559 Get Lost
“Father, that thing is too precious. I’ve kept it away. When we go back together, I’ll get Liang Zu to bring it to you,” Liang Guo said with a smile.
Qiao Qiang smiled without saying anything. He had never given them a longevity lock before. Back then, he had heard that Liang Guo’s wife was pregnant with a girl, so he had gone to the city to buy a pair of silver bangles for the child. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a boy so his wife had kept the gift away. By right, Liang Zu should not know anything about this.
Zhang Chao stood at the door and looked across from him. Zhang Wei leaned over curiously and looked in the same direction.
Is that not grandfather’s house? What is there to see?
!!“Younger brother, what are you looking at? Tell me,” Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Zhang Chao pointed at Qiao Qiang’s backyard and said, “Eldest brother… pig…”
Zhang Wei immediately understood what Zhang Chao meant. The two of them would feed the pigs and clean up the pigsty twice a week.
Qiao Mei had promised them that as long as they cleaned up the pigsty well, they would get a dime a week. If the piglets grew up and sold for a lot of money, they would get a share of the money as well.
“Come, let’s go. I’ll bring you to feed the pigs. Go back to the house and change into another pair of shoes. Elder sister bought this pair for you to wear to school. Don’t get them dirty,” Zhang Wei said.
Zhang Chao skipped into the house to put on the rubber boots he wore for chores. He had bought these boots with his own money!
The two of them carried the unwanted rotten vegetables from their house to Qiao Qiang’s house. As soon as they entered, they saw four strangers who simply ignored them.
Xiao Yu hid to one side in disgust. When Liang Zu saw Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao, he also looked at them with disdain. In their eyes, what the boys were doing was the job of the family helper. Liang Hao had also told the two children that people who did this kind of work could be ordered around at will.
Qiao Qiang smiled and said, “The two of you can go and feed the pigs with them. Didn’t you say that you want to be with me? Then you have to know how to do these tasks.”
Under the forceful gazes of the Liang siblings, Xiao Yu and Liang Zu slowly walked towards the pigsty. As soon as they got close, the two children ran back because they could not stand the stench. Xiao Yu even felt so disgusted that she kept dry retching.
Liang Lan’s heart went out to her.
“How delicate. I wonder how you people raised these two children,” Qiao Qiang muttered.
One could not make an omelet without breaking some eggs!
Liang Lan said to Xiao Yu patiently, “Can you help grandfather take care of the piglets? The piglets are so cute. Go and take a look at them.”
Xiao Yu said arrogantly, “This is work that servants do. I’m not doing it!”
“That’s right, why must we do such work,” Liang Zu whispered.
Xiao Yu should be 12 years old now, and Liang Zu already 13 years old. They were both older than the four children from the Zhang family.
They were all children, but the difference between them was huge. Qiao Qiang also knew that these were children brought up by Liang Hao. They behaved no differently from how she used to behave in those days.
“All of you can go back! We’ve already cut ties with one another, so there’s no need for these two children to call me grandfather. I don’t have grandchildren with such bad upbringing! Get lost and go back to the capital!” Qiao Qiang roared.
His voice was so loud that Xiao Yu burst into tears from fright. No one had ever dared to say such harsh words to her from when she was young.
Even when she did something wrong, Liang Hao never scolded her. She would say that it was someone else’s fault and that her granddaughter could do no wrong.
“I don’t like grandfather anymore! You’re not my grandfather! I want to go home! Boohoohoo~” Xiao Yu wailed loudly.
Liang Lan carried Xiao Yu helplessly and returned to the van. In a dejected manner, Liang Guo and Liang Zu also prepared to leave.
“Wait,” Qiao Qiang shouted.
Hope reignited in Liang Guo’s heart. Could it be that his father had thought things through?
Or perhaps his father could not bear to part with his eldest grandson and wanted to have a good talk with him, or that his father had already forgiven him.
“Take your things before you get lost.” Qiao Qiang took the gift box they had brought and threw it outside the door.
Liang Guo looked at Qiao Qiang intently and silently picked up the things from the ground before leaving the courtyard. He then left Foshan Village with Liang Lan and Xiao Yu.
Qiao Qiang stared at Xia Zhe, who had been watching the show from a corner of the courtyard, and asked with a smile, “Do you know who they are?”
Xia Zhe did not hide anything and told Qiao Qiang about how he had met them in the capital. Qiao Qiang was so angry that he kept trembling. He did not expect them to even have designs on Qiao Mei behind his back.
