"Xiao Yu, is Mom okay these two days?"

"She's in a bad mood, but she's much better now than when she knew about this."

"I never imagined in my dreams that something so dramatic would happen in our family."

Compared to Yan Ziqian's sadness, the second and third sisters-in-law were quite accepting.

A few months after my second sister-in-law and second brother got married, Yan Zilan married into the Xin family.

The third sister-in-law married into the Yan family two or three years after she got married.

Among the three sisters-in-law of the Yan family, the one who has spent the longest time with Yan Zilan is the eldest sister-in-law, who is far away in Su City at this time and knows nothing about this matter.

Although the second and third sisters-in-law were a little shocked by this matter, they were not sad but felt happy instead when they thought that they would not have to see Yan Zilan again when they returned to the compound.

.........

Dinner was divided into two tables. The head of the family, Grandpa Yan, did not eat. Everyone sat at the table without eating. They looked in the direction of Grandpa Yan, waiting for him to speak.

"Only Ziyuan and Xiujie are not here today. Since you are all back, I will talk to you for a few words."

"This morning, your father has already changed her last name."

"From now on, there will be no more Yan Zilan in our Yan family!"

"If I find out that anyone is helping her in private or begging for her, get out of the Yan family! I will never let them off easily!"

"Ziyi, find out the matter you were given as soon as possible and handle it as it should be handled without regard for personal feelings."

"Okay, I understand, Grandpa."

"Don't just stand there, eat."

In fact, no one had much appetite for this meal. In order not to disturb the elders, they started eating with big mouthfuls.

Even if there are thousands of reasons for curiosity, no one dares to ask under such circumstances.

They all lowered their heads and ate in silence, not even picking up food for each other.

This was the most depressing meal Song Fuyu had eaten since coming to the Yan family. He had never wanted Yan Ziyuan to be by his side as much as he did at this moment.

However, it is just a thought, because he is on a mission outside at this time and there is no way he can go home.

Although the affairs of the Yan family have not been made public, everyone who can live in the compound is a shrewd person.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire compound.

But no one asked it to his face, everyone just talked about it behind his back.

Old Master Yan had thought of this a long time ago, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it's hard for one person to stop the gossip. Besides, everyone will know about this sooner or later.

On Saturday, Dadong's wife Gu Yue came to Yan's house to ask Song Fuyu to go out shopping.

Song Fuyu actually didn't want to go out, but Grandpa Yan thought about her staying at home with them every day, so he directly kicked her out of the house.

"Xiao Yue, there's no need to rush back at noon. Take Xiao Yu out for a good meal, and Grandpa Yan will reimburse you later."

"Okay, I got it, Grandpa Yan. I will definitely take Xiaoyu to have lunch before coming back."

So Song Fuyu followed Gu Yue and left the compound.

"Are you curious about why I came to you suddenly?"

"Don't ask me about our family. I really can't tell you anything."

She was the one who knew the most among the younger generation. This incident could be said to be caused by her, after all, she was the first to know about Qin Lixia's existence.

But if they were trying to trick her and get information from her, she could only choose to keep silent.

"Haha, if I want to know, just ask our Dadong."

"Besides, it's been two or three days. If you're really curious, you'll get sick if you wait for so many days."

"In fact, it was your Yan Ziyuan who contacted Dadong before he went on the mission and asked me to take you to Jing City when I was free, fearing that you would be too bored staying in the compound all day."

"I finally got some free time and wanted to look for you, but who knew this would happen."

Instead of going to the department store where Yan Ziyu worked, the two of them took an extra 30 minutes by car and went to a shopping mall farther away.

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

"Look at the fabric."

"Can you make clothes?"

“What I’m wearing is made by myself.”

"Tsk tsk~~ Yan Ziyuan really married a treasure. I can't do such a delicate job."

"Before I got married, my mother asked me to learn something, but I just couldn't do it and I wasted two pieces of cloth."

"You have a job, so it's the same if you buy it with money."

"That's true."

Song Fuyu stopped in front of the satin fabric and looked at it for a long time.

In the end, she chose a piece of purple-pink fabric for herself, and a dark blue one for Yan Ziyuan.

After buying fabric, I went to buy some old-fashioned cakes.

"Do you like these?"

“I bought it for my grandparents. They love it.”

"You're thinking about the old couple even though you came out by yourself. No wonder Dadong said that Grandpa Yan likes you so much."

"No, I'll buy some to take back too."

Gu Yue didn't buy more because she only had four 2-liang pastry tickets in total.

At noon, we chose a state-owned restaurant nearby and ordered two dishes. While waiting for the dishes, Gu Yue suddenly mentioned Yu Anqi.

"It is said that the Yu family is eyeing Li Zheng and wants to marry into the Li family, but Yu Anqi doesn't seem happy about it and is protesting at home."

"Li Zheng? Who is that? Does he live in this compound too?"

"He doesn't live in this compound, but his grandfather is here. Mr. Li has never taken sides and never cared about anything that didn't concern him. The Yu family probably saw this and as long as they wanted to marry, even if they didn't take sides before, they might not take sides in the future."

"Hasn't Zheng Jie always liked Yu Anqi?"

"Zheng Jie? He's just a coward. No matter how much you like him, it's useless. He doesn't even dare to fart at home."

"Mr. Zheng doesn't like the Yu family at all and has always wanted to marry into the Zhou family. Unfortunately, the Zhou family's granddaughter Zhou Yongning likes Lin Junsheng, so I guess these two people should be able to get married in the end."

“How complicated!”

These big families are indeed divided among themselves, just like what was shown on TV before.

"That's how it is in the compound. Very few people can really be with the person they love. Most of the time, it's decided by the family, and most of the marriages are arranged by alliance."

"A family like the Yan family is rare."

"But it's normal. After all, the men in the Yan family are all capable and there's no need to marry into other families."

"The Yu family suddenly lowered their standards and chose the Li family simply because Yu Boyuan was removed from office. With no successor, they could only choose a better husband for Yu Anqi."

After listening to this, Song Fuyu picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

If the Yu family doesn't hurry up, they will probably have no chance at all. After all, Grandpa Yan will not let them go.

It would be fine if the Li family refused, but if they agreed, they would most likely disappear along with the Yu family in the end.
