Zhu Yunxiu agreed with a smile, and suddenly realized that she was immersed in the past and had indeed forgotten the existence of Yin Yunjie.
Xu Qinghe ran quickly up the mountain. Fortunately, Yin Yunjie didn't go far.
She opened her throat and called out through the forest: "Yin Yunjie!"
Soon, the response came like the wind: "No problem, you can go back first!"
Xu Qinghe felt relieved, turned around, supported his grandmother again, and slowly walked down the mountain along the wide road.
At this moment, with Xu Qinghe's company, although Zhu Yunxiu's steps were slow, she did not stumble again.
When I arrived at the village entrance, I met the familiar Mr. Li.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxiu was covered in mud, the old man couldn't help but laugh. "Look at you! Aren't you causing trouble for the children? You're so old, but you don't know how to enjoy your retirement. You insist on going out to pick wild vegetables, causing this young couple to frantically look for you."
Zhu Yunxiu's face flashed with embarrassment, and she replied softly, "Brother Li, please don't make fun of me. I just wanted to help the children share some of the burden, but I didn't expect it to cause such a situation. Alas, I am old and useless."
The old man smiled heartily: "Who says it's not true? Once people get older, hey..."
Xu Qinghe responded to the old man with a smile and said gratefully, "I still have to thank Grandpa Li for his guidance. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would find grandma."
"Hey, those are just trivial matters!" The old man waved his hands.
Xu Qinghe exchanged a few more words with the old man, warmly invited him to visit his home when he was free, and then carefully helped Zhu Yunxiu walk towards their new home.
However, as soon as I stepped into the courtyard of my new home, the scene in front of me was surprising - the courtyard was full of people and the noise was endless.
Xu Qinghe couldn't help but feel a little confused and curious.
Xu Qinghe muttered to himself, feeling that things might not be simple, but he still moved forward to find out.
But the scene before her surprised her - Yin Xiangyang and his wife appeared in her sight with their younger sister Yin Xiaoyu, and the second eldest brother's two daughters Yin Yueyue and Jiang Xiaoye.
Yin Yueyue and Jiang Xiaoye leaned against the wall tremblingly, as if they were extremely afraid of the current atmosphere;
Yin Xiangyang and Yin Xiaoyu were at the center of the dispute. The former stood with his hands on his hips, looking aggressive; Su Qifen stood aside, adding fuel to the fire, looking like she was enjoying the fun.
"I must have this house. As a younger brother, I have to listen to my older brother!" Yin Xiangyang's voice was deafening and his attitude was extremely arrogant.
Su Qifen agreed with a smile: "Yes, Xiaoyu, you are the older sister, you have to give in to your brother."
However, Yin Xiaoyu had been spoiled since childhood and refused to show weakness. She immediately and rudely counterattacked, "Shut up! Don't think I don't know how much you're scheming. Just because my brother is around, you're getting carried away. After all, you're just an outsider!"
These words were full of disdain, and were obviously deeply influenced by certain remarks within the family, especially Xie Dichang who often warned her not to learn Su Qifen's way of dealing with people, so as not to incur other people's contempt.
At this moment, Yin Xiaoyu threw these words back to Su Qifen exactly as they were, refuting her face to face, and the situation became tense.
Su Qifen's face suddenly turned ashen. She was so embarrassed that she didn't care about maintaining superficial harmony. She suddenly pounced on Yin Xiaoyu, completely losing her usual dignified image.
"What kind of drama are you guys putting on?" Xu Qinghe helped his grandmother sit down, while he stood still, scanning the people in the room with sharp eyes, the displeasure on his face obvious.
Yin Yueyue and Jiang Xiaoye were obviously innocently involved and looked very embarrassed; as for Yin Xiangyang and the others, it was another matter, their arrogance spoke for itself.
Just as Su Qifen reached out to grab her, Yin Xiaoyu nimbly hid behind Xu Qinghe and shouted for help: "Aunt, save me!"
Xu Qinghe was a little stunned for a moment. She didn't intend to get involved in this family dispute, but Su Qifen's aggressive look clearly showed that she had no intention of giving in. She even seemed to want to use this opportunity to disadvantage her.
Although Xu Qinghe is not stupid, she is not an impulsive person either. She calmly adjusted her attitude and was ready to fight back as long as Su Qifen dared to go one step further.
Fortunately, Su Qifen seemed to realize that something was wrong. Remembering the lesson from her previous confrontation with Xu Qinghe, she did not dare to act rashly. She could only return to Yin Xiangyang in disappointment, pretending to ask for help.
Yin Xiangyang had long been deceived by Su Qifen's sweet words. At this moment, he looked at Xu Qinghe with a look full of resentment and hostility: "Don't try to bully my wife!"
There was anger in his voice, and it was obvious that he was extremely protective.
A trace of impatience flashed through Xu Qinghe's heart, but he didn't want to waste words with the person in front of him, and he didn't want to waste his eyes on Su Qifen's provocative eyes.
She turned lightly and gently pulled the bewildered Yin Xiaoyu out from behind. A hint of a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was a bit majestic: "Come on, Yin Xiaoyu, tell us, what is the real purpose of your trip?"
Yin Xiaoyu blinked her alert eyes, her eyeballs moving nimbly. "Oh, that's right. Grandma said that the old house in the countryside is too crowded. If a few of us kids squeeze in, there will probably be chaos. So, Grandma suggested that we stay with Uncle and Aunt for a while. She said that as a family, we should always help each other. Uncle and Aunt will definitely take good care of us."
She spoke sincerely, but cleverly avoided mentioning Xie Di, as if the mistress of the house was just a transparent existence, which made Xu Qinghe feel a subtle disgust in his heart.
Hearing such words, Xu Qinghe felt anger boiling in his chest, but it turned into a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
It is understandable that a few children come to visit, but if Yin Xiangyang and Su Qifen also have this intention, do they want to turn her into their personal maid, responsible for taking care of all the trivialities of the couple's life?
This idea is too absurd and a great insult to her!
"I'm sorry, but I don't provide accommodation services here. If there's nothing urgent, please take care of yourselves and don't interfere with my normal life and work here." Xu Qinghe knew very well that the Yin family's move was just an attempt to throw the first stumbling block in her life.
If we give in today, we will surely face more unreasonable demands in the future.
She is not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others. Her self-esteem and pride will not allow her to accept it.
With a gloomy face, she ordered them to leave word by word, but she didn't expect that these uninvited guests had no intention of leaving at all.
"But this is grandma's order! Do you dare to go against her wishes?"
