Yuan Qiliang's tone was somewhat stern, and Du Yuhan immediately knew that Yuan Qiliang was dissatisfied with her, so she quickly said, "I remember, I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Han Yixian looked at his cousin blaming Du Yuhan and said with a sullen face, "You don't need to blame Yuhan. I'm the one who told them to go. Besides, even if Liu Gang were at home, do you think he could be a match for those people? There might even be unnecessary casualties."
Yuan Qiliang could tell at a glance that his cousin was angry; he was unhappy that he had scolded Du Yuhan.
He glanced at his cousin's concerned look at Du Yuhan and thought to himself: "Cousin doesn't want his darling to suffer. It seems that cousin has really fallen for this little girl, Du Yuhan."
Yuan Qiliang looked at Du Yuhan again. The girl had grown taller, at least 1.6 meters, with a well-proportioned and graceful figure. Her face had also blossomed, making her very beautiful—a true beauty. Plus, she was always so attentive and caring towards her cousin; no wonder he had fallen for her.
Yuan Qiliang realized he couldn't say anything more. What if Du Yuhan became his cousin's wife in the future and held a grudge, causing his cousin to punish him?
He couldn't withstand his cousin's scheming.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qiliang quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Hehe, Yuhan, I was just too worried and spoke a bit harshly. Don't take it to heart."
Du Yuhan waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, you're right. Brother Han really can't be without someone by his side in the future. Nothing is more important than Brother Han's safety."
Not wanting Du Yuhan to suffer any injustice, Yuan Qiwen said from the side, "Yuhan is doing this for the good of the family. She planted some potatoes in the mountains, and they're ready to be harvested."
The autumn harvest is almost over, and Yuhan was worried that people would go to the mountains to find food and discover that her potatoes were being dug up, which would make all her hard work pointless. So we went into the mountains to dig potatoes.
Good heavens, those potatoes are huge and plentiful! We've only dug up a little over half of them all morning.
Upon hearing that they were going to get food, Yuan Qiliang quickly asked, "What about the potatoes?"
Yuan Qiwen said, "We heard gunshots coming from the courtyard and rushed back. We still left the potatoes and our equipment in the mountains."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiliang's eyes widened and he quickly said, "Then hurry up and get it back! What if someone else finds out and takes it away? It's food!"
Han Yixian, not expecting that Du Yuhan had planted potatoes in the mountains, said, "Qiliang is at home with me, that's enough. You guys hurry up and dig up the potatoes, and bring the stuff back as soon as possible. It will be difficult once all the farmers around here have gone into the mountains."
Du Yuhan said, "Liu Gang and Qiwen, you two go back to the mountains now. I'll bring you the food as soon as I've cooked it."
After saying that, Du Yuhan went into the kitchen to cook.
Liu Gang and Yuan Qiwen also hurriedly ran into the mountains, fearing that if someone took the potatoes, they would regret it too late.
Only Han Yixian and Yuan Qiliang remained in the room. Han Yixian said, "Qiliang, watch your words in the future. Yuhan is a girl, and she can't take your words."
Yuan Qiliang grinned and whispered to his cousin, "Cousin, have you fallen for Du Yuhan? She's really grown up now, and she's quite a beauty. She's good in every other way too. She's good enough to be my cousin's wife."
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at his cousin and said, "Are you bored? Looks like I should find you something to do. I think you should find a partner to keep you in check."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiliang quickly waved his hand and said, "Cousin, I was wrong. Please forgive my rudeness. I will never say such things again."
Han Yi snorted and said, "You'd better keep your mouth shut, or you'll regret it."
Yuan Qiliang nodded hastily, terrified. If his cousin really wanted to mess with him, he'd be in deep trouble.
However, thinking of something, he sneakily approached Han Yixian and said, "Cousin, there's something you definitely want to know. If you tell me whether you like Du Yuhan, I'll tell you."
Looking at his cousin's eyes, which were sparkling with gossip and excitement, Han Yixian said cheerfully, "Then remember this: Yuhan will be your cousin's wife in the future. Be careful not to let it slip and scare Yuhan. And don't tell anyone else, not even your aunt."
Yuan Qiliang was overjoyed to receive a clear answer from his cousin. He thought it was wonderful that his cousin had met a girl he liked, and then whispered, "Cousin, you don't know, but my mom initially chose Yuhan under the guise of finding you a wife."
She knew Yuhan was mistreated at home, so she would be grateful and take good care of you if you came to our house. Besides, Yuhan is very capable and knows how to take care of people at home, and she's not bad-looking either, which is why my mom chose Yuhan. My mom gave her grandmother a sum of money as a bride price.
The reason I didn't tell you was because I was afraid you'd be put off. Besides, my mom clearly told Yuhan that if you don't like her and don't marry her, my mom will find her a job or find her a good family to marry into.
My mom said, "Even though you have mobility issues, you can't just find any wife."
Han Yixian never expected that Du Yuhan was the young wife his aunt had arranged for him, and that there was such an agreement between his aunt and Du Yuhan.
What were Yu Han's feelings when she came to his side? Was she willing to be his wife?
He didn't see any affection for him in Du Yuhan's eyes. Perhaps she simply didn't think she would marry him in the end.
Yes, if he hadn't been injured and disabled and was still in the army, the Han family wouldn't have even considered a girl like Du Yuhan from a good family. His mother would never have agreed to him marrying Du Yuhan.
He knew Du Yuhan was very mature, and he guessed she had already considered this. She knew he would recover sooner or later, so she would never consider marrying him. Therefore, she wouldn't allow herself to fall in love with him.
