Chapter 47: Don’t Get Mad
Soon, Xue Dabao helped Xue Da with his walking stick. The old man’s face was ashen, and his body was trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Xue Yan quickly went over to help him up, “Grandpa.”
“What a good child.” Xue Da patted him. “Your fourth aunt is a piece of trash. She’s really a piece of trash.” Then, he shouted at Zhang Meili, “Shame on you!”
Zhang Meili, who was still lying on the ground, trembled when she heard this. She tilted her head and looked at Xue Da timidly, “Father…”
Her man was not a good man, but he was extremely filial. As long as her father-in-law spoke, her man would definitely deal with her and make her suffer.
“Get lost!” Xue Da only said one word.
Zhang Meili immediately ran away, not daring to make a scene again.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
Xue Da tried his best to calm himself down before smiling at the crowd, “There is nothing more to see here. Disperse.”
“Go back, all of you, go back.” Liu Guixia also said.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, Xue Yan saw his fourth uncle, Xue Dagui, rushing back from the fields in high spirits. He was heading in the direction of his house, and behind him was ten-year-old Xue Gouzi.
Xue Gouzi was skinny and had a weak and timid appearance.
Xue Da saw it too, and his old face immediately turned green.
Xue Dagui’s steps were light and quick, as if he had struck it rich. Who would have thought that before he reached his third brother’s house, he would see his father instead of his wife? He roughly understood what was going on, so he turned around and planned to run.
“Get over here!” Xue Da’s voice was like a loudspeaker.
Xue Dagui could only stop in his tracks and come over with a smile. “Father.”
“Grandpa.” Xue Gouzi also called out in a low voice.
“The blind bear was clearly beaten up by Wufu after they separated from Zhuzi and the others. It was him alone, but your wife insisted that Zhuzi also had a part in it and wanted to split the money… Tell me the truth!” Xue Da slammed his walking stick on the ground. “Was it you who gave in?”
“I’m in the wrong, father!” Xue Dagui immediately shouted. “I was called back by Gouzi. Gouzi told me that it was Meili who called me back. She said that Zhuzi and the others had beaten up the blind bear and asked me to come back to keep an eye on the blind bear seller. Father, you have to believe me!”
“So it was your wife.”
“It must be, it must be.” Xue Dagui nodded his head vigorously.
“Then you should discipline your wife properly. Don’t always let others see you as a joke. Do you know how embarrassing it was for us when she caused a scene in front of so many people?”
“Father, did I anger you?” Xue Dagui immediately became nervous. He hurriedly came forward and patted his father’s back, as if he was trying to soothe his father’s breathing. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll take care of her when we get back. She’s been too much lately. You’re my father. How dare she make you suffer!”
Xue Da felt much better. No matter how bad his son was, he had one good thing, which was filial piety.
Xue Yan’s expression was normal, but he was clear in her heart. Whether it was in his past life or now, the only redeeming thing about his fourth uncle was that he was especially good to his grandfather.
His grandfather also had this son in his heart. Thus, in his previous life, even if his fourth uncle always asked for something shamelessly, as long as it was not too out of line, he did not argue with him.
However, Zhang Meili, his fourth aunt, was different. There was also Xue Zhuzi’s cousin. In his previous life, after his fourth uncle’s accidental death, no one could suppress them anymore. They didn’t care about the family at all. In the end, they were even bribed by someone and framed him for cheating in the exam. He was locked up in prison, and his grandfather died of anger.
