Chapter 392

He Tian asked about the thing that had been worrying him the most lately. To get Old Wang’s family to drive away Wang Qinghe, the price they had to pay this time wasn’t small.

This family… he didn’t have much good feeling for them.

If they had kept their word and followed the agreement made with his father back in the day, Wang Qinghe wouldn’t have survived at all.

How could there be so many troublesome things?

The mess they created now required their own family to pay and beg them for help. The thought of it made him feel disgusted.

"Don’t worry, they are still stronger than us. There are some things that aren’t suitable for us to do. Letting them make a fuss is just right. In any case, we can’t let that country bumpkin who returned from outside have an easy time. Your uncle hates losing face the most.

As long as that country bumpkin causes him to lose face, he will eventually be abandoned by your uncle.

Don’t be afraid, with grandpa and your dad here, everything will be fine."

He Quan was confident in his understanding of his son. That country bumpkin, how capable could he be? A genius? Their family never had such a thing.

Hearing his grandfather’s words, He Tian felt panicked.

He had trusted his grandfather and father before, and now things had become so passive.

Nothing good had happened recently!

The two of them, grandfather and grandson, talked about their worries along the way. By the time they arrived home, neither of them had a good expression on their faces.

Especially when they saw He Huihui sitting on the kang.

"Xiao Tian is back? It’s so cold today, why did you come back to see Mom?" He Youde’s wife was both happy and concerned for her son.

She was preparing to make dinner. There was sort of a good thing happening in the family today.

"Mom, I didn’t want to come back either, but I had no choice, right? My sister is almost ruining my face, and I don’t even know what she’s trying to do."

He Tian gave He Huihui a cold look.

Hearing him say that, He Huihui also felt wronged and shouted at him, "What do you mean I’m ruining your face? Even Dad didn’t say that. What gives you the right?"

"Dad didn’t say anything?" He Tian was dumbfounded.

"What’s wrong with me marrying Ji Feng? Uncle’s family didn’t kick you out. After I marry Ji Feng, I can help you get more benefits. He Tian, what else are you not satisfied with?

If you’re really not satisfied, then just pretend I’m not your sister. In the future, we’ll live our own lives."

He Huihui was so angry that she was about to cry. If she hadn’t been thinking about needing He Tian to support her in the future, she really wouldn’t want such a brother.

He only ever thought about himself.

He Tian also felt a bit awkward. He had been angry all the way because his plan had been disrupted and had forgotten about this.

When He Youde returned from fetching firewood, he heard his daughter and son arguing. He put down the firewood and came in to mediate, "What are you two arguing about? Xiao Tian, as an older brother, others criticize your sister, and you do too?"

"Xiao Tian is just very angry, but he still cares about his sister. Otherwise, how could it be that when I went to find him, he immediately came back with me?

Youde, both Xiao Tian and I are shocked about today’s matter.

Huihui she…"

He Quan tried to cover up for his grandson.

When he heard this, He Youde looked utterly dejected. "Huihui said she was deceived by He Ming. Lately, that boy He Ming has been acting weird, getting unusually close to He Wei.

Even the postponement of Ji Feng and He Wei's wedding was stirred up by He Ming.

He keeps calling Ji Feng over to the He family. This time, Ji Feng asked He Ming several times to confirm that no one from the He family was home, and He Ming himself went out saying he was looking for his older brother.

The house was empty, and Huihui and Ji Feng had long harbored feelings for each other.

Just as they got together, someone returned home.

He Wei caught them red-handed, and there was no way to explain it.

It completely ruined Huihui’s well-laid plan.

When He Youde learned about his daughter’s original plan, he felt heartbroken that such a good plan was ruined so easily.

"Could it be their doing?" He Tian felt uneasy. Could that bastard have done something?

Does he even have the brains for something like that?

"Whether or not, Youde, come with me to Old Wang’s place in the county again tomorrow. I’ve already asked my old friend to help us with the temporary workers.

As luck would have it, I managed to secure a suitable temporary worker position.

My old friend also mentioned that we’ve stumbled upon a good opportunity recently.

"We sure have good luck."

He Quan urged his son, but he couldn't help feeling that the Old Wang family had incredible luck.

Especially their daughter-in-law.

"Is it settled?" He Youde asked excitedly, this was great news.

Once this is done, there will be hope for the little bastard at our brother's place.

Now, Brother treats He Tian so poorly. Staying with Brother won't do He Tian any good. We must get rid of that little bastard, and I already have an idea on how to do it.

We just need to wait for them to come to the provincial capital and coordinate with us.

"Dad, why don't we leave tonight? It could save some time; this is a big deal," He Youde felt that the longer they waited, the more things could go wrong.

"Tonight?" He Quan hesitated. He was already exhausted from today, and another night on the train?

That would be the end of him. He Youde wasn't considering his old bones at all.

"Dad, Grandpa has been running around all day for this matter. How can we ask him to go now? Let's rest for the night. One more night won't make a difference."

He Tian noticed Grandpa's displeasure and quickly tried to smooth things over for his father.

Grandpa was the crucial link that kept them stable at Uncle's place; they couldn't let him lose faith in them.

Hearing this, He Youde slapped his forehead, "Right, right, Dad has been tired all day. Look at me, I'm just too excited. Dad, have you eaten yet? My wife is cooking. Why don't you stay for dinner?

And spend the night here. We can leave early tomorrow morning, it'll be more convenient."

He Youde was overwhelmed with emotion.

He Quan turned down his son’s suggestion: "I've already eaten at your older brother’s place. And staying here... that’s not an option. Your older brother is still upset with you. If I don’t go back, and only Xiao Tian goes back, I’m afraid they’ll make things difficult for Xiao Tian.

If I go back with him, I can look after him.

I'll come over again after I have breakfast tomorrow morning. No need to worry; getting there too early won’t help. We don’t even know if the county offices will be closed tomorrow."

He Youde felt let down, hoping they could have left earlier.

"How about waiting until Xiao Tian eats dinner at home before you leave?" He Youde sighed.

"I won’t eat either; I can’t eat knowing what Huihui is going through. Dad, what did the people from Ji Feng’s house say? They’re not going to back out, are they?"

He Tian was worried about how much the family would receive, especially given all the losses they had already faced. If the Ji family causes any more issues, Huihui’s situation could get worse. They couldn’t afford to drop the ball now.
