"Uncle Hao, did Aunt Li Yan take Chunmei to the mountain to collect firewood? They have been gone for a whole day and haven't come back yet. Do you want to take someone to look for them?"
Wei Fang waited in the yard for a whole day, but did not see Li Yan and Hao Chunmei return home. She thought that the mother and daughter had gone to the mountain to collect firewood and had not returned yet.
Old Hao looked at Wei Fang's concerned expression, his heart softened, and he told the truth with a smile.
"Hongmei's mother took her and my eldest grandson back to her parents' home."
"Wei Fang, wait for Hongmei to come back from her grandmother's house in a few days, then go play with her."
Wei Fang's face turned pale, she didn't believe what Lao Hao said. While Lao Hao turned around to carry firewood, she rushed into the main hall of the Hao family.
After entering the house, Wei Fang skillfully pulled the light cord on the wall. She looked around the main room with the light, but could not see Hao Hongmei and her daughter.
Wei Fang's eyes were filled with resentment. Thinking of Hao Hongmei going to her grandmother's house to enjoy the delicious food and drinks, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"Why aren't you going home yet? What are you doing hanging around in my house?"
Old Hao entered the house carrying a half-bundle of dried corn stalks and saw Wei Fang's thin body standing in the middle of the main room. Under the dim light, her palm-sized waxy yellow face looked gloomy and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing the gloomy aura of Wei Fang, Old Hao shook his head. No wonder his wife always told her daughter to stay away from Wei Fang. None of the children raised by Bai Hongmei were sensible.
"Why does Hao Hongmei want to go to her grandmother's house? Can't she go during the Chinese New Year?"
The damned Hao Hongmei actually went to visit relatives without even saying hello. Didn't she ever think that she would freeze to death during the few days she was away from home?
That old woman Li Yan is even more annoying. She knew that her family was living in poverty, but she didn’t even steam a pot of steamed buns for her before leaving?
Selfish, so selfish.
This Hao family is not good at all. They all only think about themselves and don't care about the life and death of the martyrs' children at all.
Bah, they are still relatives. You bastards, you don’t even care about family affection. You will never help them when you become successful in the future.
Wei Fang ran home angrily and resentfully without even saying hello to Lao Hao.
Even though Old Hao had long been accustomed to the Wei siblings' lack of manners, he still shook his head in disappointment.
He secretly felt lucky that Hongmei had not had a good relationship with them before. If they played together often, they would have learned bad habits sooner or later.
At this time, Hao Hongmei, who was far away in Yuanbao Town, was skipping rubber rope with her cousins and had long forgotten about Wei Fang, her fake best friend.
Li Yan, who was sitting on the kang table rolling out dumpling wrappers, yelled at Hao Hongmei with a look of disgust: "You guys go jump outside. Can't you see we are making dumplings here? You are making the room dusty. If you jump again, no one can eat dumplings."
Hao Hongmei made a face at her mother and ran out with her cousins.
Listening to the children's cheerful laughter, Li Yan's sister-in-law Pu Yuhua smiled and praised: "Hongmei is very open and not afraid of the stage. She is much better than the two girls in my family."
Li Yan snorted coldly and said with a curled lip, "Second sister-in-law, please don't praise her. This girl is heartless and likes to get along with people everywhere. She hasn't been here for almost a year, and she's already shouting before she even enters the yard. It's so annoying."
Pu Yuhua didn't care. It was polite for adults to praise their children. Hao Hongmei was like a boy, without any of the calmness that a girl should have.
But as an aunt, she dared not say a word. Children could not say it, but things between adults were not so difficult to talk about.
"You're back to visit before the Chinese New Year. Did you have a fight with your brother-in-law?"
As soon as Park Yuhua opened her mouth, the chattering in the room quieted down.
How can the family not be worried when they bring their daughter and grandchildren back to their parents' home during the holidays?
