Chapter 545: Accidentally Saw Something
It was nothing, but when a four-year-old said as such, it did seem abnormal.
Gu Hongwei furrowed his brows, just about to explain, when Huo Wa’s mom spat on the ground in disdain, scornfully remarking, "Such bad luck, his father’s death anniversary just passed and he’s already sleeping with a woman. You have no shame, your aunt was right, you’ve put your studies to waste."
After saying this, she picked up her child and walked away.
Guo Jinnian was livid and wanted to give chase to argue with Huo Wa’s mom, but Gu Hongwei stopped her.
"Enough. Come and help me start the fire so we can cook. After we eat, we need to meet someone to buy tickets to Kyoto."
Guo Jinnian frowned, "She was so rude. Why do you let it pass? She’s just taking advantage of the fact that there’s no one left in your family."
Such incidents were too common in the countryside. Although the saying goes; better a distant relative than a bad neighbor, but most of the time, it was the neighbors who bullied them. It seems that Hongwei’s father has passed away, he’s not in contact with his aunt, and since there’s no one left at home to provide support, that woman is purposely picking on them.
However, Hongwei didn’t want to bother about it, "Anyway, we won’t be returning here. Let them misunderstand however they want to!"
Seeing Hongwei’s indifferent posture, Guo Jinnian suddenly felt guilty and awkwardly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for things to turn out this way."
After all, she wasn’t a native of Li City. She could leave without worrying about what people were saying behind her back. But this was Hongwei’s hometown, the place where he grew up.
