Chapter 170 I am Xie Zhiyan's older sister!

Stone immediately became alert. He quickly pulled his hand back, covered it with his sleeve, and shook his head like a rattle drum.

"It's nothing."

The child's heart, which had just opened, immediately closed tightly again.

Yueyue looked at Shuying with some confusion. The weather was already hot, and the children who came to play were all wearing shorts and short sleeves. Only Shitou was still wearing long sleeves. Even though he was sweating profusely, he kept hiding his wrists in his sleeves.

Shu Ying had a feeling something was wrong.

Yangyang mustered up her courage and invited him: "Brother Stone, why don't you come to our house to play? We have lots of fun things at home, and my mom made me a toy car."

Yueyue also squatted down and looked into his eyes, squatting next to him like a little mushroom.

"Yes, yes, and our dinner will be ready soon. Why don't we eat together tonight? Mom said that if you accept help from others, you should find a way to repay them. We have some fruit that Mom bought. My brother and I will be with you tonight, and I'll take you home, okay?"

If the two of them dared to go to the hospital, then visiting their neighbors would be even less of a problem.

The two little ones enthusiastically invited him over. Stone's eyes sparkled, but when he glanced in the direction of his own house, he knew that the person in the house not far away was staring intently at him, even though the door was tightly closed.

If I really go, I'll definitely get beaten up again when I get home tonight.

He shook his head somewhat dejectedly: "You guys go home first, I'll just play here. School starts tomorrow and I haven't finished my homework yet. My family won't let me visit anyone."

Shu Ying had originally planned to let the child come to her home to gradually understand the situation, but since Shi Tou had already said so, she couldn't say anything more.

"Yueyue and Yangyang, your brother has to go to school tomorrow, so we can't play together all day. You can play together again after your brother gets out of school tomorrow, okay? Say goodbye to Brother Stone, we have to go back too."

Yangyang felt a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Okay, goodbye, Brother Stone. You must come out early tomorrow. My sister and I will wait for you here."

Ding Rumei fanned herself with one hand. After all that fuss, she still hadn't seen any excitement. Those two useless people returned empty-handed. Not only did they fail to extinguish Shu Ying's arrogance, but they also allowed her to take advantage of Xie Zhiyan's influence and become smug.

She lowered her hands, her voice tinged with reluctance: "Let's go back to eat. The food will get cold soon, and it won't taste good if we reheat it."

Shu Ying led a child back by the hand of each of her two hands, while Ding Rumei kept chattering.

"Although what happened today may not necessarily be the fault of these two children, you, as their mother, can't be so aggressive. The children are young and don't understand, but you, as an adult, have to teach them principles. My brother works hard every day and comes home to have to deal with all this mess. Sister-in-law, can't you give me a break?"

Song Zhaodi found these words grating, and she suddenly stopped walking forward.

"You have a head that can't distinguish right from wrong. Anyway, it's no use having this head on your shoulders. Otherwise, you might as well twist it off and let the kids kick it around like a ball. Don't you hear what people are saying? A relative you're not even related to, and you still have the nerve to pat yourself on the back."

She endured Ding Rumei all day long.

I don't know if this person has the habit of brushing their teeth in the morning, but the saliva they spray when they talk smells terrible.

Even a dog knows to wag its tail at its owner. She accepts the money without a care in the world, and while she's picky about things at home, she can't even tell friend from foe when she's out in the world.

Ding Rumei wasn't pretending to be stupid; she genuinely lacked something.

“What right do you, a nanny, have to interfere in our family affairs? You were hired specifically to take care of the children, and today these two kids have caused such a big mess, and it's all your fault. I've always said I don't trust outsiders with disciplining children. Sister-in-law, these two kids of yours are really troublesome; don't let things get worse in the future…”

"What do you mean by 'outsider'? What do you mean by 'not someone to be trifled with'? You'd better make yourself clear today. In front of the children, you've spoken recklessly more than once. I'm only giving you face because you were invited by your mother-in-law. If you can't tell whose money you're really holding, you're going back by train tonight!"

The day's events had already left Shu Ying exhausted, and Ding Rumei was now adding fuel to the fire.

Song Zhaodi pushed open the courtyard door with one hand, showing Ding Rumei not even the slightest bit of politeness.

"The flowers in the yard are all going to die from the sun outside. When you came, you said you were so capable. You took good care of every nook and cranny. Also, you don't need to worry about the children. You just need to cook three meals a day for the family."

Although she never dared to consider herself a member of this family, Shu Ying always said that they were a family.

There were some things Shu Ying couldn't say because of her family ties, but she didn't mind playing the villain.

"What right do you have to say these things to me? Who is your status and position? I am Xie Zhiyan's sister!"

Song Zhaodi threw the rag at her: "A sister who's not even remotely related to you is considered a sister? Even if he met a beggar on the street and saw that she was older than him, he would still have to call her sister. He really thinks he's some kind of authority. Go inside and look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are."

Ding Rumei was so angry she couldn't say a word, while Shu Ying secretly gave Song Zhaodi a thumbs up.

Song Zhaodi was a kind person, and when she arrived at this place, she was afraid of causing trouble for her, so she often kept silent about the grievances she suffered.

Shu Ying was happy that she was able to express herself today.

The two children stood at the entrance to their yard, frequently glancing towards the sandpit.

Yueyue rested her chin on one hand, looking at Yangyang with a worried expression.

"Brother, why isn't Shi Tou going home for dinner at this hour? He looks so lonely all alone there."

When they came back, they saw Uncle Li ask him, and he kept saying that he was playing by himself.

Although her mother glanced back, she ultimately didn't invite Brother Stone to their home, leaving Yueyue somewhat worried.

She only thinks about being alone when she's really sad.

Although Yueyue's eyes widened, she remembered what Potato had said.

"Brother, Potato just said that Stone's mother died and his father remarried and didn't want him anymore. Is he sad because of this?"

Yangyang quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "Ptooey, ptooey, Brother Stone didn't tell us that we can't say things like that. If Brother Stone hears this, he will be sad."
