n“I stayed behind to accompany Xue Ling. I only rested in an inn in town for a night, but Xue Ling took everything from me while I slept and ran away alone. She even checked out my room,” Qian Yiyun explained with reddened eyes.

n

nShe had to look a bit more pitiful to convince An Jiuyue to let her stay.

n

n“Sister Jiuyue, I don’t have anything now. I haven’t eaten anything today either. I’m so hungry! Sister Jiuyue, can I stay at your house?”

n

nAn Jiuyue was silent.

n

nIs Xue Ling crazy? I thought she likes Qian Jiyun? How can she treat his younger sister like that?

n

n“Why did she do that? She must have some reason, right?”

n

nQian Yiyun replied, “I think she wanted Big Brother to stay last night to do something shameful. I said some things to her and told Big Brother to leave first.”

n

nShe had thought about many things on the way. The more she thought about it, the more she believed that Xue Ling was vicious for trying to kill her.

n

nShe was penniless! How was she supposed to survive in that place after the flood? She could be knocked out and trafficked.

n

nIn that case, Xue Ling could say whatever she wanted to her brother. There would be no evidence to prove otherwise.

n

n“Sister Jiuyue, my brother has left. I don’t have anything, and I don’t know when he’ll send someone to fetch me. I’ve thought about it again and again. I can only come to your house. Sister Jiuyue, you won’t chase me out, right?” She pouted, looking pitiful.

n

nAn Jiuyue raised her hand and facepalmed, speechless.

n

nWhat is going on? I don’t want to live under the same roof as Qian Yiyun.

n

nShe was still rejoicing that she had finally gotten rid of the Qian family. However, Xue Ling messed around and sent Qian Yiyun back to her.

n

nShe could not chase her away now. She was a kind person and could not allow a young, penniless lady to wander alone.

n

n“I’ll boil a pot of warm water for you. Take a shower first. Let’s talk about the rest later,” she said.

n

nQian Yiyun’s eyes lit up.

n

nShe means that I can stay, right?

n

n…

n

nAfter a while, Qian Yiyun was chased to the shower.

n

n“Mother, is that auntie staying with us?” Rong’er asked softly.

n

n“Yes,” An Jiuyue replied helplessly, “She’ll stay here for a few days. She’ll leave when Uncle Qian comes to pick her up.”

n

n“Will she help us take care of Xiao Zhou and Xiao Xing?” Zheng’er asked.

n

nThe boys and their mother had named the two babies Xiao Zhou and Xiao Xing.

n

nQian Yiyun had told him that she would help to take care of Xiao Zhou and Xiao Xing while staying here as payment for her meals.

n

nAn Jiuyue nodded and replied, “She will.”

n

nBesides taking care of the two children, Qian Yiyun could not do anything else.

n

n“Watch over your brothers. I will cook now.”

n

nShe rose to her feet and headed to the kitchen.

n

nSince Qian Yiyun was here, she could not retrieve all the food from her space. She had to store some food in the kitchen to prevent any suspicion.

n

nHowever, it seemed like she had made the right decision previously.
