In his previous life, Xie Sui had gone through countless experiences and encountered countless women, entangled in numerous emotional dramas. Yet, at his deathbed, he still felt that Lin Wanwan was the best. It wasn't just because she had left him early, but because of who she was, truly good.
Kind, resilient, intelligent, and sensible. She wasn't perfect, but she was the best woman Xie Sui had ever met.
Zhang Wenfeng nodded, "I understand, Brother Xie. Brother Xie, I made mistakes before, and I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you double in the future."
"It's good that you've changed. Go back. If you need Brother Xie's help, just ask!"
Lin Wanwan helped him inside. Doudou and Dingding crowded around, "What's wrong with Dad?"
"He drank too much. Go get your dad a glass of water."
Doudou said fearfully, "Will he hit people? Gousheng is most afraid of his dad drinking. When he drinks too much, he hits everyone. It's so scary."
Dingding added, "Yeah, yeah, let's throw Dad out. What if he hits someone?"
Xie Sui was just drunk, not unconscious, and he almost laughed out loud, "You're my real sons, aren't you? I bought you so much good food and toys for nothing. And you want to throw me out? You little brats are so heartless!"
Dingding looked a little embarrassed, "Dad, if you don't hit people, we won't throw you out."
Lin Wanwan was speechless. They were just kids, but their worries were valid. "Don't be scared. If he dares to lay a hand on anyone, Mom will deal with him. He can't beat Mom."
"That's right, Mom is the strongest. Dad, you can't beat Mom."
Xie Sui closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, mourning his fatherly dignity!
Lin Wanwan helped him to bed. The drunk Xie Sui was exceptionally energetic and caused quite a stir that night. The next day, he surprisingly overslept. When Lin Wanwan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Outside, Xie Sui's voice could be heard, "Steamed eggs, shiitake mushroom and pork buns, millet porridge, pickled cucumbers, scallion pancakes, and creamy buns. Want some?"
"Yes!"
Doudou and Dingding drooled at the smell. Breakfast was truly sumptuous today.
"You want some? I won't let you have any. I'll eat it all myself."
Xie Sui was seeking revenge. They wanted to throw him out last night. A father's heart, so cold, so cold.
Doudou and Dingding's eyes widened. Could a father do such a thing?
Dingding was a bit more quick-witted than Doudou. He understood that Dad was angry and went forward to give him a shoulder massage, "Dad, good Dad. I won't throw you out anymore. I'll massage your shoulders for you. Dad, you've worked hard."
Doudou followed suit, hitting his leg, "That's right, Dad is the best. Dad isn't a bad dad who hits people. Doudou loves Dad the most."
Xie Sui felt much better. "These are my good sons. Eat up. How could Dad bear to hit you? Even if I'm drunk, I'd rather hit myself than my sons. You are my heart and soul!"
The two wolfed down the tender and smooth steamed eggs, finishing them in a few bites. They were so delicious.
The main reason was that Xie Sui had added milk powder to the steamed eggs. Fresh milk spoiled easily, so he bought milk powder for the children to drink. Only by drinking milk from a young age could they grow tall.
Therefore, the steamed eggs he made were exceptionally fragrant and sweet.
"Why isn't Mom up yet?"
Xie Sui smiled contentedly, "Mom was tired last night. Let her sleep in. Don't disturb her!"
Lin Wanwan, in the room, blushed. What was this guy talking about to the kids?
She walked out of the room and gave Xie Sui a fierce glare before going to the kitchen to fetch water to wash up.
Xie Sui hovered behind her, "Wanwan, aren't you going to sleep more?"
"Shut up. Don't talk nonsense to the kids, or I'll rip your mouth off." Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Xie Sui looked innocent, "What did I say? You brought me tea and water when I was drunk, so wasn't it hard work? Comrade Lin Wanwan, what are you thinking?"
Lin Wanwan's face burned with embarrassment and anger. She pinched Xie Sui, "Are you looking for a fight? You're asking for it!"
"Ouch, let go! You're pinching my flesh, it hurts so much."
Xie Sui quickly dodged. The children applauded, "Go Mom!"
"Dad, run faster!"
Laughter echoed through the yard. This was the life Xie Sui had dreamed of countless times in his previous life.
After breakfast, they waited for half an hour, but Zhang Wenfeng hadn't arrived. Xie Sui couldn't sit still. "This guy isn't drunk, so why isn't he at work and didn't say anything? I'll go check on him!"
Xie Sui went to Zhang Wenfeng's house. From a distance, he saw a crowd gathered at his doorstep. He was in trouble!
Xie Sui hurried over and asked a villager watching the commotion, "What's going on?"
"Xie Sui, Zhang Wenfeng's father-in-law's family is here. He actually wants a divorce. The Yang family brought a whole group of people to demand an explanation!"
"Demand what explanation?"
Xie Sui's heart sank. Knowing Yang Yumei's personality, her family probably wasn't reasonable either. He had to help his good brother, otherwise Wenfeng would definitely suffer.
The Zhang family were honest folk. Unlike the Xie family with their many clan members, they were among the few outsiders in the village, though they had lived there for decades.
"Make way, let me in."
Xie Sui squeezed through. In the Zhang family's yard stood four or five young men in their early twenties, with fierce eyes and a confrontational demeanor, looking as if they were itching for a fight.
"Wenfeng, Uncle Zhang, are you alright?"
Xie Sui entered the house but was blocked by them, "We're discussing matters here. Outsiders are not allowed."
"Oh, 'outsiders,' are you? Watched too many novels? Who's an outsider? Look clearly, this is our village's territory, not a place for you to run wild. Get lost!"
The young men were hot-headed. Hearing this, they rolled up their sleeves, "You're looking for a fight, so what if it's your village? We'll still beat you until you're spitting teeth!"
Xie Sui sneered and raised his arm, calling out, "Who from the Xie family is here? How dare you run wild in our village? Do you think our village has no people?"
"Xie Chengping is here!"
"Xie Qiang is here too!"
"Me, Xie Dagui!"
More than ten young men walked in and stood behind Xie Sui.
Xie Sui poked them in the heart, "Do you think I'm scared? Now, tell me, who are you going to beat until they're spitting teeth!"
The opposing side clearly showed apprehension but refused to back down. "This is a private family matter, none of your business!"
"Zhang Wenfeng is my brother, and his family's business is my family's business. Get lost, and don't make me say it a third time!"
"Who are you trying to scare? We're not letting you in. You dare to try anything?"
Xie Sui punched him in the face. "Brothers, beat them up!"
The Xie family members swarmed forward, surrounding them and raining down blows. This alerted the people inside. "Stop! How can you hit people?"
The Yang family emerged, including Yang Yumei and a robust middle-aged woman who was clearly her mother. The mother and daughter looked almost identical.
However, Yang Yumei's mother had fiercer, more shrewish eyes. "Who gave you the guts to hit my Yang family members?"
Xie Sui retorted, "Who gave you the guts to come to our village and bully people? Today, I want to see how arrogant the Yang family can be!"
