After dinner, Xia Yichu sat downstairs chatting with Lin Weidong and his wife, and Xia Guoan was also there. Pei Shizhou had just called to say he wouldn't be coming over tonight; he was busy today and would finish too late.

After dinner, Lin Xingyuan took care of Yu Mengxi and the child upstairs. He took care of them all night, as the nanny did not stay at home at night.

"Auntie, have any of my sister-in-law's family members come to see her recently?"

Xia Yichu guessed that after her brother spent all the money, he would encourage Yu's mother to come to Yu Mengxi, because family ties are not so easy to sever.

Regardless of whether Yu Mengxue, Yu Mengxi's older brother, is reasonable, Yu Mengxi's parents, the couple, are not so easy to let go of, mainly because they treated Yu Mengxi well before.

"No"

When Xia Yichu mentioned the Yu family, Lin's mother's expression turned sour. With such in-laws, her son and his wife would have many more troubles to deal with in the future.

"That's good. I hope that my sister-in-law can return the money to the Yu family and that Yu Mengxue can spend more time. Everything will be fine once my sister-in-law has finished her postpartum confinement."

Without Xia Yichu's spatial water, Yu Mengxi's recovery wouldn't have been as good, and she might have developed postpartum complications.

"I'm afraid there's no way around it. Your older brother has inquired about the Yu family's situation. He heard that Yu Mengxue sold the house immediately after acquiring it, at a price five percent lower than the market price."

Originally, your eldest brother wanted to secretly buy the house back without telling the Yu family, but your sister-in-law disagreed, saying she didn't want to get involved with her family anymore.

Lin's mother agreed, worried that if the Yu family found out, it would cause a lot of trouble. Yu Mengxi had only lived in this house for a few months; it wasn't their marital home, so it was fine if it was gone.

Yu Mengxi wants a house, and they can wait until their son earns enough money to buy her one, and it can be put in her own name. They have no objection, as long as the young couple can live a good life together.

"Auntie, does my sister-in-law know about this?"

There were still some things Lin's mother hadn't told Xia Yichu. She was also pregnant, and Lin's mother didn't want Xia Yichu to worry about Yu Mengxi.

According to Lin Xingyuan, Yu Mengxue didn't use the money from selling the house to pay off the bank loan. Instead, she used the money to buy mutual funds, and they don't know whether it's going well or not yet. Even Yu's parents don't know about this yet.

Lin Xingyuan started paying attention to Yu Mengxue because of Pei Shizhou's advice. Luckily, he listened to Pei Shizhou's suggestion to have someone follow Yu Mengxue, which led him to discover all the despicable things Yu Mengxue had done.

However, Lin Xingyuan dared not let Yu Mengxi know about these things and kept them completely hidden from her. He also instructed his mother not to let Mengxi see her family, and not to let them meet even if Yu's parents came.

They planned to keep it a secret for as long as possible. Fortunately, no resident could bring them into their community, so Lin Xingyuan made a special trip to the four gatehouses of the community to give them a heads-up.

They told them not to let Yu's mother in, but she had been living there for several months and the property management and neighbors all knew her.

It would be relatively easy for her to get in, so Lin Xingyuan was a little worried. But he had done everything he could, and now, apart from taking precautions, he could only leave the rest to fate.

"I don't know. We don't plan to tell your sister-in-law. If we're going to tell her, we'll wait until she finishes her postpartum period."

Xiao Chu, postpartum recovery is very important for women. It's crucial to maintain a positive mood during this time. Remember to speak up if anything is bothering you; don't bottle it up. Your sister-in-law is fortunate to have your brother with her; she's been much happier lately.

Also, don't bottle up your emotions during pregnancy. Your baby can sense whether you're in a good or bad mood while you're in your belly.

Lin's mother was very concerned about Xia Yichu, worrying every day that she might have missed some issues that needed attention during pregnancy, and that she might not have told Xia Yichu about them, since Xia Yichu had neither a mother-in-law nor a mother.

