Yi Zhonghai hesitated when he heard this and said, "I met an acquaintance, so I stayed a little longer. Now let's go to sleep."

Aunt Yi did not doubt it and lay down and fell asleep after hearing it. Now she not only had to clean the house but also had to take care of Xiaobao. She was already very tired after a day, so she fell asleep soon after lying down.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai opened his eyes and looked at the roof, his eyes full of hope, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood and was about to go to work. When he passed by the front yard, he saw Yan Fugui looking at Qin Huairu with a gloomy face and said, "Qin Huairu, stay away from my Jie Cheng in the future. If you don't want to bring bad reputation to my Jie Cheng, he still has to marry a wife. I don't want our two families to fall out."

Qin Huairu said with red eyes: "Third Master, I have reconciled and my name is innocent. Please don't slander me casually."

Seeing Qin Huairu's pretentiousness, Yan Fugui could not help but get angry and said coldly: "Qin Huairu, I don't care what you think in your heart. If I see you and my family get entangled again in the future, don't blame me for breaking up with you!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly walked up to him and advised, "Old Yan, don't say that. Xie Cheng is single, so it's normal for the two of them to have something. What's the matter with you forcing a junior like this?"

Yan Fugui was startled when he heard this, thinking, didn't Yi Zhonghai break up with the Jia family? Why did he come out to speak for Qin Huairu at this time? However, he didn't have time to think about it, so he said directly: "Old Yi, why are you speaking for Qin Huairu? Have you forgotten how the Jia family treated you?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Old Yan, the Jia family is not easy either. Even for Dongxu's sake, I can't just ignore it. Besides, these are things for young people. As old people, we shouldn't get involved. Don't you think this makes sense?"

Yan Fugui's face turned ugly after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, but he would never let Yan Jiecheng marry the widow Qin, otherwise he would have to support this family of vampires, so he said in a deep voice: "Old Yi, I understand all the reasons you said, but you also know the situation of my family. Jiecheng can't be with Qin Huairu."

When Yan Jiecheng saw a neighbor coming over, he quickly grabbed Yan Fugui and said, "Dad, just say less. We should have less contact in the future."

How could Yan Jiecheng, who has been influenced by Yan Fugui for so long, be a person who would suffer losses? The reason why he had an ambiguous relationship with Qin Huairu was that he was holding it in. Yu Li had not allowed him to touch her for a long time, and he had been living a secluded life for the past two years. Other women would not have an ambiguous relationship with him for a little favor, so Qin Huairu was the only target of his attention. Of course, he would never marry Qin Huairu as a daughter-in-law to raise children for the Jia family.

The current Yan Jiecheng is the same as Sha Zhu back then, except that Yan Jiecheng’s goal is clearer, which is to take possession of Qin Huairu’s body.

When Yan Fugui heard Yan Jiecheng say this, his expression eased a little and he said, "Okay, this is what you said. If I see you and Qin Huairu entangled again, I will break your legs!" After that, he pushed the cart out of the yard and went to school.

Seeing that there was nothing to see, Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back and walked out of the yard in a square step.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai also left the yard together. Yan Jiecheng left first to avoid suspicion. On the way, Qin Huairu asked with a strange look, "Uncle Yi, do you really want me and Yan Jiecheng to get along well?"

Yi Zhonghai looked around and whispered, "Huai Ru, you think I'm happy, but think about what would happen if you get pregnant? Is Yan Jiecheng a ready-made scapegoat?"

Qin Huairu sneered inwardly when she heard this, thinking to herself, don't mention that you can't give birth to a child. Even if I could, I'd have an IUD. It's wishful thinking for you to borrow my womb to have a child!

Qin Huairu hated Yi Zhonghai to death. If Yi Zhonghai hadn't come out and ignored the Jia family, would the Jia family have lived such a difficult life? The reason why she used the child to seduce Yi Zhonghai was to make life easier for her family. She also had Yi Zhonghai's house. She just had to find a way to send Yi Xiaobao away, otherwise all her calculations would be in vain. However, Aunt Yi liked the child too much, so she had to think about it in the long run.

So she smiled charmingly and said, "You are still thoughtful."

Although Yi Zhonghai is nearly fifty years old, Qin Huairu's smile makes her heart warm, and she fantasizes that she will have a biological child in the future.

A roar was heard and a jeep drove past the two of them. In the car, Lin Ping saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu walking side by side, wondering why Yi Zhonghai was hooking up with the Jia family again?

But these had nothing to do with him, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the steel mill.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Haizhong, who were not far ahead, heard the noise and turned around to see that it was Lin Ping driving by. They couldn't help feeling envious and jealous.

Of course, Liu Haizhong also saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu walking side by side behind him, so he slowed down his pace and waited for Yan Jiecheng to approach him before asking, "Jiecheng, you and Qin Huairu have been getting close recently, do you know why Old Yi has eased the relationship with Qin Huairu?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng told the story of the front yard again and said, "Second Master, Yi Zhonghai might be comforting Qin Huairu. After all, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai are master and apprentice."

When Liu Haizhong heard Yan Jiecheng call Yi Zhonghai instead of Uncle Yi, he felt very satisfied and said with a smile: "I don't think it's that simple. Just wait and see. Yi Zhonghai will definitely help the Jia family in the future." After saying that, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

New Year’s Eve.

