In the morning, Xia Yichu brought the porridge she had cooked at Pei Shizhou's house to visit her grandmother. She came alone today; Zhou Wenbin and Pei Shizhou had gone out after their conversation yesterday and hadn't returned all night, as they were investigating Pei Feng and Feng Yarou.

When Xia Yichu arrived, Grandma Xia was talking to Xia Zhiqian. She glanced at her but didn't go in.

The rest of the Xia family were sitting in the living room, including Yang Yunxia. She sat in a corner on a small stool, her head down, so Xia Yichu couldn't see her expression. No one spoke to her.

"Xiao Chu, come sit here."

Su Qingyan pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Xiao Bo can't sit still, so Xia Zhiheng is holding his hand and walking around the room."

"sister in law"

Xia Yichu sat down and called out to Su Qingyan, then greeted Zhou Miaoying, who was sitting next to Su Qingyan. Zhou Miaoying looked quite haggard, and her complexion wasn't good either.

Did you cook porridge for Grandma?

Su Qingyan looked at the lunchbox Xia Yichu had placed on the table and asked, "Luo Hao and Xia Guoan were the ones who looked after Grandma Xia last night. The others only started arriving early this morning. Xia Zhiheng went to the police station early to wait for Xia Zhiqian. They arrived home just a minute before Xia Yichu arrived."

"Yes, sister-in-law, did Grandma eat breakfast?"

"She ate two bites of porridge and said she couldn't eat anymore. Could you take some in later and ask her if she wants some?"

Su Qingyan said worriedly that her grandmother hadn't eaten much since being discharged from the hospital, and everyone was very worried.

When asked what she wanted to eat, she said she didn't want to eat anything. Last night before going to bed, she only ate two pieces of mung bean cake that Pei Shizhou bought yesterday.

"it is good"

No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense. Half an hour later, Xia Zhiqian finally came out of the room and went straight to Zhou Miaoying.

He knelt down, held her hand, and looked at her with red eyes, saying, "Ah Ying, are you alright?"

When Xia Zhiqian learned that he had never touched Jiang Jinning, he cried bitterly in prison.

God really heard his prayers. For the past two days, Xia Zhiqian had been praying silently in his heart. He didn't want anything else, he just wanted to pray that God would use all the luck he had in his life on this matter.

Yesterday, his older brother told him that he wasn't the one who raped Jiang Jinning, and he was overjoyed.

"nothing and you?"

Zhou Miaoying tenderly touched Xia Zhiqian's full beard; she had experienced so much in just a few days.

First, Xia Zhiqian slept with another girl, and then she discovered that he had been framed. Just when she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Then came the good news that Jiang Jinning hadn't been raped by Xia Zhiqian. She felt sorry for Jiang Jinning and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xia Zhiqian was framed by the victim, and she never intended to divorce him, this incident remained a thorn in their side. Fortunately, everything is alright now, and the storm has finally passed.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry you suffered."

Xia Zhiqian's voice choked with emotion. Zhou Miaoying shook her head, crying, saying that as long as the outcome was good, she wasn't suffering.

"Ah Ying, I'll go home first, take a shower, and change my clothes before I come back."

Xia Zhiqian hadn't had a proper shower for several days, and his body smelled a bit unpleasant.

"Okay, you should go back now!"

Xia Zhiqian stood up and said to Su Qingyan and Xia Yichu, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Chu, could you please take care of Aying for me?"

The Zhou family visited Grandma Xia yesterday and are now running a business at the market. Zhou's mother brought Zhou Miaoying over this morning, chatted with Grandma Xia for a while, and then went home. Her daughter hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately, so she's going home to make chicken soup for her.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Su Qingyan said, and Xia Yichu nodded. After Xia Zhiqian left, Xia Yichu went to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon.

"Sister-in-law Ying, I cooked a lot of millet porridge. Can you have a bowl?"

As Xia Yichu spoke, she scooped porridge from the lunchbox with a spoon. She noticed that Zhou Miaoying's complexion was not good and was worried about the baby in her belly.

