Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from last time, I told my younger brothers and sisters everything in detail, but I was afraid that they wouldn't understand when I tried to explain it indirectly! Oh no, I wasn't afraid that they wouldn't understand, I was afraid that my aunt, who had been glaring at me in the corner, wouldn't understand. Children at home who have been carefully brought up are naturally outstanding, but those who are not brought up are hard to say.

Tsk, I was impolite. How could I say that to my elders? Never mind. I just kept it in my heart.

It will be easy from now on. Zening and Shuyi looked at each other. They didn't care about whether the bones were broken or not. They immediately applied what I said, "blood suppression". Zening slapped Shuyi on the arm: "Why don't you eat? It's cold! Can this disease be cured?"

"It will be fine, it will be fine. Eat now." Shu Yi quickly agreed, and took a chopstick of meat and fed it to his sister: "Sister, you don't need to nourish your lungs, but you have to nourish your heart. How can you be so cruel to your brother? You beat me as soon as we met. You don't feel sorry for me at all..."

"Tsk, how can you say that about your cousin? She might break Brother Shu Yu's legs later." Zening immediately added, glancing at me faintly. Shu Yi also understood and covered his mouth with his hand in an exaggerated manner.

I almost choked on my food. They were a family, but they started to make fun of me. They were so cunning. I could never catch up with their appearance. There was a generation gap between us, as we were several years apart. Their new brains were really useful.

Seeing that they were both calm, I felt relieved, laughed along, and quickly arranged food and drinks for Yangyang and Jinjin who were growling with hunger. Seeing that my aunt was still sitting there motionless, I felt embarrassed for her and didn't want to spoil her fun, so I stood up to serve her portion myself. Then my uncle came back, and he bowed along with Zening.

My uncle frowned at me as if he had seen a ghost, and after a long while he said, "What's going on? You're so polite. Do you have something to ask of me?"

I was petrified on the spot, pouting: "It's not okay to be polite or not, you're really hard to please..."

"The little guy has learned to talk quickly. It seems that being both a father and a mother in the eldest son's family has been really hard in the past few years. Not only has he become a superhuman, but he has also grown ten mouths. It's a cause for celebration." My uncle came over and tapped my forehead, then turned around and hung his coat on the rack.

I puffed my cheeks helplessly, and a few heartless brats covered their mouths and laughed at me. I bared my teeth to scare them, but when I thought about it carefully, I really couldn't... ahem, there's no need to bother with my uncle.

Chengcheng just told me about her reconciliation with Lulu. To avoid any more trouble, I have to go and propose marriage. But after all, I am just a sister, not much older than Chengcheng. I caused a lot of trouble before, so how can I get to know her parents? I have already found the elder relatives of the Lu family, and there must be one from the Fu family. Apart from my second uncle, I can only ask my younger uncle to come forward.

Otherwise, do I have to go to the prison to get Lu Yinyin out or rescue my second uncle from my second grandmother's funeral? It would be even more inappropriate to ask my "third uncle" for help. It's really difficult for me. After a few years, this matter can be regarded as a joke.

As for Chengcheng, I just hope he won't be so disappointing and wait until I have everything ready before he causes trouble for me.

Thinking of this, I also smiled and turned to busy myself with some business. In front of everyone, I gave my aunt some more preferential treatment as an apology. Without the help of my aunt, I just rolled up my sleeves and put the most sumptuous meals in front of her one by one. I even offered the chopsticks with both hands: "Aunt, you have been tired for a few days. I specially asked Xiyuan to make your favorite."

"The eldest lady has been talking for a long time. She only remembered me when she was almost done with her meal. Is she really too busy? Can this word be used to describe it? I don't quite understand." The young aunt stared at me and chuckled.

I was naturally more respectful, I bent my waist, gently placed the tableware on the table, and folded my hands on my belly: "Aunt, I was ignorant before, but now I am a mother, and the first thing I understand is to put the children first. I am too rigid, please forgive me."

There was a noise behind me, and I turned sideways to look. Zening and Shu Yi were really protecting me. Zening was quick and stood up to bow and apologize to her mother like an outsider. Shu Yi was still struggling, which scared my aunt, but was pushed back by my uncle, who then came over and pulled me to a corner.

"Okay, you know your aunt has this kind of temper, why are you still angry with her?" My uncle leaned close to my ear and said, "In fact, you should have heard of this symptom. It's called menopause."

