Shen Ningshan and Shen Ningjing walked a long way before stopping.
Turning back for a glance, they found that Ye Liyan had already returned to the courtyard. Shen Ningjing anxiously said, "Big Brother, what should we do?"
Shen Ningshanâs face was also quite grim. If they couldnât find a house for their younger brother Ninglei as a wedding home, the most likely ones to suffer would be themselves, since three rooms in the courtyard were allocated to him as the eldest brother.
If the third houseâs room couldnât be borrowed, then they shouldnât even think about the main house. The last option would be to clear out a room in the second houseâs courtyard. The second sister lives in the side room, and the younger brother certainly wouldnât want to get married in a side room. Their sonâs main room might not be saved.
But if their sons lose their rooms, where will they live in the future?
His wife would definitely quarrel with him again, really a headache.
Shen Ningjing watched her big brotherâs changing expressions, feeling very anxious. She wasnât worried about her big brother kicking their family out, but if they couldnât borrow a house for their younger brother as a wedding home, they would have to vacate the room belonging to the younger brother and nephews. In that case, her sister-in-law might not be happy. What if she tells her to give up her side room? After all, sheâs already a married daughter, really more and more distressing as she thinks about it.
Ye Liyan didnât care what the two siblings of the Shen familyâs second house thought or did. It was already out of respect for his deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law that he didnât retaliate against the Shen familyâs main house and second house. If they werenât sensible, then they shouldnât blame him for being ruthless.
He Jinxuan saw him return, "Did you send them off?"
He had lived in the Shen family courtyard for ten years, and naturally was quite familiar with Shen Ningshan and Shen Ningjing from the second house. They were opportunists, but at least they had more principles than the main house members.
Ye Liyan nodded, "They really dare to dream, coming here to borrow the third houseâs room from me, even drawing big promises like saying theyâll pay rent like others. Do they really take others for fools?"
Then he thought of something, "Do you think they might come to you and ask you to act as a mediator?"
He Jinxuan glanced towards the main door, a cold gleam in his eyes, "Itâs not impossible either."
The second house people might not be as ruthless as the main house, but when it comes to their own vital interests, they arenât much different. They wouldnât care what others think.
Seeing that it was getting late, He Jinxuan entered the house, "Yanyan, itâs getting late, we should go. If weâre late, Granny Zhang will worry."
Xinyan smiled brightly at him, "Hold on a moment, let me finish this game."
The two little onesâ faces immediately changed when they heard their uncle and Aunt Yan were about to leave. Little Siyan switched from his brotherâs side to Xinyanâs side, "Aunt Yan, canât you stay?"
Xinyan smiled and pinched his little face, "Iâll come to see you again when I have time."
Siyan put on a sad face, "My dadâs cooking is really terrible."
Hearing this, Xinyan teased him on purpose, "Sigh, I was moved for nothing. I thought you couldnât bear to see me leave, but you just want me to stay and cook for you. Iâm so heartbroken."
Ye Siyan got anxious, waved his little hands, and said, "No, no, I couldnât bear to see Aunt Yan go."
Then he directly hugged Xinyanâs arm and muttered quietly, "I also want to eat Aunt Yanâs cooking."
Xinyan was just about to say something when she glanced and saw Ye Liyan standing at the door, tilting his head and looking in, "My dadâs cooking is really bad. Iâm not lying."
Ye Liyan chuckled in exasperation, "You little rascal, disdaining my cooking now? Well, then donât eat what I cook from now on."
Ye Siyan pouted, with an expression that seemed to say, "What can you do about it?" "Then Iâll eat at the canteen from now on."
