Baozi Xishi's Struggle

After Shen Yu finished her ceremony, He took off a twisted white jade bracelet from her hand. She took Shen Yu's hand and put it on her, saying sincerely, "This bracelet is a pair. My mother put it on me when I got married. I wish that I will be happy and safe every year."

He smiled softly and said, "Although they are not of the best quality, they are my favorite pair of bracelets. I wear them every day. Now that you and I are sisters, we should each have one. Without my sister to save my Qiqi, how could I be happy and safe?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again. She must have been terribly frightened by the incident of her child falling into the water. She couldn't help feeling scared and panicked whenever she mentioned it.

Seeing that He was sincere in giving it, Shen Yu accepted it generously and said with a smile, "Thank you, Third Sister. This is a good idea. I like it very much."

Shen Yu looked at the sky. The sun had already risen. If he didn't close the stall and occupy this place, it would affect the entry and exit of the caravan.

She smiled and said, "Third sister, it's getting late. I can't keep my stall here. There will be caravans coming in and out, and it will be bad if it blocks the road. I have to close the stall first, please don't blame me, sister."

He then realized that she had been so busy talking to Shen Yu that she had forgotten the time. She hurriedly said to the big man standing aside, "Husband, why are you standing there? Hurry up and help Fourth Sister and her family close this stall."

After hearing this, the big man responded, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to help carry the equipment onto the car.

It was not appropriate for him to carry Shen Yu, so she wanted to stop him. However, He held Shen Yu back and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, just let your third brother-in-law do it. What he lacks the least is strength." As she said that, she winked.

Shen Yu suddenly realized, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Third brother-in-law, I'll help you."

The people around looked at Miss Shen, calling her "Third Sister" and "Third Brother-in-law" one by one. Knowing that the Shen family's bun stall now had a backer, they couldn't help but reveal envious eyes.

Some people said sourly: "Baozi Xishi is so lucky. Now she is the sister-in-law of the head of the police. We should be more careful when we talk to each other in the future."

Some who were afraid of trouble didn't dare to respond, so they pretended not to hear and went about their own business.

After packing up the stall, Captain Xing insisted on helping Shen Yu pull the car back.

Shen Yu had no choice but to let him pull the cart and let Yu Cheng run in front to lead the way. She and the He family members walked slowly and chatted casually behind.

When Shen Yu was pulling the cart to the stall today, he felt that the cart was very heavy. However, when it was in the hands of Captain Xing, the cart seemed light and weightless, and it moved lightly and quickly, with Yu Cheng jogging in front.

He led Qiqi by the hand and looked at the head of the police pulling the cart in front of them, walking very fast. She shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law is a good person in every way, but he walks very fast. I can't keep up with him."

After hearing this, Shen Yu and Li and the others also started laughing.

He spoke softly and asked Shen Yu where he was from and how old he was. Shen Yu answered truthfully.

He sighed, "Fourth sister is amazing. She is so capable at such a young age. Unlike me, I only stay at home, sewing clothes, preparing meals, and taking care of children day after day."

Li interrupted and said, "Madam, this is a good life. My daughter is good-looking, can embroider, and can cook delicious meals. Unfortunately, she is dragged down by our family and has to set up a food stall to earn a living."

After thinking for a while, he said shamelessly, "What kind of official is your wife's husband? The people he interacts with on weekdays must be high-ranking officials."

He was flattered by Li, and she chuckled, "Madam, you are joking. He is not a high-ranking official at all. He is just a police chief in the government office, and he is just trying to make a living."

Li laughed and said shamelessly, "My lady must know many officials' sons. If there are any good ones, keep an eye out for them and help your fourth sister find a partner. If Yuzhi can marry into a good family, I will be very satisfied."

Shen Yu secretly rolled his eyes in his heart: "Li is always talking about marrying a good family. If I really find someone to marry, what will you guys do?"

Even though she was complaining in her heart, she still had to put on a show of showing off. She pretended to be shy and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Isn't this embarrassing for Third Sister? For a family like us, it's better to make money. We can talk about getting married later."

He said sternly, "Fourth sister, what you said is wrong. The eldest lady is also thinking about you. When a woman reaches a certain age, it is natural for her to take care of her husband and children and marry. Even if you are worried about your brothers and sisters from your natal family, if you marry into a good husband's family, you can let them help you. It is not reasonable for you to just be busy making money and not get married."

Li felt that what Jian said touched her heart, and she quickly agreed with a smile, "Listen, listen, the official's wife's words are different. This time, someone can say something about you. What your third sister said really makes sense."

Shen Yu knew that she couldn't dwell on this issue, so she smiled and changed the subject, "Yes, yes, what mother and third sister said are right. Hey, third sister, how old is Qiqi this year? She is so well-behaved and cute."

The words a mother loves to hear most are when someone praises her child. He touched Qiqi lovingly, who was listening to the adults' words obediently and trying her best to keep up with her short legs. She said with a smile, "Qiqi is six years old this year. She is also very naughty on weekdays and always likes to run around. After the New Year, she can be sent to school. Then, the teacher will have a headache."

Qiqi said loudly, "I didn't run around."

He heard this and thought of what happened a few days ago. She couldn't help but scolded him, "If you didn't run around, how could you fall into the river? If your aunt hadn't saved you, I wouldn't be able to survive."

Qiqi said loudly and unconvincedly: "I have told you many times that someone pushed me, but mother never believed it."

Shen Yu was originally listening to the mother and son bickering with a smile, feeling lucky that he had successfully changed the subject, but he did not expect Qiqi to say such a thing.

Shen Yu restrained his smile and said to He in a serious tone, "Third sister, although we can't believe everything the child says, we can't disbelieve it either. Third brother-in-law is a police chief. You'd better talk to him about this matter and let him check it out so that you can feel more at ease."

Bystanders know clearly, and a word can wake up the dreamer.

Seeing Shen Yu's serious words, He frowned and tried to recall the scene of that day. "My sister is talking about this and I am confused. That day I took Qiqi to play on the riverbank. Your brother-in-law was not in the county town because of official business. I went with a maid."

She recalled and said uncertainly: "But when I asked the maid to buy red bean cakes, Qiqi ran away. I chased her a few steps forward and heard someone shouting: 'The child fell into the river.' I squeezed to the riverside and saw the lake-colored clothes on the child. My brain exploded. Qiqi was wearing clothes of this color that day, so I shouted desperately."
