When Tian Congbao saw Jia Xin, he couldn't help but frown. His expression was somewhat similar to Wang Xu's.
Tian Wangdi came out with a bulging belly. She had gained a lot of weight, her skin had become much whiter, and her clothes and appearance had become more elegant. It was obvious that her life was quite good. Yao Cuilian had helped her a lot before she left.
Tian Wangdi saw Congbao and Gu Xi and said, "Congbao, you guys are back? Is Shanghai fun? I haven't been there yet. I'm so envious. You've really turned from a sparrow into a phoenix now that you're with Gu Xi. Your penis has grown a lot too, and it looks like it's well-nourished. You didn't even come to see me."
Tian Congbao was disappointed when he heard this: "I have to go to school every day, and the teacher won't let me take a leave. As soon as the holiday comes, I go back home with Gu Zhiqing and my elder brother to celebrate the New Year. I heard that you're back, so I sent you a can of milk powder."
Gu Xi was unhappy after hearing what Tian Wangdi said: "He really doesn't have time to come and see you. He has to go to school during the day and work at night. You can't live in this house for free. You have to exchange your labor. I see that you are plump and white, and your life seems to be quite comfortable. Your clothes are also new. It seems that you are honored because of your son."
After hearing this, Tian Wangdi looked at Wang Congbao again. He had grown a lot taller, but not fat, and he still had some muscles. It seemed that he had gained these muscles through hard work.
Little did they know that these muscles were the result of Gu Xi asking Wang Xu to stay in shape and exercise every day. She also told Tian Congbao that he couldn't just focus on studying, but also needed to keep fit, so she asked the two brothers to go to the gym every day. Gu Xi also paid attention to protein intake, and they took turns eating eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp every day. After a period of time, muscles were naturally formed.
Tian Wangdi obviously misunderstood: "Aren't you well off? I heard that the pig farm in the village has a share for my elder brother. Why do you still want Congbao to work?"
Gu Xi disagreed: "There is no such thing as a free lunch. You don't even take care of your own sister, and you let two of us who are not related to you take care of her. We can only use labor to replace her. Of course, my life won't be as good as yours, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing and I can do some work. Anyone would be willing to do it."
Jia Xin couldn't help but say, "How can you be like this? You are a capitalist. Congbao, if you want, you can come back and live here. We will support you."
Tian Wangdi's face suddenly darkened, and she glared at Jia Xin: "Put away all your thoughts that shouldn't be there. I turned a blind eye to your affairs outside, but if you don't give me face, I will tell your parents and they will not be polite to you. You don't have a job now, and you live off your savings all day long. Won't you spend money after your son is born? How can you spare money to support others?"
The word "others" made Tian Congbao completely realize the reality. He stuffed the milk powder in his hand to Tian Wangdi and prepared to leave.
Gu Xi held him back and looked at Tian Wangdi: "You said you didn't want this house anymore and you wouldn't come back, so why did you come back all of a sudden? Logically, you can't just move in. We're going to use this house to raise some chickens and ducks. If you want to move in, you can. You have to pay rent. As for how much, you can go to the village committee and go through the process. It's five yuan a month."
Tian Wangdi's expression changed instantly: "This is my home, why can't I go back? Why are you asking me for rent?"
Gu Xi pointed at Tian Congbao and said, "You made it very clear that you didn't want this house, so you moved all the money and valuables away. We also helped you raise your brother. You have taken all the benefits in the world, and you don't have to bear any responsibilities. How can this be possible? If you feel that there is a disagreement, you can find the village chief, or you can find the police. I want to settle this account with you. It's good enough that I don't ask you for money. If you want to come back and live here, you must pay rent. What? Yao Zhouzheng is useless, so the Yao family doesn't recognize him?"
This sentence made Jia Xin and Tian Wangdi change their faces. Gu Xi realized something was wrong: "What? Were you really kicked out of your home and left homeless? No wonder you're coming back. Wang Xu and I can't afford to raise another child. Prepare the rent. I'll ask the village committee to draft a contract later. If it doesn't work, we'll call the police. You'll have to pay me back a lot of money."
Tian Wangdi looked at Gu Xi: "Why do you all favor Tian Congbao? You can raise him, but why do you treat me like this?"
