Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 51 - Inviting the Wolf into the House

“Dad, I have something to tell you.”

When An Shuchao saw it was An Hao, he stopped in his tracks, “What is it, my girl?”

An Hao recounted yesterday’s incident involving An Ping to An Shuchao, which enraged him so much that he was about to turn back and drag An Ping out of bed to beat him.

“Dad, don’t get agitated, listen to me!” An Hao quickly stopped him, “It’s not entirely An Ping’s fault!

How could he know about this?

It was Bai Yufeng who took him to gamble.

Dad, you see, our family provides for them well, that’s all fine, but An Ping cannot be led astray by them.

On the way back yesterday, An Ping told me he’s thinking of dropping out of school to go work in the city with Bai Yufeng, and if that happens won’t he end up learning bad habits?

Isn’t this inviting the wolf into our house?”

“Kick them out!

I really can’t stand it anymore!” An Shuchao stamped his feet in anger, “If your mother knew, how upset she would be!

When she passed away, she asked me to take good care of you all, and I…

I truly feel I have let her down!”

“That’s also what I think.” An Hao pondered before speaking, “Dad, leave this matter to me!

If you deal with it, it may stir up gossip and make Bai Xue unhappy.

It’s more appropriate for me to do it!”

“Would they listen to you?

If they were thin-skinned and sensible, they would have left on their own.

Do they really need to be driven out?” An Shuchao was apprehensive, “I should go!”

“Dad, can you really get over this hurdle in your heart with Bai Xue?” An Hao said, looking at him with indifferent words.

An Shuchao knew in her heart that she was still unhappy about the year he married Bai Xue.

Back then, he and Bai Xue’s husband worked together at a brick kiln.

When they were setting up the brick wall, it accidentally collapsed, and Bai Xue’s husband saw him about to be crushed underneath.

He pushed him hard.

As a result, he got away, and Bai Xue’s husband was crushed under the pile of bricks.

He was rushed to the hospital and passed away shortly after.

Later on, he arranged the funeral for Bai Xue’s husband and gave all his money to the Bai Family.

But, unexpectedly, Bai Xue came to his house with her daughter, saying she could not carry on without her husband and asked him to marry her.

He did not agree; after all, his heart had always yearned for An Hao’s mother.

He turned Bai Xue away from his door, sending most of his monthly earnings to her and keeping only a small portion for living expenses.

However, months later, Bai Xue came again, with Bai Yanjiao who was starved and skinny, claiming that they were bullied in the village and couldn’t survive without a man in the house.

She firmly settled into his house, and over time, idle gossip in the village began to spread.

An Hao and An Ping, the children, could not lift their heads up in shame, and whenever he brought the matter up, Bai Xue would silently weep.

Finally, pushed to the limit, An Hao bitterly scolded Bai Xue, “Can you really not live without a man?

My dad takes care of your food and drink and covers Bai Yanjiao’s school fees.

He solves all your problems!

What more do you want?

Do you have to marry him?”

Bai Xue hung a white rope from the ceiling beam, demanding that An Shuchao return her husband to her!
