Arrived home at 10:45

  Settle down near Fahua Temple and teach your brother well. Can't let him keep playing like this, otherwise, he'll end up like his past life, a prodigal son who brings down the family.

  It was late in the evening when I arrived in Hangzhou. Fortunately, I arrived safely in Hangzhou.

  Arrived in Hangzhou, naturally followed second uncle and them back to paternal grandfather's home.

  As she approached her hometown, Xie Wenjing discovered her mother's excitement and anxiety. Her heart couldn't help but feel happy for her mother too.

  It's been many years since grandma fell ill and passed away, and then dad got sick. Mom hasn't returned to her hometown for a very long time.

  This home of mine, I was very familiar with it in my past life, and often came here. Not only are there relatives of mine on this side, but also a large amount of assets that originally belonged to me, which were meant to be left to Wenbao, but later fell into the hands of that old woman.

  This life will no longer have its own enormous wealth, only its own loved ones.

  "Juan'er, we're home!" Big Uncle said with a silly grin to Xie Wenjing's mother.

  Du Juan, who was just getting off the boat with Xie Chengyu's support, suddenly burst into tears upon hearing this.

  Yes! I'm home! Finally home! Dad! Mom! Daughter is back home! Waaahhh...

  The cuckoo's emotions are hard to control, standing on the Hangzhou dock, she covers her face and weeps, her soft shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

  Unaware of her mother-in-law's malice, she attended to her husband who was on the brink of life and death. Some people were just exhausted, but she didn't mind the hardship and exhaustion as long as her husband could recover; no matter how hard it got, she wasn't afraid.

  But when one knows that Xie's mother is vicious, some are just endlessly afraid. Afraid that she will harm her whole family at any time and in any place.

  Returning to Hangzhou, Dujuan felt the dark cloud that had been weighing on her head was gone. Her parents were waiting for her at home. This was where she truly belonged, a place where her loved ones truly cared for her.

  "Juan'er, don't cry, Father and Mother have seen it, it's what they should be sad about. Go back and smile when you see Father and Mother." The elder sister came over to wipe away her younger sister's tears while comforting her.

  "Yes, sister-in-law is right, we should be smiling, we're home! Father and mother don't know we're back yet, they'll definitely be very surprised to see us! Don't cry, or father and mother will think I've bullied you!"

  Xie Chengyu gently comforted his wife. In his heart, he couldn't help but want to cry. For him, leaving the Xie family was not abandoning his home, but escaping to a better place.

  I was lucky enough to escape the difficulties, not only because I have a thoughtful daughter, but also because of the full support from my elder brother-in-law and my wife who never gave up on me.

  "Dad, mom, hurry up! Eldest brother said that Hangzhou's lion's head is the most delicious and he wants to treat me to it!"

  Xie Wenbao couldn't wait to jump off the boat and ran out of the dock, fortunately, his two elder cousins followed him.

  Xie Wenjing smiled. This younger brother looked even more mischievous, but he knew his parents were behind him and could turn around to urge them on, which was much better than not having parents at all.

  The girl stopped crying when Wen Bao shouted at her like this.

  "Du's mother, after we arrive at our grandfather's house, we might neglect to take care of Liu Lingling. During the time in Du's family, you brought Mei Lan Zhi Hua and kept a close eye on Liu Lingling, every night, she slept alone in a room with the door locked from the outside."

  "During the day, I'll keep an eye on her and make her do embroidery for me. She's not allowed to move around the Du household or get close to any of the Du children, including my younger brother. Take everything from her that can be exchanged for money and tell her that after a few months, if she behaves well, not only will I return everything to her, but I'll also give her freedom."

  Xie Wenjing instructed Du's mother. Although Liu Lingling was well-behaved on the boat, that was because she had nowhere to go, unless she jumped into the river.

  But on land it's different, whether she will be obedient or not, don't need to think about it, just watch her for a few months.

  For these few months, let her continuously write back to that old woman and tell her that our family's prayers at Fahua Temple were very effective. After a few months, we won't need her anymore.

  Third Uncle and Third Aunt stood on the dock in Hangzhou with their son and daughter, watching Eldest Sister-in-law sob excitedly, a mix of emotions swirling inside them.

