Returning to Hedao Village, seeing the rows of factories at the village entrance and the two courtyards nestled among them, Yu Mingxiang's heart finally settled down.
When that feeling of peace washed over her, even Yu Mingxiang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and subconsciously look at Gu Guanhai beside her.
Is it because she married this man?
She married this man and had a family again.
It feels good to have a home!
It's very heartwarming.
As soon as Yu Mingxiang and her group's car stopped in front of their house, footsteps could be heard in the yard.
Grandma Gu came out carrying the little dumpling. When she saw Yu Mingxiang, she showered her with concern and care. But when she saw Gu Guanhai, she couldn't help but grumble and curse.
"Gu Guanhai, you little bastard, is this how you take care of my daughter-in-law?"
"My daughter-in-law has lost weight!"
"Mingxiang! Come quickly! Come home with Mom, Mom will make you something delicious to nourish you!"
"..."
The group chatted and laughed, but Gu Guanhai, who had been scolded, went home with a resentful look on his face.
soon.
Yu Mingxiang then saw Mei Fang, whose belly was swollen high.
Mei Fang is already more than eight months pregnant.
She should be giving birth around the New Year.
After greeting Yu Mingxiang and her husband, Mei Fang looked hesitant and unsure what to say.
She wanted to ask Lao Yuan how he was doing, but...
I was also a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang immediately understood.
"He's alright!"
She said, "Although he was injured in a magical battle in the Western Capital, he has recovered. He returned to China with us, but he still had some work to take care of in the capital, so we came back first."
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang exclaimed, "Phew!"
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
The little dumpling is over a year old. After being able to clearly say "Grandpa," he can finally say "Grandma" with unclear pronunciation.
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
Even her own grandmother wasn't as popular as Gu Guanhai, her stepfather. What could she say?
Having been treated differently by her grandson since childhood, Yu Mingxiang had long since become numb to it.
Zheng Mingyue and Ruan Ningcui still live in their house.
During the time Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai were away, Huo Yun and his wife were responsible for protecting the safety of their home, while Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai were in charge of the work at the pharmaceutical factory and the joint research institute.
The whole family was filled with laughter and joy because of Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai's safe return.
Interspersed with the squeaking and babbling of the little dumpling, it was warm and full of life.
That evening, Grandma Gu and Zheng Mingyue cooked a large table full of dishes.
In the dead of winter.
The room was warm and cozy, with a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) inside.
The whole family sat around a makeshift table, eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing, creating an indescribably harmonious atmosphere.
After Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai returned, the worries of Grandma Gu and the others were finally put to rest.
The Chinese New Year is almost here.
They finally had the time and inclination to buy New Year's goods.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lao Yuan finally finished his work and rushed to Hedao Village.
He arrived at Hedao Village, and then...
He was beaten up by his third wife with a fire poker.
"Spare me! Wife, spare me!"
Old Yuan was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands, howling in pain.
Mei Fang chuckled upon hearing this.
He sneered and said, "Spare my life? You still have the nerve to beg for mercy?"
"Let me tell you, I had to shamelessly beg Old Gu for this job of beating you up!"
"I only knew you had done something wrong to Sister Yu, but look at what you've done! You've been taking advantage of Sister Yu! What were you thinking?"
"I'd rather do it myself than let Old Gu beat you to death!"
