Chen Jingxian, who was waiting alone at the Zhang family, was also completely desperate at this time. She thought that as long as she married Zhang Zhiqiang instead of her cousin, the matter would be settled and he would have to recognize her even if he didn't want to, and she would become a real daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.

Unexpectedly, he was not strong enough to move the drunk Zhang Zhiqiang, and he didn't even take off his clothes.

Zhang Zhiqiang went out on a mission and did not return for a long time. The old couple of the Zhang family treated her as if she did not exist and kept looking for their cousin.

After waiting for a long time, the two elders of the Zhang family came back, but they ignored her and wanted to send her back to the Chen family.

They did not recognize her marriage with Zhang Zhiqiang, but because of her poor health, they did not dare to touch her forcibly, otherwise they would have sent her back to the Chen family long ago.

She was already weak, and coupled with her recent depression, she died soon after.

A few months later, when Zhang Zhiqiang returned from his mission, his reputation as a wife-killer had already spread throughout the compound by Chen Laoer.

Chen Laoer was also expelled from the army by Mr. Zhang on charges of manipulation and destruction of military marriage.

He even used his power to drive the entire family out of Kyoto.

After Zhang Zhiqiang came back and heard about what happened to Chen Jingyi, he rushed to Guangdong Province to look for her without any hesitation.

When they arrived at the small village, Zhang Zhiqiang calmed down.

Knowing that he couldn't just act recklessly, he rushed to find her.

This would not be good for her reputation, so he quietly entered the village. Before he could figure out how to find her, he saw his sweetheart holding a wooden basin and walking not far ahead of him.

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw a short, ordinary-looking man.

He stepped forward and took the wooden basin from Chen Jingyi's hand. The two smiled at each other. The woman wiped the sweat from the man's forehead with a handkerchief, and then the two left together.

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't move his feet.

He couldn't believe that Chen Jingyi was truly with that man, but the affectionate looks between them couldn't lie.

In the end, he still didn't muster up the courage to go to Chen Jingyi and confront her face to face.

Naturally, he didn't see the two of them suddenly separated after he left, and Chen Jingyi's red eyes from crying.

Zhang Zhiqiang felt that he had lost the right and courage to win back his sweetheart, so he could only return to the army sadly and rarely went home since then.

Until he was injured and retired and transferred to Heilongjiang Province, he was still unwilling to return to Kyoto to work, and every time he came back to see his parents, he was in a hurry.

"Old Zhang, don't worry. When I return this time, I will have a good talk with Zhiqiang and try to persuade him. It's been so many years, and you two are not young anymore. It's time for him to come back."

"Old Ye, I really have to ask you for help. Ever since he came back from Guangdong Province, he has refused to say anything to us. I'm so heartbroken!" Old Master Zhang said, pounding his chest.

Grandpa Ye patted his old friend's shoulder comfortingly. He heard some noise on the stairs, so he didn't say anything more.

Ye Jinhua and Grandma Zhang had actually been on the stairs for a while. It was rare for Grandpa Ye to be here, so they could listen to Grandpa Zhang's inner thoughts.

Grandma Zhang also knew that her husband had been feeling very depressed these years and was not happy about it, but she was afraid that it would make her sad, so she didn't dare to mention it in front of her.

After listening to the two people downstairs talking for a while, Grandma Zhang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, adjusted her expression, and went downstairs with Ye Jinhua.

In fact, Ye Jinhua and Grandma Zhang were upstairs and also heard Grandma Zhang talk about some things about Uncle Zhang.

Ye Jinhua also felt that Chen Laoer's family was really shameless.

Moreover, she felt that Chen Jingyi's life in the countryside for so many years might not be very good.

How can a man who knows full well that the girl is unwilling and has been forced to marry someone else still force her to consummate the marriage with him be a good person?

He felt that Uncle Zhang should have rushed over and asked clearly, but based on what she had heard about Chen Jingyi's personality, it might be useless.

She had already decided that she was not worthy of Zhang Zhiqiang, so she would naturally find a way to make him give up.

After so many years, she should have had children, or even grandchildren. It has to be said that the two of them really missed each other.

The most hateful ones are Chen Laoer's family. They destroyed other people's marriages and they deserve to be struck by lightning.

Their daughter deserved to die early, and he didn't get any credit for it.

Ye Jinhua cursed Chen Laoer's family fiercely in his heart, then helped Grandma Zhang downstairs and sat next to Grandpa Zhang.

When Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang heard that Grandpa Ye and his wife were going back to their hometown, they were very reluctant to let them go.

Grandpa Ye comforted the old couple, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Zhang and his wife. We will all be reunited in Kyoto soon. Maybe we can bring Zhiqiang back with us then."

"That would be great. I'm sorry to trouble you, brother. Please help us persuade Zhiqiang." Upon hearing this, the Zhang family's old couple were indeed in much better spirits.

"Haha, relax, relax, Zhiqiang is a good boy, and a filial child. He will figure it out."

The old couple of the Zhang family nodded in agreement with tears in their eyes.

After bidding farewell to the old couple of the Zhang family, Ye Jinhua and her grandchildren returned to the old house and waited for news from Mr. Song with peace of mind.

The news from Old Song came very quickly. Just two days later, Old Song came to the door in person and said that he would take Grandpa Ye to see the old man again.

And this time the old man also said that Ye Jinhua and Grandpa Ye were allowed to go together.

Ye Jinhua was a little excited, because to her, the old man was a great man in history.

Now she actually has the opportunity to meet him. This feeling is different from those of later generations when star-chasers meet their idols.

No matter how dazzling a star is, he or she is still a person of the same era.

Her current mood is probably not much different from when she was informed that she could meet Qin Shihuang and talk to him face to face.

With great excitement, Ye Jinhua followed Grandpa Ye and Grandpa Song to the old man's office.

It was the same young soldier from last time who led the way for them. It was Ye Jinhua's first time to come to such a solemn and dignified place. He didn't dare to look around and just followed his grandfather without looking away.

When I entered the old man’s office again, he seemed to have known that Grandpa Ye would come here again, with a look of understanding and helplessness on his face.

This time, Old Song and the young soldier who led the way left the old man's office together, leaving only the Ye family's grandparents and grandchildren inside.

The old man looked at Grandpa Ye who was standing in front of him again, took off his glasses, and pinched his nose bridge tiredly.

He said helplessly: "Xiao Ye, you are really a good disciple of Mr. Ji. You have the same stubborn temper as him.

Once you've made up your mind, you must do it. When I was injured, I told him not to bother saving me, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on giving me the Ji family's inherited medicine."
