Upon hearing this, Qu Huaiyuan stiffened and glanced at Zhu Yuan with a puzzled look.
However, he wasn't interested in Zhuyuan's family affairs. He simply said with a light laugh, "I see! Since we'll move here, and your house is close by, you can come over often!"
Zhu Yuan glanced at him displeasedly and said coldly, "Of course!"
Now, when Qu Huaiyuan comes to his home, he even invites him to be a guest at his home.
However, he was not interested in verbal disputes and was unwilling to argue with Qu Huaiyuan about them.
She simply played with the children, which made them laugh and roll around from time to time.
"I just saw Aunt Li leave with red eyes, did something happen?"
Zhen Wanwan has fully recovered and is sitting to the side drinking milk tea, watching Zhu Yuan play with the children.
Hearing Qu Huaiyuan's words, he simply smiled and replied, "It's nothing important. My mother is probably crying tears of joy."
They traveled thousands of miles to come here and live a peaceful life.
Elderly people, in particular, only feel that they have roots after settling down and having a home.
His mother was also crying tears of joy today, so Qu Huaiyuan did not doubt whether Old Lady Li was happy or sad.
Zhu Yuan had been silently observing their conversation, but other thoughts were swirling in his mind.
Rou'er walked over with a smile, curtsied to Zhen Wanwan, and said happily, "My lady, a banquet has been set up at the entrance of the village. The old lady asked me to come and invite you over!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Zhen Wanwan skillfully picked up the waist stool and was about to put it on herself when Qu Huaiyuan beat her to it.
"I haven't seen my darlings and sweeties in so long. Let me hold them for a bit, so you can have your hands free to eat!"
The two little ones never pick and choose who to take care of, so when they're in the yard, everyone is eager to look after them.
Even during meals, they would vie to carry each other. The two children had always liked Qu Huaiyuan, and this wasn't the first time he had helped her take care of the children during mealtimes.
Therefore, Zhen Wanwan was not surprised. However, things were different now. In the past, when they were in the courtyard and the door was closed, they were all family.
Now, there are many more eyes watching in Meizi Village. Even though she doesn't care about her reputation anymore, she will not agree to let Qu Huaiyuan help her take care of her child in public.
"Brother Qu, don't try to take it from me this time. Your status is different now. You're a teacher at the academy, after all. How can you help me take care of my child?"
"Give me the baby carrier! I'll have Granny Zhang bring one for me later!"
Zhen Wanwan took the baby chair back and put it on herself, unaware that Qu Huaiyuan, who had been rejected, showed signs of hurt on his face.
Before Qu Huaiyuan could speak again, Zhu Yuan, carrying the child, rushed ahead of him and untied the baby carrier from Zhen Wanwan's body.
They didn't realize at all that their behavior was intimate.
"Is this how you tie it?"
He put the baby carrier on himself; it was probably his first time using it, so his movements were a little clumsy.
Zhen Wanwan looked at him in surprise. Was this man planning to help her carry the baby in front of everyone?
"What's wrong? Did I recite it wrong?"
Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, Zhu Yuan asked uncertainly.
"Uh...no, that's exactly it!"
As she spoke, Zhenwan helped him adjust the belt of the waist stool and explained it to him.
Qu Huaiyuan stared at the glaring scene before him, feeling as if the weather was gloomy.
When did this dangerous man get so close to Zhen Niangzi?
Even my adorable baby and sweet baby are so dependent on him!
Even Zhen Niangzi...
Qu Huaiyuan suppressed his thoughts, simply because the idea was too absurd!
However, Zhen Wanwan's attitude towards him and Zhu Yuan made Qu Huaiyuan frown and feel flustered.
He didn't know what happened while he was away.
However, he seemed to have thought of something, so he suppressed his fluctuating emotions and stood calmly to the side.
I could inexplicably sense his joy.
However, Zhen Wanwan was unaware of all this. At this moment, she arrived at the village entrance with Zhu Yuan, who was holding two children, and Qu Huaiyuan and Rou'er.
All eyes turned to him. Qu Huaiyuan was already shining brightly as soon as he became a teacher at the county school.
Zhu Yuan's sharp aura was even more imposing, but he deliberately concealed this sharpness, and his temperament became much gentler.
With his handsome face, he still attracts a lot of attention.
With two children hanging on his back, everyone present, adults and children alike, stared at him intently.
Many of the young women and wives looked at him with shining eyes; a man like that must love his wife dearly!
Not only is he handsome, but he's also so good to his wife and children; he's practically every woman's dream man!
Grandma Li was extremely proud as she watched this scene unfold; this man was her future son-in-law!
But the thought of his daughter's illness dampened his joy considerably.
She wiped her hands on her apron before coming forward.
"Xiao Yuan, come sit here! The feast is about to begin! Give me the child, Granny Zhang, please help me!"
Zhu Yuan smiled and stopped Old Lady Li, shaking his head and refusing, "Auntie, you don't need to worry. The two children can't be left alone. I'll take care of them!"
"Besides, I'm strong, so it won't interfere with my eating, and you and Wan'er can eat properly too..."
These words deeply touched Old Mrs. Li's heart. Seeing that her future son-in-law was so considerate, she felt relieved.
She had always been worried about Zhen Wanwan's future life and wanted to find her an obedient son-in-law.
The appearance of Zhuyuan has perfectly solved this problem.
Therefore, Grandma Li patted Zhu Yuan's hand happily and said, "Good child! With you here, I can rest assured."
Zhen Fuyu, who had been helping out from the sidelines, rolled her eyes as if she had solved some mystery.
Only the simple-minded Grandpa Zhen and his wife Zhen Fugui believed that Zhuyuan had won over Old Lady Li's heart.
He wanted to find a husband for his younger sister, but in Grandpa Zhen's heart, the best candidate for son-in-law was someone else.
There were many people today, so everyone ate at separate tables. Zhen Wanwan was assigned to a table with a group of young wives.
The young woman on the table was about the same age as her, but her eldest child was already old enough to go up the mountain to catch fish.
"You're new to Guangling County, aren't you?"
The woman sitting to Zhen Wanwan's left looked her up and down with a faint smile on her face, but if you looked closely, you would know that the smile did not reach her eyes.
When someone struck up a conversation with her, Zhen Wanwan smiled and replied, "Yes! My aunt's family lives in Guangling County, so I came here!"
She gave a brief explanation, her attention occasionally drifting to Guabao and Tianbao.
The woman who had spoken earlier also noticed this scene, pursed her lips, and teased, "That must be your husband! He's really handsome! And he seems to have a good temper too!"
Zhen Wanwan glanced at Zhu Yuan, and their eyes met.
