"Look at your dad, he doesn't even have a child yet and he already doesn't care about you. He lies to you and hasn't even asked about you since he left. If he gets a stepmother, you'll have no place in the family," Xingping's ex-wife provoked.
Li Hang lowered his head, saying, "My dad said he doesn't want me anymore."
Xingping's ex-wife... gave her son a hard shove on the head. "Your dad was just saying that out of anger. He raised you all these years, how could he abandon you? Here's what you'll do: go back and try to appease your dad. He's the softest-hearted man. I'll teach you..."
Xingping's ex-wife lectured her son again, saying that if harsh methods didn't work, she had to use gentle ones, and she absolutely couldn't let Li Xingping find someone else.
It was already midnight when Li Hang returned to the farm.
Xing Song was half asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door. He glanced at the security camera and saw it was Li Hang. He got up and opened the door for him.
"Where have you been, kid? Why are you so late?" Xingsong asked, yawning.
Li Hang remembered what his mother had said: when his third aunt called, she scolded his mother and lied to him. When he saw Xing Song, he didn't say anything and went straight back to his room.
Xing Song... is he a ghost? Such a big person standing at the door talking to him, and he just pretends not to hear?
Never mind, I'll go back to my room and continue sleeping.
"Who is it?" Xingsong's wife asked. Her parents-in-law had gone back to the city, and the farm couldn't be left unattended, so she brought her child and Xingsong to stay at the farm.
"Li Hang, I asked him a question, and he ignored me like I was farting." Xing Song crawled back into bed.
"That's what his mother taught him. He's so eager to please, you can't just do business with him. You have to not open the door for him and make him stand there," Xingsong's wife said irritably.
"Where did my dad go?" Li Hang's voice came from outside as the couple were talking. He went back into the house and found that Xingping was not there.
Xingsong's wife pinched Xingsong and whispered, "Don't pay attention to him. Even his father doesn't care about him, so why should we bother with him?"
Xingsong pulled his wife's hand away. "Your dad went to live in the city."
He's such a grown man, yet he acts like a child; it's laughable.
Li Hang didn't say anything and went back into the room.
Xingsong's wife said, "Look, he can't even say a word. Why are you paying attention to him?"
"It's beneath you to argue with a child," Xingsong said, pulling the blanket tighter around himself and continuing to sleep.
"Hey, Young Master Bai took Lao Si to Africa, why don't you go too?" Xing Song's wife nudged Xing Song. When they came back, Xing Ping told him what Young Master Bai had told him: the study group was in the city, and Xing Ping had been staying in the city recently and wouldn't be coming back.
Xing Song: "What would I go there for? My wife hasn't run away."
"Go make money, what are you going to do? Do you have to have your wife run away before you can go? You have a good relationship with Young Master Bai, if you want to go, he should be able to let you go." His wife pried open Xing Song's eyes, not letting him sleep.
"Young Master Bai is easy to talk to, but you'll have to learn English when you get there. Do I look like I know English? Don't look at him like that, it's making my ass itch." Xing Song said irritably.
Xingsong's wife: "If the fourth son can learn it, why can't you?"
Xingsong: "You're capable. Go ahead and learn. I'll enroll you in a class tomorrow."
Xingsong's wife... "If I had those skills, why would I be looking for you?"
"If I had those skills, would I be looking for you?" Xingsong retorted. "Fourth brother's been traumatized; he's got his head on the ground wanting to learn. Or you could also become a womanizer and run away, and I'd learn too."