This is the first child for the young couple, and they have no experience. No, they need to get Pei Shizhou to find a reliable and experienced nanny to take care of Xia Yichu as soon as possible.

"Auntie, I understand. I'll let you know if anything comes up."

"Xiao Chu, you can talk to me too."

Xia Guoan couldn't help but say something from the side, and then he regretted it.

Watching Xia Yichu's expression carefully, Xia Guoan was prepared for Xia Yichu to be angry and scold him.

"Um"

Unexpectedly, Xia Yichu responded in a very soft voice. If Xia Guoan hadn't been staring at her the whole time, he wouldn't have believed that the "hmm" came from Xia Yichu's mouth.

He was so happy that he was at a loss for words. The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and just as he was about to say something, Lin's mother suddenly pointed at Xia Yichu's forehead and scolded her.

"You silly girl, who told you to give the kids two houses? And you even said that Xingcheng and Xingye's children would also have houses when they are born, and that you would give each child two houses."

Is the house too hot to handle? If it is, why don't you just give it all to me? And your money? You might as well give it all to the Lin family.

Let everyone say that the Lin family is sucking your blood, and let everyone talk behind the Lin family's back.

"You'll make me and your uncle unable to face your mother after we pass away, and even less able to face your maternal grandparents."

After the last property transfer, the family had dinner together. Yu Mengxi was in a bad mood, and Lin Xingyuan was worried about her. He forgot to mention that Xia Yichu had given the child the house. By the time Lin Weidong and his wife found out, Xia Yichu was already in Hong Kong.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin didn't want to scold Xia Yichu over the phone, so they planned to wait until she came back to scold her face to face. They forgot about it today until they started talking about the Yu family, at which point Mrs. Lin remembered the house.

"Sister-in-law, please speak nicely, don't scold her, and don't poke Xiao Chu's forehead, it's all red from poking her forehead."

Lin's mother's actions towards Xia Yichu broke Xia Guoan's heart. Xia Guoan had no objection to Xia Yichu giving him the house; in fact, he wholeheartedly agreed.

"Shut up, what do you know! Xiao Chu just got married to Shi Zhou and she gave her house to the child. What do you expect Shi Zhou and the Zhou family to think?"

Besides, her brothers can earn their own money, so Xiao Chu doesn't need to subsidize them.

Xia Guoan was reprimanded mercilessly by Lin's mother, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak. Lin's mother thought that Pei Shizhou and the Zhou family were both good people and reasonable.

However, Lin's mother did not want Xia Yichu to do things that would give others cause for gossip, nor did she want her to give money or a house to the family.

"Yes, Xiao Chu, your aunt is right. We'll transfer the house back to her name tomorrow."

Lin Weidong also disagreed with Xia Yichu giving the house; he suggested that as the aunt, she should just give the child a red envelope and buy some toys and food for the child later.

There's no need to give them a house. The Lin family's descendants will definitely be able to live the life they want on their own, and they can't rely on others.

Lin Xingyuan paid for the house and dowry himself. Lin Weidong and his wife bought him wedding supplies. When Yu Mengxi entered the family, they gave her two big red envelopes.

They will follow the same standard when Lin Xingyuan gets married, just like they did when Lin Xingcheng gets married.

Even when Xia Yichu and Lin Xingyao got married, Lin's parents tried their best to treat them equally. In their hearts, their son and daughter were the same and should not be favored over each other.

"Uncle, Aunt, no, I still stand by what I said: the house is for the children, and you can't refuse it on their behalf."

Besides, the house is mine, and I can make the decisions about it. Shi Zhou has no right to object, nor has he ever objected.

He even felt that giving two apartments wasn't enough and wanted to give his own house to the child.

Xia Yichu's idea was that she would definitely make a lot of money in the future, and she wanted her relatives to live a good life. Having finally found a reason to give away the house, she wouldn't easily take it back.

"Xiao Chu, why are you being stubborn again?"

Lin Weidong's tone was helpless; Xiao Chu had become much more sensible after going to university.
