Chapter 196: Consequences
Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and the others thought that they had successfully diverted the two children’s attention. They smiled and nodded. “Alright, alright, alright. We can all plant them together when we go back!”
When they got home, Liu Guixia wanted Xue Erfu to plant flowers with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
Xue Dafu and Erfu and the others had the same thought.
They still had lingering fear in their hearts.
They had seen the thick stick. If Zhuzi really hit Xue Yan, or if it accidentally hit Jiang Yue… They didn’t even dare to think about the consequences.
Thinking that the two children still needed an adult by their side, he initially wanted to let Xue Wufu follow them. However, Xue Wufu was rash. Although he was 14 years old, he was not as sensible as the two children. In fact, he was more of a child sometimes compared to the two. Xue Sifu was busy producing candy, Xue Yifu was busy preparing the things in the water barley grain workshop, and Li Hehua was a woman. After thinking about it, it was more appropriate to let Xue Erfu help them.
However, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue didn’t agree, saying that they could plant it themselves.
Because they felt that the two children must have been frightened, Liu Guixia and the others were afraid that they would scare the two children again. They spoke softly and naturally wouldn’t force the two children to let Xue Erfu follow them.
However, when they were making candy under the shed, they would always go to see the status of the two children.
They saw the two children plant flowers at the corner of the courtyard with small hoes. They then went to the entrance of the courtyard and planted them on both sides of the entrance. They could see two bunches of green daffodils from the inside.
As they watched carefully, their minds eventually calmed down. They stopped checking up on them as often and went to do their own things.
Xue Zhuzi was a beast. There wouldn’t always be people like Xue Zhuzi who would want to beat their children.
They didn’t need to be this paranoid at all.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were squatting at the entrance of the yard. As soon as they planted the narcissus, they noticed that their family members were finally relaxed and no longer stared at them.
They didn’t say anything about this. It was obviously within his expectations.
“I’ll go get some water and water these flowers and plants.” Xue Yan stood up and said.
“Yeah,” Jiang Yue replied.
The ground at the corner of the courtyard was fine and quite damp, but the ground at the entrance of the courtyard was especially dry. It was important to water it.
Xue Yan didn’t go to the river to get water. Although his family was relaxed, they were still sensitive about the issue. He decided to not leave their sight for the time being. So he scooped some water from the jar and carried it to the gate of the yard.
Jiang Yue took the water ladle and started to pour water on the plants. The ground was too dry, so she watered it more.
Then, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue went back to the yard with the water bucket and went to the corner of the yard to water the plants. There were plants that needed to be watered here.
After doing this, they washed their hands.
While Jiang Yue and the others were planting the flowers and plants, Xue Dagui and his brother, Xue Darong, helped their father, Xue Da, back to his room. They stayed there for a while before returning home.
When he got home, Zhang Meili immediately came up to him. She stretched her neck to look behind him. Seeing that no one was following her, she was greatly relieved and scolded, “He didn’t hit anyone, was there a need to act that dramatically?!”
“Zhang Meili!” Xue Dagui immediately shouted and pointed at the door. “Go back to your mother’s house! Clean up the sh*t in your brain! Don’t come back if you haven’t reflected on your actions today!”
Zhang Meili wasn’t going to divorce him, she still wanted to come back. Zhang Meili wasn’t afraid. “Let’s go back to my maternal home together!”
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
