"Hey, sis, are you eating?"
Yu Jinbu, who was cooling down in the kitchen, heard Wang Jun's voice and quietly closed the kitchen door.
Wang Meixia's excellent mood was instantly ruined upon seeing her grandchildren. She sullenly told them to get out.
Wang Jun played the victim: "Sis, I haven't eaten for three days. Look how thin I've become! Don't bother, I'll get the bowl and chopsticks myself."
He pretended to walk towards the kitchen, which nearly scared Wang Meixia out of her wits.
She's not afraid if others find out, but if that bastard Wang Jun finds out her husband is still alive, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking to himself, his son-in-law had already subdued the man.
Relieved, Wang Meixia stepped forward and said, "Get out. If I see you barging in without saying hello again, I'll call the police."
Wang Meixia was adamant and gestured to her son-in-law to throw the person out.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Jun burst into tears: "Sister! Sister! My dear sister, we did have some misunderstandings before, but didn't your Yu Lian get the money back later?"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but now that she thinks about it, Wang Meixia is so angry she wants to grind her teeth.
When she was bedridden, he claimed the money was for her, but in reality, he coerced and bribed her. Plus, with the head of the family gone, he practically robbed her of the money.
"Pah! How dare you bring that up? He Lin, get him out!"
Before Wang Jun could speak, his collar tightened around his neck. Just as he was about to suffocate, he was thrown out.
As I fell from the height, I heard two bursts of irregular applause.
"Wow, is this what Boss He's skill is like? He can throw a shot put and you can throw a person without breaking a sweat."
"Is it any of your business?"
The anger that was about to subside was reignited by Xue Ci's interruption.
The sounds of arguing and the door closing could be heard.
Wang Jun propped up his nearly broken body and got up.
He was now increasingly certain that something was amiss with the Yu family. How come that coat his sister had burned with his own eyes was hanging out to dry in the yard this afternoon? And who was hiding in the kitchen?
He doesn't know now, but he has time to find out slowly.
late at night.
The Yu family courtyard was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Wang Meixia had just finished eating and tidied up when she was busy making the room and bed.
Fortunately, we had plenty of blankets at home, and the house had been renovated. The rooms that were unusable before were all renovated inside and out, and we added a lot of things, which made things much more convenient.
"Alright, hurry up and wash up and go to bed."
late at night.
He Lin leaned against the cramped lower bunk of the bunk bed, where An An had just lain down.
Meanwhile, the three little ones were excited outside.
He Lin regretted it. He regretted remembering his wife's words when his daughter called; he should have been a father without feelings.
This way, they wouldn't agree to come with Xue Ci and take up their living space.
"Mom! I miss you so much. I miss you, my older brother misses you, my second older brother misses you, and my little brother misses you too."
He Ningxi practically recited the names of everyone in her family.
Yu Lian had wanted her daughter to show off the gifts she brought from home, but it was too late today, so she told her daughter to suppress her excitement and bring them out tomorrow.
But the condition is that she has to sleep with her mother.
She followed, and the other two naturally followed as well.
Yu Lian, sleeping in the middle, was squeezed between the three little ones: "You guys are really not afraid of the heat."
"Mom, why haven't you come home for so long? I miss you so much."
Yu Lian also wanted to go home, but there were just too many problems here that needed to be solved one by one.
"It's my fault for letting down my four most beloved children. I promise I'll go back in two months, just like before."
He Ningchuan sobbed, "Mom, you don't go to school for activity days anymore. Huang Jiaming asked me if I don't have a mom anymore."
"He's just curious. You can tell him that his mother is here to work and will go back home, and will call them every day."
"Yes, I did. But I want you to go back. I don't like it here."
As Yu Lian was thinking of explaining things to the child, He Lin's voice came from the inner room: "He Ningchuan, all of you shut up and go to sleep. Anyone who talks too much will be sent away tomorrow."
For a moment, none of the three children dared to speak.
Yu Lian sighed: "Okay, let's go to sleep and talk about it tomorrow."
She could tell that He Lin was very unhappy about his seat being taken.
Yu Lian didn't want to speak loudly late at night, so she comforted the children and put them to sleep.
……
Early in the morning.
The hushed voices in the courtyard made Yu Lian groggily get up.
Upon opening the door, the two immediately separated, awkwardly turning their backs to each other.
"You two, don't cause trouble in my house. We'll talk about this back in Xiangshi."
"Yu Lian, ask yourself honestly, is Xue Ci someone who lacks a sense of the bigger picture? It was you, my good friend, who treated me like a dog. Where did you show your favoritism?"
Yu Lian gasped, "Yes, Jasmine, apologize to them and don't use these tricks to fool people again."
"No, we are indeed getting married. Um, I'll go back and register next week."
Yu Lian slammed the door shut, vowing never to pay attention to these two lunatics again.
Then I went back inside, washed my face, changed my clothes, and tried to clear my head a bit.
He Lin got up early and is now sitting at his desk working.
"Don't worry, Xue Ci likes Jasmine, and they used to date."
Yu Lian turned her head: "Am I still asleep, or are you talking in your sleep?"
He Lin closed his pen, stood up, and patted his wife on the shoulder: "It seems your best friend isn't so great to you."
At first glance, it seemed so, but upon closer inspection, Yu Lian immediately retorted, "Don't try to sow discord between me and Jasmine. Go find the child's clothes."
"Yes, my dear wife!"
Yu Lian stood there for two seconds, then followed He Lin into the inner room.
"An'an, go outside and get dressed. I need to talk to your dad about something."
"Um."
He Ning'an got up early, walked out in a daze, and didn't forget to close the door behind her parents.
"Tell me the truth, is it real or fake?"
He Lin feigned fear: "I will never dare to provoke anyone again, wife, please stop testing me. I really know I was wrong."
As Yu Lian gradually came to her senses, she realized that He Lin wouldn't lie about something like this.
"Oh dear~ tell me quickly!"
Holding his hand, He Lin's mood improved slightly: "It's true, I heard it from Xue Ci's friend..."
He Lin paused halfway through his sentence, not because he didn't want to continue.
"...You know I'm not a gossip."
No one could understand the despair Yu Lian felt upon hearing these words.
"Never mind... I was too curious."
Yu Lian experienced for the first time what it meant to be heartbroken and anxious.
"You should call and ask right away."
He Lin stopped what he was doing and looked at his wife, who was clamoring to hear gossip and had even called from a thousand miles away.
"Are you sure you want me to make a long-distance call to someone I don't know well, just to ask them about their past?"
Yu Lian nodded: "Is it not allowed?"
He Lin wanted to say something, but then held back.
"Okay, reward."
"I'll agree to anything you want, just ask around."
Knowing Jasmine's temperament, Yu Lian asked He Lin to make the call. She truly admired that after knowing her for so long, He Lin hadn't mentioned a single word about her.
My desire to know about my friend's past has now reached its peak.
Following He Lin into the main house, Yu Lian pressed his hand down as he picked up the receiver to make a phone call.
"Never mind, if Jasmine isn't going to tell me, it means she doesn't want to. I'm curious, but I can't disrespect her."
He Lin revealed a knowing look: "Alright, I respect your choice."
