Just then, a sound came from outside the door, and it was Qian Hong and Yu Yuehui's voices. Xie Yan was so frightened that he immediately wanted to hide the book, but he felt unsafe no matter where he hid it!
In their panic, Xie Yan forgot that they even had a private space.
I tripped over the corner of the table and suddenly remembered the storage space, so I quickly put it inside.
She rushed to open the door and saw Yu Yuehui and Qian Hong looking surprised.
Seeing Qian Hong's suspicious look, Xie Yan knew he was in trouble and quickly explained, "I, um, I was going to change my clothes!"
Qian Hong smiled and nodded, but in her heart she began to suspect that Xie Yan was definitely doing something shady.
His rapid breathing and profuse sweating clearly showed he was in a hurry.
They must have done something shady in the house, that's why they're so anxious when they hear they're back!
She turned and glared at Yu Yuehui. Her silly daughter only knew how to work all day long, and had no idea what her husband did at home.
If I hadn't needed to talk to her today and the two of us hadn't come back halfway through, I would never have known that Xie Yan dared to have such ulterior motives!
He entered the house with a cold face and started looking around!
Xie Yan: "..."
His heart was pounding. He licked his lips, trying to appear calm, and pulled Yu Yuehui behind him, asking quietly, "Why are you back so early?"
Yu Yuehui smiled wryly and said, "We'll talk about it later!"
Xie Yan nodded and followed him into the house.
As soon as Qian Hong entered the house, she began to subtly survey the room, wandering around and casually glancing at any place where someone could hide. Once or twice was fine, but after a while, Yu Yuehui noticed.
Her mother is clearly looking for someone!
Thinking back on what just happened, there was nothing Yu Yuehui didn't understand!
Her mother must have misunderstood Xie Yan!
She tried to explain by grabbing her mother's hand, but Qian Hong glared at her fiercely, so Yu Yue awkwardly reached out.
She looked at Xie Yan with great embarrassment, and was about to apologize.
Xie Yan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine!
His actions just now were indeed suspicious, so it's normal for his mother-in-law not to believe him!
It's good to get checked out; at least it will put my mind at ease.
Facts speak louder than words.
Qian Hong looked around everywhere she could think of, even checking the kitchen twice, before she finally felt at ease and began to believe Xie Yan's words a little!
But she turned to Xie Yan and said, "Xiao Yan! You young people should go out more. Look how nice the weather is today. Staying indoors all the time is so stuffy!"
"When you go to work in Yuehui, you can't even deliver water or anything. You don't know, when I went there today, everyone else had family members delivering water, but Yuehui didn't get anything!"
Yu Yue replied: No, Mother, I brought water with me!
She had just opened her mouth to speak when Xie Yan stopped her.
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Mother is right, I'll remember that, I'll go and bring water to Yuehui whenever I have time!"
Seeing him say that, Qian Hongcai nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yu Yuehui with a hint of hesitation.
Seeing this, Xie Yan understood immediately and said with a smile, "Mother, I just need to go out and find Gu Bin for something, so I'll be going now!"
Sigh! These two are clearly having a private talk, so he should just stay away!
As soon as Xie Yan left, Qian Hong in the main room grabbed Yu Yuehui's hand and began to pour out her grievances!
"You have no idea, this Liu Lanlan is really going too far. Your father and I are still alive, and she's already eyeing our meager retirement savings!"
"If I hadn't suddenly come back today, I wouldn't have realized that this little slut was harboring malicious intentions!"
"She instigated your brother to swindle money from us!"
Qian Hong grew angrier as she spoke! She slammed her hand on the table and said, "Your brother is a coward too, he didn't say a word!"
"I'm so angry!"
"I've figured it out now, this son was raised in vain."
Yu Yuehui was a little incredulous. She hesitated and said, "Mother, did you hear me wrong? Or did you misunderstand?"
Her sister-in-law isn't that kind of person!
Qian Hong slapped her daughter, "You don't even trust your own mother anymore!"
"You've only been married a short time! It's true what they say, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup! It's only been a short while and you're already siding with outsiders!"
Yu Yue held her mother's hand and said helplessly, "Mother! What are you saying!"
"How am I like spilled water? You didn't have a conflict with Xie Yan, and I didn't mean to shun you; I was just asking about what happened!"
"You can't take all your anger out on me!"
Qian Hong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with great grievance, "Oh! You didn't see what happened!"
"She actually wants to buy a watch! Is that something that ordinary families like ours can afford?"
"I don't know who prompted me to think about buying a watch!"
"You're even taking the money your father and I have for our retirement!"
Yu Yuehui could hardly believe it. Was this really her sister-in-law? She wasn't like this before!
Besides, you can't just buy a watch with money; you need a ticket!
These watch tickets are not easy to get!
Upon hearing the word "ticket," Qian Hong immediately lost her temper! Pointing at her daughter's forehead, she scolded, "You heartless wretch, all you ever do is bury yourself in work!"
"You don't care about anything at home. Do you know that your sister-in-law is already setting her sights on you!"
"She could tell that Xie Yan was capable; if he could get one watch ticket, he could get a second one!"
