Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

"Sister-in-law, I was just saying what I was planning, I didn't mean to put anyone in a bad light. Also," Xu Lin's voice softened, "Aunt Qin is deliberately trying to sow discord in our family. She wants to marry her daughter to Yan Chen."

"What?!" the old man shrieked. "That fat pig of hers wants to marry Yan Chen? She's a toad lusting after a swan! Zhou Yan Chen doesn't even fancy my beautiful cousin, how could he possibly want that ugly hag!"

Thinking of the cousin Liu Huifang brought this morning, Xu Lin pursed her lips. Although she wasn't bad-looking, she wasn't exactly beautiful either. Most importantly, her eyes were not clean, and she spoke in an affected manner. Not to mention her mother-in-law and Yan Chen, she herself felt awkward looking at her.

"Just know that she doesn't have any good intentions. As for Comrade Lu Yan," Xu Lin paused, "I don't think she'd even look at our meager fortune. Go ask her how much money she made selling medicinal mud in the compound. She even cured Dad and Uncle Zhu's old ailments, which shows she's capable. If she marries into our family, she'll only be an asset to us, not someone who'll compete with us for our inheritance."

The military has no shortage of wounded and sick personnel. Lu Yan has the ability to treat and save lives, so she will definitely be able to get along well in the military.

They might have to rely on Lu Yan then.

Liu Huifang: "Sister-in-law, you only met her once, and she drugged you?"

Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Xu Lin sighed, "There's no point in talking when we can't see eye to eye. Sister-in-law, you'd better take care of yourself."

She's said everything she needed to say; saying more would be a waste of breath if people couldn't understand.

Xu Lin walked away.

Liu Huifang watched Xu Lin's retreating figure, spat on the ground, and said, "What kind of person is she, lecturing me!"

Isn't that just saying she's short-sighted and lacks a sense of the bigger picture?

What help can a mere nanny provide?

She doesn't believe it!

-

After Lu Yan and the others arrived at the compound, Zhou Yanxing parked the car and carried Lu Yaguang out.

Lu Yan got out of the car and turned her head to see Liu Jiabao next door leaning against the gate with a cigarette in his mouth, looking all smug.

Upon seeing her, Liu Jiabao's eyes instantly became lewd. Just as he was about to shout a slogan at her, he received a cold gaze.

Faced with Zhou Yanchen's terrifying gaze, Liu Jiabao froze in fright and quickly looked away.

But then he thought, what is there to be afraid of in Zhou Yanchen, a cripple? He turned around and greedily glanced at Lu Yan one more time.

Her butt is really perky and round.

Her skin was very fair.

He could already imagine how beautiful Lu Yan would look naked.

He was engrossed in watching the scene when suddenly a large basin of water was splashed directly at his face.

Zhou Yanxing held the basin and looked at Liu Jiabao, who was soaked to the bone. As if that wasn't enough, he shook the water out of the basin to make sure every drop was poured onto Liu Jiabao.

Liu Jiabao screamed, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Yanxing looked completely innocent. "What did I do? Why are you yelling at me?"

Liu Jiabao pointed at the basin in his hand, "You dare to splash me!"

You spilled it and then pretended not to know!

Zhou Yanxing casually placed the basin in the yard, pointed around, and said, "When did I splash you? Who saw me?"

Liu Jiabao suddenly looked at Lu Yan and Zhou Yanchen.

Lu Yan looked at Zhou Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, did you see that?"

Zhou Nuannuan shook her head. "I didn't see it."

Lu Yan nodded. "I didn't see it either."

After saying that, Lu Yan pushed Zhou Yanchen into the courtyard.

Liu Jiabao wiped the water off his face, shivering from the cold, and stared at Lu Yan's swaying buttocks with his shifty eyes.

He snorted.

This woman will be his sooner or later. When she's crying and begging for mercy under him, let's see if she's still so arrogant!

Lu Yan pushed Zhou Yanchen ahead.

Zhou Nuannuan turned around and saw Liu Jiabao still watching. She was furious. "I really want to gouge his eyes out!"

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Ignore him."

She'd seen too many people like that; the more she gave him a look, the more excited he became.

Find an opportunity to beat him up and he'll behave.

He might think you're flirting with him because it's just a minor squabble.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how ordinary men are.

Seeing no one come out, Lu Yan asked, "Aren't your aunt and uncle home?"

"They probably went out to play."

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo's voices.

"Xiao Lu, you're back?"

Jin Aiyun got off her bicycle and said with surprise.

Lu Yan turned around and greeted Jin Aiyun, "Auntie, Happy New Year."

Jin Aiyun: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! It's good to be back. Come on, let's go inside and warm up."

Zhou Jianguo parked his bicycle in the corner of the yard and strode over.

Lu Yanchong nodded slightly to Zhou Jianguo, "Commander, Happy New Year."

Zhou Jianguo: "Happy New Year."

Jin Aiyun took Lu Yan's hand and said, "Let's go inside first."

Hearing the noise, Xu Lin came downstairs, opened the living room door, saw Lu Yan, and quickly invited her in.

It's not as cold as before after the New Year, so we took the stove out of the house.

Xu Lin gestured for Lu Yan to sit down, then turned to get some snacks for Lu Yaguang.

Jin Aiyun looked around. "Are you home alone?"

Xu Lin brought peanuts and melon seeds and placed them on the table, saying, "The children went out to play together. Changjiang went out to find his comrades, and my second brother and sister-in-law also went out."

As she spoke, Xu Lin grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and handed them to Lu Yan, "Yan Yan, have some sunflower seeds."

Lu Yan quickly reached out and took it, "Thank you, Sister Lin."

After sitting for a while, Lu Yan felt sleepy but was too embarrassed to say so.

Zhou Yanchen glanced at her and suddenly said, "Mom, Ya Guang is a little sleepy. Let him go to sleep for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan glanced at Zhou Yanchen and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It's good to find a man who is attentive.

Jin Aiyun immediately understood Zhou Yanchen's meaning. Seeing that Lu Yan's face did look tired, she quickly said, "Xiao Lu, why don't you take Ya Guang back to your room and get some sleep?"

Lu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and stood up, saying, "Auntie, let's go take a nap first. You don't need to worry about dinner; I'll make it when I get up."

Jin Aiyun: "Okay, okay, okay."

Lu Yan slept until after 5 p.m. When she got up, she saw Lu Yaguang playing with Zhou Changjiang and Zhou Zhibin's children, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

Lu Yan glanced at the ingredients in the kitchen and decided to make a yam and pork rib soup, stir-fry some cumin lamb, and make a cold spinach and wood ear mushroom salad. After thinking for a while, she also cooked a pot of white fungus, red date, and longan porridge.

Xu Lin walked in from outside. "Yanyan, let me help you."

Lu Yan could tell that Xu Lin wasn't just being polite, so she didn't stand on ceremony either. "Sister Lin, could you blanch the mutton in hot water for me, and also soak the white fungus and wood ear mushrooms?"

Xu Lin put on the apron. "Okay."

Xu Lin first soaked the white fungus and black fungus, then cut the mutton, added water to the pot, and started the fire.

As Xu Lin tended the fire, she said, "Ever since I came back, my parents have been talking about your cooking, which shows how delicious it is. I'm definitely going to eat a lot today."
