This matter was confessed by He Jinxuan to Xinyan last time. Sister Shen is somewhat gossipy, always looking for some drama.
Xinyan smiled faintly: "It seems their family will be arguing every day in the future. Envying others is not scary, but if it messes up your home life to a chaos, then it becomes a joke."
She wouldnât hold back her tongue for someone who used to have designs on her man, and now wants to compete with her in every way.
She simply regards her as a joke.
He Jinxuan also frowned: "Sister Shen, donât repeat that. Even if she forces the Lu Family to the brink, she still canât compare to my wife."
As soon as he said that, not only Sister Shen, but several people who were watching the Lu Family drama nearby also heard him.
However, they understood that Captain Heâs words were quite honest, as Wang Baoliang often praised Captain Heâs wife in the residential area.
While they were talking, a leader from the transport company intervened, and the argument ceased.
Xinyan was about to return inside to tidy up when she heard Ye Siyanâs voice: "Aunt, my brother and I came to see you."
Xinyan looked towards the sound and saw Ye Siyan running over, with Ye Silai following behind, while Ye Liyan was left far behind by his two brothers.
Xinyan looked at the two little guys who had grown a lot taller: "Tell me, what do you want to eat tonight? Aunt will make it for you."
Before the two kids could speak, He Jinxuan chimed in: "You donât need to cook tonight. Iâll show you if my cooking skills have improved."
Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan and laughed: "Alright, weâll be counting on you. If thereâs no progress, we wonât let it go."
Ye Siyan looked up assertively: "Uncle, I want to eat braised pork bones."
Xinyan laughed unkindly: "Our Siyan is great."
Seeing his wife gloating, He Jinxuan poked her forehead: "Youâre having fun, arenât you? Itâs all for you."
While they were happily chatting, Ye Liyan, the hardworking one, walked over: "You two heartless ones, ran off quickly without caring for me."
Ye Siyan turned away ignoring him: "Hmph, I donât want to talk to you."
After saying that, he pulled Xinyan into the courtyard.
Ye Silai, not wanting to talk either, silently followed them into the courtyard.
Xinyan noticed the odd behavior of the father and sons: "Whatâs wrong with you guys, having a falling out?"
Although Ye Siyan had grown taller, he still couldnât keep anything to himself. Especially since he was close to Xinyan, he continued to communicate with her even after moving with his dad to the base, never treating his aunt and uncle as outsiders.
Once inside, Ye Siyan reported: "Aunt, we went back to the research institute, and before Lin Xiaopang said his grandma didnât want his aunt to get too close with my dad and forced Aunt Lin into matchmaking.
Later, she even had a talk with my dad and said some really unpleasant things. But today, Grandma Lin actually intercepted my dad to talk for a long time, and then Lin Xiaopang said his grandma wanted my dad to marry Aunt Lin."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan understood why Ye Liyan agreed to work at the base far away â it was because of Lin Kaixin.
She did call Lin Kaixin when she got married, but she didnât come. However, she did send a gift, so something must have happened?
Ye Liyan and He Jinxuan followed them inside and heard the youngest sonâs words, feeling a bit awkward.
Nonetheless, he didnât want Xinyan and He Jinxuan to misunderstand: "Sili, take your brother to play under the grapevine while I talk with your uncle and aunt."
Ye Silai, being understanding, although still angry, took his brother outside.
Xinyan quickly went to the kitchen to cut some watermelon and brought out a plate of Daoxiang Village pastries: "You two can play in the yard, and Iâll take you out to buy roasted duck later."
The two youngsters were delighted and obediently sat under the grapevine.
Having settled the little guys, she went inside: "Tell me, whatâs really going on?"
Ye Liyan sighed: "Previously, Lin Kaixin approached me, saying she wanted to date me. But as you know, ever since Ninghui passed, I havenât planned to remarry, so I turned her down. However, Lin Kaixin wasnât willing to give up.
Later, her mom may have noticed something. At first, she might have considered various factors thinking, while not the best, itâs still okay, and tried to clarify it with me.
Lin Kaixin didnât want her mom to make a fool of herself, so she revealed that I rejected her. Her mom perhaps wanted to stick up for her daughter, taking a chance to give me quite a lecture.
To avoid any awkward interactions in the future, and coincidentally the base wanted me to go over, I agreed."
He helplessly pushed up his glasses: "This matter would have ended there, but unexpectedly after I left, the Lin Family didnât want Lin Kaixin to delay anymore, and started introducing various matchmaking.
Lin Kaixin, perhaps thinking differently, soon brought a man home, claiming he was her boyfriend."
At this point, Ye Liyan paused for a while before continuing: "Not long ago, a group of friends was drinking, and the two of them engaged in a relationship while drunk, later discovering she was pregnant.
Both families were planning their marriage, but recently, Kaixin had an accident, lost the child, and the doctor said she might not be able to bear children in the future. The boy has three sisters above him and is the only son, so once his family found out, they came to break off the engagement."
Xinyan understood: "So Lin Kaixinâs mom reached out to you again, wanting you to marry Kaixin?"
