Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

"Tell me, you abandoned your family and left without saying goodbye. Where have you been for the past three years?" Wang Qing'er's voice was calm, but the questioning and dissatisfaction it contained were impossible to ignore.

She wasn't a dramatic person. After the initial shock and anger, she quickly calmed down and decided to find out the truth.

He doesn't have a mouth and isn't willing to speak, so just ask him yourself.

Now that he's back, and the two have several children together, even for the sake of the children, they should clarify things before making any other decisions.

Mu Nan remained silent for a moment, and just as Wang Qing'er was about to start cursing, he finally spoke, his voice somewhat low: "I, I'm going to the army."

Wang Qing'er's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "In the army? You went to fight?"

Mu Nan nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Wang Qing'er sighed inwardly, these two brothers really were born of the same mother.

"Mu Xiao has also gone to the military. Have you met him yet?"

Wang Qing'er also knew that although the two brothers had both gone to the army, there were so many people in the military camp that the two of them might not be able to meet.

Mu Nan nodded again, "Yes, I've met you."

Wang Qing'er's doubts lessened slightly, but she still felt there were many things she didn't understand.

However, her stomach suddenly growled, reminding her that it was time to eat.

"I understand, let's go out to eat!" Wang Qing'er said, turning and walking towards the door.

Heaven and Earth eat the biggest meal.

Seeing this, Mu Nan hurriedly followed, "Qing'er, wife, can you... can you forgive me?"

His voice carried a hint of trepidation and anticipation.

Wang Qing'er paused, glanced back at him, and said indifferently, "Let's just make do like this. For the sake of the children, there's no point in asking whether to forgive or not."

After saying that, she walked out of the room without looking back, leaving Mu Nan standing there alone, lost in thought.

What exactly did my wife mean by that?

Mu Nan was filled with doubts; he simply couldn't figure out his wife's true thoughts.

What do you mean by "just getting by"?

Did she forgive him, or not?

What does "for the sake of the children" mean? Does it mean that you forgave him for the sake of the children?

Mu Nan's mind was filled with a million questions, which made him feel very agitated.

Wang Qing'er walked into the dining room, where several children were already sitting around the table, eagerly waiting for the meal to be served.

"Let's eat!" Wang Qing'er said with a smile.

However, the children did not touch their chopsticks because their father had not yet arrived.

Seeing this, Wang Qing'er sighed helplessly and then asked Mu Yao to call Mu Nan to come and eat quickly.

"Yes, Mother." Mu Yao obediently replied and ran to her room to call for her father.

Not long after, Mu Yao came over, holding Mu Nan's hand.

Wang Qing'er's gaze inadvertently fell on Mu Nan, and she suddenly noticed that his walking posture was a bit strange, as if he was limping.

When Mu Nan looked at her, Wang Qing'er's heart tightened, and she quickly turned her face away, afraid that he would notice her unusual behavior.

She wondered to herself, "Could this person's leg be injured?"

Will I become a cripple?

"Father, please sit here." Mu Yao smiled and pulled her father to the chair next to her mother, then let him sit down.

"Yes, thank you, Yao'er." Mu Nan looked at her well-behaved and sensible daughter with a gratified smile on her face.

Mu Nan injured her leg a month ago. The injury was quite serious, and although she has received treatment for some time, she has not yet fully recovered.

These past few days, due to continuous travel, his legs have started to ache again.

Seeing this, Wang Qing'er beckoned Ying'er over and whispered in her ear, "Ying'er, change the young master's dipping sauce to a non-spicy one."

Since Mu Nan is injured, it's best not to let him eat spicy food, so as not to aggravate his injury.

Ying'er understood immediately and quickly gave Mu Nan a non-spicy dipping sauce.

Mu Nan knew that his wife must have noticed the problem with his leg, and that changing the dipping sauce was at her suggestion. Thinking of how carefully his wife took care of him, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his smile became even brighter.

"Let's eat!" Mu Yao picked up a piece of braised beef and put it in her father's bowl. "Dad, eat some braised beef. Mom made it. It's so delicious."

"Okay, sure." Mu Nan quickly agreed, picked up a piece of beef, and put it in her mouth.

"Daddy, is it delicious?" Mu Yao looked at Mu Nan with a face full of anticipation.

"Mmm, delicious." Mu Nan nodded. His wife hadn't made this braised beef before he left, and the taste was indeed unique.

Just then, Pingping, who was sitting in her high chair, suddenly pointed at the fish balls on the plate and excitedly shouted, "Mommy, eat fish balls!"

Wang Qing'er smiled gently and replied, "Okay, Mommy will cook it for you right away."

As she spoke, she picked up a few fish balls and gently placed them into the pot.

Seeing this, An'an hurriedly added, "Mother, I want to eat pills too!"

Wang Qing'er smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, An'an will eat the pills too."

Just as everyone was immersed in this warm atmosphere, An'an suddenly pointed her little finger at Mu Nan and said in her childish voice, "What does Daddy want to eat? Let Mommy get it for you."

"An'an, be good. Daddy is an adult, you can pick up your food yourself." Mu Nan smiled and gently stroked his daughter's head, speaking softly.

Humph! Those two heartless little brats!

Wow, she really is her father's sweet little darling!

He had only been home for less than half an hour, and his two daughters were already so concerned about him, even ordering their mother around to do things for him.

Watching the interaction between the father and daughters, Wang Qing'er felt a pang of jealousy and muttered to herself.

The atmosphere at the table was somewhat awkward and strange after the meal.

Wang Qing'er was only focused on eating, occasionally picking up food for her son, and didn't even glance at Mu Nan the whole time.

Mu Nan, on the other hand, would steal glances at his wife every now and then, secretly hoping that she would serve him some food.

Every time his gaze met Wang Qing'er's, she would quickly look away, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Then look at the two little girls, one sitting on Mu Nan's left and the other on his right, surrounding their father on both sides, constantly whispering sweet nothings, putting on a show of deep father-daughter affection.

It's true what they say, daughters are closer to their fathers, and sons are closer to their mothers.

After Wang Qing'er finished her meal, she let out a satisfied burp, then turned to Ping'er standing to the side and casually instructed, "Ping'er, have someone prepare an empty room for the young master to stay in."

Ping'er was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and replied softly, "Yes, young mistress."
