"Brother Dongfang, I understand that you love Yingying, but I don't agree with your idea. But if she really falls in love with Yanchuan in the future, I don't want you to stand between the two children."
"Children are the apple of their parents' eyes. We always want the best for them, but blindly keeping them in a protective bubble is actually harmful to them. If you let go appropriately, you will find that they are much stronger and more powerful than we imagined."
Liu Liying's words made Jiang Dongfang fall into deep thought.
He tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep. Originally, he was heartbroken over his master's misfortune, which had finally eased a little, but now he was worried about his niece's misfortune.
Xu Hongping was also woken up by his noise. Looking at the ceiling, she murmured, "Actually, what Sister Liying said makes sense. What if Yingying really likes him? Are you going to stop her again?"
A while ago, Jiang Wanying had a big fight with Jiang Dongfang in order to marry Fang Jiaxing, and even went on a hunger strike. In the end, Jiang Dongfang couldn't persuade her anymore and felt sorry for her, so he relented.
Fortunately, she did not marry him. Jiang Dongfang would not blame himself for the rest of his life, thinking that he did not stand firm and ruined Yingying's happiness.
After this, he thought that if Yingying remarried, she should marry an honest and decent young man who lived close to home, who could take care of her, love her, and give in to her in every way.
Jiang Dongfang was certain that Yingying was not suitable to be a military wife, as she could not bear the hardship.
"What's wrong with me stopping her? Would I harm her? Don't I just want her to marry the right man? Xiao Lu isn't right for her. Don't let Liying's words turn you against me! Last time, you protected Yingying and helped her marry Fang Jiaxing. What about marriage? This time, no matter what I say, you have to stand by me!"
Xu Hongping laughed. "Why are you still holding a grudge? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. How could I have known Fang Jiaxing was that kind of person? But Xiao Lu is different. I think Xiao Lu is much more reliable. Besides, aren't his mother and you childhood sweethearts? You know each other well. When Yingying gets married, Liying will definitely love her as much as we do."
Jiang Dongfang was sulking, "What you said is right, but I will never give in this time."
Xu Hongping: "..."
She kicked him in the quilt in annoyance and said, "It's up to you whether you want to loosen it or not. If you move again tonight, you can't sleep in this bed."
Jiang Dongfang took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He didn't dare to move even if he wanted to. After all, his wife always had the final say in front of him. It would be terrible if she really kicked him off the bed.
Seeing that he was much more obedient, Xu Hongping turned her back to him and snorted, "You little bastard, can't I cure you?"

The days passed quickly, and school was about to start.
A few days ago, Jiang Wanying discussed with her uncle and others at the dinner table that she wanted to go back to E'nan High School. Jiang Dongfang was originally hesitant for fear that she would make trouble again, but when he thought about Liu Liying coming to see Jiang Wanying from time to time during this period, he immediately agreed to avoid excessive contact between them.
Jiang Huaichuan also rented a house for her near the school and was waiting for her to move in.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and Xu Hongping got up early in the morning to make dumplings.
In the evening, the family sat together. There were several plates of dumplings on the table, as well as vinegar that Jiang Huaichuan bought from the supply and marketing department in the city. A little was poured into everyone's bowl. Jiang Wanying rubbed her hands and swallowed a lot of saliva.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then a man in a black trench coat walked in with a suitcase. He took off his hat and shouted to Jiang Dongfang who was sitting in the middle, "Brother! I'm back!"
