So they built an ancestral shrine at the back of Jiuling Mountain.
After that, they would return to Shuiling Village approximately every five years.
No one expected that the small bickering between Yin Bowen and Zhu Lan during the day would turn into a war at night that was hard to quell!
Zhu Lan even started throwing dishes at the dining table without any sense of propriety.
"You want a divorce, right? Fine! If you have the guts, just go ahead and divorce!"
With a loud "bang!"
The plate shattered at Yin Junjie’s feet.
Su Xiaong saw this, and imdiately ran over to pull Yin Junjie away from Zhu Lan.
She hurriedly whispered to the Tong couple sitting by the side, "Take the kids to grandpa and grandma’s place."
Tong Xiang, a well-behaved and lively little girl, was so frightened by her aunt’s outburst that her big eyes lost their sparkle and she quickly burrowed into her dad’s arms.
Zhu Lan was preoccupied with arguing with Yin Bowen and paid no attention to the kids.
Yin Junjie obediently followed Su Xiaong to another table, sitting next to his great-grandparents.
Yin Shaohui’s face was grim, and Yin Shiqing didn’t look at the old man but stood up and walked over after Zhu Lan threw the plate!
"You are too indulgent with each other normally! What kind of place is this for you to argue!"
Zhu Lan feared her father-in-law’s silence more than his words, and now she shouted louder, tears and all, "Dad! Haven’t I contributed enough to this family? How could Yin Bowen treat like this?! Huh?"
"How did I treat you? You throw tantrums regardless of ti, place, or occasion, and I just said a couple of words to you, and you made a fuss till now? Do you have any sense?"
"Just said a couple of words? Yin Bowen, if you’re a man, admit it! Did you hit or not! Did you hit or not!"
Zhu Lan pointed her finger at him, trembling with rage.
And Yin Bowen’s face clearly stiffened, making it evident that Zhu Lan might be telling the truth.
"Zhu Lan, I’m warning you, if you, this shrew, go any further—"
"Ah! Are you going to hit again?!"
"You—"
"That’s enough! I’ve watched you make a fool of yourselves all day! Get out! Don’t disturb everyone eating!"
Yin Shiqing was sowhat enraged, and his shout indeed made Yin Bowen and Zhu Lan stop.
No one dared to make a sound.
"Bowen, take your wife ho."
"We’ll take care of Junjie; your son is this big and you as parents should be ashad!"
After Yin Shiqing finished speaking, Yin Bowen wanted to say sothing but opened his mouth only to close it again.
Yet, the subtle change in Yin Bowen’s expression was still caught by Yin Shiqing.
As Yin Bowen and Zhu Lan started to leave, Yin Shiqing, not too lightly or heavily, said in front of everyone, "No divorces allowed in the Yin Family."
Yin Bowen’s steps visibly paused, while Zhu Lan let out a cold snort, glaring at the back of Yin Bowen’s head!
After the couple left the living room, it suddenly beca quiet.
"Continue eating."
Yin Shaohui spoke, and those who had left the table returned to continue with their al.
Yin Junjie sat sandwiched between his grandparents, looking gloomy, evidently still under the shadow of his parents’ fight.
After the al, the old man called Yin Shiqing into a room and said sothing that no one knew about.
But when Yin Shiqing ca out, his face didn’t look good.
Yin Shixiu was in the kitchen, preparing so milk powder for Shuangshuang and Huanghuang for later.
When returning to his room, Yin Shiqing coincidentally ca downstairs, and they crossed paths.
Seeing Yin Shixiu holding two bottles, Yin Shiqing couldn’t help but smile, "The fourth brother has beco a dad now, I am getting old..."
"Big brother, what are you saying?"
Yin Shiqing patted Yin Shixiu’s shoulder, only saying with deep aning, "No matter how affectionately you call big brother, after all, it’s not by blood..."
The words trailed off with his departing steps.
Yin Shixiu watched Yin Shiqing’s figure retreat, his eyes deepening...
Upon returning to the room, he imdiately heard Su Xiaong’s shriek!
"What’s wrong?"
Yin Shixiu hurried to her side, thinking sothing had happened to her...
Only to find her holding her nightgown, looking pitiful... almost as if she could cry at any mont.
"Yin! Jin! Xi!"
Shuangshuang still didn’t know what happened, found her mom’s yelling amusing, and sat there grabbing her little feet, looking up, giggling towards Su Xiaong.
Yin Shixiu set the bottles down, took the nightgown from Su Xiaong, and when he unfolded it —
He stared at the two big holes in the silk chiffon nightgown and couldn’t help but laugh.
With that laugh, he imdiately got a kick from Su Xiaong!
