He Yuejin followed Third Brotherâs instructions to inform Sister and Brother-in-law.
Meanwhile, He Jinxuan went directly to the second familyâs yard, seeing no one outside: "Second Brother, are you there?"
He Jian Country had already heard He Jinxuan speaking in the other yard, but because of losing his job, he had developed a grudge against He Jinxuan.
He Jinxuan went straight into the house: "Second Brother, why didnât you respond when you are inside?"
He Jian Country turned his head to look at him, though he resented Third Brother, he knew he was in the wrong: "Having lost my job, my mood is naturally bad, and when Iâm in a bad mood, I naturally donât want to talk."
He Jinxuan ignored the meaning behind his words and directly said, "Come to Mom and Dadâs for dinner tonight, and weâll discuss compensating Sister-in-law then."
He Jian Country wanted to retort, but before he could speak, he heard He Jinxuan say coldly, "Unless you want to completely fall out with the first family and not have any dealings with them anymore?
Donât forget, Fifth Brother is getting married in a few days. If you donât want there to be a barrier in Fifth Brotherâs heart, show some attitude tonight and resolve this issue. Iâll only handle it this once and wonât intervene again."
After speaking, he turned and left. How to choose was now up to them.
Soon, the fourth of the He Family, He Yanqing and his wife, walked into the courtyard together: "Mom, Ziqiang and I are here."
Mother He was busy in the kitchen. Although He Yanqing was a bit selfish, he was still filial to his parents: "Mom, let me help you."
As he spoke, he washed his hands: "Mom, does my Second Sister-in-law know about having dinner together tonight?"
Mother He was busy with her tasks: "I didnât go over to find her; I donât want to hear her nonsense."
This time, He Yanqing also didnât agree with Second Brother and Second Sister-in-lawâs actions: "In this matter, though my Second Sister-in-law wasnât intentional, she definitely didnât have good intentions at that time, otherwise my Sister-in-law wouldnât have had an accident.
If it were someone else, they would have surely come to apologize long ago, but instead, she just ran back to her parentsâ house, and the Gao Family, theyâre truly stingy. They only brought one can of preserves to the hospital to visit the patient, which shows no sincerity at all; itâs really shameful."
Mother He feared that her eldest daughter-in-law would feel upset if she heard this: "Speak softly, you two were called back to persuade people, not to add fuel to the fire."
He Yanqing saw his mother was angry: "Alright, alright, alright, I wonât say anymore, okay?"

Meanwhile, over at Xinyanâs place, Han Jingchen was waiting for her at the gate at noon and picked her up to head to Mr. Duâs together.
Mr. Duâs house had already been prepared in advance, and when they entered, they saw that there were other people in the living room.
As Han Jingchen and Xinyan entered, Mr. Du stood up smiling and introduced, pulling Xinyan over: "This is your senior apprentice brother, Ma Chengxi, the deputy director of the First Peopleâs Hospital, who also serves as the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
Ma Chengxi looked at Xinyan with a smile: "Hello, junior sister."
Xinyan smiled and said, "Hello."
Originally, she intended to call him senior apprentice brother, but since she hadnât yet offered tea to her master, she felt it wasnât proper, so she refrained.
Mr. Du then pointed to another individual: "This is your second senior apprentice brother, Wang Manchun, the head of the Neurology Department at the Third Peopleâs Hospital."
Wang Manchun smiled and nodded at Xinyan: "Junior sister, Master hasnât stopped bragging about you these past few days. If you werenât opposed to making a splash, Master would probably love to throw a banquet and announce it to the world."
Mr. Du chimed in: "Back then, you could only be described as diligent and studious, but Xinyan is naturally gifted. Itâs something you canât be envious of, so donât get jealous."
