With her eyes open, she was faced with a mud-brick house and a strong, rough man. Xia Lan was bewildered.
She discovered she had actually returned to the 1970s, becoming an orphan who had jus...
Qin Yu's return to the village caused a huge uproar, and the village suddenly became lively.
Everyone is speculating about his motives for returning: is it because he couldn't make it in the industry anymore, or was he kicked out by his family?
"He must have done something to get punished like this..."
"I said I was definitely coming back to seek refuge!"
"Do you think it will be a simple matter, especially since even Xia Lan has come back?"
"Whatever it is, it's definitely not a good thing!"
"..."
There were such discordant voices throughout the village.
Xia Lan was unaware that a denunciation meeting had been held in the village, but even if she did, she wouldn't pay any attention to them, thinking they were just a bunch of idle old women.
Xiao Yuqin took Tuantuan and Yuanyuan on an adventure in their new home, while Xia Lan and Qin Yu tidied up the house.
I brought back a lot of things this time, and they've come in handy.
Looking at the spotless house, Tian Min and Wang Tiezhu finally understood why Qin Yu had said they couldn't join the army.
They can't keep up with this level of cleanliness alone.
After everything was tidied up, the third brother, Zhao Xiaolong, arrived with his third uncle and others.
"Third Uncle".
Qin Yu and Xia Lan smiled at their third uncle.
Even after some time apart, the old man is still as energetic as ever.
"What are you doing back here? Why aren't you living a good life in the city? Did you get into some trouble?"
Third Uncle looked at Qin Yu, his eyes filled with questioning.
"No."
Qin Yu quickly shook his head.
Hearing Qin Yu shake his head, Third Uncle breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what people said outside, he believed Qin Yu when he said he didn't come back because he couldn't make it in the world.
The child he watched grow up could never be so cowardly; he must have come back to escape!
"Brother, the villagers are saying really nasty things about you..."
Zhao Xiaolong complained angrily, saying that if his third uncle hadn't stopped him, he would have torn all those gossipy people to shreds.
"Never mind them, I didn't come back for them!"
Qin Yu had long known that the villagers couldn't stand to see him doing well, and he anticipated that their words wouldn't be pleasant.
However, he didn't come back to the village for these women; he had more important things to do.
When Xu Fulin saw his third uncle arrive, he lowered his head.
Third Uncle saw Xu Fulin and gave a cold snort.
"Isn't this the village chief? What brings you here!"
His third uncle's words made Xu Fulin's face fall; he really was...
He was completely wronged.
"Let's not talk about that now! Sit down and eat!"
Qin Yu roughly knew what had happened and told them to stop arguing.
"Dad! I love it here!"
Tuantuan ran over, pounced on Qin Yu, grabbed his leg, and started climbing up.
His nimble hands and feet made him seem nothing like a three-year-old.
Qin Yu let his daughter climb down, and when he saw that she couldn't climb anymore, he picked her up and held her in his arms.
"whee."
Tuantuan chuckled smugly.
"Is this your maid?"
When Third Uncle saw Tuantuan, his eyes lit up.
"Tuantuan, call him Great-Grandpa."
Qin Yu nodded, signaling Tuan Tuan to call for help.
Tuantuan sat in Qin Yu's lap, giving her third uncle a cute smile.
"Great-Grandpa! Hello! I'm Tuantuan, and my full name is Qin Youyou."
"This is my younger brother. His name is Yuanyuan, and his full name is Qin Ye."
Tuantuan introduced them to her third uncle.
Yuanyuan came over and, just like Tuantuan, tugged at Qin Yu's pants and climbed up.
Qin Yu picked up Yuanyuan with one hand and tossed her into the air, then hugged her.
"Third Great-Grandfather".
Yuanyuan remained calm and sat serenely in Qin Yu's lap, nodding to her third uncle.
His mature demeanor reminded Third Uncle of Qin Yu when he was a child.
"Oh my, this is just like Stone when he was a kid!"
Third Uncle looked at the miniature version of Qin Yu and trembled with joy.
Tian Min couldn't help but feel envious when he saw Qin Yu holding two babies in his arms.
"My brother already has two kids, and I don't even have a wife..."
Tian Min said with a mournful tone.
"You talk as if I have it!"
Zhao Xiaolong rolled his eyes at Tian Min. He wasn't married and didn't have a wife either!
His mother keeps pressuring me to get married, it's so annoying.
But now, seeing Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in Qin Yu's arms, two chubby little ones, he suddenly felt less resistant to marriage.
"Third Uncle?"
When Xiao Yuqin came out, she saw that the two treasures had been handed to Qin Yu. Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, she looked at her third uncle.
"Third Uncle, thank you for taking care of Qin Yu. Yu'er told me that if you hadn't always saved your food rations to give him a bite when he was little, he wouldn't have grown up!"
Xiao Yuqin bowed deeply to her third uncle to thank him for saving her son.
"Are you Qin Yu's biological mother?"
Third Uncle accepted Xiao Yuqin's greeting and seemed quite pleased with her. Knowing that Qin Yu's identity had been changed, he sent that disgusting family to jail.
The fact that Qin Yu brought her back shows that he genuinely accepted her.
"Yes! My name is Xiao Yuqin. Thank you for taking care of my Yu'er all this time."
Xiao Yuqin smiled at them and said that anyone Qin Yu could accept must be an important person.
She could clearly sense that Qin Yu was very relaxed in their presence.
"Aunt Xiao, you're too kind! It's always my brother who takes care of us, not us who take care of him... We're already being kind by not causing him any trouble."
Zhao Xiaolong scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by such a sincere thank you.
"That's right, we were all saved by our eldest brother, otherwise we would all be finished."
Wang Tiezhu agreed with Zhao Xiaolong's words. If it weren't for Qin Yu leading them all these years, they wouldn't have the good life they have now.
Although the source of the money cannot be made public, it ensures that the whole family lives well and never goes hungry.
This is already a very good thing for them.
"Alright, it's all in the past! This kid is really lucky now. He's found a good wife, reunited with his family, and has both a son and a daughter."
Third Uncle laughed.
"See? Marry a virtuous wife. Marrying a good wife can change your destiny!"
Third Uncle's words stunned Wang Tiezhu and the others.
"is that so?"
Zhao Xiaolong thought this statement made a lot of sense...
Qin Yu used to be worse off than him! He used to even feel sorry for his older brother...
But look at it now, ever since my older brother married Sister-in-law Xia Lan, he has moved to the city, found a job, reunited with his relatives, and his sister-in-law even gave birth to twins for him.
In just three or four years, your life has become complete? You've made up for all the regrets of the previous twenty years in one fell swoop?
"Isn't that exactly it?"
Seventh Uncle's voice rang out behind them, and Fourth Uncle Chen Mo and Sixth Uncle Ding Cheng helped Seventh Uncle walk over.
"Mom, this is Seventh Uncle."
Qin Yu introduced it to Xiao Yuqin.
"Seventh Uncle".
Xiao Yuqin nodded to Seventh Uncle.
Seventh Uncle sized up Xiao Yuqin for a long time, then a smile appeared on his lips.
