Chapter 4
He Jing greeted him obediently, “Hello, Second Brother.”
He Ning snorted coldly and turned his head away. He looked at her coldly and didn’t care about her.
He Jing then looked at the boy standing next to He Ning. He had an expression that of “I’m the most arrogant, I’m the most rebellious.” He looked very unruly.
The eldest brother, He Yuan, introduced, “This is the fourth brother. His name is He Sui. The third brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother have gone to visit my Aunty.”
He Jing revealed a sweet smile. “Hello, Fourth Brother.”
He Sui rolled his eyes and snorted.
The youngest, He Xiaoguo, who was also her younger brother, did not need any introduction at all because he himself took a timid step forward. His eyes were filled with desire. “New…Hello, new sister.”
He Jing was pleasantly surprised. She didn’t expect He Xiaoguo to be the most likable among her brothers.
She crouched down and looked at the little boy in front of her. She smiled and said, “Hello, Xiaoguo.”
As if he had seen a human trafficker, Fourth Brother immediately pulled He Xiaoguo behind him.
In the end, He Jing turned to her silent father and mother, went over, and gave them a big hug as she called out, “Dad, Mom.”
Tears welled up in her father’s and mother’s eyes.
They had originally thought that their daughter, who had lived in a wealthy family, would not want to acknowledge them. They did not expect her to really come back and be willing to live a hard life with them.
They hurriedly called their eldest son, He Yuan, to bring He Jing to rest. He Yuan did as he was told and brought He Jing to Cheng Yi’s room.
Although the He family was poor, it seemed that they did not mistreat their only daughter because there were only two rooms in total. Cheng Yi occupied one room alone, and the other room was squeezed by seven brothers. Surprisingly, her father and mother actually slept in the living room.
This was completely different from what He Jing had imagined.
The book had vividly described her father and mother forced Cheng Yi to drop out of school and work to support her seven brothers’ education. When she first transmigrated, Ye Shuping said the same thing. But if the He family really favored boys over girls, would they give Cheng Yi such a precious room all to herself?
It was obviously impossible.
Moreover, Cheng Yi’s belongings had not been taken away. There was a pile of bottles and cans of skincare products on the messy dressing table. These skincare products were all cheap and unknown brands, but they were undoubtedly a considerable burden for the poor He family.
After taking in all of this, He Jing had a feeling in her heart. He Yuan then said, “The He family can’t compare to the Cheng family. The rooms are small and run-down. You’ll have to manage with what you have. If there are any conflicts in our living habits, we can adapt to you and make corresponding adjustments.”
“Even though there are many men in the family, we won’t casually enter your room. We’ll also be careful not to disturb you when you’re showering. Usually, Xiao Yi’s shower time is between 8 pm to 9 pm. We’ll stay in the room to study and won’t come out.”
Because the house was too small, the overall sound insulation was poor. The movements in the bathroom could be heard clearly in the living room.
He Jing could already imagine how hard they had tried to restrain themselves in order to take care of Cheng Yi.
He Yuan continued, “The few of us and Xiaoguo all take about 15 minutes to shower and wash up. Dad and Mom have formed a habit of showering as soon as they get off work. The bathroom from seven to eight o’clock is theirs. This can’t be changed. Do you think you can accept it?”
He Jing said calmly, “Yes. Big Brother, if you don’t mind, send me a copy of the family schedule. I’ll follow it from now on.”
He Yuan glanced at her and frowned slightly. “Have you really decided to stay in the He family?”
He wondered if she might change her mind and run back to the Cheng family.
He Jing laughed. “Of course. My surname is He, not Cheng. I hope Big Brother will truly treat me as a younger sister in the future.”
