"Little Zi’er, don’t be sad, it breaks my heart. Don’t forget, you still have ."
Zhou Zhenghui guessed that Xie Jingzi probably had a misunderstanding with her younger sisters. Seeing her saddened face, he felt slightly displeased with Wang Chuni and couldn’t bear to see his wife looking so pitiful, so he comforted her gently and softly.
He wasn’t really good at handling these minor conflicts between won.
Zheng Hui tenderly pulled her into his arms and comforted her by whispering in her ear.
"Uh-huh..." That’s right, she still has her uncle, and her relatives. There’s nothing to feel sorry about.
Xie Jingzi was easily contented; hearing her uncle’s words, her mood began to brighten. She nodded vigorously and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
On the other side, Wang Chuni cautiously looked at Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law sitting together. Third Brother’s face looked quite stern, which made her dare not peek anymore, and she lowered her head to softly play and joke with Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.
"Husband, what’s wrong with you?" Why do you look so painfully stifled?
As Yan Jinsu is Xie Jingchen’s wife, while others might think Xie Jingchen was getting angry, she could clearly feel that her husband was actually suppressing excitent to keep his face from breaking.
"Cough~ It’s nothing, just saw a joke from Zheng Hui." Xie Jingchen reached over and took the ball of yarn his wife was holding and put it back into the basket, "Wife, this thing is bad for your eyes, don’t bother with it."
"But, I want to make small hats for Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi." Mainly because she didn’t have such small hats in her Space.
The two little ones were growing bigger and stronger, the hats made before had gotten too small, and would probably not fit in another month, so she needed to prepare new hats for the children in advance.
"Wife, don’t always focus on the kids." Think about him too. Xie Jingchen almost blurted out the latter part, but fortunately, sanity returned at the last mont, and he glanced at the other side where one adult and two children were playing happily on the sofa, finally swallowed back his words.
"It’s all your fault, in my current condition, I can’t do this, and there’s nothing else I can do. Xiaojiu just asked if I needed to go to the hospital to get checked. Look, others can tell that this belly isn’t just carrying one!"
"Uh-huh, it’s my fault, be careful not to hurt your hand, wife." His body was all firm muscles, if soone hit him without his consent, his muscles would instinctively counterattack.
There, with a loud ’slap’, Yan Jinsu felt like she had hit a piece of steel. She let out a sharp cry, covering her hand, and complained discontentedly:
"Husband, your body really hurts too much!"
Xie Jingchen reflexively took her small hand and examined it while comforting her: "Wife, are you hurt?"
As for his wife’s complaints, that was just nonsense. He knew what condition his body was in, and as his wife, she knew it best.
"Look, it’s all red." Yan Jinsu pouted. Her hand had indeed turned red, being quite delicate all over.
"Wife, next ti you’re angry, just pinch instead. That won’t hurt your hand."
"Hey, husband, what is this way of talking? Next ti, are you planning to let get angry occasionally?"
Yan Jinsu stared wide-eyed at her husband, annoyed. Couldn’t this man speak properly? Was this how you coax your wife? It was ridiculously funny!
"Wife, how can I be sure about this kind of thing? I’m not the worm in your stomach. Besides, isn’t there a saying ’a couple’s spat at the head of the bed ends at the foot of the bed’? Words passed down by our ancestors must be true."
Xie Jingchen teased his little wife. Life was so long, he certainly couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t make his little wife angry, he wasn’t keen on making verbal promises.
Besides, there were other reasons to get angry; jealousy, annoyance, and small temper tantrums were all part of marital fun, how could he possibly strip that away?
"Hmph, you always have a bunch of theories ready, I, a simple village girl, can’t outtalk you." Yan Jinsu retorted with a straight face but upon seeing her husband’s gentle gaze, she couldn’t help but burst into a short laugh within half a minute.
"Jerk, you just love making laugh!" Yan Jinsu wouldn’t seriously fight with her husband over such a trivial matter. It was exactly such bickering that made the couple’s interactions sowhat childish.
Xie Jingchen loved seeing his little wife’s adorable petulant side, so being scolded didn’t upset him; with a soft look, he easily pacified his little wife’s temper, she was really easy to coax.
"Wife." Xie Jingchen cradled the back of her head with his big hand, tenderly calling her.
From his plain words, Yan Jinsu sensed a plea for rcy. Sohow, it ward her heart. She playfully pinched his waist, effectively turning the page on the situation.
Just then, Xie Jingzi and Zhou Zhenghui returned.
This ti, Xie Jingzi no longer ignored Wang Chuni. Rembering her role in defending her Third Sister-in-law, Xie Jingzi willingly approached her, bowing deeply:
"Wang Chuni, thank you for saving my Third Sister-in-law and the nephews."
For Xie Jingzi, this bow was wholehearted. As long as her Third Sister-in-law was safe, she was willing to pour tea and admit fault to Wang Chuni.
"No, no, Xiaozi, don’t do that, it’s what I should’ve done." Wang Chuni was genuinely startled by Xie Jingzi’s gesture and quickly jumped aside.
Hearing Wang Chuni call her by her childhood nickna, Xie Jingzi’s expression stiffened a bit, but she didn’t snap back; she just nodded and took a few big steps towards the Third Sister-in-law.
Xie Jingzi’s action puzzled Yan Jinsu, who then pinched her husband’s waist a bit harder. Seeing her little aunt’s startled look, she comforted:
"Little one, don’t panic, I’m perfectly fine, and I truly appreciate Chun i’s protection back then. Little one, Chun i, you’re similar in age and were junior high classmates, you should get along well; don’t let past events hinder your friendship now."
Xie Jingzi used to dislike Wang Chuni, but hearing Third Sister-in-law’s words, knowing Wang Chuni truly hadn’t hard her, she could only nod gloomily, "Got it, Third Sister-in-law."
"Xiaozi..." Seeing how well Xie Jingzi was taking it, Wang Chuni felt a touch emotional as she softly called her.
Xie Jingzi glanced at the Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother, and then thought about her parents who really liked the one who was once a close friend, she ultimately resigned herself to calling, "Chun i."
Not satisfied with the current reconciliation, Xie Jingzi finally snapped fiercely at Wang Chuni:
"Hmph, Wang Chuni, don’t think I have forgiven you now. If you dare play the fool like a weathercock again, I, Xie Jingzi, will never deal with you again!"
Only Wang Chuni and Zhou Zhenghui, who stood behind her, heard her low voice.
