The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

After Yun Shu went inside, Tie Tou drove away.

At this time, Mingkun lay in his room upstairs for a while, waiting to relieve his father in the evening. He stayed at the hospital that night to take care of his mother, with several people taking turns caring for her.

When Minmin entered the room, she saw that Jiajia was sleeping well. It was late September, and the weather was no longer so hot. In some places, it was so cold at night that people started to wear long-sleeved clothes.

Minmin lay down for a while. Since she had taken a nap in the morning, she wasn't sleepy. Seeing that she couldn't fall back asleep, she simply sat up. She took out her phone, opened the calculator app, and started doing calculations using the notebook she had brought back earlier.

She used to live on the first floor of her house, in the front room facing the yard, which saved her from climbing stairs.

I don't know how long I was calculating, but I heard several barks of the big cat coming from the yard. I heard some noise outside, so I looked out the window and saw that it was Manyun. I don't know when she went out. I guess she went to buy something. She was carrying two small bags in her hands.

She had been staying for several days, but Da Cai still seemed unfamiliar with her, and would shout at her every time he saw her.

Minmin looked away. From here, one could see the courtyard from the outside, but from inside the courtyard, one couldn't see anyone here. Minmin was about to look away again and continue calculating her accounts.

Just then, Manyun's voice drifted in, "You beast, if you bark again, I'll kill you one day!" She then brandished a stick as if to hit Dacai, an old dog who had lost the ferocity and intimidation of his youth. Startled by Manyun's threat, Dacai slumped into a corner with his head down.

The fierce voice and the waving of the wooden stick made it easy to imagine how ferocious her expression was. Minmin looked up and witnessed this scene. This... was definitely not the gentle and quiet Manyun she had seen before, who never dared to speak too loudly.

What's going on? Could she have misread it?

Minmin thought of Manyun's older sister, her cousin-in-law Manchun. When Manchun first married into the old man's family, she was notoriously shrewish and notorious in the village. But with the old man keeping her in check, she didn't dare to be too arrogant anymore. In recent years, as she got older, she gradually mellowed down, and with the addition of two sons, the old man turned a blind eye to what she had done over the years, so no one disliked her much. However, the old man sometimes regretted being too soft-hearted and being persuaded by his sons to marry such a daughter-in-law.

As her own sister, Manyun's mother was no pushover either. Manyun couldn't possibly be as docile as they saw her. If Pingli was really just an act, then this woman was very scheming and terrifying! Or perhaps she misheard or misread something, and Manyun just had a problem with Dacai.

Da Cai is old, and it only barks fiercely at strangers and bad people. So, does it dislike Manyun? Even a dog knows how to like and dislike people. Da Cai is no ordinary dog; it grew up in the military and is still very smart despite its age.

A moment later, hearing her go upstairs, Manyun lost all interest in continuing the accounts. She began to worry about the family. They had been implicated before, and now Mingkun's marriage was in turmoil. She couldn't imagine what would happen to the family if things got any worse.

Just as she was debating whether to tell Xiao Mingkun, Jiajia woke up from her nap. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and called out, "Mommy!"

"Mommy's here, do you need to pee?"

Jiajia had just woken up, nodding sleepily. Minmin led her to the bathroom to pee. After they came back, Jiajia was fully awake, but she was lazy and clung to Minmin, not wanting to get out of bed.

Minmin noticed that her child seemed to have lost some weight in the past few days. She felt guilty for neglecting the child, as she had been too focused on work and hadn't had enough time to spend with her. However, since Akun had taken care of Jiajia for a few days last time, Jiajia's temper had calmed down considerably, and she had become closer to her. She was more considerate of her mother's hard work and stopped making a fuss.

Jiajia later said that Yunshu taught her to do this, saying that her mother worked hard to earn money to support her, and that she was old enough to be sensible and filial to her mother. So when her mother said that the old man had told Yunshu's fortune was bad and forcibly separated Akun and Yunshu, she didn't listen to her mother. Akun asked her to help persuade her mother to break off her engagement with Manyun, and she was happy to help.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? You've been talking the whole time." It wasn't until Jiajia spoke that Minmin was pulled out of her reverie.

"Mom wasn't thinking about anything. By the way, Jiajia, do you prefer Manyun or Yunshu to be your aunt?"

"Of course it's Aunt Yunshu. I hate that Manyun the moment I saw her. Every time she sees Uncle, she looks like she's about to cry. Nobody bullies her, but she's a different person when she's not with Uncle. I accidentally knocked her things to the ground before, and she glared at me. Humph! A petty woman can't be with Uncle. The key is that she doesn't seem to like me, so I don't like her either. That's why I don't want her to be my aunt. She's just like those vixens who used to be around Uncle, shameless and clinging to him. Don't think I'm a child and that I don't understand what you're saying." Jiajia rattled off a string of words, then pouted and frowned.

After hearing Jiajia's words, Minmin realized she hadn't misheard or misread anything, nor was it a misperception. This Man Yun was definitely not the weak and vulnerable person she appeared to be; even a little girl like Jiajia could see that, which made the adults feel somewhat ashamed. However, although they were speculating, they still didn't know what the woman was like, so they decided to wait and see. It was truly remarkable that their daughter, only six years old, was so precocious and could discern those who disliked her. So, Minmin comforted her, "Jiajia, this is an adult matter; let the adults handle it. And in the future… try not to provoke Aunt Man Yun, okay?"

"Mom, is Aunt Manyun a witch in disguise, someone who came to ruin Uncle and Aunt Yunshu's relationship? That's how it's always portrayed on TV." Jiajia pouted, feeling a little scared. What if that woman had magic?

Minmin was both amused and exasperated. What kind of things are kids watching these days? It seems she should tell the nanny to limit the amount of TV her daughter watches. She touched her daughter's face and said, "Silly child, you watch too much TV. There are no witches in this world. Alright, get up and get ready. We're going to the hospital to see Grandma."

Minmin got up and combed Jiajia's hair, which had been messed up during her afternoon nap, and tied it up again. Only then did she want to go upstairs to call Akun down, as they needed to go to the hospital to bring her father back.

She told Jiajia to wait for her in the room while she went upstairs. But as soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she heard Manyun's low sobbing coming from Mingkun's room. Minmin frowned. What was that woman doing in Mingkun's room? Could something have happened to them? Minmin was so frightened that she quickly went upstairs and forgot to knock before pushing the door open and going in.
