Su Qifen's face was full of self-righteous pride, but in a flash, she felt that marrying into the Yin family was not all good, especially when she realized that Yin Yunjie alone was supporting the weight of the Yin family, and the pressure was enough to suffocate her.
As Yin Yunjie's wife, she not only failed to enjoy any glory, but instead served every member of this big family like a loyal old servant all the time.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: perhaps marrying Yin Xiangyang would be a better choice.
"How about this, when my uncle comes back, we'll go find grandpa and grandma to confirm this. From what I know about my sensible mother-in-law, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Who knows, maybe someone is just acting on their own initiative in the name of the elders."
Xu Qinghe did not intend to confront them head-on before Yin Yunjie returned. Doing so would not only fail to solve the problem, but would put himself in an unfavorable position.
In this village, reputation is like a person's second face, and it is not good to have a bad reputation.
The new house has not been tidied up yet, and the things in Zhu Yunxiu's room are still in a mess.
Xu Qinghe looked around, and those uninvited guests standing in the yard suddenly became labor in her eyes.
"Yin Xiangyang, take your wife and younger sister to help me move things. After you finish the work, I will give you some sweet treats."
Su Qifen was shocked. This sudden arrangement caught her off guard.
Before she could even open her mouth to protest, Yin Xiangyang was already eager to try: "Okay! Where are we going to move our things?"
Xu Qinghe raised a meaningful smile, his eyes piercing Su Qifen as he said directly to Yin Xiangyang, "Let your wife lead the way and move all the things from her grandmother's room here."
Su Qifen was burning with anger, and before she could refute, Yin Xiangyang impatiently pulled her away.
Yin Xiaoyu and others followed closely behind, fearing that they would be too slow and end up having no candy.
In this way, in a busy manner, all the items in Zhu Yunxiu's room were moved out, even the bed and small cabinets.
Xu Qinghe looked at the orderly scene before him and sighed with satisfaction.
Yes, this is how we should treat these children properly.
In order to commend their hard work, Xu Qinghe generously gave each of them three candies as a reward, but to Su Qifen, who was obviously lazy and had an unhappy face, he only gave one candy stingily.
With her, there is no benefit in being lazy.
Su Qifen's face turned pale with anger, and her voice was filled with undisguised anger: "Xu Qinghe, what do you mean by this?"
What she cared about was not the candies, but Xu Qinghe's discriminatory treatment, which made her lose face in public, especially the way Yin Xiaoyu playfully stuck out her tongue at her, which added fuel to the fire.
Xu Qinghe said calmly, "When do I need to explain my actions to you? Your duty is to obey, not to question."
Su Qifen was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.
Xu Qinghe's condescending attitude as an elder always made her feel annoyed and helpless.
This is not just a simple issue of generation, it is more like an invisible wall that suppresses her tightly and makes it difficult for her to breathe.
Just at this moment, Yin Yunjie stepped into the yard, and the noise from the house immediately reached his ears. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yin Xiaoyu hurried forward and told Yin Yunjie everything about the negotiation with Xu Qinghe.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yunjie's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Go back first, I will take care of things tonight."
His tone was light, but powerful.
Faced with Yin Yunjie's majesty, no one dared to say anything. They just exchanged glances and then dispersed.
Xu Qinghe smiled brightly and winked playfully at Yin Yunjie, her words tinged with pride. "I only spent a few candies to get them to help me move my home here. Tonight, we can have dinner together and sleep peacefully. You go and prepare the pheasant first, and I'll take care of dinner. I'll tell you all about this interesting scene later."
She had been so engrossed in dealing with the children that she hadn't had the chance to mention her conversation with her grandmother and her plans until now.
Xu Qinghe firmly believes that husband and wife should be honest with each other and have no secrets.
Yin Yunjie couldn't help but feel a little happy about her proactive sharing.
He didn't need to know everything, but this proactive trust warmed his heart.
After the bed was properly made, Xu Qinghe gently helped the old man to rest.
The unpleasantness just now hung over the hearts of the two generations, especially Xu Qinghe. When he learned that his grandmother was willing to take such a risk for him, he could not suppress the emotion in his heart.
She reflected on her impulsive behavior of venting her emotions on the old man and felt full of guilt.
While everyone was helping to move, Xu Qinghe quickly treated his grandmother's external injuries and ensured that her wounds were properly cared for.
The food was ready, and in order not to let her grandmother get tired, she personally brought the meal to the bedside and served the old woman meticulously.
At the Yin family's old house, the neighbors who had been expecting the children to move into their new home smoothly became confused when they saw them turn back.
"Didn't I tell you to live in the new house? Why are you back again?" Xie Di stared at Su Qifen with obvious dissatisfaction in her eyes.
In her opinion, her own son was dull, her youngest daughter was too young, and her second eldest son's child could not be relied upon. Therefore, all her hopes were placed on Su Qifen alone.
Once things go against one's wishes, the blame naturally falls on Su Qifen's shoulders.
Su Qifen felt both aggrieved and angry. She was scolded for no reason, which made her feel that her life was really depressing.
"Yes... my uncle said that we can't stay for the time being and asked us to come back. He said that he would come in person to explain everything in the evening." She almost called out Yin Yunjie's name directly, but in front of everyone, she hurriedly changed her words and covered it up with a more respectful name.
Xie Di's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile, and she turned to Old Lady Yin and said, "Mother, look at how the third son is getting more and more outrageous. As an uncle, he built a new house, but he can't even let his nephews and nieces stay for a night? Even though the family has been divided, we are still connected by blood. Are we really going to cut off contact until we die?"
Xie Di doesn't care about any big principles. What she cares about is whether her son and daughter can live in the new house.
She was thinking that when Xu Qinghe left with the army in the future, the new house would naturally belong to her son.
Old Mrs. Yin didn't care at first. After all, when her eldest daughter-in-law mentioned this matter, she had already expected that the third daughter-in-law would most likely not agree.
It was also within her expectations that the children would be driven back.
However, after being instigated by her eldest daughter-in-law, Old Lady Yin also began to feel that the third son had gone a little too far this time.
Splitting up the family does not mean severing all ties. What's wrong with letting nephews and nieces stay with you for a night?
