Chapter 5545: Chapter 5545: Sinking

How could one not understand reason?

Yet sometimes, one fails to consider it, committing the gravest of errors one should not make.

Such as Madam Qin, had Old Madam not found out in time and stopped her immediately, she would have made a mistake.

Old Madam looked at her daughter-in-law, who was so obtuse when it came to the matter of Ye Jian, and the old lady truly could not fathom it.

When had Dingkang’s wife ever committed such foolish acts? Having married into the Qin family for so many years, she had never been so foolish, which made her suspect that something might have gone wrong with her brain!

"Think about it, if you had really gone just now, let’s not mention that you don’t truly understand Ye Jian, but even if you did, what would you say in front of Old Man Xia, and how would he react? How would he treat our Qin family?"

"The most basic thing is face. If someone told you that Ying brought home a boyfriend who was bad or inferior, would you feel comfortable?"

"This, this is different," Madam Qin startled, realizing with alarm. Could it be that Old Man Xia already considered that Little Fox one of his own?

How could that be possible?

"How is it not the same, it’s exactly the same," Old Madam Qin said with a stern face, "Therefore, whether today or in the future, do not speak ill of Ye Jian, and Ye Jian is not as you imagine. Stop looking at her through colored glasses; she is a good child."

Madam Qin immediately felt wronged. In her many years married into the Qin family, the Old Madam had hardly ever spoken harshly to her, but now, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, she was being scolded for a girl unrelated to their family. What kind of spell had Ye Jian cast on these people, that they all spoke up for her?

Her sense of grievance showed on her face, infuriating Old Madam Qin, "You feel wronged? Fine, if you want to make a fool of yourself, I won’t stop you. Go to the Fu family now and talk about Ye Jian; I won’t hold you back."

"If you cause trouble, I will, despite my old age, mend the relationship between our two families at the Fu residence!"

Old Madam was genuinely angry, and Madam Qin didn’t dare actually go; even though she felt aggrieved, she wouldn’t say she was wronged and hastily began to apologize to the Old Madam.

In the kitchen, the Qin family’s eldest daughter-in-law, having overheard everything, felt somewhat at ease about Ye Jian, who had unsettled her sister-in-law.

If the Old Madam thought well of someone, her sister-in-law disliked the same person. The Old Madam was not likely mistaken; her sister-in-law must be misunderstanding.

Observers know best; even the Qin family’s eldest daughter-in-law thought Madam Qin was misunderstanding Ye Jian, yet Madam Qin did not realize her error.

To spare her sister-in-law’s dignity, the family’s eldest daughter-in-law held back from stepping out, allowing Madam Qin to appease her mother-in-law until she calmed down.

Meanwhile, the Fu family had just finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Jinnian took the initiative to propose that he would head to the Li family’s old residence and return in the afternoon.

Even though he hadn’t spent New Year’s Eve at the Li residence, he still had to visit on the first day of the Chinese New Year for the sake of etiquette. Li Jinnian would not let himself err in this regard.

As long as his biological father was still at the Li family’s old residence, he had to visit. Otherwise, Madam Li would grasp this and use it to trouble him in various ways.

Li Jinnian, who had long become accustomed to Madam Li’s antics, never suffered a loss at her hands since leaving the Li family.

No sooner had Li Jinnian left than Qin Dingkang, father and son Qin Xiu, along with Qin Dinghai’s eldest son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, Qin Dingbo, and his family set out to wish Old Man Xia a happy New Year.

The arrival of over a dozen family members was sure to add to the liveliness of the Fu residence.
