Chapter 32 Goodbye
"I remember it was July of 1942, when the Japanese launched a raid. When we received the news, the Japanese were almost right under our noses. An infantry squadron and a tank detachment drove over so brazenly. We were too late..."

When Ye Muxue returned to the Wu family compound, Old Wu was helping to pick vegetables in the kitchen while telling battle stories to Little Tiantian. Luo Xiu'e and Yang Xue, who had just got off work, were listening to stories while cooking and whispering to each other at the same time... It was quite magical, could it be that they had also practiced?
"aunt!"

Tiantian had sharp eyes and saw Ye Muxue walking in and called out crisply.

"Tiantian, do you miss your aunt?" Ye Muxue walked in and put a paper bag in her hand on the stove: "Today, I'm going to have an extra dish. My friend invited me to Quanjude to eat roast duck. I thought it was delicious, so I brought one back."

"I thought about it!" Tiantian's eyes were originally looking at Ye Muxue. When he heard that there was roast duck in the paper package, he couldn't take his eyes away.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Muxue looked at this little guy, all his thoughts were written on his face.

"That..." Tiantian was a little confused.

"It's all in your mouth?" Ye Muxue teased him deliberately.

"Yes!" Little Tiantian didn't know what he was answering anymore. His little nose was moving, looking strange... pitiful.

"Give you a duck leg!"

Ye Muxue opened the oil paper bag, tore off a duck leg and gave it to Xiao Tiantian: "Eat it!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Little Tiantian thanked it sensibly, took the duck leg with both hands, took a big bite and bit it... He bit it up, but couldn't bite it off, as his teeth were so small that their tearing ability was a little poor.

"Muxue, don't spoil him!" Yang Xue looked at Ye Muxue helplessly.

"Of course we should indulge them if there are conditions."

Ye Muxue said calmly: "Whether a child has a promising future or not depends on education."

"Sister-in-law, my brother hasn't come back yet?"

Yang Xue looked at the sky and said, "Are you coming back soon? We have to transfer the car twice here."

"Aunt is here too, and I have something to talk to you about." Ye Muxue glanced at Luo Xiu'e.

When Old Wu heard this, he silently picked up Tiantian and went back to his room… Although he and the Ye family had only had a few meals together, the old injuries and new diseases left on his body were washed away by a kind of warmth, which made him feel very comfortable. Most importantly, he always woke up several times in pain in winter in previous years, but he slept soundly yesterday. Of course, whether it was related to the meal at Xiao Ye's house needed further observation. If he said it now, it would only confuse people. He was already past the age of recklessness. After more than ten years of ordinary life, his edges and corners had been smoothed by pain.

Ye Muxue was quite satisfied with Old Wu's attitude. Although what she wanted to say was not a secret, it was a family scandal, so she naturally didn't want outsiders to listen. As for the child, he was still young, so it was best not to listen. The food was almost ready, so it was okay to listen distractedly. Luo Xiu'e and Yang Xue didn't think the situation was serious...Ye Muxue's expression was very serious. She suddenly thought of something during the day -

In her previous life, when she went home, Yang Xue was a housewife... that is, she had no job. Later, she heard that Yang Xue originally had a job, but when she gave birth, she was deceived by her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, who said that they would work for her and return her after her maternity leave. As a result, she waited... Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and could never come back. From then on, Yang Xue was unhappy, and this might be the reason.

"Aunt, was my sister-in-law's current job arranged by you and my uncle before her marriage?" Ye Muxue looked at Luo Xiu'e.

"Yes." Luo Xiu'e looked at her in confusion, then looked at Yang Xue who was equally confused.

Ye Muxue thought about it and decided to just speak out her "guess".

"What? No way?" Yang Xue and Luo Xiu'e looked at each other.

"What's impossible about this? My mother and my third brother are such selfish people, there's nothing they can't do." Ye Muxue curled her lips in disapproval.

"What does 'in-laws' mean?" Luo Xiu'e gasped in anger.

"The meat is rotten in the pot." Ye Muxue summed up Ye Tang's attitude in one sentence.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Luo Xiu'e looked at Ye Muxue suspiciously.

"I?"

Ye Muxue smiled and said, "I should ask my sister-in-law if she has any plans for the future?"

"What are my plans?" Yang Xue hasn't reacted yet.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to work after giving birth to the baby?" Ye Muxue looked at the person in question.

Yang Xue glanced at her mother and said, "Of course I do. I don't want to be a housewife who only works around the stove. My mom and dad spent so much money on favors in the beginning, hoping that I can be independent and strong and no longer rely on men for food. If I give up, it will not only disappoint me, but also my mom and dad. In the future... in the future, I have to set an example for my children! Mu Xue, you have a quick mind, give me an idea, your brother is a person who works hard, he is not good at talking, and he is soft-hearted, so he doesn't have any ideas."

Luo Xiu'e didn't say a word the whole time. From the moment she saw Ye Muxue, she knew that this girl was a person with her own ideas and she also considered her brother and sister-in-law, especially since she was not on the same page with her mother's family... She had heard from her daughter about what was going on in the Ye family. This time she came back to see such a big thing, she believed that her daughter would not suffer any loss.

"Simple,"

Ye Muxue said, "Sign a written document now. Aunt and uncle also paid favors and money to get this job... 800 yuan is enough to scare them away. Sister-in-law, just say that you can do this job or not, but you spent 800 yuan at the beginning. If you don't want to do it, you have to return the 800 yuan. The written document will serve as evidence! As for whether my third brother will take over this job temporarily or occupy it permanently, go and talk to uncle... My father can't afford to lose face, so don't worry."

"Is it okay?" Yang Xue was a little lacking in confidence.

Luo Xiu'e was angry at him for not fighting back: "Why not? You have to straighten your back..."

The gate of the courtyard rang loudly, and in the main room, little Tiantian was the first to shout, "Dad is back!"

"Don't run, you might fall!" Old Wu was about to come out to hug Tiantian.

Ye Muxue went out first and picked up Tiantian: "Come on, let's go open the door, Dad is back."

Outside the yard, Ye Musong was fiddling with his feet at the door anxiously, looking timidly at the two police officers opposite him, especially the male police officer, whose eyes were like knives. Ye Musong felt inexplicably uneasy.

"When did you move in?" The female police officer's eyes weren't that scary, but her words were as sharp as a knife.

"It was just... yesterday." Ye Musong answered honestly.

"you……"

The female police officer wanted to ask more questions, but the gate opened and a woman came out holding a child: "Brother, you're back... Public Security Sun, how did you find yourself here?"
