Humiliation

Xu Hao first drove Sister Flower's Maserati home and parked it in front of the house, watched his grandparents for a while, and then went back to Sister Flower's side of the house and drove the tricycle parked outside Sister Flower's neighborhood home.

The tricycle was the brainchild of his parents and a family antique.

Twenty years ago, his parents and grandparents used the tricycle to carry the vegetables they grew to the market, using the meager money they earned to support the family.

At that time, he was still a small child, he liked to sit in his grandfather's tricycle, and his grandfather in the streets and alleys.

When he drove the tricycle home, he touched the rust on the top of the tricycle and lamented, "Brother, in our family for so many years, you've been wronged, and when I pick up my sister tomorrow, I'll be sure to buy a good paint to give you a brush."

A tricycle has been used for more than twenty years, and it has been used with affection.

The night was silent.

The next morning, when Xu Hao woke up, he found his grandparents driving the tricycle to cut the vegetables.

Last night, Xu Hao told them that Xiaoqing was going to be discharged from the hospital, and they were so happy that they couldn't sleep.

After brushing his teeth, Xu Hao walked to the edge of the field, stroked his sleeves and rolled up his pants, "Grandma and Grandpa, I'm here to help you."

The grandparents and grandchildren cut a truckload of greens and went to the market to sell them.

The greens they grew were purely natural and green, and they looked so good that they sold out in two hours, making a net profit of 150 dollars after deducting the cost.

"Xiao Hao, you go to the river and break a willow branch. Your grandfather and I will go to the temple to pray for holy water to remove the bad luck, so that Xiao Qing can get well soon." Grandma instructed Xu Hao.

When she talked about the temple, she even folded her hands with an expression of devotion.

"Then I'll go buy some easy-to-digest tofu brains and sandworm congee, Little Qing loves these." Grandpa held the hundred dollars in his hand, thinking about his granddaughter being discharged from the hospital, he was all smiles.

"Good." Xu Hao smiled and didn't say much.

The older generation will always believe in this set of superstitions.

It was also a kind of religion, and a kind of psychological comfort that the old people sought, so he didn't stop him, and obediently went to the river in the village to break willow branches.

After folding the willow branches, he took Grandpa and Grandma home to change a set of clothes, and then drove straight to the hospital.

"Xiao Hao, when did you buy a car? It's a beautiful car. How much did it cost?" How much did it cost?" Grandpa touched the leather seat with emotion in his eyes.

"It's not mine, Sister Flower lent it to me." Xu Hao said. Xu Hao said.

"Sister Flower?"

"That's the Sister Flower who helped us out yesterday and bought our food."

"Oh, the pretty woman with the hook in her eye?"

"Yes!" Seo-ho nodded.

Grandma touched the seat of the car, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, "Xiao Hao, she gave you a car to drive, is she interested in you?"

"You're not young anymore, it's time to think about starting a family."

"Although your girl is a little bit older than you, but that girl's ass looks like she is very good at giving birth to children, do you want to consider it?"

Hearing this, Xu Hao's head was filled with black lines.

It seems that after a man has reached a certain age, he cannot escape the fate of being urged to get married.

It's just that grandma is talking nonsense about matchmaking!

"When girls are older, they are more understanding and considerate. I also think that the girl doll is okay, at least she respects us." Grandpa nodded in agreement.

"Grandpa, Grandma, don't think about it here, Sister Flower is already married, and her child is already eighteen years old and in college." Xu Hao said.

"Ah?"

Grandpa and Grandma were stunned when they heard this.

"That girl looks like she's only about thirty years old, why is her child so old? I really can't tell." Grandma was puzzled.

Xu Hao didn't bother with the two old men and quickly drove straight to the hospital.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Xu San Cai and Lin Qing had already packed up all their belongings and were ready to help Xu Xiao Qing out of bed.

Xu Xiaoqing had already awakened, although her face was a bit pale, her body was thin, and she still looked very weak.

When she saw Xu Hao and the three of them enter, she immediately squeezed out a smile, "Brother, Grandpa, Grandma."

Xu Hao stepped forward, took over from his father, and helped his sister out of bed, saying pamperingly, "Girl, feeling better?"

Xu Xiaoqing weakly said, "Much better."

Xu Hao laughed: "That's good, let's go, my brother is taking you out of the hospital today, let's leave this kind of shitty place like the hospital."

"Come on, before you leave the hospital, Grandma will remove your bad luck."

Grandma came over with a willow branch and holy water, dipped the willow branch in the holy water, wrapped it around Xu Xiaoqing's body three times, and also lightly hit Xu Xiaoqing's body, before smilingly hugging Xu Xiaoqing.

The family of six left the house and took the car home.

There were only five seats in the Maserati, but Grandpa and Grandma and Xu Xiaoqing were thin, so they were able to sit together.

When they got home, Grandma and Grandpa brought Xu Xiaoqing hot tofu brains and congee with sandworms, so Xu Xiaoqing could try them.

Lin Qing went to the kitchen to cook while Xu Sancai giggled.

The family was happy.

Bang!

Just then, the door was kicked open and a particularly tigerish-looking young man walked in, looking around with disdain, "What kind of shitty house is this? How can people live in this?"

"Xu Sancai, you're getting more and more mixed up, the toilet in my house is cleaner than yours."

As he spoke, he held his nose in disgust, as if the air here was full of bacteria.

Whether it was his behavior, actions or words, he acted particularly superior, with an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Seeing this young man, Xu Sancai gaze sank, "Xu Xiaofeng, what are you doing here?"

Xu Xiaofeng, this is the village cadre Xu Jiatao's son, but also in the village to assume some duties, has always been arrogant and overbearing, rampant village, fish and meat people.

Moreover, this person's eyes are higher than the top, and he has always looked down on the family.

Now this person suddenly came, let him feel a very bad meaning.

Xu Xiaofeng's gaze was contemptuous as he said, "Xu Sancai, you are lucky, our boss Xu Jiatao's son graduates from his doctorate program tomorrow and is having a reception to celebrate, he is broad-minded and invites you to come along."

After saying that, he took out a few invitations and threw them under Xu San Cai's feet, saying, "Pick up the invitations, if you don't show up on time tomorrow, you're not giving face to our boss, and you'll suffer for it."

Xu San Cai looked at the invitation and gritted his teeth.

If it was a normal invitation, he would have definitely handed the invitation to him.

Instead, Xu Xiaofeng threw the invitation at his feet, which was clearly an attempt to humiliate him!

Moreover, he was also Xu Xiaofeng's senior, but Xu Xiaofeng called him by his first name, which was particularly disrespectful and belittling to him.

Before Xu San Cai opened his mouth, Xu Hao couldn't stand it anymore and stood out, saying in a cold voice: "No big or small, don't move the rules, my father is your senior, what kind of attitude is this?"

Xu Xiaofeng sneered: "Attitude? Oh, I have this kind of attitude towards poor people like you!"

"Xu Hao, don't think that you are great because you have been a soldier for a few years, I still don't put you in my eyes."

"Be reasonable, pick up the invitation immediately, otherwise, I'll let your family of three have no way to get a foothold in the village!"

Xu Hao heard this and his eyes turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"
