When Sun Sijia returned from her parents' home, Yun Jin and the others were still awake.
Little Bean heard the noise and barked.
Sun Sijia was startled: "You damn dog, don't bark! You scared me to death!"
Little Bean Bun recognized Sun Sijia's voice and immediately stopped barking.
Sun Sijia, holding her nearly nine-month pregnant belly, complained to He Ziqian, "Why is this damn dog back again? Can't we just leave it at the camp? Bringing a dog around like this, barking all the time, what if it scares someone?"
Yun Jin happened to overhear Sun Sijia's complaint and said, "Sorry, I'll keep an eye on Xiaodoubao. Is your stomach alright?"
Sun Sijia was surprised to see Yun Jin and gave an awkward smile: "My stomach is fine, Auntie's back!"
"It's good that your stomach is alright. The dog is ignorant and just thought there was a thief in the house. It was just a reminder. Don't take it personally." Yun Jin already had everything she needed to say.
Sun Sijia's smile was a little forced: "Auntie is right. It's just an animal. How could I possibly argue with it?"
Yun Jin was satisfied and patted Doubao's head: "You can't call them that randomly anymore. As long as they're family, you're not allowed to be mean, understand?"
Little Bean Bun barked once to indicate that it understood.
Yun Jin touched her head: "Alright, go to sleep!"
Little Bean immediately went back to its nest to sleep.
Yun Jin thought He Tingchuan was almost done with his work, so she called him. He Tingchuan was waiting for her call. The couple chatted for a few minutes before Xiao Niangao snatched the phone away. The father and daughter chatted for a while before Yun Jin finally let them hang up.
He Tingchuan told Yun Jin, "I'll be on a mission in a few days, so it won't be convenient for me to answer the phone then."
"Be careful." Yun Jin thought for a moment. There hadn't been any wars this year, so there was no need to worry too much.
It's next year...
Yun Jin tried not to overthink it. There were some things she couldn't change, and she couldn't assume she could do whatever she wanted just because she was in a book.
Thinking of her previous experiences, Yun Jin narrowed her eyes.
Even if we can't change it, we can prevent it!
In the end, Yun Jin decided to mention it to He Tingchuan after the New Year.
The next day, Yun Jin went to school, and Xiao Niangao was handed over to Aunt He. Having experienced the previous semester, Xiao Niangao was not so sad after parting, knowing that she would come back in the evening.
When Yun Jin arrived at school, almost everyone else had already arrived. After registering and picking up their books, she sat down with He Lifang.
After returning to school and adjusting for a week, the weekend finally arrived.
It's not so hot in Beijing right now. Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao out to play and even went to the Children's Palace. Xiao Niangao is still young, so she was happy with everything she played and thought everything she ate was delicious.
When Yun Jin goes to school, Xiao Niangao is taken care of by Mama He. They either play in the compound or in their own yard.
Little Rice Cake and Little Bean Bun were sitting on the swing in the yard. Little Bean Bun even knew how to push Little Rice Cake. Little Rice Cake was sitting on the swing, and Little Bean Bun jumped up and pushed Little Rice Cake out.
When Sun Sijia saw Xiao Niangao go to the toilet, she tried to sit on the swing, but she didn't sit properly and fell off, which startled her.
Stunned by the fall, Sun Sijia felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Once she realized what was happening, she immediately cried out, "Mom and Dad, help! Waaah, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much!"
When Mrs. He heard the commotion, she ran out and saw Sun Sijia clutching her stomach, looking like she was in pain. She panicked and asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts! Take me to the hospital quickly, Grandma, save me!" Sun Sijia cried, terrified.
Soon, Sun Sijia was taken to the hospital. Xiao Niangao and Xiao Doubao were taken by He's father. They couldn't take Niangao to the hospital; someone had to be at home.
Yun Jin rode her bike home from school and noticed that He's mother wasn't home. She heard Xiao Niangao say, "Sister-in-law had a stomachache and went to the hospital."
Yun Jin thought she was about to give birth and didn't pay attention for a moment.
She told Mr. He that they were going out to eat that night because she didn't want to cook and was afraid that her cooking skills were not good enough and she might upset their stomachs.
Just as they were packing up to leave, they suddenly heard Doubao scream.
Yun Jin immediately ran out and saw He Ziqian holding a stick as thick as an arm, desperately hitting Xiao Doubao. Xiao Niangao screamed in terror, "Doubao, run!"
Yun Jin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Ignoring everything else, she ran over to protect Doubao: "Stop! Are you crazy? Why are you hitting my dog?"
"It deserves to die! That beast! I fed it so well, and it almost caused my wife to lose her baby! It almost killed my son!" He Ziqian's face was contorted with rage and murderous intent.
Yun Jin frowned: "What are you talking about? Isn't your wife about to give birth?"
He Ziqian shouted angrily, "Auntie, get away from me and let me kill it! If it hadn't pushed my wife, she wouldn't be lying in the hospital now. The baby isn't even full-term yet, and they say they need to save the pregnancy. If they can't save it, they'll have to deliver it via C-section."
Yun Jin focused on the key point: "Your wife said it was my dog that pushed it?"
He Ziqian nodded, gritting his teeth: "I'm going to eat dog meat tonight."
Doubao was in pain and hid behind Xiaoniangao, whimpering in fear, seeking protection. It could tell that this person really wanted to kill it.
Little Rice Cake protected Little Bean Bun, crying as she hugged Bean Bun: "Don't hit Bean Bun! Bean Bun is a good dog, it's not Bean Bun's fault!"
Yun Jin defended the dog: "Calm down first. Why would the dog push your wife? Tell me the whole story."
He Ziqian was furious: "What else is there to say? This beast deliberately did something bad. He pushed my wife from behind, which caused her to fall and injure her stomach. She is still in the hospital receiving treatment."
"If Doubao pushed him and someone really fell, I have nothing to say." Yun Jin knew that Doubao wasn't a bad dog, but unfortunately there was no surveillance footage, so she didn't know what happened. Dogs can't talk, but people can lie.