She cooked the millet porridge using water from her spatial dimension, hoping she would eat some, as it would be good for both her and the child.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

"Xia Yichu, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you only feed her millet porridge."

Yang Yunxia suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, and everyone looked at her in an instant.

"Did I say something wrong? Besides, who knows if you put any weird stuff in this porridge?"

Xia Yichu frowned slightly. She felt that Yang Yunxia had been acting very strangely lately, like a broken pot that had been smashed. Before Xia Yichu could speak, Su Qingyan stepped in front of her to protect her.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Chu meant well."

Yang Yunxia snorted coldly, "Kind-hearted? Who can guarantee that she doesn't want to harm Aying's unborn child?"

Zhou Miaoying said angrily, "If we're talking about harming me and the child, you're the heartless one. Xiao Chu, don't worry about her, I like your millet porridge."

"Zhou Miaoying, I am your mother-in-law," Yang Yunxia said, standing up with great emotion.

"Or maybe not. You almost killed Zhiqian. Now you want to act like a mother-in-law? Dream on."

"You...you're lawless! I'm going to make Zhiqian divorce you."

Zhou Miaoying ignored Yang Yunxia, ​​picked up the millet porridge on the table and started eating, praising how delicious it was as she ate.

Yang Yunxia stood there for a while with a livid face, and when no one paid any attention to her, she stormed off.

"Sister-in-law, eat slowly, I'm going in to feed Grandma some porridge."

After Yang Yunxia left, Xia Yichu stood up, picked up the lunchbox, and went into Grandma Xia's room. Grandpa was talking to Grandma in the room, and Grandma was quietly listening to him.

"Grandma, I made you some porridge, please eat some."

"Xia Yichu said softly. Grandma Xia looked up at Xia Yichu and said weakly, "Xiaochu, Grandma doesn't have much of an appetite."

"Grandma, please eat a little something so you can get better."

Xia Yichu went over and patiently persuaded him, then poured the porridge from the lunchbox into a bowl on the bedside table.

"This is a token of my appreciation, old woman, please have some."

Grandma Xia hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Seeing that Grandma had agreed to eat the porridge, Xia Yichu quickly scooped up a spoonful.

Grandma Xia opened her mouth and took two bites, then shook her head and said she couldn't eat anymore. Xia Yichu didn't force her anymore, and when Grandpa Xia saw Grandma Xia like this, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Grandma, I'm going to wash the lunchbox and bowls. I'll come back in and keep you company later."

Xia Yichu, holding back her tears, said that she had tidied up the bowls, spoons, and lunchbox.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Grandma Xia watched Xia Yichu walk away with reluctance, feeling that they were the ones who had wronged Xia Yichu and her mother.

"Old man, I'll go downstairs and apologize to Wei Hong first."

"No, wait for me, let's apologize to Wei Hong together."

Grandpa Xia held Grandma Xia's hand tightly, as if afraid that if he let go of her, she would leave him.

"No, if we all leave, what will happen to Xiao Chu? What if Zhi Heng and Zhi Qian don't care about her, or Shi Zhou bullies her?"

Grandma Xia knew her two grandsons and Pei Shizhou's character; she was just trying to find a reason for Grandpa Xia to live a good life after she was gone.

"No, they won't abandon Xiao Chu. Besides, even if they do, there's the Lin family. The Lin family won't abandon Xiao Chu. Yes, there's the Lin family. We don't need to worry about Xiao Chu. The National Security Bureau will take care of her too. The National Security Bureau definitely won't abandon Xiao Chu, he..."

Grandpa Xia became incoherent by the end, perhaps he didn't even know what he was saying.

"Old man, listen to me, I really can't take it anymore. Zhiheng and Zhiqian are good people, but they have a vicious mother."

I'm afraid Yang Yunxia will harm them and Xiao Chu. With you here, Yang Yunxia will be more restrained. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will be able to control Yang Yunxia in the future.

So you must live well and take good care of them. Promise me, okay?
