Chen Yuexia rolled her eyes at Huo Yuanshan, annoyed. "What happened? What happened? You're like a stray dog, being chased back to the countryside. Your good daughter-in-law is handing out gifts all over the yard!"
They were giving out candy and sponge cakes; it was quite a lively affair.
Huo Yuanshan was already used to Chen Yuexia's gentle and considerate manner in front of him, so he couldn't stand her talking to him like that.
His face immediately darkened. "Chen Yuexia, watch your attitude!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yuexia's anger flared up upon hearing Huo Yuanshan's words.
She immediately threw what she was holding on the ground. "Huo Yuanshan, stop pretending in front of me. Do you think you're still the same cement factory manager who used to make us Chen family members depend on you for everything?"
"Let me tell you, you're nothing but a piece of trash! Not only are you nothing, but I spent a fortune getting you out of jail. If you can't talk to me properly, I'm divorcing you!"
"You..." Huo Yuanshan couldn't keep up with how quickly Chen Yuexia's expression changed.
Before he could even utter a word, he was so angry that his heart ached and he couldn't speak.
He plopped back into his chair, clutching his heart, his face instantly turning pale.
"Hmph!" Chen Yuexia turned around and continued packing her things, not bothering to pay him any attention.
Their two sons, Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing, noticed something was wrong with him and rushed to his side, crying, "Dad, Dad..."
"Medicine, medicine..." Huo Yuanshan uttered with difficulty.
Huo Nanfeng quickly took out a medicine bottle from his shirt pocket, poured out a pill and fed it to him, and he gradually recovered.
After he recovered, Chen Yuexia glared at him and scolded her two sons, "Nanfeng, Nanjing, why do you care about him? It's good that he's dead. We can take his body to Huo Beixiao and ask him for some money."
Huo Yuanshan's heart, which had just recovered, was ached again by Chen Yuexia's words.
He pointed at Chen Yuexia, so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment, and he couldn't believe it.
It was as if he were meeting this woman, with whom he had shared a bed for nearly twenty years, for the first time.
For the past twenty years, this woman has been gentle and considerate, always going along with his wishes, both in and out of bed, and taking perfect care of him.
The way she looked at him was always filled with adoration, which greatly satisfied his masculine pride.
So back then...
But he never expected that this woman...
Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Chen Yuexia's words.
After a moment of silence, Huo Nanfeng couldn't help but speak up, "Mom, please don't say that about Dad. Dad is already feeling very bad about what my older brother is going through."
"Pah! He's in pain? What a load of crap!" Chen Yuexia spat directly, showing no respect for Huo Yuanshan, and said, "His eldest son is doing well now, he's too proud to even think about it! I told him before not to let that bastard Huo Beixiao buy the cement factory, and to find a way to make that bastard spit out the money."
He said it was better to sell the factory to his own people than to outsiders, and not only did he not make that bastard take out the money, he also gave that bastard a sum of money.
Now look what's happened! Not only have they not given you a single penny, but they've also sent you to jail and forced you to cut ties with them. You're nothing but a fart!
Listening to Chen Yuexia's string of vulgar and offensive words, Huo Yuanshan realized that Chen Yuexia had been putting on an act in front of him for nearly twenty years.
He didn't want to argue with Chen Yuexia anymore, so he just waved wearily and slowly walked into the room.
As Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing watched Huo Yuanshan's retreating figure, they couldn't help but call out, "Dad!"
Huo Yuanshan waved to them, and they looked at Chen Yuexia again, "Mom..."
Chen Yuexia said irritably, "Don't call me Mom. Your surname is Huo, not Chen. With this energy, you should go find that bastard and see if he can give you a penny. Otherwise, you can all quit your studies and get out and find jobs!"
Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads, not daring to speak again.
As Jiang Qiaoqiao passed by the courtyard where Huo Yuanshan's family lived, she felt as if a pair of eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were staring at her.
She knew that the person was Chen Yuexia, but she didn't care much.
Seeing that Huo Yuanshan's courtyard was piled high with things, as if he was about to move, she looked at Huo Beixiao with some confusion.
Huo Beixiao's expression was somewhat cold, but his voice was gentle as he explained to her, "These houses are all employee housing for the cement factory. Even if he used to be the factory director, he only had the right to use these houses, not ownership."
Now that he's no longer an employee of the cement factory, he naturally can no longer live in the cement factory's housing.
Jiang Qiaoqiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing carried things out of the house and placed them in the yard.
The four people looked at each other, and the awkwardness on Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing's faces was clearly visible.
Huo Beixiao's gaze remained quietly fixed on the two of them.
Finally, Huo Nanfeng spoke first: "Big brother, sister-in-law."
Huo Nanjin also greeted them.
Jiang Qiaoqiao nodded to Huo Beixiao and the other two.
She only knew that Chen Yuexia and Huo Yuanshan had two sons, but she had never met them before. This was the first time she had met Huo Nanfeng and Huo Nanjing.
The two are twins, and they should be seventeen years old this year. They are also handsome and refined.
With high noses, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a well-defined jawline, both of them resembled Huo Yuanshan, just like Huo Beixiao.
It has to be said that Huo Yuanshan has really good genes.
Huo Beixiao didn't speak to the two of them, but simply nodded and left with Jiang Qiaoqiao.
On the way, seeing Huo Beixiao's somber expression, Jiang Qiaoqiao deliberately yawned and teased him, "I'm so tired, Brother Xiao, my legs hurt, can you carry me..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao had just opened her arms and hadn't even finished speaking when her body was already suspended in mid-air.
Huo Beixiao picked her up horizontally and strode into the house, simultaneously hooking his heel to close the door.
Even as Jiang Qiaoqiao was being gnawed at by the scoundrel, she was still wondering what had gotten into her that she had to sacrifice herself to distract the man.

On the other side, a black sedan drove into the food factory's residential compound and stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate.
In Yunxian, a small county town, you could count the number of cars on two hands, and the people at the food factory already recognized Huo Beixiao's car.
Now, a new car has been parked in front of the Jiang family's house. Although the people in the yard haven't gathered around, they are all looking at it from a distance.
"Besides Factory Director Huo, does the Jiang family have any other relatives who drive cars?"
"His second son is a battalion commander in the army, so he should be qualified to drive, right?"
“The license plates on the military vehicles are different. That vehicle is obviously not a military vehicle. It couldn’t possibly belong to their second son.”
"Could it be that their eldest son is back?"
"That's really strange. They haven't come back since they went to university, have they?"
"That's right..."
