"Qiaoyue?" Liu Xinlan came in from outside, leading a teenage girl.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at the girl Liu Xinlan was holding hands with.
"Lanlan?" Shen Qiaoyue recognized the girl at a glance; she hadn't seen her for almost two years.
"Sister-in-law Qiaoyue." Ren Jianxin had two pigtails and looked fair and tender.
"I should call you Xin Xin now. How have you been?" Shen Qiaoyue asked excitedly, pulling Ren Jianxin along, and couldn't help but look her up and down.
Ren Jianxin has grown up a bit, blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
“I’m doing very well. I ran into Sister Xinlan in the city a few days ago, and I told her I wanted to come and see you. Today is the weekend, so I came over.” Ren Jianxin said happily to Shen Qiaoyue, and when she looked at the children, she said, “I heard that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, sister-in-law!”
"Come in and sit down." Shen Qiaoyue pulled Ren Jianxin into the living room to sit down.
Ren Jianxin walked in, squatted down, took Da Nian's hand, looked at Da Nian, and said, "Sister-in-law, is this the older brother or the younger brother?"
“This is my older brother, his name is Danian, and Xiaonian is…” Shen Qiaoyue looked around.
“Qianli has been taken out and is playing up front! Jiansheng is playing with Sister Juanjuan up front, keeping Grandma Zhao company,” Liu Xinlan added.
“Brother Xu does seem to like Xiao Nian quite a bit.” Jiang Jinyao couldn’t help but complain about Xu Qianli. “An Lude said that Xu Qianli previously said he liked his son, thinking that his son was capable, unlike girls who are always crying and difficult to coax. He always saw Xu Qianli holding Xiao Nian the most.”
"He does want to hug Da Nian, but Da Nian dislikes him!" Liu Xinlan couldn't help but complain. "Xu Qianli recently said that he likes his son more, which is not a good idea at all."
“Brother Xu is just stubborn, otherwise he wouldn’t have made you wait all these years!” Shen Qiaoyue poured Ren Jianxin a glass of warm water while complaining about Xu Qianli, “He’s so hesitant. He clearly likes you, but he won’t say it. He says he likes you and doesn’t want to hold you back, but he clearly wants to marry you.”
Thinking about how those two people were back then, I just can't bear to look at them anymore.
Liu Xinlan didn't refute it; it was her fault for not responding to matters of the heart.
“Brother Xu Qianli often brings food to Sister Xinlan, but she always has a cold face. Brother Xu Qianli must think that Sister Xinlan doesn’t like him.” Ren Jianxin could tell.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Ren Jianxin and said, "Jianxin, you seem to know quite a bit about matters between men and women?"
“I can tell!” Ren Jianxin said, “There’s a classmate of mine who was once a child bride in another family. As a result, that family was forced to go to the countryside to live, and now their fate is unknown. My classmate was sent to an orphanage. Every day at school, she says that she really likes her brother, but she can’t contact him anymore!”
Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao exchanged a glance.
"Jian Xin, do your parents know you've come to the family compound?" Shen Qiaoyue changed the subject and asked Ren Jian Xin.
"Yes, I know," Ren Jianxin nodded in response.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Ren Jianxin and thought she had completely transformed.
"Jian Xin, your biological parents haven't come looking for you, have they?" Shen Qiaoyue said. "I originally wanted to visit you, but I didn't have the time. Later, Xinlan said you moved with your parents. Tell me, how are you doing at your new parents' house?"
Ren Jianxin said happily, "My parents are very good to me. They said that since I came to this family, it has become much more lively. My parents are very loving and they are also very good to me."
Ren Jianxin knew that the things Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan had said to her back then were all to help her escape the Lin family.
These are things that are best left unsaid.
"Sister Qiaoyue, thank you. You and Sister Xinlan always bring us food when my family is going through the most difficult times." Ren Jianxin came to express her sincere gratitude this time. "The few months when my father went to the cadre school were the most difficult time for my family. It was you and Brother Lu who brought us money. My family and I are very grateful to you."
Shen Qiaoyue didn't help at all; instead, she felt even more guilty.
Reaching out to touch Ren Jianxin's face, she said with emotion, "If you hadn't said those words back then, Zhang Cuihua wouldn't have hit you. Jianxin, your sister-in-law should thank you. I haven't been seeing you these days because I'm afraid of being investigated. Too much contact could easily affect your family's life."
Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan deliberately guided Old Madam Lin in the hope that Ren Jianxin would escape that tormented family.
However, if Commander Lin realizes this and starts investigating, it would be easy to leave clues. The best option is to avoid meeting or contacting him.
Ren Jianxin nodded, looking at Shen Qiaoyue with gratitude.
Shen Qiaoyue said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can send me a telegram or make a phone call. Your sister Lin Yaya's crime is very minor, and she will be released from prison in a year and a half. You should be careful, lest she come after you later."
Ren Jianxin smiled and said, "Sister Qiaoyue, it's alright. My dad is a martial arts expert, he won't be bullied."
"Okay, when we go back later, let's take some eggs with us. These are eggs from our own hens, and they're fresh. Eggs are hard to find these days."
Ren Jianxin came to our house for dinner and stayed in the family compound for a few hours. Ren Jianxin's mother met her at the entrance of the family compound, and Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan saw Ren Jianxin off as she left the family compound.
Seeing how well Ren Jianxin is doing now, Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but sigh, "This girl has changed so much. Am I getting old?"
"Nonsense! You're still young, I'm the one who's really old!" Liu Xinlan touched her belly, overjoyed.
Shen Qiaoyue stared at Liu Xinlan's belly.
