He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief that Qi Zhenghan didn't appear in front of her; it was good that she didn't have to be in an awkward situation.
Without the awkwardness, He Tiantian's life is even more perfect.
However, Qi Zhenghan was her grandmother's biological grandson, someone she could never avoid for the rest of her life, which confused He Tiantian. But she was naturally optimistic, and since everything was alright for the time being, she didn't think about it too much.
He Tiantian had just arrived home when she heard Huang Jingli's voice.
He Tiantian quickened her pace and asked, "Sister Jingli, when are you going back to the city? Where's the child?"
"I came over a few days ago. I finally got the house sorted out before I came to see you," Huang Jingli explained. "It's windy today, so I'll bring you over another day."
"No need, I'm free tomorrow afternoon, I can come see you then," He Tiantian said. "I should have come to see you anyway, and seeing how well you've recovered makes me feel relieved. By the way, how's your internship going? Have you gone to see Teacher Chen yet?"
Huang Jingli smiled and said, "I'm going. I'll report to Nanshi Daily the day after tomorrow. Then I'll have to work hard."
"Yes, that's great, it's a job you like," He Tiantian said. "You've finally gotten what you wanted."
"Yes," Huang Jingli said. "By the way, has Lin Xiaoru come to cause you any trouble lately?"
He Tiantian shook her head and said, "No, Lin Xiaoru didn't come to cause me any trouble. What happened? Did she come to cause you trouble?"
“Not yet,” Huang Jingli said. “Yesterday, a neighbor told me that a woman has been loitering around my yard. I’m guessing that person is Lin Xiaoru. I’ve finally given birth. If I see Lin Xiaoru and she’s still acting like that, I’ll beat her up.”
He Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Anyway, she's not as strong as you, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
After talking for a while, Huang Jingli left without having dinner, as she had a baby at home who needed to be breastfed.
The following afternoon, He Tiantian went to the shop to get some pastries and two old hens to visit Huang Jingli and her child.
This child is chubby with fair skin and looks somewhat like Huang Jingli. He should be quite good-looking when he grows up. If he looks like Wu Youliang, then we should be quite worried.
With a grandson, Wu's mother was completely content.
"The child is so energetic," He Tiantian said. "That's wonderful!"
“Yes, he looks exactly like his father when he was a child,” Wu’s mother said proudly, not at all finding her words funny.
He Tiantian thought about Wu Youliang's appearance. If he was this cute when he was a child, then it can only be said that he grew up to be ugly.
He Tiantian took out a silver longevity lock from her pocket and said, "This is a gift for the child. I hope the child will live a long and prosperous life."
"Oh dear, this is far too precious," said Wu's mother. "How could we possibly accept such a generous gift?"
He Tiantian smiled and said, "It's not expensive. It's just a gift for a child, and it's a token of my appreciation. Jingli and I are not only classmates and friends, but our families are also business partners now. If you don't accept it, you're being too polite to me."
Seeing He Tiantian say this, Huang Jingli smiled and said, "Mom, just take it. This is for the child. We'll work hard in the future and repay Tiantian properly."
Mother Wu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll accept it. We'll give a decent gift when it's Tian Tian's child's birthday in the future."
Just as He Tiantian was talking to Wu's mother, a commotion broke out outside.
Huang Jingli went to open the door, but was startled by the person outside. Just as she was about to close the door, it was pushed open.
"Jingli, we came to visit you together. You can't just kick us out, can you?" a girl said sharply, her eyes scanning the yard.
Huang Jingli took two steps back and said irritably, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't go in."
"Jingli, your sister is being unreasonable, so don't take it to heart." Huang's mother looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look Huang Jingli in the eye. But she couldn't make ends meet at home, so she had no choice but to come to her daughter for help, hoping that her daughter could help her younger sister.
Huang Jingli retorted sarcastically, "You're so petty? I dote on her so much, and I'm so filial to you, but what have you done in return?"
“Jingli, your sister is just being immature. Please take her in, considering I raised you,” said Huang’s mother. She and her youngest daughter would come first and live in Huang Jingli’s courtyard. Later, her husband would come, and the house would be left to their son; they wouldn’t go back.
When He Tiantian came out, she saw Huang Jingli confronting a mother and daughter. After hearing their conversation, she guessed who they were.
He Tiantian quickly entered the house and said, "Aunt Wu, Jingli's adoptive mother and sister have come over. I'll watch your child for you. You should quickly see why they came over, so that Jingli won't feel embarrassed and suffer a loss?"
Upon hearing this, Wu's mother's face flashed with disgust. She put the child on the bed and said, "Sweetie, can you watch the child for me? I'm going out to check."
“Okay!” He Tiantian agreed. These were Huang Jingli’s family members, so it was best to let Huang Jingli’s family handle it. It was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to interfere.
He Tiantian listened intently to what they were saying!
"Jingli, who are all these people?" Wu's mother asked with a smile. "Relatives from our hometown?"
When Huang's mother saw Wu's mother, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Oh, so you're in-laws! I'm Jingli's mother!"
With a forced smile, Wu's mother withdrew her hand and said, "That's not right. I heard from my son that Jingli's biological parents have passed away and she grew up at her aunt's house. But then I heard that her aunt wanted to take Jingli's place so that her own daughter could go to school! I wonder if it's true or not!"
Wu's mother's words were like several slaps to Huang's mother's face.
“Auntie, don’t listen to what people are saying. When did I ever steal my sister’s university place?” Huang Jingtao said indignantly. “If I had taken her place, I would be the one in university now, not her.”
Wu's mother smiled and said, "Hehe, just by looking at your appearance, I can tell you're not destined to go to university! I'm Huang Jingli's mother-in-law. Jingli, you go inside and look after the children. I'm entertaining some relatives."
Huang Jingli looked at her mother-in-law with concern, worried that her mother-in-law had been deceived by them.
Without looking at Huang Jingli, Wu's mother asked, "Aunt Jingli, what's the matter? Please tell me quickly."
"I want to talk to Jingli." Huang's mother looked embarrassed. She was embarrassed to ask her adopted daughter for money, but she was embarrassed to ask her adopted daughter's mother-in-law for money!
Upon hearing this, Huang Jingli went inside without turning her head.
“Jingli has to take care of her child and doesn’t have time. If Aunt Jingli has something to say, I can say the same thing to her. We’re all relatives.” Mother Wu said with a smile. As long as you define Huang Jingli’s adoptive mother as your aunt, then she is a relatively distant relative, and some things can be clarified.
"Auntie, my sister married into your family, she's not a slave! Don't we even have the right to speak to her?" Huang Jingtao said indignantly. "Sister, sister, come out here!" (To be continued.
