After washing up, He Ziqian looked as clean and refreshed as before. It was clear that he hadn't eaten well inside, as he had lost a lot of weight. His mother and sister-in-law felt sorry for him.
He's mother put another chicken leg on his plate.
One chicken leg was given to Xiao Niangao, and this one is for He Ziqian.
He Ziqian was too embarrassed to eat it and offered to give her rice cake instead.
Rice cake waved its hand: "Brother, eat. I've already eaten. I'll just have the chicken wings."
He Ziqian offered the food to He Zizhen, but He Zizhen shook her head: "I won't eat it. Big brother, eat it and replenish your energy."
"My sister has grown up and knows how to care for me," He Ziqian joked with a smile.
He Zizhen blushed: "You're only just realizing this? I'm not like you, easily fooled."
He Ziqian: "That really hurts!"
"Hmph!" He Zizhen snorted coldly.
The meal was finished amidst the siblings' bickering. Everyone was happy that he was back, and Yun Jin knew that the family could finally have some peace and quiet.
Not long after dinner, He Tingchuan called. Xiao Niangao was the most excited, knowing that nine times out of ten, the phone calls at home were from her father.
Standing on a small stool, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, is this Dad?"
Hearing his daughter's sweet, childlike voice, He Tingchuan felt a warmth in his heart: "It's me."
"Dad, have you eaten?" Little Rice Cake continued to ask.
"Have you eaten? Where's Mom?" He Tingchuan wanted to hear his wife's voice. Little Niangao wasn't angry at all. After asking her all the questions she wanted to ask, he handed the phone to Yun Jin: "Mom, Dad is looking for you. Dad misses you and wants to talk to you."
If Yun Jin weren't so thick-skinned, she would have already been embarrassed by Xiao Niangao's words.
Yun Jin didn't. Under the smiling gazes of the others, she calmly chatted with He Tingchuan for a while and then handed the phone to He Ziqian.
When He Ziqian heard his uncle ask him to answer the phone, his scalp tingled. He didn't dare not answer, so he could only reluctantly go over and take the phone: "Uncle."
He Tingchuan sneered: "You still know I'm your uncle. You know in your heart what kind of outrageous things you've done recently. You even dared to hit Doubao. For the next six months, you'll be responsible for bathing Doubao and repent properly."
He Ziqian dared not refuse and nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. He asked, "What did your uncle say?"
He Ziqian complained, "My uncle made me bathe Doubao. If Doubao didn't have to scoop poop, I probably would have been the one scooping poop."
Mrs. He snorted coldly: "It's good that you know. You really deserve to be punished. From now on, you'll be in charge of Doubao's bathing. Nian Gao will supervise. If he's not clean enough, keep bathing him!"
Little Rice Cake obeyed: "Okay!"
Little Bean Bun: Woof!
No, no, the dog refuses!
He Ziqian had only been back for two days when the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
School was out for the holidays, and Yun Jin invited Li Aimei to her home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Aimei didn't refuse and brought mooncakes and fruit. Now that she had some money, Li Aimei wasn't so stingy when buying things.
Li Aimei, unaware of Sun Sijia's situation, asked out of curiosity. When Yun Jin explained the matter to her, Li Aimei was stunned and shocked: "How could this be? It's too immoral!"
Yun Jin nodded: "A big forest has all kinds of birds."
Thinking of something, Yun Jin asked, "When you were at school, did anyone write you love letters or pursue you?"
Li Aimei blushed and said, "Yes, there are, but I don't like them."
"If you don't like him, then forget it. You should find a man you like who seems to have good character," Yun Jin advised, worried that Li Aimei might be deceived.
Li Aimei nodded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. With you and my brother as role models, no random male classmate can fool me. I definitely won't let myself suffer."
"That's good!"
After having dinner in the courtyard, when leaving, they picked a few pomegranates for Li Aimei to take with her, and gave Li Aimei two pieces of braised meat from Aunt He's mother so she could eat them tomorrow.
After watching Li Aimei board the bus back to school, Yun Jin led Xiao Niangao and Xiao Doubao home.
After taking only a few steps, Little Bean suddenly cried out.
The person hiding behind the big tree peeked out, but Doubao exposed their location, so they could only awkwardly show themselves: "Auntie."
"Don't call me aunt. You and He Ziqian have nothing to do with each other anymore. You're no longer a daughter-in-law of the He family." Yun Jin had long disliked Sun Sijia, but she didn't expect her to still have the nerve to show her face.
Desperate, Sun Sijia knelt down in front of Yun Jin with a thud: "Auntie, please, have mercy on me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have wronged Doubao."
Yun Jin rolled her eyes, grabbed Xiao Niangao, and ran past her. Kneeling is fine, does she think she can morally blackmail her?
joke!
As long as I have no morals, no one can hold me hostage.
Sun Sijia, who had been kneeling for a long time, hadn't even shed a tear when she watched the mother and daughter run away quickly with a dog, giving her no chance to complain. Sun Sijia's efforts were in vain.
Enraged, Sun Sijia smacked the dust off her knees and begged the guard to let her in, or to call He Ziqian out.
Mr. He greeted the guards and told them not to disturb Sun Sijia's family no matter what happened.
Yun Jin ran home with Xiao Niangao and Xiao Doubao. Mother He asked with a smile, "What's going on? A running race?"
Before Yun Jin could speak, Xiao Niangao blurted out, "It's that wicked sister-in-law! She's causing trouble for us at the door."
Mother He looked at Yun Jin, and Yun Jin explained what had happened.
Just then, He Ziqian came out of the shower and heard that Sun Sijia was at the gate of the compound. He frowned and said, "I'll go take a look."
Sister-in-law He was displeased: "What's so interesting about this? You two are going to get your divorce certificate after the holidays, and you'll have no relationship afterward. Don't be fooled by her."
He Ziqian shook his head: "Mom, don't worry, I will not forgive her for everything she did to me."
Sister-in-law He wanted to say something more, but after being glanced at by Mother He, she had no choice but to give up.
Not long after, He Ziqian strode out, and He Zizhen followed curiously, even calling Xiao Niangao to come and see what was going on.
Little Rice Cake wanted to go and asked Yun Jin for her opinion: "Mom, can I go out to play with my sister?"
Yun Jin looked at the eager little rice cake and nodded with one eye open and one eye closed: "Come back after playing for a while, don't run around."
Little Rice Cake nodded in assurance and ran off hand in hand with He Zizhen.
When Little Bean Bun saw this, it looked at Yun Jin with pleading eyes, its tail wagging back and forth. Its little thoughts were written all over its face. It looked at her, then at Little Rice Cake who had run away, and it was so anxious.
Yun Jin was both amused and exasperated: "You go too, keep an eye on Nian Gao, don't let him get bullied!"
Little Bean Bun let out a yelp and ran off after it.
Sister-in-law He couldn't help but exclaim, "This dog is like a spirit!"
Mother He said proudly, "That's right, Doubao is very smart. If it weren't for Nian Gao protecting him, he would have almost been beaten to death by He Ziqian."
Sister-in-law He was extremely embarrassed and said to Yun Jin, "This is all Ziqian's fault."
Yun Jin generously said, "It's all in the past. As long as Doubao is alright, that's all that matters. Ziqian also misjudged people. Fortunately, the truth has come out now, and no one was wronged. Ziqian is also willing to apologize and accept punishment, so let's not bring this up again."
Mother He nodded, quite satisfied with the harmonious relationship between the sisters-in-law.
On Yunjin's side, the family was enjoying a happy time together.
He Ziqian wasn't so lucky.
