Chapter 821: Visiting the Xiu Family (1)
This was Jiang Bin’s second visit to the Xiu Family home. The last time, he had come with Ruan Jiaojiao. Hu Yun knew how to play her part. She thought highly of Ruan Jiaojiao, so she was also very polite to him.
Today, following the Captain and the village secretary, Hu Yun was somewhat puzzled. She didn’t understand why this unfamiliar man kept coming to her house.
Unsure of Jiang Bin’s identity, she didn’t dare to speak rashly. Instead, she just smiled and greeted the village secretary and the Captain: "Captain, Secretary, what brings you to my place today? Is there something going on?"
After speaking, without waiting for their reply, she caught sight of Xiu Xun following behind them. Her expression changed as if by magic, and the obsequious smile turned into a harsh scolding: "You damned kid, loitering around all day, not caring about home. Look at the time! Go chop pigweed for your mother. And by the way, we’ve been out of firewood in the kitchen since yesterday. What’s the use of raising you? It annoys me just to look at you. Go on, go wash your brother’s clothes first."
As soon as Hu Yun finished speaking, she reached out to pull Xiu Xun, trying to shove him into the kitchen to keep him out of sight, but before her hand could touch Xiu Xun’s head, it was blocked by someone.
Jiang Bin’s expression was ugly as he pulled Xiu Xun behind him.
Although he already knew that Xiu Xun’s life in this family was hard, there would always be a difference between imagining it and seeing it with his own eyes.
Seeing his own nephew being treated like this, Jiang Bin felt a mix of heartache and anger.
Blocked by Jiang Bin, Hu Yun was taken aback and then looked at him suspiciously, asking cautiously, "And who are you?"
Jiang Bin did not speak, only looking toward the Captain and the village secretary.
