"Alright, second sister, there’s no need to invest too much emotion into an old lady who doesn’t like you. To put it bluntly, she’s your man’s mother, not yours! You’ve been married into the Fan Family for so many years, don’t you know what Old Lady Fan is like?"

"Ah..." It’s precisely because she knew that Xie Jinghong felt so irritated!

Absolutely maddening.

"In my opinion, as long as you get by with saving face, that’s enough. What’s most important is Brother Jiefang’s attitude. If he can see things clearly, then you don’t even need to deal with Old Lady Fan. He’ll sort his own mother out. You just need to take care of your own little family!"

"Really?" Xie Jinghong asked with half-belief, half-doubt.

"Wait and see," said Yan Jinsu, with a slight shrug of her shoulders and her hands spread out.

What else could Xie Jinghong do but nod helplessly?

"Hey, your mother-in-law is really not the main issue. The key is to have a loving relationship with Brother Jiefang; with that, no problem is too big!"

"Go on, stop talking nonsense." Xie Jinghong’s cheeks turned bright red from Yan Jinsu’s offbeat jokes.

"Oh, second sister, are you getting shy? What’s there to be shy about? All men in this world are the same. When a couple’s relationship is good, the children will truly benefit! Look, from ancient times to now, which era’s men were not lecherous?"

"Yeah, yeah, you’re right."

Even Xie Jinghong, no matter how slow, understood the meaning behind Yan Jinsu’s words by now.

Mothers-in-law can’t stand to see their sons protect their daughters-in-law. That makes sense when you think about it.

Recalling her own situation, it really seemed that the more Brother Jiefang protected her, the more displeased her mother-in-law became towards her!

And her brother-in-law rarely talks to Li Xiaoxia; they don’t have much interaction as a couple at home. Unlike Brother Jiefang, who would always check on her and the kids first when he got home—

So, her mother-in-law’s big issue with her was because she felt her eldest son had been completely bewitched by this vixen herself?

It suddenly struck her that when her mother-in-law scolded her yesterday, she seemed to have called her a vixen too. At that moment, she wanted to ask how exactly she was being a vixen!

So that’s the crux of the matter...

"It’s true. When a couple’s relationship is good, if the husband has any peculiar behaviors, the wife will immediately notice. If one cannot perceive any change in their partner, that means they don’t really care as much as they show!

Another thing, only when a couple is united can children receive complete parental love. Otherwise, lacking care from either side, it’s bad for the children’s physical and mental development and can lead to extremism!

Just like how your mother-in-law gets extreme on impulse, people who see that would just think she’s crazy, not like a normal person."

Yan Jinsu was indirectly scolding Fan Family’s widow with these words.

Xie Jinghong listened with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing the puzzled look on her older sister-in-law’s face, Yan Jinsu’s lips twitched—was her own husband some Alien Species from the Xie Family?

Why, even though her husband appeared so shrewd and calculating, did all his siblings seem so plain and simple?

Could it be that all the wiles of the Xie Family had been transferred onto Xie Jingchen?

"Second sister, I want to remind you that it doesn’t matter how outsiders view you; what’s important is your relationship with your brother-in-law. When Brother Jiefang arrives later, you need to talk it out with him properly, don’t be capricious. What’s more important than the future of the children?"

"Fan Jiefang is coming?" Xie Jinghong exclaimed, looking up at the sky to see that it had already turned dark, and the stars above shone brightly, she reflexively countered, "That’s not possible..."

Before her words could finish, she was immediately proven wrong.

Immediately afterward, noises from a car driving into the Xie Family Courtyard could be heard, rumbling in the silent night, sounding especially loud.

Here you go, now we’ve arrived. It seems that Brother Jiefang really does care about you a lot! I only heard about the matter this morning, and Brother Jiefang must have hurried over as soon as he finished his work." Yan Jinsu covered her mouth, stealing a giggle, then nudging the perplexed Da Niu with elbow, she teased:

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Da Hong and the others, you go to the front courtyard and have a good talk with Brother Jiefang, to spare Mr. Xie from having to invite you. Remember, don’t be stubborn!"

