Qin Yu went to open the door. Seventh Uncle, who had been waiting impatiently outside, couldn't help but say something when he saw Qin Yu finally open the door.
"You brat, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to be happy?" Uncle Qi looked at Qin Yu, who chuckled.
Zhao Xiaolong, the third brother who was helping Seventh Uncle over, spoke up first on Qin Yu's behalf.
"Seventh Uncle, my elder brother is married now, and I have a sister-in-law. What could we possibly be doing behind closed doors in broad daylight? Of course, it's a good thing."
Zhao Xiaolong smirked and winked at Qin Yu.
Since his sister-in-law Xia Lan came into the picture, Qin Yu's facial expressions have become much more varied.
At least he saw that Qin Yu's smile had increased significantly, instead of his previous expressionless face.
"You brat, how dare you tease me!" Qin Yu snapped his fingers at Zhao Xiaolong as a warning.
Zhao Xiaolong smiled smugly.
"Seventh Uncle, please come in and have a seat!" Qin Yu stepped forward and helped Seventh Uncle into the house.
Seventh Uncle looked around the room, his eyes searching for something...
Xia Lan went to the kitchen to make some hot tea for Seventh Uncle and brought it over.
"Seventh Uncle, Third Brother, have some tea." Xia Lan smiled as she served them tea, then obediently stood beside Qin Yu.
Seeing that Xia Lan didn't boss Qin Yu around like she did in front of outsiders, Seventh Uncle nodded in satisfaction.
He had just overheard some things from Wang Guihua, who had been cursing Qin Yu all the way home, so he rushed over to see if Qin Yu was really being controlled by Xia Lan, as Wang Guihua had said.
Now it seems that it was all a deliberate illusion created by Qin Yu and Xia Lan.
"Xia, you've really had a hard time. Wang Guihua was cursing and swearing all the way here, and her voice was so loud. Those gossipy and curious old women will definitely come to investigate later." Uncle Qi looked at Xia Lan and said apologetically.
Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu, then turned back to Seventh Uncle and smiled sweetly.
"Seventh Uncle, don't worry! Brother Yu has already told me that in front of them, I will act a little coquettish so that they all think that Brother Yu is under my control."
Xia Lan could tell what her seventh uncle truly cared about, so she was happy to let him know that Qin Yu had always been the one in charge of the family.
She was merely cooperating with Qin Yu in his performance.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Seventh Uncle's smile deepened.
"She's really good, a good wife."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
The more Uncle Qi looked at Xia Lan, the more satisfied he became. A wife who cared so much for her husband was a rare find. Qin Yu was really lucky!
"Sister-in-law, are you going to carry everything on your own shoulders?" Zhao Xiaolong asked Xia Lan in surprise.
“Of course, they all know that I brought Yu Ge to the city with my parents’ money, and Yu Ge built a new house in the village. They must be wondering who paid for it, and I’m the best candidate.” Xia Lan smiled.
"I just want to annoy them and make them so jealous."
"Hahahaha! Yes! That's it!" Seventh Uncle was extremely pleased with Xia Lan's temperament.
"Those old women who know nothing about anything, all they do all day is gossip and look down on Qin Yu, saying he'll never amount to anything. Humph, a bunch of shallow-minded fools."
Uncle Qi gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
He had been angry about it before.
I almost wanted to tell them all the things Qin Yu had done for the village.
If Qin Yu hadn't stood up for himself, how many people in the village would have starved to death during that famine?
They actually have the nerve to speak ill of Qin Yu...
"Huh? They're saying bad things about my brother Yu?" Xia Lan immediately went to Uncle Qi, wanting to know what they had said.
"It's nothing..." Qin Yu tried to dissuade him, but was stopped by his seventh uncle's eyes.
"Go, go, go talk to the third brother, I'll talk to Xiaolan."
"..." Qin Yu watched as the old man and the young girl mysteriously walked to the side. The two of them were whispering to each other, and Xia Lan would occasionally shout angrily.
"Big brother, it seems that Uncle Qi really likes sister-in-law." Zhao Xiaolong looked at Xia Lan and Uncle Qi, who seemed to be talking to each other. The two of them were nodding in unison, which looked quite amusing.
"Your sister-in-law is very good." When Qin Yu's gaze swept over Xia Lan, the tenderness and affection in his eyes were almost overflowing.
Zhao Xiaolong found Qin Yu's appearance quite novel.
The first time he saw Xia Lan was when they returned from their wedding banquet. He only thought that Xia Lan was pretty, but there was nothing special about her.
The second time he saw her, it was when she was almost sold to human traffickers. Her strong demeanor at that time changed his opinion of her for the first time.
He seemed to understand a little why Qin Yu liked her and insisted on marrying her.
Such a fun and strong girl is truly a treasure.
Qin Yu's gaze towards her grew increasingly doting, his eyes always unconsciously lingering on her, watching her every move.
"Big brother, there's been progress on the matter you asked us to keep an eye on for you," Zhao Xiaolong said earnestly to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu finally turned his gaze back to Zhao Xiaolong.
"you say."
“We found the nurse from the hospital where Wang Guihua and your mother gave birth.” Zhao Xiaolong looked at Qin Yu.
“We asked her some questions. She was there when you were born. Although she wasn’t the nurse who delivered you, she cleaned your body. She clearly remembers that you had a birthmark on your side, which was pink.”
“Your mother was sent to the hospital temporarily without any identification information. She was found by her family the next day and discharged. She even received a large red envelope from them, which is why she remembers it so clearly.”
