Xue Jiayu pulled Xue Huanyu over, dropped the spatula from her hand, and was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak.
Unlike her silence, Xue Huanyu looked at her happily: "Sister, are you guys back here to play? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"
Before Xue Jiayu could answer, a curse was heard from inside the room.
"Ying Huanyu, what are you doing? Are you being lazy again? I think you deserve a beating!"
The cousin rushed out angrily, but when he saw Xue Jiayu and her daughter, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, at the door, he immediately felt ashamed and pulled at his clothes.
"So I was talking to you guys."
Xue Huanyu seemed to be very scared and shrank behind Xue Jiayu, and whispered, "Cousin, can I cook a meal for mom and sister?"
"Of course not!"
When he heard that he still had to cook, my cousin frowned ferociously.
"Cooking? That would cost so much rice and firewood. We are so rich now, can't we just go to a restaurant and eat?"
Xue Huanyu was still begging, "Just cook a meal. I can not eat it, just let my sister and mother eat it."
"No!" The cousin twisted her ear angrily. Jiang Qiuyu immediately stood between them to prevent him from touching Xue Huanyu.
"What are you doing! Stop touching me!"
Xue Huanyu couldn't help crying, "I'm sorry cousin, I just want to cook a meal with my mother and sister. I'll go to work right now, don't hit me——"
"When did I..." My cousin looked confused. When did he hit Xue Huanyu?
Xue Huanyu hugged Xue Jiayu's arm and cried. Xue Jiayu angrily pulled off her apron and threw it in her cousin's face.
"If you want to cook, do it yourself! Xiaoyu, let's go and ignore him."
"But--"
Xue Huanyu was trembling so much that she couldn't speak clearly. Xue Jiayu felt so distressed that he pulled her towards home.
Just as my cousin was about to move, he was warned by Jiang Qiuyu.
"Don't catch up with us, or we'll call the police."
"Hey, no, no, no! There's no need to make it so serious by calling the police! I won't chase you."
Seeing them walk away, my cousin yelled again, "Ying Huanyu, come back soon! If you come back late, I won't let you into the house!"
Xue Huanyu heard it, but did not dare to stop. He held Xue Jiayu's hand and kept rushing forward.
They didn't stop until they returned to Xue's house.
Xue Jiayu was about to take her in, but Xue Huanyu stopped.
"Sister, why don't I just not go in? Let's just stand at the door and chat?"
"Why don't you go in?"
Xue Jiayu took her hand and found many calluses on it.
"Where did this come from? What happened to your hand?!"
"It's sharpened from a wood-chopping knife."
Xue Huanyu raised her hand to show her. Xue Jiayu hugged her hand tightly with heartache, and suddenly felt that what she did was too cruel.
Xu Suzhen and Xue Wangjun heard the noise outside and ran out to see what was happening. They were surprised to see Xue Huanyu in tattered clothes.
"Xiaoyu, why are you wearing so little? You'll get sick!"
Xue Wangjun quickly took off his coat and put it on Xue Huanyu, but she rejected him.
"Dad, your clothes are clean, don't cover me with them, or I'll get them dirty."
Jiang Qiuyi's nose felt sore after hearing this, and she directly pulled Xue Wangjun's clothes and put them on herself.
"Wash it if it's dirty. You can't get sick."
"Thank you, Mom."
Xue Huanyu pulled her clothes tighter and smiled happily.
"I'm so happy."
“…”
Jiang Qiuyi's nose felt sore, and she turned her head to wipe her tears, "Come on, let's go in first."
Seeing Xue Huanyu's unfamiliar and polite manner, Xue Jiayu couldn't help but soften her heart a little.
She has learned her lesson, maybe we can take her back now.
Xu Suzhen looked Xue Huanyu up and down, "Do you do a lot of work at your cousin's house?"
"Yes, grandma."
Xue Huanyu looked at Xu Suzhen's expression and answered.
Xu Suzhen didn't believe it. "Although you have calluses on your hands, your face is very clean. You can't be..."
Xu Suzhen wanted to say, "You are not pretending," but was interrupted by Xue Jiayu, "Grandma! How can you think about your sister so much?"
"I didn't say anything." Xu Suzhen reluctantly went back to the kitchen to prepare meals. Xue Jiayu specifically asked her to make more of Xue Huanyu's favorite dishes.
"Sister, are you hungry and cold here? Don't your cousins give you food?"
Xue Huanyu nodded. "Yes, but they don't allow me to eat too much. If I eat too much, they won't have anything to eat, so I only eat a small bowl at a time."
"You're still growing, how can you only eat a small bowl of rice?!" Xue Jiayu felt so distressed.
[If I had known, I would not have agreed to send my sister back. Now she has become so thin and small]
[My personality has changed a lot, so my original intention was wrong.]
[But if I ask to take her back now, will her parents agree?]
Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.
"Xiaobao, how about we take our sister back home?" Jiang Qiuyu asked.
Xue Jiayu looked at her in surprise, "Of course!"
She was just worrying about how to tell her parents, but she didn't expect them to bring it up themselves!
Xue Huanyu's hands trembled as she looked at Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyi in disbelief. "Mom and Dad, can I really go back with you? Can I still be your daughter?"
"Of course."
Jiang Qiuyi opened her arms to her, "Mom will take you home."
Xue Huanyu threw herself into Jiang Qiuyu's arms and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
She cried so pitifully and miserably that it was heartbreaking to hear.
Except Xu Suzhen.
She came out of the kitchen and saw Xue Huanyu and Jiang Qiuyu hugging each other and crying, and she felt that something was wrong.
"Why are you crying?"
"Grandma, mom and dad are going to take me back!" Xue Huanyu said happily to Xu Suzhen.
Xu Suzhen frowned and looked at her son first.
"Really?"
"yes."
Xue Wangjun knew that his mother would definitely be unhappy, but he still answered with a stiff upper lip, "Qiu Yi and I have already decided. Mom, don't say anything more."
"Do you think I care about this?"
Xu Suzhen took the spatula and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, but her heart was sinking.
We finally drove Xue Huanyu away, but now she's coming back again. Why is she haunting us like a ghost?
While eating, Xue Huanyu looked at them pleadingly: "Mom and Dad, I just want to stay with you tonight. I don't want to go back to that home."
"Okay. You can stay at home tonight and sleep with your sister."
Jiang Qiuyu agreed immediately.
Xue Huanyu smiled happily and bumped heads with Xue Jiayu.
Xue Jiayu's room is about the same size as the rooms in the villa in the city. Xue Huanyu took a shower and got into bed, looking very happy.
"Sister, I can sleep with you again. I'm so happy."
"I am happy too."
Xue Jiayu touched her sister's head, feeling a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, sister, you've suffered."