"I'm still in my rebellious phase!" I slapped my uncle in a low voice, stomped my feet angrily and walked out and came back: "You always tell me to be patient, am I a punching bag? You should coax your own wife!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry." My uncle followed me and persuaded me. I saw that he also glanced at my aunt meaningfully, and immediately my anger disappeared. But the next moment, I saw my aunt covering her sleeves and crying, and I felt really depressed.

All of this is my "fault", and I will have to pay for it in the future. What sin have I committed? I finally married into a wealthy family, but I have to run into such an opponent.

I lowered my eyebrows and sighed. Zhizhi kept feeding me meat. Didn't I love food so much before because I had nothing? Why do you still feed me now? I am a pig! I quickly waved my hands to ask him to be quiet. Li Xi blocked Jinjin's eyes to prevent her rolling eyes from being too obvious. In such a "people and horses are thrown to the ground", my Yangyang was able to keep his composure. He really learned his sister's demeanor of being as calm as a mountain——

I was just about to feel proud for a while, but the kid immediately put me on the spot, pointed outside the door and asked me to look: "Sister, it seems someone is looking for you."

Well, it turned out that the shadow outside the window attracted his attention, and he didn't hear our quarrel at all...

My uncle finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost forgot about this. Shishi, those people said they were here to send invitations. I don't know why they were so formal. You can handle it as you wish."

"Invitation?" I shrugged and asked my uncle to sit down first: "Uncle, you eat first. Now that they are here, they can just come in and talk. There are no outsiders here." I signaled Li Xi to let them in and took the opportunity to wipe the corners of my mouth to maintain my ladylike elegance.

Just as I lowered my head, I saw a black row in front of me. There were some figures outside. I estimated that there were seven or eight of them. It was quite a big scene. Their clothes did not seem to belong to a very wealthy family, at least not one that I had to remember, but they looked familiar.

The leader was a woman in her early thirties. Before I could say anything, Jinjin had already called out to me in my arms, "Sister Jiang Ying."

Then I remembered that this was Cen Jiangying from the Qi family, a very famous housekeeper. She was very young and was flattered by all the families. Her master's only daughter, Qi Hanqin, was a classmate of Yangyang and Jinjin, a very shy child. Maybe she had been warned by her parents not to get too close to our children, for fear of being accused of trying to please them deliberately. So this year, she probably had no choice but to ask for favors.

Having offended someone, the capital chain has been cut off, and many industries have been seized. The Qi family can no longer use the remaining money to take on a project of my family. The Qi family is going to go bankrupt. Jinjin came back and told me that a classmate wanted to invite her to a birthday party. I had agreed a long time ago, but the Qi family still felt it was not enough, so they sent the housekeeper to attend the entertainment in person, hoping to get something more.

I don't want to cut off his future. It's just a piece of cake anyway. Adding another family member or friend will only benefit him and not cause any harm. Besides, Yangyang only has half of the family property. If one day I really succumb to the will of heaven and something unexpected happens again, I can leave my daughter to Gao Xin to raise, but I can't send my brother over. He must have his own power, otherwise, there is no guarantee that Chengcheng will not make up his mind to eliminate the trouble forever.

Since the Qi family came here because they had no other options, my family will lend a hand and clean up the mess. Naturally, they will follow the Fu family's lead in the future.

I leaned back, waiting for Cen Jiangying to bring the rest of her family to greet my family. It was the same old story, but there was more flattery between the lines, and also mixed in: Jinjin was invited to make things easier for the girl, and Yangyang was not invited because I was afraid that the Fu family would misunderstand and that her family would have crossed the line.

After saying this, Shu Yi couldn't help laughing. It was true. Let's not talk about what era it was. Even if there was a reason to raise boys and girls separately, how old was Yangyang? What was there to prevent from such a half-grown child? Was she fully grown?

"Ms. Cen, what you said is too much for my children. My family is not a wealthy family with a long history. We don't have such a high culture. We just say what we want to say. My young master is precious, but he is not so pretentious. I believe that your Miss Qi, who is straightforward, will not be ashamed to see my Yangyang. But if your family really has such strict rules, we will follow the customs." I turned my eyes away and finally landed on Zening: "Now that you are back, you feel that your sister has worked hard after eating her food, so you can run a trip for her and get to know the merchants in Linjiang. The families of the boys at the Qi family banquet will definitely follow."

"Okay." Zening agreed and couldn't help laughing at my last sentence.

