Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"You're Ye Chen? That good-for-nothing?"

Tian Zhenguo glanced at Ye Chen with a livid face and accurately described Ye Chen's previous appearance.

Faced with such praise, Ye Chen blushed immediately.

It seems that her father-in-law isn't as heartless as Tian Xiaohui described.

At the very least, they should have inquired about their own affairs; otherwise, how would they know their reputation?

Having left such an impression, I must make a good impression when Yao visits this time.

Otherwise, if they were kicked out, they would be too ashamed to face anyone.

In an instant, Ye Chen thought of many things. He didn't try to explain himself, but instead hurried to the truck bed and carried the gifts he had brought one by one on his shoulder.

Seeing Ye Chen carrying gifts in both hands and half a deer on his shoulder.

Li Xiuqin still felt sorry for her son-in-law, so she quickly winked at Tian Zhenguo.

"I think Ye Chen came with good intentions this time. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Old man, why don't you move the door open and let him in to talk?"

As Li Xiuqin spoke, seeing that Tian Zhenguo showed no intention of making way, she quickly stepped forward and shoved him.

Finally, he whispered something in Tian Zhenguo's ear.

"You stubborn old man, don't you even know what kind of occasion this is?"

"So many villagers are watching here. If something embarrassing happens, will we ever be able to leave our homes again?"

Tian Zhenguo then realized what was happening and saw Ye Chen standing there without a hint of complaint.

The lividity on his face lessened considerably, and he readily accepted the gift.

"Let's go inside and talk!"

Hearing his father-in-law's serious tone, Ye Chen felt uncertain.

Even when facing Wang Jian'an, he could handle things with ease, but now, facing this ordinary middle-aged man, where was Ye Chen's composure?

My heart was pounding!

"Father, Mother, Ye Chen started making arrangements to visit you yesterday."

"This half deer was caught by him in the mountains yesterday. I'll cook it for us at noon, everyone should have a taste."

"snort……"

The atmosphere in the courtyard froze instantly as the door closed.

Tian Xiaohui sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped in, saying only kind words.

Unfortunately, Tian Zhenguo snorted coldly and stared straight at Ye Chen.

"When a son-in-law comes to his father-in-law's house, does he expect to rest?"

"Isn't this your chance to shine? I think you should cook lunch!"

"Dad, how could you do this?" Tian Xiaohui asked, somewhat unwillingly.

Before she could even approach him, Ye Chen had already walked towards the kitchen.

"Since Father has spoken, I'm going to show off my skills no matter what."

"Dad, Mom, you two rest inside. I'll take care of lunch. Xiaohui hasn't been home in a long time, you must have a lot to talk about. You chat first, leave everything to me!"

Ye Chen, looking like he was willing to work hard without complaint, had already gone into the kitchen while he was talking.

Li Xiuqin was initially a little worried, fearing that this unreliable son-in-law might set the kitchen on fire.

After peering outside for a while and seeing that Ye Chen was doing things in a logical and methodical way, he finally felt relieved.

He pulled Tian Xiaohui and went straight into the main room.

"Xiaohui, let Mom see you! It's been years since I last saw you!"

"I must say, you've gained quite a bit of weight since you came back. You must eat a lot of meat, right?"

Li Xiuqin held her daughter's hand, her voice filled with sorrow as she spoke.

Tian Xiaohui also lowered her head, looking dejected.

Thanks to having meat every day lately, Tian Xiaohui has gained a lot of weight.

If she were still as thin and bony as before, Li Xiuqin would probably have cried herself to death on the spot.

"Alright, stop crying. Xiaohui, I've heard that Ye Chen drinks heavily every day, gambles frequently, and beats you up at the drop of a hat. Are these rumors true?"

Suddenly, Tian Zhenguo walked into the room and asked with a gloomy face.

Tian Xiaohui panicked and quickly explained, "Dad, that was all in the past. Ye Chen has changed now."

"I've endured a lot of hardship following him, but as the saying goes, after hardship comes happiness. Now, isn't there hope for the future?"

"Ye Chen has turned over a new leaf and now he knows how to work hard. You wouldn't believe it, he's even renovated his old house and is planning to build a three-story house."

Mentioning Ye Chen immediately energized Tian Xiaohui.

Immediately, he began to describe in detail Ye Chen's various actions.

Tian Zhenguo, who had been looking gloomy, had a hint of doubt in his eyes as he heard the rest.

Why is what Xiaohui said different from what I inquired about two months ago?

"Xiaohui, don't blame your father. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. I didn't come to you before because I couldn't bear the shame, but I'm not stupid."

Tian Zhenguo was afraid that his daughter was deliberately hiding something, so he spoke earnestly.

"Since you're back this time, I might as well give Ye Chen a good look. If he's really reliable, I won't object if you go with him."

"But if he's just pretending today and secretly doing worthless things, I, Tian Zhenguo, would rather lose all face than let my daughter suffer any more!"

Tian Zhenguo's long-suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment.

What parent doesn't love their children?

With such protection, the ice in Tian Xiaohui's heart melted at that moment.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm really doing quite well."

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Ye Chen's cooking is amazing. You'll see once you try it."

"These days, there aren't many men who can cook. If Ye Chen didn't dote on his wife, he wouldn't have this skill!"

Tian Xiaohui was determined to flatter Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this explanation, Tian Zhenguo's expression softened considerably.

But before lunch was served, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Mom and Dad, I'm home."

"By the way, Qin Nan is having lunch at our house today, so you must make sure to treat him well."

Tian Xiaohui's younger brother, Tian Jianzhong, led a woman across the threshold with great joy.

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly saw Tian Xiaohui return, and his expression immediately changed.

"Sis, you're back too? What a coincidence!"

"Sister? Jianzhong, is this the sister you told me about who married someone else and hasn't been home for over three years? You're back this time, probably for some other reason, right? I'm about to marry you, so I'm determined to protect this family today."

Before Tian Jianzhong could even step forward, the woman behind him was already shouting.

It turns out that in the years since Tian Xiaohui left home, her younger brother has reached the age to start a family and build a career.

Qin Nan was Tian Jianzhong's classmate, and the two could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Both sets of parents have met, and they're just waiting to discuss when to get married.

For this reason, Qin Nan treated Tian Xiaohui like a thief, and even added at the end.

"As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; now that she's married, she can't take anything from her parents' home!"

"Sister, Jianzhong and I are getting married soon, and we don't even have enough money from home. Please don't try to take advantage of us!"
