Qiao Yanhui’s eyes lit up when he heard that he was her fiancé. He now understood what a fiancé meant.
Bai Zhuo was also extremely grateful to Xu Qing. He thought that Xu Qing would give him a surprise when the house was built and that it would be a sum of money. He didn’t expect her to give him a home!

He had been wandering for many years and didn’t have a fixed home. He had always wanted a home! He didn’t expect Xu Qing to be so perceptive despite her young age.
“Brother Xu, I’m a little older than you. If you don’t mind, I’ll call you brother.” Bai Zhuo waved his hand and said generously.
Xu Jiangxi was shocked by the favor and hurriedly said, “It’s already good enough that you don’t despise me!”
“Brother Xu, Sister-in-law!” Bai Zhuo couldn’t be bothered to make small talk and greeted them again.
Qu Feng hurriedly replied, “Brother Bai.”
Xu Qing looked at the few people around her and smiled. She brought the family around the house. As expected, the family was even more shocked and worried.
“Little Qing, is the business you’re doing with Mr. Bei Shu really reliable? How long has it been, but you can afford such a lavish house…” Qu Feng asked worriedly. She was afraid that Xu Qing would be deceived. Moreover, Xu Qing was a woman and was doing business with a stranger. If anything happened, it would affect Xu Qing’s reputation!
Fortunately, Little Hui was a fool. Otherwise…
“Mother, don’t worry. There won’t be a problem.” Xu Qing didn’t want her family to worry, but she couldn’t explain too much. If she told Qu Feng that she was Bei Shu now, Qu Feng would probably be even more worried, so she didn’t say anything for now.
“Really?” Qu Feng frowned, worried.
“If you don’t believe me, there’s still Sizhi. He knows martial arts. I’m not afraid of being bullied.” When Xu Qing mentioned Xu Sizhi, he hurriedly appeared in front of everyone.
“Master, Madam,” Xu Sizhi said respectfully.
“Didn’t I tell you not to call us that? Since Little Qing recognizes you as her younger brother, you’re also their elder brother. Call us father and mother in the future.” Qu Feng pitied Xu Sizhi.
She had heard from Xu Qing about this child’s situation. He had been sick since he was young and had been kicked out by his family. As parents, they couldn’t tolerate such a thing. They didn’t know why Xu Sizhi’s family was so heartless.
Xu Sizhi was touched. It had been many years since he had been doted on!
Xu Qing didn’t stop him. She had asked Xu Sizhi to call her sister because she treated him as a family member.
“Father, Mother!” Xu Sizhi immediately knelt down. At this moment, he valued this family more than his life. Xu Qing had given him a chance to live again, and her family doted on him as a family. He would never betray them.
“Good child, get up quickly,” Xu Jiangxi and Qu Feng said pitifully.
“That’s great. I have another brother.” Xu Xiang smiled innocently. She liked Xu Sizhi very much. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also good to her.
Xu Zhi and Xu Huai were also excited. During this period of time, they had learned more about their sister, so they admired Xu Sizhi!
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Jiangxi and Qu Feng continued to marvel at their new home. They felt like they were in a dream. It wasn’t until the housewarming banquet three days later and they saw the envious villagers coming to celebrate that they finally felt that this was real.
They felt even more grateful and guilty towards Xu Qing. They were grateful for everything this child had done. They also felt guilty that as parents, they had to let their daughter take care of everything.
However, there were always people who couldn’t bear to see their family lead a good life.
“Third Brother, you’re really something. You didn’t even invite Father and Mother to the housewarming banquet.” Zhao Bing’s sarcastic voice sounded from outside the crowd.
Xu Qing glanced at Zhao Bing. She knew that the Xu family would definitely come, so she had long locked up the valuable things.
“Father, Mother, didn’t you say you weren’t coming?” Xu Jiangxi said calmly. When he knew that they weren’t coming, Xu Jiangxi definitely felt uncomfortable. His parents were still alive, so if they didn’t come to their son’s housewarming banquet, how would others look at him and Xu Qing? However, Xu Jiangxi had long been disappointed in the Xu family, so he didn’t force them.
“If Father and Mother don’t want to come, then you won’t invite them? How shameless!” Zhao Bing shouted unhappily.
Old Master Xu and Chen Qiulian also acted like Xu Jiangxi was unfilial as they waited for others to discuss.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Jiangxi, who was clenching his fists, and went forward to say, “You can’t say that. Yesterday, my father specially asked me and Second Brother to invite him with a box of eggs and two catties of pork.”
