Chapter 51 : The best choice.

At this moment, her sister-in-law’s words made her begin to waver.  

Some things need to be resolved.  

If you escape or turn a blind eye, you will be the only one who suffers, and the people who truly care about you will worry and feel sad for you.  

If the previous choice was wrong, she was willing to correct it, no matter the cost.  

Because being wrong is being wrong, and continuing with the mistake is hopeless. Only by stopping the loss in time can one gain a new life.  

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hehe finally looked at Ye Suiwan again.  

In a short period of time, her inner struggle and hesitation had disappeared.  

Leaders always say that women hold up half the sky. As long as they study, work hard, and keep progressing, what does it matter if there are some negative voices?  

After her father passed away, her mother raised several children alone. Even though she lost many things, she still relied on her medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded, eventually settling in the Xiangyang Brigade.  

She could do the same.  

If she wasn’t sure before what her elder brother and sister-in-law had discovered, she was now absolutely certain that they must have seen something when they went to the county town and met Li Yang, which led to this conversation.  

She couldn’t think of any other possibility, but she was grateful regardless.  

Her sister-in-law’s words had undoubtedly opened up a new perspective and given her a new way out.  

“Yes, sister-in-law, thank you. I understand, and I know what to do.”  

When Ye Suiwan heard Xiao Hehe’s firm tone and saw the sudden gleam in her eyes, she knew that this conversation had been effective.  

“Good. Your eldest brother, mother, younger siblings, and I will support you in whatever you do, but remember no matter what, you must protect yourself. Mutual destruction is the worst outcome.”  

“Our Hehe is very smart. If you need anything, just tell sister-in-law. I can give you advice.” She could even personally step in to help solve the problem.  

“How about coming with us tomorrow morning? I’m going back to my parents’ home tomorrow and will take the train to the county town.”  

Ye Suiwan knew that Xiao Hehe had work tomorrow and had to go back tonight, but at this moment, she thought that Xiao Hehe should learn a few self-defense moves at home. While this kind of skill couldn’t be mastered overnight, continuous practice would help!  

If she ever faced a tough situation, it could come in handy.  

In both her past and present lives, Ye Suiwan believed that having self-defense skills was extremely important. If she had been able to fight off five people at once in her past life, many things wouldn’t have happened.  

“Sister-in-law, are you taking my brother back to Beijing?”  

Xiao Hehe asked in surprise.  

“Isn’t that normal? Your eldest brother is so outstanding, why should he be ashamed of himself?”  

Ye Suiwan was a bit amused and confused. What kind of reaction was this?  

But she realized she hadn’t yet mentioned her family’s attitude towards Xiao Yuyan, which might have led to this misunderstanding.  

“No, that’s not it… It’s just that… Well, eldest brother is a very good person, and we have to face what we must face. But if he marries you and brings you home, Uncle Ye will definitely have objections.” If their father were still alive, he would also be reluctant to let him get married.  

Xiao Hehe spoke truthfully.  

“Well, no matter whose precious daughter gets taken away, the family will be reluctant!”  

“Don’t worry, your brother can take a beating!”  

Xiao Hehe nodded in agreement, so what if he got beaten? Marrying such a good wife was worth a few beatings.  

At this moment, Xiao Hehe found herself supporting Uncle Ye’s decision to beat up her eldest brother a little.  

“Alright, let’s go out. I have something to discuss with your brother.”  

Ye Suiwan took Xiao Hehe’s hand and walked outside.  

She didn’t ask about what had happened between Xiao Hehe and Li Yang. She felt that Xiao Hehe might already know. How could two people living together not notice something unusual?  

She was actually looking forward to seeing how Xiao Hehe would handle things next.  

If she truly couldn’t handle it, then Ye Suiwan would step in. One thing was certain, Li Yang was not worthy of Xiao Hehe, and she deserved better.  

Divorce was Xiao Hehe’s best option.  

Of course, this was just her personal opinion, and the final decision was still in Xiao Hehe’s hands.  

All she could do was ensure that, no matter what choice Xiao Hehe made, she would have enough security. Even if she had to support this sister-in-law, she had the means. After all, with her golden finger (her advantage), how could she ever lack food or resources?  

As for why things had turned out the way they did in her previous life, it no longer mattered. The real Xiao Hehe was stronger and smarter than the one she had learned about through mere words.  

Now that many things had changed, she might as well make them better.  

When the two of them came out, Xiao Yuyan and his companions had just finished drying the herbs.  

“Ayan.”  

“I’m here. I told Mom that we’re leaving tomorrow, and she’s already packing things for us to take along.”  

Xiao Yuyan quickly responded when he heard Ye Suiwan’s voice.  

“Sister-in-law, Mom just hit eldest brother! This is the first time we’ve ever seen that!”  

Xiao Nuannuan, always eager for excitement, didn’t hesitate to share the news with her sister-in-law.  

“What?”  

Ye Suiwan and Xiao Hehe both looked incredulous when they heard this.  

“Wife.”  

Xiao Yuyan then pulled her into the house, leaving Xiao Hehe outside.  

The word “wife” startled the four younger siblings standing in the yard. Then, they realized they had just been fed a mouthful of dog food (public displays of affection).  

But they had just eaten, so they weren’t hungry at all.  

“Oh wow, big brother has really changed!”  

Xiao Hehe knew best after all, she and Xiao Yuyan were close in age and had spent the most time together.  

“That’s great! He’s finally popular now.”  

Xiao Nuannuan liked this version of her big brother and adored her sister-in-law even more.  

“Sister, you haven’t come to see me in a long time.”  

At that moment, Xiao Nuannuan came over to Xiao Hehe.  

She had practically been raised by Xiao Hehe, so naturally, their bond was deep.  

Inside the house.  

“Wife, Mom scolded me for not telling her in advance, which caught her off guard, so she slapped me.”  

Xiao Yuyan pulled Ye Suiwan into his arms and explained in an aggrieved tone.  

“Well, I’m not worried. A slap from Mom is just like a tickle.”  

“I talked to Hehe, and she should be able to handle things. But to be safe, can you ask your friend in the county to keep an eye on her situation?”  

“It will take us more than 10 days to go to Beijing and back. You won’t be able to stay long after we return because you’ll have to report to the military. If her in-laws are difficult to deal with, we’ll handle it when we return. I fully support Hehe’s divorce.”  

“After I go with you to the military, I will make money, and our family won’t have to rely on savings.” So, you don’t have to worry about supporting one more person.  

Ye Suiwan felt the need to explain her stance to Xiao Yuyan again.  

Honestly, her feelings toward the Xiao family were complicated. Beyond her love for Xiao Yuyan, she now considered his family her own after marriage. She also had a sense of wanting to make amends.  

“Thank you, my dear wife. I can support you without you making money, okay?”  

“As for your idea, I know you mean well for Hehe, and I support you—but divorce must never happen to us.”  

“You have to promise me.”
