In her previous life, to escape confiscation and liquidation, Cen Yan married her stepmother's niece's son at the urging of her family.

Chapter 151 She Doesn't Need Qi Jingchuan's Sacrifice
Leng Feng didn't care about Qi Jingchuan's unfriendly gaze; he was the kind of person who thrived on chaos.
"Sister-in-law, you said it yourself! I'll go tell my comrades right away that we'll have noodles tomorrow!"
"Alright, go ahead. I promise to make sure the comrades have hot noodles for lunch tomorrow. As long as there's no waste, they can eat their fill!" On days when the rain soaks their cornbread, the heroes deserve a little treat. Others may not have this ability, but Cen Yan does, and she has no intention of keeping it a secret.
Leng Feng, fearing that Qi Jingchuan might say something, and wanting to protect his own, stopped Cen Yan from being "generous" and left as if his feet were greased.
With the person gone, Qi Jingchuan naturally couldn't find an outlet for his frustration, and could only look at Cen Yan with disapproval.
"You're being too reckless. Do you even know how many soldiers are going to the countryside this time? Just in Xiangyang Brigade alone, there are 136 of them. They're all strong men with big appetites. They can eat ten big steamed buns in one meal and still not be full. And you dare to boast that you'll give them hot noodles and make sure they're full?"
Qi Jingchuan was holding a grudge. Now that everyone knew Cen Yan was going to treat them to noodles, they were naturally grateful. But while the people in the military were getting noodles, what about the rest of the medical team?
Do they want it?
A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. If Cen Yan fails to treat everyone equally or fulfill her promises, she will face endless criticism.
Cen Yan looked at him and said, "Do you think I'm bragging and saying nice things to fool everyone?"
“You’re not bragging, of course, but the road to Xiangyang Brigade is blocked now. Food and other supplies can’t get in at all. Where are you going to find supplies to treat everyone to lunch? Besides, it’s unnecessary.” Qi Jingchuan frowned.
"Are you angry?" Cen Yan asked softly, biting her lip. "Qi Jingchuan, I just think that the soldiers are working too hard and are too tired to help the villagers with the harvest. A good meal will help them recover."
Qi Jingchuan shook his head: "I'm not angry, and I understand your good intentions, but I can't figure out where you're going to prepare food to provide a hearty noodle lunch for 136 soldiers, or even more!"
It's the kind with eggs, vegetables, or even meat added.
Qi Jingchuan thought about it more and more and felt it was impossible, so he simply got up, put on his raincoat, and went outside.
Cen Yan: Where are you going?
"Find Captain Xiang." Qi Jingchuan turned to look at her. "I still have some money and coupons. Go find Captain Xiang and ask if anyone has flour and eggs. Buy as much as you can. Even if everyone only gets a small bite, it will count as you treating everyone to noodles. You haven't broken your promise."
He must protect Cen Yan from being bullied by anyone. He will fulfill the promise Cen Yan made to her comrades!
So, he wanted to protect her from the wind and rain and fulfill the promise she made?
Qi Jingchuan really wasn't angry? Cen Yan felt a warmth in her heart, as if an invisible hand was lifting her up little by little.
However, she didn't need Qi Jingchuan to sacrifice anything for her, and she didn't want Qi Jingchuan to unconditionally support and tolerate her.
She dared to say those things, so she had the ability to do them and bear the consequences.
She didn't need to live under Qi Jingchuan's wing, because she had her own wings.
"Qi Jingchuan, wait for me for five minutes, I want to show you something."
After saying that, Cen Yan ran into the house, quietly locked the door from the inside, and with a wave of her hand, took out five hundred catties of flour, five hundred eggs, half a cured pig, and a large jar of solidified lard from her space.
She plans to barter with the villagers for the vegetables she needs later, so as not to attract too much attention.
As for how to conceal the existence of the space from Qi Jingchuan and explain the rice, flour, and cooking oil, she had already come up with an excuse.
