Sensing Su Li’s attitude, Su Ze could not help but take another look at Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang gave him a friendly smile.
Su Ze didn’t buy it. He snorted coldly and closed the courtyard door before entering the house.
No matter the reason, the person his sister didn’t like was a person he didn’t like.
Su Ze entered the house and asked, “Sister, do you have a grudge against that woman?”
Could it be that the woman had bullied his sister previously? Otherwise, why would such a kind person like his sister give others a black face for no reason?!
Su Li said, “There are some grudges!”
“Did she bully you? I’m going to settle the score with her.” Su Ze rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.
“Stop right there.” Su Li stopped Su Ze.
“Sister!” Su Ze was unhappy.
“Listen to me, this is not what you think!”
Su Li told Su Ze everything.
Actually, Chen Xiang was not to blame for this. At most, she was accused of not reporting what she knew. The most detestable person was He Dahai. He even wanted to sell them for money, but in the end, it was all for nothing. He deserved it!
Su Ze said indignantly, “That kind of person is really too much. To think that you’re usually so good to her. Since she stabbed her at the critical moment, let’s stay away from them in the future. Otherwise, we don’t know when she’ll stab us again.”
Su Li looked at him with a gratified expression and said, “It’s good that you know this. You can’t have the intention to harm others, but you have to be wary of others. Although we usually seem to have a good relationship, it’s hard to tell what people are thinking. Who knows what they’re thinking? Remember this when you interact with others in the future.”
Su Ze nodded hard and said, “I’m not stupid, Sis. If anyone dares to stab me, I’ll definitely pay them back double.”
If anyone dared to stab him in the back, he would definitely find an opportunity to stab them ruthlessly.
Su Ze asked again, “By the way, the family next door messed with us like this.
Should we return the favor?”
Su Ze wished he could rush over right now, drag He Dahai out, and beat him up so badly that he would cry for his parents and kneel down to beg for mercy.
Su Li shook her head. “There’s no need. He has already received his retribution. Moreover, his hard days are still ahead. Let them live in regret and frustration!”
As long as their lives improved, He Dahai would feel more and more uncomfortable. This was probably worse than killing He Dahai. She liked to stand at a high place and see others in pain.
The sky was completely dark, but He Yufeng had yet to return.
Su Li was afraid that the two children would not be able to wait, so she told them to eat first and not wait for He Yufeng.
The two children were unwilling to eat and insisted on waiting for He Yufeng.
Seeing this, Su Li stopped persuading them. After all, a child’s filial piety was worth encouraging. Don’t criticize them.
He Yufeng drove the car to the entrance of the house. When he saw the light in the house, a trace of warmth appeared in his heart. After so many years, there was finally a light for him.
He Yufeng got off the ox cart. He led the ox cart into the courtyard and even unloaded it.
He Yufeng tied the ox rope to the wooden stake in the courtyard to prevent the ox from running away. Their house did not have an ox pen, and it was not safe to tie the ox outside at night, so they could only let the ox stay in the courtyard now.
Su Ze heard the commotion and walked out. He looked at the cow and then at He Yufeng. “Brother-in-law, why did you bring the cow in? Just leave it outside the courtyard!”
When that cow pooped later and made the yard stink, he didn’t want to deal with cow dung first thing in the morning.
He Yufeng said, “We can tie it outside during the day. It’s not safe at night. I’m afraid that someone will do something. When we have time, we’ll build a bull pen.”
No one knew what others were thinking. If someone poisoned their cow, who could they reason with?
If a cow thief stole the cow, he might as well not buy it.
Su Ze muttered softly, “Then why don’t you return it to the owner first? You still have to find food for it when you bring it back. Why do you have to spend so much effort making a bull pen?!”
He felt that He Yufeng had rented this ox cart from someone else. However, after renting it for two more days, he could not help but scold He Yufeng in his heart for being a spendthrift. He could have just walked or taken the ox cart, but he had to rent it. Could it be that the wind blew money over?
When Su Li heard the commotion, she heated up the dishes first. Then, she heard He Yufeng and Su Ze’s conversation and brought the dishes to the central room.
When she saw the cow in the courtyard, she raised her eyebrows and asked He
Yufeng, “How many days have you rented this ox cart?”
If it wasn’t for the long-term rental, why would he unload the car?
He Yufeng looked at the siblings’ puzzled gazes and explained, “It’s not rented.
I just bought this cow today!”
“What?” Two surprised voices sounded at the same time.
Su Li and Su Ze looked at He Yufeng with widened eyes. They were very surprised by his actions.
Su Li couldn’t help but think to herself. This prodigal. She had given him a hundred taels of silver today, but he had gone to buy a cow?
Although she had the intention to buy a cow, was it really good to not discuss it with her?
Su Ze’s anger rose. His sister had just given him money this morning to build a house, but he had bought a cow instead. Wasn’t building a house more important than having a cow now?
If not for the fact that he could not defeat He Yufeng, he would have pressed him to the ground and rubbed him hard. He would have let him know what to do and what not to do!
He Qingyao and He Qingmu walked out of the house. They felt that the atmosphere outside the courtyard was not right. They looked at each of them.
“Mother, what’s wrong?” He Qingyao asked.
Su Li smiled and said, “Nothing much. It’s just that your father bought a cow behind our backs!”
He Qingyao:
His father was really bold!
He bought the cow without even telling them.
When He Yufeng saw the siblings’ reaction, he knew that they had misunderstood. However, he could only blame himself for not making this clear. He held Su Li’s hand and said. “Let’s talk inside.”
Su Li nodded and said, “Let’s eat first.’
Everyone was hungry, so it was better to fill their stomachs first.
Su Ze snorted. “What’s there to eat? I’m full from anger.” Su Li glared at Su Ze.
Su Ze muttered softly, “Fine, I’d stop talking about it!”
After eating his fill.
He Yufeng handed Su Li a few banknotes. “This is for you. Keep it for the household expenses. I said that you don’t have to pay for the construction of the house.”
Su Li looked at the banknotes in his hand and blinked. “Where did these banknotes come from?”
He went out for a day and came back with so many banknotes?
Was it his private savings, or did he run out to rob someone today?
He Yufeng explained, “I saved it previously. I wanted to keep it for my family after I got married..”
