    Chapter 422

    Although she could explain He Wei's situation clearly, when it came to himself, he couldn't explain his own situation clearly.

    He simply had a liking for Mengmeng.

    He Ming suppressed his worries and quickly rode his bike to catch up with Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu ahead: "Hey bro, sis, wanna grab dinner at home today?"

    "Today? We have something else to do today." Wang Qinghe declined He Ming's invitation. Some things were better said by He Ming than by him in the He family.

    He Ming was taken aback. Was his big brother upset?

    Yeah, if he were in big brother's shoes, he'd be pissed too.

    Third Uncle and Old Wang’s family had caused big brother a lot of trouble over the years. Dad forgiving Old Wang’s family for Third Uncle's sake was already outrageous. Now, Third Uncle had secretly brought Old Wang’s family to the provincial city.

    If he hadn't witnessed it himself, big brother and sister-in-law would have no way to explain it.

    Just thinking about it gets me all worked up!

    He Ming, filled with indignation, didn't persuade further, just reassured them: "Big brother, sister-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely tell mom and dad about today's events. I won't let Third Uncle's family get away with this!"

    Wang Qinghe glanced at He Ming: "Your Third Uncle is far more cunning than you realize."

    He Ming was stunned: "What?"

    "Your Third Uncle, how did he treat He Tian before? And how did he treat you?" Wang Qinghe asked him in return.

    He Youde used to be very strict with He Tian, hoping he would succeed.

    But with He Ming, he always took He Ming and He Cheng out to play.

    He Ming even reminisced about He Youde's kindness and told him about it.

    Reflecting on the unpredictability of life and the complexity of human hearts.

    He Ming was at a loss for words after Wang Qinghe's question.

    Third Uncle? Yeah, he used to be good to me...

    Wait?

    Third Uncle never took He Tian out to play? During school, when he was doing homework, Third Uncle always found a way to sneak him out.

    Or told him that He Tian could help him with his homework.

    And then...

    Then he got scolded.

    And second brother too, when they were young, Third Uncle, who always lived at home, often took them out.

    They used to play with Third Uncle when they were kids.

    He Tian always stayed with his dad reading books?

    Later, dad even said that he and He Cheng weren't close to him, He Tian was more like his son.

    He Ming felt like he had pieced something together, and his expression turned grim.

    Wang Qinghe's words were just enough to make his point. His and Xiuxiu's enemies were almost all gathered now. Is there a better time to strike back than now?

    "You're about to fall into the ditch," Wang Qinghe reminded He Ming, who was about to fall into the drainage ditch.

    He Ming snapped back to reality and let out a scream the next second, quickly turning towards them, almost really falling into the drainage ditch.

    Still shaken and troubled by the anomalies he had just thought of, He Ming was in a bad state: "I... Third Uncle..."

    Bai Xiuxiu saw that He Ming was already overwhelmed, feeling a bit helpless, and there were still things she hadn't told him.

    He Ming's Second Sister-in-law, Xu Niandi, was also introduced by He Huihui.

    Isn't it clear what the intention is now?

    However, both of them are married, and Xu Niandi has no grudge against her, so she won't say more.

    Even though it was winter, He Ming felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

    Had Third Uncle been plotting against them all along? To turn them all into useless people? Although being useless also has to do with their own lack of effort, but Third Uncle...

    He definitely can't get away with it either!

    He Ming's silence lasted until Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe got home.

    "We're home, don't zone out and fall again," Bai Xiuxiu jumped off the bicycle, seeing He Ming still listless, she reminded him.

    He Ming nodded, still dazed.

    "Big brother, sister-in-law... thank you, otherwise I might not have realized it anytime soon," He Ming rode his bike home.

    When he got home, the family had also returned.

    Qi Yingying was picking vegetables, and He Wei, unlike before, was not isolating herself in the room, she was also helping her mother pick vegetables.

    Seeing him return, Qi Yingying was very happy: "He Ming is back? How was work today? Are you adjusting? Do you feel uncomfortable? If so, tell mom, mom will have your dad figure something out, we'll find you an easier job."

    He Zhifei, reading the newspaper on the sofa, frowned at her words.

    Here we go again, she's starting again!

    Before He Zhifei could speak, He Ming himself refused first, he quickly waved his hand: "No, mom, please don't. Big brother has been in the provincial capital for so long, there's no one in our workshop who doesn't praise him for his work.

    He hasn't even taken on light work yet, I just got here, and you want to switch me to a better one, what would big brother think?

    We're all your sons, and I'm younger than big brother! Shouldn't I be the one to endure hardship first?"

    He Ming retorted to Qi Yingying.

    Qi Yingying's face turned awkward, what's going on with He Ming? Why is he starting to side with his big brother?

    Lately, it seems like he's always been on his big brother's side.

    Really...

    "You're such a grown-up, yet not as sensible as your son. He Ming is right, if you really do this, what would Qinghe think?" He Zhifei was quite satisfied with his younger son.

    Indeed, a son must be taught by oneself, only then can he understand things.

    "Fine, you all have your reasons, only I don't. I care about He Ming, and I care wrongly?" Qi Yingying angrily threw the vegetables into the basin.

    He Ming gave an awkward smile, then his expression turned serious again.

    "Dad, there's something I need to tell you."

    As he spoke, he glanced over at his grandfather, who was sitting on the sofa.

    Frowning.

    "Just spit it out, why all the mystery?" He Zhifei was in a good mood, and He Ming's recent behavior had made him a little more patient.

    "Dad, my brother and I saw Old Wang’s family today. Old Wang’s second son and youngest son have also come to work at our factory as temporary workers."

    He Ming spoke seriously.

    He Zhifei was stunned. "Really? That’s happening?"

    Qi Yingying frowned too when she heard this. Seeing her son's expression, she sensed that this matter wasn’t so simple.

    "The factory isn’t ours. Isn’t it normal for other families to work there too?"

    He Quan chuckled to himself, thinking, "Youde wouldn’t be dumb enough to let He Ming see him, would he?"

    He had repeatedly warned Youde to be careful when bringing them there.

    He Ming shot a glance at his grandfather and sneered, "Yeah, normally that’d be the case. But today, the person accompanying them was my third uncle. Third uncle brought Old Wang’s family to work at the factory.

    Even though they’re just temporary workers, Old Wang’s family is the one who took my brother away.

    And third uncle too.

    Dad, forgiving third uncle once was more than enough. Now he’s hanging out with that family again. What’s he up to? Trying to mess with my brother again?"

    He Ming retorted to He Quan.
