Chapter 135 You Choose
In the west room, Second Aunt Xu and others had gone out to help the doctor boil medicine. After Xu Minghui's wound was bandaged by the doctor, he faintly heard the sound of an argument coming from the main room, and a hint of coldness quickly flashed in his eyes.
Xu Mingyang was still very scared.
He curled up beside Xu Minghui and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, Dad won't make a fuss again, right?"
A sneer appeared on Xu Minghui's pale face, and he said lightly: "Probably not."
He had guessed this day would come.
As a son knew his father's temperament best, he naturally expected that there would be a big fuss once he got out of his control and entered the house.
But he never expected that his mother, who in his memory dared not speak loudly to his father, would be so angry today.
But it's better this way. It seems that his mother has been influenced a lot at home during this period of time. It's a good thing that she can be tougher.
Now the self-torture tactic comes first, followed by insults.
At this point, no one in the main room would believe anything they said...
He closed his eyes to hide the complex expression in them, looked at Xu Mingyang, whose face had turned pale with fear, and said, "You said that my sister-in-law had a quarrel with my grandmother just now?"
Xu Mingyang, who had eavesdropped, nodded tremblingly.
He folded his arms and whispered, "Grandma is unhappy, and my sister-in-law is unhappy too, but..."
"But my sister-in-law is better than my grandmother."
Speaking of Sang Zhixia, Xu Mingyang's eyes were filled with an indescribable pride. He sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Grandmother was so angry at my sister-in-law that she was speechless. She was the same as last time!"
"That time when you weren't home, Mingxu and Jinxi were bullied. Sister Yanran and I went to fight with the Wang family kid. When we came back, grandma scolded us, and my eldest sister-in-law defended us. She even went to the Wang family and slapped someone in the face to vent our anger!"
"Sister-in-law is amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
After hearing this, Xu Minghui curled his lips in an ambiguous manner and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister-in-law treats you well?"
Xu Mingyang nodded without hesitation: "Excellent!"
"My eldest sister-in-law said that no one is allowed to bully us. She will fight back if anyone dares to do so! If she can't beat them, she will let my eldest brother do it. My eldest brother is also very good! He went there last time too! The people in the Wang family didn't dare to say a word after being beaten!"
Before the whole family was exiled to the northwest, the situation of the three branches of the Xu family getting along was very different from today.
Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas, no one is close to anyone else, everyone has their own calculations and ulterior motives.
It’s different now.
They huddled together in times of crisis, which seemed to show that they were inseparable and supported each other.
Xu Minghui is away from home and cannot take care of the trivial matters at home, so it is impossible for him not to worry.
If Xu Yu was the only one left at home, it would be impossible for him to leave his mother and younger brother alone at home.
Because Xu Yu only cared about the person who got the first wife, he didn't care about the life and death of others. That person was cold-hearted in his bones, and he knew it better than anyone else.
Fortunately, Xu Yu wasn't the only one who spoke with conviction...
Xu Minghui paused for a moment, his voice unclear, and then said hoarsely, "You must remember how well your sister-in-law treats you. In the village, remember to protect Mingxu and Jinxi. You are their older brother, so don't let anyone bully them."
Xu Mingyang nodded vigorously with red eyes. Seeing that Xu Minghui looked really bad, he said worriedly, "Brother, are you in pain?"
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Xu Minghui laughed and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, don't cry."
"You're already an adult, why are you crying?"
"I'll rest for a while. You go out and see mom. Don't let her get too sad."
Xu Mingyang wiped her tears and left. Xu Minghui leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes tiredly.
With this plan, it can be considered comprehensive, right?
Half an hour later, Second Uncle Xu endured the humiliation and told about the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Xu Minghui, and even confessed the past when Xu Minghui had forced him to practice acupuncture and confine him.
But no one believed it.
Uncle Xu couldn't stand his second brother, who was incompetent at everything, and said angrily, "Absurd!"
"You're his biological father! How could he do this to you?!"
"Minghui has been a self-disciplined and respectful person since he was young. How could he do such a foolish thing?!"
Uncle Xu retorted angrily: "Why can't he?!"
"He did all this himself! I told you clearly..."
"Stop it!"
Uncle Xu waved his hands angrily: "I think you are really a fool, your brain is completely useless!"
"If he really had caused you so much injustice, why didn't you tell me earlier? Life as an accountant was so tough, how did you manage to stay so fat?"
"I'm here listening to your nonsense because I believe your lies. Can you even utter a single word of truth?"
Uncle Xu was about to argue, but then the old lady roared, unable to bear it any longer: "That's enough!"
When speaking and doing things, you have to base your actions on evidence. You have to look at the inside as well as the outside, but Uncle Xu has nothing to show for it except his mouth.
Not only did other people not believe it, even the old lady who was always biased couldn't convince herself.
The more he talks, the more ridiculous it becomes. If he continues to make trouble, the relationship between father and son will be completely ruined, and the second house will really have no hope at all!
After being furious, the old lady realized that her own son was completely useless. The second wife's hopes now all rested on Xu Minghui, and she must not let Xu Minghui down again!
She didn't dare to look at the old man's expression. She stood up and said anxiously, "I know you don't want to be an accountant, and I know you don't want to be controlled by Minghui, but why don't you think about why he restricts your comings and goings?"
"Is he trying to hurt you? He's clearly trying to help you!"
The old lady knew very well what kind of person her son was. If he entered a place like a gambling house where all kinds of people mixed together and there were no restrictions at all, he might get drunk and gamble every day and get into trouble.
She didn't think Xu Minghui's restrictions were wrong.
The old lady couldn't stand Uncle Xu's antics any longer. With a gloomy face, she gritted her teeth and said, "You're a father. You finally have a capable son. Why don't you just raise him? Why do you always make a fuss and try to hold him back?"
"Minghui is much more respectable than you! And you still don't know how to reflect on yourself! Look at what you've become! I can't discipline you without using the family rules, right?!"
Although the Xu family has fallen on hard times, their family rules and regulations remain.
Uncle Xu got beaten up today. If he forced the old man to use family rules, he would at least lose half his life today.
The old lady was extremely worried that he would not understand her meaning. She glared at him fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Foolish thing! Go kneel down and admit your mistake to your father!"
Uncle Xu still refused to bow his head and looked quite unconvinced.
The old man looked at it for a long time and then laughed at himself, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all, and his face was full of cold and lingering aura of majesty.
"I know you have resentment in your heart, but I can't keep you at home."
No matter how true or false the grievances and resentments he spoke of were, given the way he was prone to making a fuss at the slightest provocation, the old man had to pretend to be ignorant and not keep him to avoid any trouble.
Second Uncle Xu stumbled to the ground, his face ashen. "Old man... that evil creature was my son! Are you going to watch him ride on my neck and bully me like that?!"
"If it were ten years ago, I would have chopped you to pieces right now! You're not even allowed to make such a fuss here!"
The old man suddenly roared, shocking the old lady so much that her feet shuddered all the way to the back of her head. Uncle Xu, who had a face full of resentment, was also shocked and trembled violently.
The old man looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Either I cripple your legs today and force you to drink a bowl of mute medicine, leaving you paralyzed at home and being supported by everyone else, or you just stay quiet and stop making noise and trouble, and go back to your job as an accountant in two days."
"You choose."
