Chapter 495: Watch Your Mouth

Yu’s mother shook her head and said, "That dead girl doesn’t care at all."

Yu’s father listened, his expression turning grave: "Erlili’s situation certainly means she can’t stay at home anymore."

When it happened, he felt ashamed, but after all, she is his daughter. Angry as he was, scold her as he might, he couldn’t just ignore her.

But if she stayed in Beilan Village, she wouldn’t live peacefully, and neither would the family.

They could only find a way to send her away first.

Erlili has already lost her reputation, and having the child will be more advantageous for her. After much consideration, Xinyan is the only suitable option.

But what to do now?

Yu Erlili was anxious: "Dad, that dead girl won’t agree. What should we do next?"

Yu’s father frowned at his daughter: "Now it’s up to you to ask others for help. Watch your language with that ’dead girl’ stuff."

Yu Erlili mumbled, "This is just at home. I surely wouldn’t call her that to her face."

Yu’s father, with a stern face, said, "Watch your mouth. Don’t you know habits can become natural?"

Back then, without their consent, she registered for marriage with someone. Later, she stirred trouble involving other people’s families. He felt truly humiliated.

Thinking of the current situation at home, he felt stressed. Ever since Xinyan left, nothing had gone well at home.

An idea flashed across his mind but quickly vanished.

The youngest, Yu Shuiliang, spoke up, "If our whole family goes to see her, there’s no way she can refuse, right?

If she really refuses again, her reputation can’t be any better. Won’t people say she’s cold-blooded?"

Yu’s father rubbed his temples: "It’s getting late today. Tomorrow morning, our whole family will go together."

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

Granny Zhang got up and finished packing, and then Han Jingchen came over from the guesthouse.

Xinyan knew they’d be leaving early today. Hearing noises in the courtyard, she got up to pack too.

Since they needed to catch the train, they had agreed last night to have breakfast in the county.

The main reason was to avoid getting blocked by the Yu Family at home.

Granny Zhang locked the door and left the key to Grandma Su next door. After exchanging a few words, they got into the car they had arranged in advance and headed for the county.

After a bumpy ride, they first found a breakfast stall in the county, ate breakfast, and then headed to the city to catch the train.

Over the years, Granny Zhang had rarely been to the county, let alone the city. Throughout the trip, the old lady never closed her eyes, constantly gazing out the car window.

Xinyan noticed her interest and occasionally explained things to her.

Not long after retrieving tickets at the city train station, it was time for them to board. Once on the train, Granny Zhang said, "I guess the Yu Family will go over today."

Xinyan, unfazed, replied, "Seeing the house locked tight, they must be furious."

Thinking of that scene, Granny Zhang couldn’t help but laugh, "Let them be angry. Serves them right for being so shameless."

As they said, the Yu Family indeed arrived early in the town, only to discover that they had already left when they reached the Zhang Family.

Upon hearing they had left, Yu Erlili became utterly flustered and started cursing Xinyan right at Zhang’s doorway.

During her stay at Granny Zhang’s house, Xinyan got along well with the neighbors. How could they just stand by and listen? Soon, they drove the family away.

Yu’s mother was so upset that she fell ill after returning to the village. They called a doctor, who said, "Her illness is due to pent-up emotions. Try not to upset her."
