Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Face Torn Apart_1
Father Yun comforted Mother Yun, “In a few days things will be a little better. She’s busy with housework during the day, washing clothes, caring for Little Huzi’s daily needs, and looking after Huzi. She’s feeding the pigs and collecting pig grass, nothing’s been missed.”
Though she’s not going to work, what the daughter-in-law is doing at home is no less strenuous than working. A basketful of pig grass couldn’t be harvested in less than half an hour, plus all the other chores, she must be rushed off her feet.
Mother Yun also knew her daughter-in-law was diligent, and if it were anyone else, they would have created a fuss by now. But she hadn’t. In the past few days since she returned, she had lost some more weight.
She was already skinny, and after Huzi’s incident, she’d thinned down significantly. On the other hand, Huzi, under Yunhan’s care, had regained a rosy complexion. If you didn’t pay attention, you could easily assume he was just fast asleep.
“Go to sleep darling, we have work tomorrow.”
Yet, Mother Yun couldn’t sleep.
Giving away so much money, she inevitably felt a tinge of reluctance.
After dividing the harvest, it was akin to giving away three to four years of their family’s crop yield.
In Yun Lei’s home.
“Shitou, you’ve been ignoring me for days now.”
Yun Lei closed his eyes, “Get some sleep, we have work tomorrow.”
Zhao Fang pouted, “Shitou, are you still mad at me? Wasn’t I thinking of our children’s future? Our son is already five years old. We need to save this money for his future marriage, don’t we?”
Yun Lei remained silent.
Zhao Fang went on, “Moreover, we don’t know when our third brother will wake up. Are we supposed to take care of his wife and son indefinitely?”
“Go to sleep.” Yun Lei turned his back on Zhao Fang.
In these past few days, his parents have been avoiding him. He knew that Huzi and Yunhan must have told them something. His parents probably knew about it all along, now that everything was out in the open. And his parents had already told Huzi and Yunhan that they want to live with them.
His parents must be disappointed in them too, right?
He knew that his wife was thinking about their own family, trying to secure a good future for their son, not wanting to be burdened by Huzi’s family.
He understood all of that.
But the words spoken that day here had truly torn away all pretence.
If Huzi doesn’t wake up, Yunhan would not be able to cause much trouble. But if Huzi does wake up and finds out what happened, their brotherhood might be broken.
If Meng Yunhan knew about Yun Lei’s thoughts, she would only scoff…
She would teach him a lesson: Never underestimate anyone. The slap in the face might come sooner or later.
Zhao Fang continued, “Shitou, please don’t be mad at me anymore, ok? You’ve been ignoring me these past two days.”
Yun Lei sighed, “Let’s sleep. What’s done is done. Yunhan will not forgive us.”
“Will Yunhan take Little Huzi and leave after this incident?”
How would Yun Lei know?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If Yunhan really did take Little Huzi away, or abandon Huzi and their own father, they would have no right to say anything anyway.
The confrontation had already happened.
Lately, their eldest brother has been frowning too. He knew that Yunhan must have complained to their eldest brother. Their eldest brother probably knew that it was his wife and Zhao Fang who instigated the whole thing. Considering his nature, he must be blaming himself!
Seeing Yun Lei still indifferent despite her pleadings, Zhao Fang stopped trying to appease him. She would never help Huzi’s family.
Even when the house was being built and Huzi had contributed money, that was Huzi’s folly. He did it willingly; it had nothing to do with her.
