Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: What Nonsense Are You Babbling?
He Jiefang hurriedly walked a few steps: "Mom, Jinxuan called back and said he’ll be bringing his wife back the day after tomorrow."
Mother He got a bit excited hearing her third son was coming back: "Really coming back?"
He Jiefang nodded: "Yes, I took leave right after hanging up the phone and came back, thinking I should tell you all first. We should get Jinxuan’s room ready for him."
Mother He asked: "Did you just say Xinyan is coming back too?"
He Jiefang saw his mom just realizing this: "You heard right, Jinxuan told me they’re coming back together."
Mother He slapped her thigh: "Yes, yes, eldest daughter-in-law, come quickly with me to open the windows in Third’s room and take the quilts out of the cupboards to dry."
After speaking, she turned around to go back inside and get the keys.
The He family’s eldest daughter-in-law went inside to pull out a headscarf to wrap around her head, surely needing to help clean up Third’s room properly.
At this time, Mother He also came out and saw her eldest son still in the yard: "Alright, you hurry back to work."
He Jiefang cautiously asked: "Mom, was it you who called Jinxuan?"
Mother He didn’t hide it: "With such a big thing happening at home, of course we had to tell him. Besides, it was Yanqing who suggested it, I couldn’t just stop her, could I?"
He Jiefang understood immediately, it seemed to be his sister’s idea.
No wonder his mom said to wait until his sister recovered before discussing this matter, it turned out there was a plan.
It seemed like they wanted to use the Cui Family’s guilt and shame to first ensure his sister’s health recovery before settling the accounts.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If they had gone over there in a fuss earlier, the Cui Family probably wouldn’t have let his sister properly recover from her confinement.
Understanding this, he responded: "Mom, wife, I’ll head back to work then."
After saying this, he rode his bicycle out of the gate in a hurry.
Wang Erni shouted behind him: "Take it easy."
As her words fell, He Jiefang’s shabby bicycle already darted far away, and a distant voice came: "Got it."
Passing by Second Brother’s yard, seeing the mess inside, she shook her head and sighed. She didn’t even know how to manage Second Brother’s household matters anymore.
Unlocking the door with a key, Wang Erni went in to open the windows: "Mom, let’s just leave the windows open during the day. I’ll close them later."
Mother He nodded: "No one’s lived here for so long, we need to open the windows and let some air in."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon started bustling around busily.
Wang Erni brought water and a cloth as she arrived, now efficiently tidying up.
Unexpectedly, the He family’s second daughter-in-law, Gao Yumei, walked in: "Oh, what’s this all about?"
After glancing around the room: "Mom, what are you up to, are you planning to let the first family take over Third’s room?"
Mother He was at her wit’s end with the second daughter-in-law: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Gao Yumei, unconvinced, said: "If no one else is allowed to live here, why are you cleaning it up?"
Suddenly she thought of something: "Is Third coming back?"
Thinking of this, her eyes started darting around: "Oh wow, Mom, it’s great that Third is coming back, why didn’t you tell me so I could come help?"
Mother He was about to retort her but saw the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Erni, stood up: "Mom, since she offered to help, I’ll head back, I’ve got sweet potatoes steaming on the stove."
Ever since the falling out with the second family over the miscarriage, Wang Erni had not collaborated with Gao Yumei, finding her false demeanor sickening. After speaking, she left with the bucket she brought along.
