Chapter 254: A Slap (Page 1/2)
Yang Huiling was stunned by the scolding. She suddenly grabbed Huo Junlin and yelled, "Huo Junlin, what do you mean? What did I do that is so evil that you are so mean to me?
How have I been mean to your dad? Tell me! Did I buy less fruits, snacks, and canned food for the New Year and other festivals?
Your father is biased. If he wasn't, why would he give such a large courtyard house to Huo Qingci?
Our Wenjing is also his grandson, so why doesn't he give us Wenjing a few rooms?"
Huo Junlin shook off Yang Huiling's hand and said, "You are totally unreasonable!"
Yang Huiling was furious and kicked him directly. Huo Wenjing saw that his parents had suddenly started arguing and now they were even fighting, so he grabbed his mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, Dad is in a bad mood, please stop talking."
"Your dad's bad mood has nothing to do with me. He was scolded by your grandfather, and now he comes to vent his anger on me. He is simply insane."
Huo Junlin, who was called a psychopath, gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Yang Huiling, I said my dad didn't scold me."
"Your father didn't scold you, why are you crying?"
"I feel sorry for my dad. What's wrong with me feeling bad? Over the years, how much money have you taken from home for your parents? How much money have you spent on buying them delicious food, clothes, and pocket money?
It was my father who arranged my marriage and our jobs. What have we done for my father?
Because of you, who always gossip about the fifth child's wife behind his back, my father decided to divide all his savings equally among his four children.
"What did you say? Your father is going to divide up his savings. Didn't he give all of his savings to that brat Huo Qingci?"
Yang Huiling was immediately happy when she thought about her father-in-law taking out his remaining savings and dividing them up.
I don't know how much money is in his passbook. If everyone gets a share, it could be one or two thousand yuan, right?
Four children to share, four children? Huo Junmo is already married, and you still want to share the money? Dream on!
"Jun Lin, is your father getting senile? A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Why should your father give your sister a share of the money?"
"Pa!" Huo Junlin couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Yang Huiling in the face.
"Yang Huiling, shut up! Who are you calling old and confused?"
Yang Huiling looked at Huo Junlin in astonishment. After more than 20 years of marriage, he hit her. Huo Wenjing was also terrified. His father had just hit his mother?
"Huo Junlin, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you."
Yang Huiling reacted and rushed forward to punch and kick Huo Junlin. Huo Wenjing quickly stood between them and shouted:
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Don't you think our family is shameful enough? If you want to argue, go back and argue. If you want to fight, go back and fight. I've decided not to stop you."
Huo Junlin sighed heavily, "Alas...! Go home!"
Yang Huiling burst into tears and snot, and began to cry and complain as she walked:
"Son, your father has no conscience! I gave birth to his children, washed his clothes and cooked for him... and today he slapped me for just one sentence.
He has completely humiliated me today. I might as well eat rat poison and die. What's the point of living?
Seeing his wife start nagging and complaining like crazy again, Huo Junlin felt more and more annoyed and felt like his head was about to explode.
He knew in his heart that it was wrong to hit someone, but when he heard his wife dare to call his father an old fool, he was really furious, so he couldn't help but slap her.
Looking back now, he felt a little regretful. If he had known that she would be so disrespectful to her father, he might not have married her.
After all, marrying a woman who doesn't even know how to respect her father-in-law will only cause trouble for your father.
Huo Wenjing, who was standing aside, watched the scene happening in front of him and felt his scalp tingling and his whole body cold.
He could never have imagined that his mother would actually say something like drinking rat poison.
He felt extremely heavy-hearted, as he knew very well that this matter was not easy to resolve.
"Mom, please stop crying. Let's talk about it when we get home."
However, Yang Huiling just cried silently and did not respond to his words.
At the same time, Huo Li didn't know that his son slapped his daughter-in-law because of him.
If he knew about this, he would probably toss and turn all night and be unable to sleep.
At this time, Huo Li was being taken by Huo Qingci to the space to visit the pigpen. Due to time constraints, he had forgotten to visit the pigpen and had always wanted to go and take a look.

