Farming and Bend the National Husband
Chapter 93
"Dad—" Seeing Hu Rongcan, Hu Xinlei immediately changed her expression, she flattened her mouth, and called out with a very aggrieved look.
The ferocity on his face disappeared, replaced by a pitiful expression.Her father is her backbone, as long as he is there, she will not suffer or be wronged.
"What happened? You were so angry that you smashed your phone?" Hu Rongcan stood there without moving, with no expression on his face.
If it was before, as long as his daughter slapped her lips, he would have walked over in distress, put his arms around her shoulders and coaxed her to comfort her.
"It's not Cheng Xuehan, I didn't go home last night—" Hu Xinlei was still pretending to be pitiful at first, but seeing her father standing still, she seemed to be blaming herself, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, her eyes turned red.
"Just because of this?" Hu Rongcan's voice gradually became colder.
It's normal for an ambitious man to socialize and drink outside, and sometimes he can't go home drunk.As long as he doesn't run amok outside.
Or go back to their parents' house to accompany the elderly. Now they are only children and do not live with their parents. The two elderly people are alone at home. I also hope that they can go back and accompany them.
If she had to smash the phone to vent the fire because of such a trivial matter, no matter how much money the family had, it would not be enough for her to waste it like this.
"Is this not enough?" Hu Xinlei suddenly became angry for some reason. "This country bumpkin, who does he think he is? How dare you leave me alone at home and go out to drink and have fun—"
Maybe it was the phone call from my mother yesterday, which made her feel terrified and uneasy since then. Naturally, she didn't sleep well at night, and her spirit was very poor.
Now I find that the matter is not as serious as I imagined, and her husband's behavior has touched the bottom line of her arrogance, making her emotionally rebound and out of control, and now in front of her closest father, all the ugly sides of her personality , all burst out.
"Just for this reason?" Hu Rongcan walked straight in front of her, stared into her daughter's eyes, and asked again.
"Dad, which side are you on?" Hu Xinlei's attitude towards her father was a little strange, but she was used to being lawless, and she didn't take it to heart, instead she hugged his arm and became coquettish.
With a sound of "pa—" without warning, Hu Rongcan slapped his daughter's face across the face.
Hu Xinlei was dumbfounded by her father's slap in the face. Since she was a child, her father has always regarded herself as a sweetheart, let alone slapping, and would not bear to say serious words. On the contrary, it is her mother who sometimes gets angry and scolds herself severely.
"Why did you hit me—" Hu Xinlei looked at him as if she didn't know Hu Rongcan, she stared at him for a long time, then she seemed to come back, and suddenly raised her head, with a violent expression on her face With a look on his face, he yelled at his father.
"What I regret most now is that I didn't discipline you well when you were a child—" Hu Rongcan said with a livid face and gritted his teeth.
The expression on the daughter's face, apart from resentment and tyranny, can't find the slightest guilt and self-blame. When encountering things that don't suit her, she just blames others and never knows how to find reasons from herself?With such a woman, which man would want to be with her?
No wonder they had so many conflicts after only half a year of marriage with their son-in-law.It's no wonder that their husband and wife seldom go back to their natal home with He Meimei.
"Dad—" Hu Xinlei was frightened by her father's appearance.
"Do you think that you are so great that you can throw your five-to-6000-yuan mobile phone to vent your anger? If you don't like it, you can swear at others?" Hu Rongcan asked, staring at his daughter with bloodshot eyes.
"I didn't, Dad—" Hu Xinlei became a little timid.
"Do you know that all your enjoyment and face are all because of your father, drinking with others outside every day, pretending to be his grandson—" Hu Rongcan shouted, pointing at his daughter.
I used to get used to it before, and I don’t think there is any problem with this. Now I calm down and think about it, I feel more and more worthless for myself. If his daughter is smart and sensible, he is willing to give, but this person in front of him is not like a girl with a normal mind ?
It turned out that the result of his own hard work was to cultivate a daughter who was mentally abnormal. How could this make him feel embarrassed?
"Dad—" Hu Xinlei was a little frightened by her father's abnormal attitude.
"It's all right now. I don't have to pretend to be a grandson anymore. The factory is going to close down. Are you satisfied?" Hu Rongcan suddenly felt disheartened thinking about the problems the factory was facing.
