Chapter 303 Virtuous and Wise
He Xiaolong's brilliant move delighted the three, no, the four people present.
He Lin's dissatisfaction with Chen Ting stemmed from Chen Ting's unwillingness to take care of the child. Chen Ying, on the other hand, seemed quite enthusiastic about the child, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to take care of the child in her place.
Chen Ting thought, "Let's change it, as long as it's not her who becomes the stepmother."
Chen Ying felt that her dream had come true! A car and a big house were right in front of her, within easy reach.
He Xiaolong was thinking that he didn't want this bad woman to be his stepmother. If he had someone else, he wouldn't have to worry about being thrown out. Besides, this aunt was better than that bad woman; she even gave him candy.
The little boy's words silenced the three adults.
He Lin spoke first, "Xiao Long, don't talk nonsense."
However, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Ying, whose face was full of joy.
Seeing He Lin looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Chen Ting, of course, also saw the two's little interaction, but she was happy about it now, as she was about to get rid of He Lin.
However, fearing the matter might not be safe, she planned to add fuel to the fire.
"What are you saying, kid? I'm your future mother! You're letting another woman be your mother? Humph, once I'm married into the family, I'll send you away first!" Chen Ting said to He Xiaolong, pretending to be fierce.
"Chen Ting, how could you have such an attitude!"
Seeing that He Xiaolong was about to cry again, He Lin quickly went to comfort his son.
This time, Chen Ying also joined in. She picked up He Xiaolong directly, leaving He Lin's hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air.
"Oh, don't cry, Xiaolong. Auntie was just joking with you. You're such a good boy, Auntie wouldn't bear to abandon you!"
Since his mother ran away, it had been a long time since anyone had held and comforted He Xiaolong like this.
Chen Ying's hug showed that she had him completely under her control.
"Daddy, I want this auntie to be my mom, not that bad woman!"
He Xiaolong gripped Chen Ying's clothes tightly and shouted at He Lin.
"Xiaolong, get down here, you don't understand this!" He Lin awkwardly tried to take his son away to stop him from talking nonsense, but his eldest son grabbed Chen Ying's clothes and wouldn't let go.
He Lin appeared dissatisfied, but in reality, he was extremely pleased.
He had never paid attention to his cousin Chen Ting before, but now that he saw her dressed in clean and tidy clothes and had a strange braid, although she wasn't as pretty as Chen Ting, she was still youthful and beautiful. Moreover, she was so skilled at coaxing children, and she was gentle and patient.
Aside from not having the same level of education as Chen Ting, He Lin is now very satisfied with Chen Ying.
What's more, the other person was stealing glances at him with a shy and timid look; what man wouldn't be confused?
Chen Ting didn't want to watch the two of them exchanging glances; she wasn't willing to be a part of their game.
"Fine, so that explains why you're unhappy about everything. Turns out you've been having an affair with my cousin all along, He Lin. I really misjudged you!"
"Chen Ting, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do it!" He Lin didn't want to admit to this.
"That's right, cousin. I just happened to run into you guys. I saw the child crying pitifully, so I came over to comfort him!" Chen Ying wanted to win He Lin's favor, so of course she had to distance herself from the situation.
Pshaw, she thinks she can't see through it? Chen Ting just doesn't want to expose her.
However, she was quick to retort: "Then why does your son insist on having my cousin as his mother? Let me tell you, you must send all your children away, or else I won't marry you!"
After making those harsh words, Chen Ting left, leaving the two people and a child standing there.
"Brother He, I guess my cousin is just saying things because she's in a bad mood. Please don't take it seriously!"
In her heart, she was praying to the gods: Please, please, please take it seriously and get rid of that woman!
He Lin suspected that Chen Ting might be trying to back out of the marriage and was saying this on purpose.
But seeing how much the other person disliked the child, he became uncertain. His own child was more important than Chen Ting's, and he dared not gamble with it.
If he marries her and Chen Ting takes the child away while he's at work, he won't even have time to cry.
The reason He Lin values these children so much is because he harbors a big secret.
He can no longer have children!
Shortly after having his youngest son, he was injured in an accident at the factory, and the doctor said that his chances of having children in the future were very slim.
Since he already has three children, He Lin doesn't care whether he can have more or not. Besides, the factory said they would compensate him for this certification exam.
That's why Chen Ting always wanted children in her past life, which is why He Lin used psychological manipulation to tell her that having three children would be enough, and that they would take good care of her.
It's really just a cover-up for her infertility!
I wonder if He Lin's ex-wife ran away with someone else because she discovered this secret.
Thinking of this, He Lin's attitude towards Chen Ying improved even more. After all, if he didn't marry Chen Ting, Chen Ying was a good alternative for him.
"Yingzi, I know. Your cousin probably still thinks my family is poor, which is understandable!" He Lin feigned distress.
“How could that be! Brother He, you are a handsome and talented man with a good job!” Chen Ying quickly defended him.
“But I’m divorced and have three children! Sigh!” He Lin probed Chen Ying to see if she really didn’t mind that he had children.
"Kids are so wonderful! Look how cute Xiaolong is! I love kids! I raised all my younger siblings!" Chen Ying understood what the other person meant, and she quickly highlighted her advantages.
Unlike Chen Ting, who looked down on her stepson and stepdaughter, she knew the future of these children and believed their potential was limitless.
If you put in a little effort to take care of them, they'll be the ones taking care of you in the future!
He Lin was very satisfied with what he heard. Having taken care of his younger siblings, he would have no problem taking care of children.
Then Chen Ying offered to take them back, and He Lin readily agreed. He wanted to change partners, and he needed to let his mother take a look.
Chen Ying's arrival left He Lin's mother somewhat bewildered, but she pretended to be very welcoming.
Chen Ying also seized the opportunity to express her gratitude, not only helping to tidy up He Lin's house, but also cooking a whole table of dishes.
He Lin was satisfied with his newly renovated home, and so was his mother; this girl seemed easier to manage.
"Oh, Yingzi, you're so capable! Auntie really likes you. I wish you could be with Linzi!"
After working so hard for so long, Chen Ying was finally able to get her future mother-in-law's approval, and she was extremely excited!
She wished she could clean He Lin's house again to show how capable and virtuous she was!
