The dean, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, eating his own meat and drinking his own wine, completely ignoring the fact that Miao Huahua was being abused.
Miao Huahua was so frightened that she buried her head in her food and didn't dare to talk back. In this family, she had no chance to speak at all.
After dinner, Miao Huahua washed the dishes and cleaned up, helped the silly man take a bath, and coaxed him to sleep.
After everyone else had rested, she boiled some hot water for herself and washed up.
She patted her belly, wondering why she just couldn't have a child.
While Miao Huahua was taking a shower, she sensed someone outside. Startled, she turned around and seemed to see a figure running past. Terrified, she dared not continue showering. She hastily washed herself and came out of the makeshift shower room. Looking back at the unsafe shower room, she thought to herself that she should go to the public bathhouse in the future, where her sisters-in-law all showered.
The bathhouse was full of people; no one should be peeping at her while she was bathing.
Miao Huahua washed all the family's clothes before going back to sleep. When she entered the house, she happened to see her father-in-law coming out. She immediately hunched over, lowered her head, went back to her room, closed the door, and lay down next to the silly man, watching him eat and sleep.
What if someone like him has a child who is mentally challenged?
Thinking of this, Miao Huahua shuddered and decided she didn't want to have a baby.
I don't want to have children at all!

After Ruan Yunxi and Gu Weizhou had eaten and drunk their fill, they went for a stroll, walked along the beach, sat on the rocks, and looked at the bright moon over the sea.
The moon was very round on the fifteenth of the lunar month. Ruan Yunxi took out a mooncake, took a small bite, and stuffed it into Gu Weizhou's hands: "It's all yours."
Gu Weizhou: "......."
What should I do if my wife loves me too much?
I ate too many mooncakes.
She herself couldn't bear to eat it, it's not that she doesn't like five-nut mooncakes!
Gu Weizhou held his wife close as they munched on a hard, five-nut mooncake, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
Sister-in-law Sheng and her family also came out for a stroll. When they saw Ruan Yunxi and Gu Weizhou huddled together admiring the moon, Xiao Yingtao's eyes lit up and she was about to join in the fun when Sister-in-law Sheng quickly covered her mouth and took her daughter away, saying, "Don't bother your aunt and uncle. You can play with your aunt tomorrow."
Little Cherry didn't understand: "Why?"
Commander Sheng smiled and said, "Today is a day for family reunion. We should all be together. They are a family, and we are a family."
Little Cherry said sadly, "I want to drink with my aunt's family."
Commander Sheng: "Was this daughter raised by the Gu family?"
Sister-in-law Sheng was both amused and exasperated. Knowing that Little Cherry liked her aunt, she coaxed, "Today you're with our family, tomorrow you'll be with your aunt's family, how about that?"
The almost three-year-old Cherry, who is very easy to coax, smiled and nodded: "Yay! Tomorrow I can be a family with Auntie!"
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people stopped going beachcombing in the residential compound and instead rushed to the mountains to pick hazelnuts. There were many wild hazelnuts on a hill behind the compound, and now was the perfect time to harvest them. The women went up the mountain in groups to pick hazelnuts.
Sister-in-law Sheng is going.
Ruan Yunxi also went to join in the fun.
I also saw Miao Huahua.
Miao Huahua was good at picking things. She went to the mountains early and picked a lot of hazelnuts. Seeing that Ruan Yunxi had been there for more than an hour and had only just picked up a handful of hazelnuts, she poured half of her hazelnuts into Ruan Yunxi's hands.
Ruan Yunxi: "...I don't need that many."
Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't come along, Miao Huahua said, "Could you please help me put these away? My mother-in-law doesn't allow me to keep them for myself. When I get hungry, I'll go to your house to get some hazelnuts. I'll give half to you and keep the other half for myself, okay?"
Ruan Yunxi raised an eyebrow, not expecting that she would think of hiding food for herself.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Miao Huahua thought that Ruan Yunxi was unwilling, so she said, "It's okay if you don't help, sister-in-law. You can have them all. Keep them for yourself. Hazelnuts are delicious!"
Ruan Yunxi stopped Miao Huahua, who was about to leave, and said, "I can help you hide it. You can come find me if you need to."
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Yunxi said, "It's not just hazelnuts, there are other things too. Anything you need to hide that you don't want your mother-in-law to find out, you can hide in that little haystack behind my house. I know you usually hide there."
Miao Huahua said a little shyly, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you're a good person!"
Ruan Yunxi, who had been given the "friend zone" card, smiled, which was taken as tacit acceptance.