"Dad, what happened to the factory? Why did it close for no reason?" Hu Xinlei was terrified. If the factory really closed, she would have to find a job and live a poor life. mean?
"Didn't you provoke it yourself?" Hu Rongcan stared at his daughter, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"No, I just heard that when he was in the Shanghai stock market, he lived with Cheng Xuehan for seven years, and he was so angry that Xiao Wei scolded him." Hu Xinlei said anxiously.
Seeing that she didn't even ask, her daughter confessed, and Hu Rongcan finally figured out that this disaster was really caused by her daughter.
"You're an idiot! That's also about Cheng Xuehan and him, what does it have to do with you?" Hu Rongcan calmed down after hearing the answer, and scolded unceremoniously: "He is not as noble as you, so I have to bear with you scold?"
"Dad, I was wrong." Seeing that her father's tone was a little loose, Hu Xinlei breathed a sigh of relief.
"To the point, how did you know about this? And how did you do it?" Hu Rongcan shouted bitterly.
"I overheard Cheng Xuehan calling, and heard that he lived with a man for seven years in the Shanghai stock market—" Hu Xinlei didn't hide any more, and told Hu Rongcan the whole process.
After listening to his daughter, he didn't make a sound, thinking quickly in his mind.
Hu Rongcan didn't take it into his heart that the other party was gay or something. This was his private matter and had nothing to do with him.
What he paid attention to was what his son-in-law said to his daughter, and that was the focus of his attention: that man was an orphan, but the identities of his friends were not simple.
In other words, it was his friends who were venting their anger on him and making trouble for them.
Thinking of this, Hu Rongcan frowned and sat down, thinking about how to solve this trouble.
As an old fox who has been fighting in the mall for more than 20 years, his IQ may not be as good as that of today's highly educated young people, but he must be much more skilled in human relations than young people. He knows that to solve this matter, he still needs to find Wen Yue. young people.
As long as he can open his mouth to accept his apology and persuade his friend to stop, then his friend will definitely not be entangled in this matter anymore.
For some reason, he always had a feeling that things might not be that simple?
But I couldn't find any other useful information to prove my feeling, so I asked my daughter some details, and I had to give up when I saw that there were indeed no omissions.
This matter needs to be resolved immediately. He braced his tired body, stood up and walked out. After thinking for a while, he turned back and warned his daughter: "You are not allowed to go anywhere these days? Stay at home and don't conflict with anyone, otherwise If something goes wrong, no one can save you."
"Got it, Dad." Hu Xinlei said obediently.
Seeing that her biggest backer was also annoyed by her and even beat herself, Hu Xinlei was afraid and regretted, so she became more honest.
※※※
How to find that person named Wen Yue is still a problem?
When he confides this trouble to an old friend, his old friend's son overhears him, and it's easy to say.
My friend's son works in a mobile communication company and has the authority to view the communication records of a number. As long as he contacts the contact person of the other party and uses a little tricks, he can deceive the specific location of the number owner.
After a while, the friend's son handed over a specific address to him.Seeing that the problem was solved, Hu Rongcan thanked him repeatedly.

The family is going to make zongzi today, which is considered a relatively important event for every family, so Xia Jiusheng and Wen Yue are all on the sidelines to help.
Xia's mother soaked the glutinous rice when she woke up in the morning, and washed it carefully in the water. After more than three hours of soaking, the rice has swelled and looks white and plump.Pour the washed rice into the basket, drain the water, and put it on the table.
Pour the rice washing water into the large pot on the stove, heat it hot, put the zong leaves in, soak them for a while, then use a dishcloth to scrub the both sides of the soaked zong leaves carefully, take them out and put them On the table, as for the string to tie the zongzi, I have already bought it.In the past, hemp ropes were made by hand, but now everyone is used to buying them in stores.
In previous years, the family had no money, so there were not many varieties of zongzi, usually white rice dumplings or bean dumplings. Today, the family prepared a lot of flavors.
In several large bowls on the table, one contained diced salted egg yolk, one contained thinly sliced bacon, one contained cubed pork belly, one contained red bean puree, and one contained Peeled red dates, one filled with peanuts, the common taste in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, almost all are prepared.
An'an and Ah Fu can only join in the fun and can't help much. Xia's father and Xia Jiusheng can also make bags, but after cooking, they tend to loosen and look unsightly, so they mainly rely on Xia's mother.
