880: Chapter 880
“Haozi, wait a mont,” An Yiqing swiftly caught Xia Hao as he turned to leave, “I haven’t seen your uncle and aunt in a long ti.
Let
go up with you to say hello.”
Xia Hao halted in his steps, “Say, say hello?
There’s no need…”
An Yiqing looked at Xia Hao puzzled.
His gaze flickered, not daring to et An Yiqing’s eyes.
Her heart sank, and An Yiqing’s expression grew serious.
“Haozi, what happened?
What’s wrong with your uncle and aunt?”
“There’s, there’s nothing wrong…” Xia Hao stamred and hesitated, unwilling to et An Yiqing’s piercing eyes.
An Yiqing had known Xia Hao for several years, and she could clearly see sothing was bothering him.
Gripping Xia Hao’s arm tightly, An Yiqing said sternly, “Haozi, what exactly happened?
Tell
quickly!
You have your graduation exam tomorrow, do you still want to repeat the year because of this ss?
We can discuss and solve whatever it is together, we’ll find a way!
If you still consider
a friend, then tell
everything!”
Xia Hao’s eyes flickered, and he lowered his head in silence.
An Yiqing and the others did not speak either, standing patiently waiting for Xia Hao to speak.
After a long mont, just as Xia Hao was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
“Hello, Mom?…
Yes, okay, I understand.”
After saying a few simple words, under everyone’s gaze, Xia Hao hung up the phone with a bitter smile.
“My mom called and asked
to take you up.
Xiao Qing, don’t overthink it.
What could possibly go wrong in my family?
It’s just the sa old trivial family issues.”
An Yiqing frowned deeply.
“Haozi, are you talking about those relatives of yours?
Weren’t they sent away a year ago?!”
“People’s greed is boundless like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
The business at our family’s restaurant improved a bit this year, and those people, relying on their disgusting familial ties, ca back to act like parasites again.
When you called
earlier, my elder uncle was venting his anger at my parents, but he’s already left.
Xiao Qing, don’t worry, I’ve gotten used to it,” Xia Hao said with a bitter smile.
An Yiqing bit her lip, feeling truly helpless about the situation in Xia Hao’s family.
Xia Hao was an only child.
His father was the second oldest at ho, with one older brother and a younger brother and sister.
Being the perennial second child, he was the least favored in the family.
From a young age, Father Xia had done the toughest jobs at ho.
He didn’t finish high school and was kicked out to support his brother and younger siblings’ education.
Later, he t Mother Xia, who was an orphan, and despite Old Lady Xia’s objections, they secretly obtained their marriage certificate and started their journey of building a life from scratch.
Father Xia was honest and hardworking, and had a unique perspective on Xuanjin’s catering.
Together with the capable and virtuous Mother Xia, the couple, though living a hard life, was gradually improving.
The year Xia Hao was born, Father Xia and Mother Xia opened their first small restaurant.
At that ti, Mother Xia was still in confinent, and because she lacked breast milk, Xia Hao had been on formula milk from the beginning.
During that period, the small restaurant was solely managed by Father Xia, who had to cover not only Mother Xia’s hospital expenses and Xia Hao’s formula and diapers but also had to provide enough living expenses and pocket money to keep Old Lady Xia and Third Brother and his siblings satisfied.
As Mother Xia’s confinent was about to end, Father Xia had no money left.
However, Old Lady Xia couldn’t stand it.
The old lady took Father Xia’s three siblings to the hospital where Mother Xia was and made a scene, pointing at Mother Xia and scolding her for being delicate and lazy, only knowing how to spend her husband’s money.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Mother Xia, in a fit of anger, took Xia Hao, who was still in swaddling clothes, and went ho.