On hearing Yan Jinsu mention Mr. Xie, Xie Jinghong flushed red and hurried towards the front courtyard as if stung.

Seeing this, Yan Jinsu hummed a little song in a sweet, soft voice, her spiritual power perceives that the five children inside were still sound asleep;

she simply leaned under the eaves, gazing into the vast night sky—

Under the night sky, stars flowed like rivers, forming all sorts of bizarre and peculiar patterns.

Yet, Yan Jinsu’s thoughts were with her husband in the distance.

And also, the words the old aunt secretly told her.

Unexpectedly, that ’Yan Jinxian’ proved to be quite capable, it hasn’t been long since she returned but she already made her way into the county town. She even managed to charm Zhang Zhiguo’s entire family, with each of them treating her like a lady of importance.

As for how she integrated herself into the county town, that was worth pondering over.

However, knowing that Yan Jinxian had returned and wasn’t sitting idly by, Yan Jinsu wondered, the vexing situation her elder cousin was going through, could it be a play orchestrated by Yan Jinxian?

After all, the fact that Fan Fengshou suffered a life-threatening injury and then merely got better without a fuss, only thinking of living peacefully with his elder brother and younger son, this all seemed quite off to her!

It wasn’t that she suspected the younger brother-in-law of the Fan Family of targeting her own elder brother; rather, she felt that the timing and precision of these incidents were too coincidental... too calculated and plausible...

And it just so happened that these events took place two months ago.

Back then, because of Liu Aimin’s grandfather’s passing, she didn’t have much contact with her paternal home, it looks like she needed to make a trip to the Li Family first.

Outside, upon seeing his wife hurrying over, Fan Jiefang’s sullen face brightened, his gaze eagerly fixed on her.

Seeing Fan Jiefang’s reaction, Xie Tiesheng was inwardly pleased; now that his eldest daughter had come out on her own, he nodded to them and said:

"Da Niu’s here, perfect, Jiefang has important matters to discuss with you. You two speak freely and don’t hurt each other’s feelings."

Catching a glimpse of his daughter’s awkward demeanor, Mr. Xie directly commanded:

"Also, Jiefang, it’s getting late. Later you should go sleep in the room where Xiao Yi used to stay, don’t drive back at night, it’s not safe."

"Got it, Dad, don’t worry." Upon hearing this, Fan Jiefang kept his gaze on his wife while cheerfully acknowledging.

After hearing a satisfactory reply, Mr. Xie left the main courtyard to them and went back to his own room.

"Move the car into the courtyard." Xie Jinghong, who had run quickly, face flushed, gave her husband a stern look and said sheepishly.

"Alright." Fan Jiefang, seeing that his wife stopped avoiding eye contact with him, couldn’t be happier. The tall figure of over 1.8 meters, towering in front of the petite Xie Jinghong, wore a simple and honest face.

Then, after receiving another glance from Xie Jinghong, he quickly raced outside to bring in the car.

Xie Jinghong moved to a shadowy corner in the courtyard, her heart repeatedly going over the words her younger sister-in-law had told her. Now, seeing Fan Jiefang’s smiling face, she felt truly relieved inside, even though it didn’t show on her face.

As long as there’s no adoption, anything else is fine. It’s just a bit of the mother-in-law’s temperament, she can endure it.

Having moved the car into the courtyard, Xie Jinghong directed her husband to lock up the main gate, then asked him if he’d had dinner yet.

"No, I just got back from the county town office and came straight here." Saying this, Fan Jiefang cast an expectant glance at his wife.

Coming home to find no wife or delectable food waiting for him wasn’t as good as coming to his father-in-law’s house, where at the same time, he could share the good news with her.

These past few days without his wife and child by his side, he really missed them. He also realized, only with his wife and child does he truly have a home—