Making zongzi is a technical job, especially when tying the rope, one end must be bitten in the mouth, and the other end is wrapped around the zongzi.
What was surprising was that Wen Yue was able to wrap herself in a decent way. Just by looking at her appearance, she was not much different from Mama Xia.
This way the speed is much faster. Mother Xia has prepared more than 40 catties of rice and is going to make more than 100 rice dumplings. It will take a few hours for one person to make rice dumplings. With Wen Yue's help, it will be finished before lunch.
So they put it into the big pot in the stove and boiled it. Father Xia had already moved the firewood chopped yesterday to the stove, and lit the fire vigorously. The whole kitchen was surrounded by hot steam, and it felt like the room was getting warmer.
After lunch, the family started to kill chickens again. This is usually done by Xia's mother. Xia Jiusheng is soft-hearted, and often her mother avoids it before the knife is done.
This time, ten roosters were slaughtered at home. After they are cooked, they will be cut into large pieces. Half will be soaked in distiller's lees, and the other half will be soaked in the unique shrimp oil in my hometown. It's ready to be sliced and served on a plate.
The whole family likes this taste. It tastes a bit like the drunk chicken we bought, but it is more delicious. In the past, when the family celebrates the Chinese New Year, they will also soak a little bit. Usually it is used for entertaining guests. Only when the ancestors are invited on the [-]th, the mother will be generous. Cut out a plate, and after inviting the ancestors, let everyone eat one or two pieces, and the rest will be poured back into the jar to continue soaking.
Therefore, the bad stewed vegetables at home tend to become saltier the more they eat, because they are reluctant to eat and are afraid of spoiling, so they often put more salt.Unlike rich people, they eat it early after tasting it, and then go to the market to buy chicken and soak it again.
It suddenly occurred to me that in the gift that Uncle Huang sent last time, there was a large package of cream crabs, which he put in the refrigerator to freeze. Today is almost the day, but I took it out and soaked it in salt water.
Soy cream crab is really the top delicacy of the locals, but unfortunately it is too expensive. It costs 80 yuan to buy a catty of fresh ones. It costs more than 50 yuan to put a large one on a plate. I have never bought it at home before. Pass.
The first time I ate it was when my family went to my aunt's house in Yongcheng. My aunt took it out to entertain them and ate it twice.
In the future, the high-end banquets here will also start to use it as a fixed cold dish. Unfortunately, there are very few owners who are willing to spend money to buy good crabs.

When Hu Rongcan drove into Xiajiazhuang, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
Is such a remote place the home of Wen Yue?
Compared with Cicheng, Yucheng is still a bit weaker economically. What's more, Zhangtang Town is the most remote place in Yu. Except for a few families, new houses have been built, and there is a new rural atmosphere. People, the house was built 2000 years ago, and now it looks very old.
This time, Hu Rongcan drove here by himself, without bringing anyone else.Naturally, the less people know about this kind of shameful thing, the better.
I asked the villagers for directions, but many of them didn't know who Wen Yue was, and finally asked the village committee Xia Jiuhao, who knew the name of Xia Jiusheng's old man, so he showed him the way.
The car drove to the door of Xia Jiusheng's house, and seeing that there was only one family here, Hu Rongcan was secretly relieved.
It's good that there is no one around, I'm afraid that rural people like to watch the excitement, if there is a dispute at that time, too many people will be watching, and I will be ashamed.
"Is Mr. Wen Yue at home?" Hu Rongcan called after parking the car at the door, knocking on the iron gate in front of the yard.
"Wen Yue, it seems that someone is looking for you?" Xia Jiusheng said to Wen Yue when he heard the movement in the room.
It’s Chinese New Year, and the house is more lively, so the TV is turned on a bit loudly, CCTV is showing a variety show, and the host is doing his best to sensationalize it there. The laughter made the scene even more atmospheric.
Xia Jiusheng has good hearing, so he can clearly hear any sounds outside.
"I'll go and open the door." When An An heard it, she naturally had no doubts about it, so she hurriedly jumped off the sofa and ran into the yard.
Opening the door, seeing a strange old man standing outside, An An asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
"Is this Mr. Wen Yue's home?" Hu Rongcan was a little confused about the child's identity.Since Wen Yue is gay, she should not have a son, and this boy should be ten years old, and Wen Yue is only around thirty, so it is impossible to have such an old child.
