Su Huaiyue couldn't help but sigh. He had such thoughts at such a young age. He was indeed a child who grew up in the Wei family. The original owner's short-lived ex-husband was really lucky to have given birth to two such clever kids.
She squatted down gently, took Wei Zhi and Wei Li into her arms, and said gently, "Zhi'er, Li'er, it's great that you care about your uncle so much now. Protecting others doesn't just rely on strength, it also requires wisdom and courage. As you grow up, work hard to learn good skills, so that you can protect more people in the future."
After hearing this, Wei Zhi nodded thoughtfully, raised his head, and looked at Su Huaiyue with a firm look: "Mother, I will work hard. When I grow up, I must become very strong so that no one dares to bully us."
Wei Li also echoed in a baby voice: "I also want to protect mother, uncle, and brother."
Su Huaiyue looked at the two children's serious expressions, her heart filled with warmth and her eyes slightly moist.
She touched Wei Zhi's head and pinched Wei Li's cheek: "Okay, mother believes in you. Now, go back to the tent and sleep, get enough rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."
Although the two children were a little reluctant, they still obediently got into the tent.
Before leaving, Wei Zhi did not forget to remind her: "Mom, you should also rest early and don't be too tired."
Su Huaiyue looked at their backs with a happy smile on her face.
After the children entered the tent, she stood up and turned to look at Wei Che.
At this moment, Wei Che's gaze was on her, with a special tenderness in his eyes.
"You are really good at educating children." Wei Che praised sincerely, "Zhi'er and Li'er are lucky to have a mother like you."
Su Huaiyue shook her head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just doing the best I can. Sometimes, I worry that I'm not doing well enough and that I'm letting them down."
Wei Che took a step forward and looked at her firmly: "You are doing very well, everything is slowly getting better. The children respect and love you, and the family trusts you."
Su Huaiyue turned to look at Wei Che, "Alright, go to bed early. However, although this ointment is effective, you still have to keep warm, otherwise the wound will easily recur."
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue, his heart filled with emotion.
From the tit-for-tat when they first met to the caring each other now, the relationship between them has changed dramatically without them realizing it.
He said softly: "Thanks to you along the way, I..."
Wei Che's voice was a little low, with a hint of emotion in his words.
Su Huaiyue shook her head slightly and interrupted him: "Don't say such polite words, we are a family, and we should support each other."
Her eyes were firm and warm, as if expressing an unshakable belief.
Wei Che nodded slightly. He knew that no amount of words could express his feelings at the moment.
The moonlight fell on the two of them, outlining two slender shadows, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Su Huaiyue couldn't help shivering.
Seeing this, Wei Che immediately took off his cloak and gently draped it over her shoulders: "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."
Su Huaiyue wanted to refuse, but met Wei Che's determined gaze, and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Thank you."
The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind: [Congratulations host, favorability +3%]
Listening to the system prompt, Su Huaiyue couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She patted Wei Che's shoulder and said, "Go back to the tent and rest. You can't take your leg injury lightly."
Wei Che nodded, but did not turn around immediately: "You should also rest early."
After saying that, he watched Su Huaiyue walk into the tent before turning around and going back.
Little did they know that this scene was seen by Wei Ersao. Her intuition was always accurate and she always felt that there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
Seeing the old lady drinking tea, he went straight over and said, "Grandma, I just saw Su Huaiyue and Wei Che talking outside the tent. Wei Che even gave his cloak to Su Huaiyue. There's something wrong with them."
Mrs. Wei Er thought about how Su Huaiyue had tortured her before, and there was a hint of cunning and eagerness in her eyes. She hoped that the old lady would come forward to teach Su Huaiyue a lesson so that the jealousy in her heart could be calmed.
Old Madam Wei slowly put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at Mrs. Wei Er, her eyes revealing a deep insight into the world.
She pursed her lips gently and said slowly, "Nifeng, you're overthinking it again. Huaiyue and Wei Che are both sensible children, and it's only natural for them to take care of each other along the way. It's cold at night, and it's perfectly normal for Wei Che to put a cloak on Huaiyue. There's no need for all the twists and turns you're talking about."
Wei Yunrou also spoke to Su Huaiyue, pouting at her second sister-in-law, "That's right, second sister-in-law. Don't you know how much our eldest sister-in-law has done for us along the way? Besides, the weather is cold, and my brother's legs hurt again. My eldest sister-in-law helped me, so it's normal for me to be grateful. You can't think everything is dirty just because of your own heart!"
When Wei Ersao heard this, she was dissatisfied. "You didn't see the look in their eyes, the flirting between them. It's not the behavior that a brother-in-law and his eldest sister-in-law should have."
Madam Wei's face darkened slightly, and her voice took on a hint of majesty. "Nifeng, don't make random assumptions and ruin the harmony of our family. Huaiyue has been devoted to all of us since she was exiled. It's understandable that she helps take care of Wei Che's leg injury that has recurred. If you have nothing to do, help out more and stop gossiping."
After being scolded by the old lady, Wei Ersao's face turned pale and red, and she was full of grievance and unwillingness.
She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but seeing the old lady's unquestionable expression, she swallowed her words back. She could only sulk inwardly and went back to bed and covered herself with the quilt.
The night wind howled all night long. In the early morning, every family got up and started to make fire and cook breakfast. The third and fourth sisters-in-law got up early and borrowed pots from other families to prepare breakfast for the Wei family.
The third sister-in-law came to call Su Huaiyue. Su Huaiyue turned around and looked at the two sleeping little ones. Her voice became much softer. "Zhi'er, Li'er, get up. We will set off after breakfast."
Wei Zhi has a high level of self-discipline and got up quickly.
On the other hand, Wei Li usually doesn't get grumpy when waking up, but I don't know what's wrong with him today.
Su Huaiyue touched Wei Li's arm and found that her body temperature was a little hot.
The third sister-in-law also came over and asked, "What happened to Li'er?"
"It's a bit hot, I guess I have a fever."
"Lier, what's wrong? Tell mother, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Su Huaiyue asked anxiously, her voice trembling.
Wei Li forced himself to open his eyes and said weakly, "Mother, I have a headache and no strength..."
Su Huaiyue was extremely anxious and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
She knew that in this remote place, a child's illness was no small matter. If she wasn't careful, the condition could worsen and become disastrous.