  For Big Brother and Sister-in-law, these two years have been like a nightmare. Now that they've left, Big Brother is much better, he can even walk down to the dock by himself, and comfort his excitedly crying sister-in-law.

  Looking back at the two children by his side, his son Wenfeng was ten years old and his daughter Wenting was only nine years old. If that old woman had any intention of harming him and his wife, what ability did they have to resist such a hypocritical and vicious stepmother?

  Big brother and sister-in-law have a solid backing in Hangzhou, but can he rely on his wife's lofty Yuan family?

  They, the Yuan family, have now produced a successful candidate in the imperial examination and become an official in the capital. It is said that he is a sixth-rank inspector, and the Yuan family is so proud of him. In their eyes, what value can this son-in-law of the Xie family, who has been unable to pass the provincial exam for many years, possibly have?

  The year before last, the Yuan family moved to the northern imperial capital, leaving behind only those who were not part of the three generations of the Yuan family. Can these people be considered as having a relationship with oneself?

  At the thought of this, San Shu's heart tightened. He hated that his own talent was too poor, after all these years, he was still just a Xiucai, no wonder the Yuan family looked down on him, and also looked down on his wife, causing his wife to not even dare return to her natal home.

  Thinking of this, San Shu couldn't help but look at his wife with guilt, following him, a man without prospects, had made her suffer. His elder sister suffered, but she still had her natal family to rely on; his wife suffered, who could she rely on?

  Third Aunt Yuan Lihong saw the man's guilty gaze and her heart was filled with bitterness.

  Big brother and sister-in-law have suffered to the end, and there are still relatives in Hangzhou to rely on. But this family will eventually have to return to the hands of that vicious stepmother, whether they live or die depends on the thoughts of that vicious woman. And their own maternal home is far away, who can save their family at that time?

  "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, after arriving in Hangzhou, our whole family will first bother my maternal grandfather for two days, then we still need to buy a farmhouse around Fahua Temple to settle down."

  Firstly, we originally came to pray for blessings. Secondly, the surroundings of Fahua Temple are quiet and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle, which is suitable for father to recuperate his body, and also suitable for Third Uncle to bring Wenfeng brother to study.

  I'll go buy a yard tomorrow. At that time, Third Uncle, would you like to come with me and choose a bigger one that's enough for both our families to live in?

  Xie Wenjing saw that San Shu and San Shu's eyes seemed to be somewhat sad, and she thought sensitively that since San Shu and San Shu lived in her paternal grandfather's house, they were not comfortable in their hearts, but if they went back home, they couldn't either.

  When I was on the boat, I mentioned it myself and was immediately rejected by my uncle and aunt, who insisted that they would arrange for me to live with their family. At that time, my third uncle and third aunt seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves.

  At that time, I had made up my mind. Although Grandfather's family would not let Father and Mother go, they were even more enthusiastic about inviting Third Aunt and Third Uncle to stay. But no matter who it was, as long as they felt uneasy in their hearts, no matter how good the food and accommodation were, they would feel uncomfortable all over. It's better to buy a farmhouse for our own family early and settle down.

  "What about your big uncle?"

  Third Uncle was somewhat uncertain, but in his heart he was extremely pleased.

  "Let's secretly buy it first and then persuade Big Uncle and them, without telling them for the time being, okay?"

  Xie Wenjing leaned in close to San Shu's ear with a hint of playfulness.

  Third Uncle smiled and his heart suddenly felt much more at ease: "Tomorrow Third Uncle will take you to secretly buy a farmhouse?"

  Third Uncle also learned from Xie Wenjing's mannerisms and leaned in close to her ear, whispering quietly.

  "What are you whispering about that I'm not allowed to hear?" Third Aunt smiled and came over to pull Xie Wenjing's arm.

  "Hehe, it's a secret! Uncle San and Auntie San, I'll go first!" Xie Wenjing smiled and ran to the front of her parents' side. At this time, her eldest uncle's servant had already arranged for the horse-drawn carriage, and the group of people carrying their luggage got on several carriages and headed towards the Du family in Hangzhou.

  Seeing her grandparents again, not only did Niang cry uncontrollably, but also Xie Wenjing couldn't help but shed tears.
