358. Chapter 358 Aunt Qiao, I don't want to go back

"Well…"

Qiao Sheng drew out her voice and didn't go on.

Seeing her like that, Shi Lin reached out and pinched her cheek, saying, "You little brat, if you dare to spout nonsense, I'll—"

"What then?"

Qiao Sheng teased him.

Shi Lin gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait for me."

Shiqi clicked his tongue twice, looking at Shi Lin and said, "Just now who said they agreed to come, and now they're actually threatening them here…"

He really is his own brother.

Shi Lin blurted out without thinking, "Big brother, are you jealous of me? Too bad you can't envy me—my wife can hold court and manage the kitchen, she can beat up ruffians and handle bratty kids…"

Jinyue: "…"

What did she do to provoke anyone!

She secretly stepped on Shiqi's foot.

Shiqi knew his wife was angry with him.

He cleared his throat and said, "What are you so proud about? My wife's no slouch either—she bore me three kids. And you, you're already up there in age, yet you have no children—what's there to be proud of?"

"I and Qiao Sheng will eventually…"

When Shi Lin brought this up, he immediately said, "Father, Mother, I want to marry Qiao Sheng sooner."

Xie Yin and Shiyu had no objections.

Shi Lin glanced smugly at his older brother, took Qiao Sheng's hand, and walked out.

Suddenly he thought of something.

Shi Lin turned back and said, "Big brother, I won't send those two brats of yours back; you come to my separate courtyard to get them yourselves."

If he hadn't brought it up.

Shiqi almost forgot that Shi Ren and the others were still at his separate courtyard.

"Wait for me."

Shiqi got up and headed out, with Jinyue following.

Xiao Shitou and the others could barely stay in the separate courtyard; catching sight of Qiao Sheng and the others returning, they hurried over.

As the distance closed.

Shi Jin noticed Shiqi and Jinyue walking behind them, and his steps involuntarily halted.

"Father, Mother."

Shi Ren went to meet them.

"Good."

Jinyue said softly.

Not having seen them for some days, she felt her two sons had grown a bit taller and seemed more steady than before.

But.

The second son's attitude toward them now seems about the same as before.

Shiqi was about to speak about Shi Jin.

Qiao Sheng called them aside to talk.

"Big brother, big sister, Shi Jin has improved a lot compared to before. If you don't want him to revert to how he was, you should communicate with him more and trust him more."

"Qiao Sheng, it's not that we don't trust him; it's that he's always lying and doing things to piss people off."

Just talking about Shi Jin gives Shiqi a headache.

Shi Lin is young, he says he won't listen.

Hit him hard? That won't work either.

After hearing him out, Qiao Sheng said, "Shi Jin's temperament is a bit impulsive and also resistant to discipline, but his character is still good. Even if he's lied before, there was a reason. No matter what happened in the past, just remember to do as I say from now on."

Without waiting for them to say anything.

Qiao Sheng continued.

"Before coming back, Shi Jin had mentioned his sister several times. Although he never said how much he wanted to see her, I know he's definitely been wanting to see her all along."

"After returning, give Xibao to him and Shi Ren to hold."

They chatted a few more sentences.

Only then did they walk over to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin hadn't spoken to his parents in a few days, and for a moment he didn't know how to face them.

He fell silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "Aunt Qiao, I don't want to go back."

He would say that.

Qiao Sheng wasn't surprised at all, and she said gently, "Silly child, the Shi family is your home—how could you not go back? If you don't go back, and if I ever marry into your family, where would you live?" (End of chapter)
