As soon as Jin Mandong said this, all three of them frowned, especially Sun Xiuhua.

If she weren't thinking about being a military wife, she would have slapped him long ago.

How many people can tolerate others saying bad things about their child? Even if they're not good, the child is still their own.

Zhu Cui wanted to kick the person out, but before she could say anything...

A girl ran in from outside.

"Mom, Erdanzi got into a fight again."

Jin Mandong didn't want to leave without getting what she wanted, while Zhu Cui had originally planned to give her something to get rid of her.

Now, hearing her say that about Sun Xiuhua's daughter, I pretended not to see her implication.

"Mom, if we don't go now, Erdanzi will suffer."

"I know, you brat, why did you have to come now of all times?"

Jin Mandong twisted the girl's ear and left, having worked for nothing all morning.

Jin Mandong was furious because she got nothing. After she left, Zhu Cui gave Lele a White Rabbit candy.

"Sister-in-law Sun, don't be angry. I think Lele has a great personality. Girls should be quiet and gentle. Look at my daughter too, she doesn't make a fuss."

"You're right."

Sun Xiuhua wouldn't hold a grudge against Jin Mandong. The three of them chatted while they were busy. It turned out that this Erdanzi was Jin Mandong's adopted nephew.

"What about her other nephews?"

“They were all sent back, otherwise how could she afford to raise so many children?”

The three of them were busy all afternoon, and in the evening Zhu Cui's husband brought everyone over.

Because Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua had helped, Zhu Cui invited them to stay for dinner.

Knowing that Ye Zhaozhao is in charge of cooking today, everyone is in for a treat.

Even Zhu Cui said that the dishes Ye Zhaozhao sent were exceptionally delicious; she had already tasted them last night.

Everyone was eating with their heads down, not bothering to talk. Gu Yunduan served food to Ye Zhaozhao and the children, and the people around them couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Gu Yunduan isn't this gentle during the day on the training field.

They would be content if they had a choice in half of their training sessions, but they dared not speak out against it.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and, as usual, helped clean up before leaving. Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao took the children home.

Knowing that they were going to stay at the Gu family's house, Ye Zhaozhao packed a lot of things to take with them, including tonics made with spiritual spring water for Gu's parents.

There are also clothes made of flawed fabric.

As for Gu Yunxiao and Zhu Lin, Ye Zhaozhao gave Gu Yunxiao some medicine he had brought on his mission, and gave Zhu Lin a set of cosmetics.

As for Gu Jingzhou, Ye Zhaozhao packed up all the snacks that the children usually like to eat.

"Honey, stop tidying up, go to sleep first."

"It'll be ready soon, you go to sleep first."

Gu Yunduan insisted on sleeping with his wife, and the two of them took the children to the Gu family home the next day.

Upon seeing them, Mr. Gu immediately began to fuss over the child.

The children also love their grandparents. When Ye Zhaozhao saw that Lin Yanke had packed a lunchbox, she asked her a question.

"Mom, should we take this lunchbox out?"

"Zhaozhao, Grandpa is in the hospital."

Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan were both stunned after hearing Zhu Lin's words.

"How come they didn't know Grandpa was hospitalized?" Lin Yan asked hurriedly, seeing the two of them getting anxious.

“Your grandfather has been hospitalized for three days. We haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. Don’t worry, it’s not serious. It’s just that your grandfather’s headache has flared up again.”

Although Lin Yan said that, Gu Yunduan was still worried and decided to go to the hospital with Ye Zhaozhao to check on her.

"You can take the food over there right away."

The two of them set off for the hospital with their lunchboxes. Once there, they quickly found Grandpa Gu's ward and saw Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao.

The old man immediately acted as if nothing had happened.

"What brings you two here?"

"Grandpa, we've come to see you. You're not allowed to hide your hospital stay from us anymore, are you?"

"Okay, okay."

Knowing he felt guilty, Old Master Gu didn't scold Gu Yunduan this time, but instead looked at the lunchbox in Gu Yunduan's hand.

"What did you bring me? I'm starving."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunduan handed him the lunchbox. Gu Yunxiao, who was standing next to him, was about to get up and leave when he saw Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao arrive.

"Third brother, you stay and finish your meal with Grandpa. I'm going back to catch up on my sleep."

"good."

After the old man finished eating, Gu Yunduan asked Ye Zhaozhao to examine his body. After Ye Zhaozhao took his pulse, she said...

"Grandpa is fine and will be discharged from the hospital soon."

The two were relieved and stayed with the old man until he fell asleep.

The two of them went outside, and Ye Zhaozhao thought about how the weather was getting cold and she needed to make clothes for the children.

Cotton is hard to buy in winter, so she wanted to go to the department store to take a look.

On the Gu family's side, Gu Jingzhou was overjoyed to see that Ye Zhaozhao had brought him so many delicious things.

"Mom, my aunt is so good to me, I want to give her a gift too. What do you think she would like?"

Zhu Lin thought Ye Zhaozhao was really amazing; her son had never mentioned giving her a gift before.

However, she wasn't jealous at all; instead, she seriously discussed with her son what to give Ye Zhaozhao as a gift.

After buying cotton, Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan returned to the hospital to visit their grandfather.

Gu Linyuan came to keep them company that evening and told them that Grandpa would be discharged from the hospital soon.

After visiting the old man, the two went back to their courtyard house, and Shen Bo's house had been rented.

The marriage with Fang Siwan was arranged, but Shen Jianli and Liang Hudie were worried about their families.

They planned to go back after the couple got married, but Gu Yunduan still had to go to training.

So he left early in the morning, leaving Ye Zhaozhao behind in the courtyard.

Ye Zhaozhao was never idle; whenever she had time, she would go out and look at houses.
