Chapter 307

Xu Niandi had been quite angry, but hearing him speak like this, her anger dissipated: "I knew you could do it, Brother Cheng. Don't worry, I'll make sure to take good care of Mom at home and won't be a burden to you."

"Alright, once we can move out, our parents will help us find jobs, and we can support your family too."

"I was upset when you mentioned that your relatives live in worse conditions than my current cheap brother's place."

He Cheng began to paint a rosy picture.

In the past two days, he had noticed that his wife was deeply concerned about her family.

If he didn't offer some hope, she might secretly provide them with more support than he could handle.

Xu Niandi hadn't expected He Cheng to still think about helping her family, which moved her even more.

Although her parents favored her younger brother over her, they were still her parents, and she couldn't just abandon them.

Moreover, if she ever faced mistreatment from her in-laws, she would need the support of her own family.

Xu Niandi hugged He Cheng tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Brother Cheng, you're so good to me. Actually... I don't really expect my family to live in luxury. As long as they have enough to eat and wear, and a decent place to live, that's enough for me."

"My heart is always with our little family first, after all, we have our child to think about too."

As she spoke, she let him touch her belly.

He Cheng loved how Xu Niandi looked so helpless and dependent on him, not to mention her beauty; how could he possibly feel anything but happiness?

Pure joy!

In the study, He Zhifei sighed even more deeply as he looked at his wife who looked unhappy. "Yingying, I don’t want to discuss today’s matter with you."

"If you don’t want to talk about it, I do! Old He, you agreed that I would handle the family’s affairs. Even if I said something harsh to my daughter-in-law, I had my reasons!

Now you’re overruling me in everything. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

How am I supposed to manage things in the future?"

Qi Yingying wanted to scratch her husband’s face raw.

"You’d better not manage it, then. Consider it a broken promise on my part. I see the eldest son and his wife as good kids. I’m afraid that if you continue to manage things like this, they might end up hating us.

You should also stay out of He Cheng and his wife’s business.

I’ll take care of He Ming as well.

Regarding He Wei’s marriage… I’ll ask some friends to see if there are any suitable matches. We’ll arrange a blind date.

He Zhifei was resolute; he had a premonition that if things continued like this, the family would fall apart.

"Are you trying to drive me out of this family?" Qi Yingying shouted at him and then burst into tears.

At what age is she now? In a few years, she would be retiring. Wasn’t he going to give her any respect at all?

"We haven’t divorced, so how am I preventing you from staying at home? I just hope you’ll stay out of the family’s affairs and let these kids grow on their own. If you agree, I… I’ll ask He Cheng if he can work at the same factory as his elder brother."

He Zhifei gritted his teeth, making a significant concession.

Upon hearing about the factory job, Qi Yingying, although it was a canning factory and not as prestigious as He Tian’s job, realized that the work there wasn’t tiring.

Now she doesn't ask for anything else, as long as He Cheng stops loafing around at home and has a job to earn a living!

"Alright, as long as you find a job for our son, I'll listen to you and won't meddle in anything, pretending I didn’t see anything," Qi Yingying agreed.

"That's settled then. I'll go see my old friend in a bit. We still have some connection, and the cannery is hiring. Our He Cheng might not be outstanding, but at least on the surface, he meets the requirements."

He Zhifei actually wanted his son to have a desk job at the cannery, so he wouldn't have to do any physical labor.

But thinking about his son's behavior, he immediately dismissed the idea.

One, his son wouldn't pass any exams! And two, He Cheng was too much of a troublemaker.

He lacked the ability to clean up after He Cheng.

"Old He, what about our daughter-in-law?" Qi Yingying's tone softened.

"He Cheng's wife is still pregnant, isn't she? Let's wait until she gives birth. If you make her work now, what if something happens to the child?" He Zhifei didn't want to help for now; he felt they should wait and see.

Qi Yingying thought about it and agreed that this was reasonable.

It was more important for He Cheng's wife to stay at home and focus on having the baby.

"Alright then," Qi Yingying agreed to He Zhifei's decision.

He Zhifei finally stopped frowning. "Yingying, when the eldest son and his wife come back, you're not allowed to mention making the eldest daughter-in-law work again. With two daughters-in-law, why should the eldest have to serve the second son?

We don't stand for that in our family."

"Alright, you've nagged enough. I'll listen to you, alright? Anyway, I'm just a decorative mother-in-law.

Other mothers-in-law have two daughters-in-law fighting to be filial, but I can't even scold my daughter-in-law a few words. I've had bad luck marrying you; my life is ruined." Qi Yingying said impatiently and left.

By the time Bai Xiuxiu's train arrived in the county, it was already late at night.

Besides those leaving the train station, the streets were deserted.

He Ming left the train station and closely followed Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe.

Feeling uneasy, he asked, "Big brother, big sister-in-law, why is the county so quiet at night? It's kind of creepy."

"What time do you think it is? Of course, it's quiet. Let's go home and rest first. When it's daytime, big brother and I will handle the grain relationship matter. And as for you..."

Bai Xiuxiu was a bit troubled about how to settle He Ming.

He Ming was already looking forward to having some fun.

Wang Qinghe glanced at him. "Today, you're following me. You're not going anywhere."

He didn't have time to keep an eye on He Ming, and since He Ming was there to help him and Xiuxiu, he shouldn't cause any more trouble.

"What? No way, why should I?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Qinghe grabbed him like a chicken and dragged him home, saying casually, "No need for a reason."

"Let go, help! Help!"

He Ming struggled to get Wang Qinghe to release him, but his strength was no match for Wang Qinghe.

He Ming could only turn his head to see his older brother holding hands with his sister-in-law while dragging him like a dead weight.

Is Wang Qinghe even human?

"Big brother, I was wrong. Please let me go. Can't you let me walk on my own?" He Ming was on the verge of tears. Usually, his second older brother would take all the good stuff and leave him the bad, but this was too much.
