Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 276 Meeting
Xu Deyong's mouth twitched slightly and he said, "Your idea is very bold, but I'm not as bold as you!"

Xu Huizhen blinked her eyes and said nonchalantly, "No, it's best. What do you want to say?"

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "Then don't be angry if I tell you so."

"Don't be angry. Why are you so secretive? This is not like you at all." Xu Huizhen looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Xu Deyong scratched his head and said, "That... is about your... cousin..."

When Xu Huizhen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face slowly faded.

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ping'er felt something, hugged Xu Deyong's legs, turned to look at her mother, and then looked up at her father.

Xu Deyong moved his legs gently towards Xu Huizhen.

Ping Er blinked her eyes, turned around, and rushed over to the lovely Xu Huizhen, saying childishly, "Well, well..."

Xu Huizhen supported Ping'er, pinched her little face and forced a smile, saying, "Why did you suddenly mention her?"

The condensed atmosphere began to flow.

Xu Deyong simply said, "I just ran into her when I went out. She was in trouble and wanted to ask me for help, but she didn't dare to come to see you."

"You deserve it!" Xu Huizhen gritted her teeth.

"Yes, she deserves it!" Xu Deyong echoed.

Then the two of them stared at each other in silence for a while.

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but ask, "You... promised to help her?"

Xu Deyong said, "I'm not a sucker, so I definitely didn't agree. She's desperate and will definitely come to you with her two daughters to beg her later."

Xu Huizhen stopped talking again.

Xu Deyong rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we lock the door and leave? She can't find anyone and will leave on her own."

Xu Huizhen suddenly said angrily: "What are we afraid of? Just stay at home. I want to see if she still has the nerve to beg me!"

Seeing this, Xu Deyong smiled in his heart. This woman is still kind and can't be cruel.

He did not repeat what he had said to Xu Huizhi before. Even if Xu Huizhen and Xu Huizhi felt sorry for each other and wanted to help, they would discuss it with him later.

We'll talk about it when the time comes, everything will work out naturally.

"Old married couple." Xu Huizhen seemed to sense that Xu Deyong was laughing at her in his heart. She turned Ping'er around and said, "Go find your father."

Ping'er blinked her eyes a little foolishly, then rushed towards Xu Deyong happily.

The little girl still stumbled a little when she walked faster, so Xu Deyong picked her up with his big hands, patted her little butt and said, "You'll cry if you fall down."

"Hehe..." Ping'er laughed heartily and grabbed Xu Deyong's ears and started playing with them.

Xu Huizhen looked at this scene and her originally depressed mood improved a lot. She touched her stomach again.

With a man and child like this, why should I feel depressed because of other people?
However, I still have to let out this anger!
Next, Xu Deyong carried Ping'er to the cafeteria in front, and Xu Huizhen was alone at home waiting for Xu Huizhi to come.

This period of time is a bit long for the two sisters!

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Huizhen hesitated for a moment, and when the knock on the door sounded again, she got up and walked out.

"squeak……."

The wooden door slowly opened.

Xu Huizhi finally showed up, holding He Lixia in one hand and leading He Chunfen in the other. Her face was slightly pale, and her hair was a little messy compared to when she met Xu Deyong before.

Looks even more pitiful!
The two sisters looked at each other. Xu Huizhen had no expression on her face, while Xu Huizhi lowered her head and stammered, "Sister..."

He Chunfen, who was being led by Xu Huizhi, also said pitifully: "Third Aunt..."

The word "Third Aunt" stopped Xu Huizhen's words and anger from coming out.

Given her temperament, she would never scold their mother in front of her children.

Besides, the two parties are relatives.

From another perspective, Xu Huizhi can be said to have grasped Xu Huizhen's temper thoroughly, which is called "a gentleman can be deceived by tricks."

At this moment, Xu Deyong came back carrying Ping'er. Faced with this situation, he pretended to be indifferent and stuffed some food into Xiao Lixia's mouth and gave her a small piece of steamed cake.

Xiao Lixia's eyes lit up, and she immediately started eating with her little mouth, and was then dragged over by Xu Deyong. With food in her mouth and in her hands, Xiao Lixia just looked at Xu Deyong and didn't make a fuss.

Ping'er looked at Xiao Lixia curiously, pointed with her little finger and said, "Ah..."

Xu Deyong smiled and said to Chunfen, "Come on, Chunfen, I'll take you to dinner."

Xiao Chunfen looked at him eagerly, then looked up at her mother.

Xu Huizhi gently pushed her and motioned for her to follow.

Then, Xu Deyong walked towards the cafeteria, holding one in each arm, with a little follower following behind him.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the yard.

Xu Huizhi hurriedly followed and gently closed the door.

The two sisters entered the yard one after the other. Without anyone else present, Xu Huizhi's knees went weak and she knelt down and said, "Sister...!"

……

The matter between Xu Huizhen and her sister will eventually have to be faced by both of them. Although Xu Deyong can force a decision and intervene, given Xu Huizhen's temperament, it will undoubtedly put her in a more uncomfortable and entangled situation.

Of course, there must be a bottom line when helping!

I will never let this stubborn He Yongqiang get involved in the tavern again.

Want to come back? No way!

You want to admit your mistake? No way!
If you want to take advantage of others without any intention, no way!

If kindness is not respected, the most direct way to resolve interpersonal relationships is to fall out.

"Hey, Deyong, who are these two little girls?"

"My niece!"

"Hey, I've never seen that before."

"Just came from the country."

……

When Xu Deyong took Xiao Chunfen and Xiao Lixia to eat in the cafeteria, acquaintances would always ask about them.

The two little ones were naturally a little shy. They crowded around Xu Deyong and drank their porridge with "tulu, tulu". Little Chunfen could eat by herself, but little Lixia still needed Xu Deyong to look after her from time to time, after all, she was younger than Ping'er.

Ping'er was playing carefreely aside, as she had already eaten her fill.

After Xiao Chunfen and Xiao Lixia finished eating, Xu Deyong asked with a smile: "Are you full? If not, come back for more."

"Ugh!" Xiao Chunfen couldn't help but burp, lowered her head shyly and whispered: "I'm full..."

Then he said timidly: "But...but, mother hasn't eaten yet..."

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Then bring some food to your mother."

"Yeah." Xiao Chunfen nodded and secretly looked at Xu Deyong with gratitude in her eyes.

Afterwards, Xu Deyong did not rush home with the three children. Instead, he walked around the neighborhood and returned home leisurely when he felt it was about time.

When they walked into the house, Xu Huizhen and Xu Huizhi wiped their faces when they heard the noise, obviously they were crying.

"Mom, eat." Xiao Chunfen walked quickly to Xu Huizhi and gave the food in her arms to her as if presenting a treasure.

Upon seeing this, Xu Huizhen stood up and walked out.

Xu Deyong put Xiao Lixia down, picked up Ping'er and followed him out.

Arriving under the grape trellis, Xu Huizhen glared at Xu Deyong and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Xu Deyong smiled and handed the lovely Ping'er over, saying, "Okay, blame it all on me, okay?"

“Hehe, well…”

Ping'er opened her little hands and laughed innocently.

Xu Huizhen had no choice but to take it, and said angrily and amusedly: "Who should blame you!"

"So are you going to forgive them?" Xu Deyong asked.

Xu Huizhen gritted her teeth and said, "No forgiveness!"
