Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 264 Xu Ye's Confession (Subscription Request)
The two men chatted while dealing with two prey.

After a while, Zhu Lin and Zhu Li, who had just finished taking a shower, came out together.

Julie's hair was still a little wet. After all, there were few hair dryers nowadays, so everyone relied on towels and let it dry naturally.

The air is dry in the north, so hair dries faster.

Zhu Lin's face was a little pink at this time, and she looked particularly beautiful, so Xu Ye couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Zhu Lin naturally noticed it, and her face turned even redder.

However, she pretended to be calm and asked, "What kind of game did you get? Are you going to eat it tomorrow?"

"It's a hare and a badger. We'll roast them later," Xu Ye explained.

The two pieces of wild game have been processed, and Xu Ye is preparing to skewer them on wood and roast them.

When Zhu Lin heard Xu Ye say that he wanted to roast hares and badgers, her eyes lit up immediately and an expression of anticipation appeared on her face: "Wow, roasted game! I have never eaten it before. I am in for a treat today."

Julie also came over with a smile, looked at the prey in Xu Ye's hand, nodded and praised: "Xu Ye, your skills are really good, you handled it so cleanly and neatly."

Xu Ye smiled and said modestly: "Sister Zhu, you are too kind. These are just some small skills I learned in the countryside. They are not worth mentioning."

Lu Tao interrupted and said, "Xu Ye, don't be so modest. Your cooking skills are rare in the city. When it's ready, you have to let us taste it."

Xu Ye nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

As he spoke, Xu Ye pierced the hare and badger with wooden sticks and prepared to start roasting. Lu Tao helped to bring a small charcoal stove, and Xu Ye lit the charcoal fire skillfully, and slowly roasted the pierced game on the charcoal fire.

Zhu Lin and Zhu Li sat aside, watching Xu Ye skillfully flip the skewers, their eyes full of admiration. Zhu Lin couldn't help but ask: "Xu Ye, where did you learn this skill of grilling wild game? You look so professional."

Xu Ye flipped the skewers and answered with a smile: "When I was in the countryside, I often followed the hunters in the village to hunt. Processing prey and grilling meat were commonplace. After a long time, I learned it."

Zhu Lin nodded, with a hint of envy in her eyes: "It's great. Although life in the countryside is hard, it feels very interesting and I can learn so many things."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Country life is indeed a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of hard work. However, these skills are quite practical."

Julie looked at Xu Ye and her impression of him improved a little.

She found that Xu Ye not only had good skills, but was also humble and easy-going.

However, as an elder sister, she still had some concerns about Xu Ye's background. After all, Xu Ye had just returned from the countryside and many things were still unclear to him.

"You are so talented, you should be very popular with girls in the countryside, right?" Julie took the opportunity to ask.

"I guess so." Xu Ye looked at Julie with a smile.

He knew that he had to explain something.

Otherwise, Julie would definitely not let it go.

He also understood that as an older sister, she naturally didn't want her younger sister to be cheated.

"When I went to the countryside, I married a girl from the next brigade."

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard Xu Ye's words.

The news was so explosive that Zhu Lin started coughing.

"Where is she?" Julie asked with mixed feelings.

In fact, she still hoped that Xu Ye didn't have any emotional debts in the countryside.

I just didn't expect Xu Ye to be so frank and say directly that he got married in the countryside.

"She divorced me. She said she couldn't get pregnant and she couldn't let my Xu family have no descendants. Her family also supported her in doing so."

"However, I never agreed and tried to persuade him to stay before I came back."

"My return this time was actually an accident. I never thought I would have the chance to come back."

"If I hadn't wanted to try to get my parents back from the Northwest, I would have continued to stay there." After saying that, Xu Ye couldn't help but glance at Zhu Lin.

"You should love your lover very much, right?" Zhu Lin asked mysteriously.

"Well, that's natural." Xu Ye said seriously.

When Zhu Lin heard Xu Ye's answer, a complex emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

She originally had a good impression of Xu Ye, but she didn't expect that Xu Ye had already been married in the countryside and even had someone he loved deeply.

