Zhu Qinghao spoke quite loudly, so Zhu Qingyun and Zhen Zhu both heard her and came over to help persuade her.
Wen Chuyi had probably confirmed her husband's safety and felt much more at ease, so she agreed to stop thinking about it.
But whether she wants it or not, only she herself probably knows.

A few days later, in the morning, after Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian had finished their preparations, they sat under the eaves of Zhu Qinghao's house to rest and wait for Tian Haiying's arrival, because they were going to make sauerkraut that day.
After discussing it, the two decided to do it at Zhu Qinghao's place, because Si Tian only needed to make a small quantity, which would be easy to move over later, saving Aunt Haiying the trouble of running back and forth.
They prepared all the ingredients in advance: Chinese cabbage, salt, two large vats that were cleaned with boiling water, and two stones that were scalded clean.
To make it easier for Aunt Haiying to start the process right away, the two of them started by moving the cabbages that needed to be made into sauerkraut out of the cellar little by little.
So when Tian Haiying arrived early in the morning, she saw two little girls sitting there resting with their chins propped up, looking bored, while the ingredients they needed to pickle sauerkraut were laid out next to them.
"Wow, you two are really something! How did you manage to carry all these cabbages out by yourselves? How long will it take you to carry them?"
"Hey you guys, wait until I get here and we can team up. I may not have any special skills, but I'm sure I'm strong."
Upon hearing Tian Haiying's voice, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian got up together to welcome her in.
"Aunt Haiying, you're here? It's nothing, we did it together, chatting and working at the same time, so it didn't feel tiring at all."
Besides, Auntie came all this way to teach us how to make sauerkraut, how could we possibly trouble you? Don't you think so?"
Tian Haiying followed the two into the courtyard, her smile widening.
"Alright, alright, when it comes to reasoning, I can't beat you youngsters. Let's just talk about pickled cabbage. You might not be able to argue with me on that!"
Si Tian handed her a stool, while also flattering her.
"Absolutely! In our eyes, Aunt Haiying is the authority on making sauerkraut. You can talk as much as you want in a bit, and I guarantee no one will interrupt you!"
"Hahahaha, I wouldn't dare claim to be any authority. If you ask me, it's Little Sweetie's mouth that's the real authority!"
While teasing Si Tian, Tian Haiying exchanged a glance with Zhu Qinghao, and then an undeniable smile appeared in both of their eyes.
Seeing the interaction between the two and the bright smiles in their eyes, Si Tian wasn't annoyed. She just shamelessly let them talk, and occasionally agreed with them to prove that she was excellent.
After playing around for a while, the two began learning how to make sauerkraut under Tian Haiying's guidance.
"If you want the pickled cabbage to have a nice color, you have to remove the outer leaves that don't look good. Otherwise, it won't turn out to be that lovely bright yellow color."
Zhu Qinghao and Sitian listened to Aunt Haiying's instructions and obediently followed her movements, peeling off the unevenly colored leaves of the cabbage that occasionally had wormholes.
