Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Open-Minded Mom, Old-Fashioned Dad
Speaking of which, Lin Mu looked at Lin Fu, "Will Xu Jiang come to An’an’s full moon banquet this time?"
Lin Fu was at a loss, avoiding his wife’s gaze, he looked at his daughter.
Lin Xiaoyan diverted her eyes, ignoring her father’s plea, in her heart, her dad indeed deserved to be scolded!
She never liked Xu Jiang’s family, let alone tonight she "saw" Xu Yuan’s impending frame-up against her dad!
She disliked Xu Jiang’s family even more!
In her opinion, her dad was just silly!
He considered them brothers while they treated him like a fool!
He Qi’an had been silent. After Lin Mu finished scolding Lin Fu, he finally spoke.
"Uncle, since we are already aware of what’s going to happen, let’s cut our losses.
Tomorrow, I’ll go to the construction site with you. If we notice those two acting up..."
Lin Fu wasn’t very willing when he heard He Qi’an’s words, "What if I keep a close eye on them and don’t let them steal. Isn’t that..."
"Dad!"
"Old Lin!"
Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Mu shouted loudly, both filled with disapproval.
He Qi’an patted Lin Xiaoyan’s hand and said slowly, "Uncle, you can watch them for a time, but not forever!
If they had such intentions from the start, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it.
Moreover, Uncle, when you’re busy, you can’t spare the time to watch them. This matter will eventually happen."
Lin Mu: "Yeah, you tell me, are you there to work or to watch people?
If you want to watch people, then don’t take on the job!"
Lin Xiaoyan also looked at her dad, "Dad, they’ve already treated you that way, what are you still hesitating for!"
Lin Fu, overwhelmed by his wife and daughter’s words, felt troubled. He didn’t want to believe that his good brother’s son would treat him like this.
"Old Lin, if you still hesitate, if you still think Xu Yuan won’t harm you, then don’t go to the construction site anymore. Hand that job over to someone else!"
Lin Mu made the decision directly.
"You don’t believe Yanyan, you think Yanyan’s lying to you, don’t you?
You’d rather trust others than your daughter, right!"
Lin Fu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I don’t disbelieve Yanyan, I’m just... just unable to accept it for a moment..."
Lin Fu sighed, hesitated for a moment, then looked at He Qi’an, "Then tomorrow... Xiao He, accompany me to the construction site."
He Qi’an nodded when he heard Lin Fu’s words, "Alright, Uncle.
Tomorrow at the construction site, just focus on your work, leave the rest to me."
Lin Fu nodded slowly, sigh, what is this all about!
How did Xu Yuan become like this, why are they thinking of stealing?
Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an, who gave a slight nod, signaling her not to worry.
Lin Mu continued to rant about Xu Jiang, "How much trouble does Xu Jiang’s family cause every year!
When his father was hospitalized, you took money to the hospital.
When his mother was hospitalized, you took money to the hospital.
When his son got married, you sent a gift.
When his father died, you attended the funeral.
When his son had a baby and celebrated the full moon, one-year-old birthdays, you were present each time!"
"And what about in return? When your son got married, they said they were busy and didn’t come!!!
When your grandson had his full moon celebration, still they didn’t show up!!!
Is this the brother you keep talking about? Bullshit brother!!!
You’re just foolish! You’re stupid!
They don’t even take you seriously, to them you’re just a fool!"
Lin Fu was scolded so thoroughly by his wife that he couldn’t lift his head.
Thinking of everything Xu Jiang had done, he was reluctant to admit that Xu Jiang truly didn’t consider him a brother.
Clearly, they played so well together as kids!
Clearly, when fights occurred, Xu Jiang would always protect him.
Clearly, he assumed their bond was so good they could wear the same pants...
When did Xu Jiang change?
It seemed it all started when he began leading others in renovation jobs, earning money... Xu Jiang, upon seeing him, always made sarcastic remarks.
Xu Jiang’s family’s condition wasn’t great, he always knew this, hence, when he later engaged in jobs, he would always call Xu Jiang, thinking of getting him more work, allowing him to earn more money...
Sigh~
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be awry, Xu Jiang was never a good thing, and so his son Xu Yuan is also a scoundrel!
Daring to steal things from the construction site in Sea City, why doesn’t he just jump to the heavens!
If you ask me, catch him and send him directly to the police!
So he won’t keep harboring bad intentions and sneak around like a thief..."
Lin Mu’s mouth didn’t stop all the way home.
Sometimes, flipping through old accounts, sometimes angrily scolding Xu Jiang and his son for being heartless.
When they got home, Lin Xiaoyan advised her mom not to be angry anymore.
Fortunately, things haven’t happened yet, there’s still time to fix it.
Lin Mu looked at her husband, who had hung his head silently, and a softness flashed in her eyes.
But, thinking how he easily crumbled, she hardened her heart, thinking she still needed to toughen him when they were behind closed doors.
To prevent Xu Jiang from sweet-talking him again later.
Upon reaching home, He Qi’an reluctantly watched Lin Xiaoyan close the door.
Before closing the door, Lin Xiaoyan noticed He Qi’an’s gaze, her mouth curved up, silently mouthing, "Bye bye~"
He Qi’an looked at his girlfriend, with a teary expression.
But Lin Xiaoyan didn’t look at him, and directly closed the door.
He Qi’an: ......
When can I go back to our own little home with my wife?!
Lin Xiaoyan closed the door, turned around, and saw her parents standing in the living room watching her.
Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback, feeling a little guilty, "Wh-... what’s up? Why aren’t you going to sleep?"
Lin Mu looked at her daughter whose face was turning red, cleared her throat, and said, "Aren’t you going to stay across the street?"
Lin Xiaoyan: !!!
"I... why would I... stay there..."
Lin Xiaoyan was so nervous she was stuttering.
Lin Fu disapproved, looking at his wife, "Yes, our daughter is living well at home, why should she stay elsewhere!"
Lin Mu glared at her husband and then looked at her daughter, "It’s alright, I just wanted to let you know, if you ever want to stay there, go ahead.
During the time you were in the hospital, your dad and I could see, Xiao He truly loves you, cares about you deeply.
So... I’m still relatively open-minded, if you two want to live together, just do it."
Lin Fu wasn’t happy, "No, they aren’t married yet, what does living together mean!"
Lin Mu glared at her husband, "You’ve already gotten engaged, remember how you couldn’t wait to have me stay at your place when we just got engaged, forgotten already!"
Lin Fu hesitated, "But... that’s different..."
Lin Mu: "What then? You think Xiao He isn’t good?"
Lin Fu answered weakly, "No, Xiao He’s very good."
Lin Mu: "Then what are you worried about?"
Lin Fu looked at his daughter whose face was turning deep red, he sighed, "I know society today is very open, unmarried cohabitation has become the norm.
But, darling, your dad is old-fashioned, I always feel that cohabiting before marriage is unfair to a girl."
Lin Xiaoyan was overwhelmed by her father’s words, embarrassed and unable to raise her head.
Because she... had already done that with He Qi’an.
Lin Mu gave a firm slap on her husband’s arm.
