Wen Jinyu was happy to see that her elder brother liked this place. She owed her brother so much in this life, and hoped that he could have a peaceful place to retire in peace. She would also be at peace knowing that her son would take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Wen Jinyu laughed and said, "With your knowledge and skills, you could easily be a primary school teacher. When I'm not sick, I can take turns teaching the children with you. I never dared to dream of such a life before. It's a blessing from heaven that I can still enjoy my son's blessings in my old age."
Liu Zhongyi said, "Sister, Yixian will definitely tell his father about you when he gets back, and Han Xiao will definitely come looking for you. If he resolves all the troubles at home, you two can get back together."
You've already missed half of each other's lives; you should cherish the rest of your time together.
Wen Jinyu frowned upon hearing her sworn brother's words. "I wonder what he'll think when he finds out. Besides, he has a wife and children at home, which isn't easy to resolve. I don't want him to act impulsively because of me."
Liu Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "You're just worrying unnecessarily. Han Xiao today is not the same Han Xiao as he was decades ago. He'll handle it. Zeng Yufen has deceived him for so many years, he definitely won't swallow this insult. Just you wait and see, Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan are definitely not going to get along."
However, they should be punished for doing such a despicable thing, otherwise where is justice? Because of them, you and Yixian and his mother have been separated for decades. Who can make up for this suffering?
From Yi Xian's words, Han Xiao has been searching for you, which means he hasn't let go of you. I also hope that you two can be together in the end. Otherwise, your life will be too bitter. You've waited for him for most of your life. I hope you can be happy in the second half of your life.”
Although Liu Zhongyi advised Wen Jinyu in this way, he was not entirely certain that Han Xiao had not changed his mind and had never forgotten Wen Jinyu.
Wen Jinyu said, "Decades have passed. I am already content that I can see Yixian again and that my son and I can recognize each other. I will not ask for anything else."
"With our son and daughter-in-law taking care of us, we can stay here peacefully and worry about the future later."
Today was also a day to welcome her mother-in-law home, so He Yuhan prepared a very lavish dinner and invited her adoptive parents' family and Uncle Liang's family to join her for dinner.
It's good for everyone to get to know each other so we can look out for each other.
That night, Wen Jinyu slept with the child as usual. He Yuhan let her mother-in-law stay in the east room, while she and Han Yixian and his wife stayed in the room next door. Liu Zhongyi stayed in the west room.
After a good night's sleep, He Yuhan had breakfast and then showed her mother-in-law what was in the house. "Mom, all this is for you. Please help yourselves. We'll prepare more after you've finished eating. My uncle is getting old and is so thin; he needs to take care of himself and get some nutrition."
Looking at the bags of grain piled up in the storage room, Wen Jinyu said, "We can't eat all this grain. You can take some. We're getting old and won't be doing any physical labor anymore, so we can't eat much."
You young people get hungry quickly, so don't let us burden you and cause you to go hungry.
Seeing her mother-in-law's anxious expression, He Yuhan knew that the elders were worried about them, so she said, "Mom, don't worry, we don't lack food. You can eat this food without worry."
Wen Jinyu was amazed at how generous her daughter-in-law was to her. In such a year of food shortage, she had left them so much food, something that would have been absolutely impossible for a stingy person.
Wen Jinyu pulled her son aside and asked in a low voice, "Yixian, did you buy those grains in the storage room, or did Yuhan buy them?"
Han Yixian told the truth: "Yuhan bought all of this. Your daughter-in-law is even more capable than your son, so you don't need to worry about not having enough food. When Yuhan said she was saving it for you, she meant it, so you can eat without worry."
Besides, Yuhan is right. Your uncle is more than ten years older than you; he's not young anymore. Even though he won't have to work so hard anymore, he still needs to be well-nourished to live a long life. Your uncle is a benefactor to our family; we must take good care of him.”
Wen Jinyu nodded, her nose stinging with tears, and said, "Without your uncle, I would have been a pile of dust long ago. Although the Wen family took him in at first, he repaid the Wen family when they were in trouble."
"I haven't been able to do much work these past few years; your uncle has been supporting me. Although he's my sworn brother, he's more than a blood brother to me."
Han Yi put his arm around his mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, we'll take care of you from now on. We'll definitely take care of Uncle in his old age and make sure he has someone to rely on and be cared for in his old age. No one will ever hurt you again."
Han Yixian still had work to do, so after making arrangements for his mother and uncle, he took He Yuhan back to the city. This trip to Laohewan Village was very fruitful; not only did they find their biological mother, but they also made arrangements for their lives.
The next day after starting work, Han Yixian made the most of his time to handle his work and try to free up two or three days to go to Kyoto.
Han Yixian was very worried about what his mother had asked him to do. After all, the Wen family had been gone for decades, and he didn't know what their original residence looked like now. He wondered if those things were still there.
A few days later, Han Yi first arranged his work and then secretly drove with He Yuhan to Kyoto. This time, no one knew they had gone to Kyoto.
Han Yixian did not drive directly into Kyoto, fearing that someone would recognize his car and expose his whereabouts.
He had made arrangements in advance, parking the car at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Kyoto. They waited there for a while before someone came to pick them up. The car then took them directly to the gate of a traditional courtyard house in Kyoto.
This courtyard house is not the same one that Han Yixian and He Yuhan stayed in last time. Han Yixian changed his residence to keep his whereabouts secret.
Han Yi first took out the key, opened the courtyard gate, and pulled He Yuhan into the courtyard.
After closing the door, He Yuhan noticed that this courtyard was a bit smaller than the one she had stayed in last time, but it was very clean and looked more refined. There was also a tree in the courtyard, which had grown many green leaves, adding a lot of color to the courtyard. She wondered what the house was like inside.
He Yuhan asked, "Brother Han, is this yard also yours?"
Han Yi nodded and said, "This is a courtyard that I secretly built myself. I've only stayed here a few times. Most people don't know about this place, so it's the safest place for us to stay."
I've already had the room cleaned; we'll stay here for a couple of days.
He Yuhan nodded and said, "I'm fine with staying anywhere, it's only for two days anyway. Besides, there's still room."
Han Yi first opened the door to the room and looked around. The room was very clean. The sheets on the bed were all freshly made.
Han Yixian went to check the kitchen again and saw that there were grains and vegetables inside. They could cook for themselves without any problem.