Although Xu Ye is now divorced, he obviously still has deep feelings for his ex-wife.

Julie was also stunned. She didn't expect Xu Ye to talk about his past so frankly.

As an elder sister, on the one hand she admired Xu Ye's honesty, but on the other hand she was worried about her younger sister.

Lu Tao listened quietly without interrupting.

He knew that outsiders could not say much about such things, and could only wait and see how Xu Ye and Zhu Lin handled it themselves.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Ye continued: "I know these things may sound complicated, but I think it is necessary to tell you."

"You didn't ask before, so I can't tell you this proactively."

Indeed, no one had asked Xu Ye about this before.

Moreover, Xu Ye's behavior was relatively normal and he didn't reveal anything.

At least that's what Zhu Lin thought.

"That's right, that's right, we understand." Lu Tao immediately tried to smooth things over.

He naturally knew that his sister-in-law had some feelings for Xu Ye, and he felt it was a good thing to talk about it now.

Lu Tao's words eased the atmosphere a little, and Zhu Lin forced a smile, trying to make herself look less embarrassed.

She lowered her head and gently fiddled with the towel in her hand, her heart already in a mess.

Xu Ye's frankness surprised her and made her think more about her own feelings.

She didn't want to destroy other people's feelings, and she didn't want to be blamed.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Strange, why is someone knocking on the door at this time?" Lu Tao looked in the direction of the door in surprise, then got up and went to open it.

"Could it be that your uncle and the others are back?" Julie said with some concern, then got up and followed them.

"Impossible, they will definitely not come back. The only one left is my sister-in-law." Xu Ye also stood up.

"If it really is your sister-in-law, what will you do?" Zhu Lin asked curiously.

Wang Huiyu had no job, and when Xu Meng and Xu Tianmin were arrested, she was left helpless.

Without a job, there is no way to support yourself in Beijing.

"I really don't know, but I feel that his relationship with my cousin is not that stable. Maybe she will take the opportunity to remarry." After saying that, Xu Ye walked towards the door.

At this time, the door was already opened.

Outside the door, it was indeed Wang Huiyu.

When she saw the door open, she ran directly towards Xu Ye and knelt in front of Xu Ye.

"Uncle, please let our family go."

"Please, I kowtow to you."

"They already know they are wrong, and they will move out as soon as they are released." Wang Huiyu kowtowed as she spoke. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"I am just a victim. They tried to take my title deed away from me."

"Moreover, Xu Meng also fired a gun and injured someone. This is a criminal case. Do you think this is just a joke?" As he said that, Xu Ye helped Wang Huiyu up.

Wang Huiyu was stunned by Xu Ye's words. She obviously did not expect Xu Ye to respond to her request so calmly.

Her tears could not stop flowing down, and she said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, I know they did something wrong."

"But...but they are your family after all! You can't just watch them go to jail!"

Xu Ye sighed, his tone calm but firm: "Sister-in-law, I understand your feelings, but this matter is beyond my ability."

"They broke the law, and it's not something I can do about it. You should go find a lawyer and see if there is any legal way to help them."

When Wang Huiyu heard Xu Ye's words, her face turned even paler.

She obviously didn't think about finding a lawyer, or rather, she simply didn't have the ability to find a lawyer.

She was just an ordinary rural woman who knew nothing about the law, let alone finding a lawyer in a place like Beijing.

Zhu Lin also didn't expect that Xu Ye would actually give Wang Huiyu advice.

Zhu Lin looked at Xu Ye, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She found that Xu Ye was not only calm and rational, but also kind-hearted.

This made her like Xu Ye even more.

"You can still live here for the time being. You can't write two Xu characters with one stroke. After all, we are a family."

"Honestly, I didn't expect them to take such an extreme approach."

There was no way Xu Ye would let Xu Tianmin and the others go easily. If it weren't for his excellent skills, Xu Meng would have succeeded.

At that time, it would be even more difficult for him to get them to move out smoothly.

We are all adults and should bear the consequences of our actions.

It's a great kindness that we can allow Wang Huiyu to live here temporarily.

