Yunâs father was taken aback. He knew that his eldest daughter-in-law missed her family, but he didnât expect that she was constantly bringing things back to them. No matter how much they earned at home, they would only become poorer with a prodigal daughter-in-law.
Finally, he understood why they had no money when Xiaoze fell ill years ago.
He wondered how the eldest son could be so oblivious to what his wife was doing.
It was fine for now, but Xiaoliang and Xiaoze were growing up. There would be more expenses in the future and a good mother should save up for her son, shouldnât she?
He didnât know what to say about his eldest daughter-in-law anymore.
âYou should go back with Zhang Jiang!â Yunâs father finally decided to take this matter to heart.
It was time for them to be filial. After all, the three sons had married and started families of their own.
âXiaomen, what did you say to Dad?â Zhang Jiang asked as soon as they left the Yun Family abode.
Xiaomen smiled, âNothing much, just that you should bring Little Zhuzi to visit the third sister-in-law in town tomorrow, and ask her to come back to the village on the second day of the lunar month for some matters.â
Xiaomen did not elaborate, but planned to remind Zhang Jiang again tomorrow. It was good this way, if the third sister-in-law really lived in Kyoto, she might not return for several years, and sending money back would help to quell the gossip.
Military Division, Magic City.
âCaptain, are you missing your sister-in-law?â
Yun Hao glanced at Lu Jianjun. Wasnât this question already answered?
He missed his wife, so what?
At least he had a wife to miss, unlike some people who were still single.
âYouâre not getting any younger, when are you going to find someone?â
Lu Jianjunâs eyes widened, unable to believe that these words came from the captainâs mouth.
Was he hearing things?@@novelbin@@
Yun Hao slapped his shoulder, âYouâre not dreaming.â
Was it that obvious?
âCaptain, Iâm not in a hurry.â
âMy son should be able to call people by now.â Yun Hao had some concern for Huzi, who was always competing with him for his wife and son.
âLittle Huzi is just over half a year old, he shouldnât be able to call people yet, right?â Lu Jianjun voiced uncertainly.
Yun Hao glanced at him, âWhat information are you hiding from me about your trip to Kyoto?â
Lu Jianjunâs heart skipped a beat. The captain saw right through him.
âCaptain, letâs take a walk.â
Yun Hao didnât object, he followed Lu Jianjun to the training field.
âCaptain, I want to take revenge, but I know Iâm not strong enough. Thatâs why I asked you to come with me to Kyoto. Captain, I trust only you.â
Then, Lu Jianjun succinctly described why he wanted to take revenge.
âPerhaps thereâs more to the story?â
Lu Jianjun scoffed, âWhatâs more? Captain, youâve saved me many times, and it wasnât just coincidental, she was behind it all.â
Yun Hao punched him lightly on the shoulder, âBrother.â
Lu Jianjun beamed, a smile so brilliant and somewhat innocent, âCaptain, big brother.â
The two men confirmed their lifelong bond. Their brotherhood was unaffected by the passage of time, changes in status, or temptations. They were brothers for life.
âCaptain, I heard you received some chicken from my sister-in-law. Can you share one with me?â Lu Jianjun wore a look of a food enthusiast.
Yun Hao glanced at him and replied with a poker face, âYou have a lot of free time.â
Lu Jianjun laughed heartily, the captain was still protective of the gifts from his sister-in-law.
He wondered when he would find a woman as good as his sister-in-law, one who selflessly cared for the captain.
