Chapter 297 Rebuked by Dad for Stepping on Two Boats
After Hong Desheng got the prescription, he left in a hurry.
Busy going to the drug store to grab medicine and then boil it as quickly as possible.
I hope that if I drink it today, it will be effective tonight.
"Xiaoyu, I don't think the couple just now are rich people. Isn't it bad for you to charge them so much money?"
"We can't make money without conscience."
After everyone left, Hong Changshou expressed dissatisfaction with Hong Yu's acceptance of 400,000 from Zhang Qiaoqiao just now.
Just now, there were outsiders here, so it was hard for him to say anything because he had to give his son face.
But now, he feels that he should teach his son not to go astray. It is OK to make money, but he cannot be too cruel.
"Dad, they are indeed not rich people, but they are evil people who eat people without spitting out their bones."
Hong Yu immediately explained briefly to Hong Changshou the fact that Zhang Qiaoqiao and his wife abused Bai Yinyin and her sister.
After Hong Changshou heard this, he was extremely angry and cursed: "There are such vicious uncles and aunts in this world."
"Xiaoyu, you are doing the right thing. People with no conscience like them should be killed without mercy."
"It was all dad's fault just now. I wrongly blamed you. Please don't be angry with dad, okay?"
Hong Changshou looked at his son apologetically.
How could I question that my son was a money-grubbing person?
Thinking about it, he felt ashamed.
Hong Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, it's okay. I know you also want me to take the right path."
"Okay, dad, let's not talk about this anymore. Come in and eat quickly. The food is already cold."
Then, the father and son walked into the house happily.
"Xiaoyu, there is something else that dad wants to tell you."
Hong Changshou sat back down at the Eight Immortals table to eat, his expression suddenly became nervous, and he looked around.
"Dad, what happened? It's so mysterious?" Hong Yu asked with a frown.
"Some villagers said that our house is haunted," Hong Changshou said in a low voice.
"Haunted?"
Hong Yu looked stunned, thinking it was impossible, he didn't realize there was evil in this room.
Hong Changshou nodded and said: "Yes, it is haunted."
"In the past few days, some villagers tried to enter our house, but they couldn't get in and were knocked dizzy."
"Maybe I don't believe it when one person says this, but many villagers reported this situation to me, saying that the entrance to our house is blocked by a layer of invisible things."
"The villagers all said that our house must be haunted. Outsiders are not allowed in. I am the only one who can come and go at will."
Hong Yu suddenly realized.
He set up a defensive formation around the house, so of course no outsiders could come in.
Dad has a pestle in his hand, so he can naturally go in and out at will.
But the explanation was too weird for Dad.
Dad probably would rather believe that the house is haunted than believe that he can set up such a defensive formation.
So Hong Yu had no choice but to follow Hong Changshou's words and said:
"Even if it is haunted, then this ghost is still a good ghost. Anyway, he is friendly to our family. No, he didn't keep me out of the yard."
"Yes, you came into the house too."
Only then did Hong Changshou react and said, "Is it true that only members of our family can come in, and no one else can?"
Hong Yu said: "Dad, your analysis makes sense. Maybe my grandfather's ghost has appeared and is silently protecting the safety of our family. Last time, a robber came into our house and knocked you unconscious."
When Hong Changshou heard this, he thought it made sense.
Could it be that his deceased father really appeared?
He turned his head and looked at the black and white photo of his old father above his ancestors. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the only possibility.
People in rural areas believe in ghosts and gods. Hong Changshou would also go to the Tutu Temple in the village to burn incense during the New Year and festivals.
So, he quickly got up, walked to the middle of the living room, clasped his hands, and bowed devoutly three times to the picture of his old father.
After paying homage, he did not forget to say to Hong Yu: "Xiaoyu, come here too and pay homage to your grandfather."
Hong Yu: "..."
Come on, you're hurting yourself by digging a hole for yourself.
"OK."
Hong Yu nodded, not daring to disobey his father. Anyway, he wanted to worship his own grandfather.
After getting up and walking to his father's side, Hong Yu bowed skillfully three times to the photo of his grandfather placed on the ancestral wall.
"Xiaoyu, Uncle Hong, what are you doing?"
At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the yard outside the house.
This girl came so early... Hong Yu recognized Zhou Wanrou's voice and turned around helplessly, waving towards Zhou Wanrou.
"Miss Zhou, it's you, why are you here?"
Hong Changshou was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Wanrou.
How could this girl enter the courtyard?
It’s really strange!
"Uncle Hong, I...I'm here to see Xiaoyu."
Zhou Wanrou smiled shyly, feeling like she was meeting her parents for the first time.
"Oh, come in quickly."
Hong Changshou quickly called Zhou Wanrou into the house.
"Eh!"
Zhou Wanrou nodded and walked into the house holding the gift in both hands.
"Uncle Hong, I don't know what you like, so I bought some tea and liquor as a small gift from me."
