In the end, Xue Wangjun still gave his cousin three hundred yuan as "hardship fee".

"This money is Xiaoyu's food expenses while she is staying at your house. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu these days."

My cousin spit a little saliva on his fingertips and said unhappily, "Why is it only three hundred? You're so stingy."

Xue Jiayu resisted the urge to throw all the food on his face. "I'm not bad at all for giving you three hundred. Look for yourself what I've done to my sister. She used to be a delicate little girl, but now her hands have become so rough. I'm good enough that I didn't sue you for abuse!"

"If we hadn't given her food these past few days, she would have starved to death."

My cousin curled his lips and quickly left with the money.

Xue Huanyu let out a long sigh, "Sister, now I can really go back with you."

In order to avoid any more trouble, Xue Jiayu thought it would be best to go back as soon as possible. She whispered to Jiang Qiuyi, "Mom, can we go back after we finish eating?"

Jiang Qiuyu thought she was talking about her home in the city and nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go home."

"No, no! I mean my home in the city."

Jiang Qiuyu picked out a large piece of boneless fish for her and put it in her bowl.

"What's wrong, Xiaobao, are you anxious?"

"Yeah! I want to go home. I don't want to stay here."

“I see.”

Jiang Qiuyi has always been willing to grant her daughter's requests, so since she said so, Jiang Qiuyi naturally couldn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll talk to Dad later, you should eat something first."

"kindness!"

Xue Wangjun hadn't been back for a long time, and many people in the village wanted to find him for help, and they lined up with wine to drink with him.

Soon, Xue Wangjun started to burp and approached Jiang Qiuyi with a smell of alcohol, "Wife, burp - I'm so happy! I met a lot of my childhood friends."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Qiuyi wiped his face gently, "As long as you are happy. By the way, Xiaobao said he wanted to go back now."

"Now? Then you can take them back."

Xue Wangjun was drunk and felt hungry. He was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat when he heard Jiang Qiuyi say, "Xiaobao wants to go back to the city, not to the home in the village."

"ah?!"

Xue Wangjun quickly put down his chopsticks, "But I just drank some wine, I can't drive!"

"I know. I'll drive it."

Jiang Qiuyi scooped him a bowl of soup and said, "Hurry up and drink something to warm your stomach. Isn't it uncomfortable to drink on an empty stomach?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xue Wangjun was lying on his wife's shoulder and acting coquettishly, and was seen by his two daughters.

Xue Jiayu deliberately made a face, "Dad is so shameless!"

"How dare you laugh at your dad." Xue Wangjun pinched his daughter's face and drank the soup in no time. "Let's go home."

Jiang Qiuyi was still putting on makeup, and looked at him in surprise: "I thought you were going to talk to your brothers for a few more words."

"Let's stop talking. The more we talk, the more we're talking about money. Xiaobao, don't you want to go home? Honey, you drive, and I'll sit in the passenger seat with you."

Jiang Qiuyi nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay. Xiaobao, go find grandma."

Xu Suzhen was talking to her sisters in the village about Xue Huanyu. When Xue Jiayu found her, she had her back to him.

"grandmother--"

Xue Jiayu shouted very loudly, and Xu Suzhen turned around, covering her chest.

"Oh, I'm so scared! Xiaobao, what are you doing?"

Xu Suzhen quickly picked up her little granddaughter and showed her to her older sisters.

"This is our little treasure. What do you think? Isn't she getting prettier and prettier?"

“It’s true!”

The old ladies all wanted to touch Xue Jiayu's face, but were pushed away by Xu Suzhen.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that you can't touch a child's face casually?"

Xu Suzhen asked her to say hello to them. Xue Jiayu hugged her neck and said in a baby voice, "Hello, grandmas~"

This greeting melted their hearts.

"Hello, hello."

"Oh, this little girl from the Xue family is so pretty. When I go back, I'll have to ask my daughter-in-law to give me another granddaughter!"

"I do have a granddaughter, but she's not as pretty as the one from the Xue family."

"Little friend, I'll buy you something delicious. Will you come with me?"

Xue Jiayu hugged Xu Suzhen tightly and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just following grandma."

This made Xu Suzhen feel very proud, and she stood up straight in front of her old sisters.

"See? This is a real little cotton-padded jacket!"

Xu Suzhen showed off enough before she carried Xue Jiayu back to their seat, "Xiaobao, why are you here to see grandma?"

"Grandma, let's go home."

"Okay, grandma wants to go back to bed too."

Xu Suzhen looked at her granddaughter lovingly. She was about to get a packing bag to take everything back, but she heard Xue Jiayu say, "Grandma, I mean to go back to the home in the city."

"In the city?!"

Xu Suzhen glanced at the sky and said, "It's so late now, are you going back? Why don't you take a rest for a night and leave tomorrow?"

Xue Jiayu bit her lower lip and didn't say it was for Xue Huanyu.

Grandma was already dissatisfied with Xiaoyu. If she knew that she was going back early for Xue Huanyu, she would probably scold Xue Huanyu again.

"I just want to go home, grandma, okay? Let's go back quickly."

"Okay. Whatever our little treasure says is fine."

Fortunately, they didn't bring any luggage when they came back, and their valuables and documents were all in the car. Jiang Qiuyi helped the drunk Xue Wangjun into the car and let him sit in the passenger seat.

Xue Jiayu sat between Xue Huanyu and Xu Suzhen, "Come on, Mom~"

"good."

Jiang Qiuyu smiled, started the car, and glanced at the time.

It's eight o'clock now. If we drive faster, we can get home before twelve o'clock.

Xue Jiayu saw her plan and quickly said, "Mom, drive slower. We need to be safe."

"good."

Jiang Qiuyi smiled faintly, "Mom will definitely drive safely for you. Don't worry."

She doesn't like driving at night, and she especially doesn't like driving on the highway late at night, but she still grits her teeth and drives for the sake of her two children.

Everyone was tense throughout the journey, and Xue Wangjun was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat.

Xu Suzhen and Xue Huanyu were also drowsy. The whole car was eerily quiet, and even Jiang Qiuyu began to lose focus.

"Mother."

Xue Jiayu suddenly spoke, waking her up.

"What's wrong, little treasure?"

"It's okay. I want to chat with you."

"Chat? But dad, sister and grandma all seem sleepy. Aren't you sleepy? Take a nap and wait until mom calls you."

"I'm not sleepy." Xue Jiayu lowered her voice, "I'm here to chat with you because I'm afraid you'll get sleepy."

"Okay. Thanks, babe."

Jiang Qiuyu felt warm in her heart.

Xue Jiayu told all the interesting things that happened at school. Although Jiang Qiuyu had heard it once, she still found it interesting to hear it again.

"Really? So what model do you and Nan Qi plan to make in the end?"

Speaking of this, Xue Jiayu touched her nose in embarrassment, "It was Brother Nanqi who decided it, I don't know. I was thinking about my sister those days."

"Then you have to apologize to Nan Qi when you go back. You asked him to participate but left the whole thing to him alone."
