He's become more open-minded now; as long as Qin Xiaoyu likes it, he'll accept it whether it's a cat or a dog, and he doesn't dare to argue.

Today, A Lei was able to remain calm under pressure and defuse the crisis, so we can confidently entrust Qin Xiaoyu to him in the future.

Commander Zhou adjourned the meeting, and everyone immediately went about their business.

Captain Chen hadn't left yet, and without Qin Xiaoyu's intervention, his cousin took the initiative to discuss the fence and guard post.

Grandma Hanhan went with Tang Wenwen to pack her things.

Zhou Xing's mother seemed to have been provoked, staring intently at Qi Si, not leaving his side for a moment.

Commander Wang felt deeply sorry for her, so he followed her and gently comforted her.

Qin Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then went upstairs to the second floor.

Xiao Si's wife was in the nursery. Everyone was there, including Fengqin, Xiaoli, and Zhou Yue. Everyone looked uneasy.

"You all go down first, I want to say a few words to Fourth Sister-in-law," Qin Xiaoyu said softly.

Sister-in-law Si was still disheveled. When she heard Qin Xiaoyu say that, she suddenly raised her head and stared at her in horror.

"Fourth Sister-in-law..."

"No one is allowed to take my children away, they are all mine!" Fourth Sister-in-law stood protectively in front of the two cribs.

"No one will take your child away," Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly comforted her. These words were against her will; the truth was too hard to say, but only she could say it. Time was of the essence, and she couldn't delay any longer.

"I know what you're trying to say, I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you!" Fourth Sister-in-law leaned over the crib in terror. Little Zichen wasn't asleep; he was staring wide-eyed. Suddenly, he saw his mother coming closer and giggled.

Xiao Si's tears fell down her cheeks, landing on Xiao Zichen's face. The coolness startled him.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, you saw what happened today. Now the Jing family has their eyes on us, and they'll keep trying to take advantage of Zichen. I'm afraid that things could get even more intense than today. Everything else is fine, but can you imagine what might happen if Fourth Brother really gets impulsive?" Qin Xiaoyu squatted down beside the crib, looking up at her fourth sister-in-law.

"But I can't bear to part with it. You said you'd bring it to me, and you brought it to me, and you said you'd take it away, and you took it away. You're being unreasonable, you're being unreasonable!" Little Fourth Sister-in-law sobbed.

"Yes, it was our fault, we were wrong!"

"What good will it do for you to admit your mistakes? Do you know how I've survived these past ten months? I had to get up four times a night to feed them, whichever of the two boys woke up first, I would just touch one and feed it, never distinguishing which one was my biological child and which one was adopted. I was afraid the nanny's hands would be too cold when she changed diapers, so I would warm my own hands on my body before putting them over her. These are my flesh and blood, how can I bear to part with them..." Fourth Sister-in-law leaned over Xiao Zichen and wailed loudly.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, to be honest, it's better to keep Zichen by Wenwen's side than to let Jingtian take him away. Think about it!"

"I don't want to! You're bullying me! I don't want anything, the child is mine, I gave birth to them, it's written on the household registration!" Sister-in-law Xiao Si started throwing a tantrum.

"Hey girl, let me do it." Qi Si walked in.

"elder brother."

"Go ahead, pack your things, and take the child over in a bit," Qi Si said softly, raising his hand to gently ruffle Qin Xiaoyu's hair.

"You..." Qin Xiaoyu wanted to tell him to talk to Xiao Si's wife properly, but seeing the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her, she felt that she was superfluous.

Qin Xiaoyu closed the door and walked out. Fourth Sister-in-law stared blankly at Fourth Brother, her eyes filled with despair.

This man is a man of his word. He said he would send the child over in a moment, and he meant it, even if it meant stepping over her dead body.

Qi Si walked to the crib and reached out to touch Xiao Zichen's face, but Xiao Si's wife quickly blocked her hand with her hand, then became afraid and withdrew her hand.

"Girl, let's have another daughter. She shouldn't be like me, because she'll be ugly. She should be like you."

Qi Si's voice was very gentle. In Xiao Si's sister-in-law's memory, he had never been like this before. Even when they first got together, in bed, he always had a stern face and never said a kind word.

"Fourth Brother, I can't bear to part with you." Fourth Sister-in-law pouted, about to cry again.

“I’m heartbroken too, but we can’t protect him. If Wenwen takes him away, we can see him whenever we want, a few times a year, right? But if Jingtian snatches him and takes him to America, he’ll never see him again!”

Qi Si saw that Xiao Si's wife was in a daze, as if she had heard him but not heard him. He reached out and gently hugged her to his chest. Xiao Si's wife opened her mouth and burst into tears.

Deng Jianyan called back and said that his fourth sister-in-law had fractured her wrist and needed to have it put in a cast. Her heart rate was also unstable and her blood pressure was high, so she needed to be observed in the hospital.

“You’re all busy, and I’m the only one with nothing to do, so I’ll go.” The older sister-in-law came over and volunteered to go to the hospital to take care of the patient.

Qin Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were many people now, no one was truly idle. Hengchang had just opened, and there was a lot to do; her cousin-in-law couldn't leave.

Zhou Yue was heavily pregnant, Wenming was leaving tomorrow, and Hanhan's grandmother wanted to spend time with her daughter, so the task of taking care of the wife fell to Zhou Xing's mother.

The remaining unmarried girls are all a bit spoiled, and we wouldn't feel comfortable sending them out.

Although Commander Wang was willing to help, they were still relatives, so it wasn't good to let her overwork herself.

Qin Xiaoyu was quite touched that her sister-in-law was so understanding this time. Her decision to move the whole family over was the right one.

During dinner that evening, everyone was somewhat silent. The original plan was for Tang Wenwen to stay at home for three days after her wedding before leaving. Given the current situation, Qin Xiaoyu hoped she would leave as soon as possible.

Qi Si and his wife didn't come over, and Tang Wenwen kept glancing at the door with a melancholy look in her eyes.

How to persuade Xiao Si's wife is a difficult problem.

She is vain, she is materialistic, she has all sorts of little flaws and shortcomings, but she is never lacking in maternal love. She loves both of her children equally and to the core.

Taking Xiao Zichen away now would be like cutting flesh from her body; just thinking about it hurts.

There was a noise at the door, and Qi Si and his wife, Xiao Si's wife, came over with two nannies.

Qin Xiaoyu and Zhou Xing's mother hurriedly got up to greet them.

Sister-in-law Xiao Si's eyes were so swollen she could barely open them, and her face was shiny with oil. She slowly walked up to Tang Wenwen.

Tang Wenwen hurriedly stood up, and Xiao Sisao handed Xiao Zichen over.

"Take good care of him. If he gets too thin, I'll hold you accountable." Before she could finish her sentence, tears were already streaming down her face.

When Tang Wenwen took the child, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I will not let you down," Tang Wenwen managed to say.

"This child's sleep schedule is a bit reversed. He wakes up around 10 pm to play for a while. Just leave him alone, and he'll fall back asleep on his own eventually. He's a restless sleeper, so you need to keep an eye on his blanket. Make sure it doesn't get too hot on his stomach or chest, as boys tend to get overheated..."

Before Xiao Si could finish speaking, Qi Si put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her to the table, and made her sit down.

"Eat! You haven't eaten much all day, and you've just recovered from your cold. Here, this is your favorite." Qi Si carefully picked up an eggplant fritter and fed it to Xiao Si's wife.

Qi Si pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, peeling crabs for her.

Zhou Xing's mother held Xiao Zhengxin in her arms, looked at them, and smiled with satisfaction.
