Chapter 225: Chapter 225: No Beating Around the Bush_1
“Well said, if you can’t support a wife or child, then you’re not a man.” Yun’s father sighed, he had shared the same thoughts once.
Yun Shuang didn’t know what to say, because she understood clearly why her mother had let Hanhan bring Little Huzi back.
The house did feel quieter with fewer people, and everything fell into disarray after Hanhan left.
“After you returned to the military this time, will you come back for the Lunar New Year?” Yun’s father was thinking about the past few years when his son only returned because of his daughter-in-law. This year, as they were to accompany him to the military, he feared they wouldn’t return. However, he still held a sliver of hope that his son would come back with his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Yun Hao still remained indifferent, “I probably won’t come back.”
Yun Shuang knew Yun Hao’s temper and character.
Since he has a family to take care of, of course, he won’t come back.
Yun’s mother suddenly remembered something, “Did Hanhan’s godfather accompany you to the military as well?”
Yun’s father held his forehead and took a deep sigh, not understanding what his wife was talking about.
Yun Shuang gawked at her mother. The last time Yun Hao came back, she had picked up on her mother’s resentment towards Hanhan’s godfather from her words. However, she thought to herself that he had still helped out despite knowing that Ahao’s situation was uncertain.
Yun Hao looked deeply at his mother, “For now, he won’t be coming with us.”
Yun Hao was honest and straightforward. He would not mince words or say things just to sound pleasant.
A smile finally appeared on Yun’s mother’s face. As long as Old Zhao was not going, that was alright.
She was afraid that they would take Old Zhao with them to the military when they returned this time.
However, the smile on her face caused Yun Hao to glance over, although he didn’t say anything.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
“Ahao, once you are in the military, will you be assigned a house and some land?” If there’s no house, where will you stay?
If there’s no land, you’ll have to buy even the smallest bit of vegetables, which would be a huge expense. It might become financially difficult for Ahao with his salary alone.
“We’ll have a house and a small piece of land to grow some vegetables,” he replied.
The conversation could proceed on this topic.
“Will you have vegetable seeds? If not, take some when you go back.”
Yun’s father chimed in too, saying, “Yes, take a variety of vegetable seeds with you.” Read full story at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
The time flew by as the few of them chatted.
“Mother, let’s go to prepare dinner,” Yun Shuang saw that it was getting late and decided to start cooking.
Yun’s mother didn’t want to go, her son would leave tomorrow and she wanted to spend more time looking at him.
Moreover, she still held hope that her other two sons would come home as well.
“Old man, now that our third son has returned home, is it possible that… ”
Her words shocked Yun’s father, who interrupted quickly, “Go cook first. Let’s have chicken for dinner.”
All the recent talks in town revolved around the Yun family. The moment the Yun siblings returned, there would certainly be those who would tell their elder brothers. However, it had been so long and neither of them, as elder brothers, had visited. Did they still need invitations?
Did they still want the brotherly relationship they were barely maintaining?
Why couldn’t their mother understand this?
Haven’t they noticed that Yun Shuang had never mentioned this matter?
And yet their mother was still bringing this up.
“Big Sister, Mother, there’s no need to make dinner. I have something to do this afternoon, so I will leave now.” Yun Hao stood up and told Yun’s mother and Yun Shuang, with a blank expression on his face.
