Zhou Meixia, however, dismissed Jiang Laiwang's concerns.

"No matter how unwilling he was to come, he still came. As long as he stands in our yard, let's see what gossips can come up with. He can't very well tell others that he didn't want to come, can he?"

Jiang Laiwang remained silent.

But deep down, I felt that Zhou Meixia's words also made sense.

Seeing his worried expression, Zhou Meixia comforted him, "Besides, it's not that our son-in-law really didn't want to come. He was called back for an important mission! He hasn't been home for more than half a year. It's a glorious mission to sacrifice his family for the greater good!"

"Look, he just got back yesterday, and today he brought Zao'er to visit us in person. I also heard that he stayed at the hospital with Zao'er all night yesterday, and her biological father still hasn't seen him!" Zhou Meixia added.

Jiang Laiwang remained silent for a while, then nodded thoughtfully.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "That's true."

"If you ask me, our son-in-law is no ordinary person," Zhou Meixia said proudly. "Luckily, Zao'er is quick-witted and swift in his actions, otherwise I really don't know which family would have gotten such a good son-in-law."

Jiang Laiwang acknowledged the marriage between Jiang Zao and Lu Yanxun, but did not want to bring up such a shameful past.

He frowned in displeasure: "You still dare to say that! We agreed not to mention it again!"

Zhou Meixia's mood was completely unaffected: "My daughter and son-in-law came back together today, I'm so happy, aren't I? You dare say you're not secretly happy to have such a good son-in-law? Fine, I won't say it again."

She plated the last dish, ending the conversation: "Put out the fire in the stove, wash your hands, and eat."

Jiang Laiwang obediently put out the fire.

I also mentally reviewed what Zhou Meixia had said.

Yes, that's what she said.

Jiang Laiwang's mood gradually improved, and he even thought about asking his son-in-law if he wanted a drink at the dinner table later.

Just as the food was about to be served, Jiang Bei returned home from school.

Jiang Guo ran over excitedly to report, "Brother, our sister is back today."

Jiang Bei's eyes lit up: "Where's my sister?"

"In my and my sister's room."

Since her older sister got married, the room between the two sisters has become Jiang Guo's room alone.

But she still habitually said that it was her and her sister's room.

Jiang Bei ran straight to Jiang Guo's room with his schoolbag on his back.

Jiang Guo hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Brother, sister didn't come back alone. Brother-in-law is here too, he's inside!"

Jiang Guo ran faster than Jiang Bei and finally grabbed his backpack strap just as they were about to reach the door.

They grabbed the person.

"Please don't go in!" Jiang Guo shouted like a thief.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Bei asked, puzzled. "Does your brother-in-law not want to see us?"

Like the rest of the Jiang family, Jiang Bei had only met Lu Yanxun a few times.

I was also unfamiliar with him.

But that didn't diminish Jiang Bei's admiration for his brother-in-law, who was an officer.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask his brother-in-law about life in the military camp, dreaming that one day he could also wear a military uniform and become a soldier who would protect his country.

Unfortunately, he has never seen Lu Yanxun since his sister got married.

Jiang Bei was overjoyed to learn that her brother-in-law and sister had returned together.

"No." Jiang Guo cleared her throat, lowering her voice as much as possible.

She whispered to Jiang Bei, "My sister and brother-in-law are inside... hugging and cuddling!"

Jiang Bei frowned, "How could you watch my sister and brother-in-law hugging and cuddling? That's not something children should watch."

Jiang Guo: "..."

She tried her best to be subtle, but her brother still scolded her.

If she said that her sister was on top of her brother-in-law and that the two of them were doing *that*, would her brother beat her to death?

“My parents saw it too.” Jiang Guo quickly pulled herself away. “I only saw them hugging and cuddling, I didn’t see anything else. I only glanced at it and then covered my eyes. After covering my eyes, I even turned my back. My parents saw more than I did.”

Jiang Guo concluded, "In short, you can't go in. They might even be holding you. You're a child too, so you can't watch either."

Jiang Bei's face darkened: "...Okay."

"Xiao Bei, Guo Zi, call your sister and brother-in-law for dinner," Zhou Meixia called out from the main room.

Jiang Guo nudged Jiang Bei's arm and handed the task over to him: "Brother, you have a loud voice, you shout."

Jiang Bei refused to accept it, saying, "Our mother has an even louder voice. My sister and brother-in-law should have heard what she just said."

Jiang Guo accepted Jiang Bei's refusal: "Okay."

In the end, neither of them shouted, and they stood there waiting in perfect unison.

In the room.

The house wasn't well soundproofed, and Jiang Zao could hear her younger siblings whispering at the door, not to mention her mother's booming voice.

"time to eat."

Jiang Zao reminded Lu Yanxun, who was still lying with his eyes closed, without turning her head.

Then, holding onto the bed, I stretched my feet down to put on my shoes.

Just as the toe of one foot slipped into the shoe, the man on the bed got up.

Under Jiang Zao's shocked gaze, Lu Yanxun bent down and put on her shoes for her.

This man... actually put her shoes on himself?

It was still her own initiative.

God is my witness, she never asked Lu Yanxun to help her put on her shoes, not even in her wildest dreams!

Amid Jiang Zao's stunned expression, Lu Yanxun spoke: "I'll carry you there."

"Do not……"

Jiang Zao wanted to refuse.

She had barely uttered a word of "no" when Lu Yanxun picked her up.

It's the same familiar princess carry.

Jiang Zao belatedly realized that the man's words were not a request for her consent, but rather a notification to her.

After that, Jiang Zao didn't even need to say a word.

Lu Yanxun picked her up and carried her out.

The two siblings stood outside like wooden stakes.

Seeing Jiang Zao and Lu Yanxun come out, he unconsciously straightened his posture even more.

“It’s out, it’s out…” Jiang Guo whispered, tugging at Jiang Bei’s backpack strap again.

Jiang Bei subtly pulled the strap of her backpack back and whispered, "I saw it."

"My brother-in-law felt sorry for my sister's pregnancy and all that she was going through, so he carried her around," Jiang Guo explained to Jiang Bei. "He carried her from the hospital to the train station, and then from the train station to home."

Jiang Bei was astonished: "That amazing?"

Her gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Lu Yanxun, her eyes filled with undisguised envy.

His sister isn't fat, but it was really unexpected that he carried her that far.

Jiang Bei was fifteen years old and already quite tall, but compared to Lu Yanxun, he still looked like a skinny monkey.

I wonder if I'll be as successful as my brother-in-law in the future.

Jiang Zao looked at her younger siblings, who had such gossipy expressions, and was a little speechless.

These two could speak a little louder.

This way, people outside the yard can hear it too.

"Xiao Bei?" Jiang Zao called out to Jiang Bei.

“Sister.” Jiang Bei smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.

Jiang Zao couldn't help but smile at him. She was very satisfied with this younger brother. He was tall, handsome, and full of vigor. Even at fifteen, he was already a handsome young man in the making.

She's the kind of character who'll charm countless young girls in the future.
