After Lan Guangxue finished eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "I think going to the Jiang family is a good idea. Lan Yin wants to kill me and the children. If she finds out that we are not dead, she may still try to harm us. It is safer to stay in the military compound. Even if she finds out, she will not be able to get in."

Just as Xiao Moran was about to say that he would find someone to protect everyone for twenty hours, Su Xiaonuan spoke first. "Okay, you can go stay at Jiang Yi's house for a while. We all have to cooperate and act. Starting tomorrow, we also have to stay at home and pretend to be in great pain."

Xiao Moran dared not refute Su Xiaonuan's words. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only agree to let Jiang Yi take them all away.

As soon as we got in the car, Guoguo exclaimed, "No, we have to take the white mouse with us!"

"What do you need those damned white mice for?" Ye Mei said. "It was them who almost got you burned to death."

"Grandma, it's not the mice's fault. It's just that bad people took advantage of the mice. We can't blame the mice. They are really cute."

Zhang Yulan hurriedly went into the house and brought the white mouse over. She had already found a cage to put the mouse in; the cage she had brought from the countryside to catch live animals came in handy.

The children cheered when the white mouse was brought in.

"Shh." Su Xiaonuan made a shushing gesture. "You can't shout like that. Before you leave the neighborhood, all of you kids have to keep your heads down so that no one in the neighborhood can see you, understand?"

"Okay," the children said in unison.

After watching Jiang Yi's car drive away, everyone rubbed their stomachs, which were growling with hunger, and cried out that they were starving. They then rushed into the house and devoured all the food they hadn't finished eating.

That wasn't enough, so Aunt Chen went to make herself a bowl of egg noodles.

Just after they finished eating, Zhong Ling, Xiao Hong, and Tie Zhu returned.

"Why are you so late today?" Ye Mei asked them, thinking to herself, "It's a good thing we got back late, otherwise Tie Zhu would have been heartbroken along with them."

"Business is booming. We were about to close when several more groups of people came in wanting to eat. We couldn't just turn them away, so we had to keep them entertained," Xiaohong said, yawning. "I'm so sleepy, I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"You're all off tomorrow. Sleep in until noon." Xiao Nuan looked at them happily. "Go take a shower and go to bed. I'll wake you up for lunch. If you work overtime in the future, you can make it up the next day. Sleep is very important."

“That won’t do. The shifts are all arranged, we need to get to the store early.” Tie Zhu is very responsible and never takes his work lightly.

"It's alright, I'll send someone from the factory to cover your shifts," Xiao Moran said with a smile. "Nothing is more important than work. From now on, if you're tired, you can rest anytime without having your wages deducted."

"Wow, the boss is so nice!" Xiao Hong and Zhong Ling clapped their hands.

"Am I not good enough?" Su Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Moran. "I'm the one who pays your salaries."

"What happened to you all?" Tie Zhu noticed the problem. Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong were still basking in the joy of being able to rest without having their wages deducted. They were both in relationships and definitely needed this kind of benefit.

"Oh, what's wrong with you all?" Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong exclaimed in surprise.

"This is what happened after the incestuous affair." Su Xiaonuan beckoned to them and told them what had happened at home. She also told Tiezhu not to go to work tomorrow, as his younger brother had died and going to work would arouse suspicion.

The sound made their hearts pound. It turned out that so many things had happened at home that day. If they hadn't received the news beforehand, the fire would have burned several lovely children to death. Lan Yin, that wicked woman, was truly despicable!

In the dead of night, Su Xiaonuan nestled in Xiao Moran's arms. Although she was very tired, she was not sleepy at all. "Moran, if I didn't have the children, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live. Fortunately, the children have been found again."

"Hmm." Xiao Moran turned her head up. "Sit still, I'll go get the first-aid kit to bandage your fingers. Look at all ten of your fingers, they're all torn and bleeding, and your nails are all gone. You don't feel pain, but it hurts to see you like this."

Xiao Moran brought over a first-aid kit and first disinfected her ten fingers. As soon as the disinfectant touched her skin, she cried out, "Ah, it hurts!"

"Now you know what pain is?" Xiao Moran grabbed her withdrawing hand. "The way you were frantically flailing around before, you wouldn't have felt any pain even if I chopped off your hands. You really don't cherish yourself at all. If anything happened to you, how would I live?"

"Just marry another one."

Xiao Moran took her hand and disinfected each of her fingers one by one, as if he were angry with her. "You're still in the mood to joke at a time like this."

"Ouch! Can't you be gentler?" she cried out, wincing in pain.

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense." His movements immediately slowed down, and he kept blowing on her ten fingers to dry them. After drying them, he applied ointment and bandaged each finger.

She held up her ten fingers, all wrapped in bandages. "How am I supposed to sleep with my fingers wrapped up like this?"

“Sleeping is about sleeping with your body, not your fingers.” He picked her up and laid her down on the bed, then covered her with a blanket. “These next few days, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay home and rest to recover. Don’t let your hands get wet.”

“My hand is injured, but my foot is fine. I have to go and help them find that money.” She kicked off the blanket and sat up.

"There are so many people looking for it, you don't need to worry about it."

"So many people have searched, but they still haven't found it, have they?"

“Then I’ll stay home and stay with you, I won’t go anywhere.” Xiao Moran sat down next to her. “Perfect timing. I was thinking of having you transfer all your business. After this experience, I feel that we can’t just focus on business, we have to take care of the family too. From now on, we’ll take turns watching the children 24 hours a day, and we can’t let them out of our sight.”

“Yes?” Su Xiaonuan said with deep feeling. “I’m scared too. I used to think that career was very important, but now I feel that if we don’t have our children, no matter how brilliant our career is, it’s all empty. Our children are the driving force for our struggle. Without them, we are just walking corpses. I never want to go through this kind of pain again.”

"Honey, do you agree to give up your career and return to the family to be a wife and mother?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go to the newspaper tomorrow to place a transfer advertisement." She nodded resolutely.

"Wife, I'm so happy." Xiao Moran put his hands on her shoulders. "From now on, every penny I earn will be yours. How about you, my financial wife, pay my salary?"

Meeting his burning, excited gaze, she trembled slightly. Seeing his happy expression, her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears, and her heart warmed. With a smile, she nodded. Even if she had to give up her entire career for him and the children, she would be willing.