Zhou Wanrou handed the gift in her hand to Hong Changshou.
"You kid, you're just here. What else are you buying? My uncle doesn't need it. You can take it back later." Hong Changshou declined.
Zhou Wanrou smiled and said: "Uncle, I bought them all, just accept them."
As she spoke, she winked at Hong Yu.
Hong Yu understood and said, "Dad, since it is Wanrou's heart, just accept it."
"This..." Hong Changshou was still hesitating, but seeing Zhou Wanrou looking at him expectantly, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay then, I'll accept it."
Hong Changshou reached out to take the gift from Zhou Wanrou's hand and said, "Miss Zhou, I really spent a lot of money on you."
"It's not a waste at all. I honor my uncle."
Zhou Wanrou smiled and said: "Uncle, don't call me Miss Zhou anymore. Call me Wanrou. Xiaoyu and I are already together. It's so unkind for you to call me Miss Zhou."
"What? Are you together?"
Hong Changshou was so shocked that the gift in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Well, Xiaoyu didn't tell you about the relationship confirmed a few days ago?"
Zhou Wanrou rolled her eyes at Hong Yu next to her with resentment. She had a girlfriend and she didn't even tell her family. What was she trying to do?
Hong Yu looked embarrassed.
He just came back and hasn't had time to say anything yet.
Besides, he had no shame at all.
Dad still thinks that sister Linger is his girlfriend.
Hong Changshou came back to his senses, glared at Hong Yu, and cursed secretly: "You little bastard, are you really good at this? Are you trying to step on a few boats? Let's see how I deal with you later."
But on the surface, he still didn't expose Hong Yu and smiled at Zhou Wanrou:
"Sister Zhou... No, no... Wanrou, I'm really sorry. Xiaoyu just came back and he hasn't had time to tell me about this situation."
"Just came back?" Zhou Wanrou frowned, thinking, that's not right, didn't you just come back from the provincial capital the day before yesterday?
It’s over, dad is about to reveal the truth about why I just came home today... Hong Yu quickly said: "Yes, I just came back from doing errands outside, and I was about to talk to dad about our affairs, but who knew
You're here."
It turned out that she had just returned from doing something. Zhou Wanrou's inner doubts were cleared up. Hong Yu told her yesterday that he would go out to do something this morning, so he didn't think much about it.
She looked at Hong Changshou and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's okay. It's the same now that I know. Just don't dislike me."
Hong Changshou smiled and said: "How could this happen? Wanrou, you are so beautiful and you come from a big family. Xiaoyu is lucky to have you as his girlfriend."
"Sit down quickly and I'll cut the watermelon for you to eat."
Being recognized by Hong Changshou, Zhou Wanrou was extremely happy and said hurriedly: "Uncle, there is no need to work anymore."
"Wanrou, you sit down and don't worry about anything else. You are a distinguished guest today."
As Hong Changshou spoke, he walked out of the hall and went to the kitchen in the courtyard to cut watermelons.
At this time, only Hong Yu and Zhou Wanrou were left in the hall.
"I'm here, why aren't you happy at all?"
Zhou Wanrou rolled her eyes at Hong Yu, feeling a little angry.
"Who said I'm unhappy?" Hong Yu shrugged.
"Hmph, a woman's intuition tells me that you are not very happy." Zhou Wanrou said resentfully.
Hong Yu said: "Then your intuition may be wrong."
"I don't believe it, unless you kiss me now." Zhou Wanrou said with a blushing face.
Hong Yu: "???"
"This is not good, be careful if my dad sees it." Hong Yu said.
"My uncle has gone out. Besides, if you are seen, you will see it. We are not having an affair, we are honest boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Just tell me, do you want to kiss me?"
Zhou Wanrou was so angry that she stamped her feet. A girl took the initiative to ask for a kiss, but this guy actually refused.
"Heh... that's okay." Hong Yu had no choice but to put his arms around the woman's waist, lowered his head and kissed her.
Only then did Zhou Wanrou reveal a happy smile.
At the same time, footsteps suddenly came from the door of the hall.
The two of them took a step back almost at the same time, separated their bodies, and turned to look at the door of the hall.
Hong Changshou didn't know when he was already standing at the gate.
It turned out that when Hong Changshou walked to the kitchen, he remembered that the watermelon had been placed in the utility room of the main house, and he was about to go back to the house to get the watermelon.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door of the hall, I saw a side that I shouldn't have seen.
"Ahem, I didn't see anything. I came to get the watermelon."
Hong Changshou said awkwardly, walked quickly into the utility room, hugged a watermelon, and quickly walked out of the house.
Zhou Wanrou's pretty face was already blushing. She felt so humiliated that she pinched Hong Yu's arm angrily and complained:
"It's all your fault. It's fine now. My uncle must have thought I was an immoral woman this time, doing such shameful things in broad daylight."
