Chapter 440: Are You Sneaking a Peek?

After pulling her outside, Jiang Hong looked at his little sister with anger in his eyes. “Jiang Huijing, this is my home. If you cause any trouble here, I’ll have someone kick you and your husband out immediately.”

“Okay, okay, I won’t cause trouble. Third Brother, when you talk to Third Sister-in-law later, please say some good words for us and ask her to help us,” she said, clinging to his arm with a sweet, coquettish expression.

“I can’t decide this matter for you. It depends on your sister-in-law. If she doesn’t want to help, you’ll have to deal with it. And if you dare to upset my wife, just see if I don’t take care of you,” he warned, turning away without giving her another glance as he headed to find his wife.

In the end, he found her in the study where the two children usually did their homework.

The quiet study was filled with the warm sight of the mother and her two children, each sitting on one side, focusing on their own tasks.

When Jiang Hong entered, he was struck by how peaceful and cozy the scene was, almost making him reluctant to interrupt.

But it wasn’t long before his wife noticed him.

Li Yiyi put down her brush, looked over at him, and smiled, “Why are you standing at the door? Were you sneaking a peek at us?”

Hearing her playful tone, Jiang Hong chuckled softly and walked toward them. His eyes softened as he gazed at them and said, “I was indeed sneaking a peek. When I stood at the door and saw you three busy with your own tasks, it was such a warm sight that I didn’t dare to disturb you.”

The mother and children all laughed at his words.

Li Yiyi turned to the two children, “Continue with your homework. I need to talk to your dad for a bit. No slacking off.”

“Got it, Mom,” Jiang Yueyue obediently replied. Then, seeing her younger brother twitching with the urge to play, she quickly promised her mom, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll keep an eye on him so he doesn’t slack off.”

Upon hearing his sister, Jiang Zhanpeng slumped his shoulders, looking like a wilted eggplant.

The three of them couldn’t help but laugh again.

“Listen to your sister and don’t slack off,” Li Yiyi reminded, then took her husband’s hand and led him to the next room.

“Dear, dinner will be ready soon, and there’s not much time left,” Jiang Hong whispered in her ear.

Li Yiyi, who had been about to ask him something, froze when she heard his words. She suddenly felt a large hand wandering on her back. Realizing what he meant, she understood his earlier remark.

“What are you thinking? I brought you into this room to ask you something. What’s going on in that head of yours? Can’t you think of something good for once?” she said with a mix of anger and amusement, poking his chest with her finger.

Realizing his misunderstanding, Jiang Hong felt embarrassed and rubbed his nose, “Of course, I was thinking of something good. The matter of love between a man and a woman is a human instinct, so how could that not be good?”

Li Yiyi rolled her eyes at him. “You’re only good at arguing with me about this kind of thing. Let me ask you, do you know why your sister and her husband came here? Also, how are you planning to arrange things for them?”

Jiang Hong, now holding her hand, thought for a moment before replying, “After dinner, I’ll drive them to the guest house in the town to stay for a while. I’ve already asked my sister, and she said she wants you to help them find a job.”

Li Yiyi immediately looked at him. Before she could speak, he continued, “However, I told her that I wouldn’t get involved in this matter. If you want to help them, you can, but they can’t give you any trouble. If they do, I don’t care if they are my sister or brother-in-law, to me, only my wife is the most important.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yiyi swallowed her words and smiled contentedly at him, “That sounds good.”

“But remember, I’m the one in charge of this matter. You can’t interfere. If they can’t help, I don’t want anything to do with it,” she emphasized again.

Jiang Hong nodded, “I understand. You make the decisions.”

After talking for a while, they heard Jiang’s mother calling them for dinner.

Soon, the whole family gathered at the door and walked toward the living room together.

When they reached the living room, they saw that two people were already sitting at the table—acting like grandpas and grandmas, not lifting a finger to help.

Seeing this, Jiang Hong immediately frowned. Without saying a word, he walked over to the couple. “You really think you’re the grandpa and grandma here, huh? Not helping with anything? If you’re just here to eat for free, get out now. My family doesn’t support idle people.”

Wang Fugui and Jiang Huijing, frightened by his warning, immediately stood up and began helping with the chores.

Li Yiyi, watching this scene, couldn’t help but smile and gave Jiang Hong a thumbs-up.

The children, who had been watching their parents’ little exchange, giggled, covering their mouths.

Once Wang Fugui and Jiang Huijing returned after helping out, the children’s smiles faded and they got back to their work.

When everything was ready, the family sat down at the dinner table.

With the three elders picking up their chopsticks, the table finally became lively.

But not long after, everyone slowly stopped eating and began watching the couple devouring their food with abandon.

“Look at you two, eating like you’re starving, like you haven’t had a meal in years. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Jiang’s mother couldn’t bear to watch any longer and scolded them.

The couple, focused solely on their food, paid no attention to her scolding, continuing to eat as if they didn’t hear a word.

The children, watching their aunt and uncle eat, stared in disbelief, even forgetting to eat their own food.

Eventually, Li Yiyi tapped their little heads and urged, “Stop staring, eat your food.”

After the scolding, Wang Fugui and Jiang Huijing slowed down their eating, though they were still faster than anyone else at the table.
