1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 936 Do you want me to end up like my older brother, separated from my wife and children?

Xiao Nianchun trembled all over when she thought about what had happened.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xue felt disgusted with her aunt's parents. Knowing her aunt's situation, they still insisted on provoking her.

He stepped forward, walked to the bedside, hugged his sitting aunt, and without saying anything, just gently patted her back.

Xiao Nianchun burst into tears; her voice was soft, but it was heartbreaking.

The emotions that had been calmed down over the past few days collapsed again after seeing the Qiu family elders.

Qiu Jinzhou had been paying close attention to the situation here: "Do you want me to end up like my brother, separated from my wife and children?"

Before Qiu's father could speak, Qiu's mother said, "What are you saying? I just wanted to persuade you to go back and celebrate the New Year together since it's almost here. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. You and your brother can't really become enemies, can you?"

Qiu Jinzhou looked at his father: "Didn't I make myself clear enough before? Are you trying to force our whole family to our deaths?"

Knowing that his son didn't want to see them—or rather, his daughter-in-law—Qiu's father quickly explained, "Jinzhou, don't be angry, we'll leave now."

Mrs. Qiu grew anxious: "Old man, we haven't finished talking yet, why are you leaving?"

Mr. Qiu reached out and tugged at his wife's sleeve: "Alright, what did we say when we came here? Since there's no room for negotiation, let's not force our son."

"Can"

Before Qiu's mother could say anything more, Qiu's father pulled her outside.

After leaving the courtyard, the couple kept glancing at the house next door, hoping their daughter-in-law would consider their past relationship and let their grandchildren come out so they could see them. However, even after they reached the hanging flower gate, their grandchildren did not appear.

Qiu Yiming is already ten years old. He knows everything that happened in his family. If his grandmother hadn't always spoiled his aunt—no, that woman doesn't deserve to be called his aunt—his sister wouldn't have been killed. If it weren't for their repeated attempts to mediate, that woman's family wouldn't have acted so recklessly, ultimately causing his mother to suffer the pain of losing her son again.

If they cared about their father, they shouldn't have come today. They knew that seeing them would remind their mother of what happened before, but they still came for their own selfish reasons. At such a young age, he saw his mother suppressing her tears, and his eyes turned red.

Seven-year-old Qiu Yilin listens to her brother in everything. Since her brother didn't go out this time, she naturally wouldn't go out either. She had heard plenty of gossip from the aunties and older women in the courtyard.

After watching the two leave through the hanging flower gate, Qiu Jinzhou returned to the house and said, "Nianchun, don't cry. It hurts me to hear you cry. Let's look forward. We still have Yiming and Yilin to take care of."

Xiao Nianchun slowly stopped crying when she heard her son and daughter's names.

Chu Xue helped her lie down: "Aunt, sleep if you're tired. Everything will be alright. Uncle is right. Since things are irreversible, look forward and don't hurt Yi Ming and Yi Lin anymore."

After being comforted for a while, Xiao Nianchun's mood gradually calmed down, and she soon fell asleep.

After helping her tuck in the blanket, the group moved to the next room.

Chu Xue opened the cloth bag she had brought: "Uncle, these red dates were sent to my aunt by my sister. These green vegetables were grown by my parents in a greenhouse covered with plastic sheeting behind the house. There aren't many, but I gave some to my aunt so she can have something different to eat when you cook for her, and it will cheer her up."

"And this beef and mutton, I brought back from my business trip to Inner Mongolia. It's not much, but it should be enough to make dumplings for Yiming and Yilin tomorrow night."
