Chapter 1281: They Really Are a Bit Ungrateful

Mr. Ye chuckled, "It’s all the same; I’m already incredibly grateful that you didn’t shut them out."

Mr. He blushed with embarrassment. Whether these words were sincere or not, he couldn’t tell; he only regretted that he shouldn’t have thrown the two kids at Jinxuan back then.

Now, whether people were genuinely visiting or deliberately calling on them, it was all a torment to them.

After all, back in the day when they were struggling, Ninghui’s parents contributed so much—not only leaving money for buying food but also providing for Jinxuan’s living and education.

Though they had left behind the two kids, they turned around and handed them over to Jinxuan. Speaking of it, they were indeed a bit ungrateful.

Xinyan brewed a pot of tea with the leaves she brought back from the kitchen. "Come, come, I made some tea. Let’s see how it tastes."

Mr. He glanced at Xinyan gratefully, thinking: thankfully, the third daughter-in-law came to the rescue; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to continue the conversation.

Mr. Ye was a very wise man; he didn’t come to trouble them.

He wasn’t lying; back then, if someone from the Shen Family had come to deliver the kids and they were directly turned away, one could only imagine what the kids’ lives would be like.

It’s uncertain if they would have lasted until Liyan returned.

Now, the grandsons were doing well, and he wouldn’t dwell on past matters; he would only remember their kindness.

Expressing gratitude with a visit was naturally appropriate.

But that’s all—future gratitude should only be directed at Jinxuan, who truly raised the two grandsons.

Today, the He Family gathered, and they had a reunion dinner together.

Mr. Ye was quite talkative, answering every question, which opened the eyes of the younger generation in the family.

After dinner, the Ye Family didn’t linger long, citing the need to rest, and left.

Mr. Ye’s arrangements were already made, so Jinxuan and Xinyan didn’t follow; they just said they’d come by in the evening for acupuncture and join them for dinner.

After seeing them off, they returned to the house.

Mother He breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, they’re gone."

Xinyan didn’t respond, as their past actions were indeed inappropriate.

He Jinxuan spoke up, "Don’t overthink it; Uncle Ye just wanted to see where the kids grew up, plus Xinyan is treating him—the acupuncture can’t be interrupted, so he came along."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved and started discussing other topics.

He Jian Country, having borrowed money from Jinxuan and Xinyan’s couple and being unable to repay it now, was quite discreet today.

Xinyan and He Jinxuan were intelligent enough to see through it.

However, that money was initially lent with dual intentions: to minimize their troubles and achieve their goal. They lent it with the thought that it might be a lost cause.

When the family heard about He Jinxuan finding a substitute and wanting to start on his own, they had different reactions.

Mr. He glanced at his somewhat despondent second son and worriedly asked, "Will this work? If the unit leader finds out, will there be any objections?"

He Jinxuan laughed, "No worries, I’m thinking of resigning, and it’s the unit leader who suggested it. However, the substitute definitely can’t be in my old position."

Thinking of the third daughter-in-law’s and third son’s capabilities, he finally felt a bit relieved. "These things we don’t understand; you couple should discuss them. If there’s anything unclear, consult your father-in-law’s family and don’t act blindly."

As soon as Mr. He said this, Gao Yumei, sitting beside, wanted to speak several times, but He Jian Country stopped her each time.
