Some people on the periphery of the crowd heard something amiss behind them and turned around unintentionally.
Then they discovered that the other protagonist of the story, Xiao Yichen, had returned.
At this critical juncture, it's truly a stroke of luck that my nose fell off!
The show is getting more and more exciting. Will Xiao Yichen beat up his cheating wife or the gossipy woman? We'll find out soon!
With an inquisitive smile on her face, she patted the person next to her.
The man turned around and saw the travel-worn Xiao Yichen, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my, Fourth Sister-in-law, look, your third son is back!"
Aunt Xiao was a little incredulous when she heard this. Her son had only been away visiting relatives for a short time, so how could he be back so soon?
But this person spoke with certainty.
Unsure, she quickly pushed through the crowd.
After passing through several layers of people, I saw my son standing on the roadside about ten meters away.
His face was weathered and covered in dust.
He had a large backpack on his back and a duffel bag in his hand.
Aunt Xiao wasn't paying attention to any of that; what she really noticed was that her good-for-nothing son had returned!
So, filled with anger, he ran towards his son.
Xiao Yichen was a little confused by this series of developments.
Looking at Aunt Xiao, who was charging at him aggressively.
And behind them was a group of people with inscrutable expressions, some showing sympathy, some regret, and some watching the show with amusement.
But they were all aunties and older women with bright, piercing eyes, staring intently at him.
Xiao Yichen felt as if he had returned to the age of being naked, with no sense of privacy whatsoever.
Thinking about this, a chill ran down my spine.
Even Xiao Yichen, who was used to big events, was a little taken aback.
We can't fight them, we can't talk to them, and we haven't even had a chance to ask them yet!
All he could do was give Aunt Xiao a simple, honest smile.
He called out in his most obsequious tone, "Mom!"
Aunt Xiao, who was in a fit of rage, couldn't be appeased with just a simple "Mom".
He went straight for it and started slapping Xiao Yichen's back repeatedly.
Xiao Yichen was only wearing a shirt, and Aunt Xiao had worked hard all year round and was quite strong.
Xiao Yichen felt as if his mother had practiced Iron Palm.
It felt like my palms were hitting the flesh.
Xiao Yichen wondered if he could consider asking his mother to be his tutor.
That hit really hurt!
However, even this intense pain couldn't overshadow the shock of what his mother said next!
"Mom what? I told you not to study hard, I told you not to study hard, can't you wait a bit? How could you do this? This is how I taught you, huh!"
One older brother isn't enough for you, you're even following suit! You're going to drive me crazy, you unfilial son!
Xiao Su is such a good person, and this is how you treat her? How can you face her?
How can you face her family? I'll beat you to death, you heartless scoundrel!
Xiao Yichen was initially stunned by the beating.
What terrible rule did he break that warranted being treated like this in front of so many people?
If those brats find out, where will I put my face?
I was just thinking about whether I should sneak into the house first and ask my mother why she was angry after she calmed down.
I heard the same thing as his older brother!
His older brother? At his doorstep? He got beaten up himself? What about basic human decency!
Xiao Yichen felt like he had grasped something important!
The key to getting rid of Aunt Xiao was to use a clever trick, not for any other reason than to prevent my mother from falling.
Then, after overcoming numerous onlookers and exerting tremendous effort, he squeezed his way into his own doorstep.
Only then did he see his wife!
Xiao Yichen looked closely at Su Ruobai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
I've lost weight, gotten darker, and my spirits aren't what they used to be!
It's all because I didn't take good care of her.
After struggling for a long time, he managed to utter a sentence.
"It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you!"
Aunt Xiao followed and immediately grabbed Xiao Yichen's ear.
"Get the hell out of here! Xiao Su is pregnant, but what does that have to do with taking care of her? I'm taking very good care of her."
I've told you so many times, it has to be after we're married, it has to be after we're married! Why can't you ever learn your lesson?
Now that everyone knows, how is Xiao Su supposed to face people?
Su Ruobai watched like she was watching a play, first witnessing her mother-in-law unilaterally beating her husband.
Then the man got his ear pulled!
Now she understands what it means!
So her mother-in-law thought she and Xiao Yichen had done *that* before their marriage, and that it resulted in someone's death!
Su Ruobai ignored Xiao Yichen and only looked at her mother-in-law.
How much this elder trusted her!
Even so, when she got pregnant, her first reaction was that they had sex beforehand, rather than that she had cheated on him.
For some reason, a certain part of Su Ruobai's heart suddenly became soft and tender.
She walked over to Aunt Xiao, hugged her arm, and called out sweetly, "Mom!"
Aunt Xiao, who had been holding Xiao Yichen's ear, let go of it after hearing this.
She slapped Xiao Yichen and said disdainfully, "Get lost! I hate just looking at you!"
Then she turned her head, a smile on her face, and spoke gently, as if to a baby, saying, "Su, what's wrong? Tell Mom, do you want to eat something? It's okay, Mom's here, don't be afraid! Mom will make whatever you want to eat!"
As he spoke, he touched Su Ruobai's hair.
Aunt Xiao's heart was softened and filled with contentment by that one word, "Mom"!
Right now, she feels like her whole heart is sticky and gooey.
Girls are better!
Si Dan, standing next to her, felt a little uncomfortable seeing his grandmother so gentle and kind!
