"Who knows what she'll do to you in the future. For now, you'd better avoid direct confrontation with her. Avoid it if you can. Once the new house is built, you and Jianguo should move out as soon as possible. Stay away from her and have some peace and quiet."
The reason why Zhu Yunxiu was so nervous was that she was worried that Sun Youfang would impulsively reveal Xu Qinghe's hidden secret to the public one day, destroying the peaceful life that they had finally achieved.
In desperation, he could only advise Xu Qinghe to be patient for the time being and avoid unnecessary disputes with Sun Youfang.
Xu Qinghe's eyes revealed puzzlement and bewilderment. Ever since Zhu Yunxiu tacitly agreed to let Sun Youfang dine at the same table, she vaguely realized that Sun Youfang seemed to have caught Zhu Yunxiu in some vulnerable position.
Now that Xu Jianguo is in trouble, I still have to be careful at all times. This situation is really puzzling.
"Grandma, can't you tell me the secrets you're hiding? Jianguo's troubles were caused by himself. What does it have to do with me? If Sun Youfang continues to be unreasonable with me, I won't tolerate it anymore."
She is no longer the original owner who would accept everything and silently endure oppression. Now that someone has bullied her at her doorstep, how can she just sit back and do nothing?
"Don't worry too much about these things. Knowing them would be disadvantageous to you. Just listen to Grandma and try to avoid her. Everything she does is to protect you. While you live here, we will just treat it as alms giving her a bite to eat. After we move, we will each live our own lives and have nothing to do with each other, okay?"
Zhu Yunxiu's tone was full of helplessness and heartache, and she only hoped that Xu Qinghe could understand her difficulties.
Zhu Yunxiu held Xu Qinghe's delicate hand tightly, her eyes filled with deep requests.
Although he mentioned it as a small favor to ask for a meal for Sun Youfang, Xu Qinghe knew the truth in his heart.
Behind the twists and turns, it seems that the secret that Sun Youfang kept secret cannot be avoided.
Xu Qinghe smiled inwardly at himself. As a time traveler who had mastered the story, he was actually confused by the intricate human hearts and secrets in this real world. He couldn't help but think: If the author who created all this could have put in a little more effort and laid out this chess game more clearly, he wouldn't be so confused!
Faced with Zhu Yunxiu's warm gesture of patting the back of her hand with relief, Xu Qinghe finally nodded slightly and agreed. After all, solving problems must be done step by step and there is no need to be impatient.
Zhu Yunxiu's face lit up with a relieved smile, and she said softly, "Grandma knows it's been hard for you these days. Once you have your own little world, all your troubles will go away. By the way, how's the construction of your new house going?"
"It's going pretty smoothly. At the current rate, we'll be able to see the new house completed in about ten days."
When Xu Qinghe answered, there was a hint of expectation in his tone.
In this era, building a house is far less complicated than building a skyscraper in a modern city. Many families pursue simplicity and practicality, and are satisfied with simply building a few rooms with adobe bricks.
However, Xu Qinghe's new house is different. She chose strong and durable red bricks.
With sufficient funds and all the materials ready, the project progressed rapidly. In just a few days, the house began to show its warm and solid outline.
Xu Qinghe noticed the subtle change in the topic. Without saying much, he turned around and walked out the door lightly, and began to busy himself with preparing dinner.
On the other hand, Sun Youfang woke up after a deep sleep and missed the meal. It was not until late at night, when everything around her was immersed in dreams, that she quietly slipped into the kitchen to look for food.
The question about her son was deeply rooted in her heart, causing her dull pain.
She believed what her son said about the man named Brother Lin, but she had been searching for him in vain. Even if she found him, she was afraid that she would not be able to do anything with her ability.
This resentment that had nowhere to vent was involuntarily transferred to Xu Qinghe.
Xu Qinghe was clearly well-off, and his son's problem could have been easily solved as long as he was willing to pay the price.
But in Xu Qinghe's view, the law should be followed and the police should be allowed to intervene. In Sun Youfang's eyes, such insistence undoubtedly cut off her son's only way out, and the blame naturally fell on Xu Qinghe.
At this moment, although the fire of revenge was burning in his heart, Sun Youfang knew that the time was not yet ripe.
She thought that she could no longer confront Xu Qinghe directly. Doing so would not only fail to hurt the other party, but would put herself in a passive position.
To completely defeat this seemingly weak but actually tough little girl, we must find her weakness and start with her background.
As long as Xu Qinghe's unknown secrets are revealed, her life will be turned upside down and she will be unable to cope.
As he was thinking, Sun Youfang lay down again after filling his stomach, thinking about how to work hard to repay the debts. At the same time, he was planning another strategy to help the Yin family win Su Qifen's heart and make a marriage between them possible.
In Sun Youfang's view, the relationship between men and women is nothing more than a carefully planned game, and she is confident that she has enough skills and strategies.
However, Su Qifen's identity is special. As the daughter of the village party secretary, she must act cautiously and not go too far, so as to avoid becoming a topic of discussion in the village and losing face in the future.
The most ideal solution is to find a scapegoat, put all the blame on this person, and make him the focus of all conflicts.
Looking around, a perfect "candidate" gradually emerged in Sun Youfang's mind - Xu Qinghe.
With the plan set, Sun Youfang finally fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, as the morning light began to shine, Xu Qinghe slowly opened his sleepy eyes and saw Sun Youfang busy in the yard, the broom in his hand lightly drawing arcs on the ground.
Hearing the subtle sound behind him, Sun Youfang stopped what he was doing, slowly turned around, a rare gentle smile blooming on his face, and whispered to Xu Qinghe, "Are you up? Go wash up and have breakfast. I've already made noodles. A full meal will give you more energy to deal with today's affairs!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly picked up the garbage on the ground and walked out of the yard without stopping.
Xu Qinghe's mind was in a state of chaos, and she was completely awakened by this sudden warm scene. She couldn't help but look up at the sky, and in a trance she felt that today's morning light seemed different from the past, with an incredible illusion.
Experience told her that there must be a reason for the unusual situation. Xu Qinghe secretly speculated in her heart and was skeptical about Sun Youfang's sudden change.
After all, there is an insurmountable rift between the two of them, especially considering that Sun Youfang has never reached out to help her solve those difficult problems, the resentment in her heart is probably deep-rooted.
Xu Qinghe firmly believed that unless there was an ulterior motive behind it, Sun Youfang would never easily show this rare warmth.
