Chapter 143
Chapter 143 - Situation
Lin Yuxing and the others decided to go to Lee Village early the next morning. As for the presents they brought Lin Guang, since they had already given them the brown rice, they would give them a small bag of brown rice and two kilograms of pork.
Originally, dad and the others did not agree to do that, since it was their first time at Guang's home, they would look down on Lin Guang this way. But Lin Yuxing explained it to them, giving them two more kilograms of pork was already considered good, and after knowing that Lin Guang had a laddie, he brought some snacks over, and of course there were some pastries as well.
He knew that all children liked to eat this. Even if he and Lin Guang, the big brother, had not met, he could not let the child down.
Xiang Tian and the rest did not know which family Lin Guang had specifically married into, so when the ox-cart entered the Lee Village s, the husband and husband started to ask.
The people from Lee Village did not hide anything, and seeing that Lin Yuxing and the others were dressed quite well, they personally brought the person over to Lin Guang's place, and then shouted loudly, “Li Yun's family, a guest has arrived from your family!”
When Lin Yuxing and the others saw the big green shingle house, they knew that it was definitely a rich master. No, even if it wasn't rich, they wouldn't be poor, and only took two or three catties of brown rice to their house, showing their attitude towards Lin Guang.
Lee Si, the teacher of the Li Yun Family, anxiously ran out. When they saw the two youths, their mouths twitched, and then looked at the presents on their carriage.
He politely said to the heavens, “Hello, aunt. We are Lin Guang's family.”
Without waiting for Lee Si's reply, Lin Yuxing had already continued, “They're just relatives in Lin Village, we're looking for Soong Guang.” He didn't know if these people had already recognized his family, so the mention of his previous name should soon be known.
Lee Si was startled, then nodded: “So you are a relative of the Guang, please come in.” After he finished speaking, he was about to take the gift from the oxcart, but he still politely said, “It's good that you guys have come. What gift are you bringing?”
Lin Yuxing gave him the brown rice and a piece of meat, “This is for you, the rest of the pastries and snacks are for my Ah Gou.” His tone was very gentle, but it carried an irresistible force.
Lee Si's heart sank, but he did not say anything. He did not know what was inside, but it was heavy, and should be not bad. As for the gifts he would give Soong Guang, they would not be his after they left.
Lin Yuxing and his husband were welcomed in. Only then did they realise that outside of the big green brick house, there were two broken houses inside. They looked very old, one was very bright, and the other was especially desolate.
“Where's my Brother?” Lin Yuxing looked at the man squatting at the entrance and asked slowly. He had thought that there was only one teacher at home, but he didn't expect there to be another.
“Head, they are the younger brother s of the Guang.” Lee Si also knew that the husband was a dull person, so he quickly explained. At this time, a few children ran out wearing relatively new clothes and looked at the two of them with curiosity.
Li Zaixing nodded his head, “Guang is in the house, this brother will go, the man will stay here.”
After hearing what he said, Xiang Tian and his husband and Yue Yang did not care. After all, Soong Guang was already married. Of course, this was the rule of the countryside. However, many people did not care much about this.
Lin Yuxing brought the gift over, and at the same time, Lee Si said, “They are living in the house, go ahead by yourself.” It was obvious that he did not want to go in.
Lin Yuxing did not waste time speaking and directly stepped into the old house. Upon entering, he felt a thick musty smell coming out, as if it had not been cleaned up for a long time, which made his expression darken.
Immediately after, he saw a brother with a big stomach eating porridge, and laddie was crying loudly from starvation. After that, his brother fed the porridge that was like water into laddie's mouth.
When Soong Guang saw that someone had come in, he was startled, his face becoming anxious, and standing up, “You … “You …” He had also heard the commotion in the courtyard earlier, but he did not know who it was.
“Big Brother, I am Lin Yuxing. In other words, I am your Third Brother. You …” Lin Yuxing looked at his big brother who was wearing a thin layer of clothes, then looked at laddie, his face was red, it was obvious that he was cold.
This was the first time he had seen such a scene, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Previously, when he saw a few children outside, their clothes were also warm, but the laddie in front of him was only wrapped with two pieces of cloth. This caused his heart to be immediately filled with anger, but his reason was still present, so he temporarily restrained himself.
Hearing Lin Yuxing's words, Soong Guang's eyes flashed with surprise, “It's the Third Brother, sit.” His body was somewhat bulky, and his face was very thin.
