Seeing this, Shen Yunsheng immediately pressed his advantage: "Father, Hongyu is right. We cannot abandon our principles just because we are afraid of power. Besides, Hongyu's matter has been resolved, and Master Huang has not blamed us."
Xiao Jingchuan chimed in, "Yes, Father, please stop worrying about it. If we were the ones in trouble, you would definitely want others to help us."
Xiao Wenjing was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright, since it's over, let's put it aside for now. However, you should think twice before you act in the future and avoid causing trouble."
Shen Yunsheng and Xiao Jingchuan exchanged a smile and nodded in agreement.
Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Shen Yunsheng gratefully and decided that she would be as brave and strong as her in the future.
When Xiao Jingchuan left home in the morning, he didn't eat anything. He wanted to take his father and wife to Yunkedu for a meal and to celebrate Li Hongyu's rebirth.
“Dad, it’s almost lunchtime. How about we go to Yunke Ferry for a drink?” Xiao Jingchuan said, stepping forward to help his father.
Xiao Jingchuan felt conflicted because his father had worked hard all his life, only to have his efforts benefit others. He felt sorry for his father's sacrifices, but also helpless and dissatisfied with some of his father's actions.
This complex emotion made him both love and hate his father.
Upon hearing that he was to go to Yunke Ferry, Xiao Wenjing immediately thought of money and thought to himself: Isn't this going to kill me? I only have a few coins in my pocket!
So he quickly said, "Chuan'er, let's save some money. Let's just find a roadside stall and buy some steamed buns to fill our stomachs. Yunke Ferry is notoriously expensive; the minimum charge is several hundred coins. We can't afford it." After saying that, Xiao Wenjing patted his empty pockets, looking pitiful.
"Dad, don't worry, it's my treat today."
Xiao Jingchuan felt even more sorry for his five relatives. He worked so hard to earn money, but he didn't even dare to go out to eat.
“You’ll have to spend money to treat us, so let’s not go.” Xiao Wenjing smiled bitterly to himself. Who doesn’t want to eat well? His main concern was that his son would spend all the money and then have to put up with his daughter-in-law’s temper.
Shen Yunsheng was also hungry. Seeing that her father-in-law didn't want to go to Yunke Ferry, she suggested that they go to a nearby restaurant for a bowl of noodles, since she couldn't afford it at her current level.
"Sister Yunsheng, Baiji mutton rice noodles are delicious, we can go eat mutton rice noodles."
Li Hongyu wanted to treat everyone to a bowl of noodles, and before she could finish speaking, Shen Yunsheng agreed to go eat noodles.
Xiao Jingchuan and his son also agreed to go eat rice noodles. They walked for fifteen minutes and arrived at their destination.
Once inside the store, the four of them found an empty seat and sat down.
Soon, four bowls of fragrant mutton rice noodles were served.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but swallow as she smelled the aroma.
Shen Yunsheng smiled and picked up his chopsticks: "Eat up!"
The group ate and chatted, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the next table.
Shen Yunsheng looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that it was Yang Pozi and Xiao Wenkai's daughter, Xiao Zhenzhu.
What a small world! What are they doing here?
