Chapter 38 : Isn’t this stealing her son-in-law?

Ye Suiwan was very satisfied to see that all the food on the table had been eaten clean.

Before leaving, as usual, she bought six big meat buns for Jiang Sui.

The four of them wasted no time and headed towards the station.

“Brother Yuyan, is it really you?”  

As soon as they got on the bus, a female voice called out from behind.

Xiao Yuyan turned around but didn’t recognize her.

He continued walking toward the back of the bus to find a seat.

Xiao Chufan and Xiao Jinzhou sat in the front, while Ye Suiwan and Xiao Yuyan were going to sit in the row behind them.

“You sit inside.”  

Ye Suiwan had a rough guess about who this person was the secretary’s daughter.

She didn’t want this woman to have any chance to get close to her husband.

Yes, she needed to be on guard.

“Okay.”  

Xiao Yuyan didn’t ask why and just followed her instructions.

“Who are you? Why are you talking to Brother Yuyan like that?”  

Sun Yan said angrily.

“Brother Yuyan?”  

Ye Suiwan ignored the woman and turned to look at Xiao Yuyan.

Just as Xiao Yuyan was about to explain, Xiao Chufan spoke up.

“Brother, this is the secretary’s daughter. You probably don’t remember her.”  

“Sister Sun Yan, this is my sister-in-law, Ye Suiwan. She used to be an educated youth in our brigade. She and my brother have already received their marriage certificate. When we hold the wedding banquet, we’ll be sure to invite Uncle Secretary for a drink.”  

Only then did Xiao Yuyan realize who she was. Just as Xiao Chufan said, he had no impression of her.

“Wife, I really don’t know her, I swear.”  

Xiao Yuyan moved closer to Ye Suiwan and explained.

Ye Suiwan didn’t expect Xiao Chufan to be so sharp. He had completely shut down this Sun Yan with just a few words.

“Xiao Chufan, what are you saying? She… she’s really your sister-in-law?”  

“Yes, Sister Sun Yan, the bus is about to leave. You should find a seat quickly.”  

Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman got on the bus.

Ye Suiwan guessed that this must be the secretary’s wife.

“Yanzi, why are you still standing? Hurry up and find a seat before they’re all taken!”  

“Hey, isn’t this Yuyan? When did you come back?”  

Li Cui immediately greeted Xiao Yuyan when she saw him.

Oh, if they hadn’t heard that the Xiao family boy was back, they wouldn’t have rushed home so eagerly.

They didn’t expect to run into him here.

Xiao Yuyan didn’t know Sun Yan, but he did know Li Cui.

“Auntie, I just came back a few days ago. Today, I went to the county town with my wife to take wedding photos. We’ll be holding the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. You and Uncle Secretary must come.”  

“My wife is Ye Suiwan from Beijing.”  

Xiao Yuyan had already sensed something was off. He had met these people before, but they had never been this enthusiastic. Remembering Sun Yan’s questioning just now, he figured out what was going on.

So, he took the initiative to make his marital status clear.

Seeing that the two women were still standing there, Xiao Yuyan spoke again.

“Auntie, please find a seat. More people are getting on.”  

“Oh… okay!”  

Li Cui was caught off guard and quickly pulled her daughter to sit in an empty seat.

What was going on?  

Xiao Yuyan had only been back for a few days, so how was he already married?  

And what about her daughter?  

Her daughter was already 19 years old, and they had been waiting for Xiao Yuyan to come back so they could arrange their marriage!

However, she still had some sense and knew this wasn’t the right place to ask questions. Otherwise, she’d just embarrass herself.

After all, her husband was the secretary of Xiangyang Brigade, maybe he already knew about this!

If she made a scene in public and embarrassed her husband, he might just send her back to her parents’ home.

She would find out everything once they got back.

And that Ye Suiwan… how could she not know who she was?

She had only been in the countryside for a short while, but she was already acting like a vixen, doing nothing but picking grass for pigs all day. It was obvious she wasn’t a decent woman.  

She must have seduced Xiao Yuyan.  

She had stolen her son-in-law!  

Her husband had mentioned that the Xiao family boy had been promoted again. If her daughter married him, she would become an officer’s wife!  

She could even follow him to the army, receive a steady salary every month, and live a leisurely life without doing any farm work.  

And with his salary, there would be no problem supporting an extra person meaning she, as the mother-in-law, could live with them too!  

So, when they heard that Xiao Yuyan was coming home to visit, they rushed back. But why were they still too late?  

Li Cui was so angry that she was grinding her teeth.

“Mom, this can’t be real. How could Brother Yuyan be married?”  

“And so quickly too! Military marriages have to be reported in advance. Dad said it takes at least ten days to half a month for the approval.”  

“Mom, what do we do? What do we do?”  

Sun Yan choked up, barely holding back her tears.

She wanted nothing more than to tear apart that fox-faced Ye Suiwan.

She had to admit that she was beautiful, but Brother Yuyan wouldn’t marry someone just for their looks!

Besides, Ye Suiwan was completely useless when it came to work. Aunt Xiao definitely wouldn’t want a daughter-in-law like her.

It must be because she seduced Brother Yuyan.  

That had to be it!

“It’s all your fault! You insisted on staying in the city for a few more days. We should have gone back as soon as we heard the news!”  

Li Cui scolded her daughter in frustration.

If this girl couldn’t marry an officer, all the effort they had put into raising her would be wasted.

“Mom! How is this my fault?”  

Sun Yan was furious.

Although the mother and daughter were speaking softly, Ye Suiwan’s hearing was much sharper now. As long as she concentrated, she could hear everything clearly.

At this moment, she was convinced that calling her father and urging him to approve the marriage report quickly was the right decision. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble these people might try to stir up?

If they dared to scheme now, it would be considered interfering in a military marriage, a crime that could land them in jail.

Even if these two women weren’t afraid, the secretary would definitely have to think twice before getting involved.

“Wife, I… I was wrong.”  

Xiao Yuyan looked panicked. He didn’t know what his wife was thinking, and she was completely ignoring him. He would rather she scolded or hit him than stay silent like this!

“Sister-in-law, my big brother really doesn’t know her. Maybe he just saw her around when they were kids. Back then, she even scolded us!”  

Xiao Chufan hurried to explain for his brother.

He really liked this new sister-in-law. She seemed like a good match for his big brother. And he knew his brother well enough, if he chose to marry her, then she must be special.

‘Ye Suiwan: “… Could it be that your big brother was just charmed by my looks?’