I looked back and saw that Cen Jiangying was still the same. She even looked happy. She had been hitting a wall these days. Although my family was making things difficult for her, they were the kindest. Thinking about it, there was no point in making fun of others. So I let it go and turned to Yangyang: "You can go too. Well... there are many boys in this generation and they are very naughty. You have to protect Jinjin well."

"I will." Yangyang patted her chest to promise, and then blushed and pulled Jinjin's hand: "Sister said that Jinjin is my little wife, I will naturally protect my little wife."

When I heard this, I almost spit out the water in my mouth. Everyone in the room was also trying to hold back their laughter. Yangyang was really the most thoughtless person. Cen Jiangying and the others hadn't left yet, but he was already pulling Jinjin to be shy. Jinjin couldn't help but stick out her tongue to express her disgust.

Cen Jiangying was a man who could discern the signs. He immediately said goodbye to the huge group of people and went back home. When he was leaving the house, he happened to meet Gao Xinci coming over. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he kept his head down. He happened to bump into another person who was walking out. The girl was so frail that Gao Xinci almost knocked her head down by accident. Gao Xinci hurriedly helped her up, and at first glance he found that she was familiar.

"Hui Xin?" Gao Xinci called out with a puzzled expression on his face.

He is a powerful person in Linjiang, and it is not surprising that he knows many people. However, when my Shu Yi heard the name, he hurriedly stood up to check and almost pulled out his detector. I quickly pressed him to lie down, and turned around to see that the girl called "Hui Xin" was also full of confusion. She bowed timidly and said, "Sir, do you know me?"

"Son-in-law?" I looked at Zhizhi, who knew the most people in the room, but he shook his head. I had no choice but to stare at the girl again: "Are you from the Fu family? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I..." The little girl lowered her head and glanced behind me intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't dare to answer for a long time, or perhaps she didn't know how to answer.

Only then did I realize that she was not afraid of Gao Xinci, but someone from the third room behind me. Looking at Shu Yi's anxious look, I understood about 70% of it. I didn't intend to force her anymore. I just let Shu Yi whisper in my ear: "Sister, her name is He Huixin, she is the same age as me, and she is the one sent by my father to take care of me."

"Is it the boss or the young wife?" I leaned close to Shu Yi's ear and said, while waving my hand to tell He Huixin not to agree and to leave quickly. My aunt's eyes almost popped out.

"Sister..." Shu Yi pulled my sleeve shyly, which was rare.

I sneered and patted Shu Yi on the shoulder, but secretly I couldn't help feeling unfair for him.

Gao Xinci told me a few days ago that Shu Yi is married. He and his sister-in-law have been childhood sweethearts, but his family background is not good and he is not accepted by his aunt. His uncle is not a very humble man. If he can accept a mediocre girl marrying his eldest son, then she must be the one chosen by his family. But is he really doing this for the good of his son?

He is just biased.

In the beginning, I blamed myself for suppressing Yangyang and finding a beautiful manager of the same age as his young master. I set boundaries for him from the very beginning. I instigated Chengcheng to marry into the Han family to consolidate his position and ended his major life event in a hasty manner. Such "absurd" things were criticized by the elders of the first house. Unexpectedly, my uncle learned from me secretly and ruined his son's future.

He blamed me for choosing a mediocre fiancé like Meng Hangsheng for Zening, because he was afraid that Shu Yi would marry someone of higher status in the future or even just someone of equal status and become more famous than Zening. He hoped that his eldest daughter would inherit the family business, but as a father, he could not push his son into trouble, so he had to give him the only choice in his life to whom he could confide his true heart, a wife who was not as good as Meng Hangsheng but whom he liked.

I can only be thankful that Shu Yi seems to like Hui Xin, now, and as Gao Xinci sees it, it will be the same in the future.

When I was a child, I saw that the old man favored Chengcheng. My second uncle was too far away and couldn't help me in time, so I often placed my hopes on my youngest uncle. Although he bullied me occasionally, I also looked forward to him taking me out to play and going home to amuse my younger brothers and sisters. I felt that the third room was really lively and there was no unfairness. The five children were all harmonious. Now it seems that I was just too young to see it at the time.

In this world, children who are not born of the same mother have no worries when fighting with each other, but it is even more heartbreaking when brothers and sisters who are connected by blood from the same father and mother fight with each other. Many times, a person's life is lost because of a word of "partiality" from their parents.
