The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 239 Taking the first step

Su Lan was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

Song Yunduan's face darkened, and so did Li.

Putting aside what Shen Yan and Master Yi said, the words "no future" from Yanyan's mouth were heartbreaking and unpleasant to hear.

These words suddenly touched the sensitive part deep in Li's heart.

Yanyan was only eight years old, no one would suspect her of lying, and she had a gentle personality.

Su Lan couldn't help but have doubts.

Is it true that mothers are violent towards others?

After Yanyan finished speaking, she became as nervous as a frightened bird. She hid her head behind the bowl and her fear was obvious.

It's pitiful.

"This kind of thing was done by the eldest aunt? She insulted the younger generation and still had the nerve to seek medical treatment. Let her suffer the consequences!" Jiang Zhan spoke sharply and was filled with indignation.

"Oops! It was definitely my fault."

Shen Yan was worried that this incident would affect the harmony between the brothers, so she apologized sincerely.

"When I saw my aunt was about to start a fight, I pushed her away in a panic. I didn't expect her to fall. Uncle Jiang, go and have a look. But I didn't use much force, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

After saying that, Shen Yan hurriedly picked up an empty bowl, picked up a few pieces of chicken along with chicken legs and wings, approached Su Lan, and stuffed them into his hands while he was stunned.

"Brother Lan, take it back and give it to Auntie to nourish her body. I really didn't mean it."

Su Lan's mood became even more confused.

The eyes of the woman in front of him were full of apology and regret, which was completely different from when she scolded her mother just now.

"My aunt borrowed the cart and hasn't returned it yet. I was just a little anxious and accidentally angered her."

She frowned, looking annoyed.

Su Lan had never looked closely at the Shen family girl before, but now that she was close, she realized that

My sister-in-law is truly a stunning beauty. No wonder my mother often says that she is charming and enchanting.

Su Lan's cheeks flushed, and she awkwardly pushed away the bowl: "No, no, no, it's indeed my mother who is in the wrong."

"Uncle Jiang, please go there."

"Yunduan, I...I'm going back to the house first!"

Su Lan's steps became disorderly, and he turned and left in a hurry.

Song Yunduan's eyes were slightly cold.

Master Yi snorted, "Sister-in-law asked Auntie to return the car because she felt sorry for Big Brother, but who knew Auntie would resort to violence."

Song Yunduan looked at Shen Yan, and the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"Hey, Brother Lan, wait a moment."

Shen Yan chased after him and stopped Su Lan without saying anything: "Brother Lan, please accept it. Even if I apologize to my aunt, I will feel uneasy if you don't accept it."

In fact, Shen Yan had other plans in mind!

"Besides," Shen Yan whispered, "no matter what the eldest aunt is like, you and eldest brother are brothers after all, and he cares about you very much. Don't let me affect your brotherly love."

This time, she was serious. Shen Yan knew that she could not reveal the truth, so as not to destroy the indestructible brotherhood.

Su Lan's heart was in turmoil and she had many questions.

How many different faces does she have?

Why is it so different from the previous impression?

Holding the porcelain bowl in one hand, he gently took out the ornament from his arms with the other hand and handed it back to her.

"Sister-in-law, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Please believe that the friendship between Yunduan and I is as solid as rock and will never change."

Su Lan's gaze passed over her shoulder. Song Yunduan was standing quietly at the kitchen door, his dark eyes deep, watching the scene closely.

Su Lan didn't notice it. She nodded slightly at him, turned around and left with the dishes.

Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this pair of brothers are really kind people,

His character is noble and outstanding, just like a green bamboo standing tall among inferior wood.

But wouldn't returning the jewelry make the aunt even more jealous? She had never intended to take it back.

Jiang Zhan walked over slowly and asked softly, "Master, can you tell me something? What is the secret behind her?"

"What's the hidden secret? It's just a fall. It's probably just an act."

No one will notice the scars, and the turmoil will naturally subside in a few days.

"I see. I'll go check on her right away."

By the way, earn some extra medical fees.

Humph, that’s a good plan!

Shen Yan didn't expect that Li not only did not blame her for pushing the aunt, but instead showed her more pity.

This person has never been grateful. Forget it, not worth mentioning!

After dinner, Song Yunduan silently washed the pots and pans.

Shen Yan began to decoct the medicine.

Li was keenly aware of her eldest son's unhappiness. Perhaps he was still upset by his aunt's gossip.

Shen Yan smiled back, and there was a subtle tenderness hidden in that smile, just like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, both implicit and full of vitality. She uttered the word "no problem" softly between her lips and teeth. Although the voice was light, it seemed to have some kind of power to calm people's hearts. However, the subtle fluctuations in the depths of her eyes revealed her complex emotions. Although Yi Ge'er's words were brief in words, they were like a stone thrown into the calm lake of her heart, stirring up layers of ripples. The deep meaning hidden behind those words is like a ray of light in the fog, which makes people want to grasp it but feels confusing. The sensitivity and volatility unique to adolescence make this suspicion even more confusing.

"I'll go look for Yige'er." Song Yunfeng's voice had just fallen when he quickly disappeared behind the door. He looked around the courtyard, trying to catch the familiar figure, but there was nothing around except silence and occasional bird calls. In the end, he only left a slight sigh, which was the helplessness of not being able to find the person immediately. His footsteps involuntarily moved to the pigsty behind the toilet, where Yige'er often meditated alone.

The scene in the pigsty is not pleasing to the eye, but it has an indescribable sense of reality. Yige'er's figure huddled beside the crude pig trough, his thin body tightly hugging his knees, as if it was a silent comfort. Tears and sobs intertwined in the silence, which seemed particularly harsh, but revealed a distressing fragility. That piglet is not only the result of the family's frugality, but also the carrier of the family's dream of getting rid of poverty. The effort that Yige'er has devoted to it is far beyond the scope of what others can understand. Even if he accidentally cut himself while cutting grass for the pigs, his persistence and love have never diminished. For him, this is not just the feeding of a life, but a struggle for the fate of the family. Every careful care is a step towards hope.

To him, the growth of the piglet means that his brother can unload his burden and sleep peacefully every night; his mother can put down the endless laundry and have a moment of peace; his sister can also have a simple happiness and not envy what others have. In his heart, he has a desire for the future, which is a warm picture of family reunion and a happy life.

Song Yunfeng accidentally heard those childish conversations, although innocent between the lines, but he couldn't laugh. Every word and every decision of Yi Ge'er revolved around his family, but he forgot about himself.
