Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's good that you know. During that time, my younger brother was taken care of by others. He was just a little kid like Shitou, but he would run over and make a fuss with people every day."

You know, who would pay attention to a little kid like that? My parents were anxious inside, but there was nothing they could do.

I was on a mission outside at the time and couldn't go back, but thankfully, it's all over now.

Zhou Yaru patted Jiang Qiao's hand and said, "Girl, don't say that. We understand what's going on here. If you hadn't been running around here, how could your uncle have solved the problem so quickly? We, the old couple, would not have been able to get out so quickly either. It's just that you've suffered alone, being pregnant and not getting any rest."

Neither of them are fools. When the old couple sits together, all they do is marvel at having such a good grandson as Jiang Qiao.

Wen Ziqing chimed in from the side, "Grandma, to be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Qiao, I might have been sold off by that man too. My good mother would have been helping him count the money."

Zhou Yaru sighed, "I really don't want to say anything more about Ouyang Mingzhu. Her fate with your father in this life is over. Even if your father still has ideas, I will not let her enter this family again. You are all grown up and will have your own lives in the future. If your mother still has any ideas, don't mention them. Let her give up on that idea. My son and grandson were almost ruined by her."

"Grandma, let's not talk about her anymore. The past is the past, and we have to look forward. As for my uncle and my eldest brother, you can help them find partners if they are interested. As for my uncle, if he wants to find someone, we will support him. If he doesn't want to, you shouldn't force him."

If possible, after my second uncle and his family leave, you and my maternal grandfather can come and stay with us for a while. Anyway, we have enough room at home.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "I can't stay here for the time being. We'll wait for your grandfather to give the order."

What should we do today? Do you need any help? Is your belly okay? It's so big. According to the calculations, it shouldn't be like this today."

Wen Ziqing also felt that Jiang Qiao's belly didn't match her gestational age. "You've only been married for a short time, less than half a year, right?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "It's been more than four months, less than five months. But I'm having twins, so it's normal for my belly to be big."

Zhou Yaru was dumbfounded. "Two? You checked?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I don't have time to go to the hospital. I'm my own doctor. I can take my own pulse."

The old lady wouldn't allow it. "You child, you're really bold. Hurry up, let's go to the hospital to get checked out. With your small frame, you've never been even once. You're really brave. You are a doctor, that's true, but you're not an obstetrician. This is a completely different field. This won't do."

The old lady made a move to pull Jiang Qiao to the hospital, but Jiang Qiao stopped her. "Grandma, Grandma, don't rush. We're all waiting to eat. How about we go after lunch? I also want to go see a doctor. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

The old lady thought about it and agreed, so she simply sat in the kitchen and helped pick vegetables. With Chef Jiang Qiao and these two helping out, cooking was simple and easy. However, Wen Ziqing was very envious.

"I don't know how to cook any of these. I can only cook some simple home-style dishes. Jiang Qiao, how did you learn them?"

While cooking, Jiang Qiao said, "It's not difficult at all. As long as you enjoy it, learning to cook is a piece of cake. You can take your time. Once you can cook for yourself, you won't go hungry. Homemade food is more affordable and you can trust it more, right?"

Zhou Yaru nodded in agreement, “That makes sense, Ziqing. Learn more in the future. You will eventually get married and have children. If you can cook, your children will not go hungry. Don’t be like your grandmother. Things were different back then. Now, your grandfather and I don’t know how to cook anything we want to eat.”

Wen Ziqing nodded. "I will definitely learn in the future. I can't be like Jiang Qiao. At least I have to be able to cook a decent meal. Otherwise, we'll be at a loss when guests come over."

Unlike the three generations of the Wen family chatting in the kitchen, the men inside were from three generations of the Wen family, and they were talking about important matters.

Especially after learning that his eldest son had already allocated the shares, Wen Songtao nodded in satisfaction, "You've already thought of that. Zhongxuan, when things get better, you can use the dividends to start a company in China. You can take the helm then, and I'll be your support."

Wen Zhongxuan was dumbfounded. "Father, how long will that take?"

The old man smiled and said, "It won't be long. You can start your own business when you're fifty. With so many brothers around, the economy will definitely develop in the future. It won't always be like this."

Qiao Youliang was very interested in what his uncle had said. "Uncle, do you think we'll be able to wait until that day?"

Wen Songtao nodded noncommittally, "Of course, we will definitely wait. Go back and tell your father that once the situation improves, you should all come back and invest. This is our root. No matter where we go, we should never forget our hometown."

“Uncle, we came here this time not only to see you and take care of some things, but also to take the opportunity to investigate. If conditions really allow in the future, we will definitely come back. My parents also want to go back to their hometown. They have been away for so many years and have never come back. They also want to return to their roots.”

Wen Songtao was very pleased with his younger brother's idea. "Go back and tell your father that he will definitely wait for it. When that time comes, I will take back the old house. Our family will still live in the old house. The young people don't want to live there, so they all move out. We old folks are willing to stay together and live out our old age. When that time comes, we will bring your aunt over."

Qiao Youliang was dumbfounded. "My aunt? Which aunt of mine?"

The Wen family does have daughters, but they are not close to the legitimate sons. Qiao Youliang just can't figure out who this person Wen Songtao is talking about is, that his uncle is so concerned about her.

Wen Songtao grinned and said, "You brat, you only have one aunt, okay? Your aunt isn't dead, she's still alive and well. You probably have some recollection of what happened back then, and your dad probably told you about it too."

However, I didn't tell your father the truth: your aunt didn't die back then. I just made it seem like she became a nun.

However, over the years, she has let go of what she needed to let go of. She's getting old, and staying in the nunnery isn't really a good idea. Although she doesn't lack caregivers, your aunt has suffered so much in her life. I was thinking, now that we siblings are old, we should all get together and have some fun.”

Qiao Youliang quickly asked, "Uncle, where is my aunt? Can I go see her?"

“She went to the nunnery and doesn’t know you’re back. I’ll make some arrangements to make sure you and your niece can meet.”
