Chapter 735: Escape from Famine 40
The medicine Yuanchun gave him was stored in the previous small world. Old man Huo's fever subsided half an hour after he took it.

After eating two large steamed buns and half a fish, Old Man Huo suddenly felt strong again and came back to life.

This was the first time he had seen his nephew face to face. Old Man Huo was very happy. He pulled Geng Dalin to sit down and asked, "How is your mother these years?"

Geng Dalin was confused: "..."

What does his mother’s well-being have to do with this old man Huo?
Why does this old man care about his mother?
He wouldn't be coveting his mother, right?
He wants to be his stepfather?
Geng Dalin's mind was filled with wild thoughts and his face turned red with anger. He stood up, carried the basket on his back, and ran away quickly.

Old man Huo was confused. He just wanted to know how his sister was doing over the years, so why did his nephew run away?
……

Geng Dalin ran back home in one breath.

After entering the house, he said to Yuanchun, "Mom, that old man Huo is not a good person. You should stay away from him from now on."

But don't let old man Huo's few nice words coax your mother into getting together with him.

He doesn't want a stepfather.

Yuanchun looked puzzled. "Yesterday he saved your two children, and you said you were grateful to him. Why are you saying he's a bad person today? Were you beaten by old man Huo in the bullpen?"

Geng Dalin's face flushed red, "No, he's not a good person anyway, Mom, don't pay attention to him when he talks to you next time."

"Hahaha……"

In the system space, 007 rolled on the sofa with laughter.

"Host, Geng Dalin got it wrong. Hahaha, so funny. Just now, Huo Guochang wanted to know how you've been doing these years, so he asked Geng Dalin. But Geng Dalin got it wrong himself and thought Huo Guochang was going to be his stepfather. Hahaha..."

Poof... Yuanchun just picked up the water, took a sip, and before she swallowed it, it all came out.

Yuanchun looked at her son as if he were a fool, and said, "Dalin, I forgot to tell you one thing. That old man Huo is Yao Wanhua's son. He is also my half brother and your uncle."

"What..." Geng Dalin jumped up in shock, "Mom, you didn't lie to me? Is he really my uncle?"

"What good would it do for me to lie to you?" Yuan Chun rolled her eyes at him, then slapped him on the back of his head, "Don't let your imagination run wild in the future. I'm already old, what does that old man want from me?"

"Hehe, hehe, this isn't... isn't this a misunderstanding, mother? That old man Huo, no, uncle, isn't he the one who often gave you food and meat in the past few years?"

Yuanchun held her forehead with her hand, oh no, she had forgotten about this.

Now, how can I get around this?
Yuanchun coughed twice, lowered her voice, and said, "Shh, keep your voice down. Your uncle gave me everything behind your aunt's back. Your uncle doesn't want anyone to know, so you should just pretend you don't know. Don't tell your uncle about it. Also, your uncle's current identity... We can't recognize each other as relatives, so just pretend you don't know he is your uncle. Don't tell anyone, not even Chunfeng, otherwise our whole family will be implicated by him, and maybe we will all have to live in the cowshed."

Geng Dalin doesn't want to live in a cowshed and smell cow dung every day.

Although he had caught cow dung with his bare hands and didn't mind the smell, that was work. Every rural worker who went to work in the fields had caught cow dung. But working and living with cow dung every day are two different things.

Geng Dalin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mom, I will keep my mouth shut and won't tell anyone else."

"Well, my son is the most tight-lipped. Son, go get me a basin of hot water. I want to soak my feet."

"Mom, wait a minute. I'll get you some hot water."

Geng Dalin put down the backpack and went to the kitchen happily.
