Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 430 The Mischievous Kid 3

"Hmph, you wait and see, I'm going to find myself a new dad, just like Little Swallow."

Xiao Xiaoping ran away as soon as he finished speaking.

Thump, thump, thump, short legs on a low staircase, the shoe that fell off her foot, she doesn't know when she found it.

Old Xiao's old arms and legs are too weak to run.

I went to the window in the stairwell and looked out.

That brat went to the convenience store next door to stand and watch TV.

"Why does the name 'Little Swallow' sound so familiar?"

Xiao Xiaoping's silent grandmother spoke up.

Xiao Tianquan spoke.

"Maybe it's one of his female classmates named Yanzi! I'm going to go to his school tomorrow to ask. He's so young, why isn't he learning good things..."

At this time.

The TV, which was still on, was showing "The Princess Searches for Her Father," and the cries of "Little Swallow! Little Swallow!" could be heard.

Xiao Tianquan was momentarily embarrassed.

His father's.

He never expected it to be Little Swallow.

A rare sandstorm swept through the corridor from the banyan tree.

Xiao Tianquan's mouth hadn't closed completely in time when he caught a mouthful of sand, which seemed to have gotten stuck in his nose, ears, and hair as well.

Squinting, I saw that Old Man Xiao, who was standing by the window in the stairwell, was safe and sound.

Xiao Tianquan couldn't help but have doubts.

Am I having a bad day with the wind?

He remembered that the almanac did not say that it was not advisable to go out today.

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

The wind quickly cleared his head.

Xiao Tianquan was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Xiaoping's rambling.

He went into his cramped bathroom.

Without a word, he pushed Xiang Die, who was crying in front of the mirror, away.

His expression was so calm it was as if his son had just ridden on his head and defecated on him.

Xiang Die was also unlucky; her husband pushed her, and she lost her balance, almost stepping into the squat toilet at home.

This couple is a perfect match.

There wasn't a single person willing to give the other party a way out.

Xiang Die was willing to stand by the squat toilet and wait.

Xiao Tianquan remained silent and did not ask Xiang Die to hand him a towel.

Xiao Xiaoping's grandmother felt that her son and daughter-in-law were acting strangely. After tidying up the bags on the ground, she sat in her grandson's TV seat and watched "The Princess Looking for Her Father" in his place.

I also want to see what my grandson has learned from the people on TV.

How come other people's children at most wear a fluffy hair crown like Xiang Fei, but her grandson even thinks about changing his father?

Are all members of the Xiao family so unique in their thinking?

Her husband doesn't like to discipline his son.

Her son is mentally challenged and doesn't treat Xiaoping like a son; sometimes he acts more like an enemy.

Think about this.

Grandma Xiao Xiaoping nudged the old man with her elbow.

"Shh, old man, do you think our son is sick or not..."

*

Old Xiao is a retired man who loves playing cards.

He kept licking his hands and counting the money over and over again to make sure he hadn't lost too much money today.

"Huh? What did you say? What illness? He can't do anything—get married, have kids, go to work, eat, or even hit people?"

Grandma Xiao Xiaoping shrugged.

"It's all up to you."

She doesn't have a pension to pay for her son's medical treatment, and she has to ask her husband for permission to play cards, so her son must not be sick.

The rushing water drowned out their conversation.

Wait until this episode of TV in the living room finishes playing.

Xiao Tianquan felt as if he had been reborn.

My eyes, ears, nose, and face are finally mine again.

He finally remembered to drag his wife, who was utterly despondent, out with him.

The two stood on the balcony, and after only a few words, they started arguing. One accused the other of being a busybody who subsidized his younger brother, while the other retorted that his parents didn't give him money or help with the children...

Old Xiao felt like he'd been caught in the crossfire.

The old man wouldn't stand for this.

She got up, straightened her clothes, and gestured for her husband to follow her home.

It's impossible to get out of the predicament.

He's argumentative and loves to live his life; his monthly retirement pension isn't even enough for him to support himself.

These two shouldn't even think about conspiring to cheat me out of my subsidies.

Old Man Xiao deliberately slammed the door shut.

Xiao Tianquan's face on the balcony was now truly gloomy.

After watching her in-laws leave, Xiang Die turned and went back to the bathroom to continue tinkering with her chewed-up hair.

She and Xiao Tianquan were definitely faking it.

After so many years of marriage and having a son, they still have this much in common.

Little did they know that Old Man Xiao was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

"Xiao Tianquan, let me tell you, you really need to discipline our son. He has such a terrible temper..."

Xiao Tianquan was still angry.

Provoked by Xiang Die's tone, he directly retorted.

"What's it to mind? You bring things to the Xiang family every day, have I ever stopped you?"

"I can't control you, and I can't control him either."

When Xiang Die heard him mention the Xiang family, she immediately objected.

He turned around and started arguing with Xiao Tianquan.

"How can you talk like that? I'm using my own salary to buy things for my brother, and you have a problem with that?"

"That's your brother, not your son. Are you out of your mind?!"

"Your parents aren't much better; I've never seen such self-centered in-laws."

The only one in our family who can benefit from them is your son.

Oh wait, your son can only mooch a few meals off you; he doesn't even get a big red envelope for Chinese New Year.

*

"Isn't my son your son? Didn't you give birth to him? Huh?"

Xiao Tianquan jumped up and kicked the wooden coffee table, then clutched his foot and cried out in pain like a clown.

"Hahahahahaha."

Xiang Die wasn't afraid of him and just laughed.

"You're really unlucky. Maybe my unhappy life is all because of you..."

The person you share a bed with is more unfortunate than you.

Xiang Die's tone was tinged with schadenfreude.

No one said anything when we went on the blind date that the Xiao family elders didn't care about anything.

The matchmaker only said that they wouldn't live with the in-laws.

This was exactly what Xiang Die wanted.

I never imagined that there would actually be people who don't care about their sons.

Like her father, he worked hard year after year, all for the sake of having male heirs in the family.

No one could have predicted that the Xiao family would act this way.

Xiao Xiaoping: Ms. Xiang, don't you even care about me, a male heir?

I stood downstairs until it was time to go home for dinner.

Xiao Xiaoping and his friends all rushed home.

He was fairly well-behaved while eating.

Whether the food was good or not is another matter.

I downed two bowls in no time.

Lick the bowls and plates clean, and eat up everything the original owner didn't get to eat.

After finishing his meal, he didn't bother his dad or his mom. Instead, he obediently took out his little stool and started doing his homework.

Seeing that her son loves to study.

Xiao Tianquan was happier than if he had drunk honey.

They didn't care whether the brat was filial or not.

He took two cigarettes downstairs and went to find the parents of the children playing wildly downstairs.

The child's parents gave a calm response.

My child finished their homework on Friday...

Xiao Tianquan put the unlit cigarette back to his ear.

They awkwardly changed their positions.

Try to get further and further away from the other person.

Xiao Xiaoping scribbled on his homework, his eyes glancing at the "Princess Searching for Her Father" that Tongzi had played for him. He didn't care if he was right or wrong, as long as he filled it up.

His life's trajectory was set: he would never put in effort in public, but would occasionally achieve remarkable results in exams.

This can save a lot of time.

Be a naughty kid and run wild everywhere.
