After the guests left one by one, Tian Yu and the three women cleaned up the table and used the cart brought by the five soldiers to return the items to the villagers. Tian Yu also gave each family that had borrowed things a portion of pastries and candy to return them. After helping the five soldiers see them off, she drove the cart back with the Liu brothers, giving each of them a portion of pastries and candy as well. After tidying everything up, Tian Yu gave the three women red envelopes, each containing twenty copper coins and a packet of pastries and candy. The three women left with smiles, and before leaving, they didn't forget to advise Tian Yu to be more optimistic, saying that Hunter Chen was also a good person. Tian Yu could only sigh and nod. The village head's family was still in the living room chatting with Zhao Moyan, with Li Yong also keeping them company. Zhao Jincheng had a lot to say to Zhao Moyan, and Zhao Jinxiu didn't want to leave either, sitting to the side and stealing glances at Zhao Moyan, occasionally calling out "Brother Moyan." Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, and that Zhao Moyan was polite and had a bright, warm smile, there was no trace of the morning's chill, Tian Yu didn't go inside but went outside instead. Zhao Jinxin's family of three were playing with Chen Chong and Tang Yuan in the bamboo forest outside.

Tian Yu was a little tired, so she went to inform Chen Chong and Tang Yuan that she was going back to her room to rest. When she opened the door to her room, she was stunned to see three large trunks. What was going on? Who sent them? She thought about it and realized it was Li Yong who had brought them, but weren't they in the wrong place? Shouldn't they have been moved to Zhao Moyan's room? Tian was too tired to think much of it and simply walked around the trunks to the inner room, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes to rest. She had only intended to doze off for a while, but she was too exhausted and fell asleep. In her dream, she married Chen Chong, and Tang Yuan didn't leave with Zhao Moyan but lived with them.

When Tian Yu woke up again, it was already dark. She straightened her clothes and went out of her room, where she saw Chen Chong waiting outside. She didn't see Zhao Moyan or Li Yong, but the living room lights were on. She could hear Li Yong's voice, seemingly asking Zhao Moyan what he was thinking and why he wanted a divorce from Tian Yu. Tian Yu smiled at Chen Chong and said, "What time is it? It's so dark. Why are you standing here waiting? Why don't you come in and sit down? Haven't the village head and the others left yet?"

"It's just getting dark, the village head and the others have already left. Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat."

"No need, I'm not hungry. Where are Tangyuan and Xiaoju?"

"They were both a bit tired, so they ate something and went to sleep."

"Really? It seems everyone is quite tired today. Why don't you go back and rest early?"

"I'm fine, but you haven't eaten much at noon. You should go and get something to eat." Chen Chong said, pulling Tian Yu into the kitchen, serving her a bowl of porridge, and bringing out the leftover side dishes from lunch so she could have something to eat. Tian Yu looked at the porridge in the bowl and asked, "Did you make this porridge?"

"It was something that Li Yong and I did together."

Tian Yu was somewhat incredulous, but still accepted it with a smile, imagining the scene. The porridge was probably cooked with their anger. Tian Yu felt much better after drinking a bowl of porridge. At this moment, Li Yong also came out of the living room and stood outside the kitchen, still looking angry. It seemed Zhao Moyan hadn't given him a reasonable explanation, so he was still annoyed. He was now glaring angrily at Chen Chong and said, "Why aren't you leaving? Want to fight again?"

"If you haven't left, why should I?"

Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?

"You're the one causing trouble, not me."

"Li Yong, stop them. Don't wake Tangyuan." Tian Yu quickly stopped them when she saw that they were about to fight again.

“Even if you and your brother are divorced, you don’t need to favor this guy.”

"Chen Chong, ignore him, let's talk outside." Tian Yu said, pulling Chen Chong to go outside into the yard. As they passed Li Yong, she gave him a provocative look, which emboldened Li Yong to go back inside to find Zhao Moyan.

Tian Yu and Chen Chong arrived at the swing by the door. Tian Yu asked, "Have you been having some problems lately? I always feel like you have something on your mind, and your brow is always furrowed." She then reached out and touched Chen Chong's brow, trying to smooth it out for him.

"Nothing much, I was just thinking about how I can marry you sooner," Chen Chong said with a smile.

“Now we can be together anytime, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”

"Hmm, Tian Yu, have you decided to marry me?"

"I've already thought it through. What, you don't want to marry me anymore?" Tian Yu looked up into Chen Chong's eyes and asked.

“I have wanted to, I’ve always wanted to. How about I come back in three days to marry you?” Chen Chong said earnestly, looking at Tian Yu.

Looking into Chen Chong's bright eyes, Tian Yu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Chen Chong hugged Tian Yu tightly, somewhat excitedly, and whispered, "I'll be going to the county town to prepare some things these next two days. You don't need to worry about anything, just stay home and wait for me."

"Okay, but can we skip the banquet? I don't like a lot of people."

"Okay, then let's not invite anyone else, just the two of us, shall we?"

"Okay, we don't need anyone else, just you are enough."

"Once you've made a promise, you can't go back on your word."

"No backing out!"

The two stood under the moonlight for a long time. Before leaving, Chen Chong gently kissed Tian Yu's forehead and said, "Wait for me!" before turning back again and again. Tian Yu watched his figure slowly disappear into the darkness, feeling as if it were all unreal, yet it was all real. Thinking of Chen Chong's words, she smiled unconsciously.

Li Yong suddenly called out from behind, "Sister-in-law."

Tian Yu was startled by his voice and turned to look at Li Yong. Li Yong continued, "Is your sister-in-law in such a hurry to get together with that guy right after divorcing your brother? Are you getting married in three days?"

"Yes! I don't know why you're angry, but you heard what Zhao Moyan said today. We divorced six years ago, and who I'm with now seems to have nothing to do with you or your older brother anymore."

"But you still have Tangyuan, and your older brother doesn't want to divorce you. Why can't you give him another chance?"

"He doesn't want to? He said so?"

“My older brother didn’t say anything. I asked him for a long time, but he was unwilling to say anything.”

"How do you know he's unwilling? He made the decision six years ago, and this is just a repetition."

“I know he just doesn’t want to. Usually, my brother is indifferent and cold towards us, but I know he’s unhappy today. Although he’s been smiling all day, this isn’t what he wants to do. He’s only doing this for my sister-in-law.”

"You can't say this is for my sake, can you? He could also be doing it for Tangyuan, after all, Tangyuan is his son."

"Okay, even if it's for the glutinous rice balls, what about the other things in the room? Are they also for the glutinous rice balls?"

"Things? What things? You mean the three large wooden crates in my room?"

“That was specially prepared by my elder brother. The pastries, firecrackers, sesame cakes, and steamed buns in the morning were all prepared by my elder brother.”

"You didn't prepare this?"

"My elder brother instructed me to prepare this before I left!"

Tian Yu was surprised for a moment, but quickly realized that she was Tangyuan's mother, so it was normal for her to do these things!
