The figures of Old Man Yu and Wang Guifen disappeared at the entrance of the alley, but the tense atmosphere in the yard did not dissipate immediately.

A few curious neighbors stretched their necks, their eyes glued to the yard, obviously wanting to come over and find out some gossip about the follow-up of the "two million".

Seeing this, Yu Bai simply stepped forward and took the initiative to speak:

"I'm so sorry, uncles and aunts, I have guests at home today, so it's really inconvenient for me to chat more."

"Someday, someday my mother will definitely invite everyone to come home and have a cup of tea."

Having said that, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you would feel embarrassed to stay here.

The neighbors looked at each other awkwardly, thinking that they would find a chance to ask later. They muttered a few words, "Okay then," "Xiaobai, come back often when you have time," and "Let's talk later," and then dispersed in twos and threes.

With a soft "bang", the courtyard door was closed by Yu Nian from the inside, blocking out the view from outside.

However, Zhou Fengxia's tense nerves did not relax.

The blood had drained from her face, her lips were still trembling slightly, and her eyes were staring blankly at the ground.

Yes, Xiaobai did fight back against those two old guys, and it was very satisfying!

Those words were so satisfying and heartbreaking that even she felt relieved and sad!

But...but what day is this?

This is the first time that the future daughter-in-law officially comes to visit!

Just now, in this yard, she and her son were nearly drowned in spit, and were pointed at in the nose and scolded as "unclear-headed", "ungrateful", and "unfilial"!

Such an earth-shattering family scandal happened in front of Song Yan!

Where can she put her old face?

This was simply throwing her family's face, including the face of her future daughter-in-law, to the ground, allowing those two old men and the neighbors who were watching the fun to step on them hard!

The more Zhou Fengxia thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more cowardly and ashamed she felt. Her eyes began to turn red uncontrollably, and a feeling of grievance rushed into her nose.

Just when she was about to lose control of her emotions, a soft hand gently supported her arm.

Song Yan had walked to her side without her knowing, with a perfect apology and a comforting smile on her face.

She has always been a sensitive person and had already noticed the embarrassment and knot in Zhou Fengxia's heart beneath her forced calmness. She said softly:

"Auntie, don't take it to heart."

Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, blowing across Zhou Fengxia's anxious heart.

"Yu Xia had previously told me about the family situation... I knew what was going on, but I really didn't think much of it."

Song Yan tilted her head slightly and explained a little embarrassedly.

"Just now...just now, grandpa and grandma suddenly rushed in and said that. I didn't react for a moment and was a little scared."

Her words not only considerately gave Zhou Fengxia a way out, but also made her own position clear.

She didn't mind, she knew the situation, she was just shocked by the scene, not by the Yu family's "scandal".

Then, she supported Zhou Fengxia and said in a more sincere tone, "Auntie, let's go inside and sit down. What are you standing here for?"

Zhou Fengxia stared blankly at Song Yan's clear and calm eyes. There was no trace of disgust, disdain or reluctance in them, only genuine concern and understanding.

My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell back into my stomach with a thud.

A warm feeling instantly surged through my body. I felt deeply touched to be understood and sympathized by others, but also felt deeply guilty for letting such a good girl see such an embarrassing scene in my family.

She took a deep breath, patted the back of Song Yan's hand hard, and finally forced a sincere smile on her face, although it was still a little forced.

She turned to Yu Bai, who had been silently closing the gate, and said, "Xiao Bai, lock the gate from the inside."

Then, she took Song Yan's hand affectionately, as if the embarrassment just now had never happened: "Come on, Yanyan, come sit inside with Auntie, it's too sunny outside."

Zhou Fengxia's room is not big, but she keeps it extremely clean and tidy, with a fresh scent of soapberry.

She did not lead Song Yan to the main room, but went straight to the old-looking mahogany cabinet at the head of her bed.

She took out a small brass key from her pocket and opened the lock of the cabinet with a "click".

When the cabinet door was opened, there were no clothes hanging inside, but several square boxes of different sizes neatly stacked.

These boxes obviously contain valuables and are Zhou Fengxia's most precious treasures.

Zhou Fengxia carefully took out a square box and placed it solemnly on the bed.

She looked up at Song Yan, her eyes filled with obvious affection and a solemn expectation:

"Yanyan, come, open it and take a look."

As soon as Song Yan saw the shape of the box and Zhou Fengxia's serious expression, she guessed about 70% of the answer in her heart - this must be a gift prepared for her.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she waved her hands helplessly: "Auntie, this... let's open it..."

Zhou Fengxia didn't allow her to refuse and directly pressed the box into her hands. Her smile was much more genuine than before, with a simple, determined enthusiasm:

"Oh, silly child! This was meant for you!"

"It's yours, so of course you have to open it and see if you like it or not!"

The sincerity and recognition in her tone warmed Song Yan's heart.

At this time, Yu Bai also locked the door and followed in. Seeing this scene, he smiled and walked forward to echo:

"That's right, Sister Song Yan! Open it and take a look! Mom has a very good taste!"

The word "sister" was called naturally and intimately, making the blush on Song Yan's face deepen.
