After leaving Zhou Zhiyuan's house, Qin Yanzheng drove to the compound. After driving for a while, the car remained completely silent.
When they were less than a mile from the compound, Song Lan’s voice rang out: “I know you have doubts, or you want to ask me something, but now is not the right time. I’ll tell you later.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng gave a low "hmm".
The Chen family.
Yuan Ying and Li Jumei, the two sisters-in-law, were in charge of preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. When Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng brought their two children into the living room, the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was just laid out on the table.
"Mom, where is Yueyue?"
As soon as Grandpa Chen spoke, the Chen family members, young and old, sat down around the dining table. However, because there were many children in the family, the same New Year's Eve dinner was served on two tables, meaning that the children of the eldest and second sons' generation sat together.
Okay, Song Guoqing used the excuse of needing to take care of the little ones, so he sat at the same table with Da Bao and Er Bao.
Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, Chen Dongxu, Song Qinghui, and the elders sat at the same table.
As for Chen Dongsheng, he was away on a mission and was unable to return home for the Chinese New Year.
At this moment, Song Lan was sitting next to Li Jumei. She didn't see Zheng Qiuwen at the Chen family's house, so she couldn't help but ask her elderly mother in a low voice.
"Yesterday, your sister Yueyue took Jinzhi to her adoptive parents' home in Shanghai."
Li Jumei responded.
"Oh, I was wondering why I didn't see Yueyue and Jinzhi."
Song Lan smiled and didn't say anything more.
In recent years, without Zhang Hua at the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone has had a very happy time.
Around 11 p.m., Song Lan saw Da Bao and Er Bao sitting on the sofa yawning. She said goodbye to the elders of the Chen family, along with Song Sanhe, Li Jumei, Song Qinghui, and Chen Dongxu, and returned to the Qin family with Da Bao, Er Bao, and Qin Yanzheng.
Because he had to drive, Qin Yanzheng didn't drink alcohol at the Chen family's New Year's Eve dinner, since nothing is more important than safety.
Back at the Qin family home, Song Lan settled Da Bao and Er Bao in before returning to her and Qin Yanzheng's room.
"That woman's surname is Xia. To be more precise, she has some connection with us. To be more precise, it is Comrade Xia who is related to Second Sister."
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "Comrade Xia got stuck in a rut because her husband filed for divorce, which led her to contemplate suicide."
After hearing what Song Lan said, was there anything Qin Yanzheng didn't understand?
His expression was cold and detached. After a long pause, he spoke: "The Comrade Xia you mentioned is Zhou Zhiyuan's wife, isn't she?"
"That's right, Comrade Xia is indeed Zhou Zhiyuan's wife. The reason she wanted to commit suicide was because Zhou Zhiyuan had repeatedly asked her for a divorce. No matter how much she pleaded, Zhou Zhiyuan insisted on getting a divorce."
Song Lan said, "We need to find some time to ask Second Sister if she and Zhou Zhiyuan have broken up. If they have, that would be best, but we also need to prevent Second Sister and Zhou Zhiyuan from getting back together."
If they haven't broken up, this matter is quite serious. In short, even if Zhou Zhiyuan and Comrade Xia complete the divorce proceedings, I don't approve of my second sister and that other person becoming a couple.
"I share the same attitude as you."
Qin Yanzheng replied without hesitation.
The next day.
After paying their respects to Song Weiqiang and Luo Yueqin, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng returned to the Qin family home, but did not see Qin Yaxin. They asked Qin Yaxuan, "Little sister, where is your second sister?"
"They said they were going to a class reunion."
Qin Yaxuan replied truthfully.
"Okay, I understand."
Song Lan smiled and said, "You guys have fun, I'll go to the kitchen to cook dumplings for us." She said this to Qin Yaxuan, Qin Yuhang (Xiao Wu), and Da Bao.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
As Qin Yaxuan spoke, she tried to follow Song Lan to the kitchen.
Before Song Lan could speak, Qin Yanzheng said, "You guys do your thing, I'll go help your sister-in-law."
Qin Yaxuan paused for a moment, then said "Oh".
After Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan went to the kitchen, Qin Yuhang glanced at Qin Yaxuan and said, "Little sister, you need to be more perceptive!" As he spoke, he also winked at Qin Yaxuan.
"I see!"
Qin Yaxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Big brother likes to stick to sister-in-law the most. I was really tactless just now. No wonder the way big brother looked at me was a little strange."
Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao covered their mouths and laughed. Seeing that their aunt was uncomfortable being laughed at, Si Bao said, "Auntie, my dad just doesn't want you to be a third wheel!"
Instantly, the four little ones who were just covering their mouths and chuckling, Qin Yaxuan herself, and Qin Yuhang all burst out laughing.
kitchen.
"I wonder what Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are talking about with Da Bao and the others. They're so happy, their laughter can be heard all the way to the kitchen."
Song Lan shook her head, finding it quite amusing.
"...How about I go ask for you?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yanzheng said something, and his ears were clearly burning at that moment, because he didn't need to think much to know why Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Da Bao were laughing.
After all, none of them are stupid, and besides, the look he gave his little sister before coming to the kitchen... the meaning behind it was all too obvious!
Even if the younger sister might not notice it immediately, Qin Xiaowu and the other three would definitely know.
With a sigh, Qin Yanzheng felt that having a child who was too smart wasn't necessarily a good thing!
Yes, not only are the eldest and second children highly intelligent, but the third and fourth children are also very intelligent, which can be seen from the fact that all four siblings have been sensible and quick-witted since they were young.
Because the children's intelligence was extraordinary, Qin Yanzheng was both happy and troubled.
Needless to say, I was overjoyed.
The headache was that when he and Song Lan were together, as long as the four little ones were around, there were almost no secrets between them.
"Are you very free?"
Song Lan glared at the man and said, "What the children say is their own business. Besides, they have their own little secrets. What kind of nonsense is it for you to go over and ask them what's going on?!"
"It was my fault."
Qin Yanzheng's smile was a little awkward.
"Okay, I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously."
Song Lan shook her head and smiled, saying, "I've already prepared the sauce, and I'm just waiting for the water to boil so I can cook the dumplings. There's nothing else to do here, so go sit in the living room for a while. I'll call you over when the dumplings are done cooking."
“The kids are playing in the living room, so I won’t go over and disturb them. Besides, I’d rather stay with you, my wife.”
He'd rather be with his wife than take care of the kids!
Upon hearing this, Song Lan glanced at Qin Yanzheng but didn't reply. Instead, she asked, "Do you think it's necessary to tell Dad about my second sister's situation?"
"..."
Qin Yanzheng paused for a moment, then said, "It's the New Year, and Dad is busy working in his study. Let's not talk to him about it!" In fact, Qin Yanzheng didn't want his father to be upset because of Qin Yaxin.
"It's better not to let Dad know, so he won't get too upset and hurt his health."
Although Song Lan had already taken good care of Qin's father's health, he was still getting on in years. If he found out that Qin Yaxin was dating a married man, he might be so angry that he would suffer a terrible injury.
To avoid such an accident, Song Lan naturally agreed with Qin Yanzheng's decision.