"Are you looking for my brother? Then come in." Hearing that he was looking for Wen Yue, An An shouted without doubting his identity.
"Thank you, little brother." Hu Rongcan heard that he was called Brother Wen Yue, made sure that he had found the right place, and followed An An into the house.
※※※
When Wen Yue heard that he was looking for her, she came out of the living room and greeted her. Seeing that it was a strange man who was about the same age as her father, she was taken aback and asked suspiciously: "Who are you? What are you looking for? thing?"
Hu Rongcan looked at Wen Yue curiously. A man who can live with his son-in-law for seven years must not be too bad in all aspects?Seeing that Wen Yue has a bookish air, speaks softly and decently, and can't find even a trace of makeup on her body, she can't help being secretly surprised.
Such a man is actually gay?This completely overturned his cognition.
In his impression, homosexual men are very feminine, with charming eyes, effeminate movements, affectation, or high-pitched voices, and like to hold their throats when they speak. Who would have thought that this man would have none of these problems?
But the other party lives in such a rural place, the house is old, and his knowledge must be limited, so he naturally looks down on them.
"Are you Mr. Wen Yue? I'm here to accompany you today—" Hu Rongcan lowered his head, not forgetting the purpose of this trip, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"You and I don't know each other, what's the crime?" Wen Yue already had a guess in her heart, but she didn't say it, she said coldly.
He was scolded for no reason that day, and he was really angry.
Although he has been used to swallowing his anger these years, it is because he is forced by life and has no choice.Although he has a good temper, he is not a person who is bullied and abused for nothing, not to mention that he is not working in the company now, and he no longer has to look at other people's faces to eat, and he has no reason to suffer that kind of idleness.
Besides, after living with Xia Jiusheng for a period of time, under his influence, his personality has become much stronger.
"What did you mean by that just now?" Xia Jiusheng came out of the living room and asked coldly.
He is not as good-tempered as Wen Yue, and when he heard that he was here to accompany the crime, he immediately looked ugly.
It was because he couldn't get angry that Nie Zhengcheng made trouble for the other party and wanted them to let go, unless the other party made a gesture that he felt could be forgiven.
"You are?" Seeing Xia Jiusheng's appearance, Hu Rongcan immediately became worried, and asked pretending to be calm.
The boy in front of him is not like Wen Yue, Wen Yue looks like a gentleman in ancient times, you can use words to make him feel ashamed to pursue too much for the sake of face.And this boy seems to be the kind of person who can let go of his face for the sake of his purpose. Your words are the best, and the other party probably won't take it to heart.
"Don't worry about it, you just need to tell me what you are here for?" Xia Jiusheng hated this kind of person with flickering eyes, who seemed very sophisticated and slick at first glance.
"A few days ago, my daughter listened to other people's instigation and called to offend Mr. Wen. Today, I came here on behalf of my daughter to accompany the crime. I hope that Mr. Wen will spare her once." Hu Rongcan knew that he couldn't avoid it, and apologized very bachelorly.
"Hehe, it's so easy to say." Xia Jiusheng laughed at his shamelessness. "Listen to someone's instigation? Is Wen Yue familiar with you? Is there a conflict of interest with you? Are you deliberately provoking conflicts between you and him? So that he can benefit from it?"
"This—" Hu Rongcan realized that he was too naive. This boy is not the kind of simple-minded person. His own words cannot withstand scrutiny and have too many loopholes. No wonder he doesn't believe it.
"Let's go." Xia Jiusheng waved his hand, too lazy to continue talking to him. "You are at this age, and you should understand the truth. Once you do something, you have to bear the consequences. Don't think that if you have a little money, you can have nothing to worry about."
"Mr. Wen—please be generous and give the little girl a chance, she knows she's wrong." Hu Rongcan shouted unwillingly: "Besides, you can make any compensation you want, as long as we can—"
"Are you sure you don't want to leave?" Xia Jiusheng was angry. "Do you want to make things bigger and more difficult to end?"
Up to now, this person has no sincerity at all, and has lightly shifted the responsibility to others, as if all the faults are others, and they are also victims.
Xia Jiusheng really hates people like this when they can't be fooled and want to pay some money to solve the problem.
It's no wonder that his precious daughter dared to do everything without any taboos. She didn't even care who Wen Yue was, so she called to harass her.
