He Zizhen trembled in fright when He Tingchuan yelled at her.
In this family, she feared no one except her younger brother-in-law.
Now that he's yelling at her and demanding an apology, He Zizhen is clearly unwilling, but he still has no choice but to lower her head under his gaze. She awkwardly and aggrievedly says to Yun Jin, "I'm sorry, Auntie."
Yun Jin wasn't one to hold a grudge: "It's alright. You're still a child. Just make amends and don't hurt people so easily in the future. If I really hurt someone badly, it won't just be an apology."
Yun Jin threatened He Zizhen: "It's possible that you'll be sent to a juvenile detention center."
He Zizhen's expression changed, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Yun Jin said innocently, "I didn't say you did it on purpose."
Their eyes met, but He Zizhen was still too inexperienced. Her gaze darted away, and she felt guilty and dared not meet his eyes. She awkwardly looked away and ran away.
Yun Jin looked at Sister-in-law He: "Sister-in-law, you should start educating your children early. I don't want Nian Gao to have a not-so-honest older sister."
Sister-in-law He was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is perfectly fine. Don't slander her."
Yun Jin shrugged: "Instead of trying to protect your daughter, you should discipline her properly. Today I'm the one who fell, but who knows who will fall tomorrow? Even if you don't like me, don't resort to these underhanded tactics."
Sister-in-law He broke down in tears: "Mom, look what she said about your eldest granddaughter!"
"Was she wrong? Zizhen needs to be properly educated." Mother He wasn't blind; she knew she hadn't seen her play with marbles in ages, so why did she suddenly decide to play with them today?
So that's what they were waiting for!
This child has a rather malicious mind!
If it weren't for the fact that I stepped on my youngest daughter-in-law today, if she were alive, my old man and I would both be in our sixties or seventies. How could we withstand such a fall?
I glanced at He Tingchuan's cool-looking rolled-up pants leg; his knees were red and swollen from being bumped.
Mother He said, "We have some medicinal wine at home. Try applying it. If it gets serious, go to the hospital to see an orthopedic doctor. You can't just endure it."
Yun Jin nodded.
He Tingchuan blew on it tenderly, asking, "Does it hurt?"
Yun Jin smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt too much."
Little Rice Cake hugged her with teary eyes, offering silent comfort.
Sister-in-law He felt like a clown. She said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry!"
Yun Jin laughed and said, "It's alright. I'm young, so a few bumps and bruises are nothing. But if Mom and Dad were to fall and hurt themselves, it wouldn't be just a matter of a bottle of medicated oil. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful!"
Sister-in-law He looked displeased and stormed back home. A short while later, He Zizhen's screams rang out: "Waaah, Mom, please stop hitting me! I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again! How was I supposed to know I'd be stepped on..."
Yun Jin didn't care if he still refused to admit it at this point.
Whether Sister-in-law He really hit the child or not, He Zizhen's crying sounded quite pitiful.
On Yun Jin's side, after receiving the medicated oil, He Tingchuan rubbed it on for her with his large hands. The pressure was a bit too strong, causing Yun Jin to gasp in pain. He Tingchuan said, "Bear with the pain. The medicated oil won't work if you don't apply pressure."
Yun Jin held Xiao Niangao in her arms. Xiao Niangao had tears in her eyes and pressed her against Yun Jin's neck, as if she felt sorry for her.
With her daughter feeling sorry for her, Yun Jin didn't feel so much pain.
That night, after Yun Jin fell asleep, He Tingchuan checked her knees. He noticed that the swelling had subsided considerably, but the bruising had also decreased. His deep eyes were filled with heartache, and he was so angry that he wanted to personally beat He Zizhen up.
The next morning, when he ran into Brother He, He Tingchuan said with a cold face, "Come on, let's chat for a bit."
Brother He knew his purpose and took the initiative to apologize: "I heard about Zizhen's matter from your sister-in-law. Is your sister-in-law alright? This child was neglected by your elder brother. I will teach her properly in the future. Please don't be angry."
He Tingchuan sneered: "Don't just talk the talk. If we don't teach them a lesson now, who knows what kind of harm they'll do to society in the future. Big brother, you'd better pay attention!"
After being scolded and reprimanded by his younger brother, Brother He didn't dare to utter a word. Only after his brother left did he touch his nose, shake his head, and sigh, "This is all a debt owed to my children!"
Yun Jin thought that after what happened yesterday, He Zizhen had been taken back, but who knew she was still staying with He's parents. Her calves were covered in bruises, which she deliberately showed to He's parents.
Upon seeing Yun Jin, he greeted her in a dry, "Little Aunt."
Yun Jin nodded: "The injury is quite serious. Your mother was really ruthless."
He Zizhen rolled her eyes inwardly: "I know I was wrong. Auntie, please don't mention this again. My mom almost beat me to death."
Yun Jin chuckled, "You can't kill someone by hitting their calf, don't worry. As long as you're well-behaved and don't cause trouble, your mother won't hit you for no reason, right?"
He Zizhen: "......"
"Although I don't know why you are so hostile towards me, you don't need to care too much. Anyway, your uncle and I will not get divorced. I will be your aunt for life. Even if you can't stand me, try to overcome it. After all, we will be relatives for life."
Having successfully made He Zizhen depressed, Yun Jin happily went to find He Tingchuan. He took the child out to play, not knowing who he was showing off to.
When Mother He saw Yun Jin, she asked her how her injuries were.
Yun Jin imitated He Zizhen, deliberately showing her mother He her bruised knee: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, it'll be fine in a few days!"
The shocking bruises made He's mother gasp: "You're still not in pain even after all this? I'm sorry you've suffered like this. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"I love everything Mom makes!" Yun Jin knows how to make people happy.
I was worried that Yun Jin's legs might be uncomfortable, so she's resting at home today.
Yun Jin and the others really don't have many holidays left.
The next day, He arranged to go hiking with his parents. Everyone else was either at school or at work and had no time, so He Tingchuan arranged a car through his connections and drove the family out for food and fun.
