Chapter 15: Going from one's own uncle to the side of gossip.



Hehe... You two, don't look at me, guess for yourselves.

He Qiuniang was both amused and exasperated.

Look at her, she can't explain it either.

This kind of thing can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

Her little girl is so well-behaved, even God seems to protect her.

"Big brother, second brother, didn't you go to a neighboring country to do business?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

He Qiuniang awkwardly changed the subject.

He Jiahe: "The business in the neighboring country has been almost settled."

"Upon hearing that you would remarry and become a secondary wife, we rushed back without stopping."

"Your second brother and I have also figured it out."

“Over the years, my father and I have been traveling around, and it’s time to choose a place to settle down and make it our center of development.”

"Big brother, second brother, you wouldn't..." He Qiu Niang suddenly had a bad feeling.

They probably don't want to settle down in Beijing.

Before He Qiuniang could think further, He Jiahe and He Jiaxing nodded in surprise.

You guessed right.

He Jiahe said, "We plan to settle down in Beijing."

"I won't run around anymore, and I can take care of you, little sister."

He Qiuniang's eyes immediately reddened, her face filled with emotion.

"I feel unworthy of such care, Qiu Niang."

"If I hadn't been so blinded by love and misjudged people back then..."

"My elder brother, my second brother, my sister-in-law, and my father wouldn't have worried about me for so many years."

"Qiu Niang is not worthy."

“Qiu Niang, what are you saying? We’re all family, we should help each other.”

The eldest sister-in-law, Huang Suxin, spoke gently.

She was quite unhappy before she came.

Because they had come here many times before.

But every time He Qiuniang met them, she would sneak around and send them away after saying only a few words.

That's truly heartbreaking.

They wouldn't have come to visit if they hadn't heard that Shi Mianzhi had remarried.

Second sister-in-law Tian Lihe also chimed in, "If you have any difficulties, just tell us."

"Although merchants are considered lowly, we still have our own strengths."

"At worst, we'll just quit being the wife of an official."

"Big brother, second brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law..." He Qiuniang's eyes reddened with emotion, and her voice choked with sobs.

It turns out that even when her loved one lost herself, she still had so many relatives worrying about her.

Oh, okay, okay.

Both my eldest and second maternal uncles are coming to the capital; it's going to be very lively there.

[Yu Yu likes it.]

Alright, they've all introduced themselves.

Now the He family and the others didn't need to guess anymore; they all knew who the voice in their minds came from.

[Gua66, get up and get to work!]

[Check if my eldest uncle, second uncle, eldest aunt, and second aunt have any melons on them.]

Let's find something new to eat.

Upon hearing this, He Qiuniang tensed up instantly.

No way, no way.

Her well-behaved little daughter is just eating melon seeds without any regard for who she's with.

Noticing He Qiuniang's unusual behavior, all four of them turned their gazes to her face.

What does "eating melons" mean?

He Qiuniang: You'll be crying soon.

Gua66: [Yuyu, I'm here, don't rush me.]

I'll quickly search for some gossip for you.

【Oh, I've got it!】

You got it so quickly?

He Qiuniang's heart skipped a beat.

Is it absolutely necessary to eat this melon?

Don't look back and hurt your family's feelings.

Upon hearing that there was some gossip, Shi Yu instantly became excited.

She waved her little hand urging, "Tell me quickly, tell me!"

I've eaten all the melons from the Shi family's garden; I'm just waiting for these fresh ones to keep me going.

[My dear uncles, aunts, and maternal uncles, you've come at just the right time!]

You guys practically saved Yu Yu's life.

Shi Yu's babyish voice was extremely exaggerated.

He Qiuniang lowered her head silently, not daring to look up at the expressions of her two older brothers and sisters-in-law.

They're so moved now, they'll probably want to punch someone later.

Gua66: [Yuyu, your second uncle's back isn't good.]

What? You have a bad back?

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to He Wanxing's face.

He Wanxing felt embarrassed and even blushed under the gazes of everyone.

"..."

Shi Yu, [Why is your back bothering you?]

Gua66: [Last night, we didn't deliver enough grain, so we couldn't meet the demand and I was punished by having to squat in the corner.]

Shi Yu: [Hahahaha... So my second uncle isn't good at it after all, hahahaha...]

"..." He Qiuniang couldn't bring herself to ask the question she wanted to.

He Wanxing blushed completely.

Tian Lihe lowered her head and secretly pinched her man hard.

Shi Yu laughed for a while before the maniacal laughter gradually subsided.

A man's back problems are a real issue.

It seems my second uncle needs to see a doctor and get some nourishing food.

He Wanxing: You don't need to tell me. I'll secretly check later and make sure they deliver enough grain.

Melon 66, [Yuyu, here's another melon from your aunt's family.]

Shi Yu, [Your aunt's melons must be delicious, tell me quickly!]

Huang Suxin nervously gripped her handkerchief.

After listening for so long, she finally realized that this gossip wasn't good news.

She's so scared, what should she do?

Gua66: [Yuyu, your aunt can't have a son.]

She wants to promote her personal maid to be your maternal uncle's concubine.

[It's all been arranged with the maid; once things are settled in the capital, she'll drug your uncle.]
