The three of them sat around the stove eating spicy pork rib hot pot.
"Second Brother, would you like some drinks?" Lu Jinyuan asked.
Ran Xuesong thought it was boring to drink alone: "I'm not drinking anymore."
Ran Jinnian threw away some more radishes, green vegetables, and vermicelli.
The three of them ate and chatted.
Ran Jinnian brought up the He family's affairs, which of course had to be told to Lu Jinyuan, since they were his maternal grandmother, maternal uncle, and others.
"Jinyuan, you won't blame your little sister for making the decision on her own, will you?" Ran Xuesong asked when Lu Jinyuan remained silent.
Lu Jinyuan shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "I just didn't expect the He family to bully my mother and wife while I was away."
He was three years old when he was kicked out of the He family's house. Although he was young at the time, he remembered it very clearly.
"You little brat, stop crying, get out of here." He forgot who kicked him, and he fell down the high steps. Half of his face was swollen for several days before it went down.
The curses from the He family echoed in my ears.
He didn't resent them, but he felt disheartened.
“What they did was unethical, but don’t worry, it won’t come to you,” Ran Xuesong said.
"It's okay if you make a fuss about it here."
Lu Jinyuan looked at Ran Jinnian with tender eyes and said, "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
“Family matters are my matters too.” Ran Jinnian said, “Put the pot away, I’ll take out two honeycomb briquettes.”
"I'll do it."
Ran Xuesong put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief, and lifted the pot.
Ran Jinnian used tongs to remove two pieces of honeycomb briquettes, which reduced the fire and stopped the pot from boiling so vigorously.
"The ribs are stewed until they're very tender, Second Brother, have some more." Ran Jinnian put a piece on each of their plates.
"It smells so good."
The three of them ate with great relish.
Ran Jinnian finished eating quickly. Seeing that Lu Jinyuan and her second brother were still eating, she brought a plate of hot water for An'an to take a bath.
Bathing the little guy is simple; just rinse him off.
Ran Jinnian tidied up the little guy and played with him for a while.
Lu Jinyuan and Ran Xuesong had just finished eating.
"I'll clean up." Ran Xuesong quickly cleared away the dishes and took the stove to the kitchen.
Ran Jinnian walked into the kitchen: "Second brother, let me do it."
"You've been traveling for several days, go and rest."
Ran Xuesong rolled up his sleeves. The men in the Ran family were all hardworking and not chauvinistic.
"Then I'll go make your bed." Ran Jin thought that the bed in the second bedroom hadn't been made yet, so she took out a quilt from the closet and made the bed.
After she finished, Ran Xuesong also washed the dishes and chopsticks.
"Second Brother, this toothbrush, cup, and handkerchief are all new. You can use the basin, and you can wear Lu Jinyuan's slippers." Ran Jinnian handed him more things.
Ran Xuesong took it: "You don't need to worry about me, go and get some rest."
"What's the rush? I haven't washed up yet," Ran Jinnian said with a smile.
After washing up together, the three of them went back to their respective rooms.
Only then did the young couple have time to whisper sweet nothings to each other.
Lu Jinyuan couldn't hold back any longer: "Wife, you weren't hurt on the train, were you?"
"No, you forgot, I have a spatial ability." Ran Jinnian was genuinely unharmed, just a little scared at the time.
Lu Jinyuan hugged her and buried his head in her neck: "Do you know? When I found out you had arrested five armed bad guys, I was so scared."
He knew his wife had a private space, but he was still afraid she would get hurt.
"Jinyuan, I'm sorry, but I saw that those people all had guns. If I let them go, who knows how many more people they might harm next time."
At that moment, Ran Jinnian had only one thought in her mind: she couldn't let these bad guys get away.
