“Father, Father, let’s not talk about this. Actually, fifty taels of silver is about right. I’ll make up the difference for my third brother.”
Chi Sihai hurriedly stopped him, while giving Chi Sanhe a wink.
Are you out of your mind?
Should I tell my parents the truth?
Chi Sanhe silently complained to himself: Anyone who says Chi Sihai is honest will get angry with him!
Use it sparingly!
Aunt Chi knew that she and her husband were getting old and their thinking was different from that of young people, so she held back her anger.
She finished speaking through gritted teeth, then clutched her chest and drank her porridge.
I must say, the mung bean porridge that Tian Niangzi made today was really refreshing, cooling, and satisfying – it was delicious!
"Dad, when are you leaving?"
During the quiet meal, An'an suddenly asked a question in a low voice.
Chi Sanhe: "Of course, the sooner the better."
Right now, his heart feels restless and itchy, like it's overgrown with weeds.
An An lowered her head and remained silent.
Silang couldn't stand it anymore and looked up to ask on behalf of his brother: "Father, my brother wants to ask you when you will take him to pay respects to my mother."
Then he glanced at An'an.
Why are you so embarrassed to ask this?
Is it really necessary to fight with your own father?
An'an gripped the spoon tightly and remained silent.
"ah?"
Chi Sanhe slapped his forehead.
He then remembered that ever since An'an was found, he had promised her that he would go to pay respects to Xiao Zhoushi, but he had been forgetting.
Oh my god, this is something!
"An'an, why didn't you remind your father? You should have said so earlier, I'd completely forgotten," Chi Sanhe said casually.
This whole thing just happened to come at this time; he was eager to go to the capital and make his mark!
An An licked her lips and answered softly, "I, I..."
But they couldn't quite explain why.
The child is becoming increasingly timid, which is heartbreaking to see.
Aunt Chi was so angry that she scolded her son: "How dare you ask? Didn't you promise An'an a long time ago? You haven't done it yet, and you still have the nerve to ask the child why I didn't remind you?"
As she spoke, Aunt Chi also began to blame herself in her heart.
How could I have forgotten about this too?
Since An'an came back, she has been timid and sensitive. She has wanted to say something many times, but she has not dared to...
What a poor little thing.
"I simply forgot."
Chi Sanhe was carefree and didn't take it to heart at all.
This is nothing.
With red eyes and a pout like a wounded little rabbit, An'an said, "Thank you, Grandma."
“We’re family, no need for formalities. Here’s what we’ll do: Third brother, you set off now, take An’an to pay respects to Little Zhou, and then go to the capital after you return. As for the private school, just take a day off for now.”
Aunt Chi is also an impatient person.
Also, I didn't want An'an to keep thinking about this.
Secretly, Aunt Chi wanted An'an to stop worrying about Xiao Zhou Shi.
"Huh? Now?"
Chi Sanhe was somewhat reluctant, but he did not refuse.
Looking at his tiny son, Chi Sanhe reached out and gently patted An'an's head, trying to soften his voice:
"An'an, Daddy will take you to pay respects to your mother."
"Thank you, Dad."
An An's little face immediately lit up with a happy smile.
Finally, I can pay my respects to his mother.
The father and son set off immediately, having breakfast and then driving the oxcart with An'an and Silang.
Before Xiao Wu went to the private school, he was still urging Aunt Chi to go next door and ask her clearly.
Aunt Chi was speechless: "Alright, stop worrying about it and go to school."
"Remember to ask, you absolutely must find out!"
"What do you want to know?" Huo Yajie and Qiu Xing came over just then, their baskets filled with yellow apricots.
The servants in the house bought this at the market early this morning. It's especially delicious, so Huo Yajie thought she'd send some over to the neighbors.
We bumped into each other by chance.
Aunt Chi was so embarrassed, "Um, let me find out..."
"Since you've stumbled upon us, I'll be frank with you. We want to ask you, why did you lie to us? Your parents are clearly still alive, yet you said you have no relatives?"
Brother Wu's tone was somewhat aggressive.
He absolutely loathed the feeling of being deceived.
Huo Yajie's smile vanished instantly, replaced by unease. She picked at her fingers and whispered:
“I didn’t lie to you. I said I had no relatives back then because my mother wanted to poison me and kill me. If Qiuxing hadn’t saved me, I would have died long ago… Then she didn’t want to see me at home and sent me here… Is that kind of relative still a relative?”
Qiu Xing nodded vigorously, vouching for her mistress: "Yes, Madam is a terrible person! She tried to kill Miss for that reason! She's so vicious!"
She said anxiously, "Auntie, Fifth Brother, can you please stop hating Miss? Miss really didn't mean to lie to you. In Miss's heart, having parents like that is the same as not having any at all!"
Miss can only be happy here. If the Chi family gets on her bad side, wouldn't she be too pitiful?
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Although the Chi family understood these principles, but...
The thought of Chenyi made them feel uncomfortable.
"We've said it before, our family hates people with the surname Huo, and we hate deception even more!" Little Fifth Brother said, his neck stiff with anger.
Huo Yajie lowered her head and apologized: "Brother Xiao Wu, I'm sorry."
"Don't call me Fifth Brother!"
Brother Wu objected somewhat agitatedly.
That's a term only his family members can use!
How can you call Huo Yajie a fraud now?
