Seeing Xu Yao eating so extravagantly, Chu Xin'er would have immediately criticized anyone else for being overly enthusiastic.

However, it's my sister-in-law's cooking skills, which are absolutely top-notch.

That's exactly the kind of praise I want! The more exaggerated, the better!

However, Chu Xin'er's eyes lit up after taking a bite.

"Yes! It's delicious! Sister-in-law, how did you make it?"

"Just do it the usual way. If you want to learn, I'll teach you later."

Ye Nian'an smiled slightly, and Chu Yan picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.

"Niannian, you've worked hard, eat more."

"kindness."

She wouldn't refuse Chu Yan's thoughtfulness.

Not just this time, but next time, and the time after that... When they eat at the same table, Chu Yan must put Ye Nian'an's feelings first.

Ye Nian'an had worked hard preparing a table full of dishes, and although she enjoyed it, she deserved the respect she received.

Chu Yan, as Ye Nian'an's husband, must deeply understand this point.

"I really didn't expect this... Sister-in-law, you've completely changed, I don't even recognize you anymore."

Chu Xin'er couldn't help but speak up.

The Ye Nian'an of the past would never have known how to make clothes, cook, or collect debts.

She's like she's been given a new soul; she's become a completely different person.

She also became increasingly beautiful and ethereal, with skin as white as an eggshell and a graceful demeanor that made her instantly likable.

Chu Yan glanced at Chu Xin'er: "Nonsense, can't you shut up even when you're eating?"

Chu Xin'er said with a grin, "Hehe, brother, I'm just praising your wife from the bottom of my heart, so you can be happy about it."

Ye Nian'an wholeheartedly agreed: "I love hearing what Xin'er said."

Song Yan silently picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it in Chu Xin'er's bowl.

"Thank you, Brother Song Yan~"

Chu Xin'er gave Song Yan a sweet smile and quickly shoveled rice into her mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Yao said cheekily, "Brother Song Yan, I want one too~"

Song Yan didn't even look up, replying coldly, "Don't you have hands?"

"..."

Goodness, you treat your brothers and the person you like completely differently. You're afraid others won't see how much you like Chu Xin'er.

Oh, only this girl doesn't seem to notice anything at all! She's still happily eating her rice!

After dinner, Chu Yan took over all the dishwashing.

After seeing Song Yan and the others off, he and Chu Xin'er were also going back.

When it was time to part, Chu Xin'er held Ye Nian'an's hand reluctantly.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure you don't want to come back with us? I'm really worried about you living here alone."

"Even if you and my brother aren't officially married yet, you can still sleep in my room."

Ye Nian'an pinched Chu Xin'er's cheek: "Don't worry, after we go to the countryside, we'll be able to see each other every day."

Next, she needs to carry out her plan to empty the Zhang family's house and then go to the black market to buy some things.

Moving to the Chu family's house would make these things inconvenient.

There's no rush. In a few more days, they'll have plenty of time to spend together.

There are still three whole years to go!

Chu Xin'er then spoke up: "Well... alright."

"Niannian, wait for me."

Chu Yan knew that Ye Nian'an's move-in was now illegitimate.

Once the household registration issue is resolved, she will be Chu Yan's true wife.

Whether I live with them or go to the countryside, no one will gossip.

Although Chu Yan was worried about Ye Nian'an and wished he could move in with her so they could see each other every day, he had to hold back for the sake of her reputation.

In the following days, Ye Nian'an continued to plunder the black market as usual.

I only plan to keep 300 yuan and a national ticket on me, and hide the rest in my virtual space.

Fortunately, the black market was not far from Zhang's courtyard.

Ye Nian'an would always take a stroll through the alleyways.

Today, she seized the opportunity.

The Zhang family all went to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Even Zhang Yaozu was taken out with him, otherwise, if he were left alone at home, there would be no one to take care of his eating, drinking, and toileting needs, and it would be even more troublesome to clean up when he came back.

Ye Nian'an had lived in the Zhang family compound for over twenty years, so he easily found his way in.

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

She had been waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge for a long time!

First, go to Li Dahong's room and put the wardrobe, bed, table, chairs... all into the space.

These are all things that Li Dahong and the others have used. Ye Nian'an would never sleep in them, for fear of getting lice.

Even if I burn it, I won't let this wicked mother-in-law who has exploited me for decades get away with it!

At the same time, Ye Nian'an knew where Li Dahong hid his secret stash of money.

It was in the corner of the room, under a brick, wrapped in a plastic bag and a piece of red cloth.

I stumbled upon it by chance in my past life.

At the time, I didn't have the courage or the space to leave the Ye family, and I didn't dare to even think about Li Dahong's private savings.

She could only foolishly give all her dowry to the Zhang family, working like a slave for decades until she was exhausted and barely recognizable.

She was also disliked by the Zhang family, who said she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs and that she had brought bad luck to their family members. She was subjected to all sorts of moral blackmail, humiliation, and trampling. They didn't treat her like a human being at all!

Thinking of this, Ye Nian'an gritted her teeth.

Now that they've emptied the Zhang family's house, they feel no guilt whatsoever!

After lifting the bricks, they indeed found Li Dahong's secret stash of money.

Ye Nian'an didn't have time to look at it closely and directly put it into her space.

Next were Zhang Qingqing's and Shen Xiang's rooms.

The items inside were then reassembled and placed into the space, which became the living room.

They didn't even leave the Zhang family a single piece of firewood.

It's a pity that Shen Xiang hid her money so well that no one knows where she put it.
