"Okay, put the child to sleep early."
Si Boyi glanced at the child on the bed and walked out of the room.
Not long after he stepped out, Si Xiaohui came out of the room. She picked up the phone to check the previous call number and immediately ran back into the room.
"Mom, I was right, big brother called back. You see, even for such a big thing, second brother won’t tell you anything. He clearly doesn’t consider you at all."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengying’s face suddenly turned pale. She struggled to get up, but it was even difficult for her to turn over after a lot of effort.
"Help me out quickly, I want to call and ask him, if he is waiting for me to die before he comes back to see me."
Si Xiaohui was a bit impatient, "Mom, why are you fussing? You should know that my elder brother used the public phone, what difference does it make to call back?"
Lin Fengying seemed to be drained of all her strength, appearing devoid of energy and vitality. She mumbled: "What’s the point of having so many children? I’m about to die, and he doesn’t even want to come back to see me. His education was a waste."
Si Xiaohui pursed her lips. With her mother’s energy, she reckoned she could live another ten or twenty years.
"It’s getting late. Go to sleep, I need to use the toilet." Si Xiaohui didn’t want to stay in the room. The smell was heavy during the summer because all kinds of things were done in this room. It was very unpleasant.
She should have set her wedding date earlier.
Si Xiaohui walked out of the house. It was a bit dark outside and she was slightly scared. However, thinking of Tong Yao sleeping soundly at the village head’s house, she was very uncomfortable. Since Tong Yao had presented herself, Si Xiaohui would not be polite.
Having grown up here, Si Xiaohui was familiar with the village. She quickly walked to the gate of the village head’s house. It was pitch dark in the yard, and she could see nothing. Only a little dog at the door ran over and barked at her, but it was kicked aside by her.
The village head’s couple were both at Gu Hongwei’s house, so it was estimated that only Tong Yao was in the house. Thinking this, Si Xiaohui bravely groped her way into the hall. As it was the end of the month, it was particularly dark without moonlight. Si Xiaohui was a bit scared and was initially thinking about scaring Tong Yao. But then she herself started getting anxious. She fumbled around and turned on the light, looking around the inner room, but she couldn’t find any trace of Tong Yao.
Could she still be at Gu Hongwei’s house?
As soon as she thought of this, Si Xiaohui became a little scared. Gu Hongwei’s father had died of sickness and he looked like a ghost before he died...
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Si Xiaohui didn’t even bother to turn off the light and ran out immediately. But just as she reached the gate, she saw two white figures at the gate, which seemed especially eerie in the dark night.
"Ah... Ghosts... Don’t kill me, don’t kill me..." Si Xiaohui screamed and quickly collapsed to the ground, hugging her head and shivering...
"With this kind of courage, you still dare to go out and scare people? Ridiculous!" Guo Jinnian sneered.
"Her courage is indeed not great, but she’s crafty!" Tong Yao said with a light floating tone.
Hearing the familiar voices, Si Xiaohui dared to raise her head and quickly recognized that the white figure in front of her eyes was Tong Yao. She angrily stood up and glared at Tong Yao, scolding her.
"Tong Yao, are you sick? Scaring people like a ghost in the middle of the night. People can be frightened to death, you know."
She was almost frightened to death just now, it was so terrible. Even now her legs still felt a bit weak.
"Who is to blame if you are timid?" Guo Jinnian retorted.
"I didn’t talk to you, it’s none of your business." Si Xiaohui glared at Guo Jinnian.
"You’d better watch your mouth and be polite. Jinnian practices martial arts and he can twist your neck with one hand." Tong Yao warned with a cold tone.
Si Xiaohui stepped back in fear, then remembered something and regained some courage, "You can’t intimidate me, my man sells pork. If you dare to bully me, he will come to skin you tomorrow."
"Oh, then I’ll knock out two of your teeth first."
Guo Jinnian raised his hand, and Si Xiaohui quickly stepped back in fear.
"Tong Yao, where did you find the heck of this shemale."
"Who are you calling shemale?" Guo Jinnian took two steps towards Si Xiaohui, scaring her so much that she sat directly on the ground. She felt something sticky on her hands, and when she smelled it, she immediately started retching.
She had actually pressed on dog poop. Si Xiaohui felt extremely nauseous, and she no longer had the strength to cause trouble. She stood up and ran home.
"Tsk tsk" Guo Jinnian shook his head, "Yaoyao, how can your husband have such an annoying sister? She’s so annoying that I want to hit her at the sight."
"The matter is a bit long. I can’t sleep anyway, let’s go in and talk slowly." Tong Yao led Guo Jinnian into the yard.
Just now Guo Jinnian had stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. As soon as the two of them came out of the toilet, they saw Si Xiaohui sneaking into the yard. Tong Yao knew that Si Xiaohui must have known that she was living here, so she came over to make trouble in the middle of the night. They didn’t intend to scare Si Xiaohui. It was her own guilty conscience.
"Quickly tell me what happened."
After entering the yard, Guo Jinnian quickly moved two stools over to listen to the gossip.
"This matter dates back to more than ten years ago, when my family had some dealings with theirs. At that time my dad was the factory manager of the steel factory, and Ahchen’s dad was a technician. Later, Ahchen’s dad lost his leg trying to save my dad..."
Tong Yao told all the things she knew, leaving Guo Jinnian astonished. She had never imagined that Tong Yao’s mother-in-law would have such a legendary story, and it was such an unbelievable one.
When she heard about Si Weimin being imprisoned and Lin Fengying becoming paralyzed, she almost applauded, this was retribution!
"No wonder Si Xiaohui is so annoying. Her parents are such lowly people, your husband is really fortunate not to have turned out like them."
"His brother also turned out fine, probably because of his father’s genes." Thinking of something, Tong Yao added, "I forgot to mention, I once heard that Si Weimin and Ahchen’s father were half-brothers with the same father but different mothers, but not many of the younger generation know about this."
"Usually you don’t seem to gossip much, but you know quite a lot of news!" Guo Jinnian loved to listen to these gossips when she couldn’t sleep. She elbowed Tong Yao, "Tell me a few more, anything about Gu Hongwei will do."
Tong Yao laughed and shook her head, "There’s no gossip about him. His family is small. If there is any gossip, it’s about his aunt, the one you saw today. She despises the Gu family for being poor and has long stopped interacting with them. She came today crying heart-wrenchingly about the deep bond between siblings, but I don’t know if she has any ulterior motives."
When a weasel pays a New Year call to a chicken, there’s usually an ulterior motive.
Judging from the words Gu’s aunt had used to criticize Gu Hongwei, it should be quite likely that she didn’t know that Gu Hongwei was involved in the business of the Breeding Farm.\
