Luo Hao went to the county town today and helped Lin Ye sell the latest batch of porcini mushrooms. He didn't expect to run into Lu Wanqing.

He pulled Lu Wanqing aside, handed her the money for the porcini mushrooms, and then whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't tell my mother about what happened today."

"What is it?" Lu Wanqing asked, feigning surprise.

Luo Hao's face turned bright red. What else could have happened? What could possibly happen when a man and a woman are alone in a room together?

He was so embarrassed!

"Just don't mention that you saw me at Tiger's house," Luo Hao said anxiously.

She hadn't planned to bring it up anyway. Even if Luo Hao really was dating Mu Xiaoting, that would be perfectly normal.

"Don't worry, I won't tell," Lu Wanqing replied with a smile, then called Zhao Xiaolan to go home.

Lu Wanqing gave her another piece of candy, which she put in her mouth and smiled, her eyes crinkling. When she returned to the courtyard, Wang Xiuqin saw the two of them, mother and daughter-in-law, happily returning with a large pile of things.

Elaine Chao is truly blessed. In her youth, she was pampered by men who were willing to give up their houses to marry her. Now, she's gone mad, and has gained another wealthy daughter-in-law. All she has to do is operate a sewing machine, and she can live a life of luxury and ease.

Compared to her, I realize how miserable my life is!

My husband is an honest but useless man. Our youngest son is a petty thief who steals even our own money. And our good-for-nothing daughter goes to school all the time, never works, and never contributes any money to the household. They're all good-for-nothings!

Now, her only hope is her eldest son; she doesn't know when he will be able to return from military service.

Lu Wanqing ignored Wang Xiuqin's envious and jealous gaze, carried the things into the house, and found a place to put them away.

Fifty pounds of cotton filled several sacks. She took them out of her spatial storage and placed them on top of the cabinet.

Just as they finished packing, Lin Chunhua and Wang Tiegang called out "Mom" from outside.

Elaine Chao had already memorized Lin Chunhua's name and called her by her name, "Huahua." The mother and daughter entered the house hand in hand.

Lu Wanqing hurriedly came forward and invited them to sit inside.

"I just got back from the county town and I'm unpacking now. The house is a bit messy," Lu Wanqing said as she went to make tea.

Lin Chunhua quickly grabbed her, "Wanqing, don't bother, let's leave after we finish talking."

"That won't do. Have lunch before you leave." Lu Wanqing glanced at her watch; it was almost noon.

Why hasn't Lin Ye returned yet?

She was actually a little hesitant to cook.

Lin Chunhua noticed her expression—wanting to invite someone to stay for dinner but not knowing how to cook—and pressed her down to sit on the edge of the bed. She took out an envelope and smiled, saying, "Don't rush to eat; this is the most important thing."

Lu Wanqing's smile gradually spread across her face; she had already guessed what was in the envelope.

“Wang Guangming originally wanted to come in person, but his wife was in postpartum confinement and he was worried about leaving for too long, so he gave the letter to me.”

As Lu Wanqing read the letter, Lin Chunhua explained.

The envelope contained an ordinary letter written by Wang Guangming and a letter of certification written by Wang Zengman.

Wang Guangming's letter simply stated that he had persuaded the old man to write a letter of testimony, and that if necessary, the old man could be asked to testify at the commune.

The certificate stated that Wang Zengman briefly recounted what happened back then, and then proved that the brigade had indeed occupied the Lin family's ancestral home for a period of twenty years, after which it would be returned unconditionally.

After reading the letter, Lu Wanqing and Lin Chunhua exchanged glances, both of them overjoyed. "Aye will definitely be very happy to know."

Thinking this, both of their eyes became a little moist.

Because of this incident, the Lin family has been bullied and looked down upon by the team for so many years. It's finally time for them to turn the tables.

"Sister Chunhua, please stay for dinner. Aye might not be back for a while, so let's celebrate in advance," Lu Wanqing said, wiping her eyes.

Lin Chunhua didn't refuse anymore. She asked Wang Tiegang to light the fire in the stove while she washed the rice and started steaming it.

Lu Wanqing took out a piece of cured meat from the jar, preparing to make a stew of cured meat and cabbage, and then took out four eggs from the cupboard.

She only knows how to cook these few dishes; she can't cook anything more complicated.

Lin Chunhua knew she wasn't very good at cooking, so she asked her to pick vegetables from the private plot and took over the cooking herself.

So, the final dishes turned out to be stir-fried cured pork with chili and garlic sprouts, fried eggs with chives, and cabbage meatball soup.

Lin Ye called Zhao Xiaolan, who was playing with Xueqiu in the yard, back into the house to prepare dinner. He returned home after smelling the aroma of the food.

He was holding an oil paper package in his hand. When he returned and saw his sister and her husband, he quickly opened the package and said with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot."

A dozen or so white little buns were displayed in front of them, making them look very appetizing.

Everyone still has a bowl of white rice in their bowl, but now there are extra steamed buns. Everyone takes one and puts it in their bowl, and the rest are left on the table for anyone who wants to eat.

While everyone was getting their steamed buns, Lu Wanqing had already served Lin Ye rice.

"Thank you, wife." Lin Ye quickly went to wash his hands.

"Hurry up, we have good news for you." Lu Wanqing chased after his retreating figure with a smile.

During the meal, Lin Ye learned about the letter of proof that Wang Zengman had written.

“I just checked, Grandpa Wang signed and put his fingerprint on it, there’s no mistake,” Lin Chunhua added.

Lin Ye's nose tingled a little, but he remained calm and said, "Next time, I'll treat you to a meal at the ancestral home."

Although he had never lived in the ancestral home for a single day, he always had a strange feeling whenever he passed by, as if it were a nightmare he dared not touch.

Unexpectedly, thanks to his wife's efforts, they were actually able to get the house back, and his gaze towards Lu Wanqing became more admiring.
