"Also, Zhao Tengfei's voice seems to have become high-pitched. It seems the rumors outside that he became a eunuch are probably true..."

"..."

Yu Mingxiang: ...

After her youngest son finished speaking, she glanced at him and said, "With their family like that, and your sister growing up in such a family, are you happy?"

Qin Xiangdong exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"

The smile on his lips froze on his face.

Qin Weiguo and his wife: "..."

I was hoping to gloat a little, but now I can't even muster the schadenfreude.

Yu Mingxiang glanced at the three of them, shook her head, and went into the inner room.

On the kang (heated brick bed) in the inner room, the little dumpling was sleeping soundly after eating and drinking her fill.

Yu Mingxiang took the contract from his little hand, smiled and tapped his little forehead, "You're such a money-grubber at such a young age, but we can't accept this gift, Tuanzi, be good, give this to Grandma, and Grandma will make you two more later."

After calming her beloved grandson, Yu Mingxiang went back to the outer room and told her daughter-in-law that she wanted to return the contract.

Xue Ru wasn't one to take advantage of others, so naturally she had no objections.

Yu Mingxiang took the contract and went to the front yard.

forecourt.

Gu Guanhai overheard the conversation in the backyard and was leaning against the bed, wallowing in self-pity.

Who told him that women all like houses and money?

The woman donated money in huge sums; she had plenty.

It seems she doesn't lack a house.

Gu Guanhai: "!!!"

The first step in his plan to win back his wife—using money and property—failed.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Guanhai: "Please come in."

Yu Mingxiang walked in, glanced at Gu Guanhai who was obediently resting in bed, felt a little gratified, and handed him the contract, saying, "Your full moon gift is too precious, we really can't accept it."

Gu Guanhai: ...

Knowing the plan would fail, they still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

"Can't you just consider it payment for my medical treatment?"

Yu Mingxiang chuckled, "Most of the medicinal herbs you used to recuperate were obtained for you by the old village chief. As for me helping you recuperate, it was simply to repay a favor I owed you. There's no need for medical expenses."

Gu Guanhai heard this: ...

I was provoked by her words that seemed to distance herself from me.

He looked hurt, staring at the contract, but refused to reach out and take it.

Seeing this, Yu Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the contract into his arms and took a deep breath, saying, "Birds of a feather flock together. Gu Guanhai, since you have a private residence in a place like Qianmen Street, you must not be a criminal."

Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"

A bad feeling suddenly crept into my heart!

Seeing that he remained silent, Yu Mingxiang continued in a low voice, "What I'm about to say might be a bit abrupt..."

"If you're being presumptuous, then don't say it!"

Gu Guanhai interrupted her anxiously before she could finish speaking.

Even though he interrupted so hastily, Yu Mingxiang couldn't help but smile.

The atmosphere she had painstakingly created almost fell apart. She glared at Gu Guanhai and said, "Gu Guanhai, what kind of behavior is this, hiding your face like a coward?"

"I'll be frank and say it straight: I have no plans to remarry."
