Yan Jinsu originally just wanted to lie down for a bit, but with Xiao Shi nestling in and Xiaojiu naturally drawing close, her hand resting on Xiaojiu’s body, mother and children gradually synchronized their breathing. Before long, Yan Jinsu fell asleep.
Having run in the rain for several hours, her body was already overburdened. As for the husband she was worried about, she had set aside that concern for now.
As dawn broke, Yan Jinsu was abruptly awoken by the clamor outside the room.
Who could that be? The noisy voices outside the hall made her, fresh from sleep and still sowhat befuddled, run her fingers through her shoulder-length hair...
Yan Jinsu stirred, and the two children also opened their eyes.
Seeing their mommy awake brought smiles to Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi as they each called out, "Ya, ya."
At this mont, aside from her own children, Da Hong and Er Qiang were also nowhere to be seen.
How deeply had she slept?
"Xiaojiu, Xiao Shi, good morning. You babies did great!" Yan Jinsu hugged one child to each side, "Let’s go, it’s daylight. After we pee, we can go out and bask in the sun!"
There weren’t things like calcium and zinc supplents at this ti, and Yan Jinsu didn’t think the children necessarily needed dicinal supplentation of these trace elents; simply feeding them a drop of Spirit Core Water from ti to ti made them stronger than all other children their age.
Sunbathing in the morning was a common way to absorb calcium, and that she could support.
"Ya ya"
"Yes, yes, I know you love it. But first, we need to pee and wash up before we go to the courtyard to enjoy the sun, okay~"
When Yan Jinsu ca out holding the children, she looked up to see the old man who should not be here!
"Aiyo, my dear granddaughter, you’re finally awake. Co on, hurry and bring the great-grandchildren over for the old man to see~~"
"Old man, why are you here?" Yan Jinsu’s tone was quite unfriendly, but she did not act discourteously, and after asking, she had no intention of complying with his request.
"Mom, you take Xiaojiu to pee."
Yan Jinsu handed off Xiaojiu to her mother-in-law, and as she was about to take Xiao Shi to pee, Xie Jinghong stepped forward, took Xiao Shi from her, and said, "Little girl, your family is here. You keep them company; I will take good care of the children."
"Oh~ Thank you, Second Sister Xie."
She also observed the scene in the courtyard, especially the various large and small packages—it was clear that they were brought by Yan Xiqing.
"Go on, hurry. If you didn’t wake up soon, I was about to call soone. I can’t stand that old man’s gaze!" Zhou Xiuhua waved her hand, hinting the little girl to quickly deal with the impatient Buddha-like figure.
"Why are you here? Did you sneak out all by yourself?" Yan Jinsu didn’t see any of the Yan Family behind him and imdiately guessed what was going on.
"Heh, I say, you girl, is this the way to treat your own grandfather?"
"Then how should I behave? Like your favored granddaughter, calling a pack of wolves to treat ?"
"What? Girl, are you saying those wolves were set by her?"
"Hmph, if I hadn’t been alert, you’d have co here only to find the whole village slaughtered clean by the Wild Wolves!"
"!" Yan Xiqing’s face darkened, he stared at Yan Jinsu angrily, his voice tinged with helplessness and bitterness as he advised:
"Girl, you can’t bla the old man because of your mom’s negligence! You should know that Zhang Shan Ni has always enjoyed our family’s complete affection for you! Even if your mom failed in her duties before, she has suffered too. Even if you refuse to acknowledge her, you can’t not recognize your grandfather!"
"Humph, you’ve said all the nice things, so who should be blad for all the suffering I’ve endured over the years? Yes, she is now sick and has forgotten all the past grudges, but I haven’t forgotten! Why don’t you, old man, find so kind of Miracle dicine for to take, to forget all the hardships I’ve suffered before!"
"You brat, you’re just trying to provoke !"
"That’s not it, old man. I’ve grown up and my personality is set. I’m even married and have children now. I’m not particularly attached to life with the Zhang Family. But if you’re here to persuade to return to the Yan Family, you really don’t have to. Whether I go back or not, I am now Ms. Yan of the Xie Family!"
Yan Jinsu shrugged her shoulders and replied directly.
Old Man Yan just wanted her to return to the Yan Family, to formally acknowledge and pay respects to the ancestors, but— what does that have to do with Yan Jinsu? She’s not the original owner anyway; the ancestors of the Yan Family have nothing to do with her!
Think they can change her na and she’ll comply with their wishes and return to the Yan Family? No way!
They’ve miscalculated her nature. Yan Jinsu would only have two words for all the Yan Family mbers: "Dream on!"
No matter what, she now has her own husband and children. She really doesn’t want to get involved with the Yan Family matters.
Then there’s the Tao Family to consider. Just the thought of more and more ’relatives’ makes Yan Jinsu feel suffocated.
Everyone’s grown up, and there were no close ties since childhood, who can’t live without whom!
However, seeing Mr. Yan as well as the two guards sitting in the courtyard, a thought suddenly struck Yan Jinsu.
Old Man Yan really showed up at just the right ti, didn’t he? Wasn’t he like a sentry delivered right to her door?
If this old man stayed at the Xie Family for a couple of days, that would give her enough ti to investigate her husband’s situation.
Of course, Yan Xiqing’s following words were exactly what she wanted to hear!
"I don’t care, even if you’re now Ms. Yan of the Xie Family, Yan is still the surna you had before! I’m telling you, if you don’t co back to Beijing with this ti, I won’t go back either!"
"You’re acting so carefree, does your son know about this?" Yan Jinsu’s mouth twitched with disdain as she asked him.
"What do I need my son to know for? It’s enough that my granddaughter knows!" Old Yan Xiqing really is youthful at heart, instantly keeping up with Yan Jinsu’s conversation.
Yan Jinsu was choked up by his quick-witted response and was speechless.
Thinking it over, she looked at the sky—when exactly did the old man start his drive down here?
"Old man, did you drive down here last night?"
That can’t be right. There were no wild wolves last night, and Beijing is too far from here. It’s not like it’s the county town that you can reach in six or seven hours!
"You’re not good at calculating! How could I have gotten here so early if I ca down last night!" Yan Xiqing replied smugly:
"I ca down the day before yesterday. Before coming here, I even went to see your Little Grandma. I don’t get how they managed it, but they couldn’t find anyone!"
Yan Jinsu’s face twitched—Little Grandma? This damn old man really dares to say anything!
Wait a second... Yan Jinsu thought about the information her husband gave her about the Yan Family—it seems, probably, that this grandfather in front of her really did take a stepmother!
Calling the second wife ’Little Grandma’ also seems to be correct!
For a mont, Yan Jinsu truly felt choked up and frustrated inside.
"Or, you can go and look for more people. Otherwise, if sothing goes wrong, what will we do?"
"Pfft, do you think I need you to tell that? I’ve already asked the local police to look for her. If the police aren’t used when they’re needed, then what good are they?"
"..." For a mont, Yan Jinsu actually felt like she was outrageously stupid!
