, Huo Zhiguo also dodged quickly: "Don't do that, I'm really scared of you!"

Li Jianhua looked at Huo Zhiguo helplessly: "This is really a misunderstanding! Why don't you believe me?"

He scratched his head and cheeks. Li Mei was also distressed to see her man beaten like this. Her awkward gaze fell on Li Jianhua: "Brother, you are really a fool. How could you beat him like this?"

Li Mei felt distressed. Huo Zhiguo stopped wailing and looked at Li Mei: "Amei, are you willing to go back with me now?"

Huo Zhiguo's face is now as swollen as a pig's head, but he is still smiling.

Li Mei saw this but said nothing. Instead, Li Jianhua, who was standing nearby, said, "Amei, since he's already come to your door, I don't think you can let him go. Why don't you just follow him?"
