Chapter 39 : I want to trouble you with something.

Ye Suiwan naturally believed what they said, but no one would be happy knowing that someone else was thinking about their man.  

“She scolded you?”  

Ye Suiwan grasped the key point.  

“Yeah, she called us fatherless kids, but she didn’t dare to say it in front of Big Brother.”  

Xiao Chufan was no longer angry when he saw his sister-in-law asking about it, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.  

“Why didn’t you tell me?”  

Xiao Yuyan immediately questioned.  

“I, we…”  

“If anyone bullies you in the future, scold them back, hit them back, and if you can’t win, run away. Your sister-in-law will support you.”  

“When we get home, you two will learn military boxing from your elder brother for the next few days. Make time to practice while you’re in school.”  

“What do you think, Yuyan?”  

Ye Suiwan naturally understood the concerns of her brothers-in-law. They wouldn’t want to trouble Xiao Yuyan with such trivial matters.  

They must have been looked down upon a lot since they were young, just because they lost their father.  

Ye Suiwan never knew much about Father Xiao. Even from what she learned in her previous life, she only knew that their family came to Xiangyang Brigade when Xiao Yuyan was the only child. Father Xiao died 13 years ago as a martyr. At that time, Lin Lan had just become pregnant with Xiao Nuannuan.  

“Yes, I was negligent. Thank you, Wanwan.”  

At this moment, Xiao Yuyan realized that he had cared too little about his family.  

After seeing his eldest sister’s boyfriend not long ago, he felt even more guilty.  

Apart from sending money home, he had done very little else.  

And money alone wasn’t enough.  

Ye Suiwan keenly noticed his emotions and held his hand tightly.  

“Ayan, you’ve done great.”  

“They all look up to you, and you’ve set a great example as a big brother.”  

Ye Suiwan spoke sincerely, her eyes full of conviction.  

“Yes, big brother!”  

“Yes, brother!”  

Xiao Chufan and Xiao Jinzhou echoed in agreement.  

Xiao Jinzhou wasn’t a talkative person, but whenever he spoke, he meant it.  

“Alright. No matter what happens in the future, you must tell Big Brother. We are family, and nothing is too big or too small to share.”  

This was the first time Xiao Yuyan had ever said such words to his two younger brothers.  

“Okay, you guys take a nap on the ride back. We’ll be busy when we get home.”  

“Got it, Big Brother!”  

Xiao Chufan and Xiao Jinzhou turned around and sat down.  

The few of them spoke in low voices, and no one else on the bus paid attention to their conversation.  

“Ayan, tell me, what happened?”  

Ye Suiwan had been asleep on the way here. Now that she wasn’t sleepy, she wanted to ask Xiao Yuyan about what had happened. The two brothers had been in a bad mood after he brought them back. Was it because of Xiao Hehe?  

“Eldest sister is coming!”  

Ye Suiwan continued asking.  

“Yes, she’ll be here early tomorrow morning.”  

“I’ll ask Chu Fan to pick her up in town.”  

“Wife, I need to trouble you with something.”  

Xiao Yuyan looked at Ye Suiwan seriously.  

“We are a married couple. If you say the word ‘trouble’ again, I’ll get angry.”  

“Your business is my business, remember?”  

Ye Suiwan pretended to be angry.  

“Alright, I remember. I was wrong, wife.”  

“Let me tell you…”  

Xiao Yuyan then told Ye Suiwan everything about his encounter with Li Yang and how he had asked his friends to investigate.  

Ye Suiwan was so shocked that she almost blurted out, “How did you know that?”  

Fortunately, she caught herself in time and swallowed the words.  

It was a good thing that Xiao Yuyan had found out. She had been worried about how to tell him!  

In his previous life, Xiao Yuyan had definitely never encountered this, because he had never gone to the county town at this time.  

Sure enough, many things had changed in this life.  

“So my wife, once my eldest sister arrives, can you…”  

“I understand. I’ll definitely find out the truth. Don’t worry, she is your sister, and she is also my sister. If that man dares to let her down, he must bear the consequences and give her a proper explanation.”  

“And even if she wants a divorce, I’ll support her coming home. Besides, doesn’t she still have a job? Right?”  

Ye Suiwan took the opportunity to express her thoughts. She wanted to make it clear to Xiao Yuyan that she wouldn’t be influenced by the old-fashioned belief that women couldn’t get divorced.  

Not to mention, after living a second life, she knew that divorce wouldn’t be a big deal in the future. Even when her parents divorced when she was seven, she had accepted it well.  

Although she hadn’t understood it then, she respected both of them. Later, she had come to understand why they divorced.  

It was for the protection of both parties.  

Her grandfather’s family was wealthy capitalists, while her father was a soldier. Her mother didn’t want to affect her father’s future, and her father didn’t want her mother to suffer persecution in the country. On top of that, there were three siblings to consider.  

Following their father had obviously been the best choice at the time. Perhaps leaving Sun Qianqian and her mother in the Ye family was also a way to protect them.  

Of course, Ye Suiwan had only figured this out later.  

Now, it was time for Sun Qianqian and her mother to leave the Ye family. Even if her father had his reasons back then, he had indeed raised Sun Qianqian all these years. They no longer owed each other anything.  

When the mother and daughter plotted against the Ye family, they should have considered the consequences of being found out.  

After hearing what Ye Suiwan said, Xiao Yuyan really wanted to hug her.  

He hadn’t expected his wife to immediately think so far ahead after hearing his words.  

He knew his sister well. If she learned the truth about Li Yang, she would break up with him decisively.  

When she cared about you, she was wholehearted. She would do anything for you as long as it was worth it. But once you truly hurt her, she could be more ruthless than anyone else.  

This trait was just like their father.  

“Wife, I’ll listen to you. Don’t worry about my sister handling it. She won’t blame you, she’ll only be grateful to you. So you don’t have to worry that she won’t believe you when you tell her.”  

“I don’t want to worry Mom until we’ve handled this. It’s already embarrassing enough for a brother like me to be telling his sister about this… so thank you, my wife.”  

Xiao Yuyan held Ye Suiwan’s hand tightly, expressing his gratitude.  

“Hmph, I don’t want just a verbal thank you. You have to be good to me in the future, or else I’ll—”  

“I won’t! Don’t say that word.”  

Xiao Yuyan anxiously interrupted her.  

He didn’t want to hear her say “divorce,” not even as a joke.  

Not in this life, not even in the afterlife.  

He knew his young wife well, she meant everything she said.  

And that scared him.  

“Alright, I won’t say it. You’re mine now.”  

Ye Suiwan quickly said something sweet to soothe him.  

The two of them quietly chatted the rest of the way. Soon, the bus arrived at the commune.  

“Chufan, Jinzhou, get ready to get off.”  

Xiao Yuyan reminded them from behind.  

“Okay, Big Brother.”  

They had already been awake for a while.  

The four of them got off the bus and walked away quickly. As for Li Cui and Sun Yan on the bus, to be honest, they had long been forgotten.  

“Mom, look! Brother Yuyan didn’t even say hello before leaving!”  

After getting off the bus, Sun Yan stomped her feet in frustration.  

“Let’s go home.”  

Li Cui glared at Ye Suiwan’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with resentment.
