The village head cleared his throat and loudly told everyone around him to be quiet.

Then he began, “As you all have seen, the pig-slaughtering team went up the mountain yesterday, but they didn’t kill any wild boars. Now, the wild boars’ dens may have changed. The only one who can find the wild boars’ dens is Run’s wife. I know that some of you had some complaints about her before, but she went up the mountain despite the danger last time. This time, we need her to help the pig-slaughtering team. If anyone still questions her or even slanders her, I will be the first to object!”

Chen Yourun looked at Yin Lan in surprise.

He hadn't expected the village head to speak up for her like that. Faced with such praise and everyone's attention, his wife remained calm and composed, seemingly without joy or sorrow, and remarkably serene.

Chen Yourun knew that this was so rare.

He seems to know nothing about his wife. Was she like this before? Turns out she's... this amazing?

How did she manage to find the wild boar's den?

Last time, she actually went into the mountains with the pig slaughtering team? How could she be so brave? She...

Chen Yourun was filled with countless shocks and questions.

So, which one is the real woman, the one the Chen family mentioned, or the one he saw?

Among the villagers.

Most people had already begun to look at Yin Lan with new respect because of what the village head had said.

There are still a small number of people who don't quite believe it.

As a result, the members of the pig slaughtering team stepped forward, with Zhao Dashan being the first to speak. "Last time we were able to kill five wild boars because Run's wife found the wild boars' nest and determined the timing of the attack. Without her this time, we really couldn't have done it."

Then another team member came out and said, "Going into the mountains to kill wild boars is very dangerous, but with Run's wife, we have nothing to fear. If you still doubt her, then who among you can stand up and do what she has done?"

Some villagers began to feel ashamed.

Then, a third person stepped forward, saying, "Anyone with the ability, step forward! We're risking our lives, and the Yin family is risking their lives too. If we still have to be talked about behind our backs, then whoever wants to do it can do it."

Then the fifth, sixth, seventh...

All four team members stepped forward.

The third son of the Chen family also stood up and said, "I believe my sister-in-law."

The second son of the Chen family did not look well.

Widow Ye gritted her teeth even more. Those men, just because Yin was pretty, actually went against their conscience and spoke up for her?!

But she dared not step forward again, what if the slaughtering team brought back grain next time and didn't give it to her?

The others, including Chen Dafu and Sun Rapi, remained resentful and held the same opinion.

Anyway, they don't need to put in any effort, but the amount of meat they get is too small. The village head is really unfair. He's always on the side of the Chen family, especially those few Chen families. Sooner or later, they'll bring down the current village head.

Most of the people below looked at Yin Lan with trust.

Yin Lan also stepped forward. Even in front of so many people, she remained neither humble nor arrogant. Her voice came from her abdomen, and although it was not as powerful as a man's, it still had its own sharpness.

“In that case, we’ll go into the mountains again in a few days. But I must say that the wild boar’s den has changed and I don’t know where it is, so it will be very difficult to find, and there’s a high chance we won’t be able to get any pork back.”

This time, there were very few voices questioning Yin Lan.

Even if they did, they wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

Only Chen Yourun stared intently at Yin Lan. When he realized what she had said and tried to stop her, it was too late.

He never imagined that his wife would be so eloquent, so completely unfazed and nervous, and so...

He was unable to describe the shock he felt.

Beside him, Sanwa, who had already been put down, was also looking at his mother. It was unclear how much he had understood, but his bright, sparkling eyes were fixed on Yin Lan, as if he were looking at her god.

After the matter was explained, the villagers dispersed in twos and threes.

Yin Lan and the village head talked for a while longer.

The village head then noticed Chen Yourun. He quickly approached and greeted him, "If you had come back sooner, the wild boar incident might have been resolved much earlier, and as for going into the mountains..."

“I’ll go,” Chen Yourun said without hesitation.

The village head was overjoyed. Although he hadn't expected Chen Yourun to refuse, he was still very excited to hear the news.

This provides an extra layer of protection for the pig slaughtering team.

Moreover, with Chen Yourun joining, no one would dare to raise any objections. Everyone in the village knew how good Chen Yourun was at fighting; just look at his arms, which were thicker than tree trunks.

The village head left satisfied.

When Yin Lan walked over, Chen Yourun had already picked up the third child.

Having had more contact with him, Sanwa was no longer so resistant to this strange man.

But upon seeing his mother, he immediately burst into tears, reaching out his thin, delicate hands, "Mommy~ hug me~"

Yin Lan: "..."

She really didn't want to hold the baby; the baby was too heavy.

"You can get down and walk yourself, or your dad can carry you. It's your choice."

Sanwa was also very sensible and immediately hugged Chen Yourun's neck.

The little, soft face pressed against him, and Chen Yourun's heart melted.

She kept calling him the father of her child, always acknowledging his identity, which made Chen Yourun secretly delighted.

Then they heard Yin Lan's voice, "The village head hasn't gone far yet. The divorce papers, we..."

Chen Yourun seemed not to hear what she said and strode forward quickly.

"If we don't do it today, when will we?" Yin Lan took two steps forward and continued to ask.

Chen Yourun had long legs and walked fast; in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Is he hard of hearing?

I hadn't noticed it at all before.

Yin Lan was truly puzzled.

Chen Yourun hurried along, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he knew immediately that it was Madam Yin who had followed him.

"I...want...Mom~" the third child said in a tearful voice.

Chen Yourun gently covered the child's mouth, "Good boy, you don't want to."

They took faster steps.

Yin Lan: "......"

She wanted to take her child back home, but since she was already going home, she didn't want to trouble the child's father.

But why is he running so fast? Just because he has long legs? Impressive, huh?

In short, Yin Lan chased after him all the way, but she couldn't catch up with the tall man on his lap.

When she arrived home, panting, Chen Yourun was already with Zhao Dashan. The two men were arguing about something, and when Yin Lan got closer, she realized it was about building a stove.

"Chen Yourun, do you look down on me? Your wife asked me to help, and even if you come back, I still have to help you with what I'm supposed to."

Moreover, there are some things Zhao Dashan is embarrassed to say.

You have no idea how extravagant your wife is. Every time she goes to the county town, she goes on a shopping spree and even gave him two big meat buns. Zhao Dashan felt embarrassed to take her things for free.
