At noon, Grandma Wang killed one of her chickens because it wasn't laying many eggs anymore, and keeping it would be a waste, so she killed it to eat.
While Wang Xiumin was making dumplings inside, Xu Xiangyang chatted with Wang Zhongshan.
I've been busy with work lately, and then I got injured. I kept this injury a secret from Wang Zhongshan, so he didn't know.
Wang Xiumin had wanted to say it before, but after going to the hospital and seeing that he was fine, she didn't say it.
After all, the two elderly people are getting on in years, and we don't want them to worry about getting sick again.
Xu Xiangyang didn't mention that he had been hospitalized, and the two of them just chatted about everyday things.
I had just set the table for lunch when people came in from outside.
A man in his thirties led a young man in his twenties over, and their eyes lit up when they saw the food on their table.
"Hey, Grandpa Wang's having dinner?" The older man stared greedily at the chicken stew with hazelnuts on the table, looking like he was about to pounce on it at any moment.
Wang Zhongshan frowned as soon as he saw him and said, "Shanhe Shanqiu is here. What's the matter?"
Seeing that he hadn't invited them to eat together, Song Shanhe pursed his lips and swallowed hard. "Ah, I heard from Fu Bao that you were alright, so I came to check on you."
The two of them stared intently at the food on the table, standing there motionless.
Wang Xiumin sneered and said, "Look? From the time my father had the accident until now, your Song family has come empty-handed? If it weren't for my father, your Fubao would have been seriously injured!"
She was seething with anger. Who would be willing to help someone like that? Look at them, they come back empty-handed after offering help, and they can't take their eyes off other people's food.
You're so shallow, have you never eaten meat at home?
Upon hearing this, Song Shanhe became displeased. "Xiumin, how can you talk like that? We grew up together, after all. It's only right that Grandpa Wang saved Fubao. Who wouldn't have helped if they saw it?"
"That's right! My Fu Bao can't possibly get hurt, why are you being so mean!" Song Shanqiu chimed in, "Our Fu Bao is lucky and won't get into any trouble."
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes and said fiercely, "What? Is it wrong for my dad to go and rescue people? You all better get out of here!"
He's still my own father, not only did he get injured while saving someone, but he didn't even get a good reward. What a piece of trash!
Xu Xiangyang was also displeased and stood up abruptly. "Are you here to visit people? You're not welcome in our home. Get out."
Although this wasn't his home, it was his maternal grandfather's house. Especially since Wang Zhongshan's expression was clearly not good, he couldn't allow anyone to bully people here.
"Where are you from? Oh, you're the Xiangyang that Fu Bao mentioned, right? You work in the city, so what's so great about that?" Song Shanqiu was young, and seeing that Xu Xiangyang was even younger than him, he was even more disdainful.
The main reason is that he is more successful than her and has a formal job, so she is mostly jealous.
"Heh." Xu Xiangyang sneered and said, "I just have a job in the city, that makes me awesome, so what?"
His "I'm the boss, what can you do about it?" attitude infuriated Song Shanqiu.
"You!" Song Shanqiu was speechless, and he wanted nothing more than to go up and hit him!
But he knew that this was someone else's house, and if he did something, he would lose work points again this year.
He got into three fights this year and has already lost almost 100 points. How much does he earn in a year?
"Young Master Song, what are you doing! Trying to hit someone?" Wang Zhongshan shouted coldly.
He was a soldier who had been to the battlefield; his imposing presence alone could terrify these unsophisticated people.
The two brothers trembled with fright, their faces filled with shame, feeling incredibly embarrassed to have been frightened by an old man.
However, Song Shanhe knew that the old man had killed enemies in his younger days. When he showed such a powerful aura, everyone trembled. They couldn't help but feel afraid. If he really got angry, they couldn't afford to offend him.
"Fine, you Wang family are something else. We can forget about being neighbors from now on! We came to visit you out of good intentions, and you even found something wrong with you."
Song Shanhe's eyes darted around, clearly showing his fear, but he still managed to utter those harsh words. Immediately after speaking, he grabbed his younger brother and ran, as if afraid of being chased.
Seeing the two brothers flee in disarray, Xu Xiangyang knew that these two were no good people and would probably cause trouble for his grandfather in the future.
This situation absolutely cannot be allowed to happen, so we must find a way to solve it once and for all.
"Grandpa, what's going on with their family?" Xu Xiangyang asked.
He always felt that the Song family was not very bright, like a bunch of idiots.
That's not quite right; he just doesn't seem very smart.
Wang Zhongshan remained silent, his face clearly showing displeasure; he also had no goodwill towards the Song family.
Grandma Wang, standing to the side, said, "That family is a bunch of fools. They dote on their granddaughter all the time, giving her the best of everything. It's not a bad thing to be nice to someone, but to take everything from a three-year-old, how can they be so shameless as to do that to a teenage girl?"
"Her older brother and sister-in-law all have to listen to her. They have to give her all the good food and fabric. How can anyone do that?"
After hearing Grandma Wang's description, Xu Xiangyang felt something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
But people like that are really annoying. Even if you don't treat family members fairly, you should at least treat them similarly.
Besides one granddaughter, there's another granddaughter. Does that mean everyone else isn't human?
Just because it's called Fu Bao doesn't mean it's a treasure, right? That's really bizarre.
Wang Xiumin sighed and said, "I never thought much of the Song family before, at most they were just a bunch of scoundrels. But ever since Fu Bao was born, they've changed. I don't know if they've been possessed."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Grandma Wang patted her daughter, glanced outside, and said, "You're not allowed to say whatever you want now. Otherwise, the commune will be in chaos."
Although some of her words were meant to scare her daughter, it can't be said that they were all lies.
Wang Xiumin blinked but didn't speak. Everyone knew things were in chaos outside, but that's how times are. They were still at war a decade or so ago, so they were already mentally prepared.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything. After the meal, he asked his family to stay behind, indicating that he was preparing for a meeting.
"What's wrong, Xiangyang? Is there something you want to say?" Wang Zhongshan looked at his solemn expression and wondered if something had happened.
Everyone else looked at him, wondering but not asking.
Xu Xiangyang looked at them and said calmly, "It's indeed gotten chaotic outside, as you should know, so I want everyone to move to the city. There are places to stay there."
He had been thinking about this for a long time. Why was he in such a hurry to earn money to buy a house? It was because he planned to let his family live there.
