Chapter 453

"Dad, wait for me, I want to go see big brother too." He Ming, seeing his father finally not acting as if he had lost his mind like he had been before, was extremely happy and hurriedly followed out.

Xu Niandi stood at the doorway, looking somewhat worried: "Cheng ge, shouldn't you also go and take a look?"

He Cheng frowned tightly upon hearing this: "Nah, I don't get along with that Wang Qinghe. I'm not like He Ming, that little fool, who's carefree all day.

How much has Wang Qinghe taken from me?

Besides, if there really was something, wouldn't they have told Dad when they came to take Third Uncle away?

I think it's nothing."

"We should at least go and check it out, otherwise, if only He Ming goes, Dad might think poorly of us," Xu Niandi felt that in this regard, He Cheng was not as good as his brother.

He Cheng felt really uneasy about going to see Wang Qinghe.

"Forget it, I'm all sore from fighting today, I need to lie down for a while. I need to save my energy, with what happened today, our family is sure to have a big scene tonight.

I'd better rest well and wait to see the commotion tonight.

Niandi, come and rest with me for a bit.

Look, He Wei didn't come out today either, right? I don't believe she didn't hear the commotion."

He Cheng lay down, feeling comfortable, and seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Xu Niandi simply gave up.

"Alright, He Wei didn't go either," Xu Niandi was still worried about her family. After today's events, it would be impossible to ask He Cheng to help her family again.

They too, He Cheng fought for his brother, and they just ran away with him.

Now, no one comes out looking good.

Xu Niandi touched her belly, thinking that maybe after the baby is born, things might ease up between her family and her in-laws.

In the living room, He Quan stood there gloomily for a while, feeling that this couldn't go on, he also chased after them.

He Ming followed He Zhifei on his bike, feeling worried: "Dad, this time, you must not be soft-hearted. You can't plead for big brother, we don't even know how he's doing now."

He Zhifei glanced at his son, realizing that his son understood many things better than he did.

Earlier, his son had told him not to favor Youde's family in this matter.

Unfortunately, at the time, he only thought about making it up to his eldest son in other ways.

Now, it's come to this, and there's no way to fix it.

"You're close to your brother; how does he see me and your mom?" He Zhifei felt uneasy.

"How does he see you? With his eyes, obviously," He Ming was as sarcastic as ever.

He Zhifei looked like he wanted to kick him off the bike.

Only then did He Ming get serious: "Dad, what is there to see? If big brother took you seriously, he wouldn't even have to live.

How could you even ask that?"

"If it were me, I wouldn’t even dare to ask."

After saying that, He Ming sped up his bicycle, trying to get away from him.

He noticed his father didn’t chase after him to scold him, which was odd.

He Zhifei furrowed his brow, deep in thought; perhaps He Ming was right.

If his eldest son really cared about him and Yingying, how could he live with himself?

Neither he nor Yingying had truly looked after this child; everyone had brought the child to the provincial capital for their own interests.

At the time, they had even been pretty harsh...

The two of them quickly got there.

Before they could go in, they saw Wang Qinghe coming out.

When Wang Qinghe saw He Zhifei and He Ming together, he knew they were there for him.

"Big brother!" He Ming dropped his bike and ran over.

He looked him over: "Big brother, are you okay?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Wang Qinghe shot back.

"You don’t know, someone from our family just took Third Uncle away. They said he got Old Wang’s people to hire a group to hurt you. Dad and I were worried something could’ve happened to you.

You’re really not hurt?"

He Ming's face was filled with worry.

Behind him, He Zhifei realized his younger son had already said everything by the time he got off his bike.

Why was this kid such a pain?

"I'm fine." Seeing He Ming so anxious, Wang Qinghe's attitude eased up a little.

He Zhifei came over, saw his son was fine, and felt relieved: "Glad you’re okay. We were really worried when we heard.

Qinghe, it's getting late. Why don’t you come home with us?

Your mom can make dinner, and we’ll eat at home."

"It’s getting late. I need to go back and get ready to pick up my wife. I won’t be going to the He family." Wang Qinghe refused without hesitation.

He had already done what he wanted to do; now it was just a matter of waiting to see how things play out.

"This is about your Third Uncle. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get justice." He Zhifei felt uncomfortable with his son's distant attitude and knew his own actions hadn't been good.

He regretted not siding with his son back then; now, neither of them was happy.

"I’m heading back. Can I borrow your bike?" Wang Qinghe said to He Ming.

"Sure! I'll come get it tonight." He Ming quickly pushed the bicycle over.

Even after Wang Qinghe was long gone, He Zhifei was still stuck in his regret.

"Dad, my big brother is already far away. What are you still standing there for?" He Ming truly regretted only now realizing that his parents weren't very bright.

The thought that he might have taken after his parents made He Ming even more upset.

"What did you say?" He Zhifei raised his hand, ready to strike.

"Isn't that the truth? Dad, what should we do now? You came to see my big brother, but he's already back home." He Ming quickly changed the subject, also worried that his father might decide to visit his third uncle as well.

But he probably wouldn't be able to see him now, right?

"Let's head home!"

They returned home, and as soon as they entered, they saw the old man holding a cup of water, with a bottle of medicine of unknown type beside him.

Sitting on the sofa, upright and stern.

Both of them were taken aback.

He Zhifei was somewhat impatient: "Dad, what are you trying to do? Wasn't threatening me last time enough? Now you're at it again?"

He Quan glanced at his eldest son, but after just one look, he lowered his head and began to cry.

"Grandpa, instead of crying, why don't you go see my big brother?" He Ming said helplessly.

He Zhifei thought of his eldest son, and his momentary softness vanished.

"Exactly, Dad, you're not visiting my son or resting at home. Why the tears?" He Zhifei's tone was harsh.

He Quan didn't mind, he just gazed at his eldest son, reluctant to look away, and after a while, he sighed.

His tone was full of regret.

"Zhifei, I won't go see Qinghe. Qinghe must have misunderstood his third uncle too, and even you, his own brother, have misunderstood Youde, let alone Qinghe, his nephew.

He can't make heads or tails of it, those folks from Old Wang’s are eager to pin the blame on Youde.

As a father, I can't stand by and watch my child suffer such a great injustice.

But I'm not much help, I've given it a lot of thought, I can't let you do anything more for your brother's sake.

I'll take the medicine soon, and once I'm gone, tell Youde to lay all the blame on me. It's the only way."
