When he came back after washing his clothes, he saw that his father was still sleeping. He sat on the small folding stool in the courtyard and waited for his father to wake up so that they could have breakfast together.
Jiang Yue had good physical strength, so it wasn’t a big problem for her to keep on like this. But Xue Yan was tired after a long time, so he stopped and sat down instead, massaging his legs with both hands.
Jiang Yue continued to peek for a while. Seeing that the sun was rising, and Xue Dagui still showed no signs of waking up, she couldn’t help but ask, “What time does he usually wake up?”
“I don’t know. Let’s see how long he’ll sleep. He wakes up naturally almost every day.” Xue Yan told the truth. Then, he patted the ground. “You should sit down too.”
Only then did Jiang Yue sit down.
The two of them just sat in the grass and watched. Fortunately, the grass was dense and they were not big. Even if someone passed by, they would not notice them if they did not pay much attention.
Thinking that if Xue Zhuzi really wasn’t Xue Dagui’s son, then Zhang Meili and her uncle-in-law would be considered to have committed adultery. In the ancient times of her original world, adultery was a very serious crime, and in many dynasties, adultery was punishable by death. Here, the crime should be just as severe, but as for how serious the crime was, she wasn’t sure.
“What is the crime of adultery?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Death penalty,” Xue Yan said.
Jiang Yue nodded, unsurprised. It was similar to the laws in her original world. “Is lynching allowed?” she asked.
“It could be granted. If caught red-handed, you can be killed on the spot.”
Jiang Yue nodded again. Just then, Xue Gouzi was no longer sitting in the courtyard. He got up and lazily walked to the room next to the central room.
“He should be up.” Jiang Yue said.
Xue Yan also saw it and nodded.
As expected, Xue Dagui came out after a short while, followed by Xue Gouzi. It wasn’t until Xue Dagui had his breakfast that he left the house with the bag of date cakes.
As he walked out, he said to Xue Gouzi, “This date cake is for coaxing your brother back, so I won’t share it with you. If I wasn’t annoyed that your aunt came to find me almost every day and asked me to bring your brother back, I wouldn’t even want to go today. Your brother is an animal. I don’t know how I gave birth to such an animal.”
Xue Gouzi’s heart was still soft. He felt that no matter what, he was still his brother. As usual, he lowered his head and whispered, “Father, give the date cake to him and say what you need to say. He should come back with you. Although he thinks he’s more loved and comfortable there, he should come back home.”
“Comfortable, my *ss!” Xue Dagui was even angrier. “Didn’t you hear what your aunt said? He’s like a boss in that house. Your uncle will provide him with all the good food and drinks. It’s much better than at home. How will he be willing to leave?”
Xue Gouzi didn’t dare to speak.
“If he wasn’t my biological son, I wouldn’t care about him! He can do whatever he wants!” Even though he said that Xue Dagui still carried his things and left.
Xue Gouzi looked at his dad leaving for a while, then stopped and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took the opportunity to come out of the bushes and follow behind Xue Dagui.
It was a good thing that Xue Dagui was taking the small path. He felt that it was the shortest path and there were few pedestrians. There were also many places to hide on both sides, so he didn’t notice Jiang Yue and Xue Yan following him.
Xue Zhuzi’s aunt’s family was in the Chen Village. Xue Zhuzi’s uncle’s surname was Chen, and he was the eighth child in the family. Everyone called him Chen Laoba.
