Wang Huilan was furious when she heard what Lieutenant General Liao said, but as her brother-in-law said, she had spoken the words herself.

Seeing him brandishing a gun just now, and after all the previous interactions, isn't this the kind of man she had always thought she should marry?

And she could go to Liaodong with him without having to be a woman staying in the inner house.

She relaxed her expression and said, "You can also let me marry you. I will also go to the battlefield in the future."

Liao Wenshan said, "You can go to the battlefield, but you must obey orders. My brother-in-law doesn't like to be talked about. If you make a mistake, you will be put in solitary confinement. When I first followed him, I was put in solitary confinement a lot. I would rather be punished by practicing martial arts than being put in solitary confinement. I can't do anything in a small dark room, so it's better to be beaten with a stick."

Wang Huilan said, "I'll start as a soldier and become a female general in the future. Are there any female soldiers there?"

Liao Wenshan shook his head and said, "No, if you want, just recruit some female soldiers. The women in Liaodong are not like those in Beijing. In a war, women will also use pots, pans, and rolling pins to defend the city."

Wang Huilan said happily, "Then I will go and form a female soldier team."

She thought it would be nice to marry him. Being able to go to the battlefield was what she had always dreamed of.

When Mo Chenxi returned to her parents' home, she heard her sister-in-law say that her brother had misunderstood that Lieutenant General Liao and Wang Huilan were a couple. She just laughed. She didn't think it was a misunderstanding. Maybe the two of them really were together.

Military families are not as particular as civil families. She has a feeling that if General Xue did not agree with Lieutenant General Liao marrying his former sister-in-law, Lieutenant General Liao would not be so direct. After all, he wants to follow his brother-in-law for a better future and will not embarrass him too much.

When reconstructing the accident scene that day, Mo Chenxi suffered a head injury. He came back and explained to his family that he had fallen on the way to the farm.

Before, she went to Wang's house every day and told her family that she was there to accompany her two daughters. The He family also knew that her sister-in-law and nieces were also at Wang's house.

Of course He Wenliang was willing. At this moment, he could feel that the Wang family was not an ordinary businessman, but perhaps a powerful family.

Who doesn’t want to make friends with the powerful and influential?

After the Wang family asked Mo Chenxi for help, they did not just ignore it. A few days later, a carriage sent Doctor An to the He family to take her pulse and prescribe medicine.

Once, when He Wenliang was there, he heard that his eldest sister-in-law was so seriously ill. He felt guilty and went to find his second brother and his second sister-in-law, asking her to take more care of the family. He also said that when his son was older, he would let Fan help his second sister-in-law to manage the household.

He Wenliang is ready for his elder brother to come back and have a good talk with him. He can no longer be a hands-off boss and wait for his elder brother's wife to solve all the problems.

The Mo Family Restaurant officially opened on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Coincidentally, the Wang family were all at the farm at that time, so Zhou didn't have to go there. She and her husband worked together on the restaurant's affairs.

Mo Xinrong and his wife also came and worked with his elder brother and sister-in-law.

The Wang family now doesn't care about anything else and only cares about Nie Lingxuan's recovery.

Ever since she questioned her parents that day, Nie Lingxuan's soul, as the locals say, has returned. But after so many years, and with her subsequent memories, she's starting to feel confused again.

She grew up with her sister and only recognized her sister. Her two brothers and brother-in-law were not allowed to get close to her.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give her daughter Xiangxiang to her eldest daughter. However, Xiangxiang would be with anyone during the day, but would only be with her mother at night, otherwise she would cry non-stop.

Mrs. Wang is unable to take care of two children, and her younger sister is still in the same condition.

Wang Jingye said, "I see Xiangxiang is close to the Mo family. We've lived there for a while. She's been seeing Dazhi's wife a lot lately. Otherwise, I'll take her to the Mo family. If she stays with Aunt Mo or Dazhi's wife at night, then Xiangxiang will stay at the Mo family for the time being."

That's all.

Wang Jingye personally took his youngest daughter to the Mo family and told them the purpose of their visit. Old Mrs. Mo naturally agreed.

During the day she coaxed Xiangxiang to play, and at night Xiangxiang would cry for her mother. Old Madam Mo took out the thread-threading spindle, held it in one hand, and spun the thread with the other, saying softly to Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, be good and listen. Look, Grandma Mo is busy right now. When I finish this thread-threading, I'll take you to see your mother."

Xiangxiang stared at the ingot and felt sleepy after a while.

Old Mrs. Mo slowly helped her lie down, and lay beside her with her clothes on, patting her gently and humming a little tune.

Wang Jingye was listening in the outer room. When he didn't hear his daughter crying, he breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out with Mo Yuanji.

The two of them went to the study, and Mo Yuanji said, "Don't worry, leave Xiangxiang with me. Your aunt will definitely be able to take care of the child."

Wang Jingye said, "I sent Xiangxiang here because I trusted my uncle and aunt. Xiangxiang's mother said that Xiangxiang didn't have a grandmother, so she should treat my aunt as her grandmother from now on."

Mo Yuanji said, "We also treat Xiangxiang like our granddaughter. Your aunt said she has never seen such a lovely child. The others in my family seem obedient now, but that one was noisy when they were little. Dazhi would not sleep at night and would sleep during the day, and I took care of that one who cried at night for three months."

Wang Jingye laughed and said, "It was the same when my eldest son was young. He cried and his mother cried too. I posted stickers all over the streets. The yamen runners even came to my house and asked why I was posting stickers on the yamen gate. I said that was where the righteousness was and that the crooked ways should be avoided. My father almost kicked me out."

Mo Yuanji laughed out loud, which was rare.

Wang Jingye stayed a little longer, fearing that his daughter would wake up and make trouble. Seeing that no servant came to talk to him, he said goodbye.

Mrs. Wang was very worried. She only chanted the Buddha's name after her husband came back and told her what happened.

"Luckily, Aunt Mo was able to coax her, otherwise I would be completely overwhelmed."

Wang Jingye asked, "How is Xuanxuan?"

Mrs. Wang said with a sad face, "She used to be so lively and carefree every day, but now she's like a frightened little bird. Today I tried to tell her that her parents were gods and would go to heaven if I handed her over to her sister. She started crying and said I lied to her and that her parents were gone."

Wang Jingye said, "Don't worry. Doctor An said this is a good thing. As long as she stops being dazed and starts crying, it's a good thing. Tomorrow, try to get Chengping and Chengan to see her. If she's willing to see her, it's progress."

Mrs. Wang nodded.

The next day, Nie Chengping and his brother went to the eldest sister's room cautiously and saw that the younger sister was much thinner than before, with sunken eyes and a confused look.

Unlike before, it is obvious that he is different from normal people.

Nie Chengping held his breath, holding the candied haws in his hand, and called softly, "Xuanxuan."

Nie Lingxuan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at her elder sister.

Mrs. Wang held her hand and said softly, "This is my elder brother. He bought you some candied haws."

Nie Lingxuan turned her head and licked her lips, as she always did before eating candied haws.

"Brother, there are also sugar paintings."

Nie Chengping held back the tears in his eyes and said, "Let's eat the candied haws first. Tomorrow, big brother will buy Xuanxuan a candy painting."

Nie Cheng'an's eyes were also filled with tears, and his voice was trembling, "Xuanxuan, I am the second brother."

Nie Lingxuan smiled and said, "Second brother, give me some roasted sparrows to eat."

The whole family was in tears. The younger sister was talking about what had happened during the past twenty years since she became ill, but the expression in her eyes was no longer as "innocent" as before.
