"You know? My teacher even talked to me and asked if I was dating someone?"
Oh, Fifth Sister, you mean, does the teacher know if Zhang Jianyu might have ordered someone to do it?
I don't know, I didn't say, and I have no evidence.
It was my classmates who gradually spread the word that I was writing letters with several female classmates, implying that I was definitely in a relationship, which is why the teacher came to me.
Then, I showed those letters to the teacher exactly as they were.
Only then did I clarify that I hadn't seen any of their emails, nor had I replied to any of them.
"If Zhang Jianyu causes you trouble again next semester, how will you handle it?" Chen Xihua didn't rush to say anything, but instead asked him a hypothetical question.
"Huh? That can't be! I've never spoken to Su Wanying in class before."
Let him pursue Su Wanying if he wants! What's it to me?
If he really goes too far, I will report him to the teacher, or ask him directly what he wants.
Chen Baohua was truly puzzled. All he did was accidentally bump into the person he liked.
However, he sensed his fifth sister's worry and then firmly added that he would not be bullied by anyone.
"What are Su Wanying's attitudes toward you and Zhang Jianyu in class?" Chen Xihua decided to be as clear as possible, since Xiao Liu might not have figured it out yet.
"They just ignore me! What other attitude can they have?"
"No, that's not right. She ignored Zhang Jianyu, and as for me, neither of us spoke a word," Chen Baohua recalled.
But on several occasions, he felt that someone was secretly watching him, but each time he looked up to look for the person, he found nothing unusual.
Chen Xihua noticed that Chen Baohua had a slightly surprised expression.
He thought to himself, "Could it be that Su Wanying likes Xiao Liu?"
If that's the case, Zhang Jianyu will definitely keep causing trouble for Xiao Liu.
Even if Xiao Liu avoids the problem, it won't solve anything.
However, Xiao Liu is growing up and will soon be going to university, where he will have to interact with society.
Let him figure out a way to deal with it on his own first.
She trusted Mayor Zhang and believed he wouldn't allow his son to misbehave at school.
"Alright then, but Xiao Liu, you have to promise that you won't be wronged or hurt."
If you encounter any problems at school that you can't resolve, please call me immediately.
Chen Baohua nodded and replied, "Yes, I know. Actually, I'm not afraid of him, even if he is Mayor Zhang's son."
My fifth sister once said, "Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either."
A few minutes later, Chen Xihua and her brother returned to the second floor of the family quarters.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
In the dining room, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were already waiting for the meal to be served.
Chen Lao Er laughed heartily and said, "Xiao Wu is back!"
"Fifth Sister, is your third sister hiring a nanny? How much does she get paid per month?"
As soon as Chen Xihua entered the room, Li Yumei couldn't wait to ask.
"1200 yuan a month."
"What? One thousand two hundred? That's so expensive!"
"What? I gave birth to six of you, and your third daughter would rather hire someone else than respect her old mother?"
Li Yumei's voice suddenly became somewhat shrill.
"Mom, I was just thinking you should make and sell pastries, right?"
"If you're willing to help, that would be wonderful. We'd feel much more at ease if you went to Yun City to take care of Third Sister yourself, and it would save us the money we'd spend on a nanny!" Chen Xihua said, sounding very pleased.
"No? What do you mean by saving money? I..." Li Yumei suddenly didn't know how to respond.
"You woman, as her mother, you're taking care of Sanya during her postpartum period and your granddaughter. Do you think Sanya would mistreat you?"
"Go if you want, stay home and sell pastries if you don't want to." Chen Lao Er wasn't worried at all that his daughter wouldn't give him money, after all, they were his parents.
He recently got his driver's license and has already tried driving around the county in his car, which he finds quite enjoyable.
"I'll think about it first," Li Yumei said awkwardly. What if Sanya just didn't have much money?
After all, San Yatou has been without a job for almost a year.
If Fifth Sister agrees, it would be more appropriate to pay her to go.
"Whatever you want," Chen Xihua said indifferently.
Chen Baohua advised helplessly, "Mother, Third Sister has definitely already hired a nanny. If you go, the nanny might slack off."
Besides, your niece is so young, she might disturb you at night and you won't be able to get a proper rest.
You stay home and bake pastries to sell. If you get tired, make fewer to make it easier.
“Yes, then I won’t go.” Li Yumei thought about it and realized that only Xiaobao would truly care about her.
Chen Xihua smiled and glanced at Chen Xiaoliu. It seemed he had realized that she didn't want her mother to go to Yun City to take care of her third sister.
