"Third Brother, did Third Sister-in-law really not get hurt?" Xie Jingzi’s voice trembled and shook.
"No, Chun Mei reacted very promptly, your Third Sister-in-law wasn’t even frightened." Xie Jingchen replied affirmatively.
He also felt grateful for Wang Chunmei’s reaction internally; otherwise, just the thought of his little wife getting hurt filled him with dread.
"Then, we really should be thankful to Wang Chunmei." Xie Jingzi, reassured by her brother’s assurance, replied in a conflicted tone.
Should she forgive her just like that?
A moment of hesitation flashed through Xie Jingzi’s heart, but as soon as she thought about Third Sister-in-law’s pregnant belly, the hesitation disappeared.
Compared to the safety of Third Sister-in-law, the slight unfairness she had experienced was entirely negligible.
Just as her brother said, upon reflecting honestly, Wang Chunmei hadn’t really harmed her.
Why should she cling to that minor embarrassment and make everyone uncomfortable?
"Have you understood, Little Sister?" Xie Jingchen patted his youngest sister’s shoulder, upon hearing her words, he knew his sensible little sister had understood.
Xie Jingzi pouted her small lips, muttering in complaint: "I let her off easy. If it wasn’t for the fact that she saved Third Sister-in-law, I would never bother with her for the rest of my life! Humph, I’m going to see Third Sister-in-law now~~"
After speaking, Xie Jingzi hastily wiped her tears and ran past her brother back to the main house—
"What a little girl, saying ’for a lifetime’ when life is so long, thoughts grow and change, how can she just blurt out ’for a lifetime’." Xie Jingchen watched helplessly as his little sister acted petulant, without turning around, he sensed that his little sister’s husband had embraced her.
Clearly, although far away and unable to hear the conversation below the eaves, Zhou Zhenghui was concerned when he saw Xie Jingchen’s actions; seeing his wife completely blocked by her uncle, he instinctively placed Xiaojiu beside Little Shier and nodded to his Third Sister-in-law before standing up.
Just as he reached the front door, he saw his wife running back; he embraced her, his motions slightly hurried disturbed their posture a bit, Zhou Zhenghui steadied his delicate wife, then asked with concern, "Xiaozi, what’s wrong?"
"Uncle, it’s nothing, I just wanted to check on how Third Sister-in-law is doing." Xie Jingzi slightly embarrassed, lowered her head, tidying the disheveled hair by her ears while hiding the redness around her eyes.
Zhou Zhenghui didn’t believe it; his little woman was usually demure, only avoiding his gaze like this when her eyes were red. Thinking this, Zhou Zhenghui felt even more somber, he was about to lift her face to check when he saw Xie Jingchen walking back.
Xie Jingzi tugged at her uncle’s sleeve, signaling him to let go quickly, as his hand was now on her waist, which made her very embarrassed.
"Third Brother, what were you talking about?" Zhou Zhenghui, undeterred by his wife’s distraction, stared straight into his uncle-in-law’s eyes.
Xie Jingzi pulled on her uncle’s arm, but ended up being embraced even more tightly; she could only whisper softly, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
While still appearing to be competing with her older brother, which left Xie Jingzi utterly speechless.
The problem was, he couldn’t beat her older brother, and she was afraid it would just turn around and her older brother would end up reproaching her...
