Chapter 821: The first meal in the city, the blind He Xiao
Chapter 821: The first meal in the city, the blind He Xiao
After a day of sightseeing, He Yuzhu brought Mu Qing and others back to the courtyard in Lingjing Hutong, which was the new home assigned to He Yuzhu by the organization.
As soon as I got home, Hao Chunlan and Lou Xiaoe came to greet me.
"Yuzhu, sister Qing, you're back, hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner."
He Yuzhu nodded and went straight to the sink.
After the two of them left, Hao Chunlan and Lou Xiao'e both showed extremely dissatisfied expressions on their faces. After all, in their opinion, it was Mu Qing who stole the love of their husband He Yuzhu.
..........................
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the family was eating around the round table. Since He Yuzhu was currently very well off financially, their dinner was quite sumptuous.
Stir-fried bacon, braised pork, steamed Chinese sausage, baby cabbage in soup..........
Any one of them taken out alone would be a delicacy that ordinary people can only eat during the Chinese New Year.
But in He Yuzhu's eyes, this was a very ordinary home-cooked meal. After all, compared with the bird's nest, shark's fin, sea cucumber and abalone belly in 97 cities, this was already relatively poor.
As for the food conditions, He Yuzhu, Hao Chunlan and the others had all lived a hard life after all, so even though the dishes had changed, they didn't say anything, as long as they were edible.
But He Xiao, who was usually spoiled and used to fine clothes and delicious food, suddenly couldn't help but say,
"Dad, I want to eat pork belly and shark fin soup. This sausage is so hard to chew. I have no appetite at all."
As soon as He Xiao said this, he instantly attracted everyone's attention, including He Yuzhu's.
He Yuzhu stared at He Xiao with a bad look on his face and was about to scold him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, spoke up and stopped He Xiao.
"Ah Xiao, what's wrong with you? I taught you to eat different dishes. Now we are in City 49, and the conditions are not as good as overseas. You have to learn to adapt. Be good and be obedient!"
Originally, He Xiao only needed to follow Lou Xiao'e's instructions, but perhaps because he was spoiled, he put the bowl down heavily.
"No, I just want to eat shark fins. This sausage is not for human consumption. And this stir-fried pork is so disgusting that even dogs won't eat it. I want to eat what the chef makes."
He Xiao's words made Hao Chunlan, who was in charge of cooking, look slightly unhappy, because what he had just said was in fact a slap in his face.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Lou Xiao'e were currently in an alliance, she, as the older woman, would have to scold her.
But she could bear it, but He Yuzhu, as the head of the He family, could not bear it and immediately scolded He Xiao.
"How dare you! He Xiao, you little bastard, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that the dishes your aunt cooks are for dogs to eat? Do you mean that all of us sitting here are dogs?
You little bastard, you climb up the roof and tear off the tiles if you don't get a beating for three days. You are so old, but you are not even as good as your brother He Ze. Do you think he is picky about food? You, as a brother, are too unreasonable.
I ask you, do you still want to eat this meal?"
Faced with He Yuzhu's scolding, He Xiao didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lou Xiao'e on the side nudged He Xiao with her elbow, giving him crazy hints, because as long as He Xiao followed He Yuzhu's steps down, there would basically be no problem.
Unfortunately, He Xiao is a rebellious person at this age. He ignored Lou Xiao'e's hints and insisted on confronting his father He Yuzhu to the end.
"No, I'm right. I just want to eat shark fin. I just don't understand why our family would run here to suffer instead of staying in City 97..."
Before He Xiao could finish his words, He Yuzhu could no longer hold back and started cursing again.
"Shut up, you rebellious son. If I don't beat you to death today, I will call you daddy from now on."
After saying that, He Yuzhu flashed to He Xiao's side and picked him up with one hand as if he was picking up a chicken.
Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, was eager to protect her child. She immediately grabbed He Yuzhu's hand and tried her best to persuade him, "Yuzhu, Xiao, he is still young and doesn't understand things. Please forgive him this time. I will teach him well."
When He Yuzhu heard what Lou Xiao'e said, he sneered on the spot.
"Hehe... people used to say that loving mothers often spoil their children. Now it seems to be true. If you hadn't spoiled him and given him this bad habit, how could he have been so rebellious today?
Now that he dares to behave so outrageously at home, he might use my name, He Yuzhu, to bully men and women outside. I think it is better to deal with such a scourge as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the reputation of our He family!"
When Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu's expression, she realized that he was not pretending but was really ready to do it, which made her feel uneasy.
She knew that if she couldn't protect He Xiao today, then her son would be really finished, because she had never seen He Yuzhu so angry.
"Yuzhu, he is your son, not an outsider. You keep saying that it is the mother's fault if the son is not well educated. Then let me ask you, in the past ten years or so, have you tried to teach He Xiao? Have you cared about him? Have you taken care of him?
You only have career in your eyes, not family.
Oh, no, to be precise, you only have Mu Qing and her son in your eyes. When have you ever cared about us? Now Xiao just has a disagreement about food, and you want to beat and kill him. Let me ask you, if it was He Ze who made the mistake this time, would you still do this?"
Lou Xiao'e's words really turned the tables on He Yuzhu.
To be honest, when He Yuzhu reflected on himself over the years, he realized that he had not fulfilled the obligations and responsibilities of a father.
Because when he saw the expressions of his first wife Hao Chunlan and his two sons He Weiguo and Hao Aiguo, he understood everything.
The hand that was about to be raised was lowered.
Of course, this was not He Yuzhu's compromise with Lou Xiao'e. He just replied calmly,
"Xiao'e, if that's the case, I will personally arrange and train our four sons from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, a big blow hit He Xiao in the face, making him see stars.
This made Lou Xiao'e feel distressed, and she immediately yelled, "He Yuzhu!"
He Yuzhu didn't care about that, he took He Xiao out and warned Lou Xiao'e before leaving.
"Xiao'e, please don't follow me, or you know the consequences."
Lou Xiao'e originally wanted to go forward with He Xiao, after all, he was her own son. However, after being warned by He Yuzhu, she hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