Wen Yue was next to her, and she was a bit soft-hearted at first, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, her daughter committed a crime, and she asked her father in his 50s to throw down his face and come to apologize.So I wanted to persuade the master to forget it, but after listening to the master argue with the other party for a few words, I found that the other party was really like the master said, without any sincerity at all, and my heart hardened again.
"Mr. Wen——" Hu Rongcan saw the change in Wen Yue's expression, panicked, rushed in front of Wen Yue, and knelt down.
"Get out—" Xia Jiusheng didn't know what he was thinking, was he planning to play a rascal because he couldn't persuade them?
Wen Yue's chest was also heaving with anger from his actions, okay!It's really the Snake and Mouse family. Cheng Xuehan, a despicable and shameless villain, is looking for a wife who is pampered and arrogant.
Seeing the master grabbing the man by the neck, ignoring his struggle, and throwing him out of the yard directly, Wen Yue felt relieved.
※※※
Hu Rongcan was locked outside the iron door. He pushed the door hard, but found that it couldn't be opened, and patted it a few more times. Seeing that there was no movement, he finally panicked.
Over the years, I have become much smarter, and it has become a habit. I didn't expect that this time I would be self-defeating and mess things up.
what to do?He walked around the door of Xia Jiusheng's house a few times, thinking quickly about countermeasures.
Judging by the house he lives in, he doesn't look like a rich man, so what is the identity of his friends?
You must know that many people in Cicheng have their eyes high above the top, and they can make them succumb. They are definitely not ordinary people who come to make trouble for themselves. If you fight against him by yourself, you can only die.
By the way, go back and discuss it with your son-in-law. He has been with Wen Yue for so long, so he should know his life circle.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, returned to the car, and drove to the house of his son-in-law in Cicheng.
The ferocity on his face disappeared, replaced by a pitiful expression.Her father is her backbone, as long as he is there, she will not suffer or be wronged.
"What happened? You were so angry that you smashed your phone?" Hu Rongcan stood there without moving, with no expression on his face.
If it was before, as long as his daughter slapped her lips, he would have walked over in distress, put his arms around her shoulders and coaxed her to comfort her.
"It's not Cheng Xuehan, I didn't go home last night—" Hu Xinlei was still pretending to be pitiful at first, but seeing her father standing still, she seemed to be blaming herself, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, her eyes turned red.
"Just because of this?" Hu Rongcan's voice gradually became colder.
It's normal for an ambitious man to socialize and drink outside, and sometimes he can't go home drunk.As long as he doesn't run amok outside.
Or go back to their parents' house to accompany the elderly. Now they are only children and do not live with their parents. The two elderly people are alone at home. I also hope that they can go back and accompany them.
If she had to smash the phone to vent the fire because of such a trivial matter, no matter how much money the family had, it would not be enough for her to waste it like this.
"Is this not enough?" Hu Xinlei suddenly became angry for some reason. "This country bumpkin, who does he think he is? How dare you leave me alone at home and go out to drink and have fun—"
Maybe it was the phone call from my mother yesterday, which made her feel terrified and uneasy since then. Naturally, she didn't sleep well at night, and her spirit was very poor.
Now I find that the matter is not as serious as I imagined, and her husband's behavior has touched the bottom line of her arrogance, making her emotionally rebound and out of control, and now in front of her closest father, all the ugly sides of her personality , all burst out.

This time, ten roosters were slaughtered at home. After they are cooked, they will be cut into large pieces. Half will be soaked in distiller's lees, and the other half will be soaked in the unique shrimp oil in my hometown. It's ready to be sliced and served on a plate.
The whole family likes this taste. It tastes a bit like the drunk chicken we bought, but it is more delicious. In the past, when the family celebrates the Chinese New Year, they will also soak a little bit. Usually it is used for entertaining guests. Only when the ancestors are invited on the [-]th, the mother will be generous. Cut out a plate, and after inviting the ancestors, let everyone eat one or two pieces, and the rest will be poured back into the jar to continue soaking.
Therefore, the bad stewed vegetables at home tend to become saltier the more they eat, because they are reluctant to eat and are afraid of spoiling, so they often put more salt.Unlike rich people, they eat it early after tasting it, and then go to the market to buy chicken and soak it again.
