"No, I'll leave right away. I'll go home first."
Xu Yang rushed out as if he was in a hurry, and Huo Zhengye was the only one left in the lounge.
Huo Zhengye did a hundred push-ups, took a breath and rested, and suddenly remembered what Xu Yang and Political Commissar Lou said:
"You're not in love with Shu Wan, are you?"
'Do you regret your divorce?'
His narrow black eyes narrowed and his thin lips stained with sweat were tightly pursed. He was just soft-hearted and overwhelmed with sympathy. He didn't want Shu Wan to miss the opportunity. He had no other intentions. Anyway... it was impossible for him to fall in love with Shu Wan.
Huo Zhengye lay down again and continued to do push-ups.
On the other side, Bai Qianrou stretched her neck at the door, but did not wait for Huo Zhengye to come back.
Instead, she saw Huo Miaoyue coming out and pulling her into the house, "Sister Qianrou, come and wash the dishes."
Bai Qianrou became visibly stiff and whispered, "It's getting late, I'm afraid..."
Huo Miaoyue waved her hands, "It won't take much time. If the neighbor won't let you in, I'll go over and smash her house."
Bai Qianrou looked unhappy. Was Huo Miaoyue's brain defective? Couldn't she understand that she was politely refusing?
Huo Miaoyue was simply a little Zhou Babao, ordering her around for three meals a day, and even asking her to do cleaning and washing dishes and other housework. Not only did she not see Brother Huo much these days, but her hands became a lot rougher.
Bai Qianrou was pulled into the house by Huo Miaoyue. She washed the dishes reluctantly and was about to boil water when Grandma Huo suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
Looking at Bai Qianrou in surprise, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Grandma, that bad woman Shu Wan left irresponsibly and left us two without anyone to take care of us. Sister Qianrou couldn't bear to see it, so she came over to help us." Huo Miaoyue said.
Grandma Huo looked unhappy, so it was Bai Qianrou who did the laundry, cooking and housework during the days when she was sick? No wonder her grandson ran away every day and didn't go home to live. If there was a woman wandering around at home, if someone saw her, she couldn't wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Huo Miaoyue was spoiled to the point of being lawless and actually did such a thing.
Grandma Huo said coldly, "I think you are too lazy to do housework and don't want to serve me, an old woman."
"Grandma, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Qianrou."
Huo Miaoyue felt aggrieved and pointed at Bai Qianrou.
Bai Qianrou had been fed up with being ordered around to do housework these days and was looking for a way to get out of it. Now was the right time.
Bai Qianrou winked at Huo Miaoyue, reassuring her, "Sister Shu Wan and I are friends. It is not reasonable for me to turn a blind eye to her not being here."
This is an artistic way of saying it. It does not mention whether it is voluntary or not, but instead indicates that one is forced to do so due to responsibility.
When Grandma Huo heard this, there was nothing she didn't understand. But whether it was voluntary or not, it was a fact that Bai Qianrou had feelings for her grandson, and Grandma Huo didn't dare to let her come and go freely at home.
"I haven't been feeling well these past few days, and my granddaughter-in-law is not at home, so there's no one in charge. I shouldn't have gotten you involved in family matters, so I apologize first. It's my granddaughter who is so willful that I came up with this stupid idea of letting you take care of her."
"I won't bother you anymore. But as a girl, it's not a good idea for you to go in and out of other people's homes before you get married. You should be more careful."
"It's getting late, you should go home quickly."
Bai Qianrou's eyes flashed with resentment. This damn old woman was warning her not to go out and talk nonsense. She worked hard to cook and clean these days, but she was ungrateful. She was not as good as Shu Wan who left?
