Just as Zhao Qinglan and her group left in their car, Li Huai and his group arrived.
Knowing that he was eager to go home, Sun Shengli only let him give a brief report before starting to send him away.
"Alright, let's go now. You can rest today and come back tomorrow."
Li Huai was so excited that he hurried home as soon as he left the military camp.
When he finally stood in his own yard, a smile appeared on his face.
"Qinglan, I'm back." Li Huai stepped forward and pushed open the door.
The older children were still asleep when Zhao Qinglan left, she just closed the door.
Upon entering the hall, Li Huai found it quiet, which puzzled him.
"Is he still not up?" he muttered to himself as he walked toward the bedroom.
The door opened easily, but the person he longed for was not inside. The blankets on the bed were neatly folded.
Li Huai's heart tightened, and he quickly ran to the children's room. When he opened the door and saw his two sons and Xiao Duo were there, his tense heart finally relaxed a little.
He pushed the door open suddenly, and the eldest child woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and immediately woke up. "Dad!"
The eldest child's shout woke up the second child and Xiaoduo.
"Dad, you're back!" Erwa, like a monkey, climbed off the bed without even putting on his shoes and rushed towards Li Huai.
Li Huai had no choice but to scoop up his youngest son and hold him in his arms.
"You run around without shoes, aren't you afraid the ground is cold?"
"Dad, you're finally back!" Erwa was overjoyed.
"Where's your mother?" Li Huai asked quickly.
“Mom went to the city to visit Grandma,” the eldest child replied.
"Dad, let me tell you, Mom made us..." Erwa immediately started telling his dad about the delicious food they had eaten these past few days.
Is this what Li Huai is concerned about? Of course not.
But since his son was so enthusiastic about sharing, he couldn't refuse and could only listen.
From his son's account, Li Huai finally understood how the mother and her children had been doing these past few days.
Surprisingly, the group of them are living a pretty good life.
While feeling gratified, he also felt inexplicably sad.
It seems that Qinglan has been too busy these past few days to pay attention to him.
Li Huai felt a warmth in his heart when he thought about this; he still thought about this woman all along.
Now that he's back, the children naturally won't go to sleep.
The group ate breakfast together.
Li Huai then asked his eldest son in detail about what had happened at home these past few days.
Despite his young age, the eldest child knows exactly what's important when he speaks.
Li Huai hadn't expected Zhao Qinglan to be so capable; it meant his mother-in-law's shop would be opening soon.
He also thought this was a good idea; it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.
Although he didn't mind his wife helping her mother and sister, he knew that helping them unconditionally indefinitely wasn't a long-term solution.
Now, these people have found their own livelihoods and can live a good life in the future.
Da Wa was unaware of the profit-sharing agreement the adults had made, so Li Huai now assumed that Zhao Qinglan was simply helping out and that she would be out of the picture once the snack shop opened.
Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't see anyone immediately upon returning, Li Huai became excited again, thinking that he would finally succeed that night.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhao Qinglan got out and left.
Qian Hongxia had been waiting for several days, so she naturally got off the bus and followed closely.
After walking for a while, Zhao Qinglan suddenly stopped, bent down to adjust her shoes, and while doing so, she secretly glanced behind her.
When Zhao Qinglan stopped, Qian Hongxia quickly tried to find a place to hide, but Zhao Qinglan still saw her.
When she stood up again, Zhao Qinglan looked puzzled.
Why was Qian Hongxia following her?
Unable to figure it out, Zhao Qinglan could only keep walking.
Qian Hongxia thought she had hidden herself well, so she followed them.
As she turned a corner, Zhao Qinglan blocked her way.
Upon seeing Zhao Qinglan, Qian Hongxia was startled and quickly said with an awkward laugh, "Oh my god, you almost scared me to death! What a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence," Zhao Qinglan sneered.
"Well, I have something to do, so I'll have to go on with you." With that, Qian Hongxia turned to walk around.
However, Zhao Qinglan blocked her way again. "Don't go yet?"
"What, what are you going to do?" Still shaken, Qian Hongxia immediately took a few steps back.
"Qian Hongxia, I don't care what kind of tricks you're up to now. I'm warning you, don't try to get your little schemes out of me again. Take them back now."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand." Feeling guilty, Qian Hongxia turned and ran away.
Zhao Qinglan didn't chase after her; she only watched Qian Hongxia run far away before continuing on her way to her mother.
She was really impressed with Qian Hongxia. "Can't this person just live her own life? All she does is keep an eye on others. Doesn't she get tired of it?"
Yu Huimin finally got in touch with the people, only to learn that Li Huai and the others who had gone on the mission had returned safely, which made her very regretful.
Since Li Huai was fine, she could only ask about the situation of Zhao Qinglan and the others.
Yu Huimin was also surprised to learn that Zhao Qinglan frequently went to the city.
"Why is she going into the city in this freezing weather?"
Fortunately, that person had already inquired about it for her.
Upon hearing that Zhao Qinglan had brought her mother and sister, Yu Huimin felt that she had found another fault with her, and even felt a little schadenfreude.
Ha, it just won't work if you don't marry someone of equal social standing. Li Huai is so capable, then he should help his wife's family.
I want to see for myself what kind of good future he can have, being dragged down by a group of people.
Such good eye drops, she naturally had to go to her husband and apply them to him as well.
When Li Zhenhua got home that evening, he noticed that his wife seemed preoccupied, so he couldn't help but ask her about it.
