Yao Youjun sighed and recounted how they had met and their interactions over the past two years. "That's how it was. I just saved her out of kindness, but I didn't expect..."

Yao Xiujuan's eyes widened, and she looked at Yao Youjun in disbelief. "Youjun, you can still be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Yao Youjun, “…”

Seeing Yao Youjun's deflated expression, Chu Tian stopped laughing and looked outside. He saw Liu Jiali, Yao Xiuli and Xinxin picking vegetables together in the vegetable garden, talking and laughing, so he asked in a low voice.

"Friendly Army, do you have any feelings for that girl?"

"If you don't feel the same way, just tell her directly. Don't keep her hanging like this. It doesn't matter to you, but it's very unfair to her as a girl."

Yao Youjun frowned upon hearing this, looking very distressed, "Brother-in-law, but, but I, I have never liked anyone, I don't know what it feels like to like someone..."

Chu Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Then let me ask you a question, and you answer according to your true feelings."

Seeing Yao Youjun nodded, Chu Tian asked.

"First, do you annoy her?"

Yao Youjun shook his head, "No, not bothering."

"Second, what was your first feeling when you saw her? Did you want to escape? Or were you happy?"

"Have fun..."

"third····"

“·····”

After hearing Yao Youjun's answer, Chu Tian was completely amused, and Yao Xiujuan also had a smile on her face. After Chu Tian helped Yao Xiujuan stand up, he walked to Yao Youjun who was confused.

Patting his shoulder, he suppressed a smile and said, "Friendly Army, were you really a piece of wood in your previous life?"

Yao Youjun, “…”

Yao Xiujuan lowered her head and smiled, then she said, "Friendly Army, don't just sit there, go to the kitchen and help light the fire."

Yao Youjun stood up and replied hesitantly, "Oh, I'll go right away!"

After Yao Youjun left, Chu Tiancai and Yao Xiujuan turned and walked towards the inner room. Chu Tiancai helped Yao Xiujuan sit down on the kang and said with a smile, "Youjun is very lucky..."

Yao Xiujuan suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes, I just don't know when the friendly forces will figure out what I am thinking."

Chu Tian laughed, "If he wants to figure it out himself, I guess he won't be able to figure it out in the next few years."

After a pause, he continued, "However, I think this girl is quite proactive. I guess it won't take long for her to defeat the friendly forces."

Yao Xiujuan, “…”

Inside Uncle Chu's house, Mrs. Chu was surprised after hearing what Chu Jie said, "Jie'er, you said the friendly army brought their partner back?"

Chu Jie smiled and nodded, "Yes, I brought her. The girl is pretty and has a good personality."

Mrs. Chu was overjoyed and clapped her hands involuntarily, "Oh, that's great! Now I feel relieved!"

Chu Jie picked up Pingping, who was lying on the ground playing with his youngest son. He was stunned when he heard the words, "Grandma, you are worried about your friend finding a partner?"

Mrs. Chu smiled and explained, "Didn't I originally want your sister Lifang to be with Youjun? But then Jianjun rejected Youjun, and I've always felt sorry for that child."

"I originally wanted to introduce him to another good girl, but this is not my hometown, and my grandmother only knows a few people, so..."

"It's good now. He has found a partner. Grandma doesn't have to feel guilty anymore."

Chu Jie dusted Ping Ping off and said helplessly, "Grandma, this matter was not brought to light at the time. What do you have to feel guilty about?"

Mrs. Chu waved her hand. "You don't understand. Although this matter hasn't been made public, your tenth brother, Xiujuan, and the parents of the friendly forces all know about it. Apart from the lack of publicity, it's actually almost as good as if it were public."

"Although your sister-in-law and her brother don't mind, it's still not very good..."

“·····”

Chu Jie looked at Old Mrs. Chu speechless for a while, thinking that only she minded and felt it was not good. In any case, every time he saw Yao Youjun and Yao Xiujuan over the past year or so, he did not feel that they minded at all.

Old Madam Chu stood up and extended her hand towards Pingping in Chu Jie's arms, saying, "Pingping, let's go home with Grandma. Your uncle is here with his aunt."

Pingping tilted her head, "Uncle?"

Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Yes, your uncle is here. He is the uncle who always brings you delicious food."

Pingping struggled upon hearing this and shouted, "Pingping, walk on your own."

Chu Jie put him on the ground. As soon as he put him on the ground, the little guy walked towards the door. Seeing this, he hurriedly warned, "Pingping, walk slowly, don't fall."

Old Madam Chu waved her hand and said as she walked out, "It's okay. Don't underestimate Pingping, but he has a very stable lower body and rarely falls."

“····”

Chu Jie watched the two people walk out of the yard, then turned and went back to the house. Seeing his wife Wang Meihua standing by the window, he casually asked, "Aizhu's mother, what are you doing standing here? Isn't it your turn to cook today? Go cook, or your mother will scold you again!"

Wang Hehua didn't answer, but walked out with her head down.

Chu Jie glanced at her back in confusion, took off his shoes and lay down on the kang. Just as he closed his eyes, his daughter Chu Aizhu ran in, lay down beside him and whispered, "Dad, Dad, are you asleep?"

Chu Jie opened his eyes and looked sideways, "Aizhu, Daddy is not asleep. What do you want from me?"

Chu Aizhu's eyes flashed with joy, and then she moved closer to Chu Jie and whispered hurriedly, "Dad, I saw mom scolding my brother..."

Chu Jie was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What did your brother do wrong?"

Chu Aizhu tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know what my brother did wrong, but I heard mom scold him for being stupid, saying that he didn't know how to please Pingping..."

"They say my younger brother is stupid, always happy and silly, and doesn't know how to ask grandma for things. They say my uncle has a lot of good things at home, but he doesn't know how to ask for them..."

After saying that, Chu Aizhu looked at Chu Jie in confusion, "Dad, those are all from Uncle Shi's family, why should we do that? Why did Mom scold my brother?"

Chu Jie's face darkened the more he listened. Finally, he resisted the urge to curse, took a deep breath, and softened his voice to Chu Aizhu, "Aizhu, your mother is wrong. No matter how much other people's things are, they are still theirs. We can't take them, do you understand?"

Chu Aizhu nodded slowly, "Aizhu understands..."

After lunch, Mrs. Chu took Liu Jiali's hand and looked her up and down. "Girl, how old are you this year?"

Liu Jiali looked up at Yao Youjun, who was sitting across from her at the table drinking water, and said sheepishly, "Grandma Chu, I'm nineteen this year, almost a year younger than Brother Youjun."

Old Mrs. Chu exclaimed, "Nineteen? This is a good age, you can even get a marriage certificate..."

"By the way, girl, when do your parents want you to get married? What are their requirements for the person you want to marry?"
