"Mom, donât worry, weâll be careful. Donât worry, now we live here all year round and donât go back to the Capital City, even if he wants to scheme, itâs not that easy."
Lin Wan finally understood, Old Mei is wary of the people behind Chen Haichang, but she doesnât know who those people are in relation to Chen Haichang.
The family didnât keep talking about these bothersome matters; instead, they chatted about recent situations later.
Little Star told Grandpa and Grandma that she made a friend in the Capital City, and when Liang Hongmei learned it was Hua Hua, she frowned.
"Isnât Hua Hua the child of Ye Qing? Star, you shouldnât get too close to him; his mom is very fierce." Liang Hongmei didnât want to say too much in front of the children.
Little Star didnât understand what the adults were talking about, but she knew quite a lot about things. "Grandma, you were wrong; Hua Huaâs brother said his dad is very fierce, making him sleep on the tiny sofa, and heâs very scared. He said he wants to sleep with his mom, but his dad doesnât allow it. He also said his dad has never hugged him, and he envies my dad holding me."
Lin Wan frowned slightly upon hearing this; adult matters unfortunately affected the children.
"Isnât Ye Qingâs child Mei Langchiâs? Heâs fully aware and still wants to claim this child; isnât that foolish?" Liang Hongmei also felt uncomfortable listening; the child is innocent.
"Mei Langchi probably has his own plans," Han Yi smiled without revealing anything. Some things are clearer from a bystanderâs perspective.
Mei Langchi is just so stubborn, holding onto someone elseâs child and still wanting to fight. He doesnât think about whether itâs worth it in the end. Tonight, Han Yi and Lin Wanâs family didnât go back, and Little Star hadnât seen Grandpa for a while, so she definitely wouldnât sleep with them.
Lin Wan finished freshening up and returned to the room, pouting as she hugged Han Yiâs waist. "Old Mei wouldnât really think like that, would he?"
"I donât know what heâs thinking specifically, but heâs definitely not having good intentions. Donât worry, Iâm here."
Lin Wan certainly knew, with Han Yi around, she felt at ease; she was just sad for Han Yi. "Mm, I know."
Han Yi, would he not know what sheâs thinking? He sighed, gently patted her back to comfort her, and seemed to be comforting himself too.
The next day, Han Yi and Lin Wan went to see Grandma and Grandpa together. They stayed until noon before going back.
Because Little Star would start school tomorrow, in the afternoon Lin Wan dried the quilt she prepared for Little Star and got her backpack ready.
"Mom, Hanhan is going to second grade; why do I still have to go to kindergarten? I really want to go to school with Hanhan sister and Brother Yangyang." Little Star felt very unhappy to go to kindergarten alone.
"Because youâre not as old as those two, but itâs okay, after this year, you can go to elementary school! Do you want to be in the same class as Hanhan sister?"
"I do."
"Then listen to mom and study together with me. If your study is good, mom will help you apply for skipping a grade, okay?"
"Okay, I will study hard. Mom, I know what five plus six equals now."
"Mm-mm, youâre doing great, keep it up."
After Little Star started school, Lin Wan was a bit more relaxed at home during the day. Han Yi wouldnât let her cook; he would bring her lunch when he returned at noon.
Lin Wan spent every day lying in bed writing and drawing, and just like that, a week went by.
Who knew before Lin Wan could invite her sister and brother-in-law for dinner, something happened on their side.
At noon, Wang Yuan brother-in-law hurried over, breathless, asking them for help.
"Xiao Wan, please help me talk to your sister, sheâs planning to divorce me."
This surprised Han Yi and Lin Wan, who were having lunch.
"What happened, brother-in-law, are you two having a spat?"
"Itâs more serious than a spat; your sister suspects I have a woman outside. Right now, sheâs at home making a scene; look, she scratched me all over like this." Wang Yuan said helplessly with a bitter face. Right now, thereâs no good place on his body. After being married for so many years, this is the first time they foughtânot really, the first time he saw his wife lose her temper and indiscriminately scratch him. As a grown man, how could he hit a woman? He could only defend himself, but even his defense was ineffective. Now, like this, he canât go back to the troop. If his comrades saw this, they would laugh to death.
"Huh? Brother-in-law, whatâs going on?" Lin Wan was alarmed upon hearing about the mistress.
"I donât know about this either; letâs not talk about it now. You go first and try to persuade your sister."
