Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 466: Stingy and Stable Ex-wife

"Then why didn't you stop me yesterday when I stood up for you?" Yu Li's tone was somewhat self-deprecating. She sighed softly and looked at Yu Haitang with gentle eyes.

"I stopped you, but you didn't listen to me."

Yu Haitang retorted in a low voice, with a hint of grievance in her voice. She looked up at Yu Li, her eyes gleaming with a gleam of request for understanding, and her hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes, looking a little uneasy.

"You still said that I did that for you."

Yu Li glared at Yu Haitang, but her rebuke was more of a love and helplessness for her sister. She reached out and gently stroked Yu Haitang's hair, trying to calm her down.

"Okay, sister, now think about what to do."

Yu Haitang's tone was a little anxious. She held Yu Li's hand, her eyes full of anxiety. "My dad said yesterday that he wanted Yu Shui to go back to the courtyard to confront me."

"Now you know you're anxious. What were you doing before?"

Although Yu Li said this, she had already started to plan a solution for her sister. She gently patted the back of Yu Haitang's hand to show her reprimand, but more importantly, she encouraged her to face the problem.

"I know I was wrong, sister. I really don't want to have a bad relationship with Yu Shui, and I don't want Brother Yu Zhu to have a rift with me because of this matter." Yu Haitang's eyes became red again, and she held Yu Li's hand tightly, as if drawing strength from it.

Yu Li looked at her tearful sister Yu Haitang, her brows furrowed, her hands unconsciously intertwined, revealing her inner anxiety and helplessness.

She sighed softly and tried to comfort him with a gentle but firm voice: "Haitang, don't worry, let's find a solution together. Wipe your tears first, and then tell me the whole story in detail. Maybe we can find a way out."

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Yu Haitang's eyes. Her action was full of love and care from an older sister for her younger sister.

Yu Haitang took the handkerchief, looked at Yu Li with gratitude, tried to calm down, and began to tell her about her predicament in a disjointed manner.

There was a little sob in her voice, but more of it was the fear of the unknown and the feeling of powerlessness in the current situation. Yu Li listened attentively, frowning more and more, nodding or shaking her head from time to time to show her understanding or doubt.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the He family was also a little subtle. He Yuzhu and the other two stepped into the house, and their eyes quickly swept across the empty living room, with some guesses in their minds.

He walked straight towards He Daqing who was drinking tea alone, and said with a bit of irritation in his tone: "Dad, Haitang hasn't come back yet, I'll go pick her up now. You chat with Yushui and the others first, I'll be back soon."

He Daqing paused for a moment as he held the teacup in his hand. He looked up at his son, a hint of worry flashing across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

"Okay, go ahead."

He Yuzhu nodded, and when he turned around, he gave his sister He Yushui an apologetic look, signaling her not to be angry.

Then, he strode out of the room with unquestionable determination in his steps. Outside the door, he took a deep breath of fresh air, as if to cheer himself up, and then quickly disappeared in front of the door and headed straight for Yu Li's home.

......

When He Yushui saw He Yuzhu's hurried back disappearing behind the door, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and then he turned to face He Daqing, with a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance in his eyes.

She put her hands on her hips and paced back and forth unconsciously, as if she was laying the groundwork for what she was going to say next.

"Dad, let me tell you, I'm really pissed off by Yu Haitang this time!" He Yushui's voice unconsciously rose a few notches, with obvious indignation in his tone.

"She never thought of giving me money for the meals and things I bought for her before, and I never cared about it. But this time, she actually said that to me. It's really disheartening!" When she said this, her eyes turned slightly red, as if she would cry at any time.

Seeing this, He Daqing quickly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, walked to He Yushui, and patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

"Yushui, Dad knows you've been wronged, but we have to be magnanimous. Your sister-in-law is pregnant now. No matter what, you have to take her emotions and the baby in her belly into consideration. You don't want anything to happen to your niece, right?"

He Daqing's words were full of kindness and responsibility, and his eyes revealed his deep concern for his family.

He Yushui listened to his father's words. Although the dissatisfaction in his heart did not completely dissipate, he also realized the possible impact of his words and actions.

She sighed softly, nodded, and her tone softened a lot: "Dad, I understand. I don't really want to argue with her, I just feel uncomfortable. I will be careful about my tone and won't make things difficult for my brother."

After saying this, she looked up and looked out the window, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She was angry at Yu Haitang's behavior, but also looked forward to and was happy about becoming an aunt.

Finally, she retracted her gaze and looked at He Daqing again, forcing a smile on her face: "Dad, don't worry, I won't bother with her for the sake of my little niece."

He Daqing looked at his daughter He Yushui's sensible appearance, his eyes could not help but slightly reddened, and his heart was filled with complex emotions. He stretched out his big hands full of traces of time, and gently but firmly patted He Yushui's shoulders.

Then, he took a deep breath and sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness and self-blame as a father: "Yushui, I am sorry for you. I made you bear so much pressure and grievances that you should not bear."

Hearing this, He Yushui suddenly raised her head and her eyes met with He Daqing's. There was a strange light in her eyes, which was her understanding of her father.

She shook her head gently, forcing a smile from the corners of her mouth. Her voice was soft but firm: "Dad, don't say that. I don't blame you, really. It's all because of Yu Haitang... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it. There's no point in talking about it."

"Ah!" He Daqing sighed heavily, with a look of helplessness and regret in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of He Yuzhu's former wife Liu Xiuxiu, a woman who seemed stingy but lived a stable life.

Before their son got into trouble, their family lived a peaceful and happy life. Although there were occasional frictions with the rain, it was not as chaotic as it is now.

And this Yu Haitang seemed so good at first - generous, cultured, and a good friend of Yu Shui. When Yu Shui enthusiastically brought her and He Yuzhu together, He Daqing was actually pleased and looking forward to it.

However, things are unpredictable. Since she became pregnant, everything has changed. Not only can she not tolerate Chang'an, she can't even tolerate her sister-in-law who is about to get married. Such changes make He Daqing confused and sad.
