Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 428 You Don't Need to Explain to Me

"Hey, Mom, eat slowly. I ate two yuan just now, and you ate five yuan."

While chewing, Er Qing looked at Er Qing's mother anxiously and said.

"Hey! You are a real kid, can't your mother eat more? I usually love you for nothing!"

Erqing's mother ate so much that her mouth was full of oil, and she immediately opened her eyes and reprimanded her.

As she said that, she turned her head to look at Erqing's father who was silent and gorging, and hurriedly picked up a few more pieces of braised pork from the bowl and put them into her own bowl.

Seeing this scene, Er Qing was taken aback for a moment, then reacted abruptly, and hurriedly joined the fighting team, fearing that there would be no bottom left in the bowl later.

Erqing's father was more direct, he didn't even have time to put down his chopsticks, so he wanted to reach out and pick up the sea bowl containing the braised pork.

However, before he could pick up the bowl, Erqing's mother beat him hard with chopsticks.

"what!"

With a cry of pain, he withdrew his hand and looked at Erqing's mother with embarrassment.

"His dad, is there anyone like you? Even the bowls have to be taken away!"

Erqing's mother scolded angrily with a straight face.

"Well, I was in a hurry!"

Erqing's father explained timidly.

"Hmph! I think you just want to eat alone!"

Erqing's mother snorted coldly and said with a dissatisfied face.

After finishing speaking, she saw that Erqing's father wanted to defend himself, so she directly waved her hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say any more. In order to punish you, you don't have your share of this meat anymore."

"Erqing, come on, my wife and I will share the meat."

"Hey, good good!"

Hearing this, Erqing hurriedly nodded in agreement, then quickly took the rice bowl and handed it to Erqing's mother, asking Erqing's mother to divide the meat for him.

Afterwards, Erqing's mother stretched out her hand to pick up the sea bowl containing the braised pork, took chopsticks, and shared the braised pork with you and me, Erqing's father secretly gritted his teeth and regretted it.

At the same time, a similar situation happened at the third aunt's house.

【Ding!The host helped the He family, Erqing's mother's family, and the third aunt's family to taste delicious braised pork, and helped the neighbors to arouse the gluttons in their stomachs. The system rewarded 258 happy coins. 】

The He family, Liu Hongchang listened to the system notification sound in his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, all the food on the dinner table was eaten, and the He family siblings and Yu Qiuhua couldn't help but show a very satisfied look on their faces.

Seeing Liu Hongchang put down the bowl and chopsticks, He Wenhui immediately wanted to get up to clean up, but Liu Hongchang immediately stopped him.

He ignored He Wenhui's suspicious eyes, but directed to He Wenyuan and said, "Wenyuan, after dinner at home, you will be responsible for cleaning up the dishes, and you will also be in charge of cleaning."

"No, why?"

He Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a look of resentment.

"Because I am your brother-in-law!"

Liu Hongchang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

"I"

He Wenyuan just wanted to retort, but when he thought of the braised pork he ate just now, and the slap that Liu Hongchang slapped before, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only sit there with his face pulled and sulking.

"Also, Wen Tao, I'll leave it to you to make soy sauce and vinegar at the non-staple food store in the future. Is there any problem?"

Liu Hongchang glanced at He Wenyuan, ignored her, turned to He Wentao and said.

He Wentao raised his head and looked at Liu Hongchang, then silently lowered his head and shook his head.

Although he was not very happy to listen to Liu Hongchang's words, he couldn't find a reason to refuse this matter.

"Okay, then these things are settled like this. If any of you don't do things well, then don't go to the table to eat, let alone come and give me any reason."

Liu Hongchang nodded and said with a serious face.

He Wenyuan lowered his head slightly, staring at the dining table with displeasure, as if he didn't hear Liu Hongchang's words.

He Wentao also looked down at the ground expressionlessly, as if silently resisting Liu Hongchang.

He Wenhui glanced at their appearance, couldn't help but nudged Liu Hongchang with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hong Chang, why don't you just forget about it! They are still young and ignorant"

However, just as she started to talk, she saw Liu Hongchang turned to look at her indifferently. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to say any more.

"Mom, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the house first, and you should rest early later!"

