After Ye Zhaoyu finished dealing with everything, she took a few clothes and went home to her family compound to wait for Qin Zichuan to return.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm back. This is a little gift for you." Ye Zhaoyu took out a pair of small earrings and gave them to Nuan Nuan.

"So beautiful, thank you, Little Fish." Wen Nuan happily accepted the earrings from Ye Zhaoyu. They were a pair of small red diamond earrings, very eye-catching.

The diamond wasn't big, and it only cost a few dollars to buy, but the design was really beautiful.

"Don't mention it. You've treated me to so many meals. I'm just returning the favor with a small gift. I can't cook, so I can only give you some things."

Ye Zhaoyu said shyly.

“What’s the big deal? Our husbands are brothers and we’re both military wives. We help each other with meals. Besides, you don’t know how hard it is to cook for two people. If you come and eat with us, we can make an extra dish.”

Warmth didn't take it to heart.

"Okay, I just consider you a friend, so when I saw these earrings, I thought they suited you perfectly. You have fair skin, and they look great on you."

Gu Yan also went on a mission, and neither of their husbands returned.

Ye Zhaoyu stayed at Wen Nuan's house and chatted with her in bed at night.

After learning that Wen Nuan had also been admitted to Peking University, they were even more excited about recognizing each other and thinking about being able to go to and from school together. The only downside was that their majors were different.

The next morning, the two were awakened by the noise outside.

"Who is it? Disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning."

Wen Nuan chatted with Ye Zhaoyu until very late last night before going to sleep. She was woken up after only two hours of sleep and her voice was full of resentment. She wanted to drag the person out and beat them up.

"Excuse me, is this Huo Yan's home?" Huo Jian'an pushed Old Master Huo over.

Later, because Li Yaping wanted Huo Jian'an to find a wife quickly, she drugged the woman and Huo Jian'an, and they slept together on their first day of meeting.

It wasn't until the second day that they discovered the girl's family was greedy. In order to marry the girl, they skipped the dinner party, Huo Jianan had affairs, and gave her 2,000 yuan as a bride price.

This action angered Mr. Huo to the point of almost having a stroke.

He can only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed around occasionally; he usually stays at home.

"This is Huo Yan's house. May I ask what business you have with him?" Wen Nuan asked Huo Jian'an.

"That's right, he is the child our Huo family lost, and we have come here to reunite him."

Huo Jianan has a very safe-looking face, giving people a very honest impression.

Wen Nuan stared at Huo Jian'an for a long time, wanting to know if what he said was true or false.

Seeing the sincerity in this person's eyes, I could only say, "I am just a woman. Huo Yan didn't tell me about this. I can't make the decision for him. Why don't you come over again after he returns from his mission and explain it to him in person?"

Wen Nuan and Huo Yan were from the same village; she was pitiful, and so was Huo Yan.

Huo Yan grew up being bullied by his parents, siblings, and friends. It was common for him to work at home, and after work, he had to do laundry for the family. He was also responsible for taking care of the family's chickens and vegetable garden.

From age 7 to 16, I endured such a life for a full 9 years. Including the previous 4 years, I had to gather a basket of pig feed every day. It can be said that I suffered for 13 years. Only after joining the army did life become better.

Now that he's risen to the rank of deputy battalion commander, his biological parents have finally come forward to say that they are Huo Yan's biological parents.

How can anyone forgive this?

Ye Zhaoyu did not come out. The window in the room was opened a crack, and the sounds from outside could be clearly heard.

"Do you know when Huo Yan will be back?" Huo Jian'an asked.

"Look at you in your military uniform, how can you be so brainless as to ask such a stupid question? Don't you know that family members can't ask about these things?"

Wen Nuan felt that the person in front of her only had an honest face and no brains.

Cough cough cough...

Mr. Huo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, coughed for a while, and Huo Jian'an quickly patted his back to help him.

Grandpa Huo pointed at Wen Nuan, speechless, his eyes filled with anger.

The warmth came out of nowhere.

Seeing that the old man had stopped coughing, Huo Jianan said to Wen Nuan, "I'm sorry, I forgot. The family members don't know about these things. I'll come back to check on him in a few days."

Although Huo Jian'an said this, he was already thinking about who could help him find out when Huo Yan would return from his mission.

"Okay, take care, don't bother seeing me out." Wen Nuan said, then turned and went back to her room to continue sleeping.

"How rude! No wonder they're from the countryside," Li Yaping muttered.

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Huo Jianan immediately warned Li Yaping that there had been many things going on at home lately, and she was constantly being talked about by others, so she couldn't say less.

“I didn’t say anything wrong. They know we are the husband’s family, and they won’t let me in. They even sent us off without any courtesy. They’re just ignorant country bumpkins.”

Grandpa Huo also tapped the wheelchair twice, as if agreeing with what Li Yaping said.

“They haven’t even acknowledged the person yet, so what kind of in-laws are they?” Huo Jianan retorted.

It would be best if he didn't acknowledge it, then all of the Huo family's resources would be his. If Huo Yan returned, he would be the most outstanding person among the younger generation.

Resources need to be redistributed.

Wen Nuan returned to the room and saw that Ye Zhaoyu had also woken up. "Did I wake you up?"

"It's okay, I can go back to sleep." Ye Zhaoyu didn't ask anything else; it was a family matter, and she would listen if others wanted to talk about it.

Nuannuan climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to catch up on her sleep.

The two slept until after 4 p.m., when they woke up because they were hungry.

When it got warmer, Ye Zhaoyu got up to help with cooking, and I just peeled two cloves of garlic.
