"Xiaoyu's words make sense, so let him be. I don't care." The cousin-in-law always listened to Qin Xiaoyu, so she had no choice but to let go.

When his cousin reached the door, he saw the professor coming out. It turned out that Ding Xiaojie had also gone to see him.

"Go in and take a look, we've been waiting for you." The professor said, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

The room smelled awful; it smelled like burn ointment. My cousin went in and moved the hospital bed step by step.

The old woman seemed to sense something, and stared intently at it with wide eyes. As she stared, she suddenly leaned back and stopped moving.

"Mom!" My cousin lowered his body, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and burst into tears.

The professor peeked through the crack in the door but didn't come in.

In the end, it was Qin Xiaoyu who helped Ding Xiaojie with the funeral arrangements for the old lady, while the professor brother was the first to escape.

"Little Fish." Ding Xiaojie seemed very tired, and hesitated to speak.

"You want a divorce?"

"How did you know?" Ding Xiaojie asked in surprise.

"You called me Xiaoyu, not sister-in-law," Qin Xiaoyu said with a wry smile.

"Yes, we're getting a divorce, soon. If he doesn't sign, I'll expose all the evidence and ruin his reputation." Ding Xiaojie's face showed no emotion, only a hollow voice tinged with anger.

"It's come to this."

“You’re right, when it comes to cheating, it’s either zero times or countless times. I don’t want to look at him anymore, I’m tired.” Ding Xiaojie looked out the window; she was a woman who had lost faith in men.

"Since you've made up your mind, don't suffer any losses. Take everything you can." Qin Xiaoyu was no pushover either.

"Don't worry, I can do that. He'll have to pay the price. But I have to wait until Xiaoru's wedding is over before we talk about it. We can't let it affect her."

Although no one said anything, the wife still noticed and called Qin Xiaoyu over the next morning.

“I had a dream last night that your aunt could walk again and was carrying her dowry. Could something have happened to her?”

"The old lady is gone," Qin Xiaoyu said softly.

"Alas, it turns out it was all her fault for being wicked. Now I see, I haven't raised my son well either. It's not just her fault." The wife took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

"It's Sunday today, and everyone's here. How about we go to the new house for a bit?" Commander Zhou noticed that his wife wasn't in a good mood and suggested.

“Great! The grass has grown and the flowers are blooming over there. Let’s go play.” Zhou Xing’s mother said.

"You should go and take a look. Hanhan's grandfather built a big flower bed, and the flowers are being taken care of very well." Hanhan's grandmother went to the morning market, bought some things, and brought them over directly.

In her words, the things at the morning market are cheap and fresh, and only those who don't know how to manage their money go to grocery stores.

Qin Xiaoyu tried to persuade her several times, but she wouldn't listen, so she simply gave her a few dozen yuan to buy whatever she wanted. Grandma Hanhan was a frugal person; even if she had money, she wouldn't spend it. Her family always had fresh vegetables, which saved them a lot on living expenses.

Today she brought some freshly harvested tomatoes, washed them, and put them on the table. Whoever grabbed one would take it, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.

"Grandma, these persimmons are tastier than apples," the little girl said, smacking her lips as she ate more.

"Grandma will buy it again tomorrow!" Grandma Hanhan's eyes were practically closed with laughter.

The family filled two cars to the brim. The house is almost finished, and the rest is interior decoration. They will definitely be able to move in by the end of the year.

The construction site had cables strung up, and Qin Xiaoyu was worried that the elderly and children might get hurt, so she cordoned them off to the fountain in front. There was a pavilion there, originally built for enjoying the scenery and cooling off.

Grandpa Hanhan has recently retired and is so bored that he comes to the construction site every day to collect broken bricks and tiles. He has paved two walkways and used pebbles to create patterns.

Tang Hu was on summer vacation, but his house burned down and he had nowhere to live. He wasn't well-liked at his maternal grandparents' house, so he decided to come out and do odd jobs with his grandfather. Surprisingly, he actually had some artistic talent; the mosaics he created were abstract yet grand, with an international flair.

Because construction was still underway in front of the house, and anything being built could easily be stepped on, Hanhan's grandfather only built a large flower bed in front of the fountain.

Winters are long in the north, and the flowering season is short, so he planted many root plants, such as canna lilies and dahlias. As soon as the weather got cool, he would move them indoors and wrap their roots. When spring came, he would take one out and wait to see it bloom.

The flowerbeds are now blooming with vibrant red canna lilies, and next to them are mottled creeping lilies. My little sister likes them, but she only looks at them, not daring to touch them. Tang Hu, being a bit of a busybody, went up and broke off a branch, which angered Grandpa Hanhan so much that he slapped him twice.

"Let's have a barbecue." Qin Xiaoyu was in a good mood, and seeing that there were many people, her cousin-in-law had originally said she would bring lunch over, but having barbecue would be easier.

“Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten this. Is it alright for Madam’s teeth?” Zhou Xing’s mother replied.

"My teeth aren't very strong, so I'll eat soft food. I'm happy to see you guys eat it."

At this point, Qin Xiaoyu could only sigh, "Phone, phone, please appear soon! It's so inconvenient without a phone. Otherwise, one phone call would have summoned Qi Si. Now I have to drive myself to get things done."

Upon hearing that there was food, Qi Si arrived immediately, bringing Xiao Si's wife and child with him.

There were no outsiders present, and Zhou Xing's mother was aware of the situation. The lady couldn't help but hold Xiao Zichen and look at him carefully several times. Thinking of Tang Wenwen, who was working hard outside, she couldn't help but sigh.

While Qin Xiaoyu and Qi Si were busy preparing the stove, Commander Zhou and Hanhan's grandfather took several children to the riverbank, saying they were going to fish.

"There's no fish? Not even shrimp," Grandma Hanhan said angrily as she washed the vegetables.

"Little Fish, don't put any chili on it, I need to breastfeed my baby." Little Sister-in-law said this with a face full of pride, her chest practically reaching for the sky.

Qi Si looked at her chest and smiled indulgently; this was his son's granary.

Grandpa Hanhan is quite capable; he actually brought back a few whitebait, a local specialty. They have fine white scales and long, flat bodies, and they taste best when grilled.

Grandma Hanhan took over and started tidying up. Grandpa Hanhan washed his hands, looked at the two chubby boys, and, being older, couldn't resist the babies, so he played with them a bit.

Now that the two children have grown up a bit, their features are not as similar as when they were little. He had heard they were twins, and he seriously compared them and even laughed.

"These two little guys don't look alike."

Commander Zhou, also unaware of the situation, came over to take a look and nodded seriously, saying, "They don't quite look alike. The smaller one looks like the mother, and the larger one looks like..."

He glanced back at Qi Si, then swallowed his words; this didn't resemble anyone else.

Qin Xiaoyu was careful when she made the purchases, buying ten catties of beef, including some for Captain Chen's people.

After my cousin's wife arranged for people to be on duty, I came over with my cousin. The meal had already started. Except for my wife, who had a small stool, everyone else found something to sit on and sat down, three or four people around a stove.

The two nannies comforted the child while Xiao Si's wife and her mother ate heartily.
