Hey, he's even angry.
Huang Xiaomin gave Huang Xiaoguo a look and told him to go outside and talk.
"What's going on today? Did someone really cause trouble at your factory?"
It makes me angry just thinking about it. "How could it be fake? I was doing a good job when the doorman came in and specifically asked for my name."
“As soon as I went out, I saw those same thugs from last time. The first thing they did was ask me for money, saying that my dad owed someone money and that if he didn’t pay it back, they would expose him and report him!”
Huang Xiaomin's eyes widened. "So you gave it to me?"
"If they gave it to me, how could I not? There are so many eyes watching inside and outside the factory. If I don't keep making a fuss about it outside, how can I stay in the factory?"
Huang Xiaomin asked with a bitter face, "So how much did you give?"
"I didn't have any on me, so I borrowed it from a coworker. It cost ten yuan."
"Ten yuan?!" Huang Xiaomin grabbed him. "That's half a month's salary! Our living expenses will be ten yuan less this month. How will this whole family survive on what's left?"
He didn't say the rest. The coworker who lent him half a month's salary probably wasn't very shrewd.
Huang Xiaofu scratched his head. "What could I do? There were so many people there, and they were saying all sorts of nasty things. If I didn't get rid of them quickly..."
He still feels very frustrated now; losing half a month's salary has left him feeling terrible.
But the situation at the time did not allow him to get entangled with that group of people. Now that I think about it, it's all Huang Mancang's fault. If it weren't for him, would we have lost ten yuan for nothing?
Hearing this, Li Jin'e felt a pang of heartache; they would go hungry again. Suddenly, an idea struck her as she looked at the two brothers in front of her. "Why don't we send Dad to the countryside to find Mom..."
Huang Xiaomin's eyes lit up. "How do we deliver it? If Dad weren't a three-year-old, would he not know?"
Li Jin'e waved to them, and the group huddled together head to head. Huang Mancang, peering out the window, vaguely heard something about sending someone away or leaving.
Where are you going?
Huang Mancang frowned and rolled his eyes upwards. Could it be a gift for him?
Realizing the problem, anger flared up. Just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly stopped. No!
If they fall out now, and they gang up on each other, he won't be able to control them.
No, I can't stay here.
Seeing them disperse, Huang Mancang burrowed into the quilt and pretended to be angry.
As soon as Huang Xiaoguo pushed open the door, he saw Huang Mancang, who was still angry. He put on a smile and went over to him, saying, "Dad, I was wrong just now. My tone was bad. I apologize to you."
"I'll have Huijun cook you a nice meal tonight as an apology, and then we can have a few drinks, just the two of us, how about that?"
Huang Mancang's eyes darted around, and he curled his lip. He had been baring his teeth and glaring angrily just now, but now he had this expression. It seemed that his guess was correct.
They really want to send me away, these unfilial sons!
Want to get rid of him? No way!
He's living such a comfortable life, why would he want to go to the countryside and be that woman's grandson? He'd never go!
It took the two brothers a lot of persuasion to finally get Huang Mancang out of bed.
That evening, Li Jin'e borrowed five eggs and a pig's head from her parents' home and cooked them to go with their drinks.
Wang Huijun also returned home. Amidst the cold stares and ridicule of her younger siblings, Wang Wenzheng gave his sister two jin of loose liquor.
That's a lot.
Seeing her younger brother's hesitation, Wang Huijun said a few words and then turned and went home.
Qiao Daya sat in the house with a cloth wrapped around her head. She casually tossed the child in her arms aside, just as Wang Wenzheng returned to the house and saw her. He immediately picked her up with concern, saying, "What are you doing? The child is still so small, how can he withstand such a fall?"
"I don't care! It's good that she fell to her death!"
Wang Wenzheng looked at her in disbelief. Realizing she had misspoke, Qiao Daya immediately turned the conversation to Wang Huijun.
"Your sister is here to freeload again? What a good sister of yours! Other daughters take things from their husbands' homes to bring back to their parents' homes, but she's the opposite, coming back to her parents' homes every few days to freeload."
The Queen Mother's voice rang out from the outer room, "It's just two catties of wine, Wenzheng gave it to you, why are you making such a fuss!"
Qiao Daya slapped Wang Wenzheng angrily, signaling him to speak, but Wang Wenzheng acted as if he didn't hear her, happily rocking his daughter back and forth.
What a good boy.
Seeing this, Qiao Daya twisted him in anger, but he didn't react. Thinking of the Queen Mother's face outside, her anger rose rapidly. But in the end, she didn't say anything.
After giving birth to this money-losing baby, she was so upset that she couldn't eat anything and spilled millet porridge on the ground, causing her mother, who came in to help her during her postpartum period, to break her leg.
When Wang Wenzheng found out, he didn't say anything on the surface, but he no longer obeyed her in everything as before.
Wang Huijun, unaware of the lawsuit involving the Wang family, returned to the Huang family and handed the wine in her hand to Li Jin'e before going back to her room.
Li Jin'e deliberately divided the wine into two portions: one laced with sleeping pills and the other was fine.
These sleeping pills were specially prescribed by her mother at the hospital.
Now it's finally come in handy.
Li Jin'e poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Huang Mancang. "Dad, we were wrong today."
Huang Mancang snorted. Try to get him drunk? Hmph, wishful thinking.
"It's alright, parents can forgive and forgive."
A pang of guilt flashed through Huang Xiaoguo's heart, but when he thought of what had happened at the factory that day, the remaining guilt vanished in an instant.
Huang Mancang had just put the wine glass to his lips when he caught a glimpse of Li Jin'e staring intently at him. His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to the wine glass in his hand.
Li Jin'e gave a dry laugh, "Dad, why aren't you drinking? Big brother and Xiaomin both drank."
Huang Mancang put down the wine he was about to drink, shook his head and sighed, "I still have something to say."
"What are you talking about? We can talk after we finish drinking."
"Um?"
Li Jin'e gave an awkward smile. "No, it's nothing, Dad. What did you want to say?"
Huang Mancang withdrew his gaze, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and sighed slowly, "Actually, I have reflected on my actions today. I was wrong, and I should apologize to you two brothers."
This incredible move shocked the Huang brothers, Xiaoguo and Xiaomin. What was wrong with their father?
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Huang Mancang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing. I just felt like saying it. When your mother was at home, we had a big meat dish every three days and a small meat dish every two days. Now we eat dry bread and flatbread every day. It's my fault."
After saying that, he picked up the wine jug from Li Jin'e's hand and started gulping it down.
Huang Xiaomin glanced at Li Jin'e subconsciously; he also knew about the sleeping pills.
Drinking a cup or two is fine, but if you drink a whole pot, it could cause serious problems.
He quickly got up and pulled the wine pot from Huang Mancang's hand, only to see him slumped on the table, dizzy and disoriented.
Li Jin'e stood there, mouth agape, and slowly lowered her eyes to look at the wine pot in Huang Mancang's hand and the wine pot in the middle of the table. A question mark slowly appeared above her head.