Li Yumei really went, and the four of them—her third sister, Niu Dasao, and Niu Dana—would basically have a small argument every day and a big argument every three days.
She absolutely couldn't stand seeing the people she hired, even with just a quarter of an hour of free time, constantly ordering those two around.

At 6:30 p.m., in Cuishan Garden, Yun City, Chen Chunhua had just returned from Meihua's place, and Zheng Dao was cooking in the kitchen.
"Honey, you must be tired after a long day. Sit down for a bit, dinner will be ready soon. There's a spare rib stewing."
"Okay." Chen Chunhua felt a surge of warmth and gratitude in her heart. At home, her father never cooked.
After dinner, Zheng Dao took Chen Chunhua's hand and they went for a walk outside to digest their food.
While we were at it, we also went to Chen Meihua's house next door to see Yuanyuan.
The two didn't get home until after 8 o'clock.
"Honey, go take a shower first. I heated up the bathwater before I left."
Chen Chunhua nodded subconsciously, then walked back to her room somewhat awkwardly to get her clothes and take a shower.
She wasn't stupid; her face flushed involuntarily at the man staring intently at her.
When Zheng Dao finished showering and returned to the room, he saw Chen Chunhua sitting on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat lost.
Upon seeing the man enter, and noticing the even greater fervor in his eyes, Chen Chunhua's body involuntarily tensed slightly.
Zheng Dao approached her, first slowly taking her hands, then gently embracing her. Chen Chunhua nervously said, "Turn off the lights."
"Okay!" came the deep, hoarse voice; the wife was blushing.
Soon, rapid breathing could be heard from inside the room.
"Comrade Zheng..." came the shy voice.
"Wife, what do you want to call me?"
"Zheng...Dao?" Chen Chunhua's voice sounded somewhat uncertain.
"Mmm, good girl."
Soon, just as the two were entering the crucial moment, Chen Chunhua cried out in pain, "Be gentle."
Then, she instinctively grabbed the man's arms tightly.
Zheng Dao hissed, barely managing to suppress a sound.
But Chen Chunhua still noticed, and she asked cautiously, "Did I hurt you?"
"No, no," Zheng Dao gently comforted her, then endured the pain and continued with the next action.
Although my wife only learned self-defense techniques, she is quite strong.
The harder he pulled, the harder his wife gripped his shoulders, the very spot where his sister-in-law had brutally beaten him that morning.
It's a bittersweet experience.
At the same time, Zheng Dao once again added Chen Xiaowu and Chen Jinhua to his list of people he was not to be trifled with.
However, the outcome was good; his wife was finally his.
It was late at night. Afterwards, Zheng Dao gently held his wife, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and after a quick wash, they returned to their room.
He kissed her affectionately from above her head and soon drifted off to sleep.

Beijing Lu Family
"Seventh Brother, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, could you go to the military hospital for me and ask Old Man Xia for some medicine? I went for a check-up today and forgot to get it."
After dinner, Grandpa Lu looked at his youngest son who had returned home, his eyes lighting up as he spoke.
Lu Zhengjing flew back to Beijing and arrived home in the afternoon.
"Okay, Father, how are you feeling?" Lu Zhengjing asked anxiously as soon as his father mentioned a medical check-up.
Unbeknownst to them, their father was subtly hinting at something.
"It's nothing, just an old problem."
Remember, it's 10 a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late. Old Man Xia might be busy at other times.
Grandpa Lu was very clear about his physical condition and still remembered to remind and advise him.
"Father, are you really alright?" Old Master Lu Zhengde asked anxiously.
He usually helps his father get medicine from the hospital, so why did his seventh brother go this time?
Is the situation not good, and you don't want him to know?
Lu Zhengde, who was 47 or 48 years old, was born prematurely and had a weak heart, so he couldn't withstand too much stimulation.
He couldn't help but wonder if his father's health condition was too serious, and he was afraid to let him know so as not to worry him.
"Boss, don't overthink it. What could possibly happen to me?"
"Seventh Brother is going to the military hospital on the way, and you yourself are busy with work." Old Master Lu glared at his eldest son and then winked.
"That's good." Although Lu Zhengde didn't quite understand what his father meant, he could sense that his father's health was probably fine.
At this moment, Lu Zhengjing guessed that his father must have had other purposes in sending him to the military hospital, but he pretended not to notice.
His father told him to go to the military hospital to get the medicine, probably so that he could have another check-up at the Beijing Military Region General Hospital.
Although Father didn't know what mission he was on, his sixth sister must have told him about his injury and the fact that he had been given anesthetic and sedatives.
