Yan Ci frowned:
"What kind of man acts like this? Take care of yourself first. Who would like you looking like this?"
Cui Yu said pitifully:
"Uncle, I can't sleep at all. Ever since I was abducted, I've had trouble sleeping. I can only get a good night's sleep at your house."
Yan Ci said in an ambiguous way:
"This is a psychological problem. Is there nothing Grandpa Cui can do about it?"
Cui Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide and realized:
"Uncle, did you already know about my relationship with them?"
Yan Ci remained silent.
Cui Yu burst into tears, filled with remorse:
"If I had known you already knew these things, I wouldn't have messed things up."
That Lu Xiaoyan used my parents' and grandfather's identities to threaten me, which is why I didn't explain immediately.
Yan Ci: "Chang Le is not married yet, why are you crying? Take care of yourself first, then you will have the ability to like someone."
Cui Yu: "Uncle, once I've recovered, please let me move back!"
Yan Ci sighed: "Chang Le is studying hard, are you just going to stay by her side every day?"
Cui Yu suddenly realized:
"Uncle, I understand. I will study hard and go to school with Chang Le."
Yan Ci entered the courtyard and closed the gate. Cui Yu seemed to have found hope and went back to study.
When Bai Xiaoyue saw Yan Ci return, she hurriedly asked, "Did you catch him?"
Yan Ci: "They've caught him. I heard from Liu Guoan that Zhang Qingshan has also been caught. Now it's all good. You don't have to live in constant fear anymore."
Bai Xiaoyue's eyes reddened:
"That's right, I don't have to be afraid when I walk on the street anymore. Aci, carry me around for a couple of laps!"
Yan Ci squatted down, picked up his wife, and walked around the house. Bai Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but quietly rested her head on Yan Ci's shoulder.
The next day, Bai Wen'an returned and said that Zeng Daming's box was full of gold and jewelry.
Ye Changxing's report was meritorious; the investigation is just a process, and there is no problem.
Everyone in the Yan family was very happy, especially Ruyi, who secretly shed countless tears these past two days.
In the days that followed, Chang Le was extremely busy.
When Ye Changxing was investigated, his mother fell ill upon hearing the news of her grandson's arrest and was taken to the hospital by Ye Jianzhong.
Chang Le goes to the hospital every day to take care of her grandmother. Seeing her grandparents sighing all day long, Ye Jianzhong also looks worried.
She reassured him, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, don't worry, my brother is fine, he'll be back in a few days."
Mother Ye grasped Chang Le's hand and asked, "Changle, is it true? Changxing can come back?"
Chang Le nodded: "I heard from my uncle that my brother is not seriously injured. At worst, he will lose his job."
Ye's mother kept wiping away her tears:
"As long as everyone is safe, it's fine. What does it matter if I don't have a job? Farming at home is just as good."
Ye Changxing was released a week later.
Upon seeing her eldest grandson, Ye's mother felt half-cured and insisted on being discharged from the hospital that very day.
Ye Changxing asked the doctor, who said the elderly man could be discharged and go home to recuperate.
The group quickly completed the discharge procedures, and Chang Le took her grandmother back to the Ye family before returning to her own home.
Bai Xiaoyue knew her daughter was tired, so she told her to rest at home for a couple of days.
A few days later, Ye Changxing came to the house. Bai Xiaoyue saw that apart from being a little thinner, he was in good spirits.
Ye Changxing said happily, "Uncle, thank you. I can still stand here properly now."
Yan Ci: "No need to thank me, it was your own conscience that saved you."
Ye Changxing said, "These ten years have been like a dream. I handed over all my property in exchange for my freedom."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Changxing, look ahead. As long as you have two hands, you'll have a good life."
Ye Changxing nodded: "Auntie, I know. It's just that the matter of marrying Ruyi will have to wait. I can't let her live a hard life with me."
Yan Ci patted Ye Changxing on the shoulder: "Well done, this is what a man should be like."
Time flew by and it was 1977.
Ye Changxing worked in the fields every day to earn work points, and people would gossip about him behind his back, but he didn't care at all.
On the contrary, Ruyi was heartbroken.
Chen Hongmei was also anxious. In the past, her son was highly sought after, and matchmakers practically wore out the doorstep.
Now, whenever his marriage is mentioned, matchmakers shake their heads.
She scolded him with exasperation:
"Ye Changxing, we used to ask you to get married, but you said you weren't in a hurry. Now look what's happened, no one wants to marry you, you'll be a bachelor for life!"
Ye Changxing said cheekily, "Mom, isn't this great? Then you won't have a daughter-in-law to upset you."
Chen Hongmei chased after her son and hit him, saying, "You brat, all you do is upset your mother."
As Ye Changxing ran, he said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll find a wife myself."
Chen Hongmei scolded, "Go find it now, and you're not allowed to come back until you find it."
Ye Changxing dashed off to the Yan family's house for a free meal.
At the dinner table, Bai Xiaoyue asked Ye Changxing if he wanted to study with Chang Le.
Ye Changxing waved his hand: "Auntie, I'm not qualified to go to university, so I won't waste my time."
Bai Xiaoyue didn't try to persuade him any further; everyone has their own ambitions.
After Ye Changxing left, Ruyi came to find Bai Xiaoyue and said very directly, "Auntie, I want to marry Brother Ye."
Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci exchanged a glance.
She asked, "Ruyi, whose idea was this? Didn't Changxing say we should wait?"
Ruyi: "Auntie, he's short of money. I have money; I've saved all my wages from these past years."
There was also the money Chang Le gave me for making clothes for her.
Brother Ye must be feeling terrible because people are gossiping about him every day. I want to be there for him.
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "Ruyi, have you asked Changxing?"
Ruyi shook her head: "I need your permission first before I talk to him."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Ruyi, look how things are getting better and better. Perhaps, in the near future, your grandfather will be alright, and you can openly be Jiang Nan. Do you still want to marry Changxing?"
Ruyi nodded firmly: "I'm willing. What's so great about Jiang Nan? I like being Ruyi."
Bai Xiaoyue then asked, "What if one day your parents come back and disagree?"
Ruyi: "Then I'll be Ruyi for the rest of my life."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Since you insist, I have no objection. Don't go and tell Changxing. Your uncle and I will make arrangements."
After Ruyi left, Bai Xiaoyue stared wide-eyed at Yan Ci.
Yan Ci chuckled, "Wife, what's wrong? You can't bear to part with her?"
Bai Xiaoyue sighed softly, "The child has grown up and is ready to fly!"
Yan Ci: "Children will all grow up and fly away, but you still have me."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Luckily, there's Aci! My dear Aci, why don't you go talk to Changxing about it?"
We must maintain our proper posture, follow all the rules, leave nothing out, and make sure it's a grand and impressive affair so that Chen Hongmei doesn't look down on Ruyi.
Yan Ci nodded.
Bai Xiaoyue: "Ruyi is gentle by nature, and I'm really worried that Chen Hongmei will bully her."
Yan Ci: "Wife, don't worry, Changxing is very smart, and he wouldn't want Ruyi to suffer any injustice."
Even if we assume Ruyi is truly unhappy, you can bring her back; it's not like we can't afford to support her.
Bai Xiaoyue hummed twice:
"Yes, if Changxing dares to treat Ruyi badly, I'll hide Ruyi so he can't find her."