The entire Lin family celebrated the New Year in the west wing. Lin Yunan and Yi also came back to celebrate the New Year. With the help of He Yushui, Shazhu and Qin Yanru also celebrated the New Year in the Lin family. With two chefs showing off their cooking skills, the New Year's Eve dinner was extremely sumptuous. The children who ate it had their mouths full of grease. Even though Qin Yanru knew that the Lin family was wealthy, she couldn't help but be amazed and thought that this was simply a life lived by gods.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to send some food to the deaf old lady in the backyard, but the deaf old lady knew that the Lin family didn't like her, so she asked to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to celebrate the New Year.

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

Thanks to the secret help of Yan Jiecheng and Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family's New Year's Eve dinner was pretty good. Banggeng ate so much that he burped with satisfaction, and Xiaodang Huaihua laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Jia Zhang picked her teeth and said, "Huai Ru, we haven't eaten like this in a long time."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Mom, there are still good days ahead."

Yi Zhonghai's family.

The deaf old lady asked while eating, "Zhong Hai, I heard that you have eased the relationship with the Jia family recently?"

Yi Zhonghai was startled when he heard this, and laughed dryly: "Old lady, Dongxu is my apprentice after all, it is my duty to help him say a few words, people can't be too ruthless, don't you think this is reasonable?"

Hearing this, the deaf old lady sighed and said, "Zhong Hai, you don't have to use this to evade me. I am so old, how can I not see clearly? I will just remind you that no one in the Jia family is a good person, and Qin Huairu is not an easy person to deal with either. Don't let them scheme against you."

Yi Zhonghai didn't take it seriously. He wasn't a fool. If Qin Huairu didn't give birth to a child for him, he wouldn't help her too much. So he was confident and said with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, old lady. I know what I'm doing. Let's eat."

Upon hearing this, the deaf old lady looked at Aunt Yi and Yi Xiaobao and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this Widow Qin was really hard to guard against, and she didn't know how she would convince Yi Zhonghai.

Aunt Yi didn't take it to heart. Now all she had eyes for was Yi Xiaobao.

After midnight, everyone went to bed and Lin Ping drove away from the courtyard.

Yaru Courtyard.

The house was as warm as spring at this time. Yaru, Ding Qiunan and Han Qingxue were all at home. The four little girls were sitting beside them, eating peanuts and melon seeds, chattering about something.

Ding Qiunan looked at her cheongsam and said, "Ya Ru, do you think Brother Pingzi will come? If not, wouldn't our preparations be in vain?"

It turned out that before the holiday, Ya Ru had agreed with Ding Qiunan and Han Qingxue to celebrate the New Year at her home, so Han Qingxue and Ding Qiunan appeared at Ya Ru's house.

Just as Ya Ru was about to speak, she heard a knock on the courtyard door and said with a smile, "How's it going? Are you here?"

Da Shuang opened the gate and saw Lin Ping and smiled sweetly, "Brother."

Lin Ping's eyes lit up when he saw her. Da Shuang was wearing a green embroidered bamboo cheongsam, which was elegant and solemn yet playful. The two buns on her head made her look more youthful and lively, so he smiled and said, "Our Da Shuang is really beautiful today."

Da Shuang blushed when she heard this, lowered her head and said, "Brother, you're talking nonsense."

Lin Ping rubbed Da Shuang's head and said, "Brother is not talking nonsense, our Da Shuang is really beautiful."

Hearing this, Da Shuang raised her little face and asked shyly, "Does brother like it?"

Lin Ping said he couldn't stand it, but thinking that Da Shuang was only fifteen years old, he suppressed his throbbing heart and said, "Of course my brother likes it. Let's go into the house, or Ya Ru will come out."

Da Shuang blushed and said, "Okay." After that, she hugged Lin Ping's arm and walked into the house. The tenderness of the little lotus just showing its tip made Lin Ping almost lose control.

When they arrived at the main house, Lin Ping was stunned to see Ding Qiunan, Han Qingxue and Yaru wearing blue, white and red cheongsams, which brought out their exquisite figures to the extreme.

Seeing Lin Ping standing at the door in a daze, Ya Ru asked angrily, "Why, are you not satisfied with the way we are dressed?"

Lin Ping came back to his senses after hearing this and said, "Satisfied, satisfied, absolutely satisfied to the extreme."

The three girls, Xiaoshuang, Daqing and Xiaoqing, bowed and said, "Happy New Year, brother."

The girl's voice was as clear and sweet as pearls falling on a jade plate, making Lin Ping's heart numb.

Ya Ru came over and hugged Lin Ping's arm and said, "Brother Pingzi has come back to his senses."

Hearing this, Lin Ping touched his nose and laughed dryly: "No man can stand you guys doing this."

Upon hearing this, the three Ya Ru girls all smiled. Ding Qiunan said with a smile: "How about it, are you satisfied with our outfit, master?" After saying that, she turned around in front of Lin Ping.

Seeing this, Ya Ru pursed her lips and said, "Okay, Qiu Nan, stop playing with fire. If he gets interested, we will be in trouble."

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the four maids turned and left. After a while, each of them came into the house carrying a dish.

Everyone sat down, and Ya Ru raised her glass and said, "Let's celebrate our first year of reunion. It's a bit regrettable that the two sisters are missing."

Lin Ping thought about it and said, "It's a bit regrettable. How about I go pick them up so that our family can have a real reunion year?"

The three girls looked at each other and said, "Is it okay?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Siheyuan.

Lin Ping returned to the west wing and saw that the lights in the main room were still on. He pushed the door open and saw Lin Qingyan and her sister talking.

Seeing Lin Ping coming back, Lin Qingya curled her lips and said, "Oh, you're back so soon. Didn't you spend more time with your little beauties?"
