CHAPTER 824: CHAPTER 826: ARE YOU ALREADY PREGNANT?

"Second Sister, is this your house? It’s so beautiful." Gu Mingcheng toured the Xu Family home, from the first floor to the second floor. Although compared to the Gu Family, it seemed a bit small here, the reasonable layout made it feel cozy and delightful.

Gu Mingcheng always felt that his home was a bit cold and empty. Now, in the Xu Family home, he finally found the reason— the Gu Family lacked the warmth of a home.

"That’s because you haven’t seen the place we used to live in." Xu Nianhua lowered her eyes, feeling a bit reluctant. However, thinking of what Gu Mingzhu had done, she felt she wasn’t wrong. She only wanted to lay the truth bare in front of him.

"What was the place you used to live in like?" Gu Mingcheng asked curiously.

Xu Nianhua led him outside, saying, "Before, this was the old house of the Xu Family. It was worn and leaking from all sides. Two years ago, in the summer, we moved here, where the grass in the yard was taller than a person. When it rained heavily, it leaked everywhere, and we used every basin we could find to catch the water, but it still wasn’t enough."

Xu Nianhua’s gaze fell into recollection. Since they split from the family, they lived in the old house for nearly two years.

"Ah..."

Gu Mingcheng looked at the newly built house in front of him and tried to imagine the house Xu Nianhua described. He frowned and asked, "Could people live in such a house?"

"Of course, they could." Xu Nianhua replied without thinking, "The house we live in now was only built this year."

Gu Mingcheng fell silent and asked, "Where did you use to live then?"

Xu Nianhua didn’t speak but took Gu Mingcheng to Xu Zhong’s home. Looking from afar, the wooden house of Xu Zhong, covered with lime powder, had also grown old with time. She pointed to where the family of five once lived.

Gu Mingcheng was silent. Even though he didn’t go inside, from the outside, seeing chickens pecking in the fenced yard, it looked chaotic. He couldn’t imagine what living inside would be like.

"Isn’t this your boyfriend?"

Liu Sanmei had just finished her work in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw Xu Nianhua and Gu Mingcheng standing together and remarked sarcastically, "And you said you went to college. It’s only been a year, and you’ve already brought a boyfriend home. I bet your belly will be big before you graduate!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Mingcheng’s face reddened with anger. Although he was young, he was much taller than Xu Nianhua. He stepped forward to shield Xu Nianhua and said, "She is my second sister, my biological sibling. How could you think so dirty!"

"Grandma, I definitely won’t be getting married before I graduate, but I heard Jiaojiao seems to have a boyfriend?" Xu Nianhua said with a light smile, not angry at all. The more sarcastic Liu Sanmei got, the angrier it meant she was!

"What nonsense, Jiaojiao is even younger than you." Liu Sanmei scolded, but her face was obviously unnatural. Xu Jiaojiao was only two years younger than Xu Nianhua and was nineteen now. This time she couldn’t get into university after the college entrance exam. Adding to Xu Zhihao’s matter, Xu Jiaojiao was always out and about, never home, and even found herself a job at a cinema, earning twenty bucks a month. But Xu Jiaojiao had found herself a boyfriend!

This matter infuriated both Liu Sanmei and Zhao Juxiang!

Xu Jiaojiao claimed she had a boyfriend, but the guy was just a loafer hanging around on the street, doing nothing proper. Can such a person be called a boyfriend?
