On my way home.
Xiao Yichen kept greeting all the aunties, older women, and sisters-in-law.
"Yes, this is my mom, this is my wife, this is my daughter. Yes, yes, she's not leaving, she's coming with me to join the army!"
"Yes, Auntie, my mom and the others have come. Yes, that's what it feels like to have a home."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. If we really need anything, I'll come find you right away!"
"Okay, okay, my mom will go see my aunt if she has time!"
Aunt Xiao followed behind, and she exchanged a few pleasantries with her.
The moment the older sisters called out "older sister," the atmosphere instantly felt much closer.
Aunt Xiao would invite those she found pleasing to the eye or those she felt a connection with to her home.
Su Ruobai held Baodan and listened to their chatter.
She doesn't like these things.
But I don't mind if others do it.
What she liked was the big mountain behind her.
I just don't know if there's anything in the mountains, given how densely populated this area is.
After they returned home, Su Ruobai looked after the children, while Xiao Yichen and his aunt started cooking.
Su Ruobai volunteered to show off her cooking skills, after all, the person coming to eat today was her own brother.
Aunt Xiao smiled and placed the baby in her arms, advising, "You just need to hold the baby. There's no need for you here. Besides, your distant cousin is coming, so you can't be the one cooking!"
Su Ruobai touched her nose, feeling a little guilty.
"Um, Mom, I have something to tell you?"
"What's wrong?" Aunt Xiao was scraping fish scales with a knife.
He didn't even lift his head.
Xiao Yichen was also picking vegetables on the side.
Hearing his wife speak so formally, he even looked up.
"What's wrong?"
Su Ruobai looked at the kitchen knife in Aunt Xiao's hand.
This was just sharpened; it's very sharp.
"Mom, put the knife down first, I'll finish what I'm saying before you get back to work!"
Su Ruobai sincerely tried to persuade him.
What she said was a bit shocking, and she was afraid that the old man might get excited and grab her hand.
Aunt Xiao still didn't look up and continued scaling the fish: "Go ahead and talk, it's nothing. Your mother has seen it all, you can't scare me!"
Su Ruobai remained silent.
Anyway, the fish scales are almost all gone.
Let's talk about it when it's all set up.
Aunt Xiao, on the other hand, didn't hear anything and looked up, stopping what she was doing.
"Fine, fine, I quit. Okay, what's up?"
Su Ruobai glanced at Xiao Yichen, then at Aunt Xiao.
Take a deep breath.
"That Zhao Cheng isn't my distant cousin, he's my biological brother!"
With a thud, Xiao Yichen fell off the small stool.
Aunt Xiao quickly put down the knife and fish in her hand to help him up.
He was still complaining: "What's wrong with you, kid? How old are you? How can you still sit on a chair crookedly!"
Honestly, he's so old, and a soldier at that, how come he's so useless?
His son's superiors just promoted him, could they have been fooled?
How can someone like this be a battalion commander?
Xiao Yichen was unaware of his mother's complaints; if he had known...
He didn't care about finding out; he just felt like the sky had fallen!
Heavens above, earth below!
How could you do this!
The young man whom he was giving extra training and special attention to every day turned out to be his brother-in-law!
Is it a biological relationship?
How could it be like this!
Oh my god, I didn't do anything wrong!
If you had told me earlier that this was your brother-in-law, you would have been better off.
He will definitely still be a key figure in his development!
But it will definitely be treated with gentleness and kindness.
It's definitely not about adding extra food so abruptly!
How are people supposed to live like this?!
As for complaining about why his wife didn't say so sooner...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If his wife doesn't say anything, she must have just found out, or she must have some reason for it.
However, in the end, I still had to struggle a bit: "Honey, are you serious?"
Su Ruobai helped Xiao Yichen up.
There was definitely a little bit of guilt involved.
"Yes, really, I only found out about it recently."
Let's take another look at Aunt Xiao.
I felt even more guilty.
"Mom, do you remember when Baodan was a month old, a distant aunt of mine came over?"
Aunt Xiao definitely remembers it. That pomp and circumstance, that demeanor, she's no ordinary person.
Aunt Xiao had also privately speculated about the relationship between this person and her daughter-in-law.
However, as long as the daughter-in-law doesn't deny it, then she doesn't know.
Basically, she believes whatever her husband, Xiao Su, says.
Xiao Yichen didn't know.
"What relatives?"
Su Ruobai: "It's the one I told you last time, the one I didn't finish telling you, that's my own grandmother."
Because of some things that happened, we got separated. I also have a twin brother, Zhao Cheng. There's something I wanted to tell you last time, but I didn't finish!
Xiao Yichen slapped his forehead: "That's right!"
Good heavens, he was just a hair's breadth away from improving his brother-in-law's favorability.
Unfortunately, fate wasn't on his side!
What kind of person is he in his brother-in-law's eyes now?
The sky has fallen!
Aunt Xiao's focus, however, was on Su Ruobai's grandmother.
"You mean the older lady who came that day was your grandmother?"
Aunt Xiao was stunned!
I thought he was a genuine relative, but I didn't expect him to be this genuine!
Oh, my dear grandmother!
Oh dear, isn't that my own daughter-in-law the one people often talk about, that, that, fallen princess from a poor family!
You've climbed too high, you've climbed too high. You'll have to treat Xiao Su even better from now on.
