Chapter 21: Abnormal Li Xuexue Chapter 21: Abnormal Li Xuexue
Huang Hehua stood guard at the door, watching the corridor darken. Every household had already cooked dinner and was bustling with activity, except for their home, which was deserted. She turned around and glanced at Li Xuexue, and her heart suddenly tightened again.

"Your precious son hasn't come back yet?" Li Xuexue sneered.

Huang Hehua rubbed her hands and said, "How about I go out and look for it."

Li Xuexue said nothing and his expression became even uglier.

Huang Hehua winked at Li Qingqing, who was sitting next to Li Xuexue. "Dad, have some tea to moisten your throat."

Li Xuexue met his daughter's attentive gaze and had to reach out to take the enamel pot. He swallowed a few mouthfuls and his expression eased a little.

"Okay, you all go eat." Li Xuexue ordered.

Dinner was ready, but he had no appetite, so he sat on the sofa and smoked, waiting for the unfilial son to come back. But the boy made them wait for several hours, but there was no sign of him.

Li Xuexi went to the table first. Huang Hehua came over and served him some rice. He added half a bowl of rice for himself and then looked towards the door again.

"Taotao, you should eat more meat." Li Xuexue asked with concern, "Look how thin you are."

"Um."

Li Taotao picked up a piece of lean meat and put it in the bowl. She didn't know why, but her uncle was unusually nice to her, which made her feel very uncomfortable!
She felt that the look in Li Qingqing's eyes was full of jealousy and resentment. She didn't dare to think too deeply, and ate in silence, wondering more and more terribly whether her uncle had deliberately fanned the flames of something in his previous life.

"Taotao, why don't you drink the soup?" Li Xuexue asked with concern.

"Oh." Li Taotao raised her head and saw Huang Hehua and Li Qingqing looking strange. She said calmly, "Drink the soup after you finish eating."

Li Xuexue didn't care about the strange atmosphere at the table. He scooped a bowl of soup and gulped it down. Then he found a cigarette and sat at the table to puff on it.

"Ahem." Li Qingqing coughed violently, squinted her eyes, and muttered uncomfortably, "Dad, can you go to the sofa to smoke?"

"What? The younger one is going to start taking care of the older one?"

Li Xuexue opened his mouth, his mouth full of cigarette stench, his face covered with a layer of gloom. Li Qingqing was rebuked and immediately dared not say a word. Her cheeks turned red and white, and she cursed in her heart, I don’t know what’s wrong with my dad…

Huang Hehua saw that the father and daughter were also arguing, so she secretly reached out and pulled Li Qingqing, asking her to stop arguing.

Li Taotao was sitting on the side, watching the whole scene, and she also felt it was strange. How could her uncle's temper change so much after being in the hospital? He used to love Li Qingqing and Li Nannan the most, but now he seemed to have some resentment towards Li Qingqing.

Li Taotao couldn't understand it, so she just sat on the side, watching in silence.

If she could endure one more night, she would move out. As long as they kept to themselves, she planned to start over.

“Qingqing.”

Li Xuexue took a puff of his cigarette and suddenly shouted.

Li Qingqing looked over. Her father had been chatting with Li Taotao and ignored her, which was already very annoying. Li Qingqing did not hide the jealous look on her face, "What?"
