Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Capítulo 1874: Chapter 1874 Self-Humiliation

What’s crucial is that he doesn’t want to go back to the vegetable company either, once his second uncle’s family gets involved, the New Year won’t be enjoyable.

“Fine. Okay then! I’ll go along with everyone’s plan, it’s up to you guys now.” An Shuchao agreed.

Only then did An Hao show a satisfied smile.

It wasn’t long before the two children fell asleep early.

Outside, the sound of firecrackers was incessant, with the cold wind howling, snowflakes danced all around.

An Hao wrapped herself in a thick military coat, donned a scarf, and came downstairs.

“I want to go for a walk. An Ping, you go upstairs and watch the kids for me.”

“Okay.” An Ping readily agreed.

Qin Jian stood up from the sofa and took An Hao’s hand: “I’ll accompany you.”

The two walked along the path, the snow crunching underfoot.

Qin Jian spoke, a puff of air dispersing in the cold: “You all aren’t at ease with An Hui, are you? Actually, you’re just harsh words but a soft heart.”

“The weather is indeed cold. I’m only going out to see him.” An Hao said softly, and there’s some stuff I need to explain clearly to him.

Upon exiting the military district’s gates, An Hao immediately saw An Hui warming up by running circles around a lamppost.

At the same time, An Hui saw her, and came running over with hands stuffed in his sleeves joyfully.

“Sis, I’ve waited for you so long, you finally came out. I knew you wouldn’t ignore me.”

“Speak up, what do you need from me?” An Hao halted and asked.

“Borrow some money.”

“What? Haven’t you earned a penny over the past two or three months?” An Hao asked.

“You know our situation. It’s really hard to make money!” An Hui extended his frozen hands to scratch his head.

“You’ve got the guts to freeze here, but can’t muster the resolve to endure hardship and earn money?” An Hao’s sharp gaze fixed on him.

“It’s tough to find a job, even brick-laying hardly brings in money. I can’t support the whole family on my own.” An Hui said, troubled.

“Is that so? Within a month, you took them out to eat three times, bought clothes twice, thirty days a month, worked fifteen days, took fifteen days off. With such squandering, it’s probably insufficient to support your family, right?” An Hao said.

An Hui’s expression suddenly changed: “Why do you know so well?”

An Hao didn’t answer him.

“You never actually trust me, do you?” An Hui looked at An Hao angrily, “You need to live, I need to live too. Is there anything wrong with buying things to improve family life?”

“There’s nothing wrong! The prerequisite is that you have the ability to earn money! ” An Hao looked at him coldly, “If you have ambition, you should earn money yourself to support your family. Why demean yourself to beg others, only to end up self-humiliated?”

“I…”

“You don’t need to say anything more. From now on, I won’t give you a single penny!” An Hao pulled her coat tighter and turned to leave.

“Damn it!” An Hui stomped angrily, “If I ever borrow another penny from you, I’ll be your servant!”

With that, he angrily punched the lamppost twice and stormed off.

On the way back, Qin Jian asked An Hao: “Did you really track him?”

“How would I possibly?” She had to work, and upon returning, take care of the kids, where’s the time to follow him around?

She’s just curious about how the second uncle’s family is living.

If they sincerely repent and live seriously, she wouldn’t be so cold-hearted.

At the very least, when they come around, she’d offer some assistance.
