Chapter 495 - 490: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 25 [Explosive Update 19]
——————
Xu Xiaofen did not return to her maiden home for the entire day today, and she had no idea that her younger brother and his wife were waiting for her—waiting for so long they were about to grow ’long necks’ from looking out. They waited from breakfast till dinner.
Even if a couple is lazy to step out, hunger will inevitably strike. As night fell and it was certain she would not come, they reluctantly faced reality.
Because they hadn’t eaten for most of the day, everyone in the family was so famished, they felt dizzy and weak. The leftovers had been finished in the morning, so after shirking the task between them for a long time, they had no choice but to ’personally’ make some sweet potato porridge to eat, which finally gave them the strength to go to bed.
With such an unreliable Yue Family, and having a wife who always looks after her natal home, Xie Jingwei was doomed to have no peace at home.
Xie Jingchen had finally finished his busy work and was ready to go home when he was stunned—his wife and children were long gone from the military quarters or the county town.
His wife, children, and parents used to be around, so Xie Jingchen never felt it was too far. Whenever he had spare time, no matter how tired, he would always drive back to his home in the county town.
But it wasn’t until he found the special documents left by Mr. Liu, rebutted the charges against Zheng Changqing—oh, that’s Qiao Zheng—and connected with Pang Qiao, confirming their loyalty to the country, that he felt he had completed a small part of his mission.
Now, trying to return home, he found that he had nowhere to go.
There is a small western-style house in the county town that Fifth occasionally checks on, so he wasn’t worried that anything might go wrong.
It’s just that without his wife and children, his ’home’ felt far away.
