After bidding farewell to Han Shuo, Zheng Yujing followed Feng Juan into the depths of the family compound.
Along the way, Zheng Jing looked around curiously.
Although this was her first time here, she had only been there for a wedding and had only visited the hotel and Yun Qiao's house. She had been there so quickly that she hadn't even had time to take in the surroundings. She hadn't been here in over a year, and she had long forgotten how to get around. Everything she saw seemed unfamiliar.
Feng Juan briefly introduced to Zheng Jing which direction was the restaurant where they had held their wedding last time, which direction was the grocery store, and finally which direction was their home.
Of course, Feng Juan only talked about the living area. She didn't reveal a single word about the buildings and areas involved.
On this side, Feng Juan took Zheng Jing home, and on the other side, Han Rou, who arrived late, also picked up Han Shuo.
Han Rou walked in front with her bulging belly, and Han Shuo pushed a bicycle beside her.
Han Rou was a little unhappy, and it showed on her face. She complained as she walked, "When I just came here, I saw Zheng Jingjing from a distance. Brother, why did you come with her? You know very well that I hate her the most."
"It's just a matter of time, so we're just keeping each other company." Han Shuo tried to comfort his sister.
"Why would you want to keep company with anyone else? Why do you have to keep company with her? I've already told you, I hate her!"
Han Shuo: "If not her, who else can I keep company with? Think about it, in the entire company, besides her and me, who else would come to the family compound?"
"Then why don't you come alone? Why are you hanging out with her?" Han Rou was still unhappy: "You know very well that I hate her."
"I don't usually have any contact with her. We just happened to run into each other this time." Han Shuo explained, "We're just companions. Don't be unreasonable."
"Why am I being unreasonable? I don't want you to have contact with the person I hate. Isn't that normal?" Han Rou suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility.
Her alarm bells rang, her eyes wide open, and she looked at Han Shuo as if she were facing a great enemy: "Brother, don't tell me that you like Zheng Jing?"
"Huh???" Han Shuo's brows furrowed in confusion. He simply couldn't understand Han Rou's train of thought. "Why would you think that? I've already told you, she and I have no contact at all. Why would you still think that way? What are you thinking about all day long?"
"I'm just worried!" Han Rou said with a pout.
"What are you worried about? I have nothing to do with her." Han Shuo shook his head helplessly.
"There are only a few pretty girls in the company, and Zheng Jingjing is the most outstanding among them. Who knows if you will fall in love with her?" Han Rou snorted softly, "You men are all superficial. You only look at the face when choosing a partner."
Han Shuoyu: "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
"Who knows? I'm not the worm in your stomach." Han Rou glared at him angrily. "Anyway, I hate Zheng Jing. It's useless for you to like her. I won't allow her to marry you and become my sister-in-law! If you don't listen to me, even if you two get married, I will make trouble every day and break you up."
"Stop it, stop talking. You're getting more and more ridiculous. I've already told you that I have nothing to do with her." Han Shuo interrupted Han Rou impatiently, emphasizing, "I'm telling you again, I have nothing to do with Zheng Yujing, not just now, but in the future. There will never be any relationship. Stop making assumptions and talking nonsense. Do you hear me?"
"You defend her..." Han Rou didn't hear anything at all, she just felt that Han Shuo was speaking for her.
"Am I defending her? I'm defending her and mine, our respective reputations!" Han Shuo's patience ran out. Seeing Han Rou was about to say more, he couldn't help but glare at her: "Shut up! I don't want to hear you speak right now."
After saying that, Han Shuo quickened his pace while pushing his bicycle. Seeing this, Han Rou had no choice but to quicken her pace to catch up with Han Shuo. However, she still felt aggrieved in her heart, and her eyes turned red and tears fell as she walked.
When Han Shuo finally calmed down and looked back, he saw Han Rou's face covered with tears.
Han Shuo stopped helplessly and asked her, "You are being unreasonable, why are you crying?"
"How can I not cry when I feel wronged? You know very well that I hate Zheng Jing, but you always take her side in every word you say. How can I not make a fuss after hearing your attitude?" Han Rou lowered her head and choked with sobs. She sniffed in grievance, but the words she said were just blaming others.
Han Shuo almost laughed out of anger at her words. This sister was spoiled by him. It was impossible to reason with her, so he simply ignored her.
"You're pregnant, so I'll let you go. I'm too lazy to talk to you. Just say whatever you want."
Han Shuo no longer paid attention to Han Rou and continued pushing his bike forward. He had just been to the family compound not long ago and knew the way to Han Rou's house.
Seeing that Han Shuo was really angry, Han Rou quickly wiped away her tears and trotted to catch up with him.
"Brother, wait for me." Han Rou pulled Han Shuo's clothes, glanced at his face, and said in a soft tone, "Are you really angry?"
Han Shuo acted as if he didn't hear anything and just walked forward on his own.
"Oh! Brother!" Han Rou called out to him, her tone drawn out. "I was wrong. I was making wild assumptions and making a fuss. I know I was wrong, but why don't I just stop? Please don't ignore me."
Seeing Han Rou's pitiful appearance, Han Shuo finally softened his heart. He sighed, paused and said, "You are going to be a mother soon. When will you change your bad temper?"
Han Shuo softened his heart, nodded, and took his arm, shaking it coquettishly: "I will change, I will change, I will change tomorrow."
"You..." Han Shuo tapped her forehead.
Han Rou chuckled.
Han Shuo shook his head helplessly and said, "You should be more cautious in the future and don't believe everything you hear. What you worry about will not happen. I never planned to start a family in the countryside."
"I know, brother, I was wrong today. I was just so angry when I saw you and Zheng Jing standing together that I lost my mind for a moment. I won't do that again in the future."
Han Rou lowered her posture and admitted her mistakes in a very good manner. Her submissive look also made Han Shuo's stern face no longer stern.
The brother and sister chatted as they walked, smiling happily. When they got home, there was no sign that they had ever had an argument.
After entering the house, Han Shuo took off the woven bag hanging on the handlebars and said, "I brought you some mountain products and put them in the kitchen."
Han Rou nodded, picked up the thermos, poured a cup of water into the teacup, and handed it to Han Shuo: "Brother, drink some water to warm yourself up."
The water just poured out of the thermos was too hot. Han Shuo held the cup to warm his hands and did not drink it for the time being.
He looked around but didn't see any sign of Xiong Qingqing, so he asked, "Is Qingqing home?"
When Xiong Qingqing was mentioned, Han Rou's attitude turned cold for a moment. She nodded casually and said "hmm".
"Is Qingqing going to school?" Han Shuo asked her, "Qingqing is over four years old now, and it's time for her to go to school."
"She hasn't started school yet. She's probably out having fun," Han Rou explained. "Her dad's busy with work and doesn't care about her. I'm pregnant, so I can't make the four trips a day to pick her up. So I plan to let her start school next fall."
Han Shuo nodded: "It's not too late to go to school next fall."
Han Rou hummed and said nothing more.
Han Shuo mentioned Xiong Qingqing, but Han Rou showed no interest. The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Han Shuo stood up and took the initiative to ask, "Do you know where Qingqing is playing? I'll pick her up."
