Chen Dongze didn't need to think much to guess the answer.

Furthermore, he knew "Song Lan" and knew that she was extremely conservative in matters of love. Previously, when he advised her to divorce, he could use the changes in the Qin family as an excuse. After today, that only excuse was gone, so where did he get the confidence to persuade her to leave the Qin family and end her current marriage?

-

Qin Shuhan originally did not plan to stay in Shisong Village for long, because he still needed to go to the machinery factory to visit his children and his eldest daughter-in-law, Song Lan, so that he could say goodbye to them in person.

However, Song Sanhe and Li Jumei insisted on staying for lunch, so Qin Shuhan, along with Feng Lin and the driver, had lunch at Song Sanhe's house and chatted with the couple for a while before leaving Shisong Village by car.

However, he did not hand over the money notes in his hand.

reason?

The Song couple refused to accept it.

Even though Qin Shuhan casually placed the money and tickets on the dining table when Song Sanhe and Li Jumei weren't paying attention as he got up to leave, the money and tickets were still returned to his hand the moment he got into the car.

It was Song Qinghui who noticed. Without thinking, he picked up the money and handed it to his elderly mother, whispering a few words in her ear.

Li Jumei was equally swift in action. She was already following behind Song Sanhe towards the exit of the main room, so she casually tugged at the back of Song Sanhe's robe. Song Sanhe turned around, and before he could ask anything, he felt something being stuffed into his hand, and at the same time, he heard a whisper in his ear, "Give it back to your in-laws."

And so, the money and tickets that Qin Shuhan thought he had quietly placed on the Song family's dining table ended up back in his hands.

She wanted to get out of the car and hand it to Song Sanhe, but the car had already started moving, and Song Sanhe was waving his hand repeatedly outside the car window.

The meaning is clear: keep the money and tickets safe, no need to be polite!

Considering the relationship between the two families and the Song couple's firm refusal to accept the money, Qin Shuhan had no choice but to keep the money in his hand.

Of course, the money eventually returned to its original owner—Feng Lin.

Machinery factory.

The old staff and their families' residential area.

"This should be the right place."

This was Feng Lin's voice. He asked pedestrians for directions through the half-open car window. At this moment, the car slowly stopped outside Song Lan's courtyard gate. He sat in the passenger seat, turned around and said something to Qin Shuhan, then got out of the car and opened the back door for Qin Shuhan.

Who is it?

Qin Boyan heard the sound of a car coming from the courtyard gate. A look of doubt appeared in his eyes. He got up and walked out of the living room. The next moment, the boy's voice was full of joy: "Dad!"

"Is that Dad? Second brother, Dad's home, right?"

The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, was overjoyed. He hurriedly got up from the bamboo chair and ran towards the living room door with his short legs.

Behind him followed his younger sister, Xiao Liu.

"Big brother! Sister-in-law! It's Dad! Come out quickly, Dad's home!"

Upon seeing his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, raised his sweet little voice and shouted loudly as he ran like a little cannonball towards the center of the yard—or more accurately, he ran towards his father's embrace.

Qin Shuhan first smiled at his second son, Qin Boyan, and said, "You've grown taller." Then, he bent down and opened his arms to catch his youngest son.

Unexpectedly, Qin Boyan was worried about his health, and just as his younger brother Xiao Wu was about to rush into his father's arms, he reached out and grabbed him by the back of his collar.

The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, suddenly found himself suspended in mid-air. He flailed his arms and legs, crying out in distress, "Daddy, save me! Daddy, please save me!"

"What are you yelling about?!"

Qin Boyan scolded, "What if you had knocked Dad down when you rushed towards him?"

"I... I didn't mean to knock Dad over, I was just so happy and wanted Dad to hug me!"

The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, hung his head. He knew that his second brother was right to scold him. If he accidentally knocked his father down and hurt him, even if his second brother didn't punish him, he would feel very bad himself!

"Come here, let Daddy hug you."

Qin Shuhan rescued his youngest son from Qin Boyan's grasp. He held the little guy in his arms and bounced him around, laughing and saying, "Our little fifth son has not only grown taller, but he's also gained quite a bit of weight."

"dad!"

Seeing her older brother being held in his father's arms, the younger sister, Xiao Liu, tilted her head back, blinked her bright black eyes, and looked at her father with envy and admiration.

Hearing his youngest daughter's soft, sweet voice, Qin Shuhan put his youngest son down and picked up the little girl, asking with a smile, "Did you miss your dad, Xiao Liu?"

"think!"

Little Six nodded her head emphatically.

“Dad misses us sixth graders too.”

As Qin Shuhan spoke gently, the little girl in his arms pointed to her ear where she had hearing problems, then turned to point at Song Lan and said in a childish voice, "Little Six can hear now, it was Sister-in-law who healed her!"

"Dad knows."

He learned this when he read the first letter written by his second son, Qin Boyan. He not only learned why his youngest daughter was almost deaf in one ear, but also that his eldest daughter-in-law could cure her.

At that time, Qin Shuhan's mood fluctuated wildly, like riding a roller coaster, and he was filled with gratitude towards his daughter-in-law, Song Lan...

"Lanlan!"

Holding his youngest daughter, Qin Shuhan approached Song Lan, his eyes filled with emotion. He said, "Dad, thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for our family!" He not only shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family, but also devoted himself to treating his eldest son and the youngest daughter in his arms, and he didn't forget to visit him at the forest farm.

It's a blessing for the Qin family to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Song Lan smiled and said, "Dad, don't be so polite with me. Since I'm part of our family, it's only right that I do anything for this family." With that, Song Lan invited Qin Shuhan to sit in the living room.

"dad."

Qin Yanzheng called out to his father.

"Um."

Qin Shuhan nodded slightly, which was considered a response.

The driver didn't get out of the car, but Feng Lin followed Qin Shuhan into the yard. However, he didn't follow into the living room, so as not to interfere with Qin Shuhan's conversation with his family.

"Dad, are we going back today?"

Qin Boyan asked his elderly father.

Qin Shuhan hummed in agreement and said, "I have to leave in a bit."

"I don't know if the house we used to live in has been allocated to someone else. If Dad goes back and the house is still empty, can we keep that house?"

Qin Yaxin suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuhan said, "If it's as you say, Dad will negotiate with the factory."

“Dad, I’ve brought some of the things from our old house here, and I’ve put some of them in the courtyard house under Mom’s name. I’m going to get the key to the courtyard house now. When you get back to Beijing, just have someone bring the things home.”

With that, Song Lan got up and went back to her bedroom. A short while later, she returned with a set of keys.

"These are the keys to each door of the courtyard house."

Handing the keychain to Qin Shuhan, Song Lan took out a pen and paper from under the coffee table. She wrote down a phone number and said to Qin Shuhan, "We just installed a landline here. This is the landline number. If Dad needs to contact us, he can just call home."
