Han Chaoyang knew that if he didnât explain soon, his mom would take matters into her own hands: "Mom, I was just thinking of settling things before telling the family."
Su Aihong didnât agree: "Wedding items should be prepared in advance, luckily Iâve always been preparing."
Han Chunxue was happy to hear that her nephew finally had someone: "Sister-in-law, I still have some tickets left. Later, see if you can use them. If youâre short on tickets, remember to tell me, and Iâll exchange some with my colleagues."
Han Jingchen also turned to his elder brother: "Since Chaoyang has said so, it means the wedding date isnât far off. The old residence hasnât been renovated for many years. Itâs just the right time to get someone to tidy it up."
Han Jingheng was all smiles: "Our Han Family is having one happy event after another, a good sign."
After speaking, he looked at his second son, Han Chaoxu: "Chaoxu, your brother has found his match. You should put in more effort and donât follow his example."
Han Chaoxu replied indifferently: "Got it."
Han Chaoyang looked at his second brother. He had heard that Chaoxu and the girl from the art troupe had been together for quite some time. Whatâs going on with this kid?
Seizing a moment when nobody was paying attention, he moved next to Han Chaoxu: "Whatâs the situation with you?"
Han Chaoxu looked at his big brother: "Whatâs up?"
Han Chaoyang frowned and asked: "I heard youâre seeing Chu Zhenhua from the art troupe. Why donât you tell the family?"
Chaoxu was initially planning to find an excuse to brush it off, but Han Chaoyang spoke up: "Did you guys have a fight?"
Han Chaoxu feared his big brother might misunderstand: "You know Zhenhua is a dancer. But some time ago, after she returned from a rural performance, for some unknown reason, a rash appeared on her calf, and she accidentally scratched it.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, it all ulcerated and spread. The doctors have used all possible medications, yet thereâs been no effect. If this continues, sheâll likely have to leave the art troupe. Sheâs very upset, but I canât help her at all."
As he said this, Xinyan, who happened to be walking by, overheard him. She thought of a few ointments from the Collection of Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases and approached them, saying softly: "Second Brother, where is my future sister-in-law now?"
Han Chaoxu wasnât planning to hide his relationship, and since his sister asked, he replied honestly without much thought: "At the military hospital."
Xinyan wasnât sure if she could help, but since it was about her second brotherâs partner and the hospital had no solutions, she decided to check it out in person: "Second Brother, I once learned some things from a traveling doctor. My master specializes in difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Why donât I go over and see if I can help?"
Frankly, Han Chaoxu was a bit skeptical, but he knew his sister meant well and didnât want to embarrass her: "Alright, then thank you, Yanyan."
Xinyan naturally didnât dare to promise anything: "If I can help her, then it wonât be too late for Second Brother to thank me."
Han Chaoxu and Xinyan agreed to meet at the military hospitalâs entrance tomorrow noon, but he truly didnât hold much hope in his heart.
As they finalized their plans, everyone was about to leave.
Su Aihong took Xinyanâs hand: "In a few days, once youâre settled, let your dad bring you back to the old residence. Your aunt will make you some delicious food."
Xinyan replied with a smile: "Okay."
Han Chunxue also came over: "Yanyan, your aunt still has a few fabric tickets. Come by when you have time, and Iâll take you to pick out some fabric to make a few autumn outfits."
Xinyan quickly refused: "Aunt, last time my dad came over, he bought me a few outfits, and this time, Jinxuan also prepared a lot for me. No need to worry about me, Aunt."
