Yun Jin wouldn't give Sun Sijia a chance to argue. She opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and saw that more than half of the watermelon that had been cut up and not finished was missing. Yun Jin asked, "Did you eat the watermelon?"
Sun Sijia denied it: "No."
He Zizhen exposed her: "Sister-in-law is lying, I saw you eat it."
Sun Sijia denied it: "That was what I ate before, I didn't eat it tonight."
He Zizhen asserted, "You ate it last night. I saw you throw the watermelon rind outside."
As she spoke, she took a flashlight and went out to look for watermelons, and sure enough, she found three pieces of watermelon rind.
They cut too much and couldn't bear to throw it away, so they put it in the refrigerator to eat tomorrow. Who knew that Sun Sijia, who was half-asleep, saw it, ate the iced watermelon and got diarrhea, and now she's blaming the barbecue for being unclean.
Sun Sijia: "......"
He Ziqian: "......."
Yun Jin wouldn't show them any mercy: "See? It's your own wife who got diarrhea from eating the wrong things, not my barbecue. From now on, your wife shouldn't eat anything I make. Also, apologize to me."
Yun Jin is not someone to be trifled with.
She was wrong, and she admitted it.
She did nothing wrong; she should at least offer a basic apology.
Sun Sijia's eyes were red with grievance: "How was I supposed to know it was from eating watermelon? Who told you to cut so much watermelon?"
Mrs. He laughed angrily: "I was wrong to cut the watermelon, it's not like we put it in your mouth. Sijia, if you don't apologize today, not only will your aunt be unhappy, but I will be unhappy too."
Seeing his angry mother, He Ziqian immediately apologized: "Grandma, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have blamed Auntie. Auntie, you're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against us."
Yun Jin glanced at him indifferently, while He Ziqian gave her a fawning smile.
Yun Jin didn't want to talk to an idiot. What was there to say to someone who was being cuckolded?
She looked at Sun Sijia, who was waiting for He Ziqian to step forward and was trying to cover it up: "What about you? Aren't you going to apologize?"
Caught in a difficult situation, Sun Sijia reluctantly apologized under the relentless gazes of Yun Jin and the others: "Grandma, I was wrong. I shouldn't have blamed you for not knowing the situation. Aunt, I'm sorry."
Then, clutching her stomach, she ran to the bathroom, saying, "My stomach hurts, it hurts so much!"
Mother He gave Yun Jin a look that suggested she try to smooth things over.
Yun Jin decided not to pursue the matter further, since Sun Sijia had apologized.
Mr. He said it was getting late and everyone should get some rest, and that this farce would be over for tonight.
He Ziqian didn't believe it. He thought, how could watermelon make him sick? He ate the rest of the small plate of cut watermelon. How could it go bad if it was put in the refrigerator?
It must be because the barbecue was unclean, otherwise his wife wouldn't have gotten an upset stomach.
Just before dawn, He Ziqian ran to the toilet several times, his legs were so weak from the diarrhea that he knocked on his parents' door and said weakly, "Grandpa, help! My stomach hurts so much!"
Mr. and Mrs. He: "......"
Yun Jin's train is in the afternoon, so she spent the morning tidying up at home.
When He Ziqian saw his parents return home in the morning, and noticed that they looked unwell, he asked, "What's wrong?"
He Ziqian looked embarrassed.
Sun Sijia was too embarrassed to say it.
Mrs. He didn't hold back: "What else could have happened? I don't know what he was thinking. He knew that the watermelon couldn't be eaten overnight, but he didn't believe it. We told him to throw the watermelon away, but he was greedy and ate it all himself. He woke us up early this morning to take him to the hospital."
Yun Jin laughed gleefully: "Did you eat something bad?"
He Ziqian nodded awkwardly.
Yun Jin looked at Sun Sijia: "Now you're not blaming me for the barbecue, are you?"
Sun Sijia lowered her head awkwardly: "Auntie, please don't make fun of us. We will never eat leftover watermelon again. Once it's cut, we have to finish it. We were fine before, so why did we get diarrhea last night?"
Yun Jin chuckled: "You don't think I poisoned him, do you?"
Sun Sijia was surprised, but looked like she believed it.
He Ziqian smiled ingratiatingly: "What are you saying, Aunt? I'm not that kind of person. It's just that the watermelon was unclean, it has nothing to do with me."
Yun Jin gave Sun Sijia a meaningful look and decided to go out and buy a lock to lock their room.
And she can't possibly take her gold bars and jewelry to the base.
Yun Jin didn't dare stay at home like that; she could tell that Sun Sijia was no good.
The fact that she can get pregnant and find someone to take her place, and that she uses her pregnancy to cause trouble, shows that she's not a woman with any moral compass.
Yun Jin bought several locks and locked her valuables in a locked box, layer upon layer.
Thieves can't sneak into the compound unless they're inside the family.
The locked treasure box was placed in the wardrobe, which had two locks, and then the bedroom door was locked as well.
Yun Jin gave a key to the room to Mrs. He so that Mrs. He could come and go easily, and sometimes she would need Mrs. He to help with cleaning or something.
What Yun Jin didn't know was that a few days after she and Xiao Niangao went to the camp, Sun Sijia tentatively mentioned that He Ziqian snored while sleeping, and because she was heavily pregnant, she couldn't sleep well and would wake up frequently at night, thinking that the room upstairs was empty.
Sun Sijia said, "I'll stay for a few days, and then I'll move down when my aunt and the others come back. Anyway, it's just empty."
Mrs. He immediately refused: "Even if it's empty, it's still their room, and no one can stay there."
Sun Sijia didn't expect He's mother to be so decisive. She was unhappy inside, but she looked aggrieved on the outside: "Okay then, I'll definitely fail the next prenatal checkup. The doctor said pregnant women need to rest well."
Mother He knew exactly what she was thinking: "If you don't want to go to bed, take a bucket to your room. If you don't like Ziqian snoring, make him sleep on the sofa in the living room."
