Chapter 281 Xiaomeizi Becomes the Guardian
The relationship between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's mother and son has temporarily entered a truce.
It was a sunny day. He Yuzhu was out for work at the factory, leaving Xiaomeizi and her sister Xu Xinyue at home.
Xiao Meizi took Xu Xinyue to sit under the old tree in the yard, her eyes full of worry: "Sister, I'm telling you, you must not let your guard down.
Look at Qin Huairu, I can see through all the little calculations in her mind."
Xu Xinyue frowned slightly and patted Xiao Meizi's hand: "Xiao Meizi, I know you are doing this for my own good, but aren't we all at peace now?"
"Sister, you are just too kind." Xiao Meizi raised her voice anxiously, "Think about it, Qin Huairu has often asked our brother-in-law for help with her family's problems.
Although there is a truce now, who knows what she is planning.
Take that Bang Geng for example. She has spoiled him to such a state that he is idle all day long. Who knows what trouble he will cause in the future."
Xu Xinyue sighed: "Banggeng is indeed a child who lacks discipline, but we can't say much."
"Why not say more? Sister, this concerns your marriage and your family." Xiao Meizi held Xu Xinyue's hands tightly with both hands, "You have to be brave and can't let Qin Huairu have the opportunity to destroy our family.
Look at Brother Shazhu, he has a kind heart but is always taken advantage of by others.
We have to help him protect this home."
Xu Xinyue looked at Xiao Meizi's serious expression and was touched: "Xiao Meizi, I understand. I won't let others destroy my family easily."
"Sister, don't just talk." Xiao Meizi insisted, "You have to take actual action.
Don't interact with Qin Huairu as much as possible. If she talks to you about something irrelevant, just ignore her.
And that stick joke, if he dares to disrespect you, you must tell your brother-in-law, you can't just bear it yourself."
At this time, the twin nephews Chen Bao and Ying Bao came running over. Xiao Meizi immediately changed into a serious elder and pulled the two children over.
"Chenbao, Yingbao, auntie is telling you something." Xiao Meizi squatted down and looked into the two children's eyes, "You have to protect your mother well, okay? We can't let the bad women outside destroy our home."
Ying Bao blinked her big eyes and asked in a baby voice, "Auntie, what is a bad woman?"
"Just like Qin Huairu, who is always thinking about getting benefits from our family. She is a bad woman." Xiao Meizi explained.
Chen Bao frowned: "Aunt, what should we do?"
"You should spend more time with your mother. If you see Qin Huairu or Bang Geng approaching your mother, pull her away and don't give them the chance to say bad things." Xiao Meizi instructed patiently.
Ying Bao clenched her fist like a little adult: "Aunt, I understand. I won't let the 'vixen' bully Mom."
Xiao Meizi was amused by Yingbao's appearance, but she still said seriously: "Yingbao is really well behaved. Also, when you are playing in the yard, if you hear others say bad things about mom, don't pay attention to it. Come back and tell your aunt or dad, understand?"
Chen Bao nodded and said, "Aunt, I understand. I will protect my mother and sister."
Xu Xinyue looked at Xiao Meizi's instructions to the children, her heart filled with warmth and gratitude: "Xiao Meizi, I feel more at ease with you around."
"Sister, we are a family, of course I have to think about this family." Xiao Meizi stood up and looked towards the gate of the yard, "Brother-in-law is busy outside, we have to take good care of the house, so that he can work with peace of mind.
I can't let Qin Huairu's little tricks succeed. As long as Xiao Meizi is here, no one can destroy our happy life."
The afternoon sun shines on the courtyard, and Xiao Meizi's words seem to still echo in the air. Under her protection, this family seems to have more peace and determination. There may be storms in the future, but at this moment, their hearts are full of determination to protect their family.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
A few days later, Qin Huairu took advantage of He Yuzhu's absence and brought Banggeng to the yard.
Banggeng deliberately made trouble in the place where Xu Xinyue hung out clothes to dry, throwing the freshly washed clothes all over the floor.
Xu Xinyue came out after hearing the noise and saw this scene. She was angry and anxious: "Bang Geng, what are you doing?"
Bang Geng snorted nonchalantly: "I'm just playing around, what's wrong? This yard doesn't belong to your family alone."
Xu Xinyue gritted her teeth and was about to explode when she suddenly remembered Xiao Meizi's instructions. She turned back to the house and planned to wait for He Yuzhu to come back.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu walked forward hypocritically and said, "Xinyue, this child is ignorant, don't take it to heart. I will teach him a lesson right away."
Xu Xinyue said calmly: "No need, Qin Huairu, let's talk about it after Yu Zhu comes back."
Qin Huairu's heart tightened. She originally wanted to test Xu Xinyue's reaction, but she didn't expect her to be so calm.
Back in the house, Xu Xinyue told Xiao Meizi what happened.
When Xiao Meizi heard this, she was furious: "Sister, you should teach that Banggeng a lesson right there and then. They are obviously deliberately provoking me."
"Xiao Meizi, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. Wait until Yuzhu comes back and he will handle it." Xu Xinyue said.
