Chapter 181: Action
Father Xu kept muttering to himself, not trying to hide the pain on his face.
It seemed as if he felt that Xu Xiaoyue was wasting his money by living here.
Xu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes secretly and pointed to the bedside table. "Mom, there is a bag of apples there. Have a try."
Xu's mother also recognized things like apples. She stood up and took one back as Xu Xiaoyue said.
Father Xu looked at him with a squinting eye and suddenly asked, "The apples in this city are big and round. How much is one pound?"
After that, he didn't wait for Xu Xiaoyue to answer, and continued: "A while ago, your mother and I met an apple seller at the market here. He sold apples for 1.5 cents per pound, but they didn't look as good as this one. We were reluctant to buy any."
"Now that you have the potential to marry an officer, you are naturally willing to eat anything, but you don't even think about the kindness of your mother and me."
This is indeed a bit harsh.
In this era, the word "filial piety" alone can crush a person.
Xu's mother saw that Xu Xiaoyue's face looked very ugly, so she quickly reached out and pulled the man next to her.
"Xiaoyue is busy too, so she just thought of us."
Xu's mother tried to ease the atmosphere and smooth things over.
She didn't know why, but when she came up to see her beloved daughter, she felt like there was something empty in her heart.
My daughter has become more beautiful, and she is more dignified than before, unlike the timid person she was in the village.
As he spoke, he no longer seemed as afraid of Xu's father as before.
This was originally a good thing, which meant that she had completely integrated into this big city. She no longer had to be trapped in a small world like she was, enduring the harassment of her mother-in-law and the beatings of her husband all day long.
"Busy, busy, I don't know how busy I was. Apart from sending money home in the first few months, I was like dead and silent afterwards."
After much talk, Father Xu finally got to the point that concerned him most.
He had no feelings for his eldest daughter. If Xu's mother had not stopped him, he would have married her to the old butcher in the village long ago.
Although the old butcher was a bad person, he still had to get some benefits from slaughtering pigs and meat during festivals, so as his father-in-law, he should at least get some benefits.
Xu Xiaoyue's face had turned completely ugly. She leaned back, stared at the man coldly, and spoke in a cold tone.
"Have you said enough?"
Father Xu's eyes widened. He never expected that his eldest daughter, who was always so afraid of him, would dare to talk to him like this one day.
"You're itching for trouble, right? Think about who you're talking to. That damn girl is in a bad mood after going out."
As the man spoke, anger burst out from his wrinkled old face, and his eyes were as wide as a cow's.
Xu's mother subconsciously dodged to the side, but was afraid that the man would really do something, so she quickly grabbed the man's hand again.
"This is a hospital, Yueyue didn't mean it."
Being stopped, Father Xu pushed Mother Xu twice and said, "You are such a good daughter, but now you have learned so much that you don't even recognize your own father."
If the original owner was still here, he would have been so frightened after seeing this scene that he wouldn't dare to speak.
Xu Xiaoyue did not indulge her "cheap father" at all. She threw back the quilt, got out of bed and supported Xu's mother who had been pushed to the ground.
She glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, "Who the hell do you think you are? You expect me to respect you."
These words not only shocked Xu's mother, but even Xu's father was unable to react for a while.
When Xu Xiaoyue pulled the man to sit on the stool, Xu's father realized what was going on and pointed at the man's nose and scolded him.
"This is really outrageous, you little bitch, you really think that I, your father, won't dare to hit you now that you have climbed up the social ladder, right?"
As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand, raised it high, and was about to hit Xu Xiaoyue's little face.
His big, calloused hands were halfway raised when they were suddenly pulled back by a force from behind.
Father Xu struggled but failed to break free. Instead, the force tightened, causing a look of pain on his face.
"You dare to lay hands on her?"
The man's voice was filled with a chilling indifference and an oncoming intimidation.
Father Xu turned his head and glanced at the side to see a man about 1.8 meters tall wearing a military uniform.
He kept crying out in pain, and the smug look of being the "head of the family" was no longer on his face.
Mother Xu was frightened by this sudden change. Looking at Father Xu's painful expression, she subconsciously wanted to step forward and ask the man to let go.
Xu Xiaoyue held her back, looked up at Yan Ye, pursed her lips and said, "Okay, let him go."
The man turned around and looked at Xu Xiaoyue. Seeing that there was no reluctance on her face, he slowly loosened his hand.
"Who the fuck are you?"
Father Xu let go and turned his head to look at the man's face, still cursing.
He cares most about his face. Now that he feels insecure, he still has to pretend to be calm on the surface during the confrontation.
Yan Ye didn't even glance at the man, he walked forward and pulled the girl towards him, "Go up there and lie down, don't you know the blood is coming back from your hand?"
After being reminded by her, Xu Xiaoyue looked down and found that red liquid was gushing up from the thin and long tube of the IV.
She nodded and lay back on the bed under the man's force.
The girl blinked her eyelashes and looked at Xu's mother who was feeling uneasy. "Mom, come sit next to me."
"Yeah, okay."
Mother Xu's legs went limp and she sat on the stool beside the bed.
When Mr. Xu saw that no one in the room paid any attention to him, he immediately blew his beard and glared, and was about to start repeating the same old things.
Yan Ye's eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of disgust.
From the moment Xu Xiaoyue's parents came in, he stood at the door and listened to the noise inside.
The couple was picked up from the countryside last month. He was supposed to pick them up at the station, but something urgent happened on the way and he missed the best opportunity to meet them.
He simply asked his subordinates to help him bring the two elders back.
What he had said to Xu Xiaoyue before, that he had already discussed the marriage arrangements with her parents, was just to coax her. In fact, today was the first time he met the girl's parents.
It was very different from what he had imagined.
The couple looked very honest, with their backs hunched and their bodies huddled, and their faces still showing the traces of vicissitudes of life.
Judging from the faces of the couple, they look like ordinary people. Giving birth to a daughter who looks like Xu Xiaoyue must have been a genetic mutation.
Yan Ye originally thought that based on the girl's spoiled personality, she would be extremely happy the moment she saw her relatives.
After all, Xu Xiaoyue's personality looks like the result of being spoiled, and she is also a bit lawless.
The truth was an eye-opener for him.
Mr. Xu looked like an honest man, but after he entered the room and saw the girl on the bed, every word he said became more hurtful than the last.
He even attacked the girl.
