"I just happened to be flipping through a book when I was bored. What? You think you're the only ones who are cultured and learned, but I can't say this?"

"Okay, okay, okay~"

The whole room was filled with a joyful and cheerful atmosphere.

Night fell.

While the two families were having dinner, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Yan called out, "Who is it?"

"Brother Yan, it's me."

It's Shi Gandang!

Chu Yan went to open the door and looked at the young soldier in front of him, who was tanned dark but even stronger than when he saw him during the New Year. He said happily, "Little Stone, when did you get back?"

"I took a special leave and rushed back to the village just to tell you some good news!"

Shi Gandang could not hide the excitement on his face: "Brother Yan, Commander Chu, the culprit who framed you back then has been found out and is reaping what he sowed. He is currently under investigation!"

"What?!"

Chu Zhenyuan, who rushed over after hearing this, was also stunned.

When Xu Yao and Song Yan went to the countryside to discuss this matter with them, they had already thought about this day.

But I didn't expect it to come so quickly, so suddenly!

"Yes! The military region has achieved a partial victory. This matter has affected many people, but at least a large opening has been made, and we can see hope!"

"We're about to win!"

Shi Gandang was also extremely excited.

As a soldier of the land of flowers, who would want their country to be turned into chaos and on the verge of falling apart by those with ulterior motives?

He used to be just a lowly soldier, and he was helpless in the face of all this.

But that doesn't mean he won't think about it or look at it.

He knew that his country had become very dangerous, on the verge of collapse.

This good news is truly inspiring and morale-boosting.

Thinking of the Chu family members still in Liangtian Township, Shi Gandang reported the situation to his superior, who immediately approved his return to inform the Chu leaders of the good news.

They had been hoping for this victory for a very long time; it was truly hard-won!

"good!"

"good!!"

"good!!!"

"Come on, Little Stone, come in and have a drink with me! I'm so happy!!!"

Chu Zhenyuan trembled with excitement.

He had been dreaming about this day for so long, he had been waiting for it like the stars and the moon, and finally it had arrived!

Shi Gandang grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and leaned the bamboo basket he was carrying forward.

"I heard that Sister Nian'an gave birth to triplets. Congratulations, Uncle Chu, Brother Yan. This is a gift I brought. Please accept it."

Chu Zhenyuan's expression changed instantly: "Oh dear, you came all the way back to tell us this amazing news, and you even brought something with you? Don't you consider me your uncle?"

"Uncle Chu, this is a matter of courtesy. My dad said you must accept it, otherwise if I take it back, he'll break my legs with a stick."

"Please accept this as a favor, Uncle, I beg you, Little Stone."

Shi Gandang pleaded in a humble and subservient manner. Ye Nian'an walked over and smiled slightly: "Alright, then I'll thank you. Little Stone, it's just time for dinner, you can eat with us."

"I'll go get you the peach blossom wine I brewed. It's been aged for over a year, so the flavor should be perfect by now."

"Haha~ Sister Nian'an really cares about me, thank you~ I'm really looking forward to it."

Shi Gandang made a special trip over here, determined to have a good drink with Chu Zhenyuan and Chu Yan before heading back.

After Ye Nian'an told them the good news brought by Shi Gandang, the Ye family was also very happy.

Ye Xiang said with emotion, "What does this mean? It means that the enemy's henchmen are gradually being exposed and have begun to be discovered by the leadership. This is a good thing."

Ever since Song Yan and Xu Yao arrived, he had a premonition... that the day of dawn would come soon.

The fact that the political enemies who framed the Chu family have been investigated and arrested further confirms this.

The Ye family will soon be truly liberated, and the day they return to the city is not far off.

Chu Xin'er was also excited, but at the same time she was also puzzled: "Dad, Uncle Ye, since those culprits who framed us have been caught and are being investigated and locked up."

"Why hasn't anyone notified us yet? Logically, they should be able to find evidence and clear our names soon."

“Xin’er, this matter involves too many things. The investigation can’t be completed so quickly. The other side’s last forces will put up a last-ditch effort.”

Ye Nian'an explained, "Even though most of them have been captured, the people in charge are still making a last-ditch effort. Only by capturing them can we achieve true victory and liberation!"

According to Ye Nian'an's memories from her previous life, the turning point for everything will be next year!

Chu Zhenyuan nodded: "Niannian is right, but after knowing about this, I believe that day is not far away. Maybe it will be at the end of the year, or maybe next year!"

"This is great news! Come on, everyone, let's have a good drink! It's for the birth of our three children, and it's for our future!"

Cheers!

The meal lasted a full three hours before they stopped.

Shi Gandang was so drunk that he could only stammer and couldn't string together a complete sentence.

It was Shi Minghui who came over to help them back.

Chu Yan has a high alcohol tolerance. Although he was happy tonight and drank quite a bit, he was a little drunk, but not to the point of being incoherent, so he took care of cleaning up the mess.

"I'm sorry, Captain, Niannian's family has come, and there's really no room here. Otherwise, Xiaoshitou could squeeze in with us."

"It's alright, Comrade Chu Yan. After learning about your situation, Xiao Shitou's superior directly approved his leave to come back and report this good news. This shows that most of the wise men in the army believe in you and stand on your side."

"As long as they are here, I believe the day when your Chu family is exonerated is not far off, and I am truly happy for you!"

When Shi Minghui learned that the main reason Shi Gandang had returned this time was because he was genuinely happy for the Chu family, he was surprised.

The nation's heroes cannot be wronged and buried like this; it would be a great loss to the country and would chill the hearts of countless patriots.

Justice delayed is justice delayed, but it is still justice, which is much better than no justice at all.

The Chu family has lived in Liangtian Township for almost three years now. Everyone has seen what kind of people they are. They are definitely not the kind of "traitors" that outsiders say they are! That is pure slander and someone has framed them!

"Thank you, Captain."

There are some things Chu Yan can't say to others.

Although we have achieved a partial victory and the opponent is in retreat, we have not yet achieved a complete victory.

To avoid being overheard, it's best to keep some things to yourself and understand them.

"I know. Alright, Comrade Chu Yan, get some rest. It's the off-season for farming now. Spend more time with your wife and children."

"I might not see you all next year, haha~ I hope everything goes well for you, and wish you all the best!"

"Thank you, Captain!"
