Wu Liangliang, looking every bit like a monkey with his sharp, monkey-like features, seemed sordid to no end.
Even so, one’s own child is loved best by oneself; no matter how good someone else’s child is, they are still someone else’s, not one’s own.
When evening came, the Ren family had prepared an impressive spread for dinner.
Perhaps it was Mother Ren’s intentional desire to let Ren Li know the life they were leading, so the dishes were obviously much more lavish than before, with all kinds of meat and fish.
Upon seeing the dishes on the table, Ren Li merely curled her lips in disdain.
Such a greasy meal, was it meant to fatten, or to eat to death?
...
Tang Xin sat next to Ren Li, really just wanting a bowl of plain white rice.
He wasn’t particularly tempted by the dishes on the table, even though he had been hungry all day.
Somehow, all the food spread out before him seemed utterly unappetizing.
He looked up at the people sitting around the table; only Father Ren was smiling at him.
As for Mother Ren and his little aunt, they had hardly spoken to him at all from beginning to end, and Wu Liangliang looked as if he considered Tang Xin an enemy.
Facing these people, truth be told, he found it somewhat difficult to swallow his food.
Even if he forced it down, he feared it would all just lead to indigestion, so it would be better not to eat, or at least to eat less.
“What’s the matter, the food at home isn’t poisoned, is it?”
Mother Ren rolled her eyes as if Ren Li and her son were deliberately making her suffer.
“Cut down on the chatter, why so much talk during a meal?”
Father Ren dropped his chopsticks as a warning to Mother Ren.
It had been no easy feat for the child to finally come home, so best keep your mouth shut.
Mother Ren was about to retort, but Ren Ying lightly tugged on her sleeve.
That’s when she realized something and eventually swallowed back her words, though clearly with some difficulty and discomfort.
Ren Li slightly frowned.
She felt something was off, but couldn’t put her finger on what exactly was wrong.
Was Mother Ren out of line, was it Ren Ying, or were the people of the Ren family all to blame?
Or perhaps, the problem actually lay with her, Ren Li.
She got the sense that Ren Ying seemed scared of something, frightened she wouldn’t return, scared she would leave.
Thus, Ren Ying was always being cautious around her.
Ren Li patted her son’s head, “We’ll go home the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Tang Xincheng agreed, but seemed hesitant to say more.
“What is it, do you have something to tell Mom?”
Ren Li smiled and pulled at her son’s ear again.
This boy really had grown up and his thoughts had multiplied, multiplied a lot.
He was barely more than a baby and she wondered where he got all these clever thoughts from, probably just like his sister.
She had never met anyone like Tang Yuxin before, and in her whole life, there was only this one oddity.
But fortunately, her son was still rather simple-minded.
Otherwise, with another little demon around, how could she go on living?
Tang Xincheng frowned and took Ren Li’s hand off his head.
“Mom, I want to go home.”
Ren Li’s smile faded a bit.
She bent in front of her son and straightened his clothes, “It’s okay, we’ll just stay here for a few days and then go home after a few days.”
“Mom, I don’t like it here, can we go home?”
Tang Xincheng’s face was still sullen, “Grandma, aunt, and Wu Liangliang all don’t like me.
They look at me as if they want to eat me.”
“Children shouldn’t talk nonsense.”
Ren Li straightened her son’s clothes again, “Alright, go to sleep.
Remember to brush your teeth and wash your face.”
“I know,” Tang Xincheng had grown up independent from a young age, being the only child in the family, but he wasn’t a pampered young master.
When he was younger, he would have to help his brother-in-law wash clothes and fold quilts.
Every summer and winter vacation he would go to his brother-in-law’s place, his ability to take care of himself was quite high, and he didn’t need adults to worry about him.
He returned to the guest room that Ren father had prepared for him.
One look and it was clear it was a guest room.
He wasn’t sure whether the blankets had been washed or not, and he didn’t really feel like sleeping.
He walked over and lifted a corner of the blanket to sniff, clearly there was a musty smell.
What to do?
He really didn’t want to sleep here.