Liu Hongchang took a deep look at He Wenhui, then turned his head and said something to Yu Qiuhua, then got up and walked out.

"Okay, then go back and have a good rest, Wen Hui, hurry up and wash Hong Chang's feet with hot water in the pot, so that you can sleep more comfortably."

Yu Qiuhua nodded hurriedly when she heard the words.

When she heard what Liu Hongchang said before, she also wanted to persuade him. After all, He Wenyuan and He Wentao were both her children, and she had never been willing to let He Wenyuan and He Wentao do housework before.

However, she thought that she had agreed to Liu Hongchang to let him be the head of the house, so she kept silent all the time.

Even when Liu Hongchang proposed to go back to the house, she worried that He Wenhui would secretly help He Wenyuan clean up the dishes like before, so she just found an excuse to send He Wenhui away, which can be described as well-intentioned.

After all, she also knew that she was blind now and could no longer discipline the children, so no matter how distressed she was, she had to endure it.

"mom"

He Wenhui looked at Yu Qiuhua hesitantly.

"Go, go!"

Yu Qiuhua didn't wait for He Wenhui to continue, she waved her hand and urged.

"Ok!"

He Wenhui nodded helplessly in agreement, then looked at He Wenyuan with a distressed face, and finally got up slowly and walked out.

In her opinion, He Wenyuan has been wearing her leftover clothes and shoes since she was a child, and she has not worn a new dress. She is already very pitiful, and now she is forced to do housework.

You know, she only learned to cook and wash clothes after Yu Qiuhua became blind.

"Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, be good, listen to your brother-in-law, don't make your brother-in-law angry, ah!"

Yu Qiuhua heard the sound of He Wenhui going out, reached out and patted He Wenyuan's shoulder, and coaxed with a soft smile.

"Mom, I still have to go to school and do my homework, so I don't have time to clean up!"

He Wenyuan curled his lips and said reluctantly.

She didn't dare to say that she didn't have time to clean up the dishes, she only dared to talk about cleaning. She hoped that Yu Qiuhua could help her tell Liu Hongchang so that she didn't have to clean up.

"Why don't you have time! Just go out and play less! Wen Yuan, you are not too young now, it's time to learn to do some housework, so that your sister and your brother-in-law can relieve a little pressure."

Yu Qiuhua frowned, and said patiently and gently.

"Hmph! I think it's Big Old Liu who is taking the opportunity to take revenge on me. Otherwise, why would he let me do so much work, while Wen Tao only needs to make soy sauce!"

He Wenyuan snorted coldly and said angrily.

"Why are you pulling on me? If you have the ability, you can tell him yourself."

He Wentao glared at He Wenyuan, and said angrily.

"You think I dare not? I'll talk to him later."

He Wenyuan retorted stiffly.

"Then you go!"

He Wentao said with a face full of disdain.

"Humph! Go and go!"

He Wenyuan gritted his teeth and snorted, then stood up abruptly and wanted to go out.

"boom!"

"Enough! Do you want me to be mad at you!"

Yu Qiuhua slammed the table and cursed angrily.

When He Wentao and He Wenyuan saw that Yu Qiuhua was angry, they all lowered their heads and dared not do it again.

Although they had some opinions on Liu Hongchang, and they didn't really regard Liu Hongchang as their brother-in-law, but Yu Qiuhua was their mother, even if she was blind, she was the most important thing in their hearts.

After Yu Qiuhua cursed, the anger in her heart became even greater. She had clearly told them countless times, but why were these two children still so ignorant.

But, no matter what, this is all the meat that fell from her body. No matter how angry she gets, she still has to be patient and teach.

"Wen Yuan, Wen Tao, what did mom teach you before? Mom told you that our family cannot do without your brother-in-law now. If you make your brother-in-law go away, what good will it do you? What good will it do to our family? What good?"

"I'll tell you this for the last time now. If you dare to mess around again in the future, don't blame me, a mother, for being rude!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up with her hands on the dining table, and then went to the back of the loom in the dark to continue weaving.

He Wenyuan looked at Yu Qiuhua's figure, hesitated for a while, and finally started to clean up the dishes with a straight face.

He Wentao also walked into the room silently with his head down, suppressing all the grievances in his heart.

