Zheng Xujie didn't understand the meaning behind Huo Haoshen's words, but Zheng Xuyang and Uncle Zhang did. It seemed that the Huo family or the Ruan family should be the main family, and the two of them had made up their minds.

"Now that we are siblings, keep this jade pendant close to your body. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask the army for help."

This jade pendant was made for Ruan Ruan by her father after she returned to the Ruan family. He told her to keep it close to her body, saying that she might need it someday. All the younger members of the Ruan family have one.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Upon hearing that he could seek help from the military, even the most ignorant Zheng Xujie knew the importance of the jade pendant and knew he absolutely could not accept it.

When Zhang Yong heard about the military, he redefined Ruan Ruan's identity. Someone who could casually produce such a fine jade pendant and was also associated with the military must have an extraordinary background.

On the other hand, Zheng Xuyang had probably already guessed Ruan Ruan's identity. There had been rumors that a high-ranking official in the capital had found his daughter, and that the girl had been raised in the countryside since she was a child. Even though she had now reunited with her biological parents, she insisted on marrying her childhood fiancé.

When he first heard about it, he wondered what kind of girl had such courage. Now, seeing the woman in front of him, he was moved. Looking at the man beside her, he thought that if he had the choice, he would also marry her without hesitation.

From the moment he saw Ruan Ruan take out the jade pendant, Huo Haocheng had a different thought in his mind, but he did not stop her. He knew that Ruan Ruan had her own plans, but thinking that his sister had never given him anything so far, Huo Haocheng felt a pang of jealousy.

In contrast, Huo Haoshen seemed completely unaffected. Logically speaking, Ruan Ruan was his biological sister on his household registration, but he didn't feel jealous at all. Instead, he watched with a smile, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth between his older brother and Zheng Xujie.

"Take it if you want, otherwise you can throw it away."

Ruan Ruan disliked nothing more than being passed around after giving something away, which annoyed her, so she threw the jade pendant back into Zheng Xujie's arms, looking rather annoyed.

Seeing Ruan Ruan's actions, Zheng Xujie held the jade pendant, feeling like it was a hot potato. He didn't know whether to keep it or return it. He looked at this and then at that, finally turning his pleading gaze to Huo Haocheng.

"If your sister gives it to you, just accept it."

Although Huo Haocheng was still jealous, he knew the importance and urgency of the matter, and he believed that Ruan Ruan had her reasons for doing so.

Finally, Zheng Xujie turned to look at his brother again.

"Take it."

"Thank you, Miss Ruan."

Zheng Xuyang simply thanked Ruan Ruan, promising to repay her in the future.

"Thank you, sister."

Seeing that his elder brother had said so, Zheng Xujie put the jade pendant away. Not long after, Zheng Xujie realized how wise it had been to accept the jade pendant back then. It had indeed saved his brothers from trouble many times, but that's another story.

"As a token of our gratitude, my brother and I will provide the meat you needed for your wedding. Consider it a wedding gift from Xiao Jie to my sister and brother-in-law."

"Yes, that's it. Consider it my wedding gift to my sister and brother-in-law."

"Alright, then we won't postpone it. You can all come to our house for the wedding banquet and get to know each other."

Huo Haocheng didn't postpone the marriage with the brothers. Since the marriage was already arranged, they could deal with the rest later. If the brothers were to harm Ruan Ruan later, they could deal with them then.

"Uncle Zhang, please come to the wedding banquet too!"

Huo Haoshen also extended an invitation to Zhang Yong. Today's success was largely thanks to Zhang Yong's help from the front lines, and Huo Haoshen might need Zhang Yong's help again sometime. Building a good relationship now would definitely be the right thing to do.

"Uncle, let Xiao Jie pick you up later. Come have a drink with me! My grandpa's homemade wine is delicious."

On the way here, Zhang Yong said that he would like to have a drink with Brother Huo Haocheng when he has the chance. He said that one should not forget the source of one's blessings. It would be impossible for a normal person to exclude Zhang Yong at this time.

"Okay, I'll shamelessly go for a drink with Xiao Jie and the others then."

Zhang Yong saw that Ruan Ruan and the other two hadn't forgotten him after the deed was done. Although things hadn't gone according to plan, he was glad to have made Ruan Ruan's friend, as she could help take care of his children in the future.
