Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Yufeng had already prepared the food. When Su Li and the rest returned, he could heat it up and eat it. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not see Su Li and the rest. He started to feel a little anxious!
Could something have happened?
He Yufeng couldn’t help but start to think negatively. Perhaps Su Li had sold the two children?
He Yufeng couldn’t help but have all kinds of thoughts. After all, Su Li used to have a criminal record. Previously, when he wasn’t at home, she had wanted to sell the two children many times. After all, she had always thought of them as a humiliation to her!
“Impossible, she’s not that kind of person!” Another voice sounded in his heart.
He Yufeng recalled Su Li’s recent behavior and her love for the children. The gentleness in her eyes did not seem to be fake. After all, a person’s gaze could not deceive others!
He Yufeng suddenly stood up.
With a bang, the stool fell to the ground because its owner suddenly stood up. A tall figure walked towards the door.
He Yufeng hurriedly walked towards Old Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village.
Old Zhao was eating when the door of his house was pushed open, scaring him.
When he saw who it was, he patted his chest in fear.
“You scared me to death. Why didn’t you knock when you came in?”
He thought that someone was looking for trouble with him. He was almost scared out of his wits!
He Yufeng glanced at him. “Let me borrow your ox cart.”
Old Zhao rolled his eyes when he heard He Yufeng’s voice. Without thinking, he said, “No!”
The road had not been peaceful recently. If he borrowed his ox cart at night, what if his ox was robbed by bandits?
He Yufeng glanced at him coldly. “What did you say?”
Old Zhao felt a cold wind blow at his back and could not help but shiver. He saw He Yufeng’s ashen face and remembered that He Yufeng had never been someone to be trifled with. What if he beat him up?
He was old and couldn’t take it anymore.
After some thought, Old Zhao explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you. You know that the road hasn’t been peaceful recently. I’m relying on this ox cart for my retirement!”
He was telling the truth. The road had indeed not been peaceful recently!
He Yufeng said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. If the ox cart is gone, I’ll compensate you!”
Old Zhao was speechless.
In the end, He Yufeng still managed to borrow Old Zhao’s ox cart. Old Zhao looked at He Yufeng’s departing figure and sighed, mumbling non-stop.
Seeing him like this, Old Zhao’s wife couldn’t help but say, “You’ve already lent it out. What’s the use of sighing now?”
“I was forced into a corner, wasn’t I? If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t beat him, I would have pressed him to the ground and beaten him up!”
“Alright, alright. Don’t talk nonsense here. Clean up the house. The children will be back tomorrow!”
On the other side…
Su Li lovingly patted the two little fellows’ heads, her eyes filled with heartache.
He Qingmu and He Qingyao lay on her lap. Their cute appearances really melted Su Li.
“Mother…” He Qingmu looked up at her.
“What’s wrong?” Su Li looked at him gently.
He Qingmu pointed at the courtyard outside and said, “It’s almost dark outside. If we don’t go back now, will Father be worried about us?”
He Qingyao also looked at Su Li worriedly.
