CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: THEN WE’RE EVEN

Ever since that day, when Xinyan treated those kids to braised fish, Ye Silai and Ye Siyan found playmates, and whenever someone bullied them, someone would stand up for them.

The two kids have visibly brightened up in the past few days.

Seeing Auntie Xie in the yard next door, Xinyan walked to the fence, "Auntie Xie, can I borrow your hoe?"

Ye Silai raised the rose branch in his hand, "Grandma Xie, I picked some roses."

Auntie Xie laughed, "Oh, I didn’t think Sili liked flowers."

Just then, Ye Siyan ran in from outside and shouted, "It’s sister who likes them, we picked them for sister so that when she feels good, the yard will look pretty too."

Sun Fen’e, the second daughter-in-law of the Xie Family, who was doing laundry in the yard, looked up at Xinyan, "When the flowers bloom, she will probably be gone. She’s not going to see them."

Hearing her second daughter-in-law’s words, Auntie Xie immediately stopped laughing, "Just wash your clothes and mind your own business."

Sun Fen’e didn’t think she said anything wrong, "What did I say wrong? Once Director He’s leg recovers, Xinyan will have to leave, so she won’t be able to see them."

Little Siyan, who had grown fond of Xinyan over the past few days, began to cry out loud, "Sister’s not leaving, sister’s not leaving."

Auntie Xie gave her daughter-in-law a look, "Always causing trouble."

Turning to comfort Siyan, she said, "Siyan, don’t cry, we won’t listen to her, she doesn’t know how to talk properly for her age."

Xinyan hugged Little Siyan, "Stop crying, soon sister will plant flowers, and Siyan needs to help. If you keep crying, your face will get chapped."

Besides being a little foodie, Little Siyan was also vain; hearing his sister’s words, he slowly stopped crying, though he was still sobbing, "Sister, don’t leave."

Xinyan wiped away the tears from his face, "We’ll talk about this later. In a bit, sister will plant flowers, and you help water them, okay?"

Without waiting for him to reply, Xinyan said to Sili, "Take the hoe, we’re going to plant flowers."

Seeing Xinyan carrying the child away, Auntie Xie turned to her second daughter-in-law, "Keep your mouth shut from now on, so thoughtless."

Sun Fen’e pouted, "I didn’t say anything wrong, why can’t I speak?"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by, and the weather started to warm up.

During this time, the space was filled by Xinyan with crops, fruits, flowers, and herbs, turning into a whole new landscape.

And because Xinyan frequently drank from the stream in the space, her skin became more delicate and fair, extremely smooth and soft.

Thanks to the fishing rod as a cover, a lot of fish were caught. She even traded fish for other foodstuffs, and He Jinxuan enjoyed plenty of benefits from this. The doctor even said his recovery was going well, and he could be discharged to recuperate at home in a few days.

The two little ones also changed a lot in a month; they made friends and became more lively and cheerful.

During this time, Xinyan found that her strength had increased significantly, not knowing why, but she didn’t worry about it since it was a good thing for her.

That day, when Xinyan was at the hospital, He Jinxuan handed her twenty yuan and a few fabric tickets, "Take these, it’s getting warm, buy some fabric and make clothes for Sili and Siyan, and also for yourself."

Just as Xinyan was about to say, ’I’m fine without,’ He Jinxuan insisted, "Please don’t refuse, we’ve all eaten a lot of the fish you caught."

Having been given a second chance at life, Xinyan was not one to be overly sentimental, "Alright, I can sew the clothes myself, no need to find someone else, so let’s call it even."
