Chapter 297

Wang Qinghe’s words left Qi Yingying speechless.

Why shouldn’t the boss’s wife do any work?

Upon hearing this, He Cheng quickly came to his wife’s defense: “Mom, you work during the day and have no time to take care of Niandi. Sister-in-law just arrived at our house, and she and Brother aren’t living here, right?”

Looking around, it seems that He Wei is the most idle in the family.

Since He Wei has nothing to do at home, she should do more housework. Otherwise, who would want her when she gets married?

What if she’s sent back to us?

He Cheng was extremely dissatisfied with his sister bullying Xu Niandi.

He Wei is going too far. Niandi is pregnant and has just married into the family. Can’t she take care of Niandi a little?

Why does it have to come to this?

“Are you crazy, He Cheng? Why should I do the work? You’re the one who married her, so why should I take care of her? Can’t you do it yourself without dying?” He Wei’s mind doesn’t work well when she’s with Ji Feng, but at home, she’s quick-witted and always ready to argue to avoid any loss.

Qi Yingying’s head ached from the bickering between her son and daughter.

Seeing the kitchen in disarray due to their argument and Old He’s face, which looked like a storm was about to break, she knew things were getting out of hand.

If they kept arguing, Old He might just kick them all out.

"Alright, we'll sort out these trivial matters later. Have you finished cooking in the kitchen yet? I see everyone from our compound has already left for work. It's time for us to eat, isn't it? If we don't eat soon, we'll be late for work."

Qi Yingying didn't want to judge who was right or wrong at the moment, so she simply asked about the meal.

Not mentioning it was fine, but bringing it up made He Wei even angrier.

"Don't even talk about it! I was just starting to cook when Xu Niandi started nitpicking. Because of all the nitpicking, I haven't finished cooking yet." He Wei felt wronged and regretted agreeing to cook.

Feeling wronged, she complained to her father, "Dad, this is all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on me cooking, none of this trouble would have happened."

"Wei Wei, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Yingying quickly pulled her daughter, thinking she had lost her mind.

How can she blame everyone like this?

He Zhifei had a chaotic morning.

Looking at his eldest son's family standing nearby, they all looked stunned, clearly not expecting the family to be in such a mess!

Arguing over such trivial matters.

They were losing face, both internally and externally!

He Zhifei looked at his wife who was still comforting their daughter. "Look at the fine daughter you've raised, and the fine daughter-in-law you've brought into our family. For breakfast, we'll eat at a state-run restaurant. We won't be eating at home anytime soon.

Besides, with the eldest son's family just returning, we can't be too shabby for their welcoming meal.

Qinghe, Xiao Bai, and Mother-in-law, put your things down. We'll eat out.

We'll settle other matters later."

So many people are going out to eat?

Qi Yingying felt overwhelmed. That's more than a dozen people! Going out to eat would require a lot of food coupons, meat tickets, and money.

"Old He, I think we should just eat something simple for now and have a proper welcome dinner later. I’ll find some ready-made food and warm it up for everyone. Then I’ll take them to the factory." Qi Yingying tried to persuade him to change his mind.

But He Zhifei was already annoyed by his daughter and second daughter-in-law. With his wife’s opposition, his anger intensified.

"No need. We're going to the state-run restaurant.

Don’t try to dodge responsibilities. Instead of dodging responsibilities, why don’t you focus on teaching He Wei properly?

Look at what kind of state this family is in.

She and her sister-in-law even argued in the kitchen."

He Zhifei's decision was final, and the others quickly followed him to the state-run restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't far from where they lived. Once the large family arrived, Qi Yingying took the initiative to suggest that she handle the ordering. "There are a lot of us now. I’ll go. You all rest. Don’t bother coming with me."

The key point was that if she handled the ordering, she could manage the expenses.

If someone else ordered, who knows how much they might spend.

"Okay, go ahead," He Zhifei didn’t fully understand his wife’s intentions, but he was quite pleased that she was willing to take on such a tiring task on her own.

The large family required two tables to seat everyone.

He Zhifei sat with Wang Qinghe and his family at one table, while the others were at the second table.

"Qinghe, from now on, we're family. You're not familiar with the provincial city, so make sure to come home often. Your mom and I can take you around, or we can have your two younger brothers and sister accompany you.

It’s best to familiarize yourself with the provincial city as soon as possible.

If you run into any trouble, don’t hesitate to tell me or your mom.

We owe you a lot, and your mother and I will make it up to you."

He Zhifei's tone was gentle.

But in his heart, he was planning when he could fully understand this child and have him change his surname.

In his heart, he believed it should be done immediately.

But when he mentioned this to his father, he was rejected.

His father said that if they were to change it, they would need to prove that Wang Qinghe is his son. This could potentially expose Youde’s situation.

They would need to observe him for a while longer.

If they still couldn’t understand him, they would simply say he was an adopted son.

He didn’t want to agree, but both his father and Youde begged him, leaving him unable to refuse.

In any case, they hadn’t discussed this with Qinghe yet.

So for now, they wouldn’t bring it up.

It was absurd that his own son had to go through so much just to change back to his original surname.

I feel so stifled.

Upon hearing He Zhifei’s words of concern, Wang Qinghe was not particularly moved. He quickly assessed the He family members.

This family was just as lively as the Wangs and had all the essentials.

Each had their own thoughts.

Seeing Wang Qinghe’s silence, He Zhifei became even more anxious. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Was the trip too exhausting? If so, I can have your mother take you to the factory tomorrow.

You and your wife should first get settled in your new home."

He Zhifei cared deeply about his eldest son.

His eldest son was outstanding and ambitious, and he hoped the boy would bring him glory.

Therefore, he paid special attention to him.

"I’m fine, thank you for your concern. I prefer to go to the factory today. Both my wife and I have been transferred here to work. Since we’ve been transferred, there must be vacancies. We shouldn’t delay the work.

It wouldn’t be right to disrupt others' work.

We’ll rest after work," Wang Qinghe said.

Wang Qinghe’s dedication to work made He Zhifei even more proud of his eldest son.
