After finishing breakfast, Lai Zi didn't stay long and left when no one was around.
Boss Huang asked him to come over for lunch, but he just smiled and neither said he would come nor he wouldn't.
After Lai Zi left, Huang Xiaosi finally found an opportunity to vent.
“Mom, you don’t know how filthy Lai Zi’s house is. The yard is piled with all sorts of junk, like a stool with three legs broken, a basket covered in dust, broken bricks and tiles… so much stuff. It took all night to clean it up.”
"So," Jiang Nuan's lips twitched, "in the middle of the night, a bunch of you were cleaning the yard?"
Jiang Nuan was utterly amazed by this incredible move.
Why does it have to be late at night?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan felt a little sorry for Lai Zi's neighbor, wondering if he had been frightened last night.
“Not only that,” Huang Xiaosi sniffed, “Lai Zi’s house is really filthy. There’s a stench in the house, and the kitchen is covered in cobwebs.”
As he spoke, Huang Xiaosi sighed, "I really don't know how he manages to live. He's such a grown man and still can't take care of himself. It's really pitiful."
Thinking of the filthy state of the yard, Huang Xiaosi felt extremely sorry for Lai Zi. Living in such a place was worse than living in their cowshed.
Thinking of this, he immediately became anxious. "Mom, how's our cow? Was it stolen?"
"No, don't worry," Jiang Nuan patted Huang Xiaosi's head, "Call Huang Yi over, I'll teach you a few more words today."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After teaching Xiao Si and Huang Yi, Jiang Nuan realized what she had forgotten.
She had promised to go to Huang Ye's house to fetch cabbages, but she had completely forgotten.
Slapping her forehead, Jiang Nuan quickly called her son over, "You guys, go to Huang Ye's house and bring the cabbage back. We were supposed to do it yesterday, but I forgot. I don't know if they're worried."
They were not only anxious, but Huang Ye's wife was so anxious that she cried.
After Jiang Nuan left, she immediately cleaned up the cabbage.
They broke off all the old, yellow, and rotten leaves to eat themselves, washed all the mud off the cabbages, and neatly stacked them in the corner, waiting for Huang Laoda and his brothers to come and get them.
As a result, they waited from dusk until the moon was high in the sky, but didn't see a single person.
She wanted to ask, but she was too embarrassed and it was getting late, so she sat alone in the hall and cried.
They didn't dare to speak loudly, afraid of disturbing the sleeping yellow leaves.
The doctor repeatedly instructed Huang Ye to eat well, drink well, and sleep well.
She couldn't do the first two things, so she could only make sure he slept well.
I cried for half the night, and was so tired and sleepy that I finally went back to my room to sleep.
When I woke up early in the morning, my eyes were swollen like walnuts, and I kept my head down for fear of being discovered.
However, they couldn't keep it a secret forever.
"Wife," Huang Ye, lying on the bed, sensed his wife's unusual behavior, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, no," Huang Ye's wife said in a panic, shaking her head repeatedly. "Nothing's wrong, don't overthink it."
"Why are you bowing your head?" Huang Ye didn't believe his wife's words. "Lift your head, let me see what's wrong."
"It's really nothing," Huang Ye's wife quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve. "Husband, I'll go make you breakfast."
After saying that, he hurriedly fled out of the room.
Seeing this, Huang Ye helplessly lowered her hand.
He's a useless man who can't even protect his wife; he doesn't deserve to live in this world.
His wife is such a good girl, but she has become increasingly haggard because of him, and now she is so thin that she is unrecognizable.
The bus driver threw out a coin, but his legs still felt nothing. Perhaps...
