Chen Zhaodi looked at the dried longan Xu Junhui brought over and exclaimed, "Are all of these dried longan?"

"Our in-laws are too kind. Did they bring everything?"

"Why don't you take some back, Junhui? It'll be good for Qinqin to eat more dried longan when she's in confinement after childbirth."

Xu Junhui quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "No need! No need to take it back!"

"There's still a lot at home, at least three or four portions more than here."

"It's getting late, and Qinqin and I still have to walk home, so we'll head back now, haha."

After saying that, he helped Huang Qinqin up and ran away as fast as he could.

Fearing that if they stayed any longer, Chen Zhaodi and the others would have already stuffed the dried longan back into their hands.

Seeing what Xu Junhui's family had reminded them of them, and Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan felt much less upset.

......

After returning home, Xu Junhui touched Huang Qinqin's face with some tenderness.

He asked softly, "Wife, did your second brother and the others make you angry? Did they do something wrong?"

Although Xu Junhui didn't know exactly what had happened, he noticed that Huang Jianjun and the others looked guilty when they left.

The faces of the other members of the Huang family all carried a hint of anger.

Furthermore, given that Huang Qinqin's attitude towards others remained the same as before, Xu Junhui boldly guessed that Huang Jianjun must have done something.

This caused other members of the Huang family to become dissatisfied with him.

Xu Junhui didn't care what Huang Jianjun did, but he couldn't tolerate Huang Qinqin being unhappy.

Huang Qinqin feels exhausted whenever Huang Jianjun is mentioned.

She leaned listlessly against Xu Junhui's chest and sighed heavily, "Sigh... it's a long story..."

Huang Qinqin briefly explained the whole story to him.

Then, with some self-doubt, he asked, "Junhui, do you think I'm not qualified, and shouldn't be involved in this matter?"

“I think my second brother has changed. Just because the Mu family is rich, he doesn’t care about our parents’ feelings and tries to please them.”

"My second brother wasn't like this before, although he said he wouldn't do it again."

"But now I'm a little hesitant to trust him..."

Xu Junhui gently nudged Huang Qinqin's head and replied earnestly, "You're also your parents' child, how could you not be qualified?"

"As for whether or not it should be done, it mainly depends on your own thoughts."

"If you want to get involved, then you should; if you don't, then you shouldn't."

"But I'd like to share my perspective on this matter with you."

Huang Qinqin suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute."

Then she shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position in his arms, and said, "Okay, go ahead and say it."

"I think it's actually a good thing that you've brought things up."

"Don't be fooled by how angry and upset your parents are today. The sooner we discover the problem, the less harm they will suffer."

“If you don’t investigate your second brother’s affairs today, then it’s very likely that he will only come home during holidays in the future.”

"And to be honest, most people can't stick to their principles when faced with temptation."

“If you let your second brother stay at the Mu family's house any longer, and he gets used to the Mu family's lifestyle, it will be difficult to get him to go home.”

"Another thing is, based on my understanding of my parents, if you don't bring this up today, they won't bring it up in the future either."

“As long as no one says anything, even if my second brother only comes home once every six months, he won’t find out anything about what Dad said.”

"Mom will definitely find out in a few days. But for the sake of the bigger picture, she definitely won't say anything."

"Then Mom could only silently suffer in her heart, so I think you did the right thing today."

"If you feel burdened or unhappy because you are interfering in your second brother's affairs."

"Then we'll just leave it alone from now on. After all, my second brother is already married and has his own ideas."

"And to be honest, even if you try to manage, interfere, or communicate with your second brother."

"But what Second Brother does in the future, won't it still depend on Second Brother himself?"

"And no matter how my second brother treats Mom and Dad in the future, we will definitely not abandon them."

So you don't need to worry too much, okay?

After hearing Xu Junhui's words, Huang Qinqin was no longer so conflicted.

Xu Junhui is right. No matter what happens in the future, Mom and Dad will never be without someone to take care of them.

As for what happens to Huang Jianjun in the future, they can't really interfere.

All I can say is that in the end, survival depends entirely on one's conscience.

......

Even as she lay in bed that night, Mu's mother was still thinking about Mu Shengnan and the others.

She always felt that Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan were hiding something from them.

She asked with some melancholy, "Honey, you said Jianjun and the others rushed back today, what's wrong with them?"

"I always felt that Jianjun's emotions were not right, and today Jianjun's brother even hit someone!"

"Do you think it's possible that your in-laws have changed their minds and don't want Shengnan and the others to move out?"

Mr. Mu hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't think so?"

"Since our in-laws agreed, they shouldn't go back on their word, right?"

"After all, it's not that we don't want Jianjun and the others to go home. If their in-laws miss them, they can go back and stay for a few days anytime."

"However, Jianjun and the others were not in a good mood when they went back."

"Maybe... um? Is there some noise outside?"

As Mr. Mu was talking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

He quickly got up to check if anyone had come in.

Mother Mu heard this too, and while she was getting dressed, she said, "Could it be that Sheng Nan and the others have returned?"

"I don't know, but Shengnan and the others said they won't be coming back tonight?"

"Let's keep a low profile and go out to check first. You can take that stick from the bedside."

For a period of time, people would frequently come to the Mu family's house to steal things, so Mu's father and his family put a few sticks in the room for self-defense.

Mr. Mu tiptoed outside and cautiously peeked out to observe.

By the moonlight, Mu's father immediately recognized the people in the yard as Mu Shengnan and Huang Jianjun.

He turned to tell Mu's mother, but when the alarm was lifted, he found that Mu's mother was no longer there.

Mu's father: ? ? ?

Where are they?!

But where is Mother Mu?

She recognized the people in the yard even faster than Mu's father, and by then they had already walked up to Huang Jianjun and the others.

"Shengnan, Jianjun, you're back."

"You all seem a bit off today, did something happen?"
