Chapter 474 - 469: Troublesome Matters When Returning Home 04
——————
Li Xiaoxia spoke evasively, expressing her thoughts unclearly and indirectly, rather than stating her opinions outright.
Fan Jiefang returned without accomplishing anything. Seeing it was still early, he originally planned to visit his father-in-law’s house, thinking it would be nice to spend time with his son. But the thought of his wife’s indifferent and estranged gaze made him curse silently and hesitate guiltily.
He had thought about going back to the county town first; he really wouldn’t have had the nerve to face his wife and son back at his father-in-law’s place unless this matter was resolved!
Although his father-in-law’s whole family was understanding and even empathetic towards his difficulties, he had indeed hurt Xie Jinghong’s feelings. It’d be strange if the Xie Family could still look at him favorably!
But what Fan Jiefang hadn’t anticipated was that his hesitation would lead to a significant incident two days later!
Had he known it would turn out like this, he would have rather faced a beating from his wife first and talked things over with her.
Feeling dejected, he thought that since he was back anyway, he might as well buy some fruit and visit his eldest sister who was married locally.
At the Xie Family at this moment, seeing Lin Caixia come over alone with Xiao Ba, Zhou Xiuhua was quite surprised. The old lady had thought that after sorting out the household chores tomorrow, she and her husband would go to the town to see the Fourth Family’s home.
Truth be told, since Xiao Ba’s birth, neither she nor her husband had visited, so they harbored no hard feelings against the Fourth Family for not coming back.
