Several years have passed since Xiaojing left, and the place has changed a lot. Moreover, all the furniture in the house is newly made, and it looks quite nice and much prettier than before.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh that Cao Dawu's quality of life had improved a lot since he became rich. This house was rare even in the city, and the renovation must have cost a lot of money.

If she had stayed with Cao Dawu these past few years, she might have become a wealthy woman and lived a comfortable life.

But how could she not think that it was because she left that Cao Dawu was motivated to work hard? Perhaps this is just a cycle of cause and effect.

"It's been several years. What brings you here now?" Cao Dawu's words interrupted Xiaojing's reverie. It seemed that Cao Dawu was still angry with Xiaojing.

Xiaojing turned around and began to sob, "I know I was wrong back then. I haven't been doing well these past few years either. It's not that my life has been bad, but I've always felt uneasy. Every night, I think about what happened between you and me. I know I'm sorry for what I did, and I'm only coming to find you now. I've wanted to come back to you more than once, but I've always been too ashamed and didn't know how to face you. This time when I came to find you, everyone thought I was here for the money. Is that what you think of me too?"

After saying that, Xiao Jing covered her face, squatted down and sobbed. To an outsider, her acting skills were comparable to an Oscar.

Cao Dawu had never seen Xiaojing cry like this before. He instinctively bent down to pull her up, but Xiaojing shook off his hand and said sadly, "I don't care what others think of me, but even you think of me like this. I don't want to live anymore." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaojing stood up and banged her head against the wall.

Cao Dawu quickly grabbed Xiaojing's arm, but Xiaojing's thin arms and legs couldn't break free. Cao Dawu used too much force and pulled too hard on Xiaojing, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground together. Xiaojing crawled onto Cao Dawu's chest and didn't get up, continuing to cry.

This put Cao Dawu in a very awkward position. He couldn't stand up, and he didn't dare to speak loudly to disturb his parents who were feeding the pigs in the backyard. Anyone who saw this scene would misunderstand, so he could only lower his voice and say, "Isn't that right?"

"Da Wu, it really wasn't. I was forced by my family back then. They were doing it for my brother. My mother even threatened to kill herself... I can't be unfilial! They gave birth to me and raised me. I can't just watch my mother die of anger in front of me!" Xiao Jing cried loudly, clinging to Cao Da Wu.

"Sigh, Xiaojing, don't overthink it, don't be sad, stop crying, get up quickly." Cao Dawu said as he gently pushed Xiaojing away from his arms.

When Xiao Jing heard Cao Dawu say this, she thought he had forgiven her, so she stopped acting.

She wiped away her tears, her face beaming with joy, and helped Cao Dawu up before sitting down on the sofa.

Cao Dawu had just sat down when he heard a loud banging on the door. Cao Dawu was already having a headache over his current situation, and when he heard the knocking, he was afraid it was a neighbor coming over, so he didn't dare to speak and hoped that the person outside would think no one was home and leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, the knocking continued, followed by Cao Yujiao's shout, "Brother, it's me, Li Wengang and I are back."

Upon hearing that his sister had arrived, Cao Dawu immediately stopped worrying about looking bad and quickly leaned on his cane to go outside and open the door.

Cao Dawu opened the door and saw Cao Yujiao and Li Wengang standing there. Cao Yujiao was carrying a lot of things, and Li Wengang was holding the child.

"Oh dear, you said you were coming back, so why did you bring so much stuff? Don't be so polite, just put it in the yard. Yu Jiao, why are you so late? Have you eaten? Are you tired? Let's go inside and rest." Cao Dawu said with concern.

“Bringing a child home is really tiring. Wengang, hurry up and take the child upstairs. The child is asleep, so cover him with a small blanket.” Cao Yujiao hurriedly told Li Wengang to go back to his room as soon as she entered the gate.

"Okay, you two siblings chat first, I'll come downstairs as soon as I'm ready." Li Wengang was also concerned about the children, so he picked them up and hurried upstairs.

"Brother, why do you look like that? You look so frightened. Didn't you know we were coming back?" Cao Yujiao teased Cao Dawu, noticing his strange expression.

Cao Dawu moved his lips but couldn't say anything, he just sighed, "You'll know when you go inside."

Cao Yujiao curiously helped him into the inner room. When she looked up at the person inside, she was immediately stunned, and then a surge of anger rose in her heart.

When Xiaojing saw them enter the house, she wiped her face and stopped crying. Upon seeing her sister-in-law, she was now unsure whether to stand or sit.

"Brother, how can you let someone like that into the house? Doesn't he care about making our home dirty?" Cao Yujiao was displeased, and her face darkened.

"What's she doing here? Bro, have you forgotten what she did? Now that she knows you're rich, she's back to freeload?"

Seeing his sister's displeasure, Cao Dawu panicked. "Sister, don't say that. Xiaojing told me that she has had a hard time these past few years. Since she knows she has repented, we should be forgiving."

Upon hearing Cao Dawu's words, Cao Yujiao immediately lost interest in listening to him.

Cao Dawu reached out and pulled Cao Yujiao back, afraid that she would act too impulsively.

Xiao Jing overheard the gist of the story and knew that Cao Yujiao was very unhappy about her arrival.

Upon seeing the furious Cao Yujiao, Xiaojing first smiled apologetically and said, "Yujiao, you're back."

Under Chen Niannian's tutelage, Cao Yujiao is no longer the same as before. In the past, she would probably have answered her politely, but now Cao Yujiao is eager to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Cao Yujiao looked at Xiaojing and said impatiently, "You still have the nerve to come here?"

Xiao Jing rubbed her hands awkwardly and forced a smile, saying, "I haven't seen your brother for so long, so I came to visit him today."

Cao Yujiao wasn't buying Xiaojing's act. She glared at Xiaojing and said angrily, "You've forgotten what you did? Can't I say it again to remind you? You know it's been several years. Were you dead before? Or were you being held captive and prevented from coming here?"

Seeing this, Xiaojing's smile faded. "Sister-in-law, I was immature back then, and I've thought about it a lot since then. Now I don't ask for anything else, I just want to live a good life with your brother. I know you won't like what I'm saying, but for the sake of all the years we've been together, let's just let bygones be bygones."

Cao Yujiao wouldn't listen to a word. With her hands on her hips, she impatiently interrupted Xiaojing, "Alright, alright, you're back to live for money, aren't you? Let me make this clear, you're not getting a single penny. What's your skin made of? How can you be so shameless?"
