Chapter 231: Ancestral Jade Plate for the Eldest Daughter-in-law
Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu returned to the ward, and Yan Shaotang had already fallen asleep.
Yan Shaoli asked curiously: "Brother, Song...what did you say?"
Yan Shaoyu ignored her and looked at Gu Yuehuai: "It's late today, you should go back first."
Gu Yuehuai frowned: "You're not going back? You didn't get a good rest yesterday."
Yan Shaoyang lay on the hospital bed and said, "Yes, brother, you should go back too. Shao Li is here, everything will be fine."
Yan Shaoyu shook his head and looked at Gu Xihuai who was holding Yan Shaotang: "Third Brother Gu, I'll trouble you to take care of Shaotang today. Shaoli, you also go back with them. I'll stay and take care of Shaoyang today."
Yan Shaoli wanted to say something, but seeing Yan Shaoyu's indifferent expression and low mood, he wisely shut his mouth.
Gu Xihuai said, "I can't take care of Shaotang. I have to stay and look after my dad. Yuehuai, you take Shaotang and Shaoli home. You know where the key is. I don't know if my brother has returned yet."
Gu Yuehuai said: "I'll stay and take care of Dad tonight, you go back."
Gu Xihuai rolled his eyes: "Is it easier for you to take care of him than for me?"
Gu Yuehuai thought about it and said nothing more. He looked at Yan Shaoyu and knew that he couldn't change his mind, so he said, "Then you guys go buy some food outside tonight, and we'll go back first."
Gu Xihuai handed the sleeping Yan Shaotang to Gu Yuehuai and said, "Go back."
When leaving the ward, Gu Yuehuai remembered something, pulled Gu Xihuai aside, and said in a low voice: "Don't make things difficult for Shaoyu after I leave. I was the one who pursued him, and he was forced."
Gu Xihuai choked and said unhappily, "Gu Yuehuai, why are you so shameless?"
Gu Yuehuai didn't care and looked at him threateningly: "Did you hear what I said?"
"Hmph, got it!" Gu Xihuai curled his lips, feeling quite sad. This sister became much more likable after she woke up, and he now truly treated her as a family member. But now, this guy is turning his elbow outward!
Gu Yuehuai felt relieved and said to Yan Shaoyu, "Let's go."
Yan Shaoyu said "hmm" and sent Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoli out of the hospital.
He stopped a donkey cart and watched the two of them sit down. Only after the cart rumbled away from Qing'an County did he turn around and go back.
In the ward on the second floor, Gu Xihuai did not leave. He was still sitting there, drinking water slowly.
It was not surprising for Yan Shaoyu to see him when he came back, so he asked Yan Shaoyang, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Yan Shaoyang said: "No need."
Yan Shaoyu nodded and said to Gu Xihuai, "Third Brother Gu, shall we go buy food together?"
Gu Xihuai did not refuse, and the two of them left the ward side by side. Yan Shaoyang sighed, he really felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere just now. Now it seemed that even someone as outstanding as his eldest brother could not escape the fate of being bullied by his mother's family.

Gu Xihuai tilted his head to look at Yan Shaoyu who had no expression on his face: "Do you know what I want to say to you?"
Yan Shaoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Yue Huai and I are indeed in a relationship now."
Gu Xihuai glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "You are quite straightforward. Aren't you afraid that I, your brother-in-law, will get angry?"
Yan Shaoyu's eyebrows moved slightly: "It's my third uncle."
Gu Xihuai choked, and before he could continue, Yan Shaoyu said, "We didn't make this decision rashly. You won't believe anything I say now. Just wait and see."
He himself was not a man who could say nice things, and he couldn't say anything flattering to Gu Xihuai.
Gu Xihuai stared at him for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's easy for me to say this, but it's my dad. He has treated Gu Yuehuai like a treasure since he was a child. He doesn't give you anything you want. It's not easy for you to get past him."
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and hummed. His tone was emotionless, as if he was not worried about this at all.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Gu Yuehuai has a good eye for finding you to be my brother-in-law." Gu Xihuai patted Yan Shaoyu's shoulder without the deliberate targeting intent just now. His face was full of satisfaction and appreciation.
He was quite good at judging people. Although Yan Shaoyu was taciturn and seemed difficult to get along with, his character should be fine, otherwise he would not have protected Yue Huai so many times in the mountains.
Yan Shaoyu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Gu Xihuai to change the subject and even praise him.
His lips were pale and slightly curved. The awe-inspiring mood he had just felt because of Song Jinan had calmed down a lot. For him, being recognized by her family was a very important thing in his life.

On the other side, Gu Yuehuai wrapped the sleeping Yan Shaotang with her own clothes, fearing that the wind on the road would catch her cold.
This action caught Yan Shaoli's attention, and she smiled a little more. She coughed a few times and said in a teasing tone, "Should I continue to call you Yue Huai, or should I change my name to sister-in-law?"
She thought that when talking about this, Gu Yuehuai would be shy. She actually raised her eyebrows, thought about it seriously and said, "If you want to change your words now, I have no objection, but there will be no red envelope for changing your words. MLZL"
Gu Yuehuai spoke in a serious tone, which made Yan Shaoli who was standing beside him stunned.
After a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she said with admiration: "Yue Huai, I really have to admit that you are so shameless! The title of sister-in-law is settled, but when can you prepare a red envelope for me to change the name, I will change it."
Gu Yuehuai laughed, her eyebrows curved, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful that people dared not look at her closely.
Yan Shaoli was stunned for a moment, then smacked his lips and thought to himself: Her elder brother and Yue Huai are both so handsome, if they really get married and have children in the future, what will her nephews and nieces look like?
After a moment, Yan Shaoli said, "By the way! Yue Huai, you must keep the jade token my brother gave you, okay?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and asked curiously, "What exactly is that jade token?"
Yan Shaoli glanced at her, then looked around, and whispered in her ear, "That jade token has a great origin. It was left by my ancestors. Only the eldest daughter-in-law in the eldest house can keep it. It is a family heirloom!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai could no longer laugh. She said with a complicated expression, "Shaoyang needs to recuperate. Have you ever thought about pawning the jade token to the consignment shop to get some money for emergency?"
Yan Shaoli frowned and said solemnly: "No matter how difficult the situation of our family is, the jade token has never been given away. Since the eldest brother has given you the jade token, it means that he has recognized you. Don't be stupid because of the second brother's matter. The jade token cannot be lost."
Gu Yuehuai fell silent, and after a moment, nodded silently.
Yan Shaoli thought she was worried about Yan Shaoyang's medical expenses, so he pursed his lips and comforted her: "Okay, don't think too much, my brother will definitely solve these problems, my brother is the best!"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her sideways. This silly girl had a blind admiration for Yan Shaoyu.
She was naturally not worried about money. With the Sumeru Space, she could make money continuously. What's more, there were all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry in it. It was not difficult to make quick money or slow money.
She just thought about how desperate Yan Shaoyu was in his previous life that made him consign the jade token and resolutely leave the brigade and join the army.
In his previous life, he had been through a lot, and he must have encountered a lot in trying to join the army amidst the many obstacles in the capital.
