Jing Zhe was stunned by what he saw.
My second sister was a civil official, while my fifth sister was a military officer. In terms of verbal sparring, my fifth sister was clearly inferior, and she lost after only one round.
However, he didn't dare to just stand by and watch his two older sisters argue, so he served them food while trying to calm them down, saying, "Sisters, stop talking and eat, eat your food!"
But the two older sisters didn't listen at all.
Liu Jinghong lost the argument to Zhu Xinning over whose house it was, and was seething with anger. When she heard Jing Zhe tell them to eat, she immediately pouted and said, "There was just the right amount of food, but unfortunately someone is here, so there isn't enough!"
"It's okay, I have a small appetite, I can't eat much."
"Even if I can't eat much, it's still not enough!"
"Then you can eat a little less."
"Ha—why should I eat less? This is my house, I can eat as much as I want!"
Liu Jinghong put down her chopsticks, stood up, and looked extremely angry. Zhu Xinning was not to be outdone and looked up at her.
My goodness, it looks exactly the same as when I was a child!
When they were little, Zhu Xinning liked to recite poetry and write calligraphy, while Liu Jinghong liked to play around and fight, so the two of them couldn't stand each other.
Unexpectedly, as they grew up and due to misunderstandings, their relationship became even more hostile, like Mars colliding with Earth, and they argued fiercely as soon as they met!
At this moment, Jing Zhe felt that as a man, it was time for him to demonstrate his abilities!
So he stood up, first pressing Liu Jinghong's shoulder to make her sit down, and then said with a smile, "This Jing family is our family, there's no need to distinguish between your family and mine, that would be too formal!"
To his surprise, his good intentions were met with ingratitude; as soon as he finished speaking, both of them glared at him simultaneously.
"Shut up!"
"..."
"that…"
Jing Zhe was a little scared. "There's a lot of food. We can just let Hanhan eat less. Let's eat quickly, or it'll get cold."
The two women were arguing, which scared Hanhan so much that he didn't dare to eat. When Jing Zhe called on him, he quickly nodded.
Both women snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
Jing Zhe quickly shoveled a mouthful of rice to calm his nerves.
Pop!
After that, the two women quieted down considerably, but it was a hardship for Jing Zhe.
Because they would say something to him every now and then while they were eating.
It wasn't the talking that was the problem; the real issue was that while Liu Jinghong was talking to him, Zhu Xinning was kicking him under the table, and while Zhu Xinning was talking to him, Liu Jinghong was kicking him from below.
In particular, his two older sisters were probably worried about him and didn't dare to use too much force. Although they kicked him, they were weak and boneless, and then they gently tugged at him, which was no different from teasing him.
This feels like having an affair, it's so damn exciting.
After finally finishing his meal, Jing Zhe felt like his legs were about to go numb. Once everyone had gotten up, he stuck his butt out, did a tactical press, and slowly stood up.
They thought the war was over, but little did they know, this was just the beginning of a major conflict…
...
After clearing the table, Aunt Wu took the bowls and chopsticks downstairs to wash them. Hanhan noticed that the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit tense, so he followed Aunt Wu to help.
Zhu Xinning looked at the darkening sky outside and suddenly sighed.
"Oh dear, it's getting late!"
"Second sister, let Zhe'er take you home!"
Jing Zhe volunteered to step forward, wanting to quickly separate the two women to prevent any further unpleasantness from happening.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Xinning turned around and stared at him intently, asking seriously, "Do you really want Second Sister to leave?"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand: "No, Second Sister, I thought you were going back because you said it was too late! It's even better if you're not going back, I'd be overjoyed!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
Jing Zhe put his arm around her shoulder, and Zhu Xinning glanced at Liu Jinghong, seemingly showing off, then tilted her head and rested it on Jing Zhe's shoulder.
"Since Zhe'er doesn't want Second Sister to leave, then Second Sister can stay tonight!"
"..."
Looking at Liu Jinghong's eyes, which seemed to want to devour him, Jing Zhe realized that he might have said something wrong.
"You ate here, and I didn't say anything. What, you're getting cocky now? You want to stay here?"
"You said quite a lot just now."
Zhu Xinning wasn't afraid of her at all. "Besides, since you say this is my home, what's wrong with me wanting to live here?"
Just then, Aunt Wu came out.
"Is Xinning staying here tonight too?"
"Yes, Aunt Wu!"
Zhu Xinning generously said, "I haven't seen Zhe'er for too long, and even after we met, we didn't have a chance to spend much time alone together, so I want to stay here and have more private conversations with Zhe'er."
Not only do I have to stay here, but I also have to spend time alone with Zhe'er?
Liu Jinghong was somewhat angry.
At this moment, Wu Ma was in a bit of a dilemma.
"We didn't have enough bedding last night, so I went out to buy two more today, but..."
Aunt Wu looked at Zhu Xinning, then at the simpleton beside her, and thought to herself that she originally thought buying two sets of bedding would be enough, with one set for each of Jing Zhe and Liu Jinghong and one set left over. But then two more people came, and it seems that there will always be one set of bedding needed!
"I don't need bedding; any empty room will do for the night!"
Hanhan immediately understood the problem and volunteered.
After all, he had experienced terrible conditions back on Mount Mang, so what was the lack of bedding?
"no!"
Liu Jinghong waved her hand: "It's so cold now. If you don't have a blanket at night, you'll freeze to death or get sick. You have to sleep with a blanket!"
Then he glanced at Zhu Xinning and said, "There are some people who clearly have families, but they still insist on coming here to make things difficult for others!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinning hesitated.
Actually, the reason she stayed was mostly because she was angry with Liu Jinghong. Of course, it wasn't bad to actually stay here, since she had such a bad argument with Madam Zhu today and was too lazy to go back.
It would be excellent to stay and talk to Jing Zhe.
But she didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she thought, "If it doesn't work out, then forget it. I can just bring an extra quilt tomorrow."
She was about to speak when she suddenly realized something.
Just now, Aunt Wu said she bought two quilts, one for Jing Zhe and one for Han Han, so last night... including Aunt Wu, there were only two quilts at home.
Aunt Wu definitely had one bed, so there was only one left. But Liu Jinghong and Jing Zhe were two people; they couldn't be…
Upon realizing this possibility, Zhu Xinning was startled and blurted out, "How did you two sleep last night?"
"Of course we sleep together!"
Liu Jinghong stepped forward, looking smug. Seeing Zhu Xinning's somewhat absent-minded expression, she was even happier.
"You can stay here, but if there's not enough bedding, Zhe'er will have to sleep with me tonight!"
Liu Jinghong said proudly.
