He Zhendong put his arm around his mother's shoulder and laughed, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely bring you a daughter-in-law in the future."
Yu Huiru said happily, "Then your mom will be waiting!"
To please his mother, He Zhendong readily agreed, "No problem. But you should take care of my younger sister first. In my opinion, it's unlikely you'll be able to keep her for a few more years. Han Yixian will definitely try his best to get your consent to marry her as soon as possible."
Didn't you see that he's already prepared the new house?
As the saying goes, "A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home," so what can you do to stop my little sister from marrying Han Yi first?
He Chenglin and Yu Huiru exchanged a glance; they had indeed considered this issue.
He Chenglin said, "Of course we won't object if your little sister wants to get married. When we miss her, we can come and stay at her house for a while. Anyway, you're all not home, so we can just stay with Yuhan. That would be nice."
He Zhendong looked at his parents, who were content with their daughter, and said, "Fine, you can live with whomever you want. Wherever you are, that's my home."
While the He family was talking in He Chenglin's room, Yuan Qiwen was giving a lesson to his three younger brothers, including Du Haifeng, in the dining room. After the water on the boiler room stove boiled, Yue Tingshan quickly got up and filled a kettle with hot water to take to Uncle He's room.
He was holding a thermos outside the room when he overheard the conversation of the He family inside. He lowered his head and his eyes flickered. He was disgusted by the He family's talk about Yuhan's sister marrying Han Yixian.
During his stay at Yuhan's house, he learned a lot about Yuhan and Han Yixian. Han Yixian had done things that hurt Yuhan, and she almost lost her life. But Yuhan was kind-hearted and forgave Han Yixian.
He felt that Han Yixian was not good enough for his sister Yuhan. He didn't want Yuhan to marry Han Yixian from the bottom of his heart.
But he knew he was powerless and had no influence whatsoever. Perhaps he could gain a voice if he became powerful.
He now desperately wants to become powerful. He wants to study hard and change his destiny through knowledge.
Yue Tingshan didn't listen any further, knocked on the door, went inside, and brought the hot water into the house.
When Yu Huiru saw Yue Tingshan bring hot water, she praised him, "Tingshan is so thoughtful and considerate. Don't worry about us, go and study hard with your brother Qiwen."
Yu Huiru knew that Yue Tingshan was sensitive about feeling like he was living under someone else's roof, and she also felt sorry for this handsome and sensible boy who had experienced so much hardship at such a young age, so she couldn't help but care for him. She hoped that the child could feel their care, not have any psychological burden, and could grow up happily.
He Yuhan and Han Yi returned first, and everyone came to the living room. He Zhendong pulled He Yuhan aside and said with a grin, "Yuhan, our parents said that if you want to get married, they will never object. Do you want to get married?"
He Yuhan could tell from her second brother's grinning face that he was teasing her. She said, "I don't want to get married so early. I want to spend more time with our parents."
He Chenglin and his wife were immediately satisfied upon hearing this.
Han Yixian, however, was somewhat amused and exasperated. It seemed that his path to marrying He Yuhan was still a long one.
He Yuhan looked at her second brother, who was teasing her, and said, "We brought back a lot of things in the car. Second brother, hurry up and unload the car and move the things. There are a lot of delicious things in the car."
He Zhendong's eyes lit up when he heard there was something delicious to eat. "Really? Then I'll go get some things."
Then he ran out.
Yuan Qiwen and the others also helped He Zhendong move things, and soon they had moved all the things He Yuhan had brought back into the house. In the end, the living room was filled with a lot of things.
He Yuhan said, "Dad, Mom, Brother Han and I bought some extra things. We'll have a big meal tonight to celebrate our new home."
Yu Huiru said, "Okay, Mom will help you out."
Han Yixian said, "Auntie, you don't need to do anything. You can stay with Uncle and the children. I'll help Yuhan with the work."
Yu Huiru smiled and said, "Okay, you can help Yuhan too."
He Yuhan took out some fruit, washed it, and placed it on the coffee table in the living room, saying, "Mom and Dad, eat more fruit to avoid getting a sore throat in this cold winter. Second brother, Qiwen, Tingshan, Haifeng, Haichao, you all eat too. We brought back a lot of fruit."
As she spoke, He Yuhan picked up a bright red orange and stuffed it into Yue Tingshan's hand, saying, "Tingshan, eat this orange. Just peel off the skin and you can eat it."
She then picked up a large orange and offered it to Yue Tingshan and Du Haifeng as an example.
Yue Tingshan had never eaten this kind of fruit before. In fact, he had only eaten a few kinds of fruit, including a few wild fruits that he picked himself from the mountain.
When Yue Tingshan saw Sister Yuhan looking at him, she gestured for him to peel the orange. He followed Sister Yuhan's example and easily peeled the orange, revealing the orange segments inside.
He broke off a segment of orange and put it in his mouth. Soon, a sweet, slightly sour, and fragrant taste filled his mouth. He thought it was the best fruit he had ever eaten.
He Yuhan popped an orange segment into Gu Huayang's mouth, who was standing next to her. The little guy squinted his eyes and ate it, then continued to stand next to He Yuhan's leg.
He Yuhan smiled at the little one, then looked up and asked Yue Tingshan, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Yue Tingshan squinted as he savored the delicious food, nodding emphatically and saying, "Delicious, so delicious. I've only ever eaten wild fruits that I picked myself on the mountain before, which were sour and astringent. They're nowhere near as good as this."
He Yuhan looked at the handsome young man with bright eyes, patted his head and smiled, "Then eat more, and try other fruits too, see which ones you like. Don't be shy with your older sister."
Yue Tingshan nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Yuhan. I'll help you with the chores later. I can start a fire, pick vegetables, and make pancakes. I want to learn to cook so I can cook for you in the future."
While eating an orange, Du Haifeng said, "Sis, I can cook too, I'll help you."
Du Haichao also said, "Me too, I can do it too, I can help."
Han Yi squinted as he listened to the boys vying to help He Yuhan. He hated his brother-in-laws the most; they were trying to steal his spot. He absolutely couldn't let these kids ruin his chance to be alone with Yuhan.
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Your brother Han and I will take care of the cooking. You two can play a little longer, or you can play with the two little brothers."
Yue Tingshan said, "Then I'll help entertain the little brother."
Du Haifeng said, "Then I'll go to the backyard to chop firewood and start a fire for my sister later."
Han Yixian, his face darkening, said to his brothers-in-law, "I don't need any of you to cook. I can help myself. You all go and look after the children."
Just kidding, how could he let these clueless brothers-in-law disturb his time alone with Yuhan?
