Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 424: Granny Huo Has an Accident

If the son-in-law and Granny Huo were to live at their place, it would be much more convenient for her to look after her daughter.

Xu Ying had no objections.

Mrs. Xu rushed off immediately to find Granny Huo, ready to discuss the matter.

But as soon as she entered the Huo Family’s compound, she saw it in complete disarray, with Granny Huo having fainted in the yard, motionless.

"Auntie, Auntie, Huo Chen, somebody, help! Aunt Huo has fainted, come quickly and help!" Mrs. Xu, her face full of concern, helped Granny Huo off the ground and began to shout for assistance.

"What’s wrong? What happened to Aunt Huo?" A villager from Xujia Village who happened to be passing by immediately picked up Granny Huo and ran towards the village clinic.

When Xu Ying arrived, Granny Huo had already regained consciousness. Her eyes were red from crying.

Seeing Xu Ying, she quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile, though it was clearly strained: "Yingying, you’re back.

Come, let Granny have a look at you."

"Granny, what happened? Did someone break into the house?" Xu Ying asked directly, not knowing what had happened.

Granny Huo’s face shifted color, and Mrs. Xu pulled at her daughter. If only it had been a common thief, that would have been better, but unfortunately, it was the more difficult situation of a family thief.

As soon as Huo Chen heard that Granny Huo was in trouble, he rushed down from the mountain, filled with worry that was impossible to hide, his face covered with sweat.

"Granny, what’s wrong?"

Upon seeing her grandson, Granny Huo couldn’t hold back her distress any longer. She hesitated upon glancing at Xu Ying, who was pregnant; she didn’t want her granddaughter-in-law to worry.

Xu Ying saw her hesitation and walked over to take Granny Huo’s hands: "Granny, since I’ve married Huo Chen, I am now your granddaughter too.

Anything you want to say, we’re family; just say it outright, there’s nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Granny Huo felt even more aggrieved and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

The saying goes that one shouldn’t air dirty laundry in public, but Yingying was right, they were family, not outsiders.

"It’s all because of that bastard Huo Hanjie. He barged into our house demanding money. When I refused, he went into the room to steal things.

I tried to stop him, but that brat pushed me down."

Upon hearing this, Huo Chen’s eyes darkened frighteningly, and without turning back, he stormed outside.

Granny Huo was taken aback and turned to Xu Ying in a panic: "Go quickly and stop your husband."

The grandson used to be young, and the public order wasn’t good back then; fights were common, and it wasn’t a big deal.

But now that law enforcement had tightened and her grandson was grown, if he were to crack that no-good kid’s head open, her grandson could end up in jail.

She couldn’t let her grandson go to jail over something like this.

Mrs. Xu, realizing Huo Chen’s temperament, rushed out anxiously: "You stay here and keep Granny company, I’ll go find Huo Chen."

After speaking, Mrs. Xu ran off, her heart pounding with fear that Huo Chen might have seriously hurt someone and would end up in jail.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she ran into the man standing alone, smoking. Xu felt a relief: "You kid, you’ve scared me, your Granny, and your wife half to death."

Huo Chen gave a bitter smile. He had indeed wanted to beat Huo Hanjie to a pulp to vent his anger, but after he stepped outside, he thought of his wife and unborn child and abandoned the thought.

All he could do was smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.

"Mom, I’m not that impulsive. If Huo Hanjie did something wrong, the police will deal with him. I’m just a bit angry."

Mrs. Xu exhaled, relieved at his words: "It’s just that uncle of yours, he’s always been this way, never doing any real work. Now who knows from whom he’s picked up gambling."

"I bet he lost money, that’s why he ended up at your house."

Huo Chen’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.

Huo Hanjie stealing Granny Huo’s money was a family matter, and even if it were reported to the police, they would only give a verbal warning and probably wouldn’t intervene much.

But if Huo Hanjie had gambling debts he couldn’t repay, someone would naturally come to "teach" him.

With this thought, Huo Chen went straight to find the village riff-raff.

When he arrived, a few of the local riff-raff were sitting together playing mahjong.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, the heart of Xu Dalizi tightened instantly, and he immediately said to others, "Quickly pack up the stuff; could it be that someone from above has come?"

A few riff-raff looked anxious upon hearing this, quickly stood up, and hurriedly started hiding the mahjong tiles.

"Who is it?" Xu Dalizi swaggered to the door, and when he saw Huo Chen outside, he got a big scare.

Although Xu Dalizi was about a decade or so older than Huo Chen, he still felt intimidated by the young man. He always thought Huo Chen was easy to bully when he was younger and envied him every time he saw him hunting.

Once, fearing nothing, he rushed up to snatch something. But he didn’t succeed in taking anything and instead got beaten up by Huo Chen, which made him afraid of Huo Chen ever since.

"Huo, Huo Chen, your wife isn’t here," Xu Dalizi, trying to emulate a tough guy, his speech was not fluent.

Huo Chen chuckled lightly, "My wife definitely isn’t here, I came to find you for some business."

He said and walked into the house, only to see several men lined up against the wall.

The men, feeling the sweep of Huo Chen’s gaze, were so terrified they didn’t dare let out a breath.

The villagers were afraid of Huo Chen’s ruthlessness, and the others who didn’t know him thought he was from the police, now shivering in fear.

"Comrade, we weren’t playing mahjong; we were just gathering to chat," blurted out one of the shorter men in a panic.

This remark received several eye-rolls.

Xu Dalizi also glared at the man and then looked at Huo Chen ingratiatingly: "What are you looking for me for? You’re not going to manage us playing mahjong, are you?"

Huo Chen shook his head, moved closer, which scared Xu Dalizi into retreating several steps, almost causing him to fall.

"Wha—what’s going on? Just speak if you have something to say."

"Does Huo Hanjie often play mahjong with you guys? Do you know where he went?" Huo Chen’s voice was cold, his gaze sharp as he swept over the group, slightly lifting his hand as he observed their reactions.

Upon hearing Huo Hanjie’s name, Xu Dalizi immediately felt a surge of anger, "Your uncle owes us money and ran away without paying.

Who knows where he’s run off to." freewёbnoνel.com

"Exactly, I don’t know either," the shorter man chimed in.

Xu Dalizi inwardly cursed, glaring at this fool who was only good at ruining things and not keeping his mouth shut.

Huo Chen was as sharp as a monkey, not even a bit worse than Xu Ying; these words were definitely giving them away.

Huo Chen immediately turned his gaze to the shorter man.

Facing Huo Chen’s tall stature, the short man shrank, and at the moment Huo Chen raised his hand, he was so frightened that he hugged his head, "Don’t hit me, I really don’t know where he ran off to.

Even if you hit me, I won’t know, ahhh!"

Xu Dalizi, after seeing what was in Huo Chen’s hands, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he poked the short man saying irritably, "Shut up."

The short man finally closed his mouth.