“Yes.” Lin Yuxing nodded faintly. He saw from this Ah Gou's body that his slavishness was completely different from that of the Second Brother.
When this person saw him, he was clearly flustered as if he had done something to let him down. Moreover, looking at his clothes, he sighed heavily in his heart.
“Third Brother hasn't had breakfast yet right? Let the brother-in-law outside come in as well.” Soong Guang saw the figure of the man outside and said, this was not his house, but the main hall, so letting people in was not a problem.
Lin Yuxing nodded, then turned and entered the room. Previously, he thought that it was a small house, but he did not expect it to be the main hall, except for a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else.
He frowned as he walked towards the sky. He didn't think that his big brother's life would be so difficult.
“Big brother, go ahead and eat. We've already eaten.” Lin Yuxing said with a smile, his family's man could not bear for him to be hungry, so he had already prepared a steamed bun early in the morning, causing him to be completely full.
“This is for laddie, and for Brother.”
Soong Guang did not decline, even if it was New Year's Day, they seldom ate meat, and now that they saw meat, they unconsciously swallowed their saliva. He was about to give birth, but their family was in a bit of a predicament.
“Big brother, we came here this time to see how your life is, this …” Lin Yuxing did not finish his words, but the meaning behind them was clear, why did their family live such a good life.
“Could it be that your family is separated?” He knew that there were no branch family members living together, but looking at his Ah Gou, it was clear that he was the one who started the fire. Thinking about Lee Si's actions, he couldn't help but gasp for breath.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but now seeing his brother's life like this made his heart feel especially uncomfortable. This was probably the reason why they were connected by blood.
Soong Guang shook his head, “No.” He really didn't know how to start. His heart was moved by the fact that he was so worried about his family the first time he saw him. However, there were some things that were useless to him.
Just as Lin Yuxing was about to say something, Xiang Tian, who was at the side, said, “Yu, let Big Brother finish eating breakfast.” Normally, the villagers would not even want porridge for breakfast. They would only want brown rice or food. Only then would they not be hungry.
Lin Yuxing did not say anything else. The Main Hall was quiet, and other than laddie's occasional wails, there was nothing else.
Outside, when Lee Si saw the brown rice and two pieces of meat, his face immediately darkened: “Isn't Soong Guang's family very rich? My kid also went to take a look, what's going on with them? Just a little bit of meat for us? “And this brown rice, this is …” He could not finish his words, but it was clear that he was enraged.
They thought that since Soong Guang was acquainted with his family, they could help him out with their parents' home, but they never expected that he was actually a stingy family member.
“Cut the crap, I'm still here.” No matter what, since they came, they should give them a way to treat their guests.
“I'm not afraid that they will hear it! What kind of people are these!? ” Lee Si did not treat them as guests at all, his voice was sharp, but he still listened to their words.
Seeing that the husband did not say anything, Li Zaixing sullenly did not say anything.
Soong Guang quickly finished his breakfast, he wanted to pour the two of them some water, but discovered that there was no hot water at all in the house, so he could only awkwardly sit by the side. laddie was about to fall asleep after eating, but he could clearly feel how cold laddie was, even though he was asleep, his body was trembling.
“Brother, let laddie sleep in the house. It's cold here.” Lin Yuxing could not help but say, he did not know what his A'ge was thinking, he should give the child more clothes.
“Sigh.” Soong Guang anxiously carried the child in, and shook his head when he saw it.
When Soong Guang came out again, Lin Yuxing had already tidied up his expression, “Brother, where's brother?” It was still too early, so he shouldn't have left that soon.
Hearing Lin Yuxing mention husband, his face stiffened, and didn't know how to reply, “He … He didn't come back tonight. ” Since they were his family, he wouldn't hide it from them.
When he said that, Lin Yuxing burst out completely, “He's not back? You are just a pot-bellied teacher and a laddie, but he didn't come back at night as a man? ” At this time, his tone was somewhat sharp, “Brother, what's going on? Previously, Second Brother said that you want to find a job for your man? “Is this what you call a job?
He also knew that he couldn't get too excited, after all this was his first time meeting this kind of person, but seeing this kind of situation, hearing these words, he really couldn't hold it in. At this moment, he was glad that the dad didn't come, or else they would definitely feel worse, even more miserable than when he saw the Yang, at least the Yang had a grandma looking after them.
