"Well, I want to ask Erwang something." Xu Liqin nodded, answering her sister's question. God knows how much effort Xu Liqin used to control herself and not rush into the Xu family hysterically. All the way, Xu Liqin was suspicious that Zhao Guohui's matter must be related to Xu Erwang.
Over the years, Xu Liqin has been devoted to her family. She never imagined that the brother she raised could be so cruel. She wanted to ask Erwang, hadn't she, as the eldest sister, been good enough to him over the years? Why did Erwang want to harm his brother-in-law?
After standing for a while, Xu Liqin felt that her breathing had become more even, and then she stepped into her parents' home.
The room was filled with a strange smell. Xu Liqin held her breath and luckily didn't pass out from the stench.
The door of Xu Erwang's room was wide open. Standing at the door, one could see a pile of dirty clothes and smelly socks scattered on the floor, while Xu Erwang was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt and sleeping soundly.
Carefully bypassing these "obstacles" under her feet, Xu Liqin finally reached Xu Erwang's bed.
Xu Erwang's face while he was sleeping did not have the cynicism he had when he was awake. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and he was still a young and handsome boy.
Xu Liqin raised this little brother single-handedly. After giving birth to Xu Erwang, Xu's mother's health deteriorated significantly, and she was busy with matters at home and outside. When Xu Erwang was two months old, he was left in the care of Xu Liqin, who was only six years old at the time.
Xu Liqin couldn't hold Xu Erwang, so she sat on the edge of the bed to make her brother laugh. She was also responsible for changing his poop and pee, washing his diapers, etc.
That tiny baby back then has grown so big! Xu Liqin was dazed as she looked at Xu Erwang's sleeping face.
"Sister, why don't you wake up this kid?" Xu Lifang saw that Xu Liqin was just looking at Erwang after entering the room and didn't make any other moves, so she couldn't help but walk in.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's so dirty, you little bastard. Who told you to call me an old woman who couldn't get married last time? I haven't cleaned your room for just ten days, and your room is almost as dirty as a pigsty." Xu Liqin muttered to herself while secretly looking at Xu Liqin's face.
After Xu Liqin got married, all the chores of the Xu family fell on Xu Lifang. Xu's mother worked as a sanitation worker and had to get up before dawn every day to sweep the streets.
The work intensity of sanitation workers is very high. Mother Xu is so tired after a day that she can hardly straighten her back when she gets home.
Xu Lifang and Xu Erwang had been quarreling for some time. Xu Lifang accidentally saw her younger brother hanging out with some hooligans in the town, and she went home and said a few words to him. Xu Erwang was not convinced that Xu Lifang cared about him, and the two siblings started to quarrel.
Wu Dani didn't get Xu Erwang's house, so she gave her two sons to Xu's mother. After work, Xu's mother had to take care of her two grandchildren and had no time to clean up for her youngest son. After so many days of accumulation, Xu Erwang's room became a mess.
Xu Lifang couldn't tell anything from Xu Liqin's face. At this time, Xu Liqin was thinking about Zhao Guohui. Xu Lifang complained to her about Xu Erwang in her words and deeds, but Xu Liqin couldn't do anything about it and didn't want to do anything about it.
The Xu family had too much to deal with. Xu Liqin was exhausted from cleaning up after Xu Laolai's affairs every month. Her younger brothers and sisters were all grown up, and each had their own agenda. Xu Liqin was not stupid and did not want to get involved in their affairs anymore.
After all, Xu Liqin is already married, so it is more appropriate for parents to take care of their brother-in-law's affairs, isn't it?
"Lazy pig, get up." Seeing that Xu Liqin ignored her words, Xu Lifang had no choice but to walk to the bed awkwardly and pinch Xu Erwang's nose.
Xu Lifang would never offend her eldest sister. Apart from her eldest sister, she had no one else to rely on in the Xu family.
Xu Erwang did not breathe fresh air while he was sleeping. After holding his breath for a while, he finally woke up.
Xu Erwang opened his eyes and saw Xu Lifang beside the bed. He waved his hand and slapped her. At this moment, he knew with his toes that it was Xu Lifang who disturbed his sweet dream.
Xu Erwang played cards at Ma Shengli's house all night last night and went home to sleep after dawn. He had only slept for a few hours and was not fully awake.
Xu Erwang was a little grumpy when he woke up, and he had been quarreling with his second sister like a black-eyed chicken these days. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take the opportunity to slap Xu Lifang.
Xu Lifang would not stand there stupidly and get beaten. She was prepared. When she saw Xu Erwang raising his hand, Xu Lifang quickly jumped away.
Seeing that his slap had missed, Xu Erwang's face darkened and he cursed, "Xu Lifang, you old woman, are you looking for death?"
"Little brother?" Xu Lifang hadn't said anything when Xu Liqin exclaimed. Xu Erwang had always been shy and well-behaved in front of Xu Liqin, and this was the first time Xu Liqin had seen this side of him.
"Sister? Why are you here?" Xu Erwang was startled, and now he was completely awake. Xu Erwang was woken up from his sleep, and he was still confused. He was busy dealing with the culprit and didn't see Xu Liqin standing by his bed.
"Lazy pig, get up quickly, big sister wants to see you." Xu Lifang came over again at this time. Xu Lifang knew that Xu Erwang had the weirdest temper in the Xu family. In this family, even his parents couldn't control Xu Erwang, but he actually listened to his eldest sister Xu Liqin the most.
"Hmph! Old aunt, just wait for me." Xu Erwang glanced at Xu Lifang, implying that he would deal with Xu Lifang later.
Xu Erwang was considerate of Xu Liqin and did not say anything that would embarrass Xu Lifang.
"Sister, how come you have time to come home today?" Xu Erwang was quickly getting dressed, his mouth busy. It was a rare occasion for his elder sister to come home, so Xu Erwang planned to go to the tofu shop next door to buy some tofu and keep his elder sister home for lunch.
To be honest, in Xu Erwang's heart, his eldest sister Xu Liqin has always been a member of this family. Even if she married that kid Zhao Guohui, she is still the Dagu mother of their Xu family and his, Xu Erwang's dear eldest sister.
Perhaps because Xu Liqin had been with Xu Erwang since he was a child, Xu Erwang had always been very close to her. After Xu Liqin got married, she visited her parents' home less often, and Xu Erwang secretly blamed Zhao Guohui for this.
In Xu Erwang's opinion, the eldest sister Xu Liqin is not only beautiful, but also good at work. If such an eldest sister marries Zhao Guohui, it will be a great blessing for the Zhao family.
In Xu Erwang's eyes, Zhao Guohui's hometown, Zhaojiagou, was a remote, impoverished mountain valley. For a country boy like Zhao Guohui to marry the eldest sister, Xu Liqin, was a stroke of luck. In the eyes of young men like Xu Erwang from Sanhe Town, apart from Sanhe Town and the county, everything else was rural.
