Brother He and Sister-in-law He were heartbroken to see that the whole family was siding with Yun Jin and didn't care about He Ziqian's life or death at all.
Especially Brother He: "Dad, Mom, are you really just going to stand by and watch me die?"
Yun Jin said sarcastically, "Don't worry, he won't die from robbery. At most, he'll serve a few years in jail to reflect on his actions and start anew, so that he won't be released and become a threat to society, robbing whoever has money."
"If he can rob me today, he'll dare to rob a bank tomorrow. Your son is something else; you need to educate him properly!"
Yun Jin is a woman who can be very hurtful.
Brother He glared fiercely at Yun Jin: "Do you have the right to speak when I'm talking to my parents?"
Little Rice Cake stood protectively in front of Yun Jin, looking fiercely cute: "You're not allowed to yell at my mom, or I'll tell my dad and he'll beat you up! Don't think you can bully people just because my dad isn't home!"
Reminded by Xiao Niangao, Brother He thought of He Tingchuan's younger brother. If he knew what He Ziqian had done, it would be fortunate that he was arrested, otherwise He Tingchuan would have beaten him to death.
He didn't dare to cause trouble for Yun Jin for a moment. He just glared at Xiao Niangao, holding Da Bao and Xiao Bao in his arms, and called to Sister-in-law He: "Let's go back. Don't come to your parents' place anymore. Since your parents don't care about their eldest grandson and are biased in protecting their mother and daughter, we won't come to see you anymore."
This is a threat to the elderly couple, threatening not to provide for their care and funeral arrangements.
Mr. He's parents understood. Mr. He was furious: "Fine, from today onwards, you are no longer my son. Once you walk out this door, whether I live or die is none of your business!"
Brother He was just bluffing; he didn't really mean it.
Who knew that Mr. He took it seriously, and he threatened to kick them out of the house: "Don't ever show your face in front of me again, and I don't want you to see me off when I die!"
Mrs. He didn't say a word the whole time, which can be taken as tacit agreement with what Mr. He said.
After Brother He and Sister-in-law He left, the house became quiet. Little Niangao was a kind-hearted girl, and she took the initiative to hug her father, saying, "Grandpa, don't be sad. You still have me, Grandma, and Mom and Dad. I will be filial to you. I will grow up quickly, earn money for Grandpa, and buy him delicious food."
Mr. He smiled as he was coaxed, and patted Little Rice Cake's head: "Yes, I still have Rice Cake. Rice Cake will be filial to Grandpa in the future!"
The little rice cake nodded emphatically.
Seeing this, Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the old man might do something rash.
It seems she worried for nothing.
That day, Mr. and Mrs. He were not in the mood to go out, and the family stayed at home to rest.
He Zizhen made plans to go out with her classmates early in the morning, but when she came back, she found that something was wrong. Only then did He's parents realize that He Zizhen was unaware of all the things that had happened at home.
Mother He didn't hide anything from He Zizhen and told her what had happened that day. He Zizhen's expression changed several times: "Is Auntie alright?"
“Your aunt is fine, but your older brother and sister-in-law have been arrested and are going to jail. Your parents came to our house and made a scene. They’ve now cut ties with us. Your grandparents know that you are you and they are them.”
From the moment He Zizhen's first words were about caring for her aunt, Mother He knew that her eldest granddaughter was someone who could distinguish right from wrong.
He Zizhen couldn't hold back her tears: "How could my parents do this? It was my eldest brother who did wrong, how can they blame my aunt? What did my aunt do wrong? They were all harmed by my eldest brother."
Just then, Yun Jin came downstairs, and He Zizhen immediately apologized: "Auntie, I'm sorry. My parents and my older brother treated you that way. They were wrong. Please don't be angry with them."
Yun Jin said expressionlessly, "It's not like you wronged me, why are you apologizing? You are you, and your parents, your older brother, and they are them."
"Unless you treat me as an outsider and them as your own family, then you won't feel that their mistakes are related to you."
He Zizhen said with shame, "After all, they are my parents."
Yun Jin asked, "If your parents asked you to plead for your older brother, would you do it?"
He Zizhen shook her head repeatedly: "No, my elder brother deserved what he got."
"Alright, you and your parents are not on the same path. If your older brother had half your moral compass, he wouldn't have done such a thing. Your parents' issues are our issues, so don't blame yourself. Just be yourself."
He Zizhen was moved: "Auntie, I still want to say sorry."
Yun Jin readily agreed: "I forgive you."
He Zizhen felt much better after being forgiven.
Around six o'clock in the evening, He Tingchuan called right on time.
Little Rice Cake answered the phone; she was waiting to receive a call from her father!
Yun Jin forbade Xiao Niangao from calling to complain, so Xiao Niangao waited patiently, and she actually caught her.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Niangao said excitedly and angrily, "Dad, when are you coming back? Please come back soon! Something terrible has happened at home! My older brother is a bad guy. He's trying to kidnap me and blackmail Mom for 500,000 yuan!"
He Tingchuan's expression changed, but before he could speak, Xiao Niangao couldn't wait to start babbling on and on, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube: "Today they even robbed Mom on the way here, but luckily Mom called the police and they were all arrested!"
He Tingchuan: "?"
“My uncle and aunt came to our house to cause trouble. My mother and aunt got into a fight. Luckily, my mother didn’t lose and beat my aunt until she bled. My aunt took her anger out on me and tried to kill me, but my mother saved me.”
He Tingchuan: "?"
"My uncle even severed ties with my grandparents, saying he wouldn't take care of them anymore. Fine, I'll take care of them when I grow up. As for my parents, I don't want them to take care of me!"
He Tingchuan: "???"
