After getting off the bus, Mu Jingsheng looked tired, but his eyes shone with a determined light.
Bathed in warm light, the courtyard exuded a rare tranquility.
The lights inside the house were brighter than those in the courtyard. Mu Jingsheng sat down in a traditional Chinese chair, took a bowl of slightly steaming hot water from Qin Xiang'e, and said a soft thank you.
The hot water warmed his and Ye Xia's bodies after a long day of running around in the cold.
He finished the bowl of hot water in one gulp, letting out a comfortable sigh. His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but more so a sense of determination and relief.
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng stood side by side in front of him, both with a hint of anticipation on their faces.
Mu Jingsheng gently put down the enamel bowl, looked at the young couple in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his eyes.
He knew they were waiting for news that was of paramount importance to them.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Xiaoyun, Dad has some good news to tell you."
His voice, though not loud, was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng exchanged a glance, both able to see the emotions in each other's eyes. She said calmly, "Please tell me what you mean. I can accept whatever the outcome is."
"I have already spoken to the county head about the matter of my student status and job being taken by someone else."
At this point, Mu Jingsheng paused, seemingly trying to add weight to his words.
Then he continued, "The county magistrate has made it clear that he will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and give you justice."
justice?
Ye Yun curled her lips into a bitter smile, her tone slightly cold: "Is this fair? Just considering Liu Xiaoyun's background, even you, Father, would give her some leeway, wouldn't you?"
"What are you saying?"
Mu Jingsheng was unhappy.
He was clearly very dissatisfied with Ye Yun's prejudice against him and protested. He put on a serious face, took a deep breath and said, "Dad admits that I have failed in my duties in the past. Liu Xiaoyun's father is indeed no less than Dad, but you should know that when it comes to being a father, I will not lose to anyone else."
Ye Yun: "..."
Hearing this, a faint warmth welled up in my otherwise cold heart.
She thought the matter would just end there, but she never expected Mu Jingsheng to say those words for her.
Suddenly, her hands were enveloped in warmth. Ye Xia keenly sensed her daughter's emotions. Her warm hands enveloped Ye Yun's hands, and she looked at her tenderly, softly comforting her, "My little girl..."
Ye Yun's eyes were slightly moist.
Having finally found a safe haven to rely on, and able to vent her grievances, she looked at Ye Xia, who was showing her concern, and nodded forcefully, holding back her tears.
Qin Zheng also felt a strange sense of emotion.
At this point, it's no longer just about Ye Yun's student status and job being taken over.
It is the father-daughter relationship between Mu Jingsheng and Ye Yun.
After the incident, Mu Jingsheng barely stopped for a moment and began to work tirelessly on the matter.
His actions were like springtime melting away the icy coldness between Ye Yun and him.
Of course, Ye Yun's student status is also very important.
He knew how much Ye Yun had suffered because of this incident, and now that Mu Jingsheng had gotten justice for her, he was both happy for her and admired Mu Jingsheng's efforts.
Seeing Ye Yun's reaction, Mu Jingsheng felt a sense of relief.
He knew this matter was of great significance to Ye Yun, and he was glad that he hadn't arrived too late and could still do something for his daughter.
He sighed softly and said earnestly, "Xiaoyun, sometimes you shouldn't be too stubborn. You need to know that one person's strength is limited. Sometimes, we also need to learn to rely on others, such as your husband and parents. We will always be your strongest support."
Ye Yun pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Yes, honey, Dad is right. You still have us."
Qin Zheng stepped forward, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Wife, don't work too hard. No matter what happens, I will be by your side to support you and protect you."
Ye Yun: "..."
She has always believed that one should be self-reliant and able to face all difficulties and setbacks on one's own.
But now she realizes that she still has so many people she needs to rely on and depend on.
Holding her mother's warm hands, she looked at Mu Jingsheng and Qin Zheng, a subtle gratitude in her eyes.
Ye Yun nodded vigorously.
At that moment, she felt a surge of strength within her. She knew she was no longer alone; she had a loving husband and doting parents who would always be by her side forever.
...
late at night.
The moonlight shone like water into the Qin family's courtyard. Ye Yun got up to go to the outhouse, but she vaguely saw two sneaky figures flash by in the yard.
A sense of unease suddenly welled up within her.
"Coal briquettes?"
She shouted.
However, Coal Ball, who was usually full of energy, was now lying limply in the doghouse, motionless, seemingly dead.
A sense of surprise and doubt immediately filled her heart.
Looking around, apart from the two figures and the soft coal ball that he had caught a glimpse of at the beginning, he found nothing else unusual.
She shook her head, realizing she might be too nervous.
No, coal wouldn't be this quiet.
Just then, a slight noise came from the direction of the outhouse. Her heart tightened, and she grabbed a wooden stick from the side of the house and carefully felt her way over to find out what was going on.
