Jin Aiyun raised her hand to stop her, "Zhang Shuhua, if it weren't for my father-in-law's sake, I would have broken off all ties with you long ago."

"Jianguo is easy to talk to, but I, Jin Aiyun, am not someone to be trifled with. Now that you've really put your plans in my face, don't blame me for speaking harshly."

With that, Jin Aiyun stood up. "I'll make this clear once and for all today. From now on, our family has nothing to do with yours. I'll produce a gift list later and calculate the money you gave for my eldest and second son's weddings and births. Tonight, I'll have Yan Yan deliver the money to you. We will absolutely not attend Tang Qingxue's wedding. Now, leave my house immediately!"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, amazed at how shameless Tang Qingxue's parents were.

Zhang Shuhua's face darkened, and she opened her mouth to retort, but Tang Wenlin spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, you've really misunderstood. It's true that we didn't think things through. Qingxue did something wrong to Yanchen, and we shouldn't force her. We'll take the invitation back, and we'll continue to have normal contact with Yanchen, Yanxing, and Nuannuan after their weddings."

With that, Tang Wenlin took the invitation from the gift package, glanced at Zhang Shuhua, and gestured for her to leave.

Zhang Shuhua was still angry and slowly stood up.

Tang Wenlin smiled at Zhou Jianguo and Jin Aiyun, "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, we'll head back now."

Jin Aiyun: "Take the things back with you."

"This is just a small token of our appreciation. We would feel bad if our elder brother and sister-in-law didn't accept it."

Jin Aiyun: "What does your feeling of guilt have to do with me?"

Tang Wenlin choked for a moment.

Zhou Jianguo nodded slightly. "Put it there."

Jin Aiyun turned her head and glanced at him, while Zhou Jianguo shook his head at her.

Tang Wenlin and his wife have passed away.

Jin Aiyun plopped down next to Zhou Jianguo, "Why did you leave these things behind? Are we short of food or something!"

Zhou Jianguo chuckled, "The two of them have been here for so long, and you've said some pretty harsh things, but they don't seem to care at all. For every one thing you say, they have ten more to say. There's no need to waste your breath arguing with them. Just take these things back with you when you give them the money tonight."

Jin Aiyun stopped scolding him and pointed at Zhou Yanxing beside her, "Xiao Si, go to the study and get the gift lists for your eldest and second brothers' weddings and births. I'll calculate it now!"

Zhou Yanxing: "Mom, it's time for lunch. Let's talk about it after we eat."

"No way!" Jin Aiyun had a short temper. "I can't eat until the accounts are settled today!"

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "Go get it for your mother."

Zhou Yanxing responded with an "oh".

Standing up, Zhou Yanyan saw Lu Yan walking towards him with a needle sheath. He was taken aback. "Sister Yan, why are you carrying needles? Who are you going to give acupuncture to?"

Hearing the commotion, Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo both stood up.

"Xiao Lu, have you had the needle removed?"

Lu Yan nodded. "I overheard you guys chatting when I came over, and I was afraid it would be awkward, so I listened for a while, but I only heard the last few sentences."

Lu Yan's main principle is honesty.

Jin Aiyun smiled and said, "This is your home too. Next time, you can come out and listen openly and honestly."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yanxing blinked and repeated, "Sister Yan, who are you giving acupuncture to?"

Lu Yan: "Give Mr. Zhou acupuncture."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuannuan strode over, looking excitedly at Lu Yan, "Sister Yan, are you giving my third brother acupuncture?"

Lu Yan nodded.

"Sister Yan, can you cure my third brother?"

Zhou Yanxing's heart trembled as he asked that question.

Lu Yan pursed her lips, teasing him deliberately, "Give it a try."

Zhou Yanxing's excited heart sank, but he still nodded and encouraged her, "Yes, Sister Yan, we all believe in you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just tell me what you need, and I can do anything!"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I will try my best."

Zhou Nuannuan swallowed excitedly, "Sister Yanyan, just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do my best to do it."

Lu Yan reached out and pinched her little face. "You don't have to do anything. Just eat the meals I make for you on time and get yourself fat."

Zhou Nuannuan touched the spot where Lu Yan had pinched her and chuckled.

Sister Yanyan smells so good.

Jin Aiyun: "Alright, alright, you two go ahead with your work, let Xiao Lu rest for a while."

Jin Aiyun looked at Lu Yan with a smile, "Little Lu, you go back to your room and rest first. I'll cook lunch today."

Zhou Nuannuan muttered to herself, "Mom, if I had known you were going to cook, I wouldn't have come back."

Jin Aiyun exclaimed "Hey!" and then laughed and scolded, "You brat, you're complaining about my cooking now."

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. "Auntie, let me do it. I'll go cook in a bit."

Jin Aiyun smiled and said, "Okay."

Lu Yan put the needlework back and started cooking.

Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo arrived at Zhou Yanchen's room.

Zhou Yanchen was sitting on the bed reading the newspaper when Jin Aiyun quickly walked over. "Yanchen, how are you feeling right now?"

Zhou Yanchen put down the newspaper in his hand. "Mom, it's impossible to feel anything the first time."

Jin Aiyun nodded with a smile, "I know, I know, I just get excited and talkative. Are you feeling unwell?"

Jin Aiyun was worried that Zhou Yanchen might have some kind of reaction, such as chest tightness or something.

Zhou Yanchen shook his head. "Mom, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

Seeing that he looked normal, Jin Aiyun nodded, "Okay, okay, if you feel unwell anywhere, just tell Xiao Lu."

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement.

Zhou Nuannuan looked at Jin Aiyun and asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly let Sister Yanyan give Third Brother acupuncture?"

Jin Aiyun glanced at Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo recounted what had happened the previous night.

Zhou Yanxing excitedly grabbed Zhou Yanchen's arm, "Brother, is it true? Is it really true? Can Sister Yan really cure you?"

Zhou Yanchen sighed helplessly, "Let go of me first, you're making me dizzy."

Zhou Yanxing immediately released Zhou Yanchen's arm. "Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Zhou Nuannuan burst into tears.

Zhou Yan sighed helplessly, "Why are you crying?"

Zhou Nuannuan didn't want to cry, but the tears just wouldn't stop flowing. She didn't even have time to wipe them away, so she simply stopped.

"Third Brother, I'm so happy, I'm so happy!"

Zhou Jianguo and Jin Aiyun were pleased to see that the children got along well.

Zhou Jianguo instructed them, "Don't tell anyone about this yet. Everyone outside knows that no one can cure your third brother's leg. If people find out, they'll definitely ask questions, and they might even say some unpleasant things to Xiao Lu."

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan nodded repeatedly, "Dad, we know our limits."
