Chapter 1112 Stepfather 23
Yuanchun was devastated by the death of her stepfather, so she took five days off to rest at home. Cao Hui sympathized with her and couldn't help but come in to visit her when he passed by her house after work.
Yu Qing, who lives next door, has been paying attention to Cao Hui.
Seeing Cao Hui entering the Xu family courtyard, she immediately ran over from next door, grabbed Cao Hui who was about to enter the house, and asked with a jealous look, "Brother Huizi, what are you doing in the Xu family? Do you care about Xu Yuanchun?"
"She is the only one left in the Xu family. She's quite pitiful. Let me take a look." Cao Hui looked at her blankly, then lifted the door curtain and went in.
This door curtain was made by Yuanchun using her stepfather's old clothes. It can block Yu Qing from peeping into her room.
Yu Qing followed in and saw Yuanchun lying on the kang with her last breath. She smiled with a gloating look on her face and said, "Xu Yuanchun, you are so pitiful. Now even your stepfather is dead. You have no relatives. You are the only one left in your family. You are so pitiful."
"Yu Qing, what are you talking about?" Cao Hui glared at her angrily, "Yuanchun lost her father, it's pitiful enough, and you still mock her, you...how can you be so hateful."
"Brother Huizi, you are so mean to me because of Xu Yuanchun. How am I not as strong as Xu Yuanchun? Why do you like her and not me? I tell you, if you don't like me anymore, I won't like you anymore. I'm going to like someone else. Don't regret it later."
Cao Hui's ears turned red after hearing such a series of "likes". He got angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of Yuanchun? You can like whoever you want. Anyway, I won't like you."
"Wow...Brother Huizi, how can you be so heartless? I like you so much, but you are not moved at all. Woohoo, how am I inferior to Xu Yuanchun? Why do you only like her and not me? Woohoo..."
It was the first time Cao Hui saw a girl crying so heartbrokenly. He was at a loss for words. He explained in a panic, "I don't like Yuanchun. I just treat her as my sister. I also treat you as my sister. Yu Qing, it's not that you are not good, it's that you are too good. I, Cao Hui, am not worthy of you."
"Then I will allow you to be worthy of me." Yu Qing felt very aggrieved, "Brother Huizi, can you ask a matchmaker to go to my house to propose marriage?"
"No, I...I don't want to marry you. I treat you as my sister, not my wife." Cao Hui insisted.
Yu Qing burst into tears again. While crying, she asked, "Then will you marry Xu Yuanchun?"
"No, I treat her as my sister too."
Yu Qing stopped crying immediately.
She wiped away her tears and snorted at Yuanchun, "Xu Yuanchun, did you hear that? Brother Huizi doesn't like you and only treats you as a sister. There is no possibility for you and him."
Yuanchun timidly retorted, "I also regard Brother Huizi as my brother, and I have never thought of becoming his wife. Yu Qing, I told you last time, but you forgot."
Yu Qing: “…”
It’s not that she forgot, it’s that she didn’t believe what Xu Yuanchun said at all.
But today, in front of the three of them, Cao Hui made it clear that he would not marry Xu Yuanchun, and she finally felt relieved from the anxiety that had been in her heart.
When Cao Hui saw that Yuanchun was fine, just a little weak, he expressed his concern for her and left.
It would be difficult for him to stay here for long. After all, Yuanchun was the only unmarried girl left in the Xu family. If he stayed here for too long, people would gossip about him.
Seeing Cao Hui leaving, Yu Qing also chased after him, "Brother Huizi, wait for me, Brother Huizi, will you promise to marry me? I swear, I will be a good wife, I will work hard to learn how to cook, wash clothes, and sweep the floor, and I will also be considerate and caring to you and treat you well."
