Chapter 72 Life Comes from Art
Because he didn't know what Hei Xia Zi was thinking, Zhang Moyu didn't think of telling him about Zhang Qiling's previous behavior and what happened to Xiao Xianglu.
Zhang Qiling and Hei Xia Zi were living in dire straits at home, while Wu Xie, who had also gone out on an adventure without his parents' knowledge and was summoned home, was thriving.
"Grandma, I want to eat milk cake. I haven't eaten it for a long time since I moved out."
As soon as Wuxie entered the door, she started to act coquettishly with her grandmother as if she was familiar with the place.
Finally, she saw her long-awaited grandson. Grandma Wu was very happy. She walked towards him in two steps, her face as smiling as a flower.
Wu Erbai entered the house a step later than Wuxie, but was ignored by his own mother and didn't even give him a glance.
Knowing that his mother was still blaming him and the third brother for taking the initiative to let Wuxie move out, Wu Erbai raised his glasses a little embarrassedly.
He felt that his mother had spoiled Wuxie too much. If he had been allowed to go out and explore the world earlier and have more exposure to the outside world, he would not have developed his current naive personality.
"Okay, okay, grandma will have someone cook for you. You can eat whatever you want at home."
Grandma Wu caressed Wuxie's face lovingly, her eyes full of heartache and complaints towards her two sons.
"My dear grandma, you've been so tired all the way here. You must have suffered a lot outside... Look at your face, it's so thin from hunger."
Wuxie bent down, cooperated with Grandma Wu's face-pulling movements, and actively pouted, making a few cute little expressions, which made Grandma Wu happier and happier, and she laughed so hard that her eyebrows were invisible.
As expected, my own obedient grandson is more pleasing to the eye than those three unfilial sons.
If it weren't for the two brats, the second and third sons, who kept persuading her, how could she have the heart to let her eldest grandson move out of the old house and work hard outside on his own?
Really, the family is well-off and has a lot of money, so they can afford to support an idler. Ever since her beloved grandson moved out, she, an old woman, is the only one left at home.
The three sons were all busy with their own things and didn't come home often. The younger generations from other families would come over from time to time, but she wasn't familiar with them, and it wasn't like they came to see him with any innocent intentions.
She was old and her eyesight was not clear, but her mind was as clear as a mirror. As an old woman, she saw clearly what they were coming for. One by one, they were all visiting their elders, hoping to establish a relationship with the Wujia.
If she wasn't so lonely at home, she wouldn't pay attention to those people.
Grandma Wu thought so, and glanced at Wu Erbai with resentment, who had been silent since he came in.
Wu Erbai put on a helpless wry smile, then spoke in a gentle and warm voice.
"Mom, I brought Xiao Xie to you. I have some things to take care of, so I can't stay with you."
"Go, go, go and do your thing. I have my wonderful grandson, and that's all I need.
You don’t want to see me, and I don’t want to see you either.”
Grandma Wu waved her hands impatiently at Wu Erbai, telling him to get out and go somewhere cooler.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to see you, I just really have something to do. I'll leave first and come back when I have time."
Being despised by his own mother, Wu Erbai did not feel lost or depressed. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then he looked at Wuxie with a little sympathy and turned away without hesitation.
These days, he has been pestered by his mother. She calls him five or six times a day to urge him to go home. Once he gets home, she talks to him about family matters, such as which dog has given birth to puppies again, or which kid made a fool of himself when visiting.
Wu Erbai became a little impatient after coming a few times. It’s not that he didn’t want to see the old lady, but he had too much work to deal with and really had no time to chat with the old lady.
Whenever he asked his mother what she wanted to do, Old Lady Wu would urge him to get married. If he had a child and raised it with her, she wouldn't have to worry about this black-hearted second son every day.
Wu Erbai felt a headache whenever he was talked about. He looked around the house for Wuxie and finally saw him back. He then quickly brought him back to the old house.
It is said that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady. But as soon as Wuxie came back, the unfavored second son was abandoned like a piece of trash.
Wu Erbai, who had successfully diverted his attention, decisively slipped away, leaving Wuxie to face the old lady's chattering alone.
Wuxie first took a few plates of snacks and ate heartily, then sat on the sofa with his grandmother to watch the melodramatic drama.
The two of them were enthusiastically discussing the female lead's words about brain stem loss in the melodramatic drama, as well as the crazy and illegal actions of the sick and domineering male lead.
It was obvious that the two people had the same interests and they became more and more interested as they talked.
However, when Wuxie saw that the sick and domineering male protagonist was always finding fault with the female protagonist, causing her and her family to lose their jobs, and then the female protagonist said to the male second in a heartbreaking voice, "He has left me with nowhere to go," he suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
I always feel like I've seen this plot somewhere before?
The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes...
Wuxie pondered for two seconds, and suddenly realized.
He knew why it looked familiar. He had seen this sentence on the stone wall of a tomb passage in the underwater tomb not long ago.
No Three Provinces
Leaving me with nowhere to go
Jie Lianhuan
Wuxie nodded with certainty. How could he have forgotten about this? He was shocked when he saw it in the tomb... Wait, something seemed wrong!
Wu Xie suddenly froze, watching the scene on TV where the hero found the runaway heroine and locked her in a small dark room, the expression on his face gradually became blank.
Third Uncle? Uncle Jie?
Could they be...that kind of relationship? ! ! !
When they were in the underwater tomb, Fatty Wang, after seeing that sentence, even suspected that Wu Sansheng had killed Jie Lian for the treasure, or for some other reason.
The young man also thought that this guess was very reliable, but Wuxie had always been skeptical about this statement.
Because he felt that his third uncle and Jie Lian should have a good relationship.
He remembered that when he was a child, Jie Lian often came to his house to play, bringing with her a cute and adorable little sister who would smile sweetly at him and call him Brother Wuxie.
Later, Jie Lian went out with his third uncle, but his third uncle came back alone. Jie Lian was nowhere to be found, alive or dead.
There are rumors that his third uncle killed the uncle of the Jie family. Later, his third uncle went to the Jie family to apologize, but was scolded by Mr. Jie and knelt in the Jie family's ancestral hall for a day and a night.
From then on, the relationship between the two families gradually faded.
Wuxie felt it was quite a pity. If the relationship between the two families had continued to be good, he and his sister Xiaohua would definitely be a pair of sticky childhood sweethearts.
That little girl Xiaohua was so cute when she was a child, and she was obviously a beauty. Maybe his major life event will be settled soon, and now he won’t have to be urged to go on blind dates from time to time.
It’s all his third uncle’s fault!
Wuxie sighed depressedly.
Then he thought, if his third uncle and Jie's uncle really had that kind of relationship, then some things could not be judged superficially.
Once certain ideas are opened, all kinds of wonderful associations will come flooding in.
