He Yujie had already wiped the table and set out the chairs. He took the bowl of noodles from Su Xueli and said, "I'm so sorry to have you cook again."
Su Xueli sat down and said, "Don't be so polite, we're relatives from now on..."
She paused here, then, thinking of the two families still lying in the hospital, she chuckled awkwardly and said, "I'm really sorry, my family came to your house and caused this scene. It's so embarrassing. I apologize to you, Teacher He."
He Yujie shook his head: "This has nothing to do with us. You don't need to apologize. Let the parents handle their own affairs."
Su Xueli agreed with him and said, "As expected of a teacher, you are so understanding and logical. If it were someone else, they would hate me."
He Yujie said sincerely, "Absolutely not, one thing at a time."
Su Xueli explained to him, "Actually, my family members aren't reckless. It's just that this incident made my dad and uncle lose their minds and act foolishly for a moment."
He Yujie smiled and said, "You don't need to explain this. I know your family's situation. You forgot? I was a teacher at the primary school behind your village, so I know most of the people in your village."
Su Xueli said "Oh," and added, "I had completely forgotten about that."
He Yulan said, "Brother, Sister Xue Li, you two eat your noodles, don't just talk."
Su Xueli picked up a noodle and blew on it, saying, "No rush, the noodles are hot."
He Yujie is a truly civilized person; she doesn't make a fuss while eating noodles, but she's also quite fast at eating, finishing a bowl of food earlier than the other two.
But he sat down and said, "I'll wash the dishes after you've finished eating."
He Yulan said while eating noodles, "No need, there are only three bowls, why do you need to wash them? You should go back and rest."
He Yujie said, "No need, I'll go back later."
He then turned to Su Xueli and said, "Yulan just told me about Yunfeng going to work in the city. That's good. He doesn't have to worry about being caught by either of their families, and he won't be bored anymore and he can earn money."
Don't worry, Sherry, as long as your brother's feelings don't change, I will always support them both.
After finishing the last mouthful of soup in her noodles, Su Xueli looked up and said, "Teacher He, I am really grateful to you. Not only do you not hate my family now, but you also continue to support them as always. As their older sister, I will do my best to help them achieve their goals."
He Yujie grinned and said, "They're lucky to have older brothers and sisters like us."
He Yulan smiled happily and said, "Who says otherwise? Yunfeng and I are very grateful to you."
Seeing that everyone had finished eating their noodles, He Yujie started to clear the bowls, but Su Xueli stopped him and said, "Teacher He, there's something I want to tell you. Let's wash the dishes later."
He Yujie quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Just say what you need to say."
He Yulan quickly collected the bowls and said in a low voice, "You two talk, I'll go wash the dishes."
Su Xueli asked, "Your colleague isn't using the courtyard where my brother lives for the time being, right?"
He Yujie said, "No need, his whole family has moved to the county town and won't be back anytime soon."
Su Xueli said, "That's good. That's what I was thinking. Maybe I'll need that courtyard. I was thinking of asking you to help me rent it."
He Yujie was taken aback: "How come you would need that courtyard?"
Su Xueli smiled and said, "I use it to do a small business; it's not very convenient at home."
"Hmm?" He Yujie frowned slightly.
Su Xueli quickly explained, "No, no, no, don't misunderstand. I'm not doing any illegal business. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to be at home."
I'm a married man now, and it's not good for me to stay at my parents' house all the time. I need to find another place to live, and I think the courtyard where my cousin used to live is suitable.
He Yujie didn't understand what he meant at all. Since she had married into her husband's family, why did she say that "it's not okay to stay at her parents' house all the time" and that she needed to rent a courtyard?
Su Xueli understood what he was thinking, so she glanced at the kitchen and whispered, "I might want a divorce."