It suddenly occurred to me that in the gift that Uncle Huang sent last time, there was a large package of cream crabs, which he put in the refrigerator to freeze. Today is almost the day, but I took it out and soaked it in salt water.
Soy cream crab is really the top delicacy of the locals, but unfortunately it is too expensive. It costs 80 yuan to buy a catty of fresh ones. It costs more than 50 yuan to put a large one on a plate. I have never bought it at home before. Pass.
The first time I ate it was when my family went to my aunt's house in Yongcheng. My aunt took it out to entertain them and ate it twice.
In the future, the high-end banquets here will also start to use it as a fixed cold dish. Unfortunately, there are very few owners who are willing to spend money to buy good crabs.

When Hu Rongcan drove into Xiajiazhuang, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
Is such a remote place the home of Wen Yue?
Compared with Cicheng, Yucheng is still a bit weaker economically. What's more, Zhangtang Town is the most remote place in Yu. Except for a few families, new houses have been built, and there is a new rural atmosphere. People, the house was built 2000 years ago, and now it looks very old.
This time, Hu Rongcan drove here by himself, without bringing anyone else.Naturally, the less people know about this kind of shameful thing, the better.
I asked the villagers for directions, but many of them didn't know who Wen Yue was, and finally asked the village committee Xia Jiuhao, who knew the name of Xia Jiusheng's old man, so he showed him the way.
The car drove to the door of Xia Jiusheng's house, and seeing that there was only one family here, Hu Rongcan was secretly relieved.
It's good that there is no one around, I'm afraid that rural people like to watch the excitement, if there is a dispute at that time, too many people will be watching, and I will be ashamed.
"Is Mr. Wen Yue at home?" Hu Rongcan called after parking the car at the door, knocking on the iron gate in front of the yard.
"Wen Yue, it seems that someone is looking for you?" Xia Jiusheng said to Wen Yue when he heard the movement in the room.
It’s Chinese New Year, and the house is more lively, so the TV is turned on a bit loudly, CCTV is showing a variety show, and the host is doing his best to sensationalize it there. The laughter made the scene even more atmospheric.
Xia Jiusheng has good hearing, so he can clearly hear any sounds outside.
"I'll go and open the door." When An An heard it, she naturally had no doubts about it, so she hurriedly jumped off the sofa and ran into the yard.
Opening the door, seeing a strange old man standing outside, An An asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
"Is this Mr. Wen Yue's home?" Hu Rongcan was a little confused about the child's identity.Since Wen Yue is gay, she should not have a son, and this boy should be ten years old, and Wen Yue is only around thirty, so it is impossible to have such an old child.
"Are you looking for my brother? Then come in." Hearing that he was looking for Wen Yue, An An shouted without doubting his identity.
"Thank you, little brother." Hu Rongcan heard that he was called Brother Wen Yue, made sure that he had found the right place, and followed An An into the house.
※※※
When Wen Yue heard that he was looking for her, she came out of the living room and greeted her. Seeing that it was a strange man who was about the same age as her father, she was taken aback and asked suspiciously: "Who are you? What are you looking for? thing?"
Hu Rongcan looked at Wen Yue curiously. A man who can live with his son-in-law for seven years must not be too bad in all aspects?Seeing that Wen Yue has a bookish air, speaks softly and decently, and can't find even a trace of makeup on her body, she can't help being secretly surprised.
Such a man is actually gay?This completely overturned his cognition.
In his impression, homosexual men are very feminine, with charming eyes, effeminate movements, affectation, or high-pitched voices, and like to hold their throats when they speak. Who would have thought that this man would have none of these problems?
But the other party lives in such a rural place, the house is old, and his knowledge must be limited, so he naturally looks down on them.
"Are you Mr. Wen Yue? I'm here to accompany you today—" Hu Rongcan lowered his head, not forgetting the purpose of this trip, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"You and I don't know each other, what's the crime?" Wen Yue already had a guess in her heart, but she didn't say it, she said coldly.
He was scolded for no reason that day, and he was really angry.
Although he has been used to swallowing his anger these years, it is because he is forced by life and has no choice.Although he has a good temper, he is not a person who is bullied and abused for nothing, not to mention that he is not working in the company now, and he no longer has to look at other people's faces to eat, and he has no reason to suffer that kind of idleness.
Besides, after living with Xia Jiusheng for a period of time, under his influence, his personality has become much stronger.
