Chapter 355

As soon as he saw Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu approaching, He Ming's eyes lit up. "Big brother and big sister-in-law!"
Seeing his state, Bai Xiuxiu knew there was probably more trouble brewing in the house.
The He family was even more chaotic than the Old Wang’s family back in the village!
"What's wrong?" Wang Qinghe asked.
"There's chaos in the house. You think He Wei will figure it out soon?" He Ming sighed in frustration.
"Chaos?" Wang Qinghe repeated.
"Yes, indeed! This morning, He Wei almost fought with Second Brother and Second Sister-in-Law. I took her out and went to find He Huihui. We ran into Ji Feng and He Huihui there.
Despite that, He Wei was still fooled by them.
They even had a meal together.
I spent the whole afternoon outside with them and just got home.
Second Brother and Second Sister-in-Law sneaked and ate the milk candies that Mom bought for He Wei. Those candies are only for He Wei. Second Brother somehow found them, and Second Sister-in-Law ate them all.
When He Wei got back, she wanted to give Ji Feng the milk candies to take home for his nephew.
But when she found out, she flipped out.
They're arguing inside, and it's giving me a headache, so I bolted out of there.
Mom and Dad still haven't come back yet."
He Ming felt like he had aged a lot over the course of this day.
He wished he hadn’t quit and had worked harder.
He used to think staying at home was comfortable, but now it felt like torture!
He would rather be at work!
"Big brother, big sister-in-law, what should I do now? If I go into the house, whose side should I take?" He Ming asked, frustrated.
"What do you mean, whose side? Qinghe is here? Great, I was going to ask He Ming to find you tomorrow. The thing you asked me to handle is already settled."
Outside, He Zhifei and Qi Yingying returned.
Things had been calm at home for the past couple of days, so He Zhifei was in such a good mood that he even picked up his wife from work today.
He didn’t expect his eldest son to be back too, which made him even happier.
"Dad, you and Mom are finally back. If you two hadn't come back, I swear He Wei and Second Brother would have wrecked the place," He Ming shouted, frustrated.
"What?"
He Zhifei was stunned. "Didn’t we already resolve all the family drama?"
Why is there trouble again?
"Did your second brother's wife bully Huihui again?" Qi Yingying immediately blamed her daughter-in-law when she heard her daughter and son arguing.
Before her daughter-in-law married into the family, these kids never quarreled like this.
Worried about Huihui, she dropped her vegetable basket and rushed inside.
As soon as she entered, she almost fainted.
"What’s going on here?"
Qi Yingying shouted at them.
The others saw that He Cheng and Ji Feng were already fighting.
No one knew how it had started.
Huihui was holding her water cup, ready to smash it on her brother’s head.
Xu Niandi stood by the side, holding her stomach, frightened.
When the others came in, they all stopped.
"Mom... Look at He Cheng, Ji Feng isn’t even my husband yet, and he’s already bullying me." Huihui ran over crying.
She felt so wronged.
The others also came into the room.
Qi Yingying felt dizzy. Looking at the other corner, He Huihui was standing there just fine, as if this had nothing to do with her.
And He Tian, who had come back early today, was just watching!
"What’s going on with you all? Why are family members fighting and no one is stopping them? Do you really want to see something bad happen in this family?" Qi Yingying questioned He Tian.
He Tian looked very innocent: "I wanted to help too, but He Cheng and Ji Feng said they wanted to have a one-on-one fight. Whoever wins, the loser has to apologize to the other’s wife.
Huihui agreed to it too and was even moved by it.
I tried to persuade them."
Qi Yingying turned to look at Huihui.
What was she thinking!
Huihui was also very defiant: "Mom, He Cheng secretly took my candy and gave it to Second Sister-in-Law. You said that candy could only be eaten by me.
When I got home, look at all the candy wrappers on the floor!"
After saying that, Huihui started crying.
Seeing how wronged her daughter was, Qi Yingying looked at Xu Niandi coldly: "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing? Haven’t we given you all the good food in this family?
We’ve even given you the brown sugar from home, and your father-in-law and I have said, if there’s anything you want to eat, just tell us.
Why did you two sneak Weiwei’s candies? What kind of behavior is that?"
You are my daughter-in-law, and I do have to take care of you since you're pregnant, but you can't treat my daughter like this.
He Cheng, why did you take your sister's things?
Qi Yingying asked them, clearly upset.
He Cheng had his own reasons: "Mom, He Wei was yelling loudly in the morning and scared my wife, so I touched He Wei's things. Mom, if you can't handle us, just get us our own place so we can move out like elder brother and his wife."
"Fat chance."
He Zhifei had been standing by the door after entering.
Hearing his second son's words, he could no longer hold back.
"Your elder brother was just found by us, and he hasn't spent a dime of our money these years. How much money have you and He Ming spent? How much did you spend on your wedding? He Cheng, don't try to act special here.
Not a chance!
This isn't such a big deal.
Just for some sugar?
Is it the end of the world if you don't have sugar?
He Zhifei felt that these children were becoming more and more useless.
Before, they just didn't like working, and now they're even fighting over food and drinks!
"I'll buy some more for He Wei tomorrow." He Zhifei decided.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yingying sighed, "Where are we supposed to find ration tickets? Do you think that stuff is easy to come by?"
"I'll see what I can do. He Cheng, and He Cheng's wife, if you two touch someone else's things again, don't expect me to go easy on you.
I don't have a reason to keep supporting you."
After saying this, He Zhifei glared at them. "He Ming, He Cheng, clean this up. He Wei, send Ji Feng home. Since this happened in our house, talk to the Ji family properly.
Yingying, start cooking."
Qi Yingying didn't expect it to end like this. Why weren't He Tian and He Huihui scolded?
He Ming felt he was the most innocent, having done nothing but still having to clean up the mess.
Luckily, the cups at home were enamel mugs, not afraid of being dropped.
At most, just some paint would chip off.
After calming down, He Zhifei spoke kindly to Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu. "Qinghe, elder daughter-in-law, you two sit here. After work tomorrow, Qinghe, go to the address I gave you.
This is an old friend of mine, who will teach you from now on.
If you make something of yourself, he will help you with everything afterward.
Dad hopes you learn Traditional Chinese Medicine well."
"Thank you," Wang Qinghe thanked him softly.
He Zhifei felt a bit disappointed that Qinghe still hadn't called him "Dad."
On the other side, He Ming spoke up. "Dad, elder brother said that He Tian wanted to make it up to him, but he refused. He wants He Tian to buy some things for our house. How about we see what we need tonight?"
