Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

He's father came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, and at the end he winked at He Fei: "Do you think He Xi is suffering from lovesickness?"

He Fei glanced at the food in the pot and muttered softly, "She misses her abalone and lobster. She would even shout and kill you if she ate a bite of your watermelon."

He's father, who had already taken out the dishes, returned with the dishes: "What did you say? Look around the village to see if there is a father like me? I didn't give you two watermelons to eat? Who is a good person who eats watermelons every day? All the watermelons in our village are bought to exchange for money. Is there any family willing to eat them themselves?"

I saw Grandpa He this morning. He felt so awkward seeing He Xi wanting to speak but not daring to. They don't hesitate at all when they are plotting against people, but they act like this when something serious happens. Who are they acting for?

"The three-piece set for summer is eating watermelon, using a fan and watching TV. We only have the first one at home, but you won't let us eat it." He Fei said as she saw the big round watermelons in the field through the window.

He's father: "In the past, landlords didn't live the life you described. What are you doing daydreaming in broad daylight? Eat right out of the pot."

He Fei: "Being stingy will make you lose us."

Father He: “…”

It's really hard to raise a child, he threatens me at every turn.

He Xi, who came back with the dishes, suddenly said, "I saw grandpa this morning. He seemed to have something on his mind, but he probably didn't want to tell me. He looked around our yard and then turned around and left."

"I'll cut some watermelon for you two later." Father He gritted his teeth and said, "Your grandfather is fine. He just came to see us. You don't know his character yet. It's nothing."

He Fei wanted to ask something but was blocked by He's father: "Don't talk when you eat or sleep."

So, during the next meal, He's father was very caring and considerate to the two sisters, fearing that someone would start a conversation. The two sisters looked at each other and thought: he has something to hide.

In the original owner's memory, He's father had never been such a person. Whenever he was so enthusiastic and trying to hide something, there must be something going on, or he had something to ask of others. All his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were always shown on his face, and he couldn't hide anything.

"Didn't they introduce you to someone to live with?" He Xi just said this casually, but she didn't expect such a big reaction from He's father.

He's father slammed the bowl in his hand onto the table, knocking it down so tightly that not a single grain of rice was left. The soup splashed onto the two sisters at the same time: "Ah, it hurts my eyes."

The soup of boiled meat is spicy, hot and stimulating.

He Xi took He Fei to wash their eyes. He's father stared blankly at the bowl of rice. He didn't want to touch such precious food at the moment. How did she see that?

The two sat back down again, and He Xi looked at He's father, whose eyes were dull: "So they still found it for you?"

He's father was stunned for a moment, then calmed down after his initial shock. He picked up the bowl and rice on the table and said slowly, "Well, they threatened to kill themselves, so I did go, but I ran away halfway and drove the carriage to the county town for a stroll."

He Xi asked honestly, "What about Du Rong?"

He's father lowered his eyes, hiding too many emotions: "They gave me a divorce certificate with some content written on it, basically saying that she divorced voluntarily."

"Have you been to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Father He hesitated for a while, then raised his head again: "You mean I haven't divorced yet? How could I forget that? I just want them to die at the doorstep, and I can't let you get stabbed in the back, right?"

After figuring this out, He's father felt relieved, his brows relaxed, and he looked at He Xi with gratitude: "I forgot, don't worry, I will never find a stepmother for you."

He Fei looked at He's father teasingly: "Men are all pigs."

He's father: "What's the metaphor for the big pig's trotter? Want to eat it? It's too hard to buy."

He Xi raised an eyebrow: "Is the other person good-looking?"

He Fei looked at He's father like a melon, and He Xi also stared at him. For a moment, He's father didn't know how to reply. He waited for a while before glaring at the two sisters: "I told you that I didn't run away halfway. Are you doubting your father's character?"

He Xi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then summed up an old saying: "Like father, like son. Your character is legitimately doubted."

He Fei nodded.

Father He: “…”

So I fed the food I cooked to the dogs since you came home?

He Xi: "Woof woof."

He Fei glanced at He Xi and said, "Woof woof."

Father He: “…”

He's father put down the dishes in his hands and said, "Great job!"

As for Grandpa He, he came several times afterwards but was coldly rejected by He's father each time. He also reported to the village chief in advance what would have happened if his father had been killed in front of his house.

Beijing Lujia.

Xiao Yan sat on Lu Jinan's bed. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why He Fei didn't write a letter or make a phone call for so many days. The same went for He Xi. They were born of the same mother, equally cold and indifferent. They wouldn't recognize anyone once they put on their pants.

Lu Jinan was calm. They were still together the night before yesterday, but every night when they were together, He Xi left early, which really made her feel like they were having an affair.

What happened in Beijing was actually very simple. It was not a matter of speculation at all. Jin San slept with a married woman, and the two of them were secretly together. One day, they were caught in the act by each other. The man sued him for rape, and his subordinates hoped that his family would come forward to bail him out.

Mother Lu watched her youngest son packing his luggage in a hurry. The mask on her face fell off with laughter, and she had to use her hands to support herself. "It's enough for me to see you so anxious in my lifetime."

Lu Jinan smiled coldly: "Are your expectations of me so low?"

Mother Lu lay on the sofa to let the mask adhere better: "Your father and I even thought about arranging a marriage for you because we were afraid that you would end up alone. Who would have thought that you and your baby would fall in love with each other."

"To be honest, I was not optimistic about it at first. It's not because of your family background, but I was worried that you wouldn't have a common language. After all, you and Tao Xing grew up together, so you should have a common language. I didn't expect that child..."

Lu Jinan sat on another sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "If I hadn't met her, I think I would have ended up alone as you said."

Mother Lu stood up and stared at Lu Jinan in a daze. Suddenly, for a moment, she couldn't understand her little son in front of her and didn't understand why he said that.

When Lu Jinan came, he brought a lot of things with him, and when he left, he left with the same thing. Lu's mother gave him an extra portion of living expenses. She said of the extra portion, "Take the money. It's for my daughter-in-law. You're just keeping it for her. Don't think too much about it."

In fact, Mother Lu was just embarrassed to always accept things from He Xi. It was not easy for the child to earn money by herself. As a mother, she could clearly feel that the two children had their own concerns. She chose to respect them and was willing to give at any time as long as the children needed her.

When Lu Jinan came back, He Xi was sitting in the shade under a tree in the field, directing people to work.
