Zhou Jing'an thought for a moment, then said to Ning Huan, "As long as we're not divorced, I should go see my parents-in-law. This has nothing to do with what we agreed on. It's just a matter of basic human ethics."
Hearing this, Ning Huan smiled, but inwardly she cursed, "No wonder she's a major villain; her words are so venomous. She almost made me vomit blood. So she's implying that Ning Huan doesn't understand basic ethics and morality!"
If the hidden daggers in her eyes could kill, Zhou Jing'an would have been stabbed to death a thousand times over. But this man was untouchable, which only fueled Ning Huan's anger.
At this moment, Zhou Jing'an was unaware of Ning Huan's inner monologue, and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that when you weren't home a few days ago, Mother took very good care of me, and I felt bad about it. That's why I thought of going home with you to visit her."
Hearing this, Ning Huan calmed down a bit.
It turned out that it was because of Pang that Zhou Jing'an wanted to go back with her.
In normal families, after a marriage, the son-in-law will always accompany his daughter to visit her parents' home on the day of her return visit.
Zhou Jing'an and Ning Huan have been married for so long, yet he has never returned to the Ning family even once. Who knows how much gossip must have been circulating? Since the original owner of this body rarely went home, she naturally had no idea how others were pointing fingers at her parents and the Ning family.
Thinking of this, Ning Huan recalled Pang Shi's smiling face, as if she could hold up the sky even if it collapsed, and said to Ning Huan, "It's okay, Mom is here!"
Looking at the twenty taels of silver in his hand, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
Ning Huan said, "I'll go back to give the money to my mother in a few days. I'll be back the same day. You've only just recovered a little. Once you can get out of bed, we'll pick a good day to go together."
Seeing that Ning Huan had agreed, Zhou Jing'an nodded: "Okay."
That evening, when Ning Huan told them she was going back to her parents' home, the four little ones were overjoyed and exclaimed, "Great! Mom's going to Grandma's house, we want to go with her!"
The little boy is most curious about the outside world, so he was the happiest: "Mom, can you take me to visit Grandma's house? I want to go too, I miss Grandma!"
Little Erbao chimed in, "Mommy, I miss Grandma too! Take me with you! I promise I won't cause any trouble!"
Little Sibao chimed in, "Mommy, take me with you! I want to see Grandma too, and I want to play with Uncle!"
Although Da Bao also wanted to go, he could only lower his head and remain silent when he saw that his foot injury had not yet healed.
Ning Huan shook her head and said, "I'll go back by myself in a couple of days after Mom finishes her work. I'll go and come back the same day. With you little ones with me, we'll have plenty of room!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Erbao, Xiao Sanbao, and Xiao Sibao all lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Is it because Mom is afraid they'll cause trouble that she won't take them to Grandma's house? Does that mean they'll never see Grandma and Uncle again?
Seeing the little ones who were just excited become dejected because of her words, Ning Huan instantly felt like a sinner.
She quickly comforted them, "We're not taking you this time. How about we all go back to your maternal grandparents' house after your father recovers in a few days?"
As soon as Ning Huan finished speaking, the four little ones cheered happily, "Great! We can go anywhere with Daddy and Mommy!"
Da Bao, standing to the side, still hung his head dejectedly. He didn't know if his foot would be healed by then. If he couldn't walk, he might have to stay home alone.
Ning Huan probably sensed that Da Bao wasn't in a good mood. She noticed that he kept looking at his feet, and she knew what the little dumpling was thinking.
So he said to him, "Don't worry, Da Bao, I'll change your dressing every day. It'll be better soon. In a few more days, you'll be as lively and energetic as Xiao Er Bao and Xiao San Bao."
Hearing this, Da Bao was overjoyed. He looked at Ning Huan and asked, "Mother, is what you're saying true?"
Ning Huan nodded: "Of course, when has Mother ever lied to you?"
Now even the sullen Da Bao cheered up and laughed happily along with Xiao Er Bao, Xiao San Bao, and Xiao Si Bao.
Seeing the four little ones so happy, Zhou Jing'an was also very pleased.
It seems like it's been a long time since we've heard such laughter and joy in the house. Before, the house would always be filled with Ning Huan's shouts and curses, either at the four little ones or at the women in the village.
Since Ning Huan's body was taken over by another person, the four little ones' injuries have not increased, and their laughter has become more frequent.
Zhou Jing'an suddenly thought that if he continued living like this, he wouldn't necessarily be unable to accept it.
That night, Ning Huan lay in bed, the room so empty she could hear the echo of her voice. She thought back to when the four little ones and Madam Pang had lived in the room; even though she slept on the floor, it was lively and bustling.
Ning Huan recalled how lonely she was when she first came to this world. Now she has family like the Pang family and four little ones.
Many people in the village began to change their views on her, no longer looking at her with disdain or even speaking ill of her as before.
If the future can get better and better, then there is something to look forward to.
When no one is around, it's the perfect time to soak in the spiritual spring water in the consciousness space. Ning Huan has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and the skin in some areas of her body is gradually becoming loose because it can't keep up with the speed at which she loses weight.
After staying in the spring water for a while, my skin gradually regained some elasticity.
Furthermore, the red spots and acne scars on Ning Huan's face became noticeably whiter and cleaner after washing her face with the spiritual spring water.
Looking at the changes in herself, Ning Huan counted the days, estimating that in a while, she might be completely different from before.
Besides working every day, Ning Huan felt she should practice and pick up the self-defense skills she had learned in the modern world again. Although she didn't know what she would experience in the future, having more skills to protect herself would definitely be a good thing.
So she decided to exercise for an hour every day after coming down from the mountain.
After emerging from the spiritual spring, Ning Huan picked some lychees and peaches for the four little ones. Seeing how much they enjoyed them last time, she picked a few more peaches this time.
By the time they emerged from the consciousness space, it was already late at night.
The next morning, Ning Huan didn't go up the mountain. Instead, she made herself a wooden dummy that she could use when practicing self-defense techniques.
The four little ones woke up and saw a wooden figure standing next to their yard, which looked like a wooden man from a distance.
The little boy looked at it curiously and asked, "Mommy, what is this you made? Why does this piece of wood look like a person?"
