Chapter 333

He Ming felt wronged. Ever since his second brother's wedding preparations began until now, with He Wei's wedding, how long has it been since he's had a decent life?

Because of his second brother's wedding, he had to give up the place he had been living in for so long. And because of He Wei's wedding, he couldn't even get a proper meal.

His treatment wasn't even as good as his elder brother's. At least their parents, out of guilt, bought a nice place for his elder brother.

As for him, he was just scraping by at home.

Wei Pozi listened to He Ming's words and also felt that the He family was too much.

No matter what, they should at least get the child some food, right?

A young man his age, forced to run to the house of a brother he'd barely met before, just for a meal.

Do they even treat their own kid like a human being?

"Stay and eat," Qinghe didn't immediately refuse him.

He Ming's face immediately lit up with a smile, happily offering to help. "Thank you, elder brother. I'll never forget what you've done for me."

"No need to remember that. I actually have a favor to ask you," Qinghe looked at He Ming with a new plan in mind.

He now thought that He Wei's wedding was his chance to make He Zhifei lose interest in He Youde's family for good.

He Ming froze, clearly afraid. "You... you're not going to make me do more work, are you? I really don't want to work, and your house is already cleaned up."

"Has the family decided on the date for He Wei's wedding plans?" Qinghe handed him a fried pancake.

Bai Xiuxiu helped to ladle the soup.

Wei Pozi brought out the stir-fried pork with cabbage.

This morning, she had prepared two dishes and one soup, along with freshly baked pancakes.

The pancakes were made with old dough, and besides the stir-fried pork with cabbage, there was also stir-fried preserved meat with wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables absorbed the flavor of the preserved meat and balanced out its greasiness.

It smelled delicious.

The shrimp and tofu soup was something Bai Xiuxiu had specifically requested to make again that morning.

She hadn't had enough of it the previous day.

Looking at the spread, He Ming realized it wasn't much different from what he usually ate at home.

Back home, it was a luxury to have preserved meat.

At home, they could only eat fresh food. They couldn't make preserved meat due to lack of time and resources, and they couldn't get that much meat all at once.

Preserved meat and fresh meat had completely different flavors.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Bai Xiuxiu asked, puzzled, as she saw He Ming staring at the food without responding to her husband's words.

She could probably guess Qinghe's thoughts.

He likely wanted He Ming to cause some trouble during He Wei's wedding preparations.

He Ming swallowed hard, knowing that if he didn't answer truthfully, he might not get any food at all.

"Last night, I was in the bathroom and overheard Mom and Dad talking about it. Mom wanted to wait a bit longer, but Dad said he didn't want He Wei to keep causing trouble at home. He mentioned that they would marry her off in a few days. They were really angry with her this time."

As He Ming spoke, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At first, I thought Dad was just mad and would cool off by today.

But after everyone had gone to rest, I went to the bathroom and overheard Mom and Dad actually discussing it. That's when I realized they were really planning to marry He Wei off soon.

"Actually, Mom and Dad weren't planning to marry He Wei off so soon. It was Second Brother who went out yesterday and came back saying a lot of good things about Ji Feng. That's when Dad agreed."

He Ming felt he should try to make up for his parents' behavior.

Otherwise, it would seem like they were too cold-hearted.

When the topic of the dowry came up, He Ming froze again.

What did Big Brother mean by that?

Was he trying to get a share of the family's money?

Dad wasn't dead yet, and there wasn't any shortage of money in the family.

But of course, he didn't dare say that.

He Ming still nodded obediently, "They're probably going to prepare a lot. Mom and Dad dote on He Wei the most, and then Cheng ge. Now that you're back, Big Brother. Originally, I was the third son, but now I guess I'm the fourth.

Oh wait, before us children, there's also Grandpa and He Tian.

They're the ones Dad cares about the most, even Mom has to give way to them."

"The choice of groom has to be made carefully. If Ji Feng is a bad guy and treats He Wei badly, won't she end up divorcing him? And then he might take her dowry," Bai Xiuxiu's words hit He Ming like a blow to the head.

Right!

How could he have forgotten about that?

Ji Feng had already given up on He Wei before and didn't seem too enthusiastic about her.

It was He Wei who was chasing after him.

Recently, he suddenly started acting weird again, making He Wei go crazy and stir things up.

Something definitely didn't add up!

If it was just He Wei getting married and the parents providing the dowry, there wouldn't be a problem.

But if He Wei married Ji Feng and lost her dowry while also not having a good life, that would be a problem.

Suddenly, the food in front of him lost its appeal.

"Big Brother, Big Sis, you've seen through it too, right? That Ji Feng isn't a good guy!" He Ming wasn't really stupid. With Big Brother and Big Sis talking like this, how could he not understand?

"She's family. You wouldn't want to see her end up in a dead-end situation, would you?" Wang Qinghe asked him again.

He Ming nodded, then his face fell in frustration. "I don't want that, but as you saw yesterday, with the way He Wei is acting, who's gonna risk stopping her from marrying Ji Feng? She'd tear them apart. Even Mom and Dad don’t know what to do, and neither do I."

"What do we do now? We can't just let Ji Feng get his way, can we?"

He Ming disliked Ji Feng and also couldn't stand He Tian. These two were exactly the types he hated the most!

He couldn't even imagine how he'd get through life facing these two annoying people if Ji Feng ended up mistreating He Wei. How would he cope?

"If you don’t want that, maybe we could invite Ji Feng over to the house more often? And delay He Wei's marriage a bit longer. It might start showing some good results soon." Bai Xiuxiu was almost finished eating, and it sounded like the baby in the room had woken up. Bai Xiuxiu wanted to check.

Wei Pozi quickly got up. "You keep eating. I’ll go check on the baby."

He Ming was thrown off by Bai Xiuxiu’s suggestion. "This... Won’t this just make He Wei fall even harder for him? She already likes him. If he keeps coming over, won’t she end up giving him the whole farm?"

"He Wei’s into him, but he’s not into her."

Bai Xiuxiu continued.

"Ah?" He Ming was even more confused. Does Big Sister know something?

"I’ve seen the way Ji Feng looks at He Huihui. It’s anything but innocent." Bai Xiuxiu didn’t beat around the bush.

"What the actual hell?"

He Ming was so shocked he almost dropped his soup bowl.

He Huihui?

Ji Feng?

"What’s so great about He Huihui? Is Ji Feng blind or something? Wait, how do you know all this, Big Sister?"
