Lin Xiaoying looked down at the five pills in her hand, pursed her lips, and finally put the five pills into her pocket without saying a word.

Just then, there were several knocks on the door outside.

"Come in." Lin Qingqing responded towards the door.

The next second after she responded, the two brothers Xiao Wen and Xiao Leng walked in from outside.

"Sister-in-law, who is this?"

When Xiao Leng came in, he was stunned to see a strange girl in the room.

Lin Qingqing smiled and introduced them to each other, "Her name is Lin Xiaoying."

"Xiaoying, this is my uncle, Xiao Leng."

"Hello, you can just call me Xiao Leng, but how did you get injured? Why is it so serious?" Xiao Leng greeted with a smile on his face.

Lin Xiaoying nodded at him indifferently without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Leng's face flashed with embarrassment. He had no choice but to touch the back of his head and obediently retreat to stand next to his elder brother.

"Sister Qingqing, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." After saying this, she immediately turned around and ran out.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the Xiao family.

"I hope her unscrupulous parents will stop beating her, otherwise, someone will die." Lin Qingqing looked at her disappearing back and sighed quietly.

Soon, she looked at her brother-in-law Xiao Leng who came over.

"Xiao Leng, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I have something to talk to you about. There is an exercise I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me?" After saying this, his face turned red.

Seeing his shy look, Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. The exercises are here. We'll explain them now."

"It's in my room. I'll get it."

He didn't expect his sister-in-law to agree so quickly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Why go through so much trouble? I'll go with you. I've already finished my work here." Lin Qingqing immediately followed.

The three of them left the utility room.

When the three of them passed through the yard, they ran into Xiao Qing, who was probably waiting for them there.

Xiao Qing, who had been standing in the yard for a while, saw the three of them come out and his eyes immediately lit up.

When they were about to pass by him as if he were nothing, he immediately said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Wen had no choice but to stop and said to his wife beside him, "Qingqing, you go in first, I'll go in to find you later."

Lin Qingqing nodded, and before leaving, she still didn't give Xiao Qing an extra glance.

Xiao Qing was having a lot of troubles at this time, and his heart felt as bitter as if he had eaten bitter herbs.

"Brother, I really know I was wrong. Can you and sister-in-law forgive me?" He begged for forgiveness with a face that looked uglier than crying.

Xiao Wen looked at his confused second brother and sighed helplessly, "Second brother, you should be more careful in the future. You are not a child anymore. Don't act like a child. Just because someone smiles at you, you think they are a good person."

Xiao Qing nodded as he listened, "I know, I'll remember it."

Just like a good little kid.

"Don't think that just nodding will do. Use your brain to think. Also, I've only ever been with your sister-in-law in this life, and I'm not planning on finding another one for you, so don't even think about trying to change women for me. If you're thinking about that, you might as well just chase the girl you like."

After hearing this, Xiao Qing blushed and said shyly, "Brother, just say it. Why are you bringing up the girl I like? I don't have one."

"You know whether you have done that or not. Anyway, I still say the same thing. I will only listen to your sister-in-law in this life. If you make her angry again, don't blame us for not even being brothers."

Xiao Qing's face turned pale, and he moved his lips twice, but in the end he still couldn't say a word.

Xiao Wen reached out and patted his shoulder, telling him with a silent gesture to take care of himself.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Qingqing was about to call Xiao Wen to go for a night walk when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, can I say a few words to you? Just a few words!" Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he deliberately added the last sentence.

Lin Qingqing glanced at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Let's talk in the yard."

When Xiao Qing heard this, a look of joy flashed across his face. He sighed quickly and followed her to the yard.

At night, the yard is filled with the chirping of crickets, and the occasional breeze adds a unique flavor to the atmosphere.

Lin Qingqing felt the quiet night atmosphere, then turned her head and said, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Just as she finished speaking, a loud slap suddenly rang out clearly in the quiet night.

Lin Qingqing frowned and looked at Xiao Qing who had slapped herself, "Xiao Qing, what are you doing?"

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. What I did before was wrong. I shouldn't have wanted to separate you and my elder brother just because I didn't like you. I'm not a human being. I deserve to be beaten." As he said that, he slapped her on the left cheek again.

The force was so strong that even Lin Qingqing, who was standing next to him, felt pain for him.

"Okay, stop using your self-torture tactics on me. They're a bit outdated for me. I won't be soft-hearted."

Xiao Qing smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, whether you believe me or not, I sincerely admit my mistake to you. Also, after spending some time with you, I already like you being my sister-in-law. If it were someone else, I really wouldn't want to be my sister-in-law."

I have to say, this guy's words really touched her a little.

"Sister-in-law, I know you don't believe me now, but I will definitely show you. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be on your side. You are my biological mother, and I will definitely be filial to you. I..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more awkward, Lin Qingqing quickly stopped him and said, "Shut up, what's that? I'm your biological mother. I'm not that old. And what about being filial to me? I don't need you to be filial to me. I'm very young now. Maybe you'll be older than me in the future."

This guy, can't he just apologize properly? Why does he say it so awkwardly?

Xiao Qing's face lit up with joy. He finally heard that his sister-in-law was not speaking to him coldly.

Only now did he realize how much he missed the tone his sister-in-law used when speaking to him.

"Okay, I was wrong, don't be angry, sister-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to ask a little nervously, "Sister-in-law, are you still angry with me now?"

Lin Qingqing glanced at him sideways and pretended to speak, "I'm angry, of course I'm still angry, but considering your sincere apology, I'll give you a chance to make amends. If you can do it, I'll forgive you."
