Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: Unlucky Day
So when he was working with his second son, he talked about this matter.
"Dad, Xuemei is also tired. If mom is tired, she can wait for Xuemei to rest enough and then make dinner, it’s the same."
Zhao Tian felt very helpless hearing this. The second son is different from the eldest son, and no matter how busy the eldest daughter-in-law is, when she comes home and sees no dinner cooked, the first thing she does is cook. Besides, looking at it, the eldest daughter-in-law is more capable than the second daughter-in-law, works more, and never complains of being tired.
Xu Hongbing got off the train, and now the child is no longer with him.
On the train, he met a couple, almost forty years old and still without children.
Seeing their genuine love for children, Xu Hongbing knew this child would live a decently good life with them, so he felt reassured.
It’s afternoon when he gets off the train, and he doesn’t have much money in hand. He had hidden money in that house.
He actually thought about Zhao Xiaojing possibly selling the house, but even if it was sold, he had ways; no one would find that money.
He now only has a snakeskin bag with his few pieces of clothing.
Xu Hongbing is quite good-looking. At 1.7 meters, he’s not considered short nowadays.
Arriving in front of the house he arranged, it hasn’t been sold, but looks very dilapidated now; the lock is still the old one.
He squatted down and reached under the front door, pulling out a key to open the door and went inside.
He really didn’t know where he should go; right now, this place is still considered his home.
Entering the yard, he saw weeds all over the place, which meant nobody had come here for a long time. He went straight to where he had hidden money inside the house; nobody had touched it.
Carefully pulling out a wine bottle with money inside, he felt at ease.
He had hidden five hundred yuan here and hadn’t told anyone about it.
Now that he had money, his heart calmed down.
Inside the house, everything looked as it did when he left.
Since nobody had lived there for two years, the bed’s blanket had been gnawed by rats. There was also a moldy smell.
Opening the box, his clothes were there too, all gnawed by rats, and couldn’t be worn.
These past few years, he did everything himself, so tidying up the house wasn’t a problem.
After cleaning the house, he also tidied up the yard. There was still some wood and firewood at home, so it could still be burned as they were kept in the woodshed.
But the big pot was too rusty, and there wasn’t any food in the house, so even if he wanted to cook, it wouldn’t be possible.
Although he had money, he didn’t have food tickets. But that didn’t trouble him.
He knocked on the neighbor’s door.
The neighbor was quite surprised to see Xu Hongbing.
"Sister-in-law Li, I’m here to buy some food from you, I don’t have food tickets."
"Xiao Xu, you know our food is rationed, so there really isn’t any extra."
"Sister-in-law Li, I’ll give you more money, just give me enough food for tonight and tomorrow morning."
Xu Hongbing still managed to buy some, even though it was just cornmeal, it could be used to make porridge.
He didn’t rush home to cook, but instead went looking for a horse-drawn carriage. Tomorrow he would go back to the farm.
At night, lying there, memories of his life over the years flooded his mind.
He ran into Zhao Xiaojing when he was reporting tasks at the factory department, and at that moment, he saw from her eyes that she liked him.
After leaving home and coming here, he never considered going back.
When he got older, he discovered a girl’s admiration, and this girl was quite pretty, so he asked someone to propose.
After their marriage, they were really happy. Zhao Xiaojing was a neat and capable person.
After their son was born, their relationship improved even more.
Gradually, he found ways to earn money.
Every time in the city, he made quite a bit. His courage grew.
He met Huang Mei because she sought him to buy food. Through interaction, they got familiar with each other.
A man tempted by a woman, and his wife not by his side, so they got together.
The first time was here, right on this bed.
Honestly, Xu Hongbing now feels a bit disgusted. Back then, he underestimated Zhao Xiaojing, because she was too good to him.
He underestimated her family too. This made him feel that this woman couldn’t leave him. Besides, it had been so many years without the initial excitement.
Being with Huang Mei for two years, he knew she wasn’t being faithful to him, nor had he invested much; it was just a usual fun.
Unexpectedly, his son discovered it; he really was careless. Back then, he was teasing her, which led to saying such things, not expecting his son to take it seriously.
Xu Hongbing didn’t want to think about what happened afterward; this return was for a fresh start with Zhao Xiaojing.
He should be able to persuade her; she loves him.
The next morning, he had porridge again and cleaned the house thoroughly before heading to the coachman’s place.
The coachman knew Xu Hongbing too. At first, the old man felt a bit awkward, but seeing Xu Hongbing wasn’t embarrassed, he gradually relaxed.
Xu Hongbing probed bit by bit, trying to learn about the situation there.
"Uncle Li, is the farm developing quite well now?"
"Not bad; this year, I sent them to work, and I heard that the big leaders in the capital are taking care of this place, sending technicians over to plant medicinal herbs on the farm."
Xu Hongbing learned that person was Su Yuanyuan.
That woman is very impressive, and she has deep feelings. From her treatment of the Zhao Family, it’s apparent. Moreover, who else could manage it that way?
"Uncle Li, the workers will be back soon, right? It’s already November."
"Just a few more days, and now people at the farm are willing to spend money.
Xiao Xu, after you return, you must lead a good life; Zhao Family’s girl with a child isn’t having it easy."
Xu Hongbing nodded. "I know, I will definitely lead a good life."
"That’s right. I’ve told you, a man making mistakes isn’t a big deal, as long as you realize them and sweet-talk your wife and kids."
"Uncle Li, that’s exactly what I plan for this time. Since being outside, I realized home is still better.
Xiao Xu, your wife is also good, looking after the child this year. So the house has been hiring help. But for a woman to do so is admirable.
I told you before, Huang Mei isn’t decent. She’s quite famous here; just knows how to flirt.
Now that you’ve returned, I’m not afraid to tell you: during your time with her, there were several others too, Xiao Xu, isn’t your wife at home better? Think clearly in this."
"I understand now, I’ve figured everything out."
"Isn’t it? Home is still the best."