Looking at the dozens of large pigs and dozens of piglets in the pigpen, Huo Li smiled with his eyebrows curved, "Qingci, let's kill a pig before the New Year this year. I haven't tasted the delicious pig-killing meal in years, it really makes me miss it!"
Huo Qingci nodded and said, "Grandpa, if you want to eat the pig-killing meal, just tell me anytime.
When I have some time off, I can enter the space and slaughter a pig. I don’t have to wait until the end of the year.”
"I've been in this space with you for so long. When did you start raising pigs? You've been raising pigs for so many years, and I haven't even had a pig-killing meal."
"Grandpa, I didn't raise livestock in my space before. I started raising livestock only because Manman said she wanted to. I also bought those black goats on the island. The sheep here in Beijing are white."
Huo Li nodded. "Well, there are different breeds of goats. You want to raise white goats. I'll try to get a few back."
"Grandpa, can you buy a calf?"
"Cows are needed to plow the fields, and calves are hard to buy, so forget it."
Huo Qingci was of course aware that it was extremely difficult to buy a calf, but he still couldn't help but ask casually.
Huo Li then asked, "Qingci, how many times a day do you feed the pigs?"
"Feed him once in the morning and again in the evening. Grandpa, is there anything else you want to see? I can show you around."
"Don't watch it tonight. Come back tomorrow night to explore the space. I can help you feed the pigs and tend to the flowers."
Huo Qingci held his grandfather's hand tightly and walked towards the strawberry field. Looking at the large field of red strawberries in front of him, Huo Li was as happy as an innocent child.
"You little brat, if you had told your grandfather about this when you were little, he would have come to your space a long time ago to help you tend the fields!
Look at these bright red strawberries, they must be very sweet. There are many wild strawberries growing on the hills near your grandmother’s hometown, but they are all white.”
Huo Qingci slowly squatted down, picked a strawberry and gently placed it in Huo Li's hand, saying, "Grandpa, this kind of strawberry is called Four Seasons Milk Strawberry. Try it and see if it tastes like milk."
"Well, these strawberries are very soft and taste good. Grandpa is old and his teeth can't bite hard things. He doesn't even want to bite apples or pears. He just wants to eat softer fruits."
When Huo Qingci heard what his grandfather said, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, as if he remembered something important. He turned around without hesitation and ran towards the warehouse.
After a while, he returned to his original place holding a ball covered with spikes and quickly opened it.
Huo Li had never seen such a strange thing before, and asked curiously, "What is this thing? Why is it covered with thorns?"
However, before he could react, Huo Qingci had already broken open the durian, picked up a piece of flesh and handed it to him.
In an instant, an indescribable odor suddenly penetrated Huo Li's nostrils, and he subconsciously took a big step back.
"Why does this fruit smell so bad? Could it have fallen into a manure pit?" Huo Li frowned and muttered suspiciously.
"Grandpa, don't be fooled! Although this fruit smells a bit stinky, it actually tastes very sweet! If you don't believe me, try it!"
Huo Li was still a little hesitant and seemed to be worried about what to do next.
At this moment, Huo Qingci picked up a piece of durian flesh without saying a word and put it into his grandfather's mouth.
Faced with his eldest grandson's enthusiasm, Huo Li was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet.
After the durian meat entered his mouth, his expression became very strange, as if he was surprised, but also as if he was savoring the taste.
After a long while, Huo Li slowly swallowed the fruit pulp, and then he was silent for a moment as if thinking about something.
His eyes became a little deep, as if he was recalling something from the past.
"This fruit is hard on the outside but smelly on the inside and tastes good. It's just like your grandfather Lu Zheng, strong and sturdy, a good person, but with a bad temper."
Huo Li said softly, with a hint of emotion and teasing in his tone. Hearing this, Huo Qingci beside him couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
Only his grandfather would dare to compare Commander Lu to a durian.
Commander Lu is known for being strict and tough, but he is also a kind-hearted and upright person.
It's just that his temper is sometimes a bit impatient and difficult to deal with.
Huo Qingci thought that his grandfather's metaphor was really apt.