"What did you mean by that just now?" Xia Jiusheng came out of the living room and asked coldly.
He is not as good-tempered as Wen Yue, and when he heard that he was here to accompany the crime, he immediately looked ugly.
It was because he couldn't get angry that Nie Zhengcheng made trouble for the other party and wanted them to let go, unless the other party made a gesture that he felt could be forgiven.
"You are?" Seeing Xia Jiusheng's appearance, Hu Rongcan immediately became worried, and asked pretending to be calm.
The boy in front of him is not like Wen Yue, Wen Yue looks like a gentleman in ancient times, you can use words to make him feel ashamed to pursue too much for the sake of face.And this boy seems to be the kind of person who can let go of his face for the sake of his purpose. Your words are the best, and the other party probably won't take it to heart.
"Don't worry about it, you just need to tell me what you are here for?" Xia Jiusheng hated this kind of person with flickering eyes, who seemed very sophisticated and slick at first glance.
"A few days ago, my daughter listened to other people's instigation and called to offend Mr. Wen. Today, I came here on behalf of my daughter to accompany the crime. I hope that Mr. Wen will spare her once." Hu Rongcan knew that he couldn't avoid it, and apologized very bachelorly.
"Hehe, it's so easy to say." Xia Jiusheng laughed at his shamelessness. "Listen to someone's instigation? Is Wen Yue familiar with you? Is there a conflict of interest with you? Are you deliberately provoking conflicts between you and him? So that he can benefit from it?"
"This—" Hu Rongcan realized that he was too naive. This boy is not the kind of simple-minded person. His own words cannot withstand scrutiny and have too many loopholes. No wonder he doesn't believe it.
"Let's go." Xia Jiusheng waved his hand, too lazy to continue talking to him. "You are at this age, and you should understand the truth. Once you do something, you have to bear the consequences. Don't think that if you have a little money, you can have nothing to worry about."
"Mr. Wen—please be generous and give the little girl a chance, she knows she's wrong." Hu Rongcan shouted unwillingly: "Besides, you can make any compensation you want, as long as we can—"
"Are you sure you don't want to leave?" Xia Jiusheng was angry. "Do you want to make things bigger and more difficult to end?"
Up to now, this person has no sincerity at all, and has lightly shifted the responsibility to others, as if all the faults are others, and they are also victims.
Xia Jiusheng really hates people like this when they can't be fooled and want to pay some money to solve the problem.
It's no wonder that his precious daughter dared to do everything without any taboos. She didn't even care who Wen Yue was, so she called to harass her.
Wen Yue was next to her, and she was a bit soft-hearted at first, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, her daughter committed a crime, and she asked her father in his 50s to throw down his face and come to apologize.So I wanted to persuade the master to forget it, but after listening to the master argue with the other party for a few words, I found that the other party was really like the master said, without any sincerity at all, and my heart hardened again.
"Mr. Wen——" Hu Rongcan saw the change in Wen Yue's expression, panicked, rushed in front of Wen Yue, and knelt down.
"Get out—" Xia Jiusheng didn't know what he was thinking, was he planning to play a rascal because he couldn't persuade them?
Wen Yue's chest was also heaving with anger from his actions, okay!It's really the Snake and Mouse family. Cheng Xuehan, a despicable and shameless villain, is looking for a wife who is pampered and arrogant.
Seeing the master grabbing the man by the neck, ignoring his struggle, and throwing him out of the yard directly, Wen Yue felt relieved.
※※※
Hu Rongcan was locked outside the iron door. He pushed the door hard, but found that it couldn't be opened, and patted it a few more times. Seeing that there was no movement, he finally panicked.
Over the years, I have become much smarter, and it has become a habit. I didn't expect that this time I would be self-defeating and mess things up.
what to do?He walked around the door of Xia Jiusheng's house a few times, thinking quickly about countermeasures.
Judging by the house he lives in, he doesn't look like a rich man, so what is the identity of his friends?
You must know that many people in Cicheng have their eyes high above the top, and they can make them succumb. They are definitely not ordinary people who come to make trouble for themselves. If you fight against him by yourself, you can only die.
By the way, go back and discuss it with your son-in-law. He has been with Wen Yue for so long, so he should know his life circle.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, returned to the car, and drove to the house of his son-in-law in Cicheng.
