Fang Qiao's house and her third aunt's house were not far apart, and they arrived at their destination after exchanging only a few words.

Since Xiao Jing had just had an accident, and Wang Yun wasn't familiar with her, it wasn't appropriate for her to go in with Fang Qiao to avoid being suspected of watching the commotion. So, she went back to the educated youth center first.

Fang Qiao carried the lunchbox into her third aunt's house.

Surprisingly, Jiang Moli was also there.

She stayed in the main room talking with her third aunt, while Xiaoqiang watched over Xiaojing from the inner room to prevent her from attempting suicide again.

Jiang Moli greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you're here!"

Auntie San looked worried as she saw the dumplings and ginger soup Fang Qiao brought her. She looked embarrassed and said, "Qiao Qiao, look at this... I've made you worry again."

Jiang Moli's smile was too dazzling, so Fang Qiao simply ignored it.

She placed one of the plates of dumplings on the square table in the main room and said to her third aunt, "Third aunt, we're family, so let's not talk like that. Xiao Jing has survived this ordeal, she's sure to have good fortune in the future."

"You eat first, I'll take the rest to Xiaoqiang and Xiaojing."

As she spoke, Fang Qiao carried the remaining dumplings into the inner room, giving one plate to Xiao Qiang and placing the other on Xiao Jing's bedside table. She said softly, "Xiao Jing, your sister-in-law made dumplings, with chive and egg filling. Get up and eat some."

Xiao Jing closed her eyes and silently shed tears, without responding.

Jiang Moli followed Fang Qiao into the house. Hearing what she said, she wasn't going to be left behind and jumped in to play the good guy: "Xiao Jing, don't think like that. There's no hurdle in life that can't be overcome. Running away won't solve anything. You have to face things bravely. You're still young..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Jing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had a strong reaction.

She, who was usually very good-tempered, suddenly grabbed the enamel cup from the bedside table while crying and threw it hard at Jiang Moli!

"Shut up!"

"ah--"

The enamel cup fell at Jiang Moli's feet, bounced up suddenly, and smashed against the wall next to her with two loud thuds, making Jiang Moli scream in fright.

"Xiaojing, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?"

Auntie San heard the noise and rushed over: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Moli said aggrievedly, "Third Aunt, I didn't know. I had just entered the house when Xiao Jing suddenly started to throw a tantrum..."

The daughter had just attempted suicide but was rescued. Seeing her daughter's terrified, tearful face, the aunt couldn't bear to scold her.

She chuckled awkwardly and said, "Jasmine, I'm so sorry I scared you. But Xiaojing is in a bad mood today, so please don't be angry with her. I apologize on her behalf."

"Third Aunt, you don't need to apologize to me. I'm fine. How could I really be angry with Xiaojing when she's like this?" Jiang Moli said with a kind smile.

To show her goodwill, she took a few steps forward and approached Xiaojing, saying softly, "Xiaojing, your second sister-in-law knows you're not feeling well today, so don't worry, I won't be angry with you."

She reached out to pull Xiaojing, but Xiaojing suddenly pushed her hand away and hid in Fang Qiao's place to the side.

Xiao Jing hid behind Fang Qiao in fear, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of Fang Qiao's clothes, and pleaded softly, "Sister-in-law, please get her away! Please get her away! I... I don't want to see her right now... Please help me..."

Jiang Moli's expression froze for a moment, then her eyes reddened with grievance, and she said to her third aunt, "Third aunt, I understand that Xiaojing just tried to kill herself, so she's in a bad mood and has a bad temper. She can scold me or throw things at me, it doesn't matter, I won't hold it against her. But I really feel a little wronged that she wants to kick me out for no reason."

"This..." Xiao Jing was indeed in the wrong, and her aunt didn't know what to do.

Fang Qiao's gaze sharpened; she had a gut feeling that something was amiss.

Xiao Jing's unusual behavior at this moment made it hard for Fang Qiao not to think things through.

Did Jiang Moli do something to her? That's why Xiao Jing, who is usually gentle and taciturn, is so afraid of her that she actually begs her to be kicked out!

"Jiang Moli, don't be so upset. Xiaojing isn't the type to throw a tantrum for no reason. You say she wanted to kick you out for no reason, but how could it be for no reason?"

Fang Qiao pointed out incisively, "No one dislikes another person for no reason. You must have done something to her. Otherwise, why didn't she chase away Third Aunt? Why didn't she chase away Xiao Qiang? Why didn't she chase away me? Why did she only chase you away?"

“Sister-in-law, I know you’ve never liked me, but this time you’re really being unreasonable. Third Aunt and Xiaoqiang are her mother and her brother, and you’re usually very close to her. I’m the only one who’s only been married into the family for a few days and I don’t know her at all, so it’s normal that she’s only throwing me out, not you guys, right?”

Jiang Moli remained calm. She sniffed and choked out, "Besides, I haven't said anything since I walked in today, have I? It was Xiaojing who was being willful and throwing a tantrum. I can understand that you didn't want to say anything to her because she had just tried to kill herself, but you can't pin the blame on me, can you? I've only been married for a few days. What could I possibly do to her? Don't keep bringing this up and then blame me for her jumping into the river!"

"No one is blaming you for Xiaojing jumping into the river, so don't try to drag things out."

As they were talking, Fang Qiao noticed that Xiao Jing's body was trembling slightly beside her. She patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "Xiao Jing, don't be afraid. We can talk things out face to face. Tell your sister-in-law why she drove Jiang Moli away. Did she bully you?"

Xiao Jing nodded, choking back tears, as large drops of tears fell down her cheeks.

Jiang Moli immediately raised her voice to retort, "Xiao Jing, don't slander me! When did I bully you? Think carefully before you speak!"

She was self-righteous, certain that Xiao Jing had something on her that she could not possibly reveal.
