CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 205: I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE’S THINKING

Afraid that Yao Hui would persist, she turned to Lyu Xiangyang and slapped him hard on the back: "You ruined the good eggs, now hurry and apologize to your aunt."

Lyu Xiangyang initially didn’t want to apologize, but seeing his father scowling, he wisely said, "I’m sorry."

Looking at the eggs shattered all over the floor, Lyu Juncheng held back his heartache: "Alright, since you know it was wrong, clean up the floor."

After speaking, he looked up at Yao Hui: "You shouldn’t just stand there, go make dinner."

Lyu Xiangyang looked at the eggs on the floor: "Dad, these eggs can still be collected and fried."

Lyu Juncheng also craved eggs, but what could he say? If word got out, the neighborhood would laugh at them. He glared at his son and walked out, leaving it up to his son on how to handle it.

As he left, he didn’t forget to call out: "Yao Hui, it’s getting late, hurry and make dinner."

The commotion just now was naturally overheard by the neighbors. This gossip quickly spread, and in no time, various versions were circulating.

He Jinxuan came back, so Yu Xinyan no longer needed to look after Ye Sili and Ye Siyan.

After eating, she arrived at Uncle Zhang’s house as planned.

Seeing Aunt Zhang enjoying the cool air in the yard: "Aunt Zhang, I’m here."

Aunt Zhang beckoned to her with a smile: "Xinyan, come and sit."

Yu Xinyan walked over with a smile: "Where’s Uncle Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang pointed to the shed: "Looks like it’s going to rain, so he’s tidying up the yard. He’ll be done soon."

At this moment, the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhang family, Lin Aifeng, came out of the kitchen holding her stomach: "Xinyan, you’re here."

Yu Xinyan nodded, seeing her holding her stomach: "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Lin Aifeng felt a bit embarrassed: "Yeah, it’s a little uncomfortable."

Yu Xinyan noticed her unnatural expression and thought of something, getting up to stand beside her: "Is it your time of the month?"

Lin Aifeng nodded gently: "Yes."

Yu Xinyan curiously asked: "Come sit over here. Didn’t you take a lot of herbal medicine last time? Did it not work?"

Lin Aifeng sat down with Yu Xinyan: "It helped a bit, this time is much better than before, but it’s still pretty uncomfortable."

Aunt Zhang heard their conversation: "Oh dear, if you’re not feeling well, why didn’t you say so? Why take on washing dishes? We women need to learn to be kind to ourselves. Don’t do any chores in the next few days, alright?"

Lin Aifeng was very touched: "It’s not that delicate, but thank you, Grandma."

Uncle Zhang heard Yu Xinyan’s voice: "Xinyan has come, give me a moment, I’ll be right there."

Yu Xinyan stood up with a smile: "No rush, take your time."

Uncle Zhang was quite efficient; as soon as he finished speaking, he was done with his work. He walked over to wash his hands: "Let’s go, we’ll study inside where it’s brighter."

Lin Aifeng asked curiously: "Study what?"

Aunt Zhang replied: "Xinyan asked your grandpa to teach her traditional Chinese characters."

Lin Aifeng was puzzled: "Why learn that?"

Yu Xinyan didn’t want to explain too much, she just said: "I just want to learn, so I won’t miss out on understanding books in traditional characters in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Aifeng also became interested and followed them inside.

But she was genuinely impressed by Yu Xinyan’s learning speed; she couldn’t keep up even if she tried hard. And that’s with Yu Xinyan intentionally slowing down; otherwise, she’d be very frustrated.

After finishing, as they came out, they saw Aunt Zhang chatting at the gate.

Seeing Yu Xinyan come out, Sister Cheng, who was talking, waved to her with a smile: "Xinyan, I heard Yao Hui stopped you today to borrow money?"

There’s truly no secret in the compound; although it’s not small, when something happens, it spreads quickly from one to another, and sure enough, it reached Sister Cheng.

Yu Xinyan wasn’t going to hide it for Yao Hui: "Yes."

Sister Cheng got confirmation from Yu Xinyan: "See, how thick-skinned must one be? I just don’t understand what she was thinking."

Yu Xinyan laughed: "Her skin is indeed thick enough."

Just then, a sister Yu Xinyan didn’t recognize spoke up: "You probably don’t know this, I just went to deliver vegetables to my second aunt, and I heard that Yao Hui was instigated by Bai Meiqin to borrow money from Xinyan."
