He also found these people annoying and nosy. But they were about to report him to the police, and if he didn't come out, he would have to go to the police station and report it.
"Everyone, don't get excited. The reason we were able to get in was naturally because of the key my son gave us. You can see that the door is intact, so you know we didn't force our way in."
"Secondly, after he dropped us off at the train station, he told us that if we weren't busy in the fields, he'd still like us to help take care of the children. Halfway through our journey, we decided we had to come back. Our son is so busy, and as parents, we need to let him rest assured about things at home."
"So, we took the key and came back."
The expressions of the neighbors in the compound are hard to describe. This old man doesn't think that they don't know what happened back then, right?
If Hu Yingying were really handed over to them to raise, I'm afraid she would immediately turn from a chubby little girl into a skinny skeleton, right?
"As for Yingying, you don't have to worry about her. Aunt Yin has been taking care of her since she was a child, so she's quite familiar with her. Why don't you go back early?"
"Yeah, we didn't hear Xiao Hu say you were going to live here. Did you sneak back here?"
"He clearly didn't want you to live here, nor did he want you to have contact with Yingying. Why would he suddenly give you the key?"
"Although he is not here, we have to help him guard the house."
Father Hu suddenly started cursing, "What do you mean? What's wrong with me living in my own son's house? Do you think I, as his father, have no right to live in his house?"
"How vicious you are! Do you think your parents are gone? How dare you say such things?"
"My son gave us the key before he sent us to the train station. How could I lie to you?" Father Hu held up the key fearlessly for them to see clearly. Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, he immediately used the key to open the door to prove that the key was real.
"But, you said you came here to help Xiao Hu take care of Yingying, but how could you just destroy their things?"
"I remember that the clothes you're wearing are the work clothes issued by Xiao Hu's company, and they're new this year. Why are you wearing them?"
"What the others are wearing are all from the Hu family, right?"
Some even took a look inside the house and saw that the cabinets and tables were in a mess, even messier than if a thief had broken in.
"Are you here to help or to cause trouble? Look at how you've ruined his house. I think you should leave early. It's not easy for him to make a living in the city alone. As his parents, don't you feel sorry for him?"
Mother Hu came out of the house and saw these people constantly looking around. She immediately closed the door and said, "What are you looking at? How could a neighbor do what you did? My son is filial and let us live here. What does it have to do with you?"
"I think you have bad intentions. Which neighbor in the compound is more nosy than you? Do you think you can control my son?"
"You city people just look down on us country people. Don't forget that the rice and vegetables in the city are all grown by us country people. If it weren't for us, you would have starved to death long ago."
"Why are you looking at me like that? If you still don't believe me, just call my son and let him confront me face to face. I'm too old to lie." Hu's mother naturally knew that Hu Jie had driven out. They had been secretly observing for so many days, so why would she be afraid that they would really send someone over?
After lunch, Hu Yingying ran out to bask in the sun and saw a lot of people gathered around her house, so she struggled to squeeze her small body in to see what was going on.
But as soon as she saw that Mr. Hu was wearing her father's clothes, she burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu... This is my father's clothes, you are not allowed to wear it." She pulled on Hu's father's short sleeve and tried to pull it off forcefully.
Her father had only worn this dress once. When he took it off, the father and daughter washed it together. At that time, her father said that she was very, very capable and took good care of the clothes.
However, now that it was worn by this stinky grandpa, she couldn't accept it all of a sudden.
Hu's father suddenly felt embarrassed and pushed the man away. "What do you know, kid? Your dad told me to wear this. I'm your grandfather. What did your dad teach you? Don't you know how to respect the elderly?"
Hu Yingying was pushed to a squatting position, kicking her legs while sitting on the ground. "You are a bad guy. My father would never give you this clothes. You are a thief. Give my father back his clothes."
Hu's father was displeased and pointed at her, a child, and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up."
"Oh my, you just said you were helping Xiao Hu take care of the child, but you wanted to hit the child before you even took care of him for a moment. I think you were just lying. Xiao Hu loves Yingying so much, why would he let you take care of the child?"
"That's right. I can tell from the first glance that you're not kind elders. You even want to beat up a well-behaved and sensible child like Yingying. Are you Hu Jie's biological parents?"
"Now that you mention it, I really don't think they look alike. Xiao Hu is such a good person. He never says or does anything inappropriate. He's nothing like you guys at all."
"How about we report it to the police? Or maybe one of your family works in the same factory as Hu Jie and see if we can contact him so we can confirm it?"
"There's no need to confirm this. Hu Jie was here a few days ago, and they all moved in. It's not possible that Little Hu couldn't even recognize his own parents, right?"
"I have a bold guess. What do you think? Could Xiao Hu be an adopted child? Don't they have those stories in operas where a child who isn't their biological child becomes successful, and the whole family comes to benefit from it?"
The neighbors were shocked. Although they didn't remember this drama, wasn't this guess too bold?
Everyone looked at them with even more suspicion, and some even felt sympathy for Hu Jie.
"If that's true, Xiao Hu must have suffered a lot since he was a child, right?"
"Now that you speculate, it seems reasonable to me. How could parents be so cruel as to almost kill their son's only child?"
"Even someone as good as Xiao Hu doesn't like them, so you can imagine how much they did to him."
"Yeah, how could biological parents treat their child so badly? I think you're right. Xiao Hu is most likely not their child."
"Do you think they stole Hu Jie instead of picking him up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors' eyes changed, as if Mr. and Mrs. Hu were human traffickers, the kind of arrogant human traffickers who would specifically go to the hospital to steal children.
The neighbor closest to Hu Yingying held her in his arms with a vigilant look on his face, fearing that they would snatch the child away and sell her. He was extremely cautious.
Hu's father and mother were so angry at these words that their faces turned ashen and they looked like they were about to faint. They felt that these people in the compound were all mentally ill.
If they are so good at guessing, why don’t they go and perform themselves?
