Chapter 37: No More Taking Advantage of Them

Hearing this, he said nothing and went back to the house to sit down.

Xie Lin’an looked at Xie Zhili and said, “I am blaming you for not paying for my education, shouldn’t I blame you?”

Xie Zhili was questioned by him, knowing he was in the wrong, he couldn’t speak.

He only said awkwardly, “Lin’an, I was really struggling back then, it’s all in the past.”

“Humph, yeah, no matter what, it’s all in the past, I’m too lazy to argue with you anymore, so please leave my house.”

The two of them: “…” They came to take wheat, they even brought sacks.

“Lin’an, what are you saying, this is your house, it’s also our house.”

Xie Lin’an’s face darkened, “Who said it’s your house? Your household registration has been moved out, this house is now mine.”

“This… okay, okay, it’s yours, but you shouldn’t stop us from coming home to see your grandpa, right?”

“See him? Aren’t you seeing him now?”

He stood at the door blocking them, making it clear that he wouldn’t let them in.

“Have you seen enough?”

“Lin’an, you…”

“If you’ve seen enough, then leave.” He didn’t want to hear their nonsense anymore, Xie Lin’an directly kicked them out.

The two of them stood at the door with their sacks, neither leaving nor staying.

How could they go back?

Going back with empty sacks, wouldn’t the neighbors laugh at them?

When they left early this morning, they told the neighbors that they would bring wheat back.

Several neighbors had already pre-ordered this year’s new wheat from them, and they had even agreed on the price.

Li Mei kept winking at Xie Zhili.

Xie Zhili was urged by his wife, so he had to say, “Lin’an, your two younger brothers are clamoring for wheat cakes, pack some for me to take back for them.”

Xie Lin’an looked at him with a smirk, “So, you’re saying that you’re a filial third uncle, but you came empty-handed, and you still want to leave with a sack full of things?”

Xie Zhili: “…”

“You’re actually teachers, is this how you teach filial piety? Didn’t any parents sue you for misleading children?”

The two of them were ridiculed by his sarcasm again.

Enough is enough, they couldn’t take it anymore.

Li Mei broke down first, her face black, she pointed at Xie Lin’an and said, “You’re enough, how can a nephew talk to his third uncle like this? Humph, I’m telling you, although your third uncle’s household registration has been moved out, your grandpa is his father, this fact can’t be changed. He planted the grain, your third uncle should take some, he also has a share in this house. Your grandpa hasn’t said anything yet, you have no right to kick us out.”

Li Mei shouted, feeling relieved, she continued, “Don’t think we’re afraid of you because we haven’t said anything, it’s just that you have no father or mother, and you’re a junior, we’re just not arguing with you.”

“Oh, you’re not pretending anymore?”

Li Mei: “…”

“According to you, you should take this wheat?”

Li Mei stiffened her neck and said, “Yes, I should take it. We’re all grandsons, there’s no reason to only raise you guys and not your two cousins. Your grandpa has raised you brothers for so many years, it’s time to take care of the other grandsons. Dad, don’t you think so?”

Lin Xinghua hesitated, looking at Xie Lin’an’s face, he didn’t dare to speak.

Ye Xiaozhen saw her grandpa’s kind personality, no wonder he was bullied, he was so old and still couldn’t say anything when his son and daughter-in-law took advantage of him.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Qing wanted to sell Ye Xiaozhen to their family.

Xie Lin’an directly pushed them out of the yard.

The two of them were scared when they saw him move.

What are you doing? Xie Lin’an, you dare to hit people? We are your third uncle and third aunt.

Hit you? Humph, I’m too lazy to hit you.

He smiled and said, “I’m not hitting anyone now, I’m reasoning with you. I’m telling you, I’m the master of this house, this wheat was grown in my field, it has nothing to do with my grandpa. You dare to touch my wheat?”

What? Your field? What about your grandpa’s share? We’re not taking yours, your grandpa’s share should be given to us, right?

Should be given?

Xie Lin’an sneered, “He’s already eaten his share, now all the wheat in this yard is mine.”

You’re lying, an old man can’t eat that much?

“He can eat that much, you want it? If you have the guts, ask him to spit it out for you.”

The two of them: “…”

He’s not hitting them anymore, but he’s being unreasonable now.

The two of them saw that they couldn’t take the wheat anymore, they pushed each other and went outside to discuss, they muttered and said something to themselves.

Xie Lin’an directly closed the yard gate, went into the house, and saw his grandpa smoking.

Xie Lin’an sighed and said, “Grandpa, are you blaming me?”

Lin Xinghua exhaled a puff of smoke and said, “I’m old, I don’t care about these things. The wheat is yours, do whatever you want with it.”

Xie Lin’an pulled a stool and sat next to him, whispering to him, “Grandpa, they’ve taken advantage of you a lot over the years, I’ve been turning a blind eye. First, I didn’t want to make things difficult for you, and second, I didn’t know they were so selfish.

They’ve wronged me, and they still look down on Xiaozhen, thinking she’s a fool who has embarrassed them. What does it have to do with them that I married a wife? They didn’t raise me, and they’ve taken advantage of me, why should they point fingers at my wife?

I’m a man, I don’t care about these things, but I can’t let Xiaozhen be bullied with me. If I don’t do something, they will only get worse.”

Ye Xiaozhen was in the house, hearing his words, she was touched again.

It means that it’s okay to bully him, but it’s not okay to bully her.

To be honest, when she first came here, although she was attracted to him, she looked down on him a little.

She thought he was a rough country bumpkin with no brains.

But after spending time with him, she was gradually moved by his rough and tender heart.

It wasn’t his fault that the family suddenly changed, otherwise, he would probably have gone to college and had a decent job.

Lin Xinghua was probably convinced, he had hidden it all this time, but his grandson found out.

Lin Xinghua sighed and said, “It’s good that you know now, I was worried about how to tell you.”

He took out a crumpled ten yuan bill and said, “Your third aunt said that they won’t come to your wedding, take this ten yuan for the gift money, it’s yours.”

Xie Lin’an didn’t refuse this time, he took it directly.

Lin Xinghua tapped his pipe and went into the house.

At this time, Ye Xiaozhen stood at the door of the inner room looking at Xie Lin’an.

Xie Lin’an also looked at her, then he raised the money in his hand and showed a big smile.

“Xiaozhen, let’s buy some candy tomorrow.”

Ye Xiaozhen couldn’t help but laugh, who knew how much she, a fool, had to endure?

Xie Lin’an pulled her into the house and hugged her.

This time, Ye Xiaozhen responded, she put her arms around his waist and looked up at him.

Xie Lin’an was stunned, then he was both surprised and delighted, he held her head and kissed her forcefully.

Ye Xiaozhen didn’t push him away, she even tilted her head and cooperated with his kiss.

The tide of passion surged, Xie Lin’an gasped for breath.
