Upon receiving news that his parents and sister had gone to the construction site, Ye Beichen hurriedly drove there.
Mingyue was telling her parents about her brother and sister-in-law's great achievements when she saw her brother striding towards them from afar.
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? You seem so happy."
Ye Boxian laughed heartily: "I'm talking about you. You've really grown up now and can stand on your own. Welfare homes and nursing homes are good things that benefit the people, and you did a great job this time."
Ye Beichen was flattered by his father's affirmation. His father had always been very serious with him and rarely praised him.
He smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, this has nothing to do with me, it's Mingyue. She gave me all her savings and asked me to help build a welfare home in your and Mom's names. That's why I thought of building a nursing home next to the welfare home."
Mingyue secretly glanced at her brother. He had sold her out as soon as he arrived. Really, didn't we agree not to say goodbye to our parents about this?
"You silly child..."
Shu Yuqing's eyes were slightly red. The best thing she ever did in her life was bringing Mingyue home, which gave her and Ye Boxian such a wonderful daughter.
She has never caused him much trouble since childhood. Even when doing good deeds, she uses the Ye family's name to make everyone remember her and Ye Boxian's good deeds. Thinking of Jiang Xin's ingratitude, Shu Yuqing has to admit that genetic inheritance is indeed very important.
Whether in her past life or this one, she had never mistreated Jiang Xin, yet Jiang Xin ultimately turned out to be an ingrate. If she had adopted Mingyue in her past life, she certainly wouldn't have done anything to hurt her.
Seeing the inexplicable sadness in Shu Yuqing's expression, Ye Boxian knew that she was thinking of Jiang Xin from her past life again. Jiang Xin had broken his wife's heart, and she still couldn't let go of the pain.
This matter became a knot in her heart, and she could only slowly figure it out on her own; he couldn't help her with anything.
Ye Boxian joked, "If Mingyue takes all the money to build a welfare home, won't we be broke?"
Shu Yuqing glanced at him and said to Mingyue, "Mom will give you money when we get back!"
Seeing that his daughter was about to refuse, he continued, "This is what your parents mean. Your parents didn't refuse your kindness, so you should accept our kindness too."
The family discussed the future facilities and subsequent investments of the welfare home and nursing home in a harmonious atmosphere. Ye Boxian and Shu Yuqing said that they would cover the subsequent funding and would also follow up on the two projects to ensure the quality of the construction.

While the Ye family was discussing how to give back to society, Jiang Xin was worrying about her own family.
She had been busy all morning and hadn't had a chance to properly see her daughter. She didn't know how An'an was doing at her aunt's, whether she missed her, or if she was having trouble adjusting.
Jiang Xin finally managed to finish the housework and get a break, but her aunt had to say goodbye and go home. Jiang Xin felt a pang of sadness. It seemed like her daughter didn't recognize her mother anymore, and she couldn't even hug her.
Whenever she touches An'an, she cries and struggles desperately to keep herself away.
This is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to, and she doesn't even recognize me as her mother!
Jiang Xin felt a rush of heat to her cheeks. She felt ashamed of her current appearance. Her daughter's resistance to her mother's approach was simply a huge joke.
With red eyes, she said to her aunt, "Aunt, thank you for taking care of An'an, but she doesn't even recognize me as her mother anymore. This is not good for her development. Why don't you keep An'an here?"
While comforting An'an, who was crying from being frightened, her aunt frowned inwardly.
Ever since she took the child away, Jiang Xin has never cared about An'an. To the child, she is just a stranger, so how can you blame the child for not recognizing her?
Wanting a sweet and obedient daughter without giving anything in return? She must be dreaming!
Look how scared the child is! Knowing that An'an is shy and afraid of strangers, Jiang Xin still insisted on taking her away. Doesn't Jiang Xin know that the child is very frightened?
I worked so hard to take care of her child for several months, spending money and effort, but I didn't get a single kind word in return. Now she's even blaming me for not taking good care of An'an.
It's not like she made the child disown her; she's just being kind and getting no reward for it!
My aunt's face darkened as she said, "Are you sure you want to take the child? Let's make this clear first. If you're sure you want to keep the child and take care of him yourself, I won't interfere anymore."
Before Jiang Xin could answer, Jiang Ru interjected, "She's just being childish, sister-in-law, don't be angry. Look how well you've raised An'an; her little face is so fair and tender, you can tell you've put a lot of effort into it."
After saying that, he turned to Jiang Xin and asked, "Who will take care of the child? Let me make it clear first, I will not help you take care of the child. Yanling can barely take care of himself, do you expect him to help you take care of the child? Or are you going to quit your job and stay home full-time to take care of the child?"
Jiang Xin was so angered by her daughter's resistance that she lost her temper and shouted back, "I'll take care of her myself! I'm quitting my job tomorrow!"
"Alright! You can take care of her then! Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work these past few days. Let her mother take care of the child. I'll take you back and pick up An'an's things while I'm at it."
Jiang Ru made the final decision, giving Jiang Xin no chance to back out.
That ungrateful wretch thinks taking care of children is a good thing! Her sister-in-law works so hard and doesn't even get a word of thanks from her, so let her taste the bitterness of hardship too.
