Because Yan Qiuting would go to Yun Duoduo every day after work to check the day's accounts, Yun Duoduo was certain that he was selling goods at the mall every day.
“That’s right, that’s how it is.” Yan Honglan nodded, agreeing with Yun Duoduo’s words. “He had a bit of a cold that day and kept coughing. My mother told him to stay home and rest, but he refused and insisted on going to work.”
Upon hearing this, before Yun Duoduo could even speak, Xia Huanle knew something was amiss. She clapped her hands with a smile and said, "Alright, the mystery is solved. The two of them are dating."
Yun Duoduo smiled; she thought so too.
Zhang Li and Yan Honglan were a little slow to react, but they soon realized that their guess was correct.
There is no other possibility besides this one.
Afterwards, Yan Honglan looked at Yun Duoduo with some worry and said, "But can they be together? Have you forgotten what happened to them in the countryside?"
Xia Huanle said with a smile, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Xiaoqin is doing very well now."
Zhang Li agreed, "Yes, both of them have changed for the better and become more mature. Things are different now."
"If they were together..." Yan Honglan was also swayed by what the two of them said, and looked at Yun Duoduo uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's a good idea?"
"It might not be as good as we think." Yun Duoduo looked at Yan Honglan with worry in her eyes.
They forgot that Wu Chunlan might not even agree.
Originally, the estrangement between Wu Chunlan and Yun Xiaoqin had been resolved because Yun Xiaoqin accompanied Yan Gusheng to Kyoto after Yan Gusheng suffered a stroke. However, Yun Xiaoqin's parents later demanded a reward of three hundred yuan and even wrote a letter to them, which caused Wu Chunlan to harbor great resentment towards Yun Xiaoqin's parents.
Yun Xiaoqin knew about this at the time, but she didn't strongly object. She probably felt that the Yan family should give them the money, since she had helped take care of Yan Gusheng for several days.
At that time, no one expected that Yan Qiuting and Yun Xiaoqin would fall for each other, after all, the two used to be irreconcilable enemies.
Later, Wu Chunlan also gave money because she didn't want the villagers to gossip, but she was very dissatisfied and said not to provoke Yun Xiaoqin's family in the future.
If it weren't for Yun Duoduo's family, they probably would have sent Yun Xiaoqin back home.
Therefore, it is truly unbelievable that these two families would become in-laws.
Speaking of this, Yan Honglan nodded, "That's true. Now, whenever my mother sees Yun Xiaoqin, she thinks of the money issue and she's not happy about it."
When this was mentioned, everyone nodded in agreement. "I guess they probably knew that your mother wouldn't approve, so they didn't dare tell us and only dared to date secretly."
At this point, everyone thought of Yun Xiaoqin's family, which was indeed a handful.
If they knew that Yun Xiaoqin was really with Yan Qiuting, and that the Yan family was doing so well in Kyoto, they would probably insist on coming here even if they didn't want to.
Then, nobody will have any peace and quiet.
Putting aside others, Liu Sixi, Yun Xiaoqin's biological mother, is a top-notch character.
Thinking about it, Yan Honglan sighed, "Actually, Xiaoqin's family is indeed quite troublesome. My mother would rather my second brother not be able to find a wife than have him marry Xiaoqin."
Yun Duoduo thought for a moment, then waved to everyone, signaling them not to worry, "It's okay, I'll ask Qiu Ting later. If he's really made up his mind, there's always a way to solve it."
Everyone nodded.
It's evening now.
Yan Honglan will stay here tonight to help take care of the children and let Ye Wenyue rest for the night.
Although Song Qinglian and Wu Chunlan help take care of the three children during the day, Yun Duoduo still takes care of them by herself at night.
Wu Chunlan and Song Qinglian both had to go home to stay at night, so naturally only Ye Wenyue could help take care of the baby. Ye Wenyue was worried that Duoduo's postpartum period wouldn't go well. If the baby cried at night, she and the nanny they hired to take care of the baby would have to work together to soothe her. She was also tired.
Taking advantage of the relatively relaxed work situation at the factory these past few days, Yan Honglan offered to help take care of the children for a few nights.
So, after finishing their meal, Xia Huanle and Zhang Li decided to go back to their dormitory.
Coincidentally, when Xia Huanle and the others returned, they ran into the three Yun brothers who came to see the children.
Since the last annulment of the engagement, Xia Huanle was sent to live in the dormitory by Song Qinglian. The two have never met face to face. Perhaps Yun Zhifeng felt sorry for Xia Huanle and deliberately avoided her.
The Yun brothers, including Yun Zhifeng, were also surprised to run into Xia Huanle and his group, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
But since they had already run into each other, there was no way to avoid it. Yun Zhiwei also came over and greeted them, saying, "Huanle, Limei, come and see Duoduo."
Zhang Li smiled and was about to nod, "Yes, and I'll also check on the children."
"Aren't you going to play a little longer?"
"We've all finished eating here. We have to get up early for work tomorrow, so we'll head back now."
Yun Zhiwei nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went into the courtyard.
Xia Huanle and Zhang Li also headed towards the factory.
But just as Xia Huanle and Yun Zhifeng passed each other, Yun Zhifeng suddenly called out to her, "Huanle..."
Then, Yun Zhifeng glanced at Zhang Li, who was with Xia Huanle.
Zhang Li immediately understood. She pointed ahead and said to Chong Xia Huanle, "I'll wait for you up ahead."
Now that only the two of them were left, Yun Zhifeng said apologetically, "Huanle, I'm sorry, it was my fault for breaking off the engagement. I've been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to you, but I also know that you don't want to see me, so I kept putting it off."
Before, Xia Huanle might have been waiting for this apology, but after today, she no longer cares.
Perhaps, it's only through testing that we'll find out if she actually likes Yun Zhifeng that much.
Now that Yun Zhifeng is in front of her, she no longer feels heartache, as if that incident happened a very, very long time ago, so long that she can't even remember the details.
She shook her head at Yun Zhifeng and smiled faintly, "It's all in the past, forget it. Feelings can't be forced. Maybe I should thank you for not marrying me, otherwise it would have been a real tragedy."
She would rather stay the way she is now than marry someone who doesn't love her at all.
Yun Zhifeng also saw Xia Huanle's calmness, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been feeling guilty these past few days. He knew he had made a mistake and shouldn't have hurt a girl who was good to him.
As for him and Zhang Yuxia, he knew that there was no possibility for them anymore.
Perhaps, it takes time for many people to get to know each other's personalities and true colors.
In the past six months, because of Zhang Yuxia's repeated attempts to reconcile, Yun Zhifeng also tried to get back together with Zhang Yuxia. After all, the two had separated regretfully in the past, and neither of them was willing to accept it.
With more contact, Yun Zhifeng came to understand Zhang Yuxia's true character.
Zhang Yuxia is not a bad person, but perhaps because she did not receive love from her family when she was young, her personality became somewhat distorted.