Wang Huiyu's eyes were red and her mood was extremely complicated.

She naturally knew that it was Xu Meng and Xu Tianmin who were wrong.

If she hadn't been so neglected, she might not have been able to get out.

Of course, they did not put some of the blame on her. Their main purpose was to get her to come out and ask Xu Ye for mercy.

The only one who can save them right now is Xu Ye.

Wang Huiyu has no skills at all, and her parents have no skills either, so they still rely on Xu Meng for help.

Wang Huiyu stood in the yard, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with helplessness and despair.

She knew that Xu Ye was right. The actions of Xu Meng and Xu Tianmin had violated the law and it was not something that she, an ordinary woman, could solve.

But she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Xu Ye would be able to help them for the sake of family ties.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't had dinner yet. We are grilling meat. Come and have some later." After saying that, Xu Ye sat back and continued grilling.

Wang Huiyu certainly couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, and she would soon come to her senses and feel happy not having to serve the three members of the Xu family.

At that time, she might not necessarily run around for the Xu family's three members.

Wang Huiyu's mind was in a mess. After hearing what Xu Ye said, she realized that she was indeed hungry, and very hungry.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. I'll go pack some things and send them to them tomorrow." With that, Wang Huiyu walked towards the house where she lived before.

"I have packed my uncle and his friends' things into the room next to yours. You can look for them there." Xu Ye reminded them.

Wang Huiyu nodded and continued walking towards the room.

Everyone turned their attention back and continued to grill the game with Xu Ye.

They have never had the experience of roasting game, but they have eaten Quanjude's roast duck.

But that is completely different from grilling your own game.

"Sister Lin, how are you preparing for tomorrow's audition? Are you confident?" Xu Ye asked casually, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

"There's nothing to prepare. My brother-in-law said that we'll just have to improvise when the time comes." Zhu Lin said a little unconfidently.

"Don't worry, with our Linlin's conditions, there will definitely be no problem." Lu Tao said with a smile.

It's not just because Zhu Lin has good qualifications, but also because he went to find the person in charge of the audition, who will definitely give him face.

After all, it was just a small role, not an important one.

If Zhu Lin performs well, she might be able to get an important role like the second or third female lead.

When it comes to movies, liking is very important.

If the director thinks you can do it, then you can do it.

As for acting, Zhu Lin does have some talent and experience, and he thinks she can do it.

When Zhu Lin heard Lu Tao's encouragement, a smile appeared on her face, but she was still a little nervous.

Although she had some interest in acting, she had not received any systematic training after all.

She wasn't completely confident about tomorrow's audition.

Xu Ye noticed Zhu Lin's nervousness and smiled to comfort her: "Sister Lin, don't worry too much. The most important thing about acting is to relax and put yourself into the role. You are in such good condition, there will be no problem."

Zhu Lin nodded and said softly: "Thank you for your encouragement. I will try my best."

Julie also patted her sister on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Linlin, don't think too much. When you audition tomorrow, just treat it as a trip for fun and relax."

"We don't expect to make a living from this anyway, so let's just consider it as gaining experience."

After hearing what her sister said, Zhu Lin felt a little relieved.

She knew her sister was right, she didn't need to rely on acting to make a living, and this audition was more of an attempt and experience.

Thinking of this, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Xu Ye continued to flip the skewers and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone stop talking, the barbecue is almost ready. Come, try my cooking."

As he spoke, Xu Ye cut the roasted hare and badger into small pieces and distributed them to everyone.

Zhu Lin took the barbecue, took a careful bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's so delicious! Xu Ye, your cooking skills are amazing!" Zhu Lin couldn't help but exclaimed.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "As long as Sister Lin likes it."

Julie also tasted it and nodded in praise: "It's really good, Xu Ye, your cooking skills are really good."

"I think it won't be a problem to apply for the job of a chef." Lu Tao couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"I'll take some to my sister-in-law, you guys eat more." As he said that, Xu Ye cut some badger meat and prepared to give it to Wang Huiyu.

He felt that Wang Huiyu was definitely not in the mood to sit here with them and eat barbecue and chat.
