Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl poked her head in. Her face was a little shy and timid, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Aunt, Daddy said you can go out and play for a while, you don't have to stay in your room all the time."
This is Yin Yueyue, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Yin family, a child who is only twelve years old.
In this family where men have a higher status than women, life is not easy for her and her sister, and they are often treated unfairly.
Especially for Yin Yueyue, her position in this family is particularly embarrassing.
Not only did she not receive the love and attention of her grandparents, but she also had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her five-year-old and innocent sister Yin Xiaoyu.
Such a living environment naturally made her character cautious and timid, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice.
At this moment, even when conveying a simple message, she seemed extremely cautious, fearing that she would make mistakes if she said too much.
Xu Qinghe saw this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She wondered to herself who was occupying this body.
The past few days have been so thrilling that I couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for the little girl in front of me.
She smiled gently at Yin Yueyue and replied softly, "Okay."
Just as Yin Yueyue was about to turn around and leave, Xu Qinghe quickly stood up, took out a handful of colorful candies from his pocket, and quietly placed them into the little girl's tender palm.
Yin Yueyue was stunned, her clear eyes filled with disbelief.
The candy in her hand seemed to be the most precious gift in the world.
In the Yin family, any delicious food is always served to the eldest brother first.
She and her sister could only stand far away, watching with envy and occasionally swallowing their saliva.
Even their mothers believe that girls do not need to enjoy luxurious delicacies and never fight for them.
However, this newly arrived aunt gave her such rare sweetness when they first met.
"Thank you, Third Aunt!" Yin Yueyue hugged the candy tightly in her hands, her eyes flashing with joy that was almost overflowing.
Xu Qinghe gently advised: "Don't be polite, hide it quickly, find a chance to enjoy it quietly with your sister, and don't let anyone see it."
She knew the situation of the two sisters of the Yin family very well, and decided that as long as they did not get involved in the disputes within the family against her, she would treat them well to the best of her ability.
As a woman who is also not valued, she empathizes with others and has an indescribable resonance with them.
Watching Yin Yueyue leave happily, Xu Qinghe slowly walked out of the room.
The courtyard was filled with noise, and several well-dressed strangers were having lively conversations with Yin Yunjie.
They may be Yin Yunjie's former brothers on the battlefield or old friends he has not seen for a long time.
Xu Qinghe did not go forward to disturb her, but walked towards the kind-faced grandmother Zhu Yunxiu.
With Qin Xunfu's company, Zhu Yunxiu seemed particularly happy.
Seeing Xu Qinghe walk out of the room, she smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits and asked with concern: "Why did you come out? Are you hungry?"
As she spoke, she did not forget to push the snacks on the table towards Xu Qinghe.
"Grandma, please eat. I'm not hungry. It's just that the room is a bit stuffy and I want to come out for some fresh air." Xu Qinghe declined politely.
As they were talking, Yin Yunjie walked over to them and introduced them to Xu Qinghe, "Those guys over there are my old comrades. They've all retired and returned home now, and it just so happens that they're here just in time for our wedding. I'd like to introduce you to each other."
Before Xu Qinghe could respond, Zhu Yunxiu urged him, "Hurry up, hurry up, Youzhi is here to accompany me!"
Qin Xunfu also agreed with a smile, waved his hand to encourage Xu Qinghe to go, and assured that they would continue to chat happily.
After Xu Qinghe nodded in thanks, he walked forward with Yin Yunjie.
Xie Di, who was watching coldly from the side, felt her heart tighten suddenly when she saw all this.
She realized that if Xu Qinghe could establish connections with these prominent figures.
Even if Yin Yunjie is not present in the future, Xu Qinghe can still rely on them as a backer, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to her!
Absolutely not, she would never allow Xu Qinghe to leave any good impression in their hearts!
Xie Di secretly made up her mind.
Xu Qinghe, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, stepped lightly into the Yin family's doorstep. Before she got close, Xie Di came forward like a flash of lightning. Although her movements were fast, she was also quite smart and had never been a newcomer in the family.
In front of Yin Yunjie, she showed no displeasure towards Xu Qinghe. Instead, she put on a seemingly cordial smile and said, "Qinghe, you've just married into the family, and I'm afraid you haven't memorized many of your relatives' faces yet. Let your sister-in-law lead the way and take you to get acquainted with them so you can build a better relationship."
After saying this, without waiting for Xu Qinghe's response, Xie Di was eager to show off and reached out to hold Xu Qinghe's hand to walk together.
But almost at the same moment, Yin Yunjie easily protected Xu Qinghe behind his broad back.
He whispered to Xie Di, "Let me take her to say hello to her friends in the city first. I'll naturally visit her relatives later. There's no need to rush."
Upon hearing this, Xie Di's eyes widened in shock and dissatisfaction. "How can this be possible? Relatives are our family, and we should take the brunt of the effort to get to know them. If we neglect them, the outside world will probably say that our Yin family has lost its manners and that the bride is ignorant of her place. Wouldn't our Yin family's century-long reputation be ruined in an instant?"
At first, Xu Qinghe was still confused and didn't understand why Xie Di was so enthusiastic.
Until he caught Xie Di's earnest words out of the corner of his eye.
From time to time, I stole a glance at Yin Yunjie's city friends with extraordinary temperament, and suddenly my mind became clear and everything became clear.
It turned out that Xie Di probably didn't want her to easily get to know these friends with deep backgrounds as the young lady of the Yin family.
You know, those friends each have their own place in the city, and when Yin Yunjie goes out, they will undoubtedly become her strong support.
The deliberate creation of isolation was undoubtedly a plan within the Yin family, intending to take action against Yin Yunjie when she was away.
Realizing the deeper meaning behind this, Xu Qinghe stopped remaining silent.
She slowly walked out from behind Yin Yunjie, a hint of grievance flickering in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but Yin Yunjie's friends have taken time out of their busy schedules to come, so according to etiquette, they should be given priority. As for the relatives, they are all family, and they will definitely understand the order of these etiquettes. If there is really a misunderstanding, I will find an appropriate time to explain it clearly."
Xu Qinghe's words were sincere, which made Xie Di, who originally wanted to show her authority in front of everyone, seem demanding. It was even a bit like she was deliberately making things difficult for her new sister-in-law on the first day of her marriage.
The guests around were waiting for the arrival of the newlyweds, and when they saw that they had not appeared for a long time, they couldn't help but gather together.
Among the crowd was Ni Yuan, a burly man in his fifties.
He used to be Yin Yunjie's boss in the city, and now he is the director of a pork factory.
