Fu Hongguo read until after 6 a.m. last night, made breakfast for his sister and niece, and then went to bed.
He had planned to sleep until dark, but he was woken up by the knocking on the door.
It was a bit strange that they didn't know who had come to their house. You see, there were four people in their family, and almost all of them were night owls. Apart from studying and doing homework, all they did was eat and sleep.
Actually, it's easier to concentrate on reading when you get up in the morning.
But at night, while I was reading, it got light before I knew it!
When it got light, they were tired and naturally lay down to sleep.
They slept during the day, but the novelty made it even harder to sleep at night, creating a vicious cycle. It really wasn't their fault!
Because he hadn't slept well, his face looked a bit sour when he opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his elder brother and sister-in-law standing there. Fu Hongguo's originally sour face immediately showed a hint of surprise.
Just as he was about to open his mouth wide and shout "Big Brother!", everything went black before his eyes, and a dark figure pounced on him.
Fu Hongguo's muscles tensed instantly, and he subconsciously raised his arm and threw a straight punch.
Then, the dark figure was sent flying by a single punch, a turn of events that stunned everyone.
"...Zihua?"
When Xiuhua saw her husband being beaten to the ground by her second brother, she immediately threw her package on the ground and pounced on Zhong Zihua.
But then Zhong Zihua rolled his eyes and fainted.
In an instant, several people hurriedly carried the person inside.
After settling Zhong Zihua in, Xiuhua gave him a thorough check-up. Seeing that Zhong Zihua was mostly unharmed, just knocked unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second...Second Sister!?"
Upon hearing his elder brother's introduction, Fu Hongguo was shocked to learn that the person he had punched away was actually his second brother-in-law!
Looking at Zhong Zihua lying on the bed with a black eye, she secretly thought to herself, "This is quite a big gift for meeting you."
"Alright, Xiuhua, Xueqi is tired too. Help Xueqi to wash up."
"Red Country, what time is it? Why do you look like you're going to steal at night?"
Seeing Fu Hongguo's unsteady steps, Fu Hongxing reprimanded him with a stern face.
Fu Hongguo immediately shrank back and made a gesture of begging for mercy towards Ning Jing.
Seeing his sister-in-law give him a wink towards the kitchen, he immediately understood.
He said loudly, "Big brother is right, sister-in-law, second sister, you should go and wash up quickly. You must be exhausted from the journey. I'll go and boil water and cook for you."
After saying that, he quickly slipped out of the house.
Seeing this, Xiuhua exclaimed with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "This child is already so big!"
When she left, Hong Guo was just a child!
Thinking of this, a look of guilt flashed across Xiuhua's face.
Ning Jing stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
"Alright, here you go. Go wash up and get ready. When you come out, enjoy the food your brother made."
At this point, Ning Jing winked at her, then dragged Fu Hongxing back to their room.
After Xiuhua helped Xueqi wash up, she was about to wipe herself when she heard Zhong Zihua hum, then sit up, clutching his head.
He looked around blankly, and seeing his wife and children beside him, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Xiuhua, what's wrong with me?"
Fu Xiuhua coughed lightly, then asked softly, "Why did you lunge at me like that just now?"
"Huh? I think my sister-in-law knocked on the wrong door. The person who came out looked fierce. I was worried that my sister-in-law would get hurt. My brother was holding Xueqi in his arms!"
So I wanted to stand in front of him and explain things properly.
P.S.: Regarding the Xiuhua profession, for reasons everyone knows, I've kept it vague and won't explain it further! Hope everyone understands!
