Chapter 177: All We Know

Chapter 177

Not long after, the sound of banging on the table came from the room. Even through the door, the muffled sound was still clear, indicating the amount of force being used.

Zhi Xia initially wanted to go and see, but she was stopped by Liu Ling. "Don't go. The Wang family might have done something. If we go over and accidentally hurt your second brother's reputation..."

Zhi Xia realized that Liu Ling was right.

Everyone has their own privacy, hidden corners they don't want others to know about.

If they accidentally stumbled upon it, it would put her second brother in an even more awkward situation.

Fortunately, after a short while, the door was opened. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

The old lady seemed a bit listless and was supported by An Zhiren.

The old master seemed fine, but his cold expression was somewhat intimidating.

"Wen Qing's mother, bring a pill from the tea cabinet for your grandmother," the old master instructed, and Liu Ling hurried to fetch it.

These pills were sent by Zhi Xia later on. The initial batch had already been consumed.

After taking them for a long time, both the old master and the old lady felt the effects. The pills not only nourished their bodies but also calmed their minds. They were indeed a good thing.

Under the care of her daughter-in-law, the old lady swallowed the pill, and she immediately felt much better. "These two children are almost weaned. Zhi Ren, tidy up and take your sister-in-law back with you. Your grandmother hasn't been feeling well these past few days. You go back and have your wife come over to take care of this old lady for a few days."

An Zhiren hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to Grandma."

He understood very well that this so-called "taking care" was not as simple as serving tea and pouring water in the eyes of others.

The old master and the old lady already knew the whole story. Their opinion was that An Zhiren should handle the matter with the Wang family on his own. After all, he was not young anymore, and going through such experiences would be beneficial to him.

But Wang Caixiang was different. Being kept under An Zhiren's watchful eye for a long time would easily influence him.

A person with malicious intentions can scheme once, and they can strike again.

With only a pair of hands, she couldn't carry them both, so she took off her shoes and lay in bed with the three of them.

Since mid-afternoon, there had been occasional sounds of firecrackers.

Pei Chenye was brave. After a slight daze, he became excited and crawled into Pei Jingteng's arms, reaching out to go outside.

Wanqing, on the other hand, was much more timid and was scared, rushing into Zhi Xia's arms. It took a long time to calm her down, but she still couldn't be comforted completely.

Pei Jingteng took the eldest child outside, and Sister Zhang came over when she heard the children crying, properly helping to call their souls. "Wanqing... Soul, come..."

She waved her hand outside, reminding Zhi Xia, "A child's soul is unstable. If they get scared, quickly help them call their soul, otherwise, they might lose their soul."

Zhi Xia smiled and responded, "I understand, thank you, Sister Zhang."

Sister Zhang handed the child to Zhi Xia and said, "Then I'll go prepare the New Year's Eve dinner first."

Sister Zhang still has her mother-in-law at home, so she doesn't have to worry about everything and can prepare here before going back to have a meal directly.

Grandfather gave her a fish and meat two days ago, giving her plenty of face, so she's not afraid of being criticized when she goes home.

As everyone returned, Pei Jing told her at the door, "There are fireworks outside, cover the child's ears."

Since Chenye wasn't afraid, he thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them and held Chenye in his arms to watch the fireworks.

He covered the child's ears with one hand and watched the fireworks in the courtyard crackling and bursting into sparks. The little one kicked his legs excitedly and kept babbling. As a result, a drool dribbled down his chin and smeared on Pei Jing's chest.

Pei Jing cast a disdainful glance at her own chest and started to numb herself. She reminded herself that she gave birth to him and couldn't be disgusted.

Pei Jianguo, who had set off the fireworks, inadvertently noticed the situation here and curiously walked over to amuse the little one. "This little brat has quite the courage. Do you like fireworks?"

Today, Chenye clearly understood a lot of words, and he knew that fireworks were things that exploded. As soon as he heard those two words mentioned, he became excited and stomped his feet, but he couldn't speak, so he could only make "mhm" sounds.

Seeing his excitement, Pei Jianguo also found it amusing and ostentatiously took out a big firecracker. "Little one, watch as your brother sets off a big firework for you to see."
