Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Mrs. Xiao Li: I Refuse to Accept This!
After informing her second and third brother, Yuan Yindi finally went to her eldest brother Yuan Pandi’s room and told them about their plan to move to the city the next day.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Yuan Pandi was genuinely shocked hearing this from his younger brother.
Although he knew for a long time they were moving to the city after the New Year, in Yuan Pandi’s mind, Yuan Yindi would at least wait until after the lunar month.
"Is it because of the fourth sister-in-law?"
Yuan Pandi quickly understood the reason after a brief thought.
Yuan Yindi nodded and said, "It’s partially because of that, but not entirely."
"Mainly, I plan to go to the city early, have a look around and get a sense of things!"
Yuan Yindi still intended to cover for Mrs. Xiao Li, their fourth sister-in-law, after all, after they left, only Yuan Pandi, Mrs. Li, Yuan Zhaodi, and Mrs. Xiao Li would remain in Beishan Village.
"Xiao Wu, you don’t need to cover for the fourth family, I’m the eldest brother, do you think I would trouble her?"
Yuan Pandi gave his younger brother a sideways glance.
Yuan Yindi gave an awkward smile and said, "Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, after we settle in the city, find a time to send Shouxin over, let him attend school in the city!"
"Alright!"
Yuan Pandi knew well that since their father had made the decision, it couldn’t be changed.
Leaving Yuan Pandi’s room, Yuan Yindi looked at Yuan Zhaodi’s room opposite and eventually decided to go over and say a word. Despite Mrs. Xiao Li’s faults, he and Yuan Zhaodi were still brothers.
"Xiao Wu, why are you here?"
When Yuan Yindi knocked and entered Yuan Zhaodi’s room, Yuan Zhaodi was sulking with Mrs. Xiao Li. Seeing Yuan Yindi come in, his cold expression revealed a trace of awkward smile.
"Fourth brother, I’m here to tell you something!"
Yuan Yindi immediately told him about their father’s decision to move to the city the next day.
"Oh..."
Yuan Zhaodi’s expression was complicated for a moment after hearing Yuan Yindi’s words.
He knew all this was because of his wife.
However, with things at this point, even if he beat Mrs. Xiao Li, there would be no remedy.
"Fourth brother, in the future, if there’s anything you need my help with, don’t hold back. No matter what, we are brothers by blood, closer than water, bones break but the tendons are still connected!"
Yuan Yindi was also in a low mood.
Especially after thinking about how Mrs. Xiao Li had thrown blame on them; Yuan Yindi felt deeply aggrieved.
If he didn’t know her real intention, Yuan Yindi might have stubbornly insisted that Yuan Bao return to Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Xiao Li’s tactics were too clumsy.
"Xiao Wu, rest assured, if I do need your help, I will come to the city!"
Yuan Zhaodi agreed readily.
But in his heart, he didn’t think the same.
He, Yuan Zhaodi, still had his pride.
Once Yuan Yindi’s goal was reached, he took his leave to pack his things.
After Yuan Yindi left, Yuan Zhaodi glanced at Mrs. Xiao Li and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Mrs. Xiao Li hung her head in silence.
Was she satisfied?
How could she be satisfied?
She aimed to get her daughter back, to reclaim her daughter’s good fortune. But now, her scheme had failed.
"I’m not convinced!"
After a long silence, Mrs. Xiao Li suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning as she glared at Yuan Zhaodi, "Jiaojiao is clearly our child!"
"They took our Jiaojiao, how can you swallow that indignity?"
