    Chapter 415

    "What's wrong with He Cheng now?" He Zhifei felt puzzled after hearing from his wife that He Cheng was unhappy.

    In this family, the last person who should be unhappy is He Cheng.

    The family paid for his wedding and even got his wife’s younger brother a job. They also arranged one for him. Although there have been some issues with his job recently, it’s certain that he can't go back to work yet.

    But it's set in stone.

    Moreover, when his wife's child is born, the family will have to find a job for her too.

    How much can this family really do?

    They've poured all their resources into the second son and his wife.

    What more does he want now?

    How can he still be unhappy?

    Noticing her husband's attitude, Qi Yingying knew better than to bring it up.

    So she found an excuse: "With all the chaos that happened in the family before, how could he be happy? Plus, he made a mistake, and as you said, Wei Wei also gave him a beating.

    He'll be upset for a few days."

    "That's true, but it's his own fault, so you should leave him alone. As for Wei Wei, just leave her alone. She's already taken the exam, and a job position is secured.

    Let her do what she wants. Maybe she'll find someone nice someday and get married.

    If not, she can stay at home forever. The family can afford to support her.

    When we're gone, she’ll have her own job and money. How can she not live a good life?"

    He Zhifei was quite open-minded. If she were to find someone like Ji Feng, it would be better not to find anyone at all.

    Qi Yingying couldn't talk to her husband at all, so she simply stopped speaking.

    "Alright, you're the enlightened one. I'm going to sleep. If you're not tired, wait for Dad later to let him in and heat up the food."

    Qi Yingying nudged him and went to clean up.

    At the same time, He Quan was having dinner at his youngest son's house.

    At the dinner table, both He Huihui and Ji Feng were present. Both were dressed in new clothes. He Huihui had two braids and a sweet smile.

    She sat next to Ji Feng. Besides the two of them, there were also Ji Feng's two older cousins and one older cousin from his father's side. No one else came.

    They were here to pick up He Huihui to go home.

    "Ji Feng, we should head back. We've got food waiting at home, and we don’t want to upset Grandma." Ji Feng's cousin reminded him.

    His marriage had really shocked the entire family.

    The most important thing was that this wedding cost significantly more money than others.

    The family had a lot of complaints, but Grandma suppressed them from causing trouble.

    However, they really couldn't force themselves to put on a happy face.

    Hearing it was about time, Ji Feng quickly stood up. "Uncle, Auntie, I’ll take Huihui and head out now. We'll come back to see you in three days. Huihui, let's go now."

    As he spoke, he took her hand.

    Huihui’s expression turned grim. What did Ji Feng mean by this?

    He couldn’t even be bothered to call them Mom and Dad?

    Moreover, why did only two younger members from his family come?

    For a marriage, not a single elder from their side showed up?

    Was this their way of looking down on her?

    "Huihui, my grandmother has prepared food at home, and the whole family is waiting. You know, we haven't divided the family yet... You need to think about how the whole family feels."

    Seeing that Huihui seemed unhappy, Ji Feng advised her.

    Huihui responded coldly. "Yes, I must consider your family's feelings. How could I have any emotions of my own? Let’s go. After all, I’m already yours and have to marry you."

    Knowing that she was upset, Ji Feng didn’t say anything.

    He had no confidence in what awaited them at Ji Feng's family home.

    "He Tian, quickly see your sister off. Carry her out," He Youde said, seeing that the other side was determined to leave and not trying to stop them.

    It would be better for his daughter to marry into the Ji family sooner, get used to the environment there, and bring benefits to their family earlier.

    Besides, once she's married, keeping her here any longer might anger her in-laws. Why cause trouble?

    He Tian frowned slightly but remained silent. He didn’t want to cause any trouble.

    He was in a hurry to rest at his uncle's house since he had work the next day.

    If things got messy again tonight, how could he go to work tomorrow?

    "Okay, I’ll see you off." Ji Feng carried Huihui out of the room. Outside the door, there were two bicycles. One of the bikes was a gift from Ji Feng’s family.

    The other one was for picking up Huihui.

    "Only one bicycle? How are the others getting back?" He Tian was confused.

    "It’s not too far. We’ll walk back. The elders are waiting for them. We’re not a priority," Ji Feng's cousin explained awkwardly.

    He had no intention of mentioning the family's deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Huihui.

    If he did, it wouldn’t benefit either family.

    It was better to keep it to themselves.

    He Tian placed Huihui on the bicycle seat. "Huihui, after you marry, remember to come back and visit Mom and Dad often. If anyone bullies you, tell your brother."

    At this moment, He Tian acted like a good brother.

    Huihui felt a little more at ease and left with Ji Feng.

    "They've all left?"

    After He Tian returned to the house, He Youde asked him.

    He Tian nodded at his father’s words, "They've all left, but their family really made us look bad. Dad, do you think we’ll still get any benefits from Ji Feng's family in the future?"

    "Forget them; we’re not having any dealings with them. We’ll only keep in touch with your sister. Besides, who knows who might need whose help later on.

    Son, your grandpa and I have completely settled things with Old Wang's family today. Tomorrow morning, we're going to pick them up.

    Once they're settled, they'll be able to help us."

    Thinking about this made He Youde feel happy.

    Coming up with this plan, he really was a genius!

    He Tian still felt uneasy; whenever Dad was smug, something bad usually happened.

    "Dad, are you sure they'll be able to help us? We're arranging for them to work as temporary workers in the factory. Will they be more trustworthy than the full-time workers? Will others really trust the random things they say?

    If not, what’s the use of having them here?"

    He Tian felt that this whole thing was wrong from the start!

    He was increasingly feeling that this should never have happened. He couldn’t figure out why he and Dad ever thought bringing Old Wang’s family to the provincial city was a good idea.

    He Youde hadn’t thought it through either, but he didn’t know where his confidence came from, "This will definitely work. Old Wang’s family managed to make Wang Qinghe’s life miserable before, so they must know what they’re doing.

    And if it doesn’t work out, we can always send them back, right?"

    As He Youde said this, he also felt a little uncertain in his heart.

    Why had he thought Old Wang’s family should come to the provincial city?

    He couldn’t explain it, but since they were already here, it was too late to say it was a mistake.

    That would make him lose face, wouldn’t it?

    "Forget it; they’re already here. Whether it works or not, we don’t have any other options. Xiao Tian, we should head back too." He Quan understood the situation better than both of them; at worst, they would just send them back.
