Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Luo Qiao led his men to storm the Gu family's residence, and not only was he imprisoned, but he was also arrested again after only two days of release...

Qiu Yuefang went straight to her room after returning home and didn't eat dinner that night.

When she refused to eat, her dutiful sons naturally asked, "What's wrong with Mom?"

Her son is filial, but her daughters-in-law have long harbored resentment towards her.

Especially now that Wang Xiaohui is working for the Gu family and no longer has to toil in the fields like everyone else, her other three daughters-in-law have even more objections.

Her eldest son, Lin Jingyao, had just finished asking the question, and before Lin Guangqian, the father, could even answer, her eldest daughter-in-law turned on her and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong? You're the only one who's good at being filial, and no one else is as filial as you!"

Since Wang Xiaohui separated from the family, the other three daughters-in-law of the Lin family have not been as obedient to Qiu Yuefang as before.

Especially towards her man.

However, seeing Wang Xiaohui carrying her child and working hard in the fields to earn work points, they didn't dare to say anything loud.

If they were to live the kind of life Wang Xiaohui led, they would find it too unbearable.

But once Wang Xiaohui was relieved of her work at the Gu family home and no longer had to work in the fields every day, their thoughts changed.

Like Wang Xiaohui, raising a child alone, earning money, buying whatever she wants, eating whatever she wants, not having to cook for her in-laws, not having to do laundry for her husband, not having to take care of him—what a life…

They were incredibly envious.

There was even a hint of jealousy mixed in with this envy.

Of course, the majority of the resentment was directed at Qiu Yuefang.

After all, they've suffered so much humiliation over the years.

Another issue is that Qiu Yuefang offended Wen Tang and the Gu family.

If the Gu family and Wen Tang hold this grudge and prevent them from doing any work...

Therefore, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family spoke harshly and aggressively.

This was the first time Lin Jingyao had been so openly confronted by his wife in front of others. He instantly felt humiliated and slammed his chopsticks down. "Huang Hongmei, are you trying to rebel too?"

"Do you also want to be separated from others and live alone?"

Wang Xiaohui is raising her child alone. Although she doesn't feel it's hard, she even feels that she's living a much more comfortable life than before.

But others don't see it that way.

Especially in the eyes of people like Lin Jingyao.

In their eyes, Wang Xiaohui was just being difficult, and once she had enough, she would eventually behave herself and come back to Lin Jinghui crying and living together.

That's why Lin Jingyao dared to threaten his wife, saying he would separate her from him as well.

He was certain that Huang Hongxiang wouldn't dare. Putting aside everything else, the scrutinizing glances from those around them were enough to deter Huang Hongxiang.

As expected, Huang Hongxiang's face turned a deep purplish-red, but she had lost her previous imposing manner.

Lin Jingyao scoffed, looking down on his wife's flushed face.

Lin Jinghui also sat at the table eating.

Wang Xiaohui was assigned to another department, but he wasn't.

He still eats with his family these days, except that he sleeps alone at night and washes his own clothes. His life is no different from before.

But whether there is a difference or not, only he knows best.

Whether it's the eldest brother, the second brother, or the third brother, no matter if they argue with their wives or scold their children, they are still a family, with wives, children, and a warm bed.

When something happy happens, the whole family will huddle together and chat happily.

If there's something delicious, we'll secretly share it together.

But what about him?

His wife and daughter live in the same courtyard, but they act like strangers.

Even though children are young, they can still read people's expressions.

Since their separation, Qiu Yuefang and the others have made no attempt to hide their malice towards Wang Xiaohui.

Not only do I usually give her a cold look, but I also often deliberately smash or break things in front of her.

Although Qiuqiu is only one year old, she is not stupid. She knows that people do not like her and her mother, so even though she can walk while holding onto things now, she still obediently wanders around in the house and does not go outside.

Occasionally, when he sneaks outside, he will look up and suddenly see people, then quickly grab the wall and run back inside.

The little child's face still showed fear.

It doesn't matter if this person is her biological father.

Two days ago, when Lin Jinghui returned from the fields at noon, he saw his child squatting on the ground, leaning against the wall, happily picking at the wheat straw inside the wall, her face full of innocent and bright smiles.

Children's world is simple.

Being with my mom, being well-fed and warmly dressed, and occasionally getting a small toy can make me happy for half a day.

Even if the toy is just a lump of mud, it doesn't stop the child from being happy.

Since Wang Xiaohui stopped carrying the child in the fields, the child's face has clearly gained weight in just a few days.

Her smile was even more endearing, so Lin Jinghui couldn't help but go up to her.

With a shadow hanging over her head, Qiuqiu looked up and immediately saw Lin Jinghui.

Even though Lin Jinghui had a smile on his face, Qiuqiu visibly stopped smiling, and her expression turned into fear.

She tried to run into the house while holding onto the wall, but she was too small, and she fell to the ground after taking one wrong step.

When Lin Jinghui hurriedly helped Qiuqiu up, her head had already been scraped with a patch of dirt on the wall.

Lin Jinghui knew she had bumped her head and instinctively comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Daddy will blow on it for you!"

He gently stroked it with his hand and blew on it, and the mud and ash on Qiuqiu's head were clean.

Qiuqiu didn't cry, but she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

It wasn't until Wang Xiaohui heard the noise that she came out of the house.

After glancing at Qiuqiu and then at Lin Jinghui, Wang Xiaohui immediately snatched her daughter back into her arms.

The moment Qiuqiu was in her arms, she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face as if they were free. She clung to her, resting her head on her shoulder, sobbing in fear.

Wang Xiaohui gently coaxed the child, and the child stopped crying.

But the child subconsciously avoided looking at him, and even Lin Jinghui, a big man with thick skin, noticed this.

He wanted to say something, but it felt like his throat was stuffed with a wad of water-soaked cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.

Then Wang Xiaohui carried the child into the house, saying, "Mom made stewed eggs for Qiuqiu, shall we eat eggs?"

Wang Xiaohui stewed eggs for Qiuqiu. Lin Jinghui stood at the door and glanced into the house. Her lunch consisted of some salted radish and two mixed flour steamed buns.

She was really bad to herself, but she raised her daughter very well.

And this daughter is also Lin Jinghui's daughter.

Did the elder brother show the slightest respect for Wang Xiaohui in his words?

Or rather, do you have even the slightest bit of respect for him?

That makes sense, they've always been like this, they're used to it.

He used to keep quiet.

Although I sometimes felt uncomfortable, I never said a word.

But after Qiuqiu became afraid of him...

"Snapped!"

This time, it was Lin Jinghui who threw down the chopsticks.

Everyone at the table was stunned.

Everyone looked at Lin Jinghui, puzzled, wondering what had gotten into him.
