In the cramped room, He Zifeng sat motionless. He had maintained this posture for an hour. It wasn't until his father's scolding voice sounded outside that he gradually came back to his senses.
"Day by day, you really think of yourself as a young master, and you don't even urinate to show your virtue. At my age, I don't even think about hiding in the house every day to enjoy the blessings. What the hell are you." Old man He Dong Lai cursed angrily.
Everyone in the family knew that he was scolding the second oldest child, He Zifeng.
He Zifeng was a stupid young man outside, but when he saw his father, he was like a mouse when he saw a cat. His father glared at him so much that he was too frightened to speak. After being scolded by such a slanderous person, I must have come out obediently to admit my mistake.
He Donglai, the scumbag, thought so too, but today he was unexpected. He, after all, it is a family matter for a father to beat his son.
He Zifeng is the worst person in the He family. They work more than donkeys and eat less than oxen.
The key is that their He family is not poor. The He family has the skill of making sauce. Even big restaurants in the county buy their flavored yellow sauce. They are one of the richest families in the village.
But He Zifeng was wearing short clothes, and his sleeves and ankles were flying. The cause of today's heat stroke was that I went up the mountain to cut firewood without eating enough. I couldn't bear the heat in this hot summer. As soon as my eyes darkened, I was sent back by some young men from the same village.
He longed for his father's attention all his life, and until he died of exhaustion, his own father couldn't even part with a decent coffin board. In the end, it was his husband-in-law Qiu Yu who went to work in the county to allow him to be buried with dignity.
In his last life, he was like a puppet on a mission. He could only witness what happened but was unable to stop it. Except for the husband and wife who choose themselves, the rest cannot be controlled. He is a supporting character in the book. The real protagonist is the eldest brother brought by his stepmother. In his last life, he had been competing with his eldest brother and was always compared with him. Even his husband-in-law and son are inferior to others. He has completely become a stepping stone to the protagonist.
It would be fine if he was the only one suffering, but he was not willing to live with his wife and children in darkness!
When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the year when he was twenty-six years old. When he moved his hands, his body was entirely under his control.
In his mind, he was looking back at his miserable first half and second half of his life, as if he were just taking a quick look at it.
Soon a man came in from outside. His appearance was extremely handsome, turning into a kind of androgynous beauty. I was a little worried about him: "Are you okay?" The person who came was none other than his husband and wife. Qiu Yu, he is twenty-three years old.
He Zifeng saw him again and hugged him directly.
Qiu Yu seemed to be startled by his bold move and looked at He Zifeng with her almond-shaped eyes. But he was hugged so tightly that it was difficult to breathe.
Qiu Yu's eyes turned red when she looked at He Zifeng. After five years of marriage, this was the first time I saw him like this. Qiu Yu suddenly panicked.
He Zifeng said nonchalantly: "I will be at home from now on."
After being married for so long, He Zifeng is a man of few words. He Zifeng is the biological child of his scumbag father He Donglai, but he is like a superfluous person at home. He does all the work, but treats him as a transparent person when sharing the credit. He Zifeng never took the initiative to argue, although Qiu Yu didn't know what happened. But seeing that He Zifeng hadn't started working yet and said these words again, we knew that he must have been wronged.
There was deep affection in He Zifeng's eyes that Qiu Yu couldn't understand. His emotions were changing like a gushing volcano, but he suppressed them forcefully.
Qiu Yu looked at it and made herself blush. He married He Zifeng when he was eighteen years old, and his usual feelings were hidden. He is not as outgoing as his elder brother Wan Hai and his elder sister-in-law Xu Li, and he has a lot of work as a man. He falls asleep when he gets home every day and has no time to talk about romantic affairs.
At this moment, someone walked in through the door. A milky voice came: "Daddy, little daddy." It was He Ran, his only child. He was four years old this year and he was a beautiful little brother.
When Qiu Yu saw her son coming in, she quickly avoided He Zifeng intentionally. His thin red cheeks can be vaguely seen from the side.
"Of course, why are you back so early today?" Qiu Yu said.
