My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 329 - 34 Unexpected News

"So you decided to come over on your own?" Shen Chi asked with a dark face.

"No," Shen Xiu shook her head, "it was Jiahui who asked me to come."

It seemed she feared her family might misunderstand, so she wiped her tears and said, "Recently, Cheng Jiajian had the fan on and Tiantian caught a cold, getting a low fever at night. I was taking care of him in his room, and Fu Chunmei took the opportunity to try to get into bed. My mother-in-law even locked our room door from the outside. Jiahui was so angry that he threw Fu Chunmei out the window. But my mother-in-law didn’t reflect on her actions at all. She took advantage of me going out to buy groceries to pry open our drawers and take the property deed and savings book. The three of them ganged up on me, and I couldn’t get them back. Later, when Jiahui came back, in the struggle, the property deed and the savings book were torn."

Her countenance improved slightly as she continued, "They don’t know that the property deed and the savings book can be reissued; they still think the house and money have gone for good. Jiahui used this to our advantage, saying, ’With the money gone and the house gone, you all wait to be kicked out.’"

"He told me to come first, and after making arrangements, he would also come here so they would think we came to the Capital to seek help from my family because we couldn’t stay in Z Province any longer. He said they fear being chased and threatened by people every day and sooner or later, they won’t be able to endure and shamefully go back. It’s just that with us not at home, it’s inevitable that our things at home will be tampered with."

"After suffering so much bullying, why did you only speak up now?" Luo Yufang said somewhat displeased.

"I couldn’t explain clearly over the phone, and I was afraid you would tell me to endure," Shen Xiu said a bit sheepishly.

"Fool, we wouldn’t tell you to endure such a thing. If we knew you were in such a situation, we might even have come personally," Lin Xiaoguai said, gently patting her head.

In her heart, Shen Xiu was still the timid young girl who had, years ago, shared her saved food with her, unchanged over the years.

"What I mean is..." Shen Chi was somewhat speechless, "although it may not be right to say this, Jiahui has resolved the issue, and you’ve come back making that face, intending to make us worry, isn’t it?"

"That’s not what brother is saying," said Shen Xiu with reddened eyes, "I’ve been so frustrated these days, their shamelessness is thicker than city walls, not ashamed to do anything, every day is a torment."

"Wait until Jiahui arrives, and then you can enjoy some time here in the Capital before going back. It hasn’t been easy for him either; no one wants to have parents like that. Don’t blame him for this," Shen Chi, who always saw his brother-in-law in a different light, didn’t just take sides this time but said a fair word.

"I know. When I face trouble from my mother-in-law at home, he will always defend me as long as he’s there, he’s never made me compromise," Shen Xiu said, her expression sweetening.

Lin Xiaoguai sighed inwardly; Shen Xiu had indeed married a good husband, who was not only amiable but also faultless towards Shen Xiu.

With that issue settled, Lin Xiaoguai looked at Shen Chi and asked, "Are you really going to the barracks tomorrow?"

"Don’t worry, my injuries are almost healed," knowing what she was worried about, Shen Chi quickly reassured.

"Brother, you’re injured?" Only now did Shen Xiu learn that Shen Chi had been hurt and naturally asked in detail.

Shen Xiu stayed at her parents’ home for a week until Cheng Jiahui arrived from Z Province.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law." As soon as he entered, Cheng Jiahui greeted everyone with a smile.

"I came in a hurry this time and just bought some specialties from Z Province, not sure if you’ll like them." As he spoke, he was about to open his suitcase.

"That’s enough, don’t worry about that now. We know you must be tired, go ahead and let Xiuwa show you to a room to rest," Luo Yufang quickly stopped him.

Cheng Jiahui didn’t insist but said, "Then let Xiuxiu bring it to you."

Cheng Jiahui slept from morning till afternoon and woke up feeling very hungry. Lin Xiaoguai had anticipated this and was simmering chicken soup on the stove. Seeing him awake, she threw in a handful of noodles, added an egg, and after taking it off the stove, added a few thin slices of beef and a few slices of tomato. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Your cooking skills are as mouthwatering as ever," Cheng Jiahui complimented after a full meal.

"Brother-in-law is as eloquent as ever," Lin Xiaoguai responded with a smile.

The quadruplets were awake at the moment, playing on a crawling mat. Perhaps curious about Cheng Jiahui, the unfamiliar face, their toys today weren’t as attractive; their gazes kept wandering over to Cheng Jiahui.

"Are these Sisi, Little Sun, Little Spring Breeze, and Qiaoqiao?" Cheng Jiahui knew about the quadruplets; he’d heard about them many times over the phone but had never met them.
