Chapter 52 : Give her your life.

When Xiao Yuyan said this, he tightened his embrace, making Ye Suiwan feel as if this man wanted to merge her into his body.

What a guy, why did he have to bring them into this!

Divorce happens when someone meets the wrong person. Who would make such a decision for no reason? It must be because they were left with no other choice.

“As long as you don’t have other women, I agree.”

And she firmly believed that Xiao Yuyan would never do such a thing. In their past life, even though he held a high position and many people tried to introduce him to potential partners, he still chose to remain alone, until he found her. How could she not trust him?

“It’s just you. You’ve already got enough to worry about with He He’s situation. Leave the rest to me.”

“Thank you, wife.”

Xiao Yuyan cared about Xiao Hehe’s situation as if she were his own sister, and it was all because of his love for Ye Suiwan!

In his heart, he silently vowed to treat her well for the rest of his life.

Ye Suiwan: “…” Ahem, it’s not just because of me!

“Alright, now onto something important. We only have this afternoon and evening. Go teach them some self-defense techniques, have them memorize the moves, and practice them diligently.”

“Of course, I’ll train with you too. Let’s go!”

Ye Suiwan held Xiao Yuyan’s face and spoke seriously.

“A kiss first?” he teased.

“You…”

Smooch!

“Happy now? Can we go?”

Ye Suiwan rubbed Xiao Yuyan’s face a few more times. If he dared to make another request, he wouldn’t be allowed to sleep on the kang tonight.

“Very happy.” How could he dare say otherwise?

As they stepped out of the house, Lin Lan returned from the backyard carrying a bag.

“Suiwan, come look can you take these things back to your family?”  

“This brat Yuyan only told me about this now. I didn’t have time to prepare more.”

“I know meat and other food supplies are scarce in the city. I processed some venison, and I also got some pheasants, rabbits, bacon, mountain goods, and homemade health tea bags. Take all of these with you.”

As Lin Lan spoke, she opened the bag to show Ye Suiwan.

Ye Suiwan felt like she was being given all the family’s reserves!

“Mom, just give me half. My dad can’t finish all of this by himself.”

“My dad mostly eats at the cafeteria.” He only cooked for himself when he had the time.

Ye Suiwan explained.

“Don’t you have two older brothers?”  

“Take it and divide it among them.”

Lin Lan assumed that there must be more family members back home.

“My eldest brother is at the research institute he has no time to cook. My second brother is in the army he also eats in the cafeteria.”

“As for my grandmother, her youngest son and daughter have remarried, and we have no contact with them.”

“My grandmother and my mother aren’t in the country right now.”

Ye Suiwan took this opportunity to explain her family situation, but everyone present could hear a hint of loneliness and sorrow in her voice and see it in her eyes.

“My good child, it’s alright. Just think of us as your family, and be at ease.”

Lin Lan didn’t know what else to say, so she simply expressed her support.

“Yes, sister-in-law! You have all of us!” Xiao Nuannuan added.

“Yes, I know. Our family will be just fine.”

A warm smile spread across Ye Suiwan’s face, and everyone let out a small sigh of relief.

“Mom, I’ll just take the venison and your health tea bags, we’ll eat the rest here.”

“Right now, I want Ah Yan to teach them some self-defense.”

“Oh, that’s a great idea. I fully support it! You all should learn from Yuyan. He doesn’t come home often.”

Although soldiers get leave once a year, Xiao Yuyan wasn’t able to return home every time.

Lin Lan gave them some encouragement before carrying the bag into the kitchen.

“Wanwan, shall we begin?” Xiao Yuyan asked.

“Yes, let’s get started. Is everyone ready?”

“Listen up, since our time is limited, focus on remembering the movements and key points first. Then find time to practice. No slacking!”

“It’s always good to have some self-defense skills.”

“This is my first request as your sister-in-law. Can you do it?”

Ye Suiwan deliberately spoke in a serious tone, wanting everyone to take the training seriously.

Little did she know, they had been eager to learn for a long time.

When they were younger, they often got into fights with other kids in the village, each of them was fierce in their own way.

Now that they had such an opportunity, of course, they wouldn’t waste it.

“We can do it!”

The four siblings answered in unison.

In the kitchen, Lin Lan wiped her teary eyes.

If Old Xiao were still alive, these children would have been trained from a young age, just like Yuyan.

Back then, she hadn’t wanted He He to suffer, so she never taught her. Now, she regretted it.

Lin Lan clearly noticed the changes in her eldest daughter. She couldn’t even remember the last time He He had come home.

But this time, after talking to her daughter-in-law, she finally looked like the girl she was before marriage.

Bringing this daughter-in-law into the family was truly the right decision. In such a short time, she had changed the entire household.

Lin Lan carefully cut the venison, pheasant, and rabbit keeping a portion of each instead of taking them all. She also set aside most of the other items, except for the health tea bags.

How could she really take as little as her daughter-in-law suggested?

Meanwhile, in the yard, Ye Suiwan watched as Xiao Yuyan instructed his siblings. She thought of how this man had accompanied her in the final days of her past life. Without realizing it, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Yuyan, who had been paying close attention to her, frowned when he noticed.

“Wanwan, do you want to join in too?”

He didn’t call her “wife” this time, since she hadn’t used it earlier. Now was her chance to participate!

She wasn’t sure what she had been thinking about, but moving around would certainly help her feel better.

“Alright!”

Ye Suiwan shook off her thoughts and joined the training.

She had only been back for a short time, so her emotions were still easily affected!

“Sister-in-law, come quickly!”

“Sister-in-law, I’ll study hard! If anyone bullies you, I’ll beat them up!”

Xiao Nuannuan raised her fists in determination.

“Then from now on, I’ll protect you!”

Ye Suiwan replied with a smile.

“We’ll protect sister-in-law too!”

Xiao Chufan chimed in.

“Pfft~”

Xiao Nuannuan stuck her tongue out at her second brother.

“Xiao Nuannuan, I think you’re getting too mischievous. You need to be punished!”

Xiao Chufan smirked and stepped toward her.

“Sister-in-law! Save me! Second brother wants to hit me!”

The yard instantly became lively.

All of Ye Suiwan’s sadness disappeared.

After several hours of learning and practice, everyone finally grasped the basics.

For dinner, Ye Suiwan took the initiative to make porridge and added some spring water with spiritual energy. That way, everyone would feel less sore the next day.

At night, after some light exercise, Xiao Yuyan held Ye Suiwan in his arms and whispered.

“Wife, why did you learn so fast? It’s like you’ve been training for years.”
