Xie Zhiyan had witnessed Xie Wanying's vicious thoughts, so he naturally understood what Shu Ying meant.
“That makes sense. Let’s be more careful, so that if something really happens, we won’t be blamed.”
Song Zhaodi felt a chill run down her spine. If it was really as they suspected, then Xie Wanying was utterly despicable.
"If such a label were really pinned on us, we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves even if we had a thousand mouths. How could there be such a person in this world?"
After all, no one would believe that someone would joke about their own child.
Song Zhaodi found it utterly incomprehensible; she couldn't understand it at all.
"If she's faking a pregnancy, it's incredibly foolish of her to be so blatant and public about it."
Shu Ying's expression remained unchanged, her arms crossed over her shoulders.
"What wouldn't she do to protect her position?"
People who were originally supposed to waste their lives in the mountains suddenly have the opportunity to come to the city, see a bigger scene, and have a happier life. Naturally, they will do everything they can to seize the glimmer of hope they have now.
Shu Ying looked into the distance and curled her lips into a smile: "There's a saying that goes, 'If you've never had it, you'll become a phoenix.' But once you've actually seen it, you can never let go of that desire in your heart."
Greed knows no bounds, let alone someone like Xie Wanying.
Although Song Zhaodi didn't understand at first, she realized it after thinking about Lü Jie's methods towards Shi Tou.
There are people in this world who are always making long-term plans for themselves, but fortunately, most of the people they live with are very friendly.
"We are lucky, really. Our neighbors and friends are all easy to get along with. At most, Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan say some unpleasant things occasionally, but it's nothing serious. It's just that they shouldn't follow in Xie Wanying's footsteps, that would be really scary."
Song Zhaodi's words reminded Shu Ying at a crucial moment, and she slowed her pace.
"Those two have always been close to Xie Wanying, and they must have provided her with a lot of information. But that's not important. Even if they want to cause trouble in the future, they'll be nothing more than grasshoppers in autumn. The people here are very smart and always know how to change their tune depending on the wind. We'll get used to it."
Xie Zhiyan held Shu Ying's hand with a serious expression: "Are they always coming to cause trouble for the family?"
He's usually at work and doesn't know much about these things. Unless Shu Ying brings it up, he has no way of knowing.
Thinking that there was a big boss behind her, Shu Ying's bright eyes darted around, and she immediately took Xie Zhiyan's arm with both hands, her words carrying a hint of arrogance.
"Of course! I'm not telling you, but they really went too far. In the beginning, they made their own children ostracize Yueyue and Yangyang, and then they made a big fuss about my identity. When I first arrived, I suffered a lot at their hands."
Xie Zhiyan patted the back of her hand, feeling a little guilty.
All the inconveniences Shu Ying experiences here are caused by him.
"I'll talk to the men in their families tomorrow and make sure they all take care of their own family members."
Shu Ying waved her hand dismissively: "Let's forget about it. It's not that serious. Women's affairs aren't that complicated. If they find out that Xie Wanying isn't the Xie family's biological daughter, they'll probably keep their distance from her. I can handle it myself, so you don't need to worry about it."
Xie Zhiyan, who was walking ahead, stopped. The dim light of the evening enveloped his face, making it difficult to see his expression.
“This isn’t about taking extra care of things; it’s something I should do as a husband and father.”
Song Zhaodi nodded with satisfaction. Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying were already more than halfway to winning in a couple because they could put themselves in each other's shoes.
As long as husband and wife are of one mind, there is no obstacle they cannot overcome. She sincerely hopes for a harmonious and lasting relationship.
The three returned home, where the two children were diligently doing their homework, their adorable, chubby faces looking quite cute.
