Chapter 173: Chapter 174 There’s No Child Like One’s Own Chapter 173: Chapter 174 There’s No Child Like One’s Own Ye Xiu was stunned and took a while to realize what Bai Dan was talking about.
“Is what you’re saying really true?”
But the next mont, she didn’t doubt it anymore. Yes, Xingxing had always been so well-behaved, how could she possibly do sothing as worriso as running away from ho?
It must be Nan Xi, always claiming to do it for them, but actually only intensifying conflicts. Just like her current feelings toward Nan Xi—she didn’t have any fondness left, while Bai Da seed more concerned about her.
“If you’re okay, you can go have a walk around the village.”
After saying this, Bai Dan turned and went out.
Go have a walk?
Ye Xiu was stunned for a mont, then quickly realized—was her father-in-law suggesting she go out and see what Bai Da and the others might be saying?
Or was it sothing else?
Ye Xiu didn’t know, but she obediently went out and wandered aimlessly in the village. It didn’t take long before people started asking about Nan Xi.
At that mont, Ye Xiu realized that, all along, her father-in-law had seen things the clearest.
“Ye Xiu, has your family found Nan Xi? How could that child just run off by herself?”
Ye Xiu caught her breath and showed a forced smile. She opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, seeming a bit troubled, but then closed it again without speaking.
“What’s going on with you, just tell . I’m not an outsider, am I going to gossip?”
It was Aunt Niu speaking, her words filled with deep concern, especially reflected in the creases on her face that added an air of simplicity and trustworthiness.
But really, was that the case?
How could it be? Even Ye Xiu knew about Aunt Niu’s big mouth. But because of this, she….
“Aunt Niu, since you’ve said that, I’ll share a bit of what’s on my mind with you today. I’m feeling really troubled.”
Ye Xiu seed to truly trust Aunt Niu, and only then did she slowly begin to speak.
“If you’re troubled, just talk to . It won’t feel as bad once you’ve said it.”
“Oh…” Ye Xiu sighed deeply, clearly in distress.
“Sister Niu, you don’t know, these past few days Bai Da and I have been having so disagreents. But tell , who doesn’t have argunts with their spouse, right?”
Hearing this, Aunt Niu nodded. It made sense—teeth clash with each other sotis too, so it’s normal for spouses.
“But Xixi thinks our argunts are because of her. She insists that I can’t stand her. Just yesterday, I said I wanted to talk it over with Bai Da, and then she ran off. I haven’t eaten since; I was searching for her all day. But she claid she ran away to help us reconcile. She made it sound like I forced her to leave. Now it’s like I can’t even have my own feelings.
You all know, when I ca back last ti wasn’t I loaded with bags, buying clothes, trousers, and shoes for her? My own daughter Xingxing doesn’t even get dressed as well as she does. I really feel like I’m letting my own girl down.”
Initially pretending to be distressed, at this mont, Ye Xiu was genuinely upset. She had been so good to soone else’s daughter, only to be repaid by an ingrate, while her own Xingxing suffered.
“It’s just like this. Speaking of Bai Zhi, I really need to say more. That child is so sensible. Look at what Bai Da dresses them in. They’ve gotten so thin. Ye Xiu, no child is more precious than your own, why can’t you see that?”
They were all shocked when they found out, no child should bear all that.
“Sister Niu, I thought what I bought was accounted for, but my own daughter had nothing…”
Aunt Niu held Ye Xiu for a long ti, finally, Ye Xiu broke down and cried bitterly…
Of course, later everyone got to know everything about today. Aunt Niu’s assurances really ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
