Xue Dong was at the plantation, so he decided to meet again another day.

After a short time together, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu bid farewell to Xue Tao's family and Zhong Zhipeng's siblings, and slowly walked down the gangway of the warship.

On the way, Zhou Shuwan remained silent.

Although they met their relatives whom they had not seen for a long time, they also learned more unfortunate news.

Zhou Shuwan felt sad for both families and was also worried about how to tell his mother the news later.

The sea breeze blows gently, rolling up waves that hit the shore, making a rhythmic sound.

Back at the camp, outside the tent, Zhou Jianghai was hammering wedges, preparing to build a smaller shed.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law come back, he smiled and asked, "You're back? How's it going? Did you get the salt?"

Zhou Shuwan nodded: "We got it, we all want the salt. I'll take it over there later and make smoked fish for everyone."

This is public supplies, and Zhou Shuwan plans to put it in the public kitchen.

After saying this, she remained silent.

Zhou Jianghai glanced at his daughter. He was not a very perceptive person, but he immediately noticed that something was wrong with his daughter's expression.

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Qi Mingyu, who also had a serious expression: "What's wrong..."

Zhou Shuwan looked around: "Where's Mom?"

"She's been outside for a long time and is tired, so she went in to rest." Zhou Jianghai looked directly at his daughter: "Wanwan, what happened?"

Zhou Shuwan looked at his father with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Dad, we...we met cousin Tao and Zhipeng."

Zhou Jianghai was stunned, and the hammer in his hand fell to the ground, almost hitting his foot.

He didn't care about that, he grabbed Zhou Shuwan's hand, his voice trembling: "Really? Where are they? How are they doing?"

Zhou Shuwan felt even more upset when he saw his father's excited look.

She slowly recounted her reunion with Xue Tao and Zhong Zhipeng, as well as their experiences over the years. She tried to speak calmly, but her voice choked up when she spoke of the deaths of her second uncle, third aunt, and others.

Zhou Jianghai listened quietly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by deep sorrow.

His lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also told Zhou Jianghai about the recent situation of Zhong Zhipeng's siblings and Xue Tao's family, and focused on Chunchun's health and the scar on Yuxuan's face.

"We couldn't ask in the house. When he escorted us out, Cousin Tao said this happened before Zhipeng and Yuxuan went to live on the warship. Zhipeng led a group of people out to sea to fish and got stranded at sea for over half a month without returning. Yuxuan was young and beautiful, and was spotted by thugs from another small base. She was also a hot-tempered person, and she scratched her face in a fit of rage. After escaping the danger, she fled, not daring to stay at home. By the time Zhipeng found her, it was too late for treatment..."

There were still some things Zhou Shuwan didn't say.

Zhipeng and his men returned from the sea. After learning about this incident, he led his men to attack the enemy's small base and killed all twenty people involved in the incident. Then he went to look for his sister...

From then on, every time Zhipeng went out to sea to fish or went to other places to look for supplies, he would always take Yuxuan with him and would not dare to leave her alone.

The reason Zhou Shuwan didn't want to speak was that although they had only been together for a short time, she could clearly feel the change in Zhipeng's temperament.

It is a kind of indifference and cruelty towards everything in the world, coming out of cruelty and blood.

Although the other party still showed affection and concern when facing them, that temperament could not be concealed in any way.

After a few years apart, everyone changes.

But she couldn't demand such a change!

This is the only way Zhipeng can protect his sister until now!

Zhou Jianghai said nothing. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I have to tell your mother about these things slowly... She won't be able to accept it..." After hesitating for a while, he said: "Forget it, I can't hide it for much longer. I'll go and tell her."
