"No!"

Xue Huanyu hurriedly took Xue Jiayu's hand and said, "Sister, you are here to see me, aren't you? As long as you come to see me, I won't suffer. I can even go home with you!"

"Sister..." Xue Jiayu was overwhelmed with emotion. After they lay down together, she said earnestly, "You can't do those things again after you go home this time, otherwise I really won't come to see you next time."

"I see!"

Xue Huanyu nodded vigorously, hugged Xue Jiayu and told her over and over again that she would never dare to do it again.

Only then did Xue Jiayu feel relieved.

The next morning, the Xue family set out for the third uncle's birthday party.

Xue Huanyu looked down at her clothes, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Mom and Dad, my clothes are embarrassing for you. I'd better not go."

She and Xue Jiayu standing together were like a maid and a young lady. Xue Huanyu felt ashamed of herself and would rather not go than lose face.

"Sister, I brought other clothes, come and choose."

Xue Jiayu generously opened her small suitcase and said, "Here, just take whatever you want to wear."

"Thank you, sister!"

Xue Huanyu picked out a blue embroidered skirt, which was brought back by Xue Wangjun during a business trip. Xue Jiayu liked it very much and she was reluctant to wear it even a few times.

But Xue Huanyu liked it, so she generously gave it to Xue Huanyu to wear.

Xu Suzhen muttered, "That's Xiaobao's favorite skirt. How can you have the nerve to wear it?"

Xue Huanyu quickly put down her skirt and looked at Xue Jiayu at a loss.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked that one so much, I'll change it!"

Xue Jiayu really liked that dress, but she wasn't so stingy as to not let her wear it even once.

"It's okay, you can wear it, I allow it."

In order to make Xue Huanyu feel at ease when wearing the clothes, Xue Jiayu took the initiative to help her put them on.

"Sister will help you."

After putting on the skirt, Xue Huanyu felt less inferior. Not only did the skirt look good on Xue Jiayu, it also looked good on her, right?

The villagers had long known that the Xue family had sent Xue Huanyu back home, and they planned to use this incident to ridicule Xue Wangjun at the Third Uncle's birthday party.

But no one expected that Xue Wangjun would bring his two daughters with him again!

Everyone looked at each other, what was going on?

Xue Wangjun personally gave his uncle a big red envelope, held his old hand and said, "Uncle, I wish you good fortune and a long life."

"Haha, I'm an old guy now. I hope I'll live longer than the Southern Mountains."

The third uncle felt the thickness of the red envelope and was quite satisfied. He immediately asked his son to come and take them to their seats.

"Have a good treat, he is the most promising person in our village."

Xue Wangjun smiled and waved his hands, "Third Uncle, you are joking."

The third uncle's son took them to their seat and asked someone to bring some chairs.

"I originally thought there were only four of you, so I only prepared four seats. Please squeeze in."

"Thank you, uncle. My sister and I can sit together."

Xue Jiayu held Xue Huanyu in her arms and sat down, answering obediently.

"Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as the host left, Xue Jiayu pulled Xue Huanyu to sit down.

Most of the banquets in rural areas are held in ancestral halls, and so is my third uncle’s. After all, longevity is something worth showing off, and holding it in the ancestral hall will also bring honor to our ancestors.

Although the environment of the ancestral hall is not as good as that of a five-star hotel, most of the chefs invited to cook are good at cooking and have accurately grasped the tastes of the villagers.

The appetizers were preserved egg tofu and cold jellyfish, both of which were Xue Jiayu's favorites. Seeing that no one was eating, Jiang Qiuyu passed the dish to Xue Jiayu.

"Eat quickly, Xiaobao."

“Thank you, Mom!”

Xue Jiayu immediately picked up the chopsticks and motioned to Xue Huanyu to pick up some food as well.

The other people at the table were unhappy.

"Third brother's wife, why is it that only your precious daughter wants to eat, and none of us need to eat? There are elders at the table!"

When Xue Wangjun saw someone talking about his wife, he immediately became unhappy.

"Then why don't you pick it up? Are you not allowing us to eat if you don't use your chopsticks?"

Seeing how protective Xue Wangjun was of his wife, the man didn't dare to say anything, but he was muttering in his heart.

Several of Xu Suzhen's sisters-in-law came over to say hello and asked about Xue Huanyu in a roundabout way.

"Weren't they all sent back? Why are you bringing them out again today?"

This matter was exactly what hurt Xu Suzhen, and she couldn't wait to pull them aside to complain.

Xue Huanyu saw this and clenched his chopsticks tightly, but he couldn't say anything. He just tried his best to please Xue Jiayu and Xue Wangjun.

"Mom and Dad, you guys eat this eggplant. Sister, I'll peel some shrimp for you."

"No need, sister, just eat it yourself—"

Xue Jiayu couldn't stop him at all. Xue Huanyu had already started to wipe his hands and peel shrimps very naturally.

Looking at her clumsy movements, she didn't stop even when her fingers were pierced by the thorns of the shrimp heads, and Xue Jiayu felt a little sad.

This reminded her of the two years before Xue Huanyu changed her surname, when she was also so cautious and treading on thin ice.

Xue Jiayu held Xue Huanyu's hand and said, "Sister, even if you don't peel shrimp for me, I will still take you back. So don't be nervous or worried."

Xue Huanyu was stunned when she heard this. With red eyes, she whispered, "Sister, I want to be more useful and do more work so that mom and dad will not feel that bringing me back is a burden."

"Who said you were a burden?"

Xue Jiayu was very angry, "Is he your cousin?"

"Well... my cousin said that it would cost a lot of food and money to raise me, and if I didn't work, I wouldn't be able to eat. But I do a lot of work every day, and if I don't do it well, my cousin will beat and scold me."

Xue Jiayu felt very distressed when she heard this.

"Come back with me this time, I won't let you come back here again."

"Thank you, sister!"

As soon as Xue Huanyu finished speaking, she saw her cousin walking towards her angrily from not far away. She was so scared that she immediately hid under the table.

"younger sister--?"

Xue Jiayu looked down at her in confusion. Just as she was about to ask, Xue Huanyu's cousin walked up to them the next second.

"Where did you take my cousin? She didn't come back last night! Do you know how worried we are?"

Xue Jiayu pulled the tablecloth to block Xue Huanyu and looked at her cousin calmly.

"You're worried that there won't be anyone to do the hard labor."

"coolie?"

My cousin was totally confused. When did they ever make Xue Huanyu do hard labor after bringing her back?

Not only did she not let her do any hard labor, but any delicious food and fun things at home were given to Xue Huanyu first, as she felt sorry for her sudden return from the city.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not. We have decided to take Xiaoyu back home. She has no relationship with your family anymore. Her last name is Xue now, not Ying or Li."

My cousin was eager to get rid of this burden, "Then we have a deal, your family is not allowed to send it back to us again."

"Yes, we won't drive her away again."
