This was something Zheng Weidong brought to Jin Xi from the town specially, but her son was different from other children. He had no interest in the candy at all. He told her to leave it for Fubao, so she brought it over anyway.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Fubao didn't hesitate and took it. He ignored Huo Jinxi from beginning to end and didn't even look at him. He took the candy and ran back to the kitchen to drink the sweet potato soup.
Huo Jinxi, "..."
Why did Fubao ignore him? What did he do wrong?
He deliberately hurt himself, and he really wanted to use a self-torture tactic. However, he failed to win her sympathy, so how could he ask to stay at her house later?
After Mrs. Shen had treated his wound, Huo Jinxi turned to look at Jiang Meilan. His eyes were sincere and expectant, as if he was waiting for her to say something.
Jiang Meilan naturally understood what Huo Jinxi wanted her to say, but she felt really bad about it.
She was not as shameless as her son. She hesitated for several seconds before speaking, "Old lady, our house collapsed. We...well, we really didn't want to disturb you, but this child insisted on coming over. I don't know why, but he is so close to your family."
Old Mrs. Shen smiled with her lips but not her eyes. Why? Is there any need to explain it?
Of course he was planning to hit on her daughter. All men are the same!
Just like when they were young, the feelings between men and women could not be purer, and they all called each other comrades. But after Old Man Shen met her once, he began to target her, and tried his best to find opportunities to talk to her every day, calling her a female comrade, saying that he wanted to establish some kind of revolutionary friendship with her. He usually took good care of her and bombarded her with sugar-coated bullets every day.
Not long after, she got together with him and got married!
In this way, Old Man Shen married a beautiful wife and showed off to everyone he met. Old Mrs. Shen was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't care.
Old Madam Shen felt that men were just smooth talkers who told lies all the time, especially Huo Jinxi, who was already eyeing Fubao at such a young age. What would happen when he grew up?
But they just said that their house collapsed. The mother and son would not come to their house unless it was absolutely necessary, and they probably had nowhere to go now.
Now that they have come to the Shen family, they can't just leave it alone. They can't just kick the mother and son out, right?
What's more, he is my savior. Now that he asks me for help, how can I not help him?
Mrs. Shen nodded without thinking too much, "Well, since the adults and children in the family are working or going to school, there is a vacant room, so you two can stay here temporarily. Just sleep in Fubao's parents' room, I'll go clean up for you now."
Jiang Meilan didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would agree so readily. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and kept expressing her gratitude.
After the old lady entered the house, Jiang Meilan bent down and said to Huo Jinxi in a low voice, "Son, is Mom doing well?"
Only she herself knew how difficult it was to say such shameless words. After all, her house was fine and had not collapsed.
This is cheating and so dishonest.
Huo Jinxi nodded with a mature look on his face, "Yeah, not bad."
Jiang Meilan smiled and said, "Son, I've lost all my dignity to help you. You better do your best, I'm waiting for Fubao to be my daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Meilan was extremely looking forward to the thought that such a delicate and soft girl would become her wife in the future.
