As soon as Captain Guan finished speaking, he walked straight out of the guest room.
Wen Qiming greeted Guan Dashan and quickly followed.
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Guan Dashan stared at Guan Xing'er and said, "Use your brain! Although Wen Qiming has given up on divorcing you and, at my and Dad's request, is going to find a place for you and the child to stay..."
But think about it carefully. He doesn't have much money, the three of you live in a small house, you don't know anyone around, and you don't have a job. How are you going to survive?
"I will look for a job."
Myolie Kwan responded.
"Jobs in the city are always one in a million, are you sure you can find one? Besides, even city people are short of jobs, do you think they'd hire a girl from the countryside like you?"
Guan Dashan didn't mean to discourage Guan Xing'er; he just wanted to explain all the difficulties they would face to his stubborn sister so that she could be mentally prepared for life in the city.
“In our village, if you’ve had a few years of schooling, you’re considered somewhat educated. But in the city, there are plenty of people with only a junior high or high school diploma. Compared to that, your skills are simply not enough in the city!”
And even if you're lucky enough to find a job, have you thought about what will happen to your two kids? They're so young, are you going to lock them in the house and go to work by yourself?
Guan Dashan's expression turned serious: "If nothing goes wrong, everything will be fine, but if something does happen, you'll regret it!"
"Brother, please stop talking!"
Guan Xing'er sobbed, "If my child and I don't stay in Beijing to watch over Wen Qiming, who knows if he won't have an affair with another woman behind our backs? What will we do then?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Dashan fell silent.
After a long pause, he said, "I think we should still go to Wen Qiming's house!"
"..."
Guan Xing'er was puzzled.
"We need to let his family and neighbors know about you and the children. That way, if Wen Qiming tries to cause trouble in your marriage again, they'll drown him in their spittle."
Guan Dashan felt that this was not enough, so he added, "Before my dad and I go back to our hometown, we should also visit Wen Qiming's school so that his classmates and teachers know that he already has a family."
Double insurance is essential!
Guan Xing'er: "I'll listen to my father and older brother."
"Don't rush to find a job. After the two kids start kindergarten, look around your neighborhood and see if there are any jobs available."
There are kindergartens in the city where children can be enrolled as young as three. Since his two nephews have fathers in the city, there's nothing wrong with them going to kindergarten when they reach the appropriate age.
Guan Xing'er hummed in agreement.
The two children, perhaps exhausted from crying, were fast asleep on the guest room bed. They hadn't heard Guan Dashan say anything more. Guan Xing'er bit her lip, her voice tinged with unease, and asked Guan Dashan, "Brother, is Qin Zhiqing sure she won't have any more contact with Wen Qiming, right?"
"Didn't you say it yourself in front of Wen Qiming? With a husband like Zhou Zhiqing, what does Qin Zhiqing want from Wen Qiming? Why would she want to get involved with him?"
Guan Dashan looked helpless: "You saw it today too. Qin Zhiqing's brother and sister-in-law are obviously not ordinary people. It can be seen that Qin Zhiqing's family background is just as complicated as Zhou Zhiqing's. Moreover, their brother and sister-in-law made it so clear. How could Qin Zhiqing be so unreasonable as to still be entangled with Wen Qiming?"
"I……"
Guan Xing'er was quite taken aback, but she still couldn't let go of Qin Yaqing.
To be honest, she was insecure. She knew she couldn't compare to Qin Yaqing in any way. Even though she spoke confidently in front of Wen Qiming, the deep-seated sense of inferiority wouldn't disappear anytime soon.
"Alright, stop dragging Qin Zhiqing into this. You took advantage of the conflict between Wen Qiming and Qin Zhiqing to get involved, and then you got what you wanted. Now that you and Wen Qiming are having an unstable relationship, it has nothing to do with Qin Zhiqing."
It's Wen Qiming who wants to go back to his ex!

As night deepened, Song Lan coaxed her two children to sleep and returned to her and Qin Yanzheng's bedroom.
As for the three and four babies, since the two are only a little over six months old, their daily routine is basically eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Not long after dark, they drink their milk and then fall asleep while yawning.
In addition, their crib was placed in Song Sanhe and Li Jumei's bedroom, and with the grandparents looking after it, Song Lan didn't have to worry much.
"What happened today... didn't affect your mood, did it?"
As Song Lan lay down on the bed, she was suddenly startled by what Qin Yanzheng said. She then smiled and asked, "Are you talking about what happened to my younger sister?"
Qin Yanzheng gave a low hum.
"Then you didn't ask the right person before."
Song Lan's gentle tone carried a hint of amusement: "When something unpleasant happens to your younger sister, it's definitely her mood that's affected. As for me, I'm just a bystander, so how could it affect my mood? Besides..."
You've resolved everything so efficiently, and my younger sister wasn't swayed by her ex-boyfriend's words. Looking back, I feel quite pleased!
Qin Yanzheng breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely worried that the afternoon's troubles might have affected Song Lan's mood.
After a moment of silence, his clear yet gentle voice rang out again: "I was really angry at the time, that's why I hit him. You don't think I was impulsive, do you?"
Why would you think that way?
Song Lan found it amusing. She said, "I don't think you were impulsive at all; on the contrary, I'm very happy with your actions! After all, your younger sister suffered a lot because of that person, and she didn't even get to see her mother one last time."
As the elder brother, I couldn't do anything to the person before since I couldn't see them. Now that I've unexpectedly encountered them and see that they're still up to no good and are trying to harass my sister again, wouldn't it be against all reason not to give them a beating?
Qin Yanzheng let out a low chuckle: "Why do I get the feeling that you're still a warmonger?!"
"I'm just stating the facts."
Song Lan glanced at the man and said, "If you hadn't made a move back then, I, as the elder sister-in-law, would have also taught the other party a lesson on behalf of my younger sister."
"I'd be heartbroken!"
Qin Yanzheng held Song Lan as they lay on their sides, facing each other. His eyes were tender as he said, "The other person has thick skin and flesh, and the force is mutual. Whether you use your hands or your feet, you will definitely feel pain."
He then changed the subject, saying, "Luckily, I acted quickly and didn't hurt you."
Song Lan laughed out loud: "That's enough!" Although she said that, Song Lan's heart was full of warmth. At the same time, Qin Yanzheng heard her thoughts.
[I used to lead my soldiers on the battlefield, suffering countless wounds, both major and minor. But the pain from those wounds was nothing compared to the agony of those soldiers who died at the hands of the Tartars, those whose arms and legs were severed by them!]
Recalling his past battles, Song Lan unconsciously stopped laughing, immersing himself in the melancholy of bygone days.
