Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Using a Cane_1 Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Using a Cane_1 He Jinlan slowly made her way to Huo Beijiang’s bedroom door, reaching out to grasp the doorknob. She gently pushed open the door and silently walked in.
As expected, it was unlocked!
Her brother had always spoiled her, giving her anything delicious or entertaining she wished for without a second thought. However, he particularly didn’t like her entering his room.
Despite her tears and pleas, it made no difference!
In the past, she was naive. If her brother said not to enter, she would obediently refrain.
He Jinlan slowly lay down on Huo Beijiang’s bed, resting her head on his pillow and greedily inhaling his scent in the room. A dreamy expression appeared on her face.
She vowed that half of her brother’s bed must belong to her.
The next day, He Jinlan woke up early and quietly left Huo Beijiang’s room. As soon as she returned to her own room, Yuan Xueshan came knocking.
“Jinlan, are you awake? Do you have school today?”
“Mom, I’m awake.” He Jinlan walked over to open the door, revealing a pleasing smile. “Mom, I’m afraid I’ll be laughed at if I go to school looking . Can you help me take a day off?”
“Ok! I’ll ask for leave for you.” Yuan Xueshan, moved by pity, wanted to stroke her face, but her hand halted midair.
He Jinlan quickly grabbed her hand and said affectionately, “Mom, you will always be my best mom. Can we ignore others and live our own lives? I will always be your good daughter.”
“Sigh! You rest first, I’ll boil some eggs and roll them on your face. If you don’t want to go downstairs, I’ll bring your breakfast up.” Given the attitude of her mother-in-law last night, she definitely won’t be nice to Jinlan.
“Mom, you’re so good to me.” He Jinlan was moved to tears.
As Yuan Xueshan exited He Jinlan’s room, her mood instantly darkened. Since hearing about Qiao Jingxuan’s affair with Jiang Nanfei last night, she felt as if her heart was being grilled over a fire.
Turning over all night, she didn’t sleep a wink.
Compared to her previous disdain and disgust for Jiang Nanfei, Jiang Nanfei’s indecency and flirtatiousness were even more unforgivable and infuriating.
Her outstanding son gave his whole heart to her, not for her to trample on it.
In recent times, she has compromised, planning to turn a blind eye. As long as her son was happy, even if she didn’t like it, she couldn’t create a storm in a teacup over Jiang Nanfei as she did before.
But what did her tolerance and compromise yield?
No, she has to find out the truth today. If it’s true, she won’t let Jiang Nanfei set foot in their house, even if it kills her.
“What are you doing?” Zhou Yongxian, holding a cane, stood in the living room, looking up at her daughter-in-law who was in a daze at the top of the stairs. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
She noticed something was off about her daughter-in-law since last night.
Whenever He Jinlan was involved, her daughter-in-law would act as if her mind was clouded with lard.
Always messing things up.
Snapping back to reality, Yuan Xueshan didn’t dare reveal her thoughts in front of her mother-in-law, and quickly changed the subject. “Mom, what happened? Why are you using a cane?” Her mother-in-law had always been robust and never used a walking stick.
“I’m not feeling well.” Using a cane was a recent idea she had. The other day, during a prayer meeting, she saw several older women using canes. From chatting with them, she found out that canes not only provided stability when walking.
The primary function was for disciplining.
If a mischievous grandchild needed a rebuke, a whack with the cane was very effective.
Similarly, it came in handy in case of a quarrel with villagers.