He Ran said: "I went to pick up half a basket of firewood." He is four years old this year, and he is still old enough to run and jump. He was already collecting firewood behind the older child, who was seven or eight years old.
After He Ran finished speaking, he glanced at He Zifeng secretly, guessing that this was also hereditary. He longs for his father's approval, and the baby also wants his praise in every way.
He Zifeng is busy working all day long and has little time to care for his son. His son is shy and an older brother, and sometimes he avoids him, thinking that he doesn't like to be close to him. Now it seems that the child just doesn't know how to express it to him.
He Zifeng waved to his son.
Xiao Heran first hid in Qiu Yu's arms, and then secretly peeked through the gap. When he saw that He Zifeng was not angry, he ran over like a little rabbit, with an innocent look on his face: "When I grow up, I can help Dad with work."
He Zifeng's throat was a little clogged. Said: "Ran Ran is good."
Xiao Heran couldn't believe that he had never received praise from He Zifeng before, and then he mustered up the courage to hug He Zifeng's legs with his hands. Then the whole person was easily hugged by He Zifeng. "Of course, I'm still young. I don't have to collect firewood anymore. I can play with my brothers and sisters in the village."
Qiu Yu looked at her happy son and the man getting together, and couldn't bear to break this beauty.
Little Heran bounced twice in his father's arms, and then said in a sweet voice: "Listen to daddy."
"Good boy." He Zifeng praised.
The little kid probably followed Qiu Yu and was a shy little guy, with red cheeks but bright round eyes.
It was warm inside the house, but outside, I heard the sound of beatings and beatings coming from outside.
"If you don't work, you won't be able to eat. We don't raise lazy people in our family. Go and stew the meat for me. I will let my second brother watch the meat today." He Dong, the scumbag, said.
Wanshi from outside pretended to advise: "If you don't do it for the sake of the second child, you have to do it for the sake of the child."
"Shit, you're going to have to give birth to a brother, and you're going to have to support me? There's no coward in our He family who can't give birth to a son!" He Donglai became confused and scolded He Zifeng and his family with one sentence.
Xiao Wan's son Wan Hai has been included in the He family's ranking. He became the eldest brother. A few years ago, he married Xu Li, the village chief's brother. Xu Li gave birth to three sons. He Dabao was seven years old, He Erbao was five years old, and He Sanbao was three years old. In the countryside, whichever family has more sons will have a strong waist. It turns out that Xu Li's father is the village chief. He has given birth to three more children and is also very favored in the He family.
All the family's work was assigned to He Zifeng and Qiu Yu.
He Erbao went to school, but his family, He Ran, collected firewood every day.
He Zifeng and Qiu Yu were used to hearing these scoldings and didn't take them to heart, but it was different now. He Zifeng didn't care about that and came out with his son in his arms.
The scolding of the scumbag father He Donglai stopped abruptly. He is forty-five years old, in good health, with a long face and high cheekbones. The inverted triangular eyes would still be a bit eye-catching if they were lowered. Although the little Wan next to her is fat, her face is pretty. Coupled with her love of dressing up, she is quite handsome for her age.
He Donglai said with a tigerish face: "I know you are lazy, go and work."
He Zifeng sneered in his heart, the eldest brother helped the family run the sauce business, and the third child was raised by the family as a disabled person. The fourth child was also fed fine rice and fine grains, and the family treated the three of them as long-term workers.
They would starve him at every turn. In the past, He Zifeng never talked about these things, just treating them as a family scandal that should not be publicized. It actually improved Xiao Wan's good reputation. Now he doesn't want to work anymore. He looked at his father and said, "I'm not feeling well, so you should hire someone else."
The scumbag father He Donglai was stunned, and even little Wanshi was surprised. He Zifeng was so obedient to his father, why did his wings suddenly become stiff?
The author has something to say:
Explanation: The Xiao Gong in the previous life was still him. It can be understood that part of the three souls and seven souls were lost and implanted in the mission. Only on the day when he married Xiao Shou Qiuyu, the real Xiao Gong could control the body for a short time. In this life, he shuffled the cards and started over. Without the intellectual manipulation in the book, he could have a completely different life.
