When they arrived home, the fourth brother was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, reading a book.

Upon seeing Ye Yun, his eyes lit up instantly, and he and Meiqiu excitedly rushed over: "Sister-in-law, is there any news about the enemy?"

Ye Yun: Yes.

"What's going on?"

"We came to toast you, but we didn't see you, so we left disappointed."

"Great!" The fourth brother clapped his hands in relief and said happily, "Now I should be safe. I can raise pigs without worry!"

Ye Yun: "..."

Why is this kid even thinking about raising pigs?

Qin Zheng also heard this and gave him an unpleasant look. "Have you contacted your teacher? When are you going back to the city?"

"Uh..." The fourth brother scratched the back of his head and said, "I forgot."

Forgot?

Qin Zheng was furious and scoffed, "Well said."

The fourth brother felt the pressure from his cousin, scratched the back of his head guiltily, and ran to the kitchen to get rice.

The rice was already cooked in the pot, and Qin Xiang'e also packed up the leftovers from the banquet.

During the meal, Lao Si didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid of angering Qin Zheng. He barely ate a few bites before putting down his food and hurriedly riding his old bicycle to the brigade to call his teacher.

Ye Yun couldn't help but chide him lightly, "You're being a little too harsh on the fourth brother."

Is that considered fierce?

Qin Zheng snorted, "His mind is full of pig farming right now. If I don't be fierce, will he listen to anything?"

Ye Yun: "..."

You're fierce enough, so you call the shots.

After the group finished eating, Qin Xiang'e got up to wash the dishes, and Ye Yun took out her toothbrush from the house, intending to brush her teeth, when suddenly Erdanzi's hurried shouts came from down the slope—

"Brother Zheng! Something's happened!"

"The fourth brother has fallen into the river!"