In fact, he also knew that this family could not do without Liu Hongchang, especially now that Liu Hongchang had become the director of the cafeteria, he could be considered a leader regardless of size, and he was not worthy of He Wenhui.

But he was still a little dissatisfied with Liu Hongchang, thinking that Liu Hongchang was taking advantage of others, otherwise how could he marry his elder sister He Wenhui.

Moreover, now he has to ride on his head and issue orders, which makes his self-esteem a little unbearable.

He vowed that he would be famous in the future and drive Liu Hongchang out of their old He's house.

On the other side, after heating the hot water, He Wenhui quickly entered the hut with a basin of hot water, intending to wash Liu Hongchang's feet.

Liu Hongchang looked at it and said nothing, and let He Wenhui squat in front of him, washing his feet with those soft little hands.

Needless to say, this feeling is almost comparable to the pedicure of the 21st century.

After a while, He Wenhui helped Liu Hongchang wipe off the water stains on Liu Hongchang's feet with a towel, then stood up and looked at Liu Hongchang hesitantly.

Feeling the slight warmth on his feet, Liu Hongchang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, don't look at me like this, just speak up if you have anything to say."

"Hong Chang, can you stop asking Wenyuan to do housework? She is still young now, she has to go to school during the day and review homework at night, and when I was her age, my mother didn't let me do housework. I'm worried that she will be emotional, which will affect her study!"

He Wenhui pursed her lips, and spoke persuasively.

"Oh! I knew you'd tell me about it."

Liu Hongchang laughed lightly, shook his head and said.

After finishing speaking, he straightened his expression, looked straight into He Wenhui's eyes, and asked softly, "Wen Hui, do you think I'm hurting her by doing this?"

"No, I just feel sorry for her!"

He Wenhui hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words and explained.

"Oh! Poor? I'm afraid you have misunderstood the word "poor!"

Liu Hongchang sneered, and said a little speechlessly.

He Wenhui frowned, looking at Liu Hongchang with some doubts and some embarrassment.

How can I say that I am also a prospective college student, you, a cook who has not studied for a few years, can you understand better than me?
"It's pitiful to let her do some housework? Then it's not pitiful to let her be a moth?"

Liu Hongchang asked with a straight face and a deep voice.

"That's not what I mean, I mean her biggest task now is to study hard, and there are us in this family!"

Seeing that Liu Hongchang was showing signs of anger, He Wenhui's heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained.

"He Wenhui, do you mean that I not only need to make money to support my family, but also treat your younger siblings as my ancestors?"

Liu Hongchang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice.

"I'm not, I didn't think so, Hong Chang, you misunderstood me!"

He Wenhui's complexion changed, and he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, for fear that Liu Hongchang really thought she thought so.

She really just loves her younger siblings, especially He Wenyuan, because she is a girl like her, and she always picks up her leftovers for everything.

It's not so much distress, it's better to say guilt.

"You don't need to explain to me. I know what you think in your heart. You just think that we are capable of supporting this family now and want to give our younger brothers and sisters a better life."

Liu Hongchang waved his hand, and said in a somewhat annoyed manner.

As he said that, he raised his brows, stared into He Wenhui's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "But, have you ever thought about a question? If one day we are no longer here, what would you ask them to do?"

"With their current state, even if a kind person gives them a bag of rice, they won't cook it for themselves, let alone support the family!"

"Are you doing this for them? You are harming them! Have you forgotten that you were said to be a paper man on the wall when you went to my house? Do you want them to be like you in the future?"

"You feel sorry for your younger siblings, I can understand that, but no matter what, you have to let them have the ability to take care of themselves! Can you still control them for the rest of their lives?"

"We can take good care of them now, but what about in the future? When we have children, how much will you be able to take care of them?"

"Don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of our old Liu family, and my wife, Liu Hongchang."

"That's all I'm telling you, think about it for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't bother to talk to He Wenhui anymore, and just lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

He Wenhui stood in front of the bed with a complicated expression, her lips twitched, and wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked and she couldn't speak.

In fact, she understood what Liu Hongchang said, and she also knew that it was not good to do so.

But she just couldn't see her brothers and sisters suffering, otherwise, she wouldn't be begging Liu Hongchang to come back with her.
