Zhong Congyun had adjusted his mood when he returned home. Ma Rongjuan became unhappy when she saw her son returning empty-handed.

"stop!"

Ma Rongjuan sat in the main seat. When Zhong Congyun heard his mother's words, he subconsciously felt a little annoyed.

"My dear, your wife is calling you."

The maid who was lifting the door curtain saw that the young master was about to leave and hurriedly called out to him to stop.

Otherwise, my wife would get angry and beat them to vent her anger.

Zhong Congyun sighed and went into the house.

"Mother, how are you? I greet you."

After Zhong Congyun entered, he stood up straight, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Have you discussed the cancellation of the engagement with Madam Xu?"

Ma Rongjuan skillfully picked up a piece of tea cake and placed it on a small stove to bake. The fragrance of tea gradually spread.

Zhong Congyun didn't know how to start. Today he went to Xu's house and had an unpleasant argument with Yi Yi.

If her mother knew about this, she would definitely vent her anger on Yi Yi.

Thinking of this, Zhong Congyun concealed the matter.

"There's no need to talk about mother breaking off the engagement anymore. Yi Yi and I are in love, and she's in trouble right now. If I break off the engagement, it would be like kicking someone when they're down."

Zhong Congyun had never thought about this.

Ma Rongjuan sneered, and seeing that the tea cake was roasted to a golden brown, she gently broke it into pieces with a small hammer.

A dong dong dong sound was heard, and Zhong Congyun felt an invisible pressure for some reason.

The next second, he went up like a lackey to help Ma Rongjuan grind the tea powder.

When the tea soup rolls and the rich tea aroma wafts up.

Ma Rongjuan then spoke.

"It's okay if she doesn't want to cancel the engagement. She needs to deal with those burdens at home. Our family is marrying a daughter-in-law, not doing charity. You and your father's salary is not used to support outsiders."

Zhong Xiang cares about his reputation, so canceling the engagement is definitely not an option.

If his colleagues knew that he took advantage of someone's misfortune and broke off an engagement when his parents were no longer around, he would be known as an unkind and unjust person.

It would hinder his official career, and another thing was that the commander had to take care of the Xu family's children from time to time.

If Zhong Congyun were to break off the engagement, it would inevitably make the commander Zhechou dislike him.

Therefore, the cancellation of the engagement was just a way to scare Zhong Congyun.

Anyway, she is just a little girl and can't do anything special.

Although she didn't like it, she could endure it for her husband.

When someone marries in, isn't it her, the mother-in-law, who has the final say?

At this time, Zhong Congyun heard his mother's agreement, so he diligently ladled the tea into the teacup and served it to her.

As long as it's not a break-off of the engagement, everything is fine. After all, there are elders from the Xu family in the fishing village.

Although I don’t have a good relationship with my grandparents, they are still family after all.

After they all marry in one by one, she can entrust her younger siblings to the care of the elders.

As my brother-in-law, just give me some money from time to time.

I take Yi Yi back home every month to let her see her younger siblings.

After the matter was settled, the mother and son were in the mood to talk.

The maid beside her gently waved a silk fan, and the breeze brought coolness.

The mother and son enjoyed the fragrant tea together, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

The next morning, Zhong Congyun went to the fishing village again.

Xu Yiyi was still taking a nap in bed at this time. After cleaning the room yesterday, she originally wanted to let the children sleep separately.

Boys and girls aged seven years old sit at different tables. When Zhan Jilan was around, it didn't matter. The original owner had to take care of the children, so in order to make it easier to take care of them, several children slept in the same bed at night.

Xu Yiyi was not used to it, so she was given a separate room.

Er'er and Sanchuan were happy and happily took their things and moved into the new room.

Sihai, the little crybaby, refused to sleep with Sanchuan.

Xu Yiyi had no choice but to take the two children with her.

I had to get up all night to feed her and change Wuyuan's diaper. As soon as Sihai fell asleep, she clung to her tightly, and I didn't sleep well the whole night.

It's daybreak now, and I'm not feeling very well.

"Sister, why don't you get up?"

Sihai, the little rascal, saw his elder sister still lying on the bed, and stretched out his short and stubby hands to cover her eyes.

Xu Yiyi successfully helped him get rid of his sleepiness.

Seeing his elder sister open her eyes, Sihai happily hugged her and didn't want to move.

"Sister Wuyuan's goat milk is ready. Come and ask for it. I'll go make breakfast."

Sanchuan was making a fire on the stove. The first thing Er'er did when he got up was to milk the sheep and cook food for his younger brother.

She heard the noises of her elder sister getting up at night, and she wanted to help her elder sister share the burden, otherwise her elder sister would be exhausted.

With this thought in mind, I got up early.

Sanchuan has been yawning because he got up too early.

“Why cook so little?”

Only a small bowl of goat milk was cooked from half a bucket, which was just enough for Wu Yuan.

"Sister, Sanchuan and I don't want to drink it anymore. It's too disgusting. It's like burying your face in a sheep's butt and licking it. It smells like sheep."

I ate seafood noodles last night and then drank a mouthful of goat milk. I almost vomited because of nausea.

So she and Sanchuan agreed that growing taller was just a matter of fate, as she really couldn't drink goat milk.

Er Er summarized it so succinctly.

When Xu Yiyi drank fresh goat milk for the first time, I thought she was chewing on a sheep's butt in the sheep pen.

"I'll cook the goat milk the other way around and then you can drink it."

Xu Yiyi thought that she had to go buy some tea.

Boiling it into milk tea is not only delicious but also filling.

Er'er didn't take it seriously. After all, she had already tasted goat milk in the worst way possible and would never believe that goat milk could taste good again.

Sihai, the picky eater, originally wanted to rely on his elder sister.

But when he saw Wu Yuan eating with relish, he covered his nose and ran away.

When the Xu siblings were sitting together having breakfast, Zhong Congyun appeared.

He greeted Xu Yiyi happily, as if he had forgotten what happened yesterday.

"What are you here for?"

Xu Yiyi had made up her mind to cancel the engagement. After Zhong Congyun left yesterday, she went to find the matchmaker to write the document to cancel the engagement.

I had originally thought of gathering all the engagement gifts and then going to visit.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Congyun arrived first.

"Can you come out and talk, Yiyi?"

The teenager felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

After all, he was embarrassed to say it in front of the children.

Xu Yiyi thought for a moment and carefully placed Wu Yuan in the vegetable basket.

When Zhong Congyun saw her actions, his mother's words yesterday flashed through his mind: he must abandon these children one by one.

Otherwise, even if they get married, they will always think about supporting these children.

By then, it is inevitable that their own children will not pay attention.

In a trance, Xu Yiyi and Zhong Congyun came to the riverside.

"Go ahead! I'm in a hurry."

Hurry to buy back the engagement gift that Zhan Jilan used.

"I discussed it with mother yesterday. Our marriage hasn't changed, but you have to make a sacrifice. Your brothers and sisters must not be brought with you. They need to be settled before the wedding..."

With a splash, Zhong Congyun was kicked into the river by Xu Yiyi.
