Huang Xiaofu stumbled back a few steps, his face unable to hide his heartbreak. "So, so you've always..."
"Yes, I treat you like an idiot, but I won't treat you like a human being!"
Huang Xiaofu looked Miao Fengying up and down, her face contorted with rage and her mouth full of foul language. She was nowhere to be seen as gentle as before.
"Get out of here, or you'll dirty the ground in front of my door!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Tears welled up in Huang Xiaofu's eyes. He turned his head away, ignoring even Old Lady Wu, and ran off.
Grandma Wu emerged from the shadows, shaking her head and sighing. "This second son isn't very resilient; he can't even handle such a small setback."
Finally, he glanced at the tightly closed gate, took out his shopping bag, and headed towards the market.
As for where Huang Xiaofu can run to?
Of course, it's home.
Huang Mancang was washing clothes with his hands in the water, when a figure flashed by in his peripheral vision, followed by a sudden weight on his back.
"dad......"
"Second brother?"
Just as Huang Mancang was about to straighten up, Huang Xiaofu pressed him down heavily. "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Huang Mancang glanced around, then shrugged awkwardly. "Get up, what kind of mess is this?"
Isn't this character a bit off? Shouldn't it be Grandma Wu who's supposed to be hugging him and crying her eyes out?
Or shouldn't the person Huang Xiaofu hugged and cried so hard also be Grandma Wu?
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Pandi leaned against the doorframe, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "Oh, Huang Mancang, what kind of grievances did your second son suffer outside that he's crying like this while hugging you?"
Huang Mancang blushed, nudged Huang Xiaofu aside with his elbow, dipped his hand in the water and swung it left and right, then picked up Huang Xiaofu and headed home.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Huang Mancang did not open his eyes to look at Zhou Pandi even once.
As soon as the Huang family's gate closed, Zhou Pandi's face darkened, and she frantically tugged at the barbs on the edge of the door.
"What? Haven't you had enough of the police station yet? If you really like Huang Mancang that much, I might be willing to grant your wish."
Hao Ren's voice made Zhou Pandi, who had been leaning to one side, shudder and straighten up. "I didn't. Didn't I already tell you? I can't stand Wu Mingxia. What does he have to do with Huang Mancang?"
Hao Ren peeled a clove of garlic, popped it into his mouth, and sneered, "Is that so? If you have no interest in Huang Mancang, then why do you always pick on his wife? What has she done to you? I think she's the one who's getting in your way by flirting with Huang Mancang."
Zhou Pan was angry, but after a moment's thought, she inexplicably felt that Hao Ren's words actually made some sense.
"Open the door! Huang Mancang!"
A familiar voice came from the courtyard. Just as Zhou Pandi was about to move, Hao Ren's eyes were fixed on her, as if her movement would prove his words true.
Grandma Wu pushed the door once, but it wouldn't open. She tried again, and the door was pulled open from the inside.
Huang Mancang wiped his forehead, panting as he met Old Lady Wu's puzzled gaze.
Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?
Huang Mancang pointed behind him, and when Old Lady Wu peeked out, her lips twitched involuntarily. How could he be so spineless?
She broke up with her boyfriend and cried like she was gone.
No, that's not right. She's gone, so his crying wasn't this intense.
"Mom, hiccup... I was so blind."
Huang Xiaofu cried and pounded the ground, looking just like a fifty-year-old woman who had lost an argument.
Even after Huang Xiaoguo and Huang Xiaomin returned, Huang Xiaofu still had a bitter look on his face.
As soon as Huang Xiaoqiang entered the room, he glanced at his second brother's appearance, not surprised at all. He squeezed past Huang Mancang and approached Old Lady Wu, saying, "Mom, I've asked my classmates and even those who have graduated."
Grandma Wu casually handed the vegetables to Huang Mancang, signaling Huang Xiaoqiang to continue.
Huang Xiaoqiang pulled Wu Laotai to sit down, past Huang Xiaofu.
“Mom, it’s not that I can’t endure hardship. I heard from the letters sent back by people who went to the countryside that you need to do farm work to earn work points, otherwise there will be no food. Also, you have to live with a lot of men and women. There are many people and many things to do.”
“That’s normal. In the city, you don’t work, so you earn money to buy food.” Old Mrs. Wu glanced at him and continued, “At home, don’t you live with your brothers? Haven’t you had your share of trouble?”
Huang Xiaoqiang had already imagined going to the countryside as a living hell, so he was stunned when he heard what Old Lady Wu said.
That sounds plausible, and it makes sense.
Huang Xiaoqiang was about to say something when he was startled by Huang Xiaofu's wail.
"Do you even consider me family? I've been abandoned!"
"You broke up with that woman? That's great!" Huang Xiaoguo's tone rose, showing no sign of sadness for him.
Huang Xiaomin scoffed speechlessly, "Abandoned? Were you even with her? You just lip it off and say you were abandoned."
Huang Xiaofu was so angry his mouth gaped open like a pufferfish's. "You, you've gone too far!"
Grandma Wu pretended to scold them, then turned to Huang Xiaofu with a smile and said, "Since you're so reluctant to let go, why don't you go after her again and see if you can win Miao Fengying back?"
Huang Xiaofu was taken aback, but his mouth moved faster than his brain, "No."
After several such experiences, he finally understood that he couldn't give Miao Fengying what she wanted. From beginning to end, she had only treated him as a tool. Now that a better tool had appeared, he was naturally no longer useful.
She might not necessarily like Qiao Zhenjun, but he was simply richer and more valuable than her.
Huang Xiaofu saw Miao Fengying's foul mouth and disgusted look in her eyes, and it seemed that her previous beauty had faded a lot.
Looking closely, she's pretty much the same as other girls.
She just speaks a little softer, has a little more black hair, and a little fairer skin.
Her eyes weren't big, her mouth was thin, and her face was square.
Seeing that he was stunned, Old Mrs. Wu looked away and continued talking to Huang Xiaoqiang.
When she came to her senses and heard what they were saying, she was both surprised and stunned. "Mom, you're quitting? You're going to go to the countryside with the fourth son?!"
Judging from the conversation, they've been there for quite a while.
Grandma Wu nodded calmly, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"But you have an urban household registration. If you want to stay in the countryside for a long time, a letter of introduction alone won't suffice. Besides, what will we do if you leave?"
"Then you come with me."
ah?
Huang Xiaofu stared wide-eyed at the crowd, then looked around in disbelief. He realized that everyone else seemed unfazed; it was something that everyone else knew about except for him.
"Are you also going to the countryside with us?"
Huang Xiaoguo and Huang Xiaomin exchanged a glance but remained silent.
To be honest, they didn't want to, but a voice in their hearts told them to follow along.
Seeing that they were silent, Huang Xiaofu knew that they were also hesitant.
"Dad, what about you?"
Upon hearing his own name, Huang Mancang's eyes darted around. "I'll listen to your older brother. I'll go with him."
