Ye Qing had previously agreed with the two children that they would save the candy for the Chinese New Year.
The two children were excitedly waiting for the New Year, but when the New Year actually arrived, they realized what it meant to be one mountain higher than another, and that Sun Wukong could never escape the Buddha's five fingers.
Ye Qing had said that the candy should be saved, as there were three days left during the New Year.
The two children thought that since the New Year holiday lasted three days, they should save all the candy each day and eat two pieces each day. Although the two children had not yet started school and had not learned arithmetic, they did not know how many days it would take to eat so much candy if they ate two pieces each day. However, in their minds, it must have lasted for many, many days.
However, little did they know that Ye Qing meant for them to save two candies each day, so that in three days each of them would only have six candies.
This made Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin feel deceived, and of course they were unwilling to accept it.
However, Ye Qing came prepared, and had already figured out what to do while discussing it with the two children.
What's more, the two children had done something wrong afterward, so Ye Qing remained calm and composed in the face of their dissatisfaction: "When you two went out to play that day, you ran into Aunt Ye Shuang. How many candies did she give you? And when you went out with your great-grandfather, how many candies did he buy for you? I didn't see a single one. According to what we agreed before, you two ate so many candies behind Mom's back, shouldn't there be a punishment? Shouldn't you be punished by not eating candy in the future?"
The two children looked at each other, wanting to cry, but they couldn't find a reason to refute Ye Qing's words.
Because the two of them did indeed eat a lot of candy behind Ye Qing's back.
Ye Qing could obviously see that the two children were about to cry, but she remained businesslike: "Or should we deal with the issue of you two eating candy behind Mom's back first? I remember saying before that if you two secretly ate candy behind Mom's back, you would..."
Hearing Ye Qing say this, the two children were very sensible and interrupted her before she could finish speaking: "Mom, let's save two candies every day. We'll plan how to eat all six candies."
After Ye Yiran finished speaking, she winked at Ye Yixin, and the two of them quickly left hand in hand to play somewhere else.
Xi Quan had been holding Xi Yike and listening nearby, not daring to speak until now, when the two children ran away, he finally dared to say, "You really... do you have to treat two children like this?"
Ye Qing blinked and looked at Xi Quan: "Shouldn't we? The so-called sins of the father are paid by the son. If the two of them make mistakes in the future, I will turn a blind eye and you can take the punishment in their place. Starting today, you will sleep on the sofa."
After speaking, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan with a haughty air.
At this moment, Xi Quan demonstrated his ability to be flexible and adaptable to the fullest extent. He seemed not to recognize the person who had just spoken to Ye Qing. He said, "Children need to be disciplined. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. We can't always let them do whatever they want. There are two parents, and one of them should be afraid of something. Otherwise, things will get out of control."
Looking at Xi Quan, who was speaking righteously, with a half-smile, Ye Qing said, "I'll call the two children over and repeat what you just said to them again."
Although Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing was just teasing him, he was still worried that things might backfire.
So Xi Quan quickly grabbed Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was just teasing Xi Quan, and of course she didn't really want to talk to the child. After Xi Quan pulled her away, she naturally wouldn't call the child anymore, but facing Xi Quan, Ye Qing couldn't help but tease him: "I hope you can be a strict father in the future. Good luck! I believe in you."
Ye Qing seemed to be gloating, but what could Xi Quan do? He could only silently accept it, since she was his wife.
Although the two children learned once again that arguing with their mother is a losing proposition, they also experienced the joy of the Spring Festival.
Actually, whether it's Chinese New Year or not doesn't seem to make a big difference for children, but since both parents are at home during Chinese New Year, it feels a little different from usual. In short, they are happy.
Ye Qing originally planned to go back to work after the New Year, but because she hadn't found a nanny yet, and it was too much for Zhang Sao to take care of the three children by herself, she decided to wait until she found a nanny.
Although she didn't go to work, Xu Xiaoyue came to see Ye Qing on her first day back at work.
While some women gain weight during pregnancy, others lose weight; this varies depending on individual constitution.
However, Xu Xiaoyue is not the type of person who loses weight easily, but even so, she became thinner and thinner during her pregnancy. Ye Qing knew that Xu Xiaoyue had a lot on her mind, and seeing her like this made Ye Qing feel very sad.
"Since you've made up your mind to get a divorce, just get it done sooner rather than later. Don't think about anything else," Ye Qing said to Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue had previously come to Ye Qing and mentioned that they would wait until Liu Yuliang's mother was alright before getting a divorce.
At the time, Ye Qing felt that since Xu Xiaoyue had made a decision, she should let her decide for herself. However, now, seeing Xu Xiaoyue getting thinner and thinner, Ye Qing couldn't help but start advising her to get a divorce.
Xu Xiaoyue knew that Ye Qing cared about her, but although Xu Xiaoyue was a very easygoing person, it was because she had endured things that she shouldn't have had to at such a young age since childhood.
Having taken on the responsibility of supporting her family at a young age, Xu Xiaoyue is the kind of person who thinks things through carefully before making a decision, otherwise she feels very insecure.
Just like now, when Ye Qing advised her to get a divorce as soon as possible, Xu Xiaoyue shook her head: "I heard that Zitai Fashion is going to be launched, right?"
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue ask this question, Ye Qing understood why Xu Xiaoyue shook her head. Ye Qing held Xu Xiaoyue's hand with heartache and said, "Xiaoyue, you don't need to worry about those things. If you want a divorce, just do what you want."
"How could I not think about it?" Xu Xiaoyue chuckled to herself, feeling utterly helpless. "After the divorce, I have to support my child, myself, my grandparents, and my younger brother. All of this requires money. I can't just impulsively get a divorce, especially at this crucial juncture when Zizai Fashion is going public. If I get a divorce at this critical moment, it will inevitably affect Zizai Fashion's stock price. After all, Liu Yuliang is a senior executive at Zizai Fashion. If the stock price is affected and it goes down, what will people think of me? How will I conduct myself in the industry? Even if I stop being an actress, as a model, I can't escape the connection with fashion."
The more Xu Xiaoyue said this, the more Ye Qing felt sorry for her.
Ye Qing knew that Xu Xiaoyue had more to bear than he had. Back then, the two of them worked hard to earn money. He was only concerned about having enough to eat, while Xu Xiaoyue had to take care of her younger brother and grandparents, and now she also had to think about her unborn child.
After a long silence, Ye Qing said, "But dragging this out like this isn't a solution, is it?"
