Delayed confession

Before Xu Weixi reached the door, she saw scattered cups, rags and other household items at the corner of the stairs.

I walked to the door and was about to open it, but unexpectedly the door opened automatically.

Although this house is a second-hand house, her parents also carefully renovated it. Although it is not as good as a new house, it is not much worse.

But now the house is in a mess.

A low sobbing sound came from the corner, and Xu Weixi hurried forward to help the person up.

Fang Yuan looked at his daughter and felt as if he had found his backbone, and then he burst into tears.

"Mom, what happened? Did you have a fight with Dad?"

I didn't explain it clearly on the phone just now, I just kept asking her to come back as soon as possible.

Although she had never seen her parents quarrel, it was no wonder that she would think this way in this situation.

Fang Yuan shook his head.

"I don't know what happened. This afternoon, your brother just went out to learn calligraphy when someone knocked on the door. I thought your brother forgot to take something... I didn't expect a group of people to rush in and smash the house like this."

Xu Weixi patted her trembling mother, "Have you called my second brother?"

"No, I called you and your dad, but your dad didn't answer the phone."

Xu Weixi looked at her mother's haggard face and couldn't imagine how scared she would be if she didn't receive the call either.

As he was speaking, Fang Yuan's cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was an incoming call, Xu Weixi answered the call and pressed the speakerphone button.

"What's the matter? You made several phone calls." The man's background voice was also very noisy.

"It's nothing, Xiaoxi is back."

Seeing the mother trembling with fear but still not wanting to disturb her husband's work,

Xu Weixi didn't say anything, but quietly put the tables, chairs and benches on the ground in place.

"By the way, it seems that my eldest brother has gone to the market to gamble again recently. Don't open the door for him. If he wants money, tell him to wait until I get back."

Hearing this, the girl stopped what she was doing, looked at the busy tone on the phone, and spoke with some difficulty,

"When did it start?"

"what?"

Fang Yuan didn't understand what she was asking and asked back subconsciously.

"When did uncle come to our house to ask for money again?"

Fang Yuan didn't want her to get involved in these messy things, so he said perfunctorily,

"You are a kid, don't meddle in adults' business, just do your own job well."

"Just do your job well...then why are you calling me?" Xu Weixi looked at her angrily.

Fang Yuan was choked and lowered his head in silence.

"Are you still calling the police?"

"Don't report it yet. Wait until your dad comes back in the evening."

Xu Weixi chuckled, "You really value friendship, but you are ignorant of the law."

With someone around, Fang Yuan was finally not so scared anymore and got up to start cleaning.

The two worked hard for an entire afternoon and finally restored the house to about 70% of its original appearance.

I looked at the new house carefully. I came here in a hurry last time and was too busy with work to pay attention to some details.

I just realized that all the family photos were taken this year, and there is no picture of my family of three.

"This photo is a coupon given to your dad by his foreman last time. It can only take a photo of three people at most." Fang Yuan explained carefully.

Xu Weixi didn't seem to care. She looked up and pointed at the broken light and asked, "Do you have a spare light bulb at home? I'll help you change it."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get it." Seeing that his daughter didn't care, Fang Yuan felt relieved.

Xu Weixi looked at her back, tears of grievance welling up in his eyes, but he forced them back.

Xu Weixi not only repaired the light, but also installed the door lock that he had sent over.

Fang Yuan looked at his delicate daughter using these iron tools so skillfully and couldn't help but be curious, "Xiao Xi, when did you learn how to change the door locks?"

"I lived in the company dormitory before... The company charged 300 yuan for the replacement, but I only paid 50 yuan for it myself." The girl put away her tools one by one, stood up and prepared to wash her hands. "Where is the bathroom?"

"It's the door on your left." Fang Yuan said as he walked over and opened the door.

The girl in the mirror tried hard to adjust her expression until she returned to her previous fearless look, then she turned off the faucet.

"Why don't you stay at my place for a while... just in case those people come back."

Fang Yuan didn't know that Xu Weixi not only bought a house but had almost renovated it, but he hadn't moved in because of Shen Ruoxuan's studies.

"No need to bother. Xuanxuan has finished his college entrance exams, so your sister-in-law will definitely move out. By the way, you can move into the dormitory at your company now, right?

Did your boyfriend tell you when they will get married?

You can’t live together before you get married.”

Xu Weixi didn't remember how she explained the matter of the single dormitory before, but Fang Yuan's words at this moment made her feel cold all over.

She seemed to see the shadow of Li Sufen in Fang Yuan, the difference was that her calculations were directed at outsiders.

"Are you worried that I won't be able to find the money for the betrothal gift?"

"What are you talking about, kid?" Fang Yuan pulled her hand and sat down.

"I've always hoped that you would find someone who is not too different from our family, so that if anything happens, we can give you some advice.

But now that you have mentioned this, can we still break up the relationship?

I heard from your sister-in-law that their family is very rich.

So you have to pay more attention, in some things, women are always the ones who suffer. "

Xu Weixi understood what she meant, and leaned on her shoulder with emotion, "Mom, don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."

"I believe my daughter is the smartest and most beautiful."

While the mother and daughter were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"You're back," Fang Yuan stood up, took the things in the man's hand, and prepared to go to the kitchen to heat up the meal.

"Why can't my key open the door today?" Xu Guochang looked down at the door lock.

"Someone came to our house today..." Fang Yuan told her husband everything that happened today.

After hearing this, the man remained silent and just looked up at the time.

After a while, he said, "Rui Rui, go to your elder sister's place to sleep tonight. I'll pick you up later."

"Don't bother me, big sister. Xiaoqing's house has not been vacated yet, so let the two children go there."

"Wei Xi, don't go back. Stay with you. I'll go out to find some friends later." Xu Guochang glanced at his home, thought about it and rejected his wife's suggestion.

Fang Yuan was puzzled and looked at her husband in confusion.

Seeing this, Xu Weixi kindly explained, “If you were alone at home, you would be scared;

But if no one is home, those people can come in and steal things.

After all, if there are people present, it is considered robbery, and if caught, the sentence will be different.

Besides, I think that uncle has evidence in someone's hands, so you probably won't call the police."

She stood up and looked at her father, who was a little angry at being exposed, and asked seriously, "You are worried that your son will be hurt, but you have never thought about me?"

"You are not a child. Why don't you call the police when something happens?" Xu Guochang shouted.