Gu Xi looked at her and said, "Before you left, didn't I tell you that we could take care of you? But you chose to get married and took away all your valuables. Have you ever thought about Cong Bao's situation? You reap what you sow. Everything is your own choice."
Jia Xin never looked at Tian Wangdi directly from beginning to end, and the two of them did not have any communication at all.
Gu Xi took Tian Congbao back, closed the door, and put her arms around Tian Congbao's neck: "Don't think too much. The fate between people is deep or shallow, even relatives are the same. Just do it with a clear conscience. And even though you are tall, you are still a child. The first task is to study. You will go to Shanghai with us to study at the end of the year, so you need to make more preparations."
Tian Congbao nodded: "I'll go back to the house to rest. I'm a little tired on the way."
Gu Xi knew that he needed time to digest his emotions: "Take a good rest. Allow yourself to be sad, but don't dwell on it all the time. It can't become a hurdle that you can't get over forever."
Without needing Tian Congbao to respond, Gu Xi stretched out her arms and said, "I am indeed a little tired. I am going to take a nap too."
Wang Xu came out of the kitchen, put a bowl of noodles on the table, turned back to the room and called Gu Xi: "I cooked noodles, eat before going to sleep."
Tian Congbao walked over, and Wang Xu pointed to the kitchen: "You can get it yourself in there, and you still want me to bring it out for you, you wish."
Gu Xi came out and happened to hear this: "Why don't you serve him one?"
Wang Xu glanced at Tian Congbao, threateningly: "You want me to bring it out for you?"
Tian Congbao saw Gu Xi winking at him, and he immediately straightened his back and sat down at the table: "Yes, I am still young and can't hold the noodles."
Wang Xu snorted at Tian Congbao, "In this life, I will only serve my wife, no one else. It's already very good of you to cook noodles for you, you want me to serve them, you are really rebellious."
Tian Congbao pouted: "You still serve Uncle Gu and Aunt Chen, and you also want to flatter your eldest brother-in-law."
Wang Xu nodded, stood up, picked up the wooden stick leaning against the wall and raised it up.
Tian Congbao quickly stood up and begged for mercy: "I'll go get it myself, I'll go myself, big brother, please sit down, I'll get you the noodles."
After a while, Tian Congbao smiled obscenely, and thought he had managed his expression well.
As the bowl of noodles approached, Wang Xu keenly smelled the vinegar. He waited calmly for Tian Congbao to sit down and placed the bowl of noodles in front of Wang Xu.
Wang Xu pointed at the bowl of noodles in front of Tian Congbao and said, "I want to eat your bowl. Let's switch."
Tian Congbao immediately jumped up and said, "Why do you want to eat from my bowl? My bowl is small and not enough for you, so I gave you more noodles."
Wang Xu took the initiative to switch the two bowls. Tian Congbao wanted to stop him, but Wang Xu looked at him inquiringly: "Why don't you switch? Did you drug my noodles?"
Tian Congbao was still young after all, and couldn't do anything bad, so he remained calm and immediately retorted: "Where did you put the drug?"
Wang Xu nodded in affirmation: "That's good, you need to eat more to grow. I just came back and ate all the snacks I didn't finish on the train. I can't eat that much."
In front of the old fox, Tian Congbao could only bite the bullet and eat the bowl of noodles he had exchanged. He added a lot of vinegar to this bowl of noodles for a small revenge. Wang Xu usually didn't touch vinegar and couldn't stand the sour taste.
As soon as he picked up the noodles with chopsticks, a acetic smell rushed into his nose. Tian Congbao couldn't help but hold his breath. Seeing Wang Xu looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and stuff it into his mouth. After taking a bite, he shuddered at the sour smell and couldn't help spitting it out.
Gu Xi couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, and Wang Xu also smiled with his lips curled up: "When you came out of the kitchen, the vinegar smell wafted over here. Do you think your brother is a fool? If you want to add something, you should add something colorless and tasteless, such as salt or sugar, not vinegar. It's so funny, it's just your own fault."
Tian Congbao had a sad face. He didn't want to waste the food, but it was too hard to swallow, so he just stood there.
Wang Xu saw his embarrassment and showed his childish side: "Don't do it again. Pour out this bowl. There's still extra noodles in the pot. If you do it again next time, eat it all."
