Chapter 38 Yes, yes, I pretended to be strong!
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Yuemei with a slightly sarcastic look, and then affectionately put a dumpling on He Jing's plate.
Faced with blatant humiliation, Li Yuemei blushed with embarrassment, rubbing her sleeves with her hands, a sense of resentment welling up inside her.
She had long forgotten why her mother had sent her here.
She had harbored a secret love for He Jingxin since she was a child, but why did Ye Xiaoxiao marry him?
He Jing was different from the others in the village. Although he didn't talk much, he inexplicably attracted her attention.
The scene of Ye Xiaoxiao and He Jing together before her eyes stung her. A burning resentment within her consumed her like a monster.
"Xiao Xiao, I just came to see if you're alright. What happened in the woods last time... I was afraid you might do something rash... After all, you were almost bullied and lost your innocence... Now it seems I was just being overly worried."
Ye Xiaoxiao paused in her eating of dumplings, a cold glint appearing in her eyes. This Li Yuemei was no ordinary person.
In front of He Jing's family, under the guise of caring for her, he told everyone in the room that she had almost been assaulted and her reputation was ruined.
She knew how much people in ancient times valued reputation.
This Li Yuemei is no ordinary person; she's incredibly malicious.
Upon hearing this, Mother He slammed the bowl down on the table and silently glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao.
Before Ye Xiaoxiao could catch the emotion in He's mother's eyes, she saw her turn her gaze to Li Yuemei, who was standing at the door, and say sternly:
"Miss Li, you are not welcome in our home. Please leave."
As soon as Li Yuemei saw He Jing's mother give the order to leave, she turned and left without hesitation, a smug look of satisfaction on her lips.
See? Ye Xiaoxiao will definitely be divorced. No husband's family can tolerate a woman who has lost her chastity.
Hmph! Ye Xiaoxiao, you'll never beat me!
I'm waiting for you to be kicked out of the He family tomorrow, crying your eyes out. It would be best if you left Dongyuan Village forever and never came back.
After Li Yuemei disappeared from the He family's sight, He's mother held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand with a look of heartache and affection.
The last time someone came to her house and caused trouble, she heard some noises intermittently, but ultimately she was too selfish to care.
Over time, she realized that the girl in front of her was seriously planning to settle down with them.
"Xiao Xiao, in the end, we are the ones who wronged you in this matter. Don't take it to heart. The ones who made the mistake were those malicious people. Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. If A Jing holds a grudge against you because of this, I will be the first to not forgive him."
Ye Xiaoxiao was taken aback by what He's mother said. Her expression froze for a moment, but feeling the genuine care from He's mother, her eyes welled up with tears. It was the first time she had ever felt this warmth from a family member.
"Mother, I'm fine. I've already beaten that scoundrel up; he's gotten his comeuppance!"
He Wuyang, who was standing to the side, opened his short arms and wrapped them around Ye Xiaoxiao's waist. His soft, sweet voice rang out: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you chase away the bad guys from now on!"
"And I!"
He Wuyou was not to be outdone, and patted his chest to assure everyone that he would never let anyone bully his family!
Seeing the two little devils in front of her looking so confident, Ye Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
She reached out and pinched their slightly chubby cheeks: "I believe that with the two of you around, no one can bully me!"
He Jing saw that the woman in front of him had eyes like shooting stars, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose, but a bright smile on her lips, just like a peony wet by the rain at night, delicate yet strong.
He thought that she might be pretending to be strong.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at He Jing's direction unintentionally.
Yes, yes, yes! I was just pretending to be strong!
......
into the night.
He Jing, who had just finished washing up, was about to go to bed when he noticed that He Wuyou's chest was bulging, as if he was hiding something.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Wuyou, what are you holding in your arms?"
He Wuyou's bright eyes lit up, and with a look of delight, she pulled open her collar, gesturing for her older brother to come and take a look.
He Jing walked over and saw a round, white thing.
He asked uncertainly, "Is this... an egg?"
"Mmm!" He Wuyou nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
He Jing said dismissively, "Then we'll fry it and eat it tomorrow. Why put it in my chest?"
He has recently become quite confident in his culinary skills.
