Sweet Beauty-Chapter 1299: Hou Shihong, Are You A Man Or Not?

"Stop talking!" Hou Shihong weakly pressed his chest and interrupted Yu Meilin's words.

Yu Meilin wanted to get angry, but she still had a conscience. She knew that the current situation wasn't good, so she couldn't be angry with Hou Shihong anymore. Otherwise, if Hou Shihong lost his temper and died, she'd become a widow!

"If you don't want to listen, then don't listen!" She snorted and continued eating the instant noodles.

Seeing that Yu Meilin finally shut her noisy mouth, Hou Shihong took his time. He said word by word. "Stop blaming Zexian. The most important thing right now is to find him and don't let him provoke Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun any further. When he gets back, let him find a job. Our lives are more important."

After Hou Shihong's reminder, Yu Meilin finally understood. She and Hou Shihong were no longer the same people. Before, she could count money while sitting at home. Now, apart from Hou Zexian, no one else knew how to earn money to support them.

Understanding this logic, Yu Meilin's previous arrogance and hatred for Hou Zexian were completely washed away. Instead, she looked expectantly at Hou Shihong. "Bring Zexian back here and let him find a job to support us, right?"

Hou Shihong nodded. "That's right."

"Okay, then I understand. I'll call him after I finish eating, and ask him to come back soon."

As if Yu Meilin suddenly saw hope, she stuffed the noodles into her mouth in big mouthfuls. It was as if she hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.

After she finished eating the noodles and wanted to call Hou Zexian, Hou Shihong didn't forget to remind her. "Your attitude needs to be better. Don't scold him anymore. Get him back, understand?"

"I know, I know. Rest assured!"

Yu Meilin had a bad temper in the past. She used to be angry at Hou Yingyi and Hou Zexian all the time. That was because she had the confidence.

She felt that the only reason Hou Yingyi and Hou Zexian could have such a good life was that she and Hou Shihong earned money.

But now it was different. She and Hou Shihong had to rely on Hou Zexian to survive.

She cleared her throat and dialed Hou Zexian's number. f𝔯𝒆𝑒we𝚋𝓃૦ν𝙚Ɩ. c૦m

A voice answered the phone. "The number you dialed has been turned off."

"What?" Yu Meilin looked at her phone in disbelief. She never thought that Hou Zexian would turn off his phone, until now!

Hou Shihong couldn't help but ask when he saw her shocked expression. "What happened?"

Yu Meilin stared at him in annoyance. "Zexian turned off the phone!"

Hou Shihong thought for a moment and then pointed his mouth at his phone. "Did he blacklist your number after you scolded him last time? Try mine."

"He blacklisted me?" Yu Meilin really didn't want to accept the fact that her own son had blacklisted her. She dialed again and still got the same answer.

Yu Meilin had no choice but to reluctantly take Hou Shihong's phone. She found Hou Zexian's number and dialed it.

After waiting for a while, the cold voice of the operator was heard. "The number you dialed has been turned off."

"Hahahaha..." Yu Meilin laughed happily while holding the phone, "Zexian didn't blacklist me. He really turned it off. Hahaha!"

Seeing her proud face, Hou Shihong was furious. "Zexian turned off his phone at the time of crisis, I wonder what you are proud of!"

Of course, Yu Meilin was proud, and her proudness was something that Hou Shihong could never understand. If Hou Zexian blacklisted her, she'd probably hate him for the rest of her life. However, Hou Zexian completely turned off the phone. This proved that he wasn't just targeting her. So no one could understand her joy.

Yu Meilin put down the phone. She was still excited when Hou Shihong poured a bucket of cold water over her head.

"Zexian can't be reached. You'd better think about how we're going to live our lives in the future!"

The corners of Yu Meilin's mouth suddenly stiffened. As if the sky had collapsed, she leaned back in her chair and covered her face as she cried sadly. "What are we going to do? Oh God, why is it so hard to live without money? Without money, I can't even eat instant noodles!"

Wasn't that the reason they gave birth to two sons, so they could rely on them for support? Now that their children cannot be trusted and reliable, how were they going to live in their old age?

Hou Shihong took a deep breath. "Aren't you good at playing the piano? Even Liang Zixuan's piano skills were taught by you. Why don't you see if you can find a job teaching piano to overcome the hardships for now?"

"I'm already this old, and you still want me to work?" Yu Meilin glared at Hou Shihong. "Hou Shihong, are you a man or not?!"

Hou Shihong was also helpless. "Right now, even if I wanted to be a man, I can't be a man! Yu Meilin, I've raised you for decades. I just want you to go out and find a job to support yourself. Are you that unwilling?"

"I just don't want to!" The more Yu Meilin said, the more she felt wronged, "When I was young, I never suffered like this. Why should I suffer when I'm old? I don't care, Hou Shihong, I won't go out to find work. And even if I wanted to find it, I wouldn't be able to find it. You'd better let me take care of you until you die!"

Husband and wife were originally birds of the same feather, but they began to fly away from each other when a great calamity fell upon them.

Although Yu Meilin hadn't yet ignored Hou Shihong, but she had already begun to loathe him from the bottom of her heart.

Humans were a strange kind of animal. They could share the same glorious fate, but not many people could share the same suffering.

Hou Shihong had let Yu Meilin enjoy prosperity for most of her young life. When she grew old, she did not expect to end up like this.

Hou Shihong shook his head when he saw Yu Meilin's aggrieved expression. "Forget it. In any case, I'm just a broken body. Maybe I'll be free from the calamity when I close my eyes. If you want to go out to find work, then go out. If you don't want to, then so be it. "
