Chapter 224

Fragrance Thief (1)

“Is it Fragrance?” Jiang Xiaoman asked with eyes clouded with tears.

“It’s a pig, a black and white pig!” The security guard didn’t know who Fragrance was.

“Fragrance is a black and white pig!”

So it turned out that Fragrance had been stolen. Jiang Xiaoman was very sad.

She felt that it was her responsibility. If she didn’t hate on Fragrance earlier, it wouldn’t have gotten stolen.

That said, who would steal a pig who did nothing but eat?

Jiang Xiumei looked gloomy as she thought of something. She planned to go deal with the pig thief herself, but Xiaoman really missed her pig and didn’t want to leave, so she had to allow her to come.

When they came to the place where the pig thief was held, they saw Fragrance there when they reached the door.

Another security guard tried to hold it down desperately, but it was shy towards strangers, not to mention it almost got kidnapped. Right now, it reacted really strongly and kept howling, trying to escape.

The person and the pig competed with each other, making the scene chaotic.

When Xiaoman arrived, tears flowed from Fragrance’s eyes. It was as if it saw its mother, and it ran towards her.

Fragrance rubbed Xiaoman’s legs with its nose, acting spoiled.

Jiang Xiaoman was very distressed and held it in her arms tenderly, crying, “My dearest, I almost never saw you again. Don’t run around in the future, alright? The world has really gone bad now; the bad guys won’t even spare a pig!”

Fragrance oinked a few times, rubbing against its little master, acting spoiled and aggrieved.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

It had really suffered, wuu wuu wuu.

It was just a pig, why couldn’t it live its life happily. It had to endure so much torture; why was its life so bitter!?

He would never dare to have any bad thoughts anymore.

He was already this old, and was finally able to come out of prison alive. Hong Xingguo would never think of going in again.

While he was scolded by Jiang Xiaoman right now, the little girl pointing at his nose, he didn’t dare to say anything and could only accept it.

The suffering he received in prison was akin to being in purgatory. In comparison, this was nothing at all. Hong Xingguo clenched his hands, shrank his neck and chuckled, “Xiaoman, don’t say that. Please persuade your grandma. Granduncle didn’t mean to, I really do not have any bad intentions. I, I, it’s not easy getting out of prison. I haven’t eaten a full meal, so I came to see your grandma, but she turned away from me and drove me out... I didn’t have any other options, I just thought that there were so many pigs here, it’s alright to take one, right? I won’t dare anymore, I won’t dare.”

Hong Xingguo just came out; he was released a bit early. One reason was because he was getting older and they were afraid that he would die inside, and the other was because he had been behaving well, so his sentence was slightly reduced.

But when he came out, Hong Xingguo was just waiting to die.

Six years ago, he was just a trash in society who did nothing but idle. Now that six years had passed, he turned from trash into trash that was about to be buried, even more useless.

His son was a disappointment and unfilial.

Knowing that he had come out, his son only told him to go home by himself, not caring about him at all. In the past few years, his son basically never even asked about him, and left him to fend for himself inside.

Hong Xingguo had no choice but to come to Jiang Xiumei, although he had known for a while that Jiang Xiumei would not let him comfortably stay here.

But he didn’t expect her to be so cruel, that cutting off their relationship really meant cutting off everything. She wouldn’t even give him a mouthful of hot rice!

Today, Hong Xingguo had fallen into a situation where he had no relatives, no one to rely on.

“Ptooey! I spit on you! You deserve it! If you knew from the beginning that this is how it would turn out, why even bother trying?” Jiang Xiumei didn’t give him any face at all. She looked at him pretending to be pitiful and cursed, “I’ve already told you what needed to be said. Our families can only be enemies, we’re not relatives anymore. If you don’t want me to call someone, then quickly get out of here! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”

Jiang Xiaoman also imitated Jiang Xiumei, spitting with her hands on her waist, looking very proud and angry at the same time.
