"Big Sister, should we tell Big Brother about this?"
Zhao Xiaonian shook her head. "No way. What if Big Brother gets angry? What if they get divorced? Do you want Song Ping's mother to be our sister-in-law?"
"I certainly don't!" Xiaodou was so scared she almost cried.
"We need to tell our sister-in-law quietly and let her decide."
Heart for heart, because Lu Yao was good to the two children, they also thought of him and didn't want to lose their sister-in-law.
When they got home, Lu Yao was making soy milk.
"Go wash your hands; your sister-in-law will give you some soy milk to drink."
The two children sat silently by the stove after washing their hands, their minds preoccupied with what had happened, even the sweet soy milk tasted bland.
"Sister-in-law... I have something to tell you," Zhao Xiaonian said hesitantly.
"What is it?" Lu Yao wiped his hands, hung up the clean tofu cloth, and started filtering the soy milk.
"Xiaodou and I were catching earthworms by the river when we met someone..."
"Who?" Zhao Beichuan walked in just then, scaring Zhao Xiaonian into changing her words: "No one, no one. We met Tian Dazhuang!"
Beside her, Zhao Xiaodou nodded in agreement. "Brother Dazhuang had a bamboo toy, which he lent to me and Big Sister." Afraid Zhao Beichuan wouldn't believe them, she took out the bamboo toy from her pocket to show them.
Lu Yao couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, so you've made up with him?"
"Sort of, but I'm still mad at him."
"It's not a big deal. He cursed at you, but you hit him back. Since Dazhuang came to play with you, he clearly doesn't hold a grudge. You shouldn't worry too much."
Zhao Beichuan added, "Listen to your sister-in-law and play nicely. Don't fight all the time."
"Okay."
Soon, Zhao Beichuan left, leaving the three of them alone again.
Zhao Xiaonian finally couldn't hold back. "Sister-in-law, the person we met wasn't Tian Dazhuang, it was Song Ping's mother!"
Lu Yao paused, knowing that whenever Song Widow was involved, nothing good would follow.
"What happened with her?"
Zhao Xiaonian blushed slightly. "We saw her talking with Song Ping's uncle, and they said many bad things about you!"
The two children then recounted what had happened, and Lu Yao's face grew darker with each word.
"Besides the two of you, who else knows about this?"
Xiaodou replied, "Brother Dazhuang knows, but he promised Big Sister not to tell anyone, not even his mother."
Lu Yao clenched his teeth, cursing Song Widow's ancestors under his breath.
"Don't tell anyone else about this."
"No, we haven't told anyone except you, not even Big Brother."
Lu Yao patted the two children on the head. "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will figure something out."
In ancient times, reputation mattered greatly. If this news spread, it would affect not only Lu Yao but also Zhao Xiaonian and Zhao Xiaodou, as well as his two unmarried sisters.