Although Xiao Meizi was angry, she also knew her sister's concerns, so she said, "Sister, let's forget it this time. But we have to be more careful next time.
I'll go say hello to the neighbors in the yard and ask them to help keep an eye out."
Xiao Meizi came to the yard and found a few neighbors with whom she had a good relationship, and told them about the story of Qin Huairu and her son.
The neighbors all said they would pay more attention. After all, everyone knew that He Yuzhu was a good person and they didn't want to see his family being bullied.
In the evening, when He Yuzhu came back from get off work, Xu Xinyue told him what happened during the day.
He Yuzhu frowned: "What is Qin Huairu doing? Didn't we agree to a truce?"
Xiao Meizi said at the side: "Brother Shazhu, you can't be soft-hearted.
They are pushing their luck. You need to talk to Qin Huairu and ask her to take care of Bang Geng. "
He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will talk to her."
The next day, He Yuzhu found Qin Huairu and said seriously, "Qin Huairu, I won't bother with him about Banggeng yesterday.
But you have to make it clear to him that he is not allowed to treat my wife like this again. We finally reached a truce, so don't do anything tricky."
Qin Huairu smiled widely: "Yuzhu, that kid really didn't mean it.
I have already taught him a lesson. Don't worry, he won't do it again."
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what to say.
But a few days later, something happened again. When Bang Geng was playing with other children in the yard, he deliberately said bad things about Xu Xinyue, saying that she was a stingy person and would not let him play in the yard. When Ying Bao heard this, she immediately ran over to argue with Bang Geng: "You are not allowed to say bad things about my mother."
Bang Geng pushed Ying Bao with disdain: "Little girl, what does it have to do with you?"
Yingbao fell to the ground and burst into tears. Chenbao saw his sister being bullied and rushed over to fight with Banggeng. The yard was in chaos.
Xu Xinyue heard the noise and ran out in a hurry. Seeing the children fighting, she felt distressed. She helped Yingbao up while scolding, "Stop fighting, stop fighting."
At this time, Xiao Meizi also rushed over. Seeing Yingbao's red eyes and the wounds on Chenbao's face, she was furious: "Banggeng, you are going too far. How can you bully a child?"
Qin Huairu heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing this scene, she sided with Bang Geng: "This must be a misunderstanding. My Bang Geng will not hit people for no reason."
Xiao Meizi pointed at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, don't lie with your eyes open. Look at what you have done to Bang Geng. You must give an explanation for what happened today."
He Yuzhu came back and saw the chaos in the yard. After understanding what happened, he angrily said to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, if you continue to indulge Bang Geng like this, our truce will not count. You have to take good care of him and apologize to my wife and children."
Qin Huairu saw that He Yuzhu was really angry and knew that the matter had become serious, so she had to pull Banggeng and said, "Banggeng, apologize to your aunt and your brothers and sisters."
Bang Geng muttered reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
Xiao Meizi snorted: "What kind of apology is this? There is no sincerity at all."
He Yuzhu said to Xiao Meizi, "Xiao Meizi, forget it. As long as they don't do it again in the future, it's fine."
After this incident, Xu Xinyue also realized that she couldn't just tolerate it all the time. She said to Xiao Meizi, "Xiao Meizi, you're right. I can't always be afraid of things. I have to stand up for this family."
Xiao Meizi said with relief: "Sister, it's good that you think so. Let's protect this home together and not let anyone destroy it."
Since then, Xu Xinyue has become stronger and is no longer easily shaken by the provocations of Qin Huairu and her son. Xiao Meizi also keeps an eye on the surroundings, and will stand up to protect her family at the first sign of trouble.
But Qin Huairu did not give up. She came up with a plan to create financial trouble for Xu Xinyue.
She spread rumors in the yard, saying that Xu Xinyue did not know how to live and was squandering all of He Yuzhu's money, which would cause the family to be in trouble soon.
The rumor spread widely, and some neighbors who did not know the truth began to point fingers at Xu Xinyue.
When Xu Xinyue found out, she burst into tears. Xiao Meizi comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we are not afraid of our own shadows.
Then, Xiao Meizi made the accounts public in the yard and explained to everyone: "Neighbors, you have all heard some rumors about my sister. But the fact is that our family has always been planning every penny reasonably. My sister is frugal and manages the household frugally in order to make this family better and better. Those rumors are all groundless. Someone deliberately wants to destroy the peace of our family."
After listening to Xiao Meizi's explanation, the neighbors suddenly realized what was going on and began to condemn Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu didn't expect that her conspiracy would be so easily exposed. She felt embarrassed and annoyed, but still pretended to be calm.
However, Qin Huairu's son Banggeng became even more resentful towards Xu Xinyue's family because of these things.
One night, Banggeng secretly punctured the tire of Chenbao's beloved bicycle. When Chenbao found out the next day, he was so angry that his face turned red.
After Xiao Meizi found out, she dragged Chen Bao to Qin Huairu to argue: "Qin Huairu, look at what your son has done! How could he be so mean? This is not just childish mischief, this is deliberate destruction!"
Qin Huairu still wanted to defend Bang Geng: "Xiao Meizi, you can't spit blood on others. Maybe Chen Bao broke it by accident, how can you blame Bang Geng?"
