Chapter 66 It’s all Gu Yan’s fault
Sun Hao's house was right next door, so Zhou An took Xu Zhixia there directly.
I knocked on the door in front of me, and it opened almost the next second.
Sun Hao looked no different from before, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Zhou An and the others.
Without waiting for Zhou An to speak, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law."
"You are here for the Xu family, right?"
Xu Zhixia quickly asked, "Comrade Sun, where are my parents?"
Sun Hao wanted to say something but stopped himself, and all the words on his lips turned into a sigh.
"Forget it. I can't explain it clearly in a short time. I'll take you to see it."
Xu Zhixia had a bad premonition in her heart. Zhou An noticed this, held her hand tightly, and gave her some comfort.
Under the leadership of Sun Hao, several people came to a remote and dilapidated house.
There was actually a garbage station next to it, but compared to the city on the island, the smell here was extremely bad.
Sun Hao came to the dilapidated house and knocked on the door carefully.
"Auntie, are you home?"
A cautious voice sounded: "Is that Sun Hao?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Zhixia's eyes suddenly turned red.
How could she not recognize that this was Xu's mother's voice?
The door in front of him was slowly opened, and what came into view was the old face of Xu's mother.
When she saw Xu Zhixia, she was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand tremblingly.
She said hesitantly: "Xia Xia?"
Xia Xia could no longer control the aggrieved mood in her heart, and threw herself into Xu's mother's arms, crying bitterly: "Mom, I miss you so much."
The atmosphere fell into silence. No one spoke for a moment, and only the crying of the mother and daughter could be heard.
It was unknown how long it took for Xu Zhixia to calm down.
She wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, what's going on? Why are you living here?"
She had clearly arranged a place for Xu's mother to live before she and Zhou An left.
Could it be that something went wrong?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhixia looked at Sun Hao inconspicuously, but did not show it on the surface.
But knowing that her daughter is like her mother, Xu's mother immediately saw what she was thinking.
He patted her hand soothingly and sighed helplessly: "This is a long story, come in first."
Xu Zhixia bit her teeth lightly and walked into the house with Xu's mother.
It was even more shabby than she had imagined, not even as big as the toilet in her small villa.
Just a few pieces of furniture are about to fall apart.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhixia felt like she was having difficulty breathing.
Because there was no place to do it, Xu's mother looked embarrassed.
He simply patted the bed and said, "It's too small here, sit here first."
Sun Hao was obviously used to it and looked at Xu Zhixia and Zhou An first.
After seeing Xu Zhixia and Zhou An sit down, he took a rag mat from the side and sat down casually on the ground.
He said carelessly: "Auntie, don't worry about me, I'll just sit on the ground and feel comfortable."
How could anyone be comfortable sitting on the ground? It was just to protect the Xu family's pride.
Xu's mother understood this, and Xu Zhixia naturally understood it too.
Xu's mother smiled gently and did not continue the topic.
He spoke slowly, "Your father and I took the initiative to move here."
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes: "But... why?"
Xu's mother comforted her, "It's not just about living here, I feel it's pretty good here."
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips and said nothing, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhou An suddenly said, "Sun Hao, you speak."
Sun Hao didn't expect that he would be involved. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's all because of Gu Yan."
Xu Zhixia suddenly looked at him. How was this related to Gu Yan?
Sun Hao bravely explained everything: "I don't know what kind of relationship Gu Yan had to get into that department."
"The first thing I did was to find fault with my aunt, saying...the Xu family is a capitalist family and shouldn't live so carefree."
Xu Zhixia clenched his fists, anger welling up in his heart.
They all moved out of the small villa, isn't that enough?
How could she not see that Gu Yan was just taking revenge on a personal basis?
Sun Hao continued, "Aunt and Uncle Xu offered to move here so as not to cause me any trouble."
"But Gu Yan pressed on, insisting that Uncle Xu and the others... clean the toilet."
He spoke the last three words very softly, as if he was afraid of irritating Xu Zhixia.
Even so, Xu Zhixia couldn't accept it.
She could never imagine her well-mannered father sweeping the toilet.
The Xu family handed over all their property and received promises from above. Why did this happen?
I'm afraid only Mr. Xu knows all this.
Xu Zhixia suppressed her anger and sent Sun Hao away.
The four of them huddled in the small room, it was incredibly crowded.
Zhou An said tactfully: "I'll go to the guesthouse and get two rooms. We can have a good chat tonight."
Xu's mother wanted to call him, but when she saw Xu Zhixia's cold gaze, she didn't say anything in the end.
Not long after Zhou An started walking, he saw a familiar figure at an intersection.
"Brother Xu, you can't sweep the floor like this. It's not clean at all."
Old man Zhang laughed so hard that he asked for a beating. As he spoke, he spat the melon seed shells in his mouth onto the ground.
Father Xu's face flushed red with anger, but he just held the broom tightly in his hand and did not refute.
Seeing him like this, Old Man Zhang pursed his lips in disdain.
So what if my family is rich? I'm still like a dog.
"Brother Xu, you have to listen carefully to what I say."
"You're a capitalist, but you can't even do such a simple job. You know, I..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, the melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground.
He was stunned for a moment and looked straight at the person who came.
Zhou An lowered his eyebrows, covering the coldness in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If you can do such a simple job, then do it well."
Father Xu's pupils suddenly contracted. Zhou An is back, but...where is Xia Xia?
When he thought of his precious daughter, his eyes welled up with sadness.
As if knowing what Father Xu was thinking, Zhou An turned around and said comfortingly, "Dad, Xia Xia is back too."
"Let's stop doing this. I'll take you back."
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Who are you? If you say you won't do it, then don't do it. Do you know..."
The rest of the words were not finished and the voice stopped abruptly.
Because Zhou An turned around, he could clearly see the military rank on Zhou An's shoulder.
He couldn't afford to offend this person, Old Man Zhang made a quick judgment.
He gave a gloomy smile and said, "I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. I'll do it. I'll do it."
After saying this, he lowered his head diligently and really started cleaning.
Zhou An turned a blind eye and left with Xu's father.
He could feel a resentful look on his back.
