Zhao Hu was very unconvinced, "An Baoer, you can't be so heartless! Your uncle accompanies you in doing this and that, so how can he not be the best?"

"Uncle is the best too!" An An, the master of keeping things balanced, said, "Uncle and Uncle Zhou are both the best! Mom is also the best, and Grandma is also the best! You are all the best!"

Zhou Yu turned around and warned Zhao Hu, "Huzi, be careful what you do. Don't let anyone find out. Otherwise... let Xu Xia accompany you?"

"No, no!" An An said quickly, "We won't go there during the day. It's not the right time to do bad things in broad daylight! My uncle and I have agreed that we will go there at night and secretly sprinkle croton powder into their water tanks..."

So everything is planned?

Zhao Hu chuckled and said, "We were just about to go look for my sister's medicine grinder."

Zhou Yu put An An down and took her croton. He asked Zhou Qi for a piece of paper, wrapped the croton, rubbed it back and forth with his hands, and handed it to Zhao Hu. "It's done."

Zhao Hu carefully opened the paper package and looked at the croton seeds that had turned into powder inside. His mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it.

An An was short and couldn't see, so she climbed onto his arm and jumped, "Let me see! Let me see!"

Zhao Hu bent down and showed her the paper package.

An An immediately looked at Zhou Yu with starry eyes and kept praising him: "Uncle Zhou, you are so amazing!"

"What are you doing?"

The gentle female voice that suddenly came from behind made the uncle and nephew tremble at the same time, and the croton powder almost fell to the ground.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu took responsibility for everything. He took the croton powder and rewrapped it.

An An turned around and smiled sweetly, "My most beautiful mother! We didn't do anything!"

Zhao Hu also imitated An An and said, "My smartest sister, we didn't do anything!"

An An immediately pushed his uncle and said, "Why are you imitating me? You're such a copycat!"

"Hey!" Zhao Hu rolled up his sleeves. "You little brat! I'm just imitating you, what's the big deal?"

Qin Ying frowned, "Don't interrupt me, both of you! Don't think I didn't hear anything!"

The uncle and nephew who tried to divert her attention immediately wilted.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, actually..."

Zhou Qi quickly reached out and pulled her sister, and the two of them quietly returned to the backyard.

Zhao Hu bent down, picked up An An, and ran away. Someone helped him to resist his anger. If he didn't run away now, when would he run away?

Qin Ying disapproved and said, "If you indulge them like this, they will get into trouble sooner or later!"

"No!" Zhou Yu said hurriedly, "They are not such inconsiderate children."

Qin Ying said helplessly: "Bad habits are not formed in a day. When you find that they have signs of not following the rules, you should correct them in time.

"Yes, I admit that Guo Wen and the others are not good people, but if we allow them to use such despicable means to deal with them, and they get a taste of success, what if they habitually resort to such means when they suffer losses from others in the future?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, but still insisted, "They won't. You will correct them, and I will supervise them."

Qin Ying felt tired.

"Aying," Zhou Yu whispered, "They are sincerely protecting your brother and daughter. If you don't give them a way to vent their anger, they will never be able to calm down.

"I've checked, and the amount of croton seeds they have is not large enough to cause any irreparable consequences.

"It just so happens that I also need to keep Guo Wen and his men here for a while, so I indulge them."

Qin Ying lowered her eyes for a long while before giving a bitter smile. "Forget it, let them be!"

Zhou Yu took a step closer to her and lowered his voice, "Aying, are you also feeling aggrieved?"

"How can it be healed?" Qin Ying shook her head. "Even though many years have passed and the scars have healed, the damage I suffered doesn't mean it's gone away.

"It's just that this is my own business, and I want to solve it myself."

Zhou Yu disagreed a little, "Your solution is to have nothing to do with them from now on?" If the evildoers do bad things and don't suffer any punishment, how can that be considered a solution?

"Of course not." Qin Ying was very sure.

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that the woman he liked was so clear about what she loved and hated, and would not swallow her anger when she was wronged.

Qin Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. "But if I hadn't let them suffer like this, I wouldn't have done it. If I hadn't experienced life and death, and hadn't been saved by my mother and Hu Zi, I'm afraid I would have become a wronged soul long ago.

"If Guo Wen hadn't been conscripted, I'm afraid he would have been the first to push me out to help them ward off the disaster when the famine struck.

"I never owe them anything, instead they owe me!"

Zhou Yu muttered, "You're so smart, how could you have been fooled by them?"

Although the voice was not loud, Qin Ying heard it clearly because they were quite close. She smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't forget that when I fled with my mother, I was only ten years old.

"The hardships along the way have frightened me to death, so even the smallest kindness I receive is invaluable.

"My mother, who I depended on for everything, passed away. I have no family left in this world. They proposed marriage to me when I was at my most vulnerable, and promised to treat me well in the future. How can I tell the difference between true and false?

“People say I’m smart, but I’m not really smart at all, I’m just willing to work hard.

“Only after experiencing hardships do we understand the wickedness of human nature, and only after suffering do we learn how to avoid similar risks.”

Zhou Yu, filled with guilt, took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Aying. I... didn't think much about it."

"It's nothing," Qin Ying pulled her hand back. "You've never experienced anything like this, so naturally you won't feel the same way."

Zhou Yu was a little flustered and reached for her hand again. "Aying, please...don't be estranged from me because of this. I promise that I will think twice before I say or do anything in the future."

He was afraid that Qin Ying would feel that there was a gap between them.

"Also," Zhou Yu emphasized, "I told you to call me Wen Ruo."

Qin Ying pursed her lips and tried to pull her hand back but couldn't.

Zhou Yu said earnestly, "Aying, it takes time for two people to get along. In the past, you refused to give me the opportunity to get to know you better. I was afraid of offending you and didn't dare to delve into it too much.

"But from now on, I will be more attentive and I believe our relationship will become more and more harmonious."

He took a step forward and said, "Aying, you have to give me a chance to make mistakes. I will change. We are still young and have a long way to go.

"I hope that even if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you will tell me in time. If you don't tell me, I won't know.

"And if you keep your unhappiness bottled up in your heart, you will get sick.

"Of course, I will also reflect on myself from time to time to prevent myself from forgetting my original intention."

Qin Ying looked up at him. Zhou Yu's face was full of sincerity at this moment, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

No matter what happens in the future, at least he is sincere now.