At this time, Xu Xinyue also came over, she looked at Qin Huairu and said: "Qin Huairu, we have always been tolerant, but you have become even worse.
If you continue like this, we will not be polite anymore."
After He Yuzhu learned about this, he completely lost his patience with Qin Huairu and her son. He said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, I have always been tolerant of you because of our past relationship.
But what you and Bang Geng did was really too much.
From now on, I won't help you with anything, and don't even think about making trouble in this house anymore.
If it happens again, I will report the situation to the factory and let the leadership handle it.”
Qin Huairu felt a little scared when she saw that He Yuzhu was serious this time.
She knew that He Yuzhu was popular in the factory. If he really reported the situation, she and Banggeng would definitely be criticized.
So, she went back and gave Bang Geng a severe lesson, telling him not to provoke Xu Xinyue's family again.
Although Banggeng was not convinced, he dared not disobey his mother's orders. Qin Huairu also began to restrain her behavior and no longer provoked her as blatantly as before.
But Xiao Meizi and Xu Xinyue did not relax their vigilance. They knew that Qin Huairu and her son might only be suppressed temporarily, and they might come up with new tricks at any time.
So, Xiao Meizi suggested holding some family activities at home and inviting neighbors to participate. While enhancing neighborhood relations, it also allowed everyone to get to know Xu Xinyue better and consolidate the family's position in the yard.
Xu Xinyue thought this was a good idea, so she started preparing for it with Xiao Meizi.
They prepared sumptuous food and interesting performances and held a warm family gathering in the yard.
All the neighbors and close friends were invited to attend. Everyone laughed and talked happily at the party, and praised Xu Xinyue's cooking skills and enthusiasm.
This gathering greatly enhanced the image of Xu Xinyue's family in the courtyard, and also made Qin Huairu even more cautious about acting rashly.
Not long after, Xu Xinyue found out that she was pregnant. The news made the whole family immersed in joy, and He Yuzhu took great care of Xu Xinyue. Xiao Meizi also said happily: "Sister, this is a big happy event for our family.
With this child, our family will be more complete, and Qin Huairu and the others will not dare to have any bad intentions anymore."
However, after Qin Huairu learned the news, she began to feel uneasy again.
She was worried that after Xu Xinyue had a child, He Yuzhu would become more distant from her and Banggeng, so she began to plan secretly again.
She found Banggeng and whispered to him, "Banggeng, your aunt has another child.
Our lives in this yard may become even more difficult from now on.
You have to find a way to let her know that she can’t have the final say in this yard alone.”
Bang Geng frowned and said, "Mom, He Yuzhu has already warned us before, I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Qin Huairu scolded: "You useless thing! If we don't do something, we will be bullied in the future."
Bang Geng had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
After Xu Xinyue became pregnant, she felt a little unwell, so Xiaomeizi took care of her wholeheartedly.
One day, Xiao Meizi accompanied Xu Xinyue to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. After they left, Banggeng sneaked into Xu Xinyue's room, looking for something to cause trouble.
He was rummaging through the drawers and accidentally broke a porcelain doll that Xu Xinyue treasured.
This porcelain doll was a relic left to Xu Xinyue by her mother and was very precious to her. When Xu Xinyue and Xiao Meizi came back and found that the porcelain doll was broken, Xu Xinyue was heartbroken.
Xiao Meizi felt very distressed when she saw her sister so sad.
She vowed to find out who did it. After some investigation, she found some clues of Banggen.
Xiao Meizi angrily found Qin Huairu and Bang Geng and asked, "You are going too far! This porcelain doll is a relic left to my sister by her mother. How could you break it so cruelly?"
Qin Huairu and Banggeng were a little scared when they saw Xiaomeizi so angry.
Qin Huairu knew that this matter had become a big deal, so she quickly said to Xiao Meizi: "Xiao Meizi, this is a misunderstanding. Bang Geng didn't mean it. We will compensate you."
Xiao Meizi sneered, "Compensation? Can you compensate me for this? What you did has completely broken my sister's heart."
He Yuzhu was also very angry when he learned about this. He said to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, I am completely disappointed in you.
You and Bang Geng must give my wife a satisfactory explanation, otherwise I will not let you go."
Qin Huairu knew that she could not escape responsibility this time.
She pulled the stick stem and sincerely apologized to Xu Xinyue: "Xinyue, I know we were wrong. We shouldn't have treated you like this. We will find a way to make up for this porcelain doll, please forgive us."
Bang Geng also lowered his head and said, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I know this porcelain doll is very important to you, and I will try my best to make up for my mistake."
Xu Xinyue looked at their sincere expressions, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided. She knew that hatred would only make this family more restless.
She said to Qin Huairu and Bang Geng: "I can forgive you, but you must promise not to do such things again in the future.
We live in the same yard and should respect each other and live in peace."
Qin Huairu and Bang Geng nodded repeatedly. Since then, Qin Huairu and her son have completely changed their attitude and no longer provoked or sabotaged Xu Xinyue's family.
I just don't know if he has really learned his lesson or is just lying dormant...
