Chapter 238: Just Flattering (Page 1/2)
As soon as Yang Huiling got on Huo Junlin's bicycle, she began to complain non-stop, "What did your dad mean by that? He actually chased us away. He was afraid that I would stay for dinner."
Huo Junlin pedaled the bicycle hard without saying a word. If it weren't for his wife's nonsense, they wouldn't have been kicked out by their father. Now they had lost both face and dignity.
Seeing Huo Junlin remained silent, Yang Huiling became even angrier, "Your father is such an old fool. Not only did he leave the old house to Huo Qingci, he even asked them to move in with him.
I just smelled them cooking meat tonight. Your dad is so partial to him, not only did he give him the house, he also gave him living expenses so that they can have delicious food and fish every day."
Huo Junlin's head was buzzing from Yang Huiling's nagging. Unable to bear it any longer, he retorted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Huo Qingci is an attending physician, and his salary is not low. He can easily support his wife and children. How could they possibly let the old man pay for their living expenses?"
"Where did your father's monthly pension of more than 200 yuan go?"
"Of course I saved it."
"I think all the money was spent on Huo Qingci's family. Look at that boy Huo Yining, all that fat on his body is made up of money.
Look at his clothes; the fabric is obviously not cheap. A child this young has tons of toys at home, and he also has endless snacks and fruits every day. None of them are free.”
"My brother and sister-in-law love their grandson, Qingci and his wife also love their children. What's wrong with Ningning and Anan eating better and wearing better clothes?"
If he had a grandson, he would be willing to spend money on him. Huo Qingci has been liked by the old man since he was a child.
Even his wife and children were liked by the old man, what could he do? Before Huo Qing resigned and went to the island and didn't come back, he also asked Wen Jing to come and accompany his grandfather, but the boy refused.
He said he didn't want to live with an elderly person. He would have to help his grandfather wash clothes, get him meals, and listen to his nagging every day. He definitely didn't want to do that.
"Huo Junlin, you only know how to flatter your brother and sister-in-law. Your father is partial to them and only cares about them when there is something good going on.
If he had come forward and said a few words, maybe our Jing'er would have come out earlier. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come to the birthday party that day and wasted my twenty dollars. "
Huo Junlin was really tired at this moment. If possible, he really wanted to stop and knock on his wife's head a few times to wake her up.
"Good intentions don't always go unrewarded. You should thank my eldest nephew. If he hadn't discovered it in time, our Jing'er and Su Yingzi would have really gotten married, and it might have been locked up for life.
"You've made such a fuss today that Dad is upset, and my nephew must be upset too. Just wait and see if they'll be willing to help you when you ask them for help."
“…”
The two of them argued back and forth all the way. Huo Li didn't know and neither did Huo Qingci. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
Lin Man brought the food to the table, and Huo Qingci also came back with the child and Liao Sijie.
While eating, Huo Qingci said to Lin Man, "My fourth uncle and fourth aunt just came."
"Now that they're here, why don't they stay and have dinner before leaving?"
Huo Li replied: "I let them go, don't worry about them."
Without having to think about it, Lin Man knew that Fourth Uncle and the others came here this time to ask Grandpa to get their son out.
Usually when they come over, grandpa will invite them to dinner, but this time he drove them away. Did they make grandpa angry?
Lin Man didn't think about it anymore. She scooped a large spoonful of egg custard with a spoon and put it in the bowl of her eldest son Huo Yining. She also picked up two pieces of turtle meat and a piece of vegetables with chopsticks for him.
Huo Yining looked at the food in the bowl and said, "Mom, I have good news for you."
"What good news?"
"The aunt who said I was fatter than a pig is now as fat as a pig. The bowl she uses to eat is bigger than the bowl we use to steam eggs at home."
Huo Qingci interrupted, "Yining, you can't say bad things about people behind their backs. Calling someone fat as a pig is very rude."

Huo Yining said with a look of grievance: "But she scolded me before!"
"That aunt is not sensible, but you have to learn to be sensible and set a role model for your younger brother." Huo Qingci patiently explained to his son.
Lin Man also knew that Huo Qingci was right to teach his child this way, so she naturally wouldn't interfere with him teaching the child.
Lin Man started to coax her, "Your father is right. Children shouldn't swear. Okay, Ningning, let's eat! Let's not bother with outsiders."
Huo Yining picked up the spoon and ate his meal. Halfway through, he suddenly said, "Mom, can I eat with a big bowl too?"
Huo Li asked him, "Why do you want to eat from a big bowl? Can you hold it up?"
Huo Yining replied, "A large bowl can hold a lot of food. This way, when I want to eat two bowls of rice, I only need to fill the large bowl and eat one bowl."
Lin Man has always hoped that her son would control his diet and reduce the amount of food he eats, because she is worried that if he continues like this, he will become a real glutton. She really can't understand why her son has such a good appetite.
Fortunately, her youngest son has a normal appetite and eats just the right amount. He just has a little baby fat and is not too obese.
"Ningning, you're still young. A small bowl of food for each meal is enough. Eating from a large bowl will make your stomach bigger and bigger, and it might even break down. It's also very easy to get sick, and if you get sick you'll have to be hospitalized and get injections..."
Hearing that he was going to get an injection, Huo Yining was so scared that he quickly said, "Mom, I won't eat anymore after I finish this bowl of rice. Please don't let the doctor give me an injection!"
Lin Man thought that maybe she could plant a hawthorn tree in Huo Qingci's space tonight, and then use the hawthorns to make some hawthorn pills for her son to help him digest his food, so that she could perhaps prevent him from becoming overweight.
From now on, try to give your son less sugary snacks and prepare more high-fiber foods.
After dinner, Liao Sijie went to clean up the dishes, Huo Qingci went to fetch water, and Lin Man took the two children to the bathroom to take a bath.
People in the north don't take baths as often when the weather gets cold, so Lin Man still tries to get them to take a bath every other day.
Of course, their adults take a bath every day. Lin Man would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t take a bath for a day. Fortunately, the space was not cold at all.
After giving the children a bath, she carried them back to their room, threw a few toys on the bed and let them play by themselves while she sat aside and knitted a sweater for Huo Yining.
Huo Yining suddenly said to Lin Man, "Mom, are you knitting a new sweater for me?"
Lin Man nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Mom, can I make a request?"
"What do you want?"
"Can you knit a frog on the outside of your coat?"
Lin Man was a little stunned and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want me to knit a frog on the outside of my sweater?"
"Then I'll call him the Frog Prince!"
Lin Man couldn't stop laughing. She didn't expect that after telling him a fairy tale, this kid actually took it seriously and even wanted to be the Frog Prince. He was really promising!
"This is a sweater to be worn inside, not a sweater jacket. It's not good to hook a frog outside the sweater and affect your jacket.
If you like frogs, how about I knit you a frog hat when mommy has time?"
Huo Yining shook his head, "No, I don't want to be cuckolded."
Lin Man was about to laugh when Huo Qingci pushed the door open and walked in. "What green hat?"
"Mom wants me to be a cuckold!"
Humph, don’t think he doesn’t know what green hat means. He heard Uncle He quarreling with his wife, saying that his wife was cheating on him and he wanted to kill his wife.
I don’t want to be cuckolded. What if Uncle He kills me?
Lin Man explained speechlessly, "Your son asked me to crochet a frog out of his sweater. I said I'd do it for him when I knit his woolen hat, but he said he didn't want to be cuckolded..."
