"Big brother, sister-in-law, we're back."
Qianqian was overjoyed, she had a wonderful time riding in the carriage today.
"You still know to come back and eat."
Just then, Wei Yuyan finished cooking the food.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, we also invited Xiao Xuan, Xiao Pang and Xiao Ya to ride in the carriage together today, and they were very happy."
It's rare for Xiao Lei to be this happy.
"As long as you're happy, Leng Feng will pick you up and drop you off again tomorrow."
Looking at his younger siblings' happy smiles, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile as well.
"You're lucky, kid. Your sister-in-law's cooking is truly superb. I usually eat three bowls of rice when I come to your house for a meal."
Seeing that the atmosphere was strangely quiet, Zhang Lifu started to make jokes.
"That's right, I'm going to eat three bowls of rice today too."
Wu Chen was embarrassed to admit that this was only the second time he had eaten Wei Yuyan's cooking; today's lunch was the first time.
Before she joined the army, Wu Chen always cooked; Wei Yuyan had never done it before.
Hearing their words, Leng Feng silently sped up the cooking process, afraid that there wouldn't be enough rice later.
We had been on the road for more than ten days, enduring wind and rain, and hadn't eaten or slept well. At noon, I noticed that my sister-in-law didn't look well, so I didn't dare to eat much.
Now that my sister-in-law is in a good mood, I can eat a few more bowls of food without worry.
So, since there was nothing left of the rice and vegetables, Wei Yuyan could only cook some dumpling soup for the two puppies again.
"Sister-in-law, does Brother Lengfeng have nowhere to sleep tonight?"
Xiao Lei came in and asked.
"Hmm, why don't we let him move to the new house? The first floor has been cleaned and the bed is ready. He can just bring his pillow and blanket."
It's inconvenient for Wei Yuyan to stay at someone else's house, but she can stay in the new house anyway.
"good".
Xiao Lei happily went out to tell Wu Chen and Leng Feng.
"Huh? I'm living in a new house? That's not a good idea. I'll just sleep on the floor."
Leng Feng thought to himself, "This is a new house built by my sister-in-law. They haven't even moved in yet, and I'm already moving in. That would be so inappropriate. I wonder if my husband will be jealous."
"If she agrees to let you stay, then go."
Wu Chen thought that Wei Yuyan letting Leng Feng move in meant that she accepted them and was no longer resistant to them.
"yes".
Leng Feng nodded, but he didn't go immediately. Instead, he waited until Wu Chen had finished bathing before heading over.
"Cold wind, here's the blanket and pillow, and the key."
After washing up, Wei Yuyan helped Leng Feng find bedding and pillows.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
When Leng Feng came today, Sister Xiuhua showed them the new house. He knew where the new house was, so he carried the bedding out the door.
"Brother, how long will it take for your leg to heal?"
Xiao Lei was very excited; it had been a long time since he had slept in the same bed and chatted with his older brother.
"It should take another month and a half to fully recover."
The doctor said that as long as I rest well and don't let the wound reopen, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Brother, I did something wrong before, no, I don't know if it was right or wrong."
Xiao Lei scratched his head; he decided to be honest with his older brother.
"What's up?".
Wu Chen looked at Xiao Lei with curiosity.
"At the beginning of this year, my sister-in-law said she wanted to leave, and then... I didn't let her leave, and we had an argument."
She...then she suddenly fainted. I was very scared at the time. I shouldn't have argued with my sister-in-law.
After my sister-in-law woke up, she didn't say she was leaving. Instead, she became even kinder to my sister and me.
She also said... she said she wouldn't leave until my sister and I grew up.
Xiao Lei knew he had done something wrong, but sometimes he felt fortunate that he had stopped his sister-in-law from leaving.
"I know you're not letting your sister-in-law leave, not for your own sake but for yours, even though you shouldn't have argued with her."
But what's past is past, there's no need to dwell on it. My brother is back now, and everything is alright with him.
Wu Chen felt that her younger brother had become much more sensible in the past two years.
"Big brother, there's one more thing..."
Xiao Lei began to ponder how to bring this up.
"Speak freely, say whatever you want, speak your mind to your elder brother."
Wu Chen looked at Xiao Lei with amusement. "Is there anything else you're embarrassed to say?"
"In the spring, my sister, sister-in-law, sister-in-law Xiuhua and I went to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots."
Then... someone tried to harass my sister-in-law. He pinned her to the ground, but luckily I arrived in time and hit him with a hoe.
Later, Xiuhua's sister-in-law arrived, and we all beat him up and made him pay compensation.
Xiao Lei still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it; what if he hadn't arrived in time...
"Who is it?"
Wu Chen's gaze was no longer as gentle as before; instead, it turned cold and carried a hint of murderous intent.
"I don't know his name. I only heard Sister Xiuhua say that he was a son-in-law who moved into his wife's family home. He usually didn't live in the village. The man who moved in was a rich man."
Xiao Lei thought back for a moment and realized that was roughly all the information he had; he didn't know anything else.
"I understand. From now on, I will never let you, my sister, or my sister-in-law suffer any harm again."
From what Xiao Lei just said, he already knows who it is. Anyone who dares to bully him is really asking for trouble.
"Um……".
Xiao Lei fell asleep in a daze.
Wu Chen recalled what Xiao Lei had just said: Yu Yan wanted to leave at the beginning of the year?
Going back to her parents' home? Why did she stop going later? Wu Chen couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think about it anymore.
No wonder she still treats me badly; I'm not home, and she's suffered because of me.
Now I just hope my leg heals quickly so I can make it up to her and make her change her mind and stop thinking about leaving.
Lost in thought, Wu Chen fell asleep, the best sleep he'd had in the past two years.
It feels like home. Even though it's still a rented house, as long as the family is together, it feels like home.
The next morning, Wei Yuyan cooked white rice porridge and steamed white steamed buns.
Today is a day off for the children, so they don't have to go to school and can sleep in.
Leng Feng got up early and came over to help Wu Chen wash up and then to help start the fire.
"Cold Wind, after you finish breakfast, come with us to town to buy meat. We'll cook meat for you for lunch."
Wei Yuyan usually buys meat every two or three days, but now there are more people eating at home, and two of them are such big eaters.
Wei Yuyan should buy more meat. She can also dry some cured meat while she's at it.
"Okay, by the way, sister-in-law, you don't know, this morning the workers were startled when they saw me come out of there. They thought I was a thief."
After I explained repeatedly that I was their relative and even showed them the keys, they finally believed me.
Leng Feng remembered that two workers had arrived early this morning and happened to run into him.
"Haha, they really have no eyes. What thief dresses as well as you?"
Wei Yuyan couldn't help but tease him, saying that there was no one else in the whole village dressed like him.
