PDLP Chapter 196 Xu Guining
Chapter 196 Xu Guining
"Grandpa!"
Sihai stood excitedly at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze gently ruffling his still-untied hair and his clothes fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he saw the familiar figure of his great-uncle appear on the shore in the distance.
The small body straightened up instantly, and a brilliant smile bloomed on its face, like a flower blooming in spring.
He was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Then, he waved his arms and shouted with all his strength, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"
The clear and tender voice echoed on the sea like a silver bell, breaking the tranquility around.
Every time he shouted, his little face turned red, the blue veins on his neck bulged slightly, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
Er'er and Sanchuan were also infected by him and started shouting at the top of their lungs.
When the uncle heard that the men Xu Yiyi had hired to work had returned, he hurried to the river to see them.
Several children were shouting as the boat just stopped.
Three children rushed out and surrounded him, shouting.
"Oh, that's enough, Grandpa won't run away even if he's right here. Please stop yelling, it's giving me a headache."
Although the uncle said this stubbornly, he actually didn't care much about the children.
When a typhoon comes, the island is more affected than the town.
Honglian kept persuading him at home that the town was safe.
He just couldn't feel at ease.
I haven't eaten well these past few days and I've lost a little weight due to worrying about it.
……
"You ungrateful bastards, don't you see your dear grandpa is still here?"
Xu Ming snorted coldly, but his voice was not loud.
But it was carried by the wind to Xu Yiyi's ears.
Grandpa Xu's slightly hunched but still strong figure was shuttling between the deck and cabin of a large ship. Eldest uncle Xu Zhengci and second uncle Xu Ming were also busy nearby.
Seeing the scene of several children being so affectionate with their uncle, I was very angry.
"We met as strangers, but that's what you said."
Xu Yiyi shrugged and spoke provocatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of the cabin.
It was Xu Yiyi's uncle, Xu Guining, whom she hadn't seen since she came here.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on Xu Guining as if attracted by a magnet.
Although he was born into a fisherman family, he was dressed in a plain long gown. He had an upright figure, soft facial features, and a spring-like look between his eyebrows. The moment he saw Xu Yiyi, a faint smile played on his lips. He looked like the most harmless scholar under the warm spring sun, so gentle and elegant that people couldn't help but feel close to him.
Xu Yiyi knew very well that this was just a carefully disguised appearance.
Beneath that seemingly gentle appearance, there is a heart as black as ink.
Once upon a time, in order to achieve his goal, he quietly plotted against Xu Yinli behind his back. Although they were brothers, he always targeted Xu Yinli. He and Xu Yinli were twins, and they were among the few people on the island who went to school in the town.
Xu Guining looked smart but had a stupid brain. He didn't study hard in school and only thought about weird things.
He was seen visiting brothels and gambling houses with his classmates, and he blamed everything on Xu Yinli.
Xu Yinli questioned him and pretended to be innocent.
refuse to admit.
Now that he has moved to the county town, facing the plight of his people on the island, although he has sympathy on his face, there is always a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. The words he says seem to be comforting, but in fact, every word is full of thorns, like a needle hidden in cotton, hurting people invisibly.
The most disgusting thing was that one time when he returned to the island, he saw an uncle carrying rice and deliberately bumped into him.
He knocked someone's newly bought rice into the river, and not only did he not apologize, he also laughed loudly.
When Xu Yiyi thought of this, a wave of disgust surged in his heart and he frowned slightly.
Several children were like this, looking at this uncle who looked like their father with disgust.
"Is this Yiyi? It's been a while since we last met. You've grown into a big girl."
A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Guining's eyes. He knew in his heart that his third brother's children all looked like his third sister-in-law.
I didn’t think so before, but today I see that it is true.
"Why are you calling her that, Old Four? You're such an ungrateful person."
Xu Ming rolled his eyes clearly, and his uncle's face immediately darkened when he heard it.
"Try saying ungrateful again?"
The uncle raised his crutch and hit Xu Ming directly on the body, which really hurt.
Xu Ming lowered his head to hide his face which was distorted by anger.
Before I could say anything, I was hit on the head again.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly who you can mess with."
Grandpa Xu looked over with his venomous eyes, and he didn't care what Xu Ming said to Xu Yiyi and the others.
But there cannot be any disrespect to my uncle.
Xu Yiyi finally understood that Grandpa Xu was a cold-hearted person.
He doesn't care about his sons and grandsons at all, but he respects his great-uncle and great-aunt.
Not only do you respect yourself, you also require your sons and grandsons to respect you.
Otherwise, it would be like now, either being beaten or scolded.
Xu Ming was already a grown man, but he didn't dare to say anything even when he was beaten by Grandpa Xu.
Apologize to your uncle obediently.
……
While they were talking, Xu Guining walked up to Xu Yiyi with a frivolous step and a disgusting frivolous look in his eyes.
"The child is already so big. My uncle hasn't been home for a long time. I almost didn't recognize him..."
Xu Guining said with a smile and reached out to touch Xu Yiyi's head.
Xu Yiyi suddenly turned around, holding Wu Yuan in his arms, and slid lightly to the side a few steps.
A trace of disgust and vigilance flashed in his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and he quickly distanced himself from Xu Guining as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.
The hand that was originally stretched out towards her head hung awkwardly in the air. Xu Guining's smile froze instantly, and a flush of anger and shame surged across her face.
But he quickly forced a smile.
"Why are you being so reserved? I'm your uncle."
Xu Guining said this with a meaningful laugh and walked a little closer.
"It's still your "father."
When Xu Yiyi heard this, her mind went blank and she looked at Xu Guining's disgusting smile.
Suddenly realized something.
"Zhan Jilan is with you?"
Xu Yiyi said coldly.
Xu Guining suddenly became proud. Not long ago, his third sister-in-law disliked him in every way.
Every time I see him, he doesn't look happy.
But now, it has fallen into his hands.
Xu Yiyi frowned slightly, feeling a strong sense of disgust in his heart, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Are you very proud? Talking about such dirty things only makes people sick."
Xu Yiyi looked at Xu Guining coldly, his eyes as calm as a bottomless spring, without a trace of grief or anger.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice icy cold.
Xu Guining did not see the reaction from Xu Yiyi that he had imagined.
Suddenly I don’t understand.
Wasn't my niece honest and weak before?
Are you really feeling the shock?
