"They're here."
Qin Nian naturally recognized Professor Wen's voice and quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
She was crying in her mother-in-law's arms just now, and she felt quite embarrassed because she was the one who was comforting others, not the one who should be comforting them.
“Grandma Niannian, I am Niannian’s teacher’s wife, and this is Niannian’s teacher.”
Professor Wen spoke softly, but his gaze subtly observed Yang Yufen's expression.
"Please come in, please come in."
Yang Yufen opened the door completely.
"You're here just in time. Help me comfort Niannian while I go make her something to eat."
Yang Yufen led the two to the front of the main house, lifted the straw curtain to let them in, and then went to the kitchen.
"Teacher, Teacher's wife, what brings you here?"
Qin Nian poured hot water for the two of them.
"The military called us and said they're here to see you. Your mother-in-law lives in the main room."
Professor Wen immediately noticed the part of the main room separated by the curtain.
"Um."
Qin Nian nodded.
"Let's go to your room."
Professor Wen gestured for her husband to stay outside, then led Qin Nian away.
The two sat down on the edge of the bed and gently closed the door.
“Niannian, your teacher’s wife is sorry for this. If you have any thoughts, tell your teacher’s wife, and she will definitely find a way to help you.”
Professor Wen got straight to the point.
"No, it's not my teacher's wife's fault. I've already discussed it with my mother-in-law. She'll stay and live with me to help take care of the children."
"What about your job? You know it's not easy for one person to raise a child. If, if Shen Xianjun doesn't come back, after a while, won't your mother-in-law really blame you?"
Professor Wen said earnestly.
“My mother-in-law said she wouldn’t stop me from working, and since I’m in charge of the data section, I can do it.”
"You can, but what about your mother-in-law?"
Professor Wen felt that Qin Nian was too naive.
“My mother-in-law is very good, Mrs. Shi. Don’t worry, I won’t be stubborn. Besides, I’m already married. It was a military marriage, and I never thought about remarrying. This is fine. My salary is enough to support my child and my mother-in-law.”
Dean Hu listened outside for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen.
"Remember her teacher, the kitchen is a mess, it'll be ready soon."
Yang Yufen made brown sugar and egg water, and although the bowl was clean, she washed it again before using it.
"Remember her mother-in-law,"
“I know what Dean Hu is going to say. I won’t stop Niannian from working. Whether it’s my son or Niannian, they are both contributing to the country. I just need to be a support person who can take good care of them. Don’t worry, Niannian is a good child, I know that very well.”
Yang Yufen interrupted Dean Hu before he could finish speaking.
Dean Hu was a knowledgeable man who, upon meeting Yang Yufen's gaze, believed her words.
If what Yang Yufen said is true, it's actually quite good. Besides, as long as Niannian is in the research institute, they can take care of her. Thinking about it this way, he didn't feel bad anymore. Instead, he started to feel a little guilty towards Yang Yufen.
"Please trouble Dean Hu to take the egg tea to them. I still need to go to the backyard to feed the chickens."
Yang Yufen placed three bowls of egg tea on the wooden board that served as a tray, and then went to the backyard to busy herself.
The two women who were talking inside heard the door open and instinctively stopped talking and looked over, only to see Dean Hu carrying in egg tea.
"Eat up. Niannian's mother-in-law went to feed the chickens. Actually, Niannian is right under our noses. We just need to take good care of her."
