After lunch, He Yuhan took the three children to take a nap, and several elders also went for a rest. Han Yixian chatted with Zhou Zhengye.
The two sat at the coffee table, drinking tea and chatting.
Han Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Are you just going to stay here all by yourself? Don't you want to bring your wife over? How can you have children if you don't live together? Don't you want a child of your own?"
Honestly, having your own child feels really great; it's a necessary stage in life.
Zhou Zhengye shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yixian, I don't even want to talk to her now, let alone be with her. The thought of my child being born from her makes me unconsciously repulsed."
Han Yixian frowned upon hearing this and said, "Since you are already married, you have to be responsible for your wife and your family."
Your thinking is flawed. If you don't want to nurture your marriage, how can you expect to have a good life? If your wife isn't up to par, then train her properly; I refuse to believe that's too difficult for you. Unless you don't want a good marriage at all.
Zhou Zhengye looked down at the teacup in front of him for a long time before finally saying, "The problem is, I don't like her at all. I thought that even if I didn't like her, I would develop feelings for her after we got married and spent more time together."
My demands aren't high; even just being polite and respectful to each other would be enough. But now I realize how difficult that is. Watching her throw tantrums and act unreasonably, being with her feels like torture.
Han Yixian sighed as he looked at Zhou Zhengye's troubled expression and said, "We all have our own responsibilities, and many times we are not in control of our own lives. The Wang family is currently riding high, so you shouldn't fall out with them, otherwise your family will also be implicated. So even if you don't want to, you have to endure it."
Besides, you agreed to the marriage back then, so if something bad happens to you now, it will be detrimental to both you and the Zhou family.
Since she doesn't want to come here with you, then consider this a peaceful escape. However, this isn't a long-term solution. You can't hide here forever. If she changes her mind and actually comes looking for you, you should be prepared.
Zhou Zhengye leaned back against the sofa and said in a deep voice, "Let's take it one day at a time. Maybe she won't be able to stand the loneliness and will break up with me on her own. The Wang family is riding high right now, and there are plenty of people trying to curry favor with them, including many so-called young talents."
Now that I'm in such a remote place, they might think I've been exiled to the frontier and have no future. They might be disappointed and dissatisfied with me, and eventually kick me out as their son-in-law.
Honestly, I envy you now. You have a beautiful wife and young children, with parents and friends by your side, living a warm and harmonious life.
Han Yi smiled gently, thinking of his wife and children, and said, "I owe my current life to Yuhan. Yuhan helped me find my mother, and she also pointed out many suspicious points about Zeng Yufen and the others, which led to the discovery of a series of events and allowed our whole family to be reunited. This is how we have the happy life we have now."
I came here to maintain our peaceful and happy life. After having Yuhan and our child, I realized that nothing is more important than their safety and happiness. I will do everything in my power to protect them from the storms of life.
Besides, Yuhan isn't a weak woman who just needs protection; she's someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me.
What Han Yixian didn't say was that his wife was a woman who was just as capable as any man, and her abilities were in no way inferior to his. He felt very lucky and happy to have such an extraordinary woman by his side.
He didn't want to say anything too provocative to Zhou Zhengye, since Zhou Zhengye's life was so unsatisfactory right now, and if he said anything more, it would seem like he was showing off.
Zhou Zhengye stayed until after 4 p.m., having spent the whole day at the Han family's house. He chatted with Han Yixian and noticed that He Yuhan's mood had improved considerably.
But he couldn't help feeling jealous that Han Yixian had won He Yuhan's love and had children with her. Thinking of the clever and adorable little Xu Rui, Zhou Zhengye felt a pang of envy. How wonderful it would be if he were his son.
The day after Zhou Zhengye left, Han Yixian and He Yuhan went into the mountains again. He wanted to prepare more meat for his family before going to the county to start work.
Their entry into the mountains was also to provide cover for He Yuhan taking things out of her spatial storage. He Yuhan had plenty of prey such as pheasants and rabbits in her spatial storage, so even if she couldn't catch any in the mountains, she could still take them out.
However, with Han Yixian and He Yuhan, two skilled hunters, they were like fish in water when they went into the mountains, and catching prey was a piece of cake.
In order to have pork to eat, the two even hunted a smaller wild boar, and then carried their prey home after nightfall.
This time, Han Yixian and his group did not intend to contribute any more game to the village. They believed that a little kindness was appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment, and they did not want the villagers to become dependent on them.
When Han Xiao saw his son and daughter-in-law carrying a wild boar and several pheasants and rabbits back, he quickly helped carry the prey into the yard.
He Chenglin was startled when he saw his daughter and son-in-law bring back a large wild boar. However, considering how capable his daughter and son-in-law were, he figured the wild boar was just unlucky to have met them and would only be able to offer up its meat.
Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru had already prepared dinner, and they were getting worried when Han Yixian and the others hadn't returned by nightfall. They were quite surprised to see the couple return, carrying a large object.
Wen Jinyu quickly pulled He Yuhan up and down and asked, "Yuhan, are you and Yixian hurt?"
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Mom, this little wild boar can't hurt us. I can handle it all by myself."
Wen Jinyu said, "That's too dangerous. We have to be careful in the future. Yixian is the same, taking you on an adventure."
