"Sister-in-law, I just got back and saw that the house has collapsed."
As Wu Chen spoke, his eyes were filled with helplessness and worry, wondering how Wei Yuyan and his younger siblings were doing.
"How dare you say that, Wu Chen? Why didn't you write back during the two years you were away?"
Do you know how difficult it is for your younger siblings to raise them all by themselves?
Xiuhua's sister-in-law finally seized the opportunity and immediately began to scold her.
"Xiuhua, Xiuhua, you can't get angry right now, I'll take care of it."
Zhang Lifu quickly helped Xiuhua sit down. She was pregnant now and couldn't get angry, otherwise it would affect the baby.
"I won't get angry. Let's see how you treat your younger siblings in the future."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law sat down and looked Wu Chen up and down, noticing that he was dressed in a wealthy and noble manner and had attendants with him.
"Wu Chen, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and her temper has gotten a little worse, but I think she's right."
You really shouldn't have done that. Why haven't you written back in the past two years? It made everyone in the village think you were dead."
Zhang Lifu spoke these words earnestly.
Wu Chen's expression grew increasingly somber.
"Is your sister-in-law pregnant? Leng Feng, go get some things from the carriage."
When Wu Chen heard that Sister-in-law Xiuhua was pregnant, he was happy for them and quickly asked Leng Feng to fetch things from the carriage.
"yes".
Leng Feng responded and then went to the carriage to get some tea, pastries, and cloth, which he piled on the table.
"We can't accept all this stuff."
Li Fu was somewhat flattered; these things didn't look cheap at all.
"That's right, just take these things home and apologize to your younger brother and sister-in-law properly."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law continued to nitpick.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will talk to her properly about where they are living now."
Wu Chen desperately wanted to go home and see the person he longed to marry.
I want to see my younger siblings; I wonder if they've grown taller.
"I'll take you there."
Zhang Lifu immediately stood up to lead the way, but was stopped by Xiuhua's sister-in-law.
"Hurry up and cook, Xiaoya will be back soon."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua realized that Zhang Lifu hadn't cooked the dishes yet, and they were running out of time, so she decided to lead the way herself.
"Who is Xiaoya?"
Wu Chen was curious.
“My adopted daughter, is this carriage yours?”
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua walked to the door, she saw the carriage tied up there and was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, sister-in-law, let's take the carriage there. The master's leg injury hasn't healed yet."
Leng Feng spoke up.
"What happened to your leg?"
Only then did Sister-in-law Xiuhua realize that Leng Feng had been supporting Wu Chen the whole time.
"It's nothing, I just broke a bone before and it hasn't fully healed yet."
Wu Chen looked at his legs, feeling somewhat dejected.
"Get in the car, this way."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua readily got into the carriage and pointed in a direction.
"Stop! Wu Chen, look, this is the new house your sister-in-law built. Take a look."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law stopped him in front of the new house and asked him to take a look at it.
“This… this…”
Wu Chen was somewhat surprised. How could she have the money to build such a nice house, a two-story house with blue bricks and tiles?
"Isn't it strange that she has money to build a new house? This year, she took us to open a steamed bun shop in town and saved some money from it."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua saw through Wu Chen's thoughts and then explained.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Chen nodded. So that's how it is. I didn't expect her to have such a skill.
"Okay, go straight ahead and turn left when you see a fork in the road."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua guided Lengfeng as he drove the carriage.
"That's the brick and tile house. My sister-in-law rents it with Xiaolei and Qianqian."
You sure know how to enjoy life. You came back as soon as the new house was finished. Okay, I'm going back now."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua pointed to the house where Wei Yuyan was currently living, then got off the carriage and turned to go home.
She didn't know how her younger brother and sister-in-law would react to Wu Chen. She felt that since they were a family reunion, it wasn't appropriate for her, an outsider, to be there, so she quickly went home.
"Sister-in-law, slow down."
After watching Xiuhua's sister-in-law leave, Leng Feng hurried towards the brick house.
"This must be the place."
The cold wind tied the horse to the small tree by the door, but before it could be helped, Wu Chen came out on his own.
Seemingly impatient, they carefully disembarked from the carriage and arrived at the gate.
Wu Chen raised his hand, but he was a little nervous. He wondered what he should say to Wei Yuyan when they met. Would she blame him?
Wu Chen's hand remained suspended in mid-air for a long time without knocking on the door.
"Sir, shall I do it?"
Leng Feng glanced at Wu Chen's leg. If it weren't for his leg injury, he wouldn't have bothered calling him and would have just let him stand there.
"good".
Wu Chen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and lowered his hand.
"Dong dong dong~~~".
Wei Yuyan was serving dishes when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
Wei Yuyan didn't open the door immediately. Instead, she served the dishes, turned off the heat, and then walked out of the kitchen.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door without answering."
Wei Yuyan was puzzled. It was already mealtime, who would come over? The children always just pushed the door open and walked in when they came back.
"Knock knock knock~".
The cold wind knocked on the door again.
"Squeak~".
Wei Yuyan opened the door and was stunned to see the two people outside.
This person seems to be my husband in name only, Wu Chen.
But wasn't he dead? How did he come back? To be fair, he's not bad-looking, and he's dressed quite well.
"Yu Yan~".
Wu Chen spoke, having uttered this name a thousand times in his dreams, and today he finally uttered it aloud.
"...Come in."
Wei Yuyan didn't know what to say. This was too sudden, but standing there like this wasn't a good idea either.
"I'm sorry I'm late..."
Wei Yuyan had just turned around when she heard Wu Chen's second sentence. If she had turned back, she would have seen that Wu Chen's eyes were full of guilt.
"Is it useful to say all this?"
Whether it was the original owner's lingering resentment or her own displeasure, Wei Yuyan's words were laced with hostility.
After saying that, he ran back to the kitchen. Wei Yuyan was annoyed. Why did he come back? Was she going to live with him from now on?
"Big brother? Is it really you, big brother?"
Xiao Lei walked in and recognized Wu Chen from behind.
"Xiao Lei~".
Wu Chen turned around and reached out to hug Xiao Lei.
"Big brother, you're back?"
Qianqian, following behind, couldn't help but shed tears.
"Qianqian, it's me, your older brother is back."
Wu Chen hugged Qianqian, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
"Sir, you can't squat like that, please sit down."
This was the first time Leng Feng had ever seen him cry, so he quickly comforted him and told him to sit down.
"Brother, what happened to your leg?"
Upon hearing Leng Feng's words, Xiao Lei quickly released Wu Chen.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Leng Feng helped Wu Chen sit down.
"My sister-in-law must be very happy to know you're back, sister-in-law~".
