Song Zhanming finished speaking and supported Ge Suhua, shouting at his stepchildren, "Let’s go home, let’s not put up with this."

Seeing this, the neighbors couldn’t help but understand: wealth stirs the heart, and it seems the Song Family wants to stir trouble seeing Song Zhanming and his wife’s small general store making money.

Xinyan listened to the commotion outside while in the yard, feeling somewhat surprised, as the Song Family had been harmonious before, though there were small usual disagreements, none were major issues.

Once Song Zhanming left, only the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song Family remained, cursing meaninglessly, so everyone dispersed, considering it was the New Year and the weather was cold.

He Jinxuan worried about Xinyan, and as Song Zhanming’s family left, headed to his own yard.

Seeing Xinyan standing at the door, he asked, "Why did you come out?"

Xinyan lowered her voice, "I couldn’t hear clearly inside, so I came out."

He Jinxuan touched her hand, "Get inside quickly in this cold weather; your hand is getting cold."

Xinyan laughed, "Are you serious with my constitution?"

He Jinxuan disagreed, "Even with a good constitution, we can’t be careless. You’re a priority now; if you catch a cold, I’ll feel bad."

Xinyan teased, "You’re really just afraid Granny and Granny Zhang would deal with you, aren’t you?"

He Jinxuan saw her laughing like a little fox and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, so can’t you feel sorry for me and spare me from criticism?"

Xinyan was amused by his expression, "Alright, I’ll try."

He Jinxuan made a cup of milk for Xinyan, "Drink it to warm up."

Xinyan took it and then mentioned the neighbors, "Song Qian seemed harmonious before; how did things get chaotic?"

He Jinxuan put the baggage he brought back away before saying, "When conditions are similar, they naturally get along. Now, Song Zhanming’s small store is doing very well, so the Song Family wants a piece of the pie. Maybe they overdid it, leading to a fallout."

Xinyan sighed softly, "But the eldest sister-in-law of the Song Family is indeed being unreasonable; no matter how chaotic things get, she shouldn’t drag those two kids into it as they haven’t taken anything from her. It’s quite meddlesome, better not to associate with such people in the future."

He Jinxuan didn’t think Xinyan’s words were wrong; to gain benefits, they could speak harshly even to their brother’s family, let alone unrelated people, "Mm."

As they talked, Xinyan finished her milk.

Xinyan handed the cup to He Jinxuan, "With tonight’s incident, the Song Family’s previous reputation may have vanished, wonder if the people from the Song Family’s main household have realized yet."

He Jinxuan made the bed, "You’re becoming more and more concerned with gossip."

Xinyan looked at her belly, "Could this also be one of the pregnancy symptoms?"

She laughed out loud afterwards.

He Jinxuan looked at her with a doting expression, "I’ll get you water for soaking your feet, stop laughing, be careful of getting a stitch."

Xinyan nodded, "Mm, I won’t laugh anymore."

The next day she planned to return to her grandmother’s with her parents, so after soaking their feet, the two rested.

This was something several families had planned in advance, as tomorrow the cousin was going to visit her aunt’s family, her mother would visit her grandmother, and she decided to go with her mother to her grandmother’s place.

The elder aunt, elder cousin, and second cousin would also visit their family on the second day, so everyone agreed to gather for lunch on the third day at Han Family’s old house.

The following day, He Jinxuan got up early to prepare breakfast, "Little lazy, it’s time to get up, if you’re late Junjun will make fun of you again."
