Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Grandma Du, who was sitting on the ground and crying, stopped crying when she heard this. She scolded the man, “Bullsh*t! What does this have to do with you? Stop interfering in our family’s business! Hongguo isn’t yours, of course, you’d say that! If you were in his shoes, would you give your daughter up? Would you agree to the divorce? Dream on! Even if she dies, she will die in this house! ”
“How can such a person think that way? Forget it, you’re a lost cause.” As the man spoke, he felt a sense of annoyance and walked away.
The others were convinced that it was a family matter. If they said anything, they would definitely be scolded by this muddle-headed old lady, so they all left.
It would save them from getting into trouble even though they had good intentions.
“M-Mother…” Once everyone left and didn’t want to get involved in their familys business, Du Hongguo started to fall into a pit of despair.
“It’s fine. I’m here.” Xue Daxi smiled and comforted her. “As long as I’m here, I’ll never let you be bullied by anyone.”
“Yes… Okay…” Du Hongguo felt more at ease, but she was still crying so hard that she felt light-headed. She was the one who dragged her mother down… Otherwise, her mother would have left this house long ago… She decided that she would definitely be filial to her mother in the future!
Du Hongguo kept sobbing in front of everyone. Du Shanqiang didn’t feel good about this whole situation at all. He could tell that Xue Daxi was done with his antics and did not want to speak to him. If this continued, his daughter might not even acknowledge him in the future. Then, wouldn’t he have raised her for so many years in vain?
Du Shanqiangs heart skipped a beat. Fearing that such a thing would really happen, he hurriedly said to his parents, “Father, Mother, why don’t we just forget about all of this and move on?”
Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo immediately looked at him in surprise.
“Are you trying to anger me to death?!” Grandma Du sat on the ground and pointed at Du Shanqiang. She was so angry that her breathing quickened. “Are you trying to get me killed?!”
“H-honey? Are you okay?” Grandpa Du didn’t even have the time to scold his son. He hurried over to see how his wife was doing.
Du Shanqiang was also shocked by the sudden change. He didn’t expect his mother to have such a big reaction. If he really angered his mother to death, wouldn’t he be unworthy of being a human?
“Honey,” Du Shanqiang hurried over and quickly comforted her, “There’s no need to be so worked up. I’ll make sure they know their place. Don’t worry.”
When Xue Daxi saw this, her heart turned even colder.
Du Hongguo’s heart ached, causing the tears to flow from her cheeks constantly. It was as if she and her mother would be trapped in this cage for the rest of their lives and would never be able to get out.
The old house was not cleaned up in the morning. After lunch, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others went to clean it up.
After another hour of tidying up, everything was finally done.
After she was done cleaning up, Liu Guixia helped to pat the dust off the two children’s bodies and asked, “When exactly is Master Gu coming? Did Mister Zhangs servants say anything?”
“He did. It will be around five later.” Xue Yan said. Seeing that the dust on his body had been wiped clean, he also helped Jiang Yue remove the dust.
If he didn’t clean up, he wouldn’t know how messy it was at this house. Once he cleaned up, everything looked more at place.
This was because no one had lived in the old house for a long time.
“That’s pretty soon.” Liu Guixia smiled. “Alright, alright, we’re done with everything here. Let’s go wash our hands.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both responded and then obediently followed Liu Guixia to wash their hands.
When the kids arrived, Xue Dafu and the others were already washing their hands.
After the two of them washed their hands, Liu Guixia took a towel and quickly dried them.
Then, Liu Guixia said to Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu, “Master Gu will be here soon.
Take Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the village entrance and wait for him.
Otherwise, when he comes, he won’t know where to go..”
