Gu Jing reached out and rubbed Zhang Zhilin’s head, discontentedly muttering, “At least smile a bit. You’ll make your dad and me think you don’t like us this way.”
Zhang Zhilin was momentarily puzzled, then said seriously, “It’s not that I don’t like you; it’s just that I prefer being at Xiao Bao’s house.”
His favorite was still Xiao Bao.
“…” Gu Jing looked at Zhang Zhilin helplessly. Was there any difference between saying and not saying that?
“Sister Jing, are you jealous?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Jing with a teasing smile.
Gu Jing gave the gleeful Wang Jinhe a disdainful look. She completely ignored it if things didn’t happen to her.
“If this happened to you, would you be happy?” Gu Jing looked at Wang Jinhe with contempt, saying without any goodwill.
Wang Jinhe laughed heartily, “If this happened to you, Sister Jing, you can rest assured. This won’t happen to me.”
Her words made Gu Jing somewhat uncomfortable. Seeing Gu Jing like this, Wang Jinhe realized she had misspoken, “Sorry, Sister Jing, I…”
Gu Jing gently shook her head, “It’s okay. You’re right. Our situation won’t happen to you.”
This family made them envious. But now they were also family, which felt wonderful.
Wang Jinhe turned to Su Yu and, suppressing a smile, asked, “Suddenly gaining an additional son, do you have anything you want to say?”
“Make more money.” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe and said very seriously.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu, both amused and surprised. She had thought about Su Yu’s reaction, but never expected him to say something like this.
His first reaction was to make more money?
Is it because we’re short on money to say something like this?
“Do you need money?”
“Not really. I just feel that now we have two sons. What if we have another pair of twins in the future?” Su Yu didn’t want to, but the thought of needing more money crossed his mind.
Su Jiu looked surprised at Su Yu, nodding in agreement, “Having twins is indeed possible.”
“It would be great if the twins were daughters,” Su Yu couldn’t help but say.
“Sons bother you?”
Su Yu shook his head, “No, we already have two sons. If we have two more, I might go crazy.”
Two sons and two daughters wouldn’t be just right?
Wang Jinhe twitched her mouth, deciding not to talk to this guy about it.
“This is something far in the future. Don’t think about it now,” Wang Jinhe said with a straight face.
Su Yu didn’t care whether it was in the future or now; as long as he had the idea, it was fine.
Looking at Su Yu’s relaxed demeanor, Yang Zhenwei couldn’t help but feel a little dazed. How long had it been since he saw Xiao Yu so relaxed and satisfied? Every time he saw him in recent years, he seemed calm and indifferent, not caring about anything.
This relaxed Su Yu made Yang Zhenwei feel much more at ease.
“I’m relieved to see you like this, Xiao Yu,” Yang Zhenwei couldn’t help but sigh.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, his gaze shifting to Yang Zhenwei. After a while, he smiled and said, “Yeah.”
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after having an early celebration, Su Yu gained a six-year-old adopted son.
Due to the change in their relationship, Su Yu became stricter when teaching Zhang Zhilin, who adapted quickly.
Of course, all of this was for the future.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after breakfast and getting ready, everyone in the family went to the county town to see the lanterns, including Qiuyi, Qiuchan, and the others.
Around noon, the family arrived in the county town, and as soon as they reached the destination, the three children started exploring everywhere.
Although Feng Qinling had lived in the capital before, opportunities for outings like this were rare. Every time Madam Feng scolded her, she became less willing to go out, preferring to stay at home with Su Xuan xuan.
“Mom, I like playing at Aunt’s house.” Feng Qinling, leaning on the cart window, couldn’t help but express.
At home, she felt too miserable. She didn’t want to go back and see her grandmother’s expression.
Su Xuan xuan reached out to rub her daughter’s head, then hugged her in her arms, comforting her, “After we go back this time, we will live separately with your dad outside, not staying with your grandmother anymore.”
Feng Qinling looked at Su Xuan xuan in pleasant surprise, “Mom, is this true?”
“It’s true. Your dad has already moved out independently. We’ll stay with your uncle for a while. How about going back with Grandpa before the Chinese New Year?” Su Xuan xuan knew that Su Xi would definitely go back for the Chinese New Year, and with only a few months left, they would definitely return. They couldn’t let Feng Zhen be alone at home during the Chinese New Year.
She believed that Madam Feng would not give up on the matter of splitting the family.
“Okay, Mom. Will Uncle take Aunt and Xiao Bao back?” Feng Qinling curiously asked, “If they go, I can play with them and have meals at Uncle’s house.”
“Uncle and the others won’t go back.” Su Xuan Xuan explained, “It will probably take another year or two before they return.”
Feng Qinling felt unhappy when she heard this, “It will take so long? Why doesn’t Uncle just bring everyone back directly?”
“Because some things haven’t been settled yet. If Uncle directly brings everyone back, your grandmother will cause trouble for Uncle.” Su Xuan xuan explained.
Feng Qinling lowered her eyes sadly, “Mom, I don’t like Grandma.”
Su Xuan xuan remained silent. You don’t like her?
Coincidentally, she doesn’t like her either.
“We came out to play today. Don’t talk about these unhappy things.”
The carriage entered a courtyard, and Wang Jinhe got off the carriage and looked around curiously, “What is this?”
“Afterwards, if we stay here for a long time, we’ll definitely come to the county town. Instead of staying in an inn, it’s better to buy a house. It’s very convenient no matter when we come,” Su Yu explained briefly.
For Su Yu, spending a little money to get a suitable house was a good start.
Wang Jinhe had just asked casually, without any other intentions.
Seeing Su Yu explaining like this, Wang Jinhe felt a bit helpless. “I didn’t say anything. Why are you explaining it so clearly?”
“I just wanted you to know if I didn’t explain.”
“It’s a nice place here.” As soon as they entered the courtyard, Wang Jinhe started looking around. After seeing it, she quite liked the place.
“I specifically chose this place, it must be good. Let’s rest for a while. After eating, we’ll go out for a stroll,” Su Yu said to Wang Jinhe.
“Okay.”
After dinner, Su Yu took out a stack of silver bills. Wang Dagui, Old Master Wang, Yang Zhenwei, Su Xi, each received ten thousand taels of silver, enough for them to spend freely. As for the three children, each received one hundred taels, which was sufficient.
Su Jiu and Su Xuan each received five thousand taels. As for Wang Jinhe, she received a direct gift of fifty thousand taels.
Looking down at the five thousand taels in her hand, Su Xuan Xuan suddenly felt that her brother was no longer truly hers.
The treatment difference between her and her sister-in-law was too great.
