Yu Rujia went to the pharmacy, looked around for a while, and then quietly returned home.

Hiding in front of the screen wall, they quietly observed what was happening inside.

Her furtive movements were noticed by Xu Xiangyue, who was returning home from get off work. She looked inside but didn't find anything unusual.

Xu Xiangyue asked, puzzled, "Rujia, what are you looking at?"

Yu Rujia quickly stood up and waved to her.

As the others approached, Yu Rujia said softly, "Fifth Brother revealed Duoyi's true gender, and the children are making a huge fuss. I'll stay here and see if they're done."

Xu Xiangyue thought of how much the older children cared for Duoyi, and knew that Xia Jingxing would definitely not get away with it this time.

Xu Xiangyue leaned against the screen wall and listened for a while before saying, "There's no sound inside, they must be done."

Yu Rujia shook her head in disagreement: "It's usually so lively at home, it's even scarier when it's completely silent."

There are several children at home, and the house is filled with laughter and joy. But now that the house is there, it's eerily quiet. Isn't that frightening?

Xu Xiangyue also thought of this, and like Yu Rujia before her, she leaned against the screen wall and looked inside. After looking around for a while, she didn't see a single person.

Xu Xiangyue: "They're probably inside. We can't just not go in, can we?"

Yu Rujia's gaze swept over her for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "Why don't you go in and take a look first?"

Thinking about what was going on inside, Xu Xiangyue felt a chill run down her spine: "How about we wait a bit longer and wait for the people who are leaving get off work to come back and take a look?"

Both nodded in agreement. Let's let the person who comes back later try to figure this out.

It was rush hour, and they didn't have to wait long before they saw Xia Jingsheng come in with his bicycle.

Xia Jingsheng: "Mom, Rujia, what are you doing standing here?"

Xu Xiangyue, without changing her expression, tricked her eldest son: "I'll talk to Rujia here, Jingsheng, go in first."

Xia Jingsheng didn't notice anything unusual. He parked his bicycle in the bike shed and went inside.

Just as he was about to enter the main courtyard, a figure flew out, followed by several more figures landing beside him.

Caught off guard, Xia Jingsheng was given a solid beating.

A few minutes later, the children dragged Xia Jingsheng, who was lying there like a dead dog, inside, and the yard returned to its quiet state.

Yu Rujia and Xu Xiangyue, who witnessed all of this, gasped in shock. Luckily, it wasn't them who went in.

Immediately after Han Meifeng returned, Yu Rujia quickly pulled her aside and explained the reason to her.

One more person has joined the queue outside.

Although everyone in the Xia family has a job, they don't work in the same company.

Although the time people get off work is similar, the length of their routes home varies because they work at different companies, so the time they get home is naturally different.

When Xia Taiping and Xia Tai'an returned, they were both pulled aside by their loved ones.

When Xia Jingfan got home, he saw a group of people standing in front of the screen wall. Hearing the noise, several pairs of eyes swept over him.

Bathed in the gaze of everyone, Xia Jingfan felt something was off: "What's wrong with you all?"

Han Meifeng cleared her throat: "Let's talk here. Jing Fan, if you're not done, go inside first. Don't disturb us here."

Xia Jingfan thought to herself, "What is it that you can't tell me?"

However, noticing that most of the people in the group were elders, and that the remaining peer was more important than him, Xia Jingfan didn't dare to ask.

Under the glaring eyes of several elders, Xia Jingfan obediently parked his bicycle and walked towards the main courtyard.

Thus, Xia Jingsheng's experience was repeated in his life.

As the group looked at each other in bewilderment, Xia Yuanqiang's voice came from inside: "Come in, everyone, it's alright now."

Han Meifeng glanced at Xia Tai'an, signaling him to go and scout ahead.

On the other side, Xu Xiangyue was also pulling Xia Taiping along, her purpose obvious.

The two unfortunate brothers exchanged a glance and obediently moved towards the main courtyard.

Fortunately, they were not attacked once they entered the courtyard.

Only then did the women realize that Xia Yuanqiang's statement that everything was alright might actually be true.

The three of them walked together toward the main courtyard.

As soon as they entered, they saw three members of the Jing generation with bruises and swelling on their faces. Xia Jingxing was the worst off, his face completely blackened.

Xia Jingshu sat next to Xia Yuanqiang, holding Duoyi, whose head was drooping, and seemed perfectly fine.

The children kept glaring at Xia Jingxing, occasionally glancing at their new younger brother, Duoyi, with complicated expressions.

Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingfan, the two unlucky souls, looked at the three women who came in behind them with resentment in their eyes. No wonder they stayed by the screen wall and didn't come in; it turned out they knew what had happened inside.

Xu Xiangyue coughed awkwardly, "You haven't cooked dinner yet? Shall we go cook?"

Han Meifeng stepped towards the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Ignoring the resentful gazes of the group, Yu Rujia followed the two into the kitchen, where the stove was indeed cold.

The three of them quickly took out the vegetables they needed from where they were kept and started cooking.

Xu Xiangyue sighed, "I wonder when the children will calm down."

Yu Rujia: "It seems she's furious."

Han Meifeng: "How could I not be angry? My little sister, whom I've cherished for three or four years, suddenly turned into a little brother. No one could stand that."

"Why was Jingxing so stupid as to poke at this hole? If he was going to poke at it, he should have gone further away. He made us all worry."

Yu Rujia: "I was in my room at the time. Duoyi came over crying and told me about it. I didn't know what happened in between."

Xu Xiangyue: "This is bound to happen sooner or later. The kids are upset, so let them beat up Jing Sheng and the others to vent their anger. They're young and can take a beating."

The child is still young and feels upset and frustrated, so we can only ask the younger, more experienced members of the Jing generation to take care of things.

The group quickly prepared the food and brought it to the dining room. They called out to the outside, and people started coming over one after another.

This meal was more oppressive than ever before.

Under the constant glares he received, the culprit Xia Jingxing shrank back humbly, not daring to pick up a single bite of food, focusing only on the white rice in his bowl. After finishing, he didn't dare to ask for more rice, hastily making do with a bowl of white rice for his meal.

After finishing the meal, Xia Yuanqiang said, "Duolu, if you're still angry, then beat up your dad and the others. Go ahead and beat them up, don't hold back, they can take it."

The three men of the Jing generation shuddered again.

Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingfan couldn't help but curse inwardly. They weren't the ones who started hiding Duoyi's true gender, nor were they the ones who exposed it. So why were they the ones being blamed when it came to taking the blame?

However, under the glares of several elders and younger relatives, the two unlucky guys could only silently swallow their bitterness. Unwilling to accept it, they secretly glared at the troublesome Xia Jingxing.

Yu Rujia and the others finally understood why the children had been targeting Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingfan; it turned out they had received permission from the head of the family.