Hong Yu said speechlessly: "Why do you blame me? Didn't you ask me to kiss you?"
"If I ask you to kiss me, just do it." Zhou Wanrou said coquettishly.
Hong Yu: "..."
He finally understood what it meant to make trouble unreasonably.
Too lazy to argue with women.
"You can just find a stool to sit on, and I'll help my dad cut the watermelon."
Hong Yu said that and walked out of the house.
"Xiaoyu, I..."
Zhou Wanrou also realized that she was a bit unreasonable and was about to apologize to Hong Yu, but Hong Yu had already walked out of the house.
My mood suddenly became very low.
In the simple kitchen built in the yard, Hong Changshou saw his son coming and asked, "Why are you here, other than to accompany Miss Zhou?"
Hong Yu said: "She didn't want me to accompany her, so she asked me to come over and help you cut the watermelon."
"Oh." Hong Changshou nodded, and then beckoned Hong Yu to come to him: "Come here, dad has something to ask you."
Hong Yu knew what his father wanted to ask, so he walked to his side and said, "Dad, if you have any questions, just ask."
"Are you really with this Miss Zhou?" Hong Changshou asked.
Hong Yu nodded.
"What about Ling'er? Isn't she your girlfriend?" Hong Changshou asked again.
Hong Yu said: "No, we are just good friends."
"What kind of good friends can sleep in the same bed?" Hong Changshou's tone was obviously a little serious.
Hong Yu didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"You're speechless, aren't you?"
Hong Changshou scolded: "Xiaoyu, you have grown up and you have always been an obedient child. My father has never said anything harsh to you. This time, my father will warn you. If you dare to act recklessly, you will be hurt."
If you know how sincere this girl is to you, see if I don’t deal with you."
Hong Yu nodded and said, "Dad, I know."
Hong Changshou said again: "Ling'er and this Miss Zhou, you have to make a choice, you can't stand on both sides."
Hong Yu said: "Dad, I can do it."
During the whole process, Hong Yu was like a child who had done something wrong. He stood and listened to the instructions and did not dare to lose his temper.
At this moment, there is no great master or miraculous doctor.
He is just a son.
Hong Changshou sighed, shook his head and said: "Hey, you are such an old man now. I don't want to say anything unnecessary, nor do I want to interfere in your private life. I hope you can handle this matter as soon as possible, no matter what you are."
Whether you choose Ling'er or Miss Zhou, you must explain your reasons clearly to another person and apologize, do you understand?"
Hong Yu said: "Dad, I understand."
"Okay, take this cut watermelon into the house and give it to Miss Zhou to try." Hong Changshou waved.
"Hey," Hong Yu nodded, picked up the cut watermelon in a basin, and was about to leave.
"Xiaoyu, wait a moment." Hong Changshou suddenly called out.
"Dad, do you have any other instructions?" Hong Yu turned around.
Hong Changshou said: "You said...how could Miss Zhou enter our house this week? Why wasn't she stopped outside the courtyard?"
"This..." Hong Yu was speechless.
When he came back, he had already removed the defensive formations.
Let alone Zhou Wanrou, anyone who wants to come in can come in.
"This may be because Wanrou came to our house last time. Grandpa's ghost saw her and knew she was my friend, so she didn't stop her from coming in." Hong Yu kept telling lies.
This time he finally understood the true meaning of the sentence "Once you tell a lie, you have to use thousands of lies to cover it up."
Hong Changshou frowned and thought, is this really the case?
Logically speaking, the villagers in the village were known to the old father during his lifetime, and they should not be stopped.
When he was about to ask Hong Yu again, Hong Yu had already left with the watermelon basin.
If he doesn't pull away, Hong Yu won't know how to cover up his lie.
"Eat watermelon."
Back in the hall, Hong Yu put the watermelon basin on the Eight Immortals table and said lightly to Zhou Wanrou.
Zhou Wanrou didn't like Hong Yu's cold attitude towards her. She felt very sad and admitted her mistake: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I just..."
Hong Yu said: "It's okay. I didn't take it to heart about what happened just now. Just eat the watermelon."
"Are you really okay?"
Zhou Wanrou didn't believe it, she could sense that something was wrong with Hong Yu's mood.
Hong Yu really didn't take Zhou Wanrou's unreasonable troubles to heart just now. The reason why he was in a bad mood was because he felt very guilty.
Dad's words woke him up. If he is treading two boats, one day he will overturn. What will he do then?
Forget it, I still don’t think about it, it’s just a waste of trouble.
Let's take a step at a time.
"It's really okay, just eat the watermelon."
Hong Yu grinned and stopped thinking about it.
He picked up a piece of watermelon from the basin and handed it to Zhou Wanrou's mouth.
"Um!"
Seeing that Hong Yu was really not angry anymore, Zhou Wanrou smiled happily and took a bite of the watermelon.
Watermelon is very sweet, and my heart feels even sweeter.
