"Oh, just do as my mom says!" Lan Yin bumped into him with her soft body. "Anyway, you have so many houses, it's a waste to leave them empty. It's better to give one to my parents so they won't be a nuisance living at home."

"Who would complain?" Xie Zhi retorted, his neck stiff. "This is my home, your parents are my parents, who would dare to look down on them?"

Aunt Chen happened to be coming over with her two children for lunch. She helped each child to a chair and ladled a bowl of meatball soup for them. "Here, these are your favorite lotus root and meatball soups, eat more!"

Seeing Xie Zhi eating braised pork with his mouth full of oil, Xiao Li became envious and picked up her chopsticks to grab some.

Li Chunxiang reached out and knocked the chopsticks out of her hand. "You can't eat this. This is something I made especially for your dad. A girl like you will get fat if she eats this, and you won't be pretty if you get fat, you know?"

Xiaoli was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Aunt Chen quickly hugged and comforted the crying Xiaoli. "Xiaoli, don't cry. We won't eat braised pork, how about we eat meatballs instead?"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Tian gritted his teeth. He had tolerated this vicious old woman for a long time, and he angrily pointed at her and roared, "Xiao Li didn't eat any of your food, so why did you knock her chopsticks away? You old witch, I don't want you living in our house anymore, get out!"

Lan Yin secretly gave Li Chunxiang a thumbs up behind Xie Zhi's back.

Li Chunxiang wanted to provoke Xiaotian in front of Xie Zhi, so that Xie Zhi would witness firsthand that she couldn't stay in this house any longer.

"Xiaotian, this is your home, and it's also my daughter's home. I'm living in my own daughter's home, so why are you telling me to get out? I'm still your grandmother, after all." Li Chunxiang looked at Xie Xiaotian with a forced smile.

“You’re not my grandmother, you’re a witch.”

"Xiao Tian, ​​how can you talk like that?" Xie Zhi angrily threw his chopsticks at Xiao Tian. "You have no manners at all. Apologize to your grandmother right now."

Xiao Tian shrank back to avoid being hit by the chopsticks, and continued to accuse Li Chunxiang of her crimes. "Dad, she's a bad person. Don't be fooled by her. The dishes on this table weren't made by her at all. They were all made by Aunt Chen. Also, when you're not home, she often bullies the three of us. She either hits or scolds us. Aunt Chen gets beaten up by her every time she tries to help us."

"Aunt Chen, is it as Xiao Tian said?" Xie Zhi tilted his balding head forward again, his eyes fixed on the woman opposite him.

Lan Yin's warning gaze also fell on Aunt Chen's face.

She wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid of losing her job. She had worked for this family for five years, and the whole family depended on her salary to live. The children's mother had been very good to her before, and she had promised the children's mother that she would take good care of the two children in this family.

So she lowered her head and whispered, "Boss, that's not how it is."

"You little brat, lying all the time at such a young age, I'll beat you to death!" Xie Zhi was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He got up, walked to the other side, and picked up Xiao Tian.

It's like carrying a chick; you hold it with one hand and slap its bottom hard with the other.

Xiao Tian screamed in agony.

"Boss, please don't hit Xiaotian! It's all my fault, I didn't teach Xiaotian well. Hit me instead!" Aunt Chen knelt down before Xie Zhi with a thud. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

"Daddy, please don't hit my brother anymore." Xiaoli also knelt down before Xie Zhi, her little shoulders shaking with sobs, and pointed her little finger at Li Chunxiang. "We don't like this witch, she will poison us, Daddy, please send her away, I don't want to live with her, I'm scared."

Aunt Chen had told the two siblings the story of Snow White. As soon as Li Chunxiang and her daughter moved in, Xiao Tian mistook Li Chunxiang for the old witch in the fairy tale.

Although they didn't like Lan Yin either, this woman wasn't home every day; she had to go to school and didn't spend much time with them. Every time she came back, she would just fool around with her father in her room.

Li Chunxiang, on the other hand, was with them every day, and every time they opened their eyes they would see this annoying woman.

Most importantly, this old witch always bullies them, and if Aunt Chen is protective of her own, she'll bully Aunt Chen too.

"Try talking bad about your grandmother again!" Xie Zhi raised his hand to hit his daughter.

Lan Yin grabbed his hand. "Oh dear, you can't hit the children. They are your own flesh and blood. I feel sorry for them even if you don't. Brother Zhi, put Xiao Tian down quickly. If you keep holding him like this, you'll break his hand."

"Baby, they talked about your mother like that, and you're not even angry. You even speak well of them." Xie Zhi put Xiao Tian down, reached out and hugged Lan Yin, and kissed her forehead with his greasy lips. "You're such a good woman."

"Brother Zhi, in order to resolve the conflict, you should do as my mother said. It'll be better for everyone, don't you think?" Lan Yin blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering as if they could summon spirits.

Xie Zhi, blinded by lust, nodded. "Okay, I promise you. Besides this building, I also have another two-bedroom apartment in Yaleju, which is currently rented out. I'll go with Mom to transfer the ownership tomorrow, and we can move in next month."

"What are we waiting for next month?" Lan Yin's voice was so gentle it was almost melting. "The family conflict can't be allowed to escalate any further. On one side is your child, and on the other is my mother. They are both our closest relatives. We'll go to transfer the property tomorrow, have the tenants move out directly, and just give them some compensation. My mother can also move in sooner."

"This..." He wanted to say that he had signed a rental agreement.

"Oh dear, what's this?" Lan Yin tugged at his hand a few times, then nestled her head against his chest in a coquettish manner. "Is money more important or family? You don't want to see the kids arguing with my mother, do you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Xie Zhi had no bottom line when it came to this woman.

He would agree to anything Lan Yin did as long as she acted cute. This woman was the apple of his eye, more important than his two children.

Previously, news of Lan Yin's marriage reached the school, and the school wanted to expel her, fearing that she would corrupt the school's atmosphere. However, Xie Zhi resolved everything for her, allowing her to continue her university studies with her head held high.

"Zhi-ge is so good!" In front of everyone, Lan Yin bent down and kissed Xie Zhi.

"Honey, sit down and eat too!" Xie Zhi pulled her to sit beside him and placed the rest of the meatball soup in front of her. "Don't you like meatballs too? Here, eat all of these."

After saying that, he personally scooped up a meatball with a spoon and fed it into Lan Yin's mouth.

Aunt Chen felt embarrassed and quickly took the two children to the coffee table to eat; it was truly an eyesore.

Fortunately, Aunt Chen ladled a bowl of meatball soup for the two children; otherwise, the meatballs she had painstakingly made especially for them would have all ended up in that wicked woman's stomach.

Lan Yin didn't stand on ceremony. She didn't eat any other dishes or rice, and finished all the remaining meatball soup.
