Seeing her cousin's reaction, Qin Li knew that her family was superfluous. They had already said what needed to be said, and if her cousin remained obstinate, there was nothing more they could do.
You can't force a cow to drink water; if you force your cousin to, she won't be grateful, she'll just hate them.
"Dad, Mom, it's getting late, let's go back first," Qin Li said. "My cousin is so smart, Aunt will definitely persuade her. With so many of us around, it will make her uncomfortable."
Qin Dachuan thought about it. After all, this was a matter for the Wang family, and they were relatives. It wouldn't be good to say too much, even if it was well-intentioned. He shouldn't interfere too much.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's head back now," Qin Dachuan said. "We'll come back if anything comes up."
Qin Li's mother, Wang Mei, wanted to say more, but seeing her husband and daughter staring at her, signaling her to stop, she sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, please try to persuade Xiao Bing."
Qin Li and her family of four left the Wang family's house in silence and returned home.
“Lili, you and Xiaobing are in the same school. Keep a close eye on your cousin and make sure she doesn’t do anything immoral.” Wang Mei finally couldn’t hold back anymore when she got home.
Qin Li pointed to the redness and swelling on her face and said sadly, "Mom, did you see that? This is what my cousin hit me for when I was trying to talk things out today. She saw my classmate's family playing by Xuanwu Lake, and after I said a few words of advice, she hit me like a madwoman. Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say, and I won't interfere anymore."
Qin Dachuan frowned and said, "Alright, Lili was only trying to help Xiaobing, but what did she do? Not only did she not listen to advice, but she even hit Lili. From now on, don't go around trying to find someone. Tell me, how many have you tried to find in the past two or three years? Even your niece didn't like them. Because of this, we've offended a lot of people and ended up in a bad situation."
“We’re all family…” Wang Mei was short of breath. She was also very dissatisfied with this niece, but she was the only niece in her family. If she didn’t care about her, who else could she rely on?
"Alright, from now on we'll just stay relatives and visit each other," Qin Dachuan said. "Don't meddle..."
After saying that, he went into the study.
Qin Kai's mind was never on these trivial matters; he was always thinking about taking a woman out for a stroll the next day.
Qin Li was exhausted both physically and mentally today and didn't want to talk to her mother about these things anymore. After washing up, she went back to her room to rest.
Only Wang Mei remained where she was, secretly worried!
Meanwhile, by Xuanwu Lake, He Tiantian saw Wang Bing slap Qin Li from afar and was quite surprised. Aren't they cousins? Why was she angry with him?
Cui Ying, with her sharp ears and keen eyesight, whispered, "Tian Tian, Wang Bing's gaze this way is strange. Be careful and don't get too close to that woman."
Even though Cui Ying didn't hear what Qin Li and Wang Bing were saying, she could vaguely sense Wang Bing's malice, so she reminded He Tiantian.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "I don't know that person, so I'll just ignore him from a distance."
"It's good that you know what's going on." Cui Ying stopped there. She wasn't the type to talk behind people's backs, so it was already quite remarkable that she could say such a thing to He Tiantian.
If a couple has conflicts because of another woman, it's primarily because their relationship has already been damaged. If there's no problem, no other woman can interfere.
He Tiantian comforted her like this.
However, He Tiantian had also heard a saying in later generations: "As long as you wield the hoe well, no city wall is too high to be dug down."
If the third party is shrewd or patient, they might be able to create division and sabotage from the outside.
Sigh, the two of them went through several years of hardship before they could be together and have the life they have now.
However, once you're together, life isn't all set and smooth sailing. There will always be people or things that make the future full of thorns, and different crossroads may appear on the road of life.
Moving forward together steadfastly requires joint efforts and perseverance.
In the morning, everyone spent a very pleasant weekend morning by Xuanwu Lake.
Huo Yingjie was carrying a full fish basket, which contained more than ten, nearly twenty pounds of fish!
When they got home, Grandma Wang took care of the children, He Tiantian cooked, Huo Yingjie cleaned two fish, and the rest were kept in a large basin. When it was time to eat, they would catch, kill, and eat them on the spot.
"We won't need to buy fish anymore. If we want to eat fish, we can just go fishing over there," Jiang Lifang said with a smile, enjoying the West Lake Vinegar Fish made by He Tiantian.
Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "The fish in Xuanwu Lake haven't been caught in nets for many years, so we don't know how many fish are left. Today I saw that not only were we fishing, but there were other people too. Perhaps soon, the number of fish in the lake will drastically decrease."
“If it’s just fishing, then it’s fine. The lake is so big, we won’t fish it all out,” Jiang Lifang said. “I’m just worried that someone might poison it or use electricity to fish.”
"Hehe, it seems we need to study how to manage Xuanwu Lake, after all, it is the largest freshwater lake in Nanshi," Huo Zhekun said. "If it is damaged, it will affect the daily lives of the people."
Huo Yingjie wasn't worried at all. Not all the fish in Xuanwu Lake were so unlucky as to be driven to the shore by the little turtles and hooked.
Many people go fishing, but in a whole morning they only catch one or two fish, so fishing doesn't have a significant impact on Xuanwu Lake.
It can be prevented if the father instructs his subordinates to pay more attention.
That evening, after a night of passion, He Tiantian nestled in Huo Yingjie's arms, her fingers restlessly tracing circles on his chest, her expression both affectionate and hesitant.
"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian's small hand and asked softly.
He Tiantian was tired today, and Huo Yingjie didn't want to be teased in a state of limbo, unable to release his emotions, so he could only stop her from letting her mischievous little hands run wild.
He Tiantian slightly raised her head, looked at Huo Yingjie, and said softly, "I've discovered that you're a femme fatale!"
"A femme fatale?" Huo Yingjie couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. "Isn't that a description of women? A beautiful woman is a source of trouble!"
After Huo Yingjie finished speaking, he gently bit He Tiantian's nose.
What did this young woman see that made her say such a thing?
“If there are beautiful women who bring misfortune, there are also handsome men who bring misfortune,” He Tiantian insisted. “You are an absolute handsome man who brings misfortune; wherever you go, women will be attracted to you.”
"Huh?" Huo Yingjie was taken aback, then chuckled, "Are you sure you haven't misunderstood?"
"There's no misunderstanding!" He Tiantian said playfully. "I know. There used to be Zhou Yuanyuan, and now that you're in college, there are other people. Maybe there are other people who like you without my knowledge."
