Chapter 453 Li Chunxing couldn't help but take action

Wen Luozhi was already waiting at her door before dinner.

Afraid that Xie He had really fallen asleep, she didn't dare to make a sound and just waited quietly at the door.

Xie He had indeed been asleep, but had been awake for a while. Afraid that Wen Luozhi would be smug, she deliberately opened the door later.

"What are you standing at the door for? Can't you smell the food?"

Even though she knew her daughter was calling for her, she still said something stern.

Wen Luozhi wasn't angry; instead, she followed behind her like a lackey.

At the dinner table, she was even more attentive, which made Jiang Shuqian laugh. However, Xie He still ignored her and kept a straight face the whole time.

After finishing her meal and washing up, Xie He went inside without saying a word.

Wen Luozhi lingered at her door for a while, then lowered her head and went to swing in the yard.

Every now and then it made a creaking sound, and Xie He reached out and quietly peered through the window.

The entire courtyard was quiet. Wen Luozhi, sitting on the swing, frowned, looking preoccupied. Her lonely and desolate figure looked pitiful, so pitiful that it broke one's heart.

Xie He sighed softly and took out the luminous pearl from the cabinet.

The room brightened up instantly, drawing Wen Luozhi's attention.

The door creaked open, and Xie He stepped out, feigning surprise. "You scared me to death even when I'm just using the outhouse," she said irritably.

"It's already dawn and we still have to go home. Aren't you going back to sleep? Do you expect to see your dad with two big black eyes tomorrow?!"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the outhouse. Wen Luozhi's face instantly lit up with a bright smile as she jumped off the swing.

"Mother! I'll go with you." She caught up with Xie He in a few steps. Even though it was already very bright, Xie He was still afraid that she would fall, so she stuffed the luminous pearl into her arms.

"Watch where you're going, or I'll have to help you up."

Wen Luozhi waited obediently outside. Xie He came out, glared at her, and walked into her room.

Even as she was about to open the door, the person behind her showed no sign of leaving. Xie He paused for a moment, but then, remembering how far she had gone this time, she took a step inside and slammed the door shut.

Wen Luozhi seemed to have anticipated this outcome. Although still a little sad, she smiled and said at the door, "Goodnight, Mother. I'll come to see you again tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Xie He only felt relieved and went to bed after hearing the door close.

Of course, he couldn't bear to treat his daughter like that, but if he didn't have to be a little ruthless, the little girl would never learn her lesson.

The next day was the same as before. Thinking that Jiang Shuqian was too far into her postpartum period, Wen Luozhi decided to go home by herself. As for Xie He, she could come back and comfort her after she had comforted the others.

Jiang Shuqian refused, saying that the carriage would be slower and less bumpy on the way home, and that everyone should go back together.

When Xie He first heard Wen Luozhi ask her to go home, her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't know what to say.

My daughter-in-law is heavily pregnant and it's not good for her to travel, so she can't very well ask to go back with me, can she?

If she didn't go back and had someone stay in town, it would seem like she, as the mother-in-law, was being unreasonable. It was a difficult situation.

Jiang Shuqian nudged the slightly dazed girl and said with a soft smile, "It's been a long time since I've had Luo Zhi's cooking, so as punishment, I, as her fourth sister-in-law, will make her cook a big feast for us today."

Xie He laughed, then turned to Wen Luozhi, still annoyed, "Did you hear that? Your fourth sister-in-law is going crazy because of you at home."

Jiang Shuqian still asked her brother to inquire about the situation, but she didn't expect that Wen Luozhi would come home before she received any news.

"I'll listen to Fourth Sister-in-law and Mother," Wen Luozhi nodded vigorously. As long as she listened to her, everything would be fine.

Because Li Chunxing was the only one at home taking care of the child, the others had gone to the fields or the mountains.

Wen Jinyu and Wen Jinchen saw Wen Luozhi babbling and rushing over in his walker. Li Chunxing, who was heating up goat milk for the two brothers, heard the noise and ran out.

As soon as I came out, I saw that Wen Luozhi was already holding one person with each arm at the door.

"Little sister! You're back?!" She ran over excitedly and circled around Wen Luozhi twice. Seeing that she was alright, she slapped her on the back with just the right amount of force.

"You brat, I was so worried about you! Thank goodness you're back safe and sound."

Li Chunxing's voice trembled with tears. Realizing what she had just done, she hurriedly apologized to Wen Luozhi, her face filled with panic: "Little sister, don't be angry! Sister-in-law was just too excited to see you come back, that's why..."

She hadn't said a single bad word about her sister-in-law since she married into the family, so why did she suddenly attack her?! Li Chunxing was very uneasy.

Looking at her so lively expression, Wen Luozhi laughed instead. "I deserved to be hit. Sister-in-law did the right thing."

"Does your hand hurt? Would you like me to massage it for you?"

She was happy with the changes in Li Chunxing. She used to feel invisible at home, but now she feels much better.

Knowing that she wasn't angry, Li Chunxing felt relieved, but when she heard her teasing her, she still smiled and said, "Then there's no need. What if your older brother says I'm being inconsiderate when he gets back?"

She was going through a lot of emotional turmoil during this time. Her husband was the head of the family and the pillar of the household. He had to be the first to step forward in any situation. Even if he really passed away that day, she couldn't complain.

But their child is still young, so she must still have selfish motives.

She was thinking that if something really happened to her sister-in-law, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"You two rascals!" she scolded the two boys with a laugh, and rolled up her sleeves to cook lunch, but Wen Luozhi stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, please look after those two brothers. I'll cook something today to apologize to everyone."

Li Chunxing looked at Xie He, and seeing that her mother-in-law nodded slightly to her, she let her sister-in-law do as she pleased.

The group of people who had just returned from working outside smelled a different aroma of vegetables in the yard than usual.

"How quickly has this sister-in-law's cooking improved?" Yang Guilan asked Wen Zizhong beside her in surprise.

Wen Zizhong smiled; he could already smell the aroma of the food that had been cooked.

He pulled Yang Guilan back, his steps quick, a hint of joy on his face. "It's Luo'er back!"

"Huh?!" Yang Guilan reacted faster than him and started running.

Wen Muchuan and his son Wen Ziming exchanged a glance and then ran off as fast as they could.

Wen Luozhi had already prepared hot water and tea for them, and she ran over to hug each of them as she saw them.

"Waaah, Daddy, I miss you so much, I was wrong."

"I heard your second sister-in-law almost went out looking for me the other day; I really would have broken your legs."

"Big brother, why didn't you listen to my advice? Didn't I tell you not to go? Thank goodness you didn't go, otherwise I would have cut ties with you! I'd hate to!"

"Second brother, why didn't you stop your wife? If she had really gone, I would have broken your legs when I got back."

Everyone was both amused and exasperated. Hadn't she agreed to apologize? Why was she now turning around and blaming her family?

The group naturally wouldn't hold it against her; as long as she returned safely, that was the best outcome.

Wen Muchuan affectionately patted her head and said, "There won't be a next time. You scared your father to death."

Wen Luozhi nodded emphatically and personally wrung out a towel to wash his face.

None of her nephews and nieces were angry with their aunt, except for Xie He.
