When the captain apologized to Cheng Yousuo, he spoke very sincerely. Initially, he felt that Cheng Yousuo should have known better and shouldn't have let Meili act so recklessly; he was resentful towards Cheng Yousuo. He never expected Meili to dare to act so recklessly.

Cheng Yousuo privately called the brigade leader "Uncle," and they had a very good relationship. Since the brigade leader had said so, he also spoke from the heart. "Uncle, you know what kind of person I am. I don't even glance at other women except my wife. But Meili dared to... she dared to... she practically took off her clothes in front of me, I was terrified!" The simple farmer's eyes were a little red. Song Yan was his great benefactor, and he didn't want to repay kindness with enmity...

The captain was utterly ashamed upon hearing this.

After Captain Wu returned home, he beat his wife and daughter with a belt, leaving them unable to come out and see anyone for more than ten days.

I made corn and wild vegetable porridge for lunch, which served as a quick meal.

"How did you offend Wu Meili?" Wei Aiguo asked.

"No! I'm not familiar with her at all." Song Yan was also a little puzzled as to why Wu Meili was acting strangely.

“She’s bad,” Wei Ping suddenly said.

"Damn, beat her up," Wei An chimed in.

"You're both so cute!" Song Yan kissed each of them. Just now, Wei An and Wei Ping had been holding her hands. Perhaps sensing the adult's emotions, Wei Ping ran outside and brought back a stick, standing beside Song Yan. Wei An followed her brother and went out to get a stick even taller than her. Song Yan's heart melted at that moment. "Tomorrow, Auntie will make dumplings for the darlings."

Wei Aiguo also noticed Wei Ping and Wei Weian's actions. Song Yan was genuinely good to the two children, and the two children truly liked him. "Then I'll have someone bring back a pound of meat tomorrow."

"No need. Xiaoxiao bought a pound of meat, we'll cover the bill. She'll join us for dumplings tomorrow," Song Yan said without a hint of guilt.

"Isn't it inappropriate to ask them to bring meat?" Aunt Wei said.

"It's alright, I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't let her buy something for Xiaoxiao to eat," Song Yan said.

"Did you burn the manuscript you wrote? Don't write anymore," Wei Aiguo said.

Song Yan's original intention was just to scare them. As for submitting the article, he figured he should forget about it. "If Wu Meili and her father behave themselves, I naturally won't bother them."

In the afternoon, Song Yan took her bow and was about to go out. Just as she opened the door, Wei Aiguo's voice rang out, "Don't go into the mountains!"

Was he talking to himself? There were only two people in the yard. "Okay! I'll just take a walk."
