The reason she didnât drive Yuâs mother away directly was to see what she wanted to do?
Letting Yuâs mother into the yard was also to avoid being laughed at by others. After all, sheâs been living at Granny Zhangâs for so long; the neighbors all know her.
Han Jingchen sat down on the stone bench: "Weâre planning to let them book tickets for the day after tomorrow morning."
Granny Zhang thought for a moment: "Since youâre leaving anyway, why not go tomorrow? That way, once you return to the Capital, you can have a day to rest."
Xinyan and her father naturally understood what Granny Zhang had in mind.
With the Yu Familyâs temperament, theyâre afraid they might come again.
Xinyan also thought it made sense since theyâre leaving anyway, thereâs no difference between tomorrow and the day after: "Dad, why donât we listen to Granny Zhang and go back to Beijing tomorrow? If Granny Zhangâs health permits, I can accompany her out the day after tomorrow."
Han Jingchen had no objections: "Alright then, Iâll go out again and have them change the booking to tomorrowâs tickets."
After Han Jingchen finished speaking, he drank a glass of water Xinyan had poured for him and then went out the door.
The reason he didnât feel comfortable letting Xinyan return alone was because he was worried the Yu Family would come looking for trouble. Thankfully, he had returned with her.
Granny Zhang didnât plan to stay in Beijing long, so she only brought two sets of clothes and daily necessities, all packed in one bag.

When Yuâs mother returned home, she kept cursing under her breath: "Truly heartless, even though it was just a little help."
Yu Erlili, because of the previous drama, didnât dare to leave the house, but she kept wandering in the yard, peeking outside countless times.
Upon hearing sounds outside the gate, she hurried to the door: "Mom, how did it go? Did that dead girl agree?"
When Yuâs mother pushed open the gate and saw Yu Erlili, her mood worsened: "Donât even mention it. That dead girl said sheâs settled things with the Yu Family and wonât help."
Hearing this, Yu Erliliâs face twisted with anger: "How could she be so heartless?"
As Yu Familyâs eldest daughter-in-law returned from the fields and was about to enter the house, she overheard their conversation and scoffed internally: Just listen to those words, as if itâs so justified.
Ever since Yu Erliliâs affairs were exposed, the Yu Family had become a village joke.
For the past few days, she had sent her children to her familyâs house, planning to bring them back when things calmed down. Now, hearing her mother-in-law and sister-in-law talk, she knew Yu Erlili probably wasnât leaving anytime soon, which was frustrating.
But she didnât want her frustration to keep her from entering the yard.
Just as she stepped into the yard, she heard Yu Erlili anxiously say: "Mom, what should I do? I canât stay at home forever. That Qianâs wife will surely come looking for us. If Iâm at home, it wonât be peaceful here either."
Yuâs mother understood but, hearing Han Xinyanâs tone, realized there was no room for negotiation, especially with her father around.
She was sure that if she dared to go find that dead girl again, who knows how heâd deal with the Yu Family?
Yuâs mother furrowed her brows: "Letâs wait for your father to come back and discuss it."
Yu Erlili was a bit anxious: "Mom, they wonât be here long; we canât wait any longer."
Yuâs mother, feeling a headache from Yu Erlili, noticed the eldest daughter-in-law entering the yard: "You, go call everyone home."
Although the Yu Familyâs eldest daughter-in-law was very unhappy internally, since her mother-in-law had said it, she had no choice but to agree and went back to the fields to call people.
After Yu Tiancheng returned with his three sons, they didnât even wash their hands before asking, "Did she agree?"
