The moment I saw my stepmother, my hands were shaking and the money in my hands almost fell to the ground.
He remembered something and quickly hid the money behind his back so that his stepmother wouldn't see it.
It's so unfortunate that he was caught.
This kind of thing is really too difficult to talk about for a proud and arrogant child like Huo Haowen.
I suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Jiang Mengning walked up to Huo Haowen, panting, and looked at the money he hid behind his back with a serious expression.
It was the first time she showed such an expression in front of her child.
She has always been carefree and heartless, but now she really can't laugh at all.
Especially when I saw the little guy working so hard, I felt so sad.
She really didn't expect that Huo Haowen worked so hard to make money just to help her pay off her debts.
So, this is the reason why he never told me where the twenty yuan came from.
This child usually doesn't act close to her at all, but unexpectedly, he can go to such an extent for her.
Are all the male protagonists in novels so tough on the outside but soft on the inside?
"Hey, kid, you work so hard every day to make money just to help me pay off my debts! You're such a good kid."
She felt that she was being too sentimental and was afraid that it would make the little one even more embarrassed, so she became nonchalant again.
Huo Haowen was indeed relieved.
But still a little nervous.
I dare not look into my stepmother's eyes.
"You followed me." He tilted his head and accused weakly.
"What do you mean by stalking you? I'm just caring about you. Look, I followed you early this morning, over a mountain, through countless paths, and even squatted in the woods feeding mosquitoes for two hours. Now my legs are covered in lumps. Why did I do this? Of course it's because of love. I love you and care about you. How can you still have the heart to accuse me of stalking you?"
She keeps coming up with a lot of fallacies every day, and it's impossible not to accept her.
Huo Haowen glanced at his stepmother's exposed arms, which really looked like they were bitten by mosquitoes.
There is one not only on the arms and legs, but also on the nose.
It looks quite funny.
He knew that his stepmother cared a lot about her appearance, but today she was willing to feed mosquitoes for him, as if she really cared about him!
Huo Haowen convinced himself.
"I didn't ask you to go."
He still insisted.
But action is always faster than thinking.
He handed the money in his hand to his stepmother.
"I did earn this money by moving bricks. Since you've discovered it, I'll give it to you. Don't you still owe me money? Pay me back part of it first. I'll work hard to earn the rest."
Jiang Meng suppressed her smile and stared at Huo Haowen blankly. She was really touched.
"Hey, what's with that expression on your face? Don't look at me like that. I just don't want you to hold my dad back. If the people in the compound knew that you owed money outside, my dad would be embarrassed again."
"Also, don't tell my dad about this. I don't want him to worry."
Jiang Mengning curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, then this is a secret between the two of us. Haowen, thank you so much, but I can't take this money. I forgot to tell you that I've already paid back the money I owed."
Huo Haowen: "..."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the pork seller."
The two of them looked at Li Sanwa at the same time.
Oh, I almost didn’t react.
Li Sanwa quickly put the mirror in his hand into his pocket, and with a stroke of his hands, he combed his hair into a middle part.
He was originally wearing a vest and a greasy black apron, but no one knew when he changed it into a white shirt and shorts.
Coupled with his smiling face and round body, he looks festive.
"Hehe, Meng Ning! Why are you here?"
Li Sanwa hesitated and walked in front of Jiang Mengning in small steps.
"You left in such a hurry last time that I forgot to tell you that you don't have to pay me back. I gave it to you. You know, I'm so poor that I only have money left. I don't really care about a hundred or two hundred yuan. If you're willing, I can give you this store!"
"Hehe, I just think you're pretty cute and I like you. I just want to ask you, are you willing to marry me? If you marry me, I'll give you all the pork in my house."
Jiang Mengning shuddered, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Huo Haowen looked at his stepmother in disbelief.
"Don't get me wrong, but don't tell your dad that I'm in love again."
Jiang Mengning doesn't like too many romantic things.
She grabbed Huo Haowen's hand and said to Li Sanwa, "I'm sorry, I'm already married and have a son. I really can't eat your pork. Goodbye."
He grabbed his son and ran away.
"Oh." Li Sanwa looked at the disappearing figure, and his little eyes gradually became moist.
"Woo, Mom, I'm so sad!"
Li's mother came out and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Oh my god, why are you dressed like this? Aren't you selling meat?"
Dressed like she's on a blind date.
"Mom, she lied to me. She said she had a son, but the son was about the same age as her. How could he be her son? She just wanted to lie to me."
After hearing this, Li's mother naturally knew who her son was talking about.
Ever since he met Jiang Mengning, his son has lost his soul.
"Oh, I've said it before, she's a liar. She approaches you just to cheat you out of your money and your meat. Just ignore her. She doesn't like you."
"No."
Li Sanwa looks fierce and aggressive.
"She likes me. If she didn't like me, why didn't she lie to someone else? She lied to me, which proves that I'm worth lying to. I should be happy."
Mother Li: "...Well, you fool, you'll be cheated sooner or later. I don't care about you anymore. I feel like I won't have a good life even if you get married. You'd better enjoy yourself for two years first, so as to avoid being scolded by your daughter-in-law and your son."
Jiang Mengning sent Huo Haowen to school and then went home.
When we were almost at the military area, we happened to meet a private running.
She instinctively stepped aside.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
When the soldiers saw Jiang Mengning, they suddenly greeted her.
If there is one, there will be two.
"Hello, sister-in-law" rang out one after another.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Good morning, sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Good morning, sister-in-law."
Jiang Mengning felt very happy when she looked at these young faces.
He waved generously: "Hello."
At the end of the team was Huo Jinyan.
She stood in front of Jiang Mengning and was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he looked at her in surprise.
