Feng Jiashu's eyes were filled with helplessness; he couldn't understand why Tian Tian was so wary of him...
He withdrew his hand. "Tian Tian, Aunt He is talking to you."
Tian Tian looked at He Qiaoyun and said seriously, "I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore."
He Qiaoyun smiled and said gently, "It's okay, Tian Tian, go play."
Tian Tian got up and went upstairs.
Seeing that there wasn't much left on the table, Feng Jiashu said, "I'll have Xiao Ding make some more."
He Qiaoyun waved her hand, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm almost full."
Finally, she asked, "Has Tian Tian suffered some kind of trauma?"
Feng Jiashu sighed helplessly, "It was after she fell into the water. The psychologist said it might be due to stress symptoms and various chain reactions after the fall. It's also my fault; I'm usually too busy with work and didn't take her for psychological counseling in time, which led to her becoming like this—isolated and timid..."
He Qiaoyun fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Seeing her lost in thought, Feng Jiashu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
He Qiaoyun hesitated before saying, "Yesterday afternoon..."
The conversation was suddenly interrupted when Ding Ruolian came over with two glasses of milk. "Mr. Feng, I'm so sorry, I forgot about the milk."
As she spoke, she brought the milk to the two of them.
Feng Jiashu added, "Remember to take Tian Tian's cup upstairs to her."
Ding Ruolian smiled gently, "Mr. Feng, I would never forget that, Tian Tian is still growing."
After saying that, she twisted her waist and left.
Feng Jiashu put the milk aside and continued He Qiaoyun's words, asking, "What were you going to say just now?"
He Qiaoyun's eyes darted around, and she said with a faint smile, "No."
Speaking without solid evidence only makes you seem suspicious, and if you get falsely accused, it's not worth it.
Furthermore, Feng Jiashu's words had left her somewhat confused, wondering if Ding Ruolian was responsible for Tian Tian's current state.
Was it just her own decision to stand as punishment in the sun yesterday? Or was it not Ding Ruolian who made her do it?
She felt trapped in a fog, unable to find her way out.
"By the way, what are your plans for today?" Feng Jiashu asked.
He Qiaoyun said, "I may have to go back to the orchard for a few days. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do when I get back."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "I wish you all the best. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact me anytime."
He Qiaoyun said sincerely, "Thank you, really, you've helped me a lot, I'm very grateful."
"It was nothing, you don't need to be so polite."
After breakfast, Feng Jiashu went to work.
He Qiaoyun went upstairs to rest for a while, then tidied up the house, picked up her car keys, and planned to go back to get her van.
As I walked downstairs, I saw Ding Ruolian bending over wiping the table. Because of the bending motion, her floral mini-skirt was slightly revealing, with the hem reaching her upper thigh.
He Qiaoyun really couldn't understand how Feng Jiashu could tolerate a nanny dressed like that... She didn't dare to say anything, and had no right to ask such a question. She found it offensive, so she could only cover her eyes and pretend she didn't see it.
Ding Ruolian seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She put down the rag, turned around, and put away her fake smile. "Sister Qiaoyun, are you going out?"
He Qiaoyun said, "I need to go back to my hometown for a few days."
Ding Ruolian's eyes lit up with joy as she asked, "Where is Sister Qiaoyun from?"
He Qiaoyun spoke with poise and grace: "I'm from Hejia Village."
Ding Ruolian adopted a condescending attitude, as if she looked down on her: "Where is Hejia Village?"
He Qiaoyun noticed her arrogant expression and smiled faintly: "If you can read a map, you can find the location of Hejia Village on the map."
Ding Ruolian was put on the spot but didn't know how to retaliate, so she could only swallow her anger.
Seeing her like this, He Qiaoyun felt better and smiled, saying, "You can continue with your work. My car has arrived."
She stepped out of the villa and saw a ride-hailing car parked outside. She got in and left.
As soon as I arrived downstairs at the rented apartment, I received a call from my eldest son, Xu Feichi.
"Mom, I heard from Dad and Grandma that you found a boyfriend?" Xu Feichi asked abruptly.
As He Qiaoyun got into the van, she said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Mom, Dad is already getting a divorce from Aunt Wang. Isn't this the result you wanted? Why do you still need to find a boyfriend..."
He Qiaoyun started the car. "Are you questioning me?"
Xu Feichi's voice weakened on the other end of the phone, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I just... can't stand this broken family anymore! Please, stop making a scene, okay?"
He Qiaoyun laughed. "Even you think I'm making a scene? Is this all my fault? I'm the victim. Why should the victim forgive me? Am I some kind of despicable person?"
Xu Feichi stubbornly insisted: "Yes, both sides are responsible, but so much time has passed. Besides, isn't your goal to get Dad to admit his mistake and apologize to you? He's already divorcing Aunt Wang, so please forgive him this time."
He Qiaoyun said coldly, "I can't forgive him, and I won't remarry him. You've all grown up and have your own families now. You should learn to understand and respect my choices."
"Mom, you're being so selfish. I'm begging you, please remarry Dad. Wouldn't it be better if our family stayed the same as before?"
He Qiaoyun replied, "Alright, that's enough. If you keep talking about this, it'll just get annoying. If you call me again and bring up these old, trivial things, let's just delete each other and block each other."
After saying that, she hung up the phone with a flourish.
After that, her second son and daughter-in-law called, but she didn't answer either of them and focused on driving.
I went to the fertilizer shop to get the fertilizer I had ordered in advance, and then went to the market to buy some ingredients before returning to the orchard.
She's been busy in the city these past few days, and Xia Jie has been helping to keep an eye on the orchard. Feeling a bit guilty, she brought Xia Jie two boxes of pastries and bird's nest.
Sister Xia repeatedly declined the gifts, saying, "We're all from the same village, you don't need to be so polite."
He Qiaoyun insisted on giving it to her, saying, "Take it, otherwise I won't feel at ease. This bird's nest tastes pretty good. It comes in jars and doesn't need to be cooked. My daughter says that women should eat more of these things. Take it home and try it."
Sister Xia accepted it with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Finally, Sister Xia added, "Our Sunshine Rose berries are bearing fruit very well this year; the first batch of fruit should be ripe by the end of the month."
Seeing Xia Jie's worried face, He Qiaoyun asked, "Isn't this good?"
Sister Xia sighed, "You don't know yet, do you?"
"what?"
“Last time you helped the villagers negotiate the lychee gift boxes for the Dragon Boat Festival, He Ping was very unhappy when he found out. The day before yesterday, he told us that it was because we got too close to you…” Sister Xia looked at her helplessly: “So this year he won’t help the village negotiate supermarket orders for Sunshine Rose lychees, and he told us to sell them to whoever we want.”
He Qiaoyun frowned, and after a long while said, "Has he lost his mind? What does it have to do with me?"
Sister Xia spoke up for her, "Yes, those people are ungrateful and clueless, they all told He Ping..."
He Qiaoyun pressed, "What did you say?"
Sister Xia hesitated before saying, "They say you secretly signed a dual contract with those factories and companies to make kickbacks and ill-gotten gains, deceiving them... These people are really something, they'll make up any lie for their own benefit!"
